Music, STEM, Drones on Tap at CSM
The College of Southern Maryland has another busy month of activities planned in April at all of its campuses.
Scholarship Gets Boost From a Birthday
When 8-year-old Evan Walsh Gurklis of Red Lion, Pa., said he could not wait to celebrate his birthday in November, he had a special purpose. Gurklis planned to invite teammates from his fall baseball league team and friends from his second-grade class. He asked his parents to host the party at a large sports complex near his home. But this kid’s plans had nothing to do with himself: they were about the Walsh Scholarship at College of Southern Maryland.
