The Universities at Shady Grove

80 degree programs from 9 Maryland universities, all on 1 campus. Affordable. Career-focused. Real-world experiences. Together, We Make It Happen.

Join us! Just ahead of Juneteenth and the reopening of the historic Pleasant View site in Gaithersburg, Montgomery County native Jason Green will visit The Universities at Shady Grove for a conversation on leadership, belonging, and building stronger, more equitable communities.

Drawing from his family's ties to Pleasant View and his book, Too Precious to Lose: A Memoir of Family, Community and Possibility, Green will share how history and identity shaped his journey—from MoCo to the White House—and how those lessons can help all of us create positive change.

Oliver made it happen. 🎓

What can Montgomery County's history teach us about its future?

Join Montgomery County native Jason Green for a fireside conversation inspired by his book, Too Precious to Lose: A Memoir of Family, Community and Possibility. Taking place just before Juneteenth, this discussion explores how understanding the stories, people, and places that shape our communities can help us build stronger connections and a more vibrant future.

At the heart of Green's story is Pleasant View, a historic Montgomery County site whose 158-year legacy offers lessons in resilience, responsibility, and community. Together, we'll reflect on how preserving and understanding our shared history can inspire what comes next.

Don't miss this opportunity to explore a local story with lessons that resonate across generations and throughout our community.
