By MCS Staff

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is expected to follow up on a warning President Trump made earlier this week when he tweeted “Next week ICE will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States. They will be removed as fast as they come in.”

​The immigration enforcement efforts will occur in Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York, and San Francisco, and are intended to detain people from up to 2,000 families.

Undergraduate Expo at The Universities at Shady Grove

By MCS Staff

If you’ve ever shopped at Traville Village, Travilah Square, or Fallsgrove Village Center in Rockville, you’ve been within walking distance of a campus with over 60 undergrad and grad degree programs but like me, probably had no idea it even existed.

Basically how it works is that students find the university offering their chosen major at USG and apply directly there. On the application, they can choose Shady Grove as their preferred campus location, but they still get the same professors, take the same classes, and earn the same diploma as they would if they went to that school’s main campus.
