By welcoming community members\, students\, faculty\, staff and elected officials\, we invite all interested participants to join our engagement efforts to challenge misperceptions\, interrogate contradictions\, and explore solutions to community problems that respect all parties.   \nProposed Invitees: College community; local community members; co-sponsors’ contacts; MCPS folks; donors
