Four Goucher College faculty members have been selected as the 2025 cohort of the Myra Berman Kurtz Fund for Faculty Research and Exploration of the Sciences (KRES Fund) Year of Exploration.

As part of the strategic partnership, Goucher and Whiting-Turner are developing ways to use the new state-of-the-art headquarters as a hub for introducing young people to career opportunities in today’s high-tech and innovative industries of design and construction.

This collaboration offers Friends School students access to a guaranteed admission program and significant financial support through merit-based scholarships, while opening the door for Goucher to attract a diverse cohort of academically talented, well-rounded students.

On January 3, 2025, John "Johnny O" Olszewski Jr., Ph.D., Class of 2004, was sworn in to the U.S. House of Representatives to represent Maryland's 2nd Congressional District. As a Goucher graduate, Olszewski has strong ties to the Goucher community and previously served as a Goucher College Board of Trustees member. He has a career in public service as a former public-school teacher, member of the Maryland House of Delegates, and most recently serving as the Baltimore County executive.

Thanks to the support from U.S. senators Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen and U.S. Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, the Goucher Prison Education Partnership (GPEP) recently received a $355,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Education to upgrade and expand its offerings.
