Capitol College is proud to announce that Rachel Burns has been named the college's new assistant director of development.  

"After just over two years at the college, I have transitioned into the development office at Capitol College. I am very excited about the new opportunities I'll have in this role, which includes working with our Alumni Association. Thankfully, I'm already on a first-name basis with most of our Alumni Council, and many of our alumni live in the DC metro area."

Stay tuned for upcoming alumni events on campus and in the local community. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact Rachel at reburns@capitol-college.edu. 

Once again, Capitol hosted the Maryland FIRST Robotics Kickoff Event on Jan. 5, and welcomed more than 450 high school students, family members and mentors to the Avrum Gudelsky Memorial Auditorium. Students from Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington D.C. all came to campus to pick up their robotic kits and learn the parameters for the 2013 FIRST Robotics Competition.
