Commencement may be over, but the confetti lasts forever. This December, we celebrated the achievements and accomplishments of the class of 2019. President Freeman Hrabowski addressed the magnitude of the occasion saying, “Today, graduates, this is a time for dreams fulfilled.”

Some of our graduates called UMBC “home” from day one, and some found us in their second act. Some pursued their passions, and some found new ones entirely. Some relied on a tight-knit family structure, and some leaned on community support. But all of our graduates are bringing the knowledge they gained at UMBC to their futures. We can’t wait to see what’s next for these members of #RetrieverNation!

Graduates and those cheering them on can share memories, well wishes, and photos through #UMBCgrad, and view UMBC’s Facebook page, Instagram, and Twitter accounts for coverage of the festivities. Videos with captioning from both ceremonies can be found on UMBC’s YouTube page.

Deerfield Academy seeks innovative and energetic candidates to fill the position of Teaching Fellow, a full-time, year-round position available for June 14, 2020 start.

Each year Deerfield hires 2-4 aspiring teachers as Teaching Fellows for a two-year program in which they have an opportunity to develop their teaching practice and, at the same time, earn a M.S.Ed. from the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education. Teaching Fellows work with an experienced mentor, teach several classes, and participate in the rich and varied life of a boarding school while they also, with a cohort of peers, pursue the master’s degree awarded by UPenn GSE.

We’re looking for candidates who love and excel in their subjects, care deeply about students, work collaboratively with others, and are deeply committed to developing an inclusive community. As a private boarding school, Deerfield offers an outstanding teaching environment, great benefits, and students who are eager to learn. Deerfield actively seeks to increase the diversity of its faculty. 

Deerfield Academy seeks innovative and energetic people to fill the position of Teaching Fellow for the 2020-2022 years.
