Without the Sellinger Program and other vital initiatives at Loyola and universities nationwide, the impact on students, families, faculty, alumni, donors, vendors, and friends is significant. Your support in discussing and sharing this cause is crucial.

Maryland’s Sellinger Program provides essential funding that helps Loyola University Maryland provide additional financial aid to our Maryland students. Right now, lawmakers are contemplating cutting funding for the Sellinger program in HALF! This would be devastating to our existing students and ...

Wow. We are so impressed with the dialogue during today's conversation. Engaging in a dialogue regarding what's possible and where the Montessori community stands is powerful. As Koren Clark discussed today, Maria Montessori spoke of the spiritual preparation of the adult, which focuses on the love for the human child. That love is what is what transforms the social duty of the educator. Think about that for a few minutes...

Acknowledging how the systems of education as a whole in the US, which includes Montessori education, has impacted our society is real. Being a part of the conversation and creating actions through coursework, professional development, and true, honest shifts in thinking is the key to change. This change is energizing, and it is hard work.

Thank you, Embracing Equity, for keeping it real. Loyola University Maryland's Center for Montessori Education will continue to push into this work, bringing high-impact, real conversation to the front of our coursework and our practice. We stand behind and with you!!!
