Challenge Gift Inspires Community to Go Beyond for Students

In 2021, Julie ’69 and Paul BenSusan decided to go beyond their traditional giving to make a greater impact. They committed $50,000 to match donor gifts to the Notre Dame Fund, which supports NDMU’s greatest needs. Their challenge gift initiative

launched on Giving Tuesday 2021 and ended with NDMU Giving Day 2022. Donors answered the call, giving $109,873 to more than double the challenge match.

Ultimately, the challenge gift initiative helped lift the Notre Dame Fund to its highest-ever giving total in a single fiscal year at $1.1 million. Growing support for the Notre Dame Fund is one of the priorities for the Go Beyond campaign.

β€œThe school truly helped shape my character and prepared me for a series of great careers,” Julie said. β€œWe all have opportunities to lead by example, take a stand for the right thing, and exercise personal courage. These seemingly routine acts are part of the fabric of society and my personal time on this earth. That is what Notre Dame taught me.”

INSPIRING STEM & INNOVATIONHEALTHCARE

INNOVATION

TAKES COURAGE. PIONEERING NEW TECHNOLOGIES, DEVELOPING EFFECTIVE VACCINES, OR FINDING CURES FOR RARE DISEASES REQUIRES FEARLESSNESS TO OVERCOME THE CHALLENGES THAT LIE AHEAD.

From its earliest beginnings, Notre Dame of Maryland University has excelled at educating students with a solid foundation in the liberal arts, with a focus on making a positive impact in the world. On that bedrock of education fundamentals, the University has continued to add degree programs to prepare students for STEM and healthcare careers. NDMU has become a leader in STEM and healthcare innovation with programs in the sciences, computer information systems, nursing, pharmacy, and occupational therapy.

The need for STEM innovators and compassionate healthcare leaders is stronger than ever before. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics expects STEM careers to grow more than two times faster than all other occupations in the next decade. In September 2021, the American Nurses Association called the nursing shortage a national crisis. An August 2022 survey by the National Community Pharmacists Association shows that community pharmacies struggle to fill open positions, which leads to longer wait times for patients.

Today’s leaders must use data to make decisions that will impact tomorrow. STEM and healthcare innovation will continue to power our everyday lives. NDMU is well positioned to meet that need by tackling the biggest challenges, creating a pipeline for new students entering these professions, and elevating student achievements in research.

TACKLING THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES

NDMU is blazing a trail in STEM research innovation with the recent addition of endowed chair positions in nursing and biology, advancing groundbreaking research and scholarship in STEM and healthcare.

Dr. Tina Bloom is the inaugural Frances Kay Pitts ’96 Endowed Chair for Nursing Leadership in Women and Children’s Health, positioning NDMU to address the most pressing needs in nursing. Her collaborative research with the Boromarajonani College of Nursing Khon Kaen in Thailand is making it possible for victims of domestic violence to have a mobile app to protect themselves and their families, especially in planning to leave their abuser.

β€œThe work that we have been able to achieve through this partnership will enable those experiencing domestic violence to accurately assess their safety using best practice tools that will help them make decisions to protect themselves and their families,” said Dr.

Bloom. β€œThe endowed chair position is making it possible for this pivotal work to continue and expand.”

As part of the Go Beyond campaign, NDMU received $1.5 million in private funding to establish the Dr. Mary Kay Shartle Galotto ’64 Endowed Chair in the Biological Sciences. Named in honor of one of Notre Dame’s most distinguished alumnae, the endowed chair will provide additional support for a talented scientist to collaborate with NDMU undergraduate students and faculty on interdisciplinary research needed to solve complex global challenges, strengthening NDMU's leadership position in STEM education.

NDMU is leading the way in preparing the next generation of scientists and healthcare leaders with the $9 million renovation of the Knott Science Center. The renovation will create innovative learning and collaborative spaces to support the needs of 21st century STEM students and promote a project-based, experiential approach to teaching and

learning. In September 2022, the NDMU community joined with state and local officials and supporters to celebrate.

The renovation, set to be completed in 2023, will create glass-walled classrooms and labs to display science in action, a data analytics lab, instructional spaces for student-faculty collaboration, specialized research labs, and flexible group learning spaces. The University has a long history of championing STEM innovation, and has produced graduates who excel at the highest levels in their professions. The renovation serves to strengthen that commitment.

β€œIt is exciting to see how the support of so many of our community members is enhancing the learning environment for our students,” said President Yam. β€œThe renovated Knott Science Center will become a hub of science and healthcare innovation for years to come, and it will attract more students who want to use their skills and knowledge to transform the world.”

INSPIRING STEM AND HEALTHCARE INNOVATION 12 | Universitas 2021–22

CREATING A PIPELINE OF INNOVATORS

Strengthening the pipeline of students who choose STEM careers requires strategic investments in scholarships and other financial support designed to expand access to higher education. NDMU’s new $172,500 grant from the Henry Luce Foundation does just that.

The grant for the Clare Boothe Luce Program for Women in STEM provides scholarships to cover the full tuition, fees, and books from fall 2022 through spring 2024 for two students with promising futures in STEM careers. Those scholarships are making it possible for the juniors to continue their education at NDMU and receive additional support to achieve realize their full potential.

Nadia Abi ’24 and Erika Gutierrez ’24 were selected based on their potential for academic success, financial need, and leadership involvement. They receive specialized wrap-around academic and career support, including seminars with industry mentors and workshops to explore their future in STEM.

The scholars will also engage in research with faculty mentors and present their work at both off-campus conferences and NDMU’s annual Nancy Kreiter Research Day.

β€œThe Henry Luce Foundation’s support for the scholarship will help NDMU continue to expand our STEM programs to more students,” said President Yam. β€œThe Clare Boothe Luce Program for Women in STEM will provide the financial support needed to help students achieve success in higher education and their careers.”

In addition to investments supporting tomorrow’s STEM innovators, NDMU has provided students, especially undergraduates, with opportunities to engage in research. Undergraduate students who engage in research gain a lot of benefits, from developing analytical skills to defining their academic and career interests. They also deepen their knowledge in a particular field and build valuable connections with other students and faculty.

Associate professor Jennifer Kerr engages students in her microbiology course in a semester-long independent research project. They receive hands-on experience conducting in small groups and presenting their findings in a student research symposium. The students do everything: posing a research question, designing how to test that question, following through with experimentation, and presenting their work in a poster session.

β€œOne objective of this class is to help students practice how to talk about their science to people outside the field,” said Dr. Kerr. β€œI emphasize that they will need this important skill to help them in their career, but also in speaking with friends and family.”

Not only do students learn lab-like sterile techniques, but they also learn how to tackle complex problems using the scientific method.

β€œI really think it’s invaluable. It allows us to go ahead and get our hands dirty so to speak,” said Alanna Anderson ’24. β€œIt was very independent on our part, which is helpful especially as we graduate and get into our careers. If we’re pursuing careers in STEM, we want to have some experience under our belt.”

Universitas 2021–22 | 13
INSPIRING STEM AND HEALTHCARE INNOVATION

Anderson began the semester wanting to focus on a prepharmacy track, but the research experience in microbiology has opened her eyes to explore other careers options in STEM.

β€œI love medicine, but taking this microbiology course has opened my eyes to the number of bacteria that are everywhere. This has really enlightened me to know more about just how the Earth works,” she said.

Victoria Wong ’24 learned how accepting failure is a big part of the scientific process. She also gained a lot from having the responsibility of planning and executing an independent research project, a first-time experience for her.

β€œIt was really interesting to influence my own learning, instead of having just a structured lab,” Wong said. β€œHaving to plan the entire project by yourself – you have help, but you’re determining the structure. You’re the one taking charge, so it forces you to think critically.”

For Rojeena Thapa ’23, the research course helped her gain new insights about her career interests and passion. She has always loved medicine, but now she wants to pursue a career as a data analyst in healthcare.

β€œThis has been a great semester for me with the research project, because it really helped all of the students to have this hands-on training that we do not get in a theoretical class,” she said. β€œIn the real world, you will definitely need this kind of experience. As science students, we cannot just go into our careers with only theoretical knowledge.”

Eliana Coffey ’23 found that her experience in the course strengthened her resolve to pursue graduate study in health policy. It also helped her understand the work required to investigate a problem through a research project.

β€œIn the future, I will definitely appreciate that someone worked hard for me to use this data in order to improve someone else’s life,” she said.

Developing the innovators of tomorrow requires investment in how students learn today. Modernizing facilities, developing high-impact teaching methods, and launching scholarships to increase higher education access are all part of how Notre Dame is creating a learning environment that fosters student success in STEM and healthcare studies.

SCHOOL OF PHARMACY LEADS THE WAY IN DIABETES EDUCATION

Ashley Moody, associate professor of clinical & administrative sciences, and Dr. Matthew Shimoda, interim dean, were both involved in that process.

The second grant gave increased responsibility to the School of Pharmacy. Notre Dame worked toward accreditation, with the ultimate goal of partnering with other pharmacies and health care entities under that accreditation to further expand access to diabetes education. Seven additional DSMES sites have now been created, operating under NDMU supervision and support.

β€œWe’ve built into our model that students are going to be an integral part of the process,” Dr. Shimoda said. β€œIt’s great that they get to see that pharmacists and pharmacies can do something like this. Not just dispensing a medication and educating patients about that, but truly becoming part of the dynamic of managing their health.”

NDMU’s School of Pharmacy has become a national leader in developing a model to increase diabetes education across the region. The school was awarded a pair of grants, totaling $96,000, to implement Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) Umbrella Hubs.

This first involved NDMU working with local pharmacies to get them accredited and set up to educate patients about their diabetes using the School of Pharmacy’s curriculum. Dr.

For Neysa Rios D’22, the emphasis on social responsibility was on display during pharmacy rotations in Washington, DC, and Maryland, where she gained first-hand experience assisting patients with diabetes self-management programs.

β€œThese grants gave me a great opportunity to learn in a community setting,” Rios said. β€œI saw how a certified diabetes educator can help patients make healthy decisions and manage any problems they encounter along the way.”

NDMU DRAMA AND ART STUDENTS RECREATE ARCHIVAL PHOTOS

To commemorate Notre Dame’s first staging of the Shakespeare comedy, β€œAs You Like It,” in nearly a century, photography students teamed up with NDMU Drama students to reimagine archival images from that production and others for a digital gallery.

Photography students took a β€œthen and now” approach to repeat the older photos in a process called rephotography. Students from the 2022 cast of β€œAs You Like It” served as models.

NDMU Drama’s revival of β€œAs You Like It,” first produced on campus in 1923, took a modern approach to a timeless comedy,

with contemporary elements in music, costumes, and casting. Both the NDMU Drama production and rephotography project celebrated the thriving arts community that has been a vital part of Notre Dame’s campus life.

β€œOur goal with the project was to share these archived photos with the community because they were just in a box on the third floor of the library,” said Dr. Kate Bossert, NDMU Drama coordinator and associate professor of English. β€œIt’s so remarkable how modern they look. They tell an amazing story of the work these students did and the work our students are continuing.”

Service Sorority Has International Reach

β€œOne of our members during my first year, Sarah Urie, was going to India to help out at a school,” said Circosta, OPA’s 2021-22 president. β€œShe had the original idea of making the bracelets and handing them out to her students. Whenever someone asks me about OPA, I tell them that was my favorite project because it’s crazy how I impacted people halfway across the world.”

Professor Geoff Delanoy, chair of the Art Department, jumped at the chance to collaborate with NDMU Drama and engage his students in reimagining the archived images with a modern lens. β€œThis kind of experience, stepping outside of their comfort zones and practicing with their peers, makes them more fluent as creatives.”

Art therapy major Sophie Rotmark ’23 felt inspired to examine Notre Dame’s past. β€œIt’s great to be part of the school’s history and recreate these photos from so long ago. Maybe 50 years from now, someone will see the photos we took today.”

That was just one of several activities conducted in the fall by the sorority. They also collected almost 10 pounds of pop tags to support Ronald McDonald House Charities and raised over $1,300 through participation in the St. Jude Walk/Run and a 5K for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

When Francesca Circosta ’22 was a freshman, making friendship bracelets for students in India was one of her most memorable experiences during her first year with Omega Phi Alpha, NDMU’s service sorority. Three years later, she replicated the project to conclude a memorable fall semester for the organization.

Treasurer Catherine Garcia ’22 came up with the plan. She has family in El Salvador, including an aunt and uncle who work at a local school. After OPA members braided the bracelets at the end of the fall semester, Garcia delivered them while on winter break.

β€œIt’s just really important for us to give back, and you don’t realize how fun it can be,” Circosta commented. β€œThat’s one of the first things we always tell new members and people that are interested. It doesn’t feel like work when you’re doing it with a great bunch of people.”

STRENGTHENING OUR BONDS,

Whether they are preparing food baskets for homeless families, celebrating the Morrissy Honors Program’s legacy, or catching an Orioles game, alumni from around the country have been connecting with each other in meaningful ways. The bonds alumni share remain strong through the years, and staying involved through the Alumni Engagement Office ensures their connection to NDMU.

During National Volunteer Week in April 2022, alumni came together for several hours to beautify a park in Baltimore and pack food baskets for families in need for the inaugural NDMU Day of Service. Alumni volunteers showed off their NDMU pride and their connection to the University’s mission, while serving their communities.

Alumni from the last four decades returned to campus in April 2022 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Morrissy Honors Program. Current and former Morrissy faculty and staff reconnected with alumni and current students to honor the significant impact of the program in shaping the student experience at Notre Dame.

In recognizing NDMU’s newest alumni, the Alumni Engagement Office partnered with Student Life to host 100 Nights, Senior Brunch, and Photos in the Tower atop Caroline Hall. Graduating seniors followed the tradition of generations of Notre Dame women in celebrating their graduation with an unforgettable sendoff from their alma mater.

ROLE MODEL FOR THE NEXT GENERATION

Veronica β€œRonne” Hackett ’67 has long been a pioneer for women in the real estate industry. The latest award in a storied career highlights her efforts to ensure that the next generation of leaders includes a greater number of women and other underrepresented groups at the decision-making table.

Hackett was the 2022 recipient of the Urban Land Institute New York’s Visionary Leadership in Land Use Award, an honor which is presented to those who have had a transformational impact on the region and industry while also demonstrating an enduring commitment to civic engagement.

The co-founder and CEO of The Clarett Group, which is best known for developing ground-up high-rise residential projects in New York, and a former development head for two other companies – Brookfield and Park Tower – Hackett is firmly established as one of the nation’s top executives in real estate. A career full of major initiatives includes several international development projects and spearheading the revitalization of Times Square. Hackett, though, prefers to focus on her overall body of work while expressing gratitude for her fellow team members, whose collaborative support was essential to help bring projects to completion.

Equally important to Hackett are her efforts to increase female representation in leadership positions at all industries. She is a founder and board member of ULI New York’s Women’s Leadership Initiative, and she has been a board member or advocate for numerous other organizations, including NDMU’s Women’s Leadership Institute of Baltimore, Paradigm for Parity, and Girls Inc.

β€œI share ULI New York’s prestigious Visionary Leadership Award with all the women who have come together over many decades to support each other and advance the evolution of leadership

roles within ULI and the real estate industry as a whole,” Hackett said. β€œIt is especially gratifying to see the next generation of leaders take up the mantle of equity, to continue the important work of building a new, diverse generation of leaders.”

Hackett’s ties to Notre Dame were established well before she enrolled at the institution. Her grandmother, Genevieve Watson Johnson '14, and her mother, Alice Marie Johnson Walker '43, graduated from Notre Dame. A Meletia-level supporter of the University for over three decades, Hackett has maintained a close connection with Notre Dame in the years after her own graduation. She received the Elizabeth P. Hoisington Distinguished Alumna Award in 1992, and she was the 2020 recipient of Notre Dame’s Service to Society Award.

Hackett knew from a young age that she wanted to excel in whatever path she chose, and she credits her time at Notre Dame with helping her develop the leadership skills needed to reach the top of her profession.

β€œI loved the environment at Notre Dame,” she reflected. β€œIt was very warm and encouraging, and we had so many leadership opportunities. I can’t think of a single course where I wasn’t inspired by the professor and my classmates.

RECENT DUAL-DEGREE GRAD EXCELS

Lesly Mendoza '21 developed an interest in a career in science at a young age.

β€œGrowing up, I would always help my dad when he was doing small projects or working on cars as a hobby,” Mendoza said. β€œMy family is Mexican, and our culture is sometimes known for having gender roles, but my dad always made me feel like I could do anything. That was definitely beneficial, and it for sure impacted my decision to go into engineering.”

A strong support system can be crucial in a country where women made up just 27 percent of all STEM workers in 2019, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Raising that number has been a priority throughout NDMU’s history, with Mendoza just one example of that work continuing today.

Mendoza finished her physics coursework at NDMU in 2019, and she would officially graduate two years later after completing her dual degree in electrical engineering at Columbia University.

PUBLISHED AFTER A 30-YEAR WAIT

Lee-Ann Liles ’06 was featured in The Royal Gazette, the only daily newspaper in her home country of Bermuda, for two of her recent publications, one of which made it to print 30 years after it was originally written.

β€œThis is What We Call Home” is a collection of 64 poems written largely when Liles was in high school. The book was originally accepted for publication by a subsidy publisher when Liles was 18-years old, and she decided to finally finish the process after receiving her MFA in creative nonfiction writing. Her latest work, β€œThe Hunger,” was highlighted by The Royal Gazette in June.

She now works as an electronics engineer at MKS Instruments in Rochester, New York, and she recently began working towards a master’s degree in applied physics through Johns Hopkins’ Engineering for Professionals program to keep her options open for future career growth.

Mendoza credits a wide variety of opportunities available outside the classroom which would later catch the eye of her future employers.

β€œA lot of companies are very intrigued by different types of internships that aren’t necessarily engineering focused,” she said. β€œI was able to work at the Maryland Science Center, I was able to work with and mentor high school students, I had several experiences different than what you would typically see on a resume.”

Liles has now had four books published, with the first influenced by her time at Notre Dame.

β€œOne of my professors, Mary Elizabeth Pope, was always a mentor for me,” Liles said. β€œI received the Peggy Miles Award for Tutorial in Writing at Notre Dame, and she worked closely with me on the essay for that which became the title for my first book.”

β€œAerie: Short Stories” was published in 2016. Liles, who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in English, remains close with her creative nonfiction writing cohort.

β€œMany of my top memories at Notre Dame took place on the fifth floor of Gibbons,” she said. β€œThe English Department had a room where 8 to 12 of us would meet to go over our writing and just spend time together. It was an awesome experience.”

NURSING GRAD NAMED ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

Jennifer Dickensheets '20 had always planned on a career in healthcare, with an initial goal of becoming a pediatrician. When a family member was admitted to the hospital years ago, however, the resulting experience shifted her focus to nursing.

β€œI saw how the hospitals really worked,” she said. β€œThe nurses are the ones doing the hands-on work and seeing the patients face-to-face all day and that’s what I wanted to do, so I changed career paths.

Having already received a bachelor’s degree, Dickensheets was drawn to the Accelerated 2nd Degree Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) at NDMU, and she would ultimately graduate as a member of Notre Dame’s first ABSN cohort.

After first working at MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital in Baltimore as a nurse extern, Dickensheets became a full-time registered nurse in the MedSurg Telemetry unit in October 2020, and she was honored as the hospital’s Rookie of the Year the following May.

β€œIt was quite a surprise and made me feel like I was really appreciated as a part of the team,” she said. β€œIt definitely keeps me on my feet because now I feel like I have to live up to it.”

Dickensheets credits her time at NDMU with developing the skills needed to succeed in her profession, both from a medical and social prospective.

”Notre Dame gave me a ton of clinical knowledge and managed to somehow do so in a way that I still remember it very well,” she said. β€œBut the two biggest things I appreciate from my time at Notre Dame are the people and colleagues that I met and the focus on compassion."

ADVOCATE FOR HER PROFESSION

When Dr. Reem Abdullah D’16 first arrived in the United States with her two young daughters as an Iraqi refugee in 2009, she had a clear goal in mind.

The prospect of starting a new life in a foreign country might have seemed daunting, but Dr. Abdullah was focused on putting herself into a position to help others. Her priority in life was to provide medical assistance to those who needed it the most, and the School Sisters of Notre Dame (SSNDs) and NDMU both played a key role in helping put that goal in motion.

Dr. Abdullah’s first experience with the SSNDs was through the Caroline Center, a nonprofit workforce development organization serving women in Baltimore. She enrolled in the Caroline Center’s pharmacy technician program shortly after entering the country, starting a process which would ultimately lead her to NDMU. After graduating from the School of Pharmacy in 2016, Dr. Abdullah now works as a clinical pharmacist for both the Baltimore Convention Center Field Hospital (BCCFH) Task Force and Mercy Medical Center, while adding additional assistance to the community as a retail pharmacist at Giant.

Dr. Abdullah’s time at the Caroline Center gave her the educational and practical skills needed to succeed as a technician. It also served as her first introduction to NDMU, and when she had completed all of the education requirements needed to enroll in a Pharm.D. program she was immediately drawn to Notre Dame’s School of Pharmacy.

β€œNotre Dame’s mission and vision fit with my goals,” Dr. Abdullah said. β€œMy main focus is public health, and I saw firsthand the innovative ways that Notre Dame was giving back to the local community. They don’t just prepare you to become a successful pharmacist: they are setting you up to use those skills to benefit society.”

In recent years, Dr. Abdullah’s primary efforts to give back to the Baltimore community have focused on the COVID-19 pandemic. She received some of the earliest COVID patients in her role as a clinical pharmacist at Mercy, and she added a new position on the frontline when the BCCFH opened downtown in March 2020. When the hospital at the Convention Center closed in June 2021, Dr. Abdullah joined the newly formed BCCFH COVID Task Force to continue the ambulatory missions of vaccinating, testing and providing outpatient treatment of COVID-19 infections.

Dr. Abdullah hopes to continue breaking new ground as an advocate for her profession, encouraging pharmacists to expand their influence in healthcare.

β€œThere are so many things that pharmacists can do, and we’ve shown that during the pandemic,” she said. β€œMost of the vaccinations done in Baltimore were performed by pharmacists. I want to pave the way for pharmacists to have more of a role in public health. We have the knowledge – it’s just a matter of applying the knowledge. That, of course, is also dependent on your skills, and that’s when the quality of the pharmacy program comes into play.”

BALTIMORE COUNTY TEACHER OF THE YEAR

Alicia Amaral Freeman M'08, a graduate of Notre Dame’s Master of Arts in TESOL program, was named the 2022-23 Teacher of the Year for Baltimore County. There were 159 initial Teacher of the Year nominees for the county, which has over 9,000 educators and is among the nation’s largest school systems.

β€œIt was shocking,” Freeman said. β€œIt wasn’t something I was expecting, but it feels amazing to be recognized. I’m really looking forward to using this platform to advocate not just for ESOL students and teachers, but for all teachers.”

With the recognition, Freeman became eligible to be chosen as the overall Maryland Teacher of the Year, and she was ultimately one of seven finalists considered for that honor. Freeman is primarily an ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) teacher at Franklin Elementary School in Reisterstown. She also assists at Reisterstown Elementary and the Chatsworth School, working daily with students from several different language backgrounds.

For many of her younger students, the focus is primarily on verbal language learning techniques, while older learners are more likely to add in writing and reading lessons based on their

proficiency levels. In addition to providing services to students, Freeman is often a valuable resource for their parents, whether it is running workshops to introduce them to the U.S. school system or helping them access a variety of resources, including adult ESOL classes.

Freeman grew up near Notre Dame, visiting campus to go sledding during her younger years, and that familiarity was one of the factors which led her to enroll in the School of Education’s TESOL program.

β€œIt was a wonderful experience,” she said of her time at NDMU. β€œIt gave me the foundation of teaching strategies, language learning and understanding, and it connected me with a vast network of people. I had some amazing professors – I wouldn’t be where I am today without them.”

STEM EDUCATORS Inspire NEXT-GENERATION INNOVATORS

My passion for STEM education and its power to inspire innovation runs deep. As a little girl, I always enjoyed investigating and exploring. I was fortunate to spend a lot of time in the mountains of New Hampshire, where my grandparents had a summer home located on an old volcanic site. There were so many interesting things to see and learn about.

In high school, my curiosity was kept alive when I received an Earthwatch expedition scholarship to study flora and fauna in the Shenandoah Valley. Later, I earned a bachelor’s degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Biology from the University of Vermont, became an instructor for the Overnight Program at the Boston Museum of Science, and facilitated the museum’s Engineering is Elementary program. My passion grows each time I witness the impact STEM education has on students of all ages. Their excitement in trying to figure out a problem or a better solution is contagious. All young people should have experiential STEM education that opens their minds to what is possible in their future.

That is why I jumped at the opportunity to join the School of Education faculty in 2012 to help shape NDMU’s new Leadership in Teaching: STEM master’s program. NDMU’s program is one of the region’s best in preparing certified teachers to become excellent STEM educators and develop the next generation of innovators and creators.

THE FINAL WORD

Authentic Experiences with a Transdisciplinary Approach

Throughout my education, I valued my hands-on experiences and opportunities to participate in science discovery. Thinking about how science informed different technologies was a revelation to me and made connections between what I was doing as a student and real-life, authentic experiences.

When I was hired at NDMU, the STEM degree program was in its first year. After receiving feedback from a couple cohorts, I led the effort to adjust the curriculum to better meet student needs. The redesigned courses provided students with numerous opportunities to network and explore the different options available to them in the community.

For example, in the Application of Engineering Design course, students work with a variety of partners to solve local problems and present their proposed solutions. Some examples include working with the Department of Natural Resources to address shoreline erosion, the National Aquarium to tackle trash pollution, and the Maryland Department of Health to combat heat islands in Baltimore.

Today we offer many courses, like the Application of Engineering Design, that other institutions do not. We integrate STEM content areas and standards, so that our graduates know how to teach in a connected and transdisciplinary way, instead of in silos. Students leave understanding the β€œso what” behind why they are teaching something and how to make it meaningful to their students. They get to practice what they are learning on multiple levels and receive feedback and support from dedicated professionals.

NDMU as a Community Partner

As the program expanded, we added a summer STEM Camp for students from kindergarten through 10th grade and became an inaugural member of the annual Maryland STEM Festival in 2015, continuing that partnership today. By hosting these events, the community gets a look into what we are doing to empower our youth to become critical thinkers.

We continue to work with community partners such as BmoreSTEM, a group of organizations and individuals committed to developing STEM-related opportunities in Baltimore. NDMU has participated in an Alternative Spring Break workgroup, which creates a program for STEM majors from local colleges and universities to volunteer in K-12 STEM classes during spring break and learn about teaching careers.

Our new $400,000 grant from the Maryland Emergency Education Relief program is providing 100 educators at a local school with new Macbooks, additional STEM materials, and professional development. Two $50,000 grants we received from the Maryland Center for Computing Education are helping Catholic school educators to take two graduate courses tuitionfree toward our Leadership in Teaching: STEM certificate. In addition, ten teachers at our local partner school earn three graduate credits for professional development. Credits from the Leadership in Teaching: STEM certificate can be applied to the master’s degree, which adds a state STEM endorsement to their teaching license.

We are inviting the community into the program, with the hopes that we will inspire youth to become interested in STEM careers and pursue higher education either here at NDMU or elsewhere. We want to be seen as part of the Baltimore community.

Diverse Educators Needed to Solve Global Challenges

The Leadership in Teaching: STEM program joined the 100kin10 campaign, making us a national leader in the commitment to add 100,000 excellent STEM teachers to America’s classrooms. In addition, current and former faculty, along with a graduate of our STEM program, were selected to be part of a highly competitive group working with the Smithsonian Science Education Center on the Zero Barriers in STEM Education project, focusing on creating ways to make STEM education inclusive and accessible to all students.

The global community faces so many challenges, including climate change concerns such as increasing temperatures, rising sea levels, more frequent and devastating fires, and other natural disasters. We need to prepare future leaders and thinkers to develop new ways to combat these issues. The proportion of STEM degrees among all college graduates has been decreasing for the past decade, and without some sort of intervention it is likely that it will continue to decline.

The number of underrepresented populations in STEM is still minimal, although the number of individuals attending college in these populations is increasing. We need to focus on attracting more STEM educators who look like the population they teach, in order to build relationships with youth and encourage them to pursue education in STEM.

That is why the Leadership in Teaching: STEM program and our community outreach is so critical in these times. Our wrap-around approach to addressing the need for more STEM educators and strengthening the pipeline for diverse STEM professionals is more critical now than ever before.

Dr. Juliann Dupuis serves as associate professor of science education and associate dean of the School of Education. She helped develop the Leadership in Teaching STEM master’s program and teaches many of its courses. She founded the NDMU STEM Camp and leads the University’s participation in the Maryland STEM Festival. She is an advisory board member for the Maryland Association for Environmental and Outdoor Education (MAEOE). She is the associate editor for the Science Activities journal and helped develop the Maryland State STEM Standards of Practice Framework.
