    <div class="html-content">B<span>y: Matthew Milo
    </span><span>Photo Credit: Mike Washington</span><span><br></span><span><p><span>Stephanie Marceron graduated from UMBC with a MCS degree in the Fall ‘23 semester, and has since become the Chanel boutique manager at Ulta, where she has worked since starting there in 2021. Stephanie worked on the media campaign production team for MCS last semester, and spoke highly of the MCS department.  She recommended using the valuable resources available in the MCS department as well as the resourceful and helpful professors.</span></p>
    <br><p><span>“The professors were so encouraging and supportive throughout my time at UMBC. It always felt like Dr.Snyder and Dr.Loviglio, in particular, were in my corner as I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my Capstone and then what I wanted to specialize in with my degree. Through their guidance, I developed a project that became the pride of my academic career that I will be putting forth for publication in August.”</span></p>
    <br><p><span>When asked about some of her favorite experiences, she told me about a fantastic experience where media and entertainment intersect in a fun way.</span></p>
    <br><p><span>“Honestly, I think my favorite memory is when I was giving my presentation for my capstone, and I warned everybody that I would be showing clips from horror films because my paper was all about the use of sound in horror media, and just saw the look of disgust and discomfort on my classmates faces when I showed them the chest-burster scene from alien it was amusing to me because I knew that the sound was getting to them, and I did the same thing with a specific sequence from dead space, the game.”</span></p>
    <br><p><span>Stephanie has gone on from UMBC to gain promotion and success in her career by rising the ranks to manage her own Chanel Boutique for Ulta, while also getting to cement her academic work into publication which will be ready later this Fall. She is a great example of the shining talent at UMBC that grows in MCS and goes on to change the world for the better both as a person and as a community.</span></p>

<Title>CBEE students visit the Ashburton Filtration Plant</Title>
<Tagline>Spring 2024  - Environmental Physicochemical Process</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>At the end of the Spring 2024 semester, Dr. Blaney’s Environmental Physicochemical Processes course (ENCH 412 and ENEN 612) visited the Ashburton Filtration Plant, Baltimore’s largest drinking water treatment plant. Students had the chance to see how the processes they learned about in class, namely coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, granular media filtration, and disinfection, treat 165 million gallons of drinking water for Baltimore every day. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Mohammed Almafrachi, Engineering Manager for the Baltimore City Department of Public Works, gave an excellent tour. His in-depth knowledge of the treatment processes and on-the-ground experience managing the facility helped students understand how the concepts that they learned in class provide clean drinking water to Baltimore residents. He stressed the importance of being adaptable to challenges, telling the students “You can’t troubleshoot without trouble.” </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>We also enjoyed learning about the importance of water quality testing throughout the distribution system from Deneen Gordon, the Laboratory Technical Administrator for Baltimore’s drinking water treatment plants. She emphasized the new challenges awaiting the next generation of water quality engineers and motivated our students to tackle those challenges head on.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Thanks to all of the other Ashburton staff members that shared their expertise with us during the visit. We left inspired by your commitment to ensuring the health and safety of Baltimore residents. Thank you for your service!</div>
