In our rapidly evolving society, the act of building community holds greater significance than ever before. It's about creating spaces where individuals collaborate and collectively work towards a common goal, actively building community.
One remarkable aspect of community building is the idea of shared resources. In a recent episode of UMBC's Mic'd Up podcast, Emily Shrope, M.P.S. '23, sheds light on this concept through her capstone project. Emily worked with the Station North Tool Library, a unique initiative where individuals can access various tools. This resource-sharing platform reduces waste and promotes a culture of collaboration within the community.
