The College of Southern Maryland announces the for-mation of two community institutes to address criticalindividual and community needs within the region. Ascollaborative efforts bringing together various agenciesand individuals and with funding provided by the CharlesCounty Commissioners, the college will coordinate theefforts of the newly formed Diversity Institute at the Col-lege of Southern Maryland as well as the Nonprofit Insti-tute at the College of Southern Maryland.

"Throughout its history, CSM has worked to ensurethe vitality of Southern Maryland, to enhance the lives ofthose we serve and to meet the diverse needs of our stu-dents and the community. We are very excited to be ableto coordinate these two initiatives," said CSM PresidentDr. Brad Gottfried. "The Diversity Institute will addresspressing social issues that are facing Charles County andwill model how a community can address diversity issuesin a productive manner while the Nonprofit Institute willnow be able to more fully address the critical needs ofnonprofits. This institute will work with each CharlesCounty nonprofit organization to help each develop itsmanagement, leadership and fundraising skills."

The Charles County Commissioners' approval of thecollege's request to fund $95,935 for the community in-stitutes will provide for part-time positions for the insti-tutes to coordinate daily operations as well as the abilityfor nonprofits to attend training sessions at no cost.

"Without the funding approved by the Charles CountyCommissioners the college would be unable to move for-ward with these two new community institutes," Got-tfried said. "Their support demonstrates their commit-ment to the citizens of Charles County, to promote thecultural diversity and multicultural understanding of ourcommunity and to improve the viability of our nonprofitorganizations so that they are able to effectively servetheir clients."

"The Commissioners strongly support CSM in creat-ing nonprofit and diversity institutes. We are pleased tobe able to provide funding for these initiatives, which willbenefit the community on many levels. We are hopefulthat these institutes will translate into models for publicengagement and addressing community needs in a pro-ductive manner," said Charles County CommissionerPresident Candice Quinn Kelly.

The Diversity Institute will be housed at the La PlataCampus under the college's Office of Institutional Equityand Diversity, and will reflect an open, supportive andwelcoming environment that creates a sense of belongingamong all within our community, according to MakebaClay, executive director of Institutional Equity and Diver-sity Office at CSM. Clay will provide the oversight and di-rection and will work with a part-time coordinator to im-plement the daily operations of the Institute. As withCSM's other programs, a Community Advisory Councilwill be established from stakeholders and key strategicpartners to provide insight.

"We envision this as an opportunity to build on the

synergy that we have already created at the collegearound issues that intersect identity, social justice andcultural understanding, and really feel that putting a pro-gram like this in the community will give us an opportu-nity to engage our citizens around very important is-sues," Clay said. "In the first year we will be working on acampaign to let people know that this program exists,and we will have a number of featured programs thatpeople will be able to participate in, such as trainings andcommunity forums. We are also looking at ways to be cre-ative in thinking about diversity in the creative arts realm,so we will be looking to our community partners to thinkabout diversity in the context of different types of arts."

Clay added that the Diversity Institute's specific goalswill include increasing understanding and mutual re-spect in the community, bringing diverse groups togeth-er, working to develop support systems of inclusion, andproviding service and leadership opportunities to helpreduce conflict and build communities. Program areaswill include training and certification; community en-gagement through public forums, lectures and other sus-tained dialogues; conflict resolution; youth leadershipand social justice, and research and policy development.

With the growing importance of the nonprofit com-munity, particularly in light of the economic environ-ment, Gottfried said that the Nonprofit Institute at CSMhas been functioning for two years on a limited basis withthe support of the three United Ways in Southern Mary-land.

Despite no funding, the institute has conducted bi-monthly breakfast meetings, training workshops, an an-nual conference, a listserv and networking opportunitiesfor more than 50 nonprofits. With the county's funding,the Nonprofit Institute at CSM will be more effective andbe able to increase its capacity to serve nonprofit employ-ees and volunteers, Gottfried said.

"The Nonprofit Institute will work directly with eachCharles County nonprofit organization to determine itsunique needs to expand its capacity to serve the public.This may involve training, pairing with community pro-fessionals to assist in specific functions, and advice onhow to marshal resources, streamline operations andmarket itself," Gottfried said. "We will work to foster dia-logue and networking among the nonprofits and we willwork together to address the most pressing social serveneeds of Charles County's residents. The institute willalso develop a list of community professionals who canprovide pro bono assistance. They are out there," Got-tfried said, "but have not been tapped to assist."

The Nonprofit Institute will be coordinated from theLa Plata Campus, with a part-time coordinator who willassess and develop training for Charles County nonprofitorganizations as well as develop noncredit certificateprograms in such areas as nonprofit management, lead-ership and advancement. Planning is underway for thenext annual Nonprofit Conference at the La Plata Cam-pus for March 8, 2013.

In 2012, the Scholarships for Military Children Programcelebrated a major milestone as it reached more than $10million in scholarships awarded to 6,742 students fromaround the globe.

It's time, once again, to add to these impressive num-bers, as applications for the 2013 Scholarships for MilitaryChildren Program became available on Dec. 3 at commis-saries worldwide. You can also find them online through alink at http://www.commissaries.com and directly athttp://www.militaryscholar.org.

Scholarship awards will be based on funds available, butthe scholarship program awards at least $1,500 at each com-missary. If there are no eligible applicants from a particularcommissary, the funds designated for that commissary will

be awarded as an additional scholarship at another store.The scholarship program was created to recognize mili-

tary families' contributions to the readiness of U.S. armedforces and to celebrate the commissary's role in the militarycommunity.

"DeCA is focused on supporting a good quality of life forour military and their families," said Defense CommissaryAgency Director and CEO Joseph H. Jeu. "We do that by de-livering a great commissary benefit, while our industry part-ners and public donations help the scholarship programprovide money for higher education to many worthwhilestudents."

To apply for a scholarship, the student must be a depend-ent, unmarried child, younger than 21 - or 23, if enrolled asa full-time student at a college or university - of a servicemember on active duty, reservist, guardsman, retiree or sur-vivor of a military member who died while on active duty orsurvivor of a retiree. Eligibility is determined using the De-fense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System database.

Applicants should ensure that they, as well as their spon-sor, are enrolled in the DEERS database and have a currentmilitary ID card. The applicant must also be planning to at-tend or already attending an accredited college or university,full time, in the fall of 2013 or be enrolled in a program ofstudies designed to transfer directly into a four-year pro-gram.

Applicants must submit an essay on a topic chosen bythe Fisher House. The essay topic will be available Dec. 3 onhttp://www.militaryscholar.org. Applications must beturned in to a commissary by close of business Feb. 22, 2013.

The scholarship program is administered by FisherHouse Foundation, a nonprofit organization that providesassistance to service members and their families. Scholar-ship Managers, a national, nonprofit, scholarship-manage-ment services organization, manages and awards these mil-itary scholarships. If students have questions about thescholarship program application, call Scholarship Managersat 856-616-9311 or email them at militaryscholar@scholar-shipmanagers.com.

No government funds are used to support the Scholar-ships for Military Children Program. Commissary vendors,manufacturers, brokers, suppliers and the general publicdonate money to fund the program. Every dollar donatedgoes directly to funding the scholarships.

Fleet with technical innovations and process improvements.In addition, our Laser Weapon System Team overcame a mul-titude of technical and design, ship integration, and logisticschallenges to demonstrate the potential capability of a shipbased laser weapon system."

The entire Acquisition and In-Service Engineering Leader-ship team consisted of two NSWCDD Chemical, Biological andRadiological (CBR) Defense Division engineers - NancyHaymes and Jeffrey Smith - who were recognized for their lead-ership that enabled the CBR Detection Systems Branch to pro-vide cost avoidance and savings to the Navy.

Together, Haymes and Smith saved more than $880,000 incosts while meeting legal and regulatory radioactive sourcetracking requirements for chemical and biological detectorsacross the FutureYear Defense Program.They were recognizedfor working closely with customers over the last two years toreduce the costs of maintaining detector readiness by identi-fying and implementing cost reduction initiatives.

The Laser Weapon System Team was honored for success-fully completing an extremely challenging development andtest program, culminating in August 2012 with several success-ful unmanned aerial vehicle shootdowns from a Navy destroyerwith a laser weapon - a Navy first.

According to the nomination, the 43 member team - com-prised of 31 NSWCDD employees - was recognized for, "selflessdevotion to duty, irrepressible work ethic, and unwaveringcommitment to the NAVSEA goal of building the future Fleet,"adding that the team, "successfully proved the military utilityof lasers on the battlefield, and provided the benchmark for fu-ture laser weapon systems."

The College of Southern Maryland held its first Robot-ics Challenge - Collegiate Division, winning against Muh-lenberg College on Nov. 3 at the La Plata Campus.

Engineering positions will always be in demand, saidByron Brezina, a technical engineering project managerat the Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Di-vision (NAVEODTECHDIV), who attended and demon-strated two Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) robots atthe competition.

EOD robots have proven invaluable because each de-stroyed robot symbolizes a saved human life, which cor-roborates the importance of engineering technology andlearning for students today, said Brezina.

The EOD robots provide EOD technicians with situa-tional awareness and are typically used in hostile situa-tions. It's standard procedure to send in a robot first toassess a potentially dangerous situation, said Brezina.

"The CSM engineering students are learning all thecontrols and structures and it's basically the same con-cept," he said.

In the game of "Sack Attack," the conference room'sprojector screen announced the competition of the CSM

Talons against Muhlenberg College of Allentown, Pa.Both college teams designed and built two robots and

each match totaled two minutes, said Bernice Brezina,CSM professor and Talons team leader, as she explainedthat the first 60-second autonomous challenge was fol-lowed by a 60-second remote-controlled challenge.

Using a small concourse, the robots scored points ac-cording to how many bags each machine could scoop,transport and dispense into center troughs with eachmatch's results displayed on the projector screen.

"I want to be a bio-mechanical engineer who makesprosthetic limbs," said first-time Muhlenberg Collegeteam competitor and engineering student, MacauleyBreault of Allentown, Pa.

"Computers have changed the world," said formermath and physics professor Peter Ezeswenna of Waldorf,whose 19-year-old son, Chiebuka, competed with theTalons team.

Chiebuka Ezeswenna wants to be a computer scientistand joined the Talons as an extracurricular activity. "It'sa great environment for practical coding for somethingtangible," he said, adding that he also wrote some of thecoding and the autonomous for the team's small robotnicknamed "Overkill Junior."

The event attracted local resident Michael McPhee ofLa Plata and his 7-year-old son, Steven, because he enjoysthe action figures and movie "Transformers."

Winning at the Collegiate Level in Robotics

Chiebuka Ezekwenna, of Waldorf, a student atthe College of Southern Maryland and a memberof CSM's collegiate robotics team, the Talons,makes some programming adjustments duringthe Nov. 3 robotics competition with MulhlenburgCollege of Pennsylvania.

the town of Colonial Beach you have taken initiative to im-prove lines of communication and strengthen the workingrelationship between the community you represent andthe military community at Dahlgren," Nette told Rum-mage and the town council. "Your support of our SouthPotomac Military-Community Relations Council was cru-cial to the successful launch of this effort to establish a fo-rum for consistent and efficient two-way communicationbetween South Potomac installations and the surroundingcommunity. You have been fully engaged your role as a

member of the council's executive committee and havemade a significant contribution to the leadership and di-rection of the council's program and activities over the lastfive years.

"In recognition of your contribution as a proactive ad-vocate of the Dahlgren military community and the mis-sions and activities accomplished at Naval Support Facil-ity Dahlgren, in support of our national defense, it's mydistinct pleasure to present you with NSA South Po-tomac's first American Patriot Award."

The American Patriot Award was established by NSASPto recognize members of the community for their support

of Dahlgren's military activities and the national defense."I can think of no better, deserving individual to recog-

nize with this inaugural award," Nette told Rummage." Asyou leave public office, I wish you fair winds and followingseas in all your future endeavors, and I thank you for yoursupport and friendship."

"Thank you very much," Rummage told Nette and thecouncil. "I've had occasion to work with [Capt. Nette] ona regular basis on the executive committee as well as the[NSASP] community relations council, but I didn't expectanything like this. I thank you, sir. I am really impressed."

DominionVirginia Power -- said he was proud of his companywillingness to help the Dahlgren Heritage Museum take thenext step toward opening.

"It's my honor to be here to represent Dominion on thisspecial day," he said. "My company's involvement with theDahlgren Museum is a great fit for two reasons. One, we'rebig believers in giving back to the community through ourvolunteers projects, our charitable giving and other formsof outreach. Anytime we can strengthen the neighbor-hoods where our employees live and work, everybody ben-efits.

"Second, Dominion is a big supporter of the military,"Blevins continued. "In fact, military veterans are a specialfocus for us. We have more than 1,300 veterans who workfor Dominion in 14 states, including Virginia. The experi-ence has taught us that veterans have many of the skills weneed in our workforce."

Ed Jones, president of the Dahlgren Heritage Founda-tion, thanked Dominion. "On behalf of the Dahlgren Her-itage Foundation - a passionate and committed group offolks from this community and beyond - I want to expressmy deepest thanks to the Dominion Foundation and toDominion Resources for this generous and timely grant,and to Rob Gates for getting it! Friends from Dominion:please know that this means the world to us."

Like Gates, Jones said the grant would help theDahlgren Heritage Foundation create exhibits. "This mon-ey will help us create and install the first exhibits for ourmuseum building, right down the road from here," he said."Those exhibits will, in turn, allow us to open the facility in

2013."What's more, through forums and lectures related to

the exhibits, we will be able to enhance our role as a con-vener of the community, with discussions and programsthat reflect the spirit of Dahlgren," Jones added.

Jones said the Dahlgren Heritage Museum will take aunique approach to preserving history. "Museums can nolonger be warehouses of musty artifacts," he said. "Wewant to draw on the science and technology of Dahlgren'spast and present in ways that support Dahlgren's future,through [science, technology, engineering and math] edu-cation in the school systems, internships on and off thebase, and programs that inspire youngsters to follow in thefootsteps of Dahlgren's pioneers.

"We have big plans," Jones continued. "And thanks toDominion we are a big step closer to achieving them."

A long list of local and state leaders thanked Dominionfor the grant, including Congressman Rob Wittman andSenator Mark Warner, both of whom sent letters of support.Virginia state Senator Richard Stuart, Bill Howell, speakerof the Virginia House of Delegates, and Delegate MargaretRansone spoke at the ceremony and praised the grant fromDominion.

Ruby Brabo, Dahlgren District Supervisor for KingGeorge County and a member of the Dahlgren HeritageFoundation Board of Directors, said she was proud to sup-port the project and added that the museum would helpboost the region's economy. "Museums rank among thetop three for family destinations," said Brabo. "More than850 million people visit American museums each year."

Capt. Pete Nette, commanding officer of Naval SupportActivity South Potomac, thanked Dominion for helping tell

the story of the military personnel and employees whosework made Dahlgren a center for military innovation.

"On behalf of Naval Support Activity South Potomacand entire military community represented here in theDahlgren area and the Navy base there, I want to expressmy sincere appreciation to Dominion for the grant to themuseum foundation and the community at large."

The Dahlgren Heritage Museum will be the first in a se-ries of new, privately-funded and operated museums thatdocument different aspects of Navy history. The museumwill follow Navy protocols and receive guidance and sup-
