The Global Teaching Project was created to advance a fundamental Civil Right—the right to a quality education—and we have made progress toward that goal. The Global Teaching Project has helped close educational disparities afflicting underserved rural, low-income, and minority communities by providing promising high school students access to rigorous courses that otherwise would be unavailable. We do so because we believe in the promise of America. Yet that promise is not evident to all, and is denied to some as a consequence of poverty, injustice, and even violence.
We condemn the conduct involved in the death of George Floyd, which is unworthy of our great nation, and support calls for justice to be served. We join with those who honor the ideals articulated in our founding documents, and resolve to work to help make those ideals a reality for all Americans.

My name is Megan Kenny, and I am a fourth year (senior) at the University of Virginia. My major is Astronomy-Physics, but I also love to take poetry writing classes and classes in the Department of Women, Gender, and Sexuality studies. I also do research on the Sun (specifically studying the hot gas out in the Sun’s atmosphere-called the corona- and in the expanding corona-called the solar wind). The Sun is very quiet right now, meaning there isn’t much energetic activity going on, but it’s still good to understand these ‘background conditions.’ More violent solar activity can include the ejection …
