P residents Message Welcome to the 2020 Founders Week Gala, A Night of Stars. As the University of Maryland, Baltimore’s (UMB) newly appointed president, it is my honor to be your host. While the COVID-19 pandemic has caused us to celebrate virtually, I hope you will all feel a sense of community and the energy emanating from this evening of stars.

This evening’s Gala, while in a different format from years past, will allow us to celebrate the University’s storied past and exciting future. We honor the extraordinary community of people who live UMB’s mission.

We recognize our enormous contributions to the public good, locally and globally, and pledge to work even harder to expand our reach and amplify our impact. This year, especially, we feel that connection to fnding solutions and ways forward to improve the public good.

Tonight, we will honor four faculty members who represent the best of us — in teaching, research, public service, and entrepreneurship. We also will highlight six Catalysts for Excellence: faculty, alumni, and philanthropists who believe in our work and whose support enables and enlarges it. In addition, we will feature our Distinguished Service Award recipients. Tonight’s program gives us an opportunity to not only recognize some of UMB’s stars but also to celebrate together — and have fun.

The UMB community needs you: We cannot cure disease, or strengthen communities, or drive discovery, or safeguard health, well-being, and justice for millions of people every day without your support. Thank you for spending this night with us. I hope you enjoy the program.

Bruce E. Jarrell, MD, FACS President

RESEARCHER OF THE YEAR

Jay S. Magaziner, PhD, MSHyg School of Medicine

It was the 1970s, and the feld of aging was mostly an unexplored area of study. Jay Magaziner was working in childhood development when he was drawn to the thenuncharted feld and its immense potential.

Decades later, he has become a pioneer, a mentor, and one of the world’s pre-eminent researchers in hip fracture recovery.

Magaziner, professor and chair of the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, has been driven by his desire to help people recover as he has studied the effects of hip fracture in the aging population.

“We know that hip fracture, stroke, and sudden fall injury reduce people’s ability to walk. They also may get confused, feel depressed, and have fewer contacts with friends.

These are all functional limitations that get in the way of carrying out their everyday lives,” he says.

“And what I’ve been interested in is, what happens in each of these functional areas and what can we do to actually help people to recover from them? What are the key things we can do to ensure that they get back to as close to their prior functional level as possible?”

Magaziner’s research focuses on examining changes in function, bone, and muscle after hip fracture and the effects of new rehabilitation programs on outcomes such as the ability to walk.

Magaziner’s colleagues at the University of Maryland, Baltimore’s schools talk about his compassion, his collaboration, his mentorship, and his legacy.

“His accomplishments in research — through peer-reviewed manuscripts, funded grants, and training opportunities — are a legacy, not only for scholars and clinicians who endeavor in the geriatric arena, but for older persons as well,” says Linda SimoniWastila, PhD, the Parke-Davis Chair in Geriatric Pharmacotherapy in the Department of Pharmaceutical Health Services Research at the School of Pharmacy. “His work makes a fundamental difference in the way in which researchers approach their studies, the way clinicians treat their patients, and the way in which older persons approach their health and lives.”

Magaziner attributes his success to his colleagues and students, and their openness to collaborate freely.

“There are colleagues all over the University and elsewhere in the country who are doing work in this area. My success is based on their success,” he says.

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, BALTIMORE

PUBLIC SERVANT OF THE YEAR

Maureen A. Sweeney, JD Francis King Carey School of Law

Working tirelessly on behalf of people facing asylum or immigration crises, Maureen Sweeney has inspired students, colleagues, and clients during her 16-year tenure at the Francis King Carey School of Law. To Sweeney, though, the inspiration goes both ways.

“I love the work of asylum and immigration law and have stuck with it because I’m continually inspired by my clients, who are resilient, hardworking, loving, and remarkably generous people,” said Sweeney, professor and director of the school’s Immigration Law Clinic. “As a teacher, I am equally inspired by the energy and enthusiasm for justice that I see in our students.”

Sweeney teaches her students to combine legal theory with practice and gives them opportunities to help poor or marginalized members of the community who lack access to justice. She represents clients facing a range of legal issues that place their ability to remain in the United States in peril. She works on broader issues impacting immigrant communities and is an active member of several organizations that assist immigrants.

And she strives to educate the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) community and the public at-large about these issues.

Sweeney’s selection as Public Servant of the Year is well-deserved, says UM Carey School of Law Dean Donald B. Tobin, JD, who points out that the professor advances UMB’s mission to improve the human condition and serve the public good.

“Professor Sweeney’s work goes to the core of human rights and human dignity,” Tobin said. “She is dedicated to the most vulnerable members of our society. People who lack citizenship also often lack access to legal services, courts, education, and due process. They fnd themselves in a system they don’t understand without the resources to adjudicate their rights. The work of Professor Sweeney and her students seeks to address these problems.”

Sweeney says she was surprised and honored to be singled out at a university that includes so many people doing public service in a variety of felds.

“I’m delighted to see that the work of standing up for the kind of country we want to be and defending our immigrant family members, friends, and neighbors continues to be valued and celebrated across UMB,” Sweeney said.

DAVID J. RAMSAY ENTREPRENEUR OF THE YEAR

Joseph R. Scalea, MD ’07 School of Medicine If you talk to Joseph Scalea for 20 minutes about his life’s work, you’ll see why his colleagues in medicine and business rave about his can-do attitude and high energy. You’ll also understand why he’s the University of Maryland, Baltimore’s (UMB) 2020 David J. Ramsay Entrepreneur of the Year.

“I’m ecstatic, surprised, and energized about this award,” said Scalea, associate professor in the School of Medicine’s (SOM) Department of Surgery and a multi-organ transplant specialist. “I have a lot of energy, but events like this keep me going. They remind me that the work we’re doing is important, that there are lives to be saved.”

Scalea is executing his mission to save lives through research, education, clinical activity, and innovation, which all contribute to his game-changing entrepreneurial pursuits. In only four years as a faculty member at SOM, he has built the largest combined kidney-pancreas program in the United States, generated highly disruptive ideas, and co-founded three startups, including MediGO and MissionGO. The Baltimore-based companies are designed to improve the logistics of the human organ transplant supply chain and provide innovative applications for unmanned aircraft.

These efforts brought national acclaim to SOM and the University of Maryland Medical Center in 2019, when Scalea and his colleagues performed the frst transplant of a human organ transported by drone. He was the project leader and one of the surgeons who performed the successful kidney transplant.

The drone traveled 3 miles in about 10 minutes. Scalea described the fight as “one small hop for a drone, one major leap for medicine” as well as “a pioneering breakthrough in transplantation.”

Collaboration was critical to the drone fight, delivery, and transplant, which included more than 100 contributors and a partnership among the University of Maryland Medical System, the University of Maryland, College Park’s A. James Clark School of Engineering, the University of Maryland Unmanned Aircraft Systems Test Site, the nonproft Living Legacy Foundation, and others.

“One of my proudest moments was seeing that drone land on the roof of Shock Trauma, not only because it was a technological and a scientifc achievement, but because it represented the efforts of more than 100 people,” Scalea said. “The amount of collaboration that came together through the University of Maryland system was remarkable.”

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, BALTIMORE

EDUCATOR OF THE YEAR

Russell A. McClain, JD ’95 Francis King Carey School of Law

When Russell McClain started law school, he saw himself as an unremarkable student. That all changed as his professors sparked an “intellectual awakening” in him that led him to where he is now.

A professor at his alma mater, McClain says his purpose is to inspire his own students in the same way.

“The most important thing I can communicate to them is that they are capable. My overriding professional mission is to help students have the breakthrough I had as a law student — to see that they are capable of more than they can imagine,” he says.

McClain, who also is associate dean for diversity and inclusion and director of the Academic Achievement Program, is known as one of the best professors in the Francis King Carey School of Law, according to Dean Donald B. Tobin, JD. “Professor McClain’s passion for teaching and education manifest in his classroom performance, his scholarship and research interests, and his administrative leadership,” Tobin said. “He is as devoted and accomplished an educator as I have seen.”

Students in courses such as Bar Exam Preparation, Contracts, and Commercial Law praise McClain’s communication with them and his willingness to discuss and analyze issues with different sides and perspectives.

“Professor McClain is celebrated by students for the genuine rapport he forges with them and his evident investment in their comprehension and success,” says Michael Pappas, JD, professor and associate dean for research and faculty development at the law school. “They praise, as well, his use of humor, his wide-ranging intellectual repertoire, and his ability to engage all members of a class.”

McClain is passionate about increasing diversity in the law profession. As associate dean for diversity and inclusion, he helps develop and implement an inclusion and equity strategy by participating in training, student recruiting, organizing diversity programming, supporting marginalized students, and managing crises.

“My colleagues and I all need to be aware of the fact that our students, especially our new students, are looking for guidance from us in these challenging times,” McClain says.

“We are surrounded by overwhelming proof that racial and social injustice persists, and our students are looking to us to see how law and lawyers can make a difference.

“Our educational mission is as important as ever.”

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND BALTIMORE FOUNDATION, INC.

2020 DISTINGUISHED SERVICE Award Recipients

This annual award recognizes the outstanding achievements of volunteers — or a team of volunteers — who have substantially contributed to enhancing and sustaining the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB).

MARCO AND DEBBIE CHACÓN Marco and Debbie Chacón have been valued members of the UMB community for many years, generously supporting entrepreneurial, philanthropic, and educational initiatives.

In 2009, they moved the company they founded, Paragon, to the University of Maryland BioPark, and it quickly grew to become the largest company there, employing hundreds and collaborating extensively with UMB. In 2014, Marco Chacón joined the UMB Foundation as a trustee and has been a consistent source of advice and counsel as well as an advocate, leader, and trusted mentor regarding the strategic direction of the Graduate School.

Most recently, the Chacóns founded the Alicia and Yaya Foundation, which has been a generous benefactor of UMB as it supports science, education, children, and the less fortunate. In 2019, the foundation established the Alicia and Yaya Global Fellowship Program to enhance global learning experiences, support innovation in global health, and foster relations between UMB and institutions in Costa Rica.

The Alicia and Yaya Foundation has always prioritized supporting those when they need it most. At the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, it supported the Graduate School Student Emergency Fund to help students alleviate unexpected fnancial difculties brought on by the crisis. The foundation also provided support to sustain operations and complete the fnal phase of construction of UMB’s new Community Engagement Center. Finally, it pledged support to a new cohort of UMB CURE Scholars as they receive innovative STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) programming and academic support from sixth grade to high school graduation and beyond.

The UMB Foundation honors the Chacóns with the 2020 Distinguished Service Award in recognition of their dedication to UMB, our students, our community, and innovations in global health and education.

THE POWER OF PHILANTHROPY The word philanthropy comes from the Greek words “philos” meaning “love,” and “anthropos” meaning “humankind” or “the love of humankind.” Philanthropy is the pure act of being generous by putting others above oneself. This generosity is magnifed in diferent forms through the gifts of time, treasure, and talent.

History is replete with treasured philanthropic acts: fnancial investment that drives change, creates greater access for all, helps the less fortunate, and lifts our shared world. Volunteerism also is a great philanthropic act by providing time and talent to improve local communities and give hope and reafrmation to others. When it comes to philanthropy, there is no threshold for an amount given or time committed. Rather, it is in the total sum of these acts that brings out the best of humankind and makes for a better day and better civilization.

At the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB), we bear witness daily to the profound impact philanthropy is having at our six professional schools and interdisciplinary Graduate School. Community engagement is woven into the fabric of UMB and its partnerships, in West Baltimore and throughout our region and state. Each school is doing remarkable work worthy of these acts of time, treasure, and talent — from top-tier scholarship, research, clinical care, and entrepreneurship, to forward-thinking social justice, service, and other signifcant provisions.

Supplementing the state of Maryland’s generous but limited assistance, philanthropic investment from private and corporate sources provides an enormous measure of substance and elasticity — especially in these troubled times. Philanthropy is highly accessible and costefective, with a return on investment that traditionally is higher than 80 percent. To all of the individuals, businesses, foundations, and organizations that gave their time, treasure, and talent this past year, UMB extends its heartfelt gratitude. You propel us to continue living out UMB’s mission to improve the human condition and serve the public good.

Recent examples of signifcant charitable investment at UMB: } A $700,000 estate gift from Joan Meredith, BSN ’62, to the School of Nursing to add to the Janet D. Allan Endowed Scholarship honoring the school’s dean emeritus.

raise more than $50,000 to endow a new scholarship in memory of U.S. Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, JD ’76, who passed away in October 2019.

} $2.5 million from Howard S. Brown to establish the Thomas M. Scalea, MD, Endowed Distinguished Professorship of Trauma Surgery at the School of Medicine.

} A $500,000 unrestricted gift to the School of Dentistry from Charles Chen, DDS ’80, and $1.5 million in gifts from alumni donors and volunteers to endow the Alumni and Friends Professorship in Orthodontics.

} $1.4 million from Harvey Topper to establish the Harvey Topper Pediatric Surgery Research Fund at the School of Medicine. } The Center for Women in Pharmapreneurism was established at the School of Pharmacy through the generosity of Ellen H. Yankellow, BSP ’73, PharmD ’ 96; Jill Molofsky, BSP ’81; James Tristani, BSP ’73; and other generous supporters. } Led by its Board of Visitors, the Francis King Carey School of Law quickly mobilized to

} The Alicia and Yaya Foundation established the Alicia and Yaya Global Fellowship Program at the Graduate School to enhance global learning experiences, support innovation in global health, and foster relations between UMB and institutions in Costa Rica. } A planned gift of $400,000 from Arleen Rogan, PhD ’01, MSW ’87, and Julia Alibrando, MSW ’91, in support of the School of Social Work’s PhD program.
