New poems from Assistant Professor Edgar Kunz ’10 have recently been featured in the press.

In fourth grade, Amy Meislin Pollack '74 created a character in her head. It is only recently, 60 years later, that Jelly Bean has been released to the world through her very own book, The Adventures of Jelly Bean.

In the past year, Goucher College faculty have made discoveries, published new research, and pushed forward new ideas in history and culture. From identifying the bacteria of the skin mucus of Zebrafish to examining the rise of the Dutch Far Right, these professors are at the forefront of their fields.

Shelley Stokes Hammond MAHP '12 grew up in a Cleveland neighborhood named Ludlow. In 1957 Ludlow would become known as the place where the garage at the new home of a professional African American couple was bombed in an effort to scare them out of town because of the color of their skin. Years later, it would become a historic site on the Civil Rights Trail in Cleveland. What came after this event is truly inspiring.

Each year, Goucher College undergraduates are eligible to apply for three Phi Beta Kappa Awards. In 2022, GPEP students participated for the first time. The Phi Beta Kappa Award for Fine Arts was awarded to a student at MCIW, Shaka Wakefield. Inspired by Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher, Shaka's winning piece represents her journey in understanding perspective. Using a limited medium of colored pencils and sharpie pens, she was able to achieve extraordinary depth. Shaka's participation in the process and selection as the winner helps shift perspectives of GPEP students--both among GPEP students themselves in recognizing their value on a level playing field, and among members of Goucher's Towson campus whose viewpoints are broadened and strengthened by their fellow students at the prison campuses.
