AS WE TURN THE PAGE ON THE 2022–23 SCHOOL YEAR, I am reflecting on all that I learned in my first year as dean of the College of Arts and Humanities. I am proud to lead this college of artists, intellectuals, creators and critical thinkers who study the human experience with a focus on how we have evolved as diverse peoples and how we can advance the public good.

Now more than ever, the world needs the arts and humanities for their role in helping us to recognize our interdependence, act with empathy and create a more just and joyful world. People all across the United States, and indeed the world, are looking for models and best practices for how to respond to and solve the grand challenges of our time—threats to democracy, global inequality, climate change, health disparities, censorship, racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia and xenophobia, to name a few. ARHU is up to the challenge.

Our college uniquely and powerfully prepares students with the essential critical thinking, problem-solving, and creative and analytical skills that the world so desperately needs. We provide the context and insight that inform how people take action and feel seen and understood in the face of an uncertain future.

ARHU faculty are partnering with colleagues across campus on nine of the recently funded Grand Challenges projects on topics including racial and social justice, education, pandemic preparedness and ethical technologies. As a college, we are boldly and innovatively meshing our artistic strengths with science and technology fields

through the Arts for All initiative, and melding our humanities focus with business through the Frederick Douglass Center for Leadership Through the Humanities.

We know we must refine and repackage our academic offerings to raise enrollments in the arts and humanities. While we will continue to offer our excellent academic programs, we are also committed to creating new interdisciplinary ones. Our recently launched majors and minors, such as the humanities, health, and medicine minor, are already energizing students and providing new inspiration for career pathways that bridge industries. I want us to lean into the intentional act of partnering across our traditional academic silos to support this positive trend.

This year will bring further reflection and innovation to ensure we are adequately meeting the moment. Building on the university’s Fearlessly Forward strategic plan, which was rolled out in 2022, we are launching into a college strategic planning process to help us to reimagine learning, invest in people and communities, take on grand challenges and partner for the public good. I am excited to work with you on charting a positive future for ARHU.

Sincerely,

STUDENT EXCELLENCE

Students in the College of Arts and Humanities bring a range of backgrounds, interests and experiences to the classroom and larger campus community. Last year, 10 ARHU students won national scholarships and awards. Over 200 ARHU students studied abroad. Our graduates find success in jobs and graduate education (96% placement rate), and our alumni are making waves as artists, entrepreneurs, diplomats, archivists, journalists, entertainers, scholars, educators, lawyers, doctors and more.

Here are some of the highlights from the 2022–23 academic year:

Nine graduate students in the Department of Art History and Archaeology (Maura Callahan, Ashley Cope, Montia Daniels, Joohee Kim, Caroline Kipp, Cléa Massiani, Magdelena Mastrandrea, Dominic Pearson and Gabrielle Robinson-Tillenburg) developed and curated the David C. Driskell Center’s exhibition “RINGGOLD | SAAR: Meeting on the Matrix,” with support from Professor of American Art Jordana Moore Saggese and Driskell Center staff. The exhibition brought together print works by renowned Black women artists Faith Ringgold and Betye Saar for the first time, juxtaposing their different ways of approaching the Black experience in the United States. It received widespread recognition, with Forbes crediting the graduate students for “achieving what some never do in a lifetime.”

PUBLIC HUMANITIES AND PARTNERSHIPS

A multi-institution project based at UMD is focused on understanding and responding to inequities in oral health by reaching patients at public libraries. The two-year Narratives and Medical Education project, led by Michelle V. Moncrieffe, a lecturer in the English department, is placing predoctoral dental students and dental hygiene students at six libraries in California, Indiana, Iowa and Maryland to provide screenings and education along with students in English and professional writing who are using their skills to highlight the experiences of marginalized communities and seek to inform the public around issues of health access and disparities.

A $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation is supporting efforts by UMD researchers to develop sophisticated predictive models and best communication practices needed to combat future pandemics. The team, which includes Xiaoli Nan, a professor of communication, is crunching voluminous data from the current pandemic to build a seamless, end-toend network that considers complex and interdependent biological, environmental and human factors.

The Harriet Tubman Department of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies celebrated its third annual commemoration of Harriet Tubman Day on March 10, 2023.

Grand Challenges

In support of programs, initiatives and projects designed to impact enduring and emerging societal issues, the University of Maryland’s Grand Challenges Grants Program awarded $30 million in funding to 50 projects and 185 faculty members across every school and college on campus. Among them, ARHU faculty were the recipients of one Institutional Grant, three Impact Awards, four Team Project Grants and one Individual Project Grant.

ARTS FOR ALL

UMD’s Arts for All initiative partners the arts with the sciences, technology and other disciplines to develop new and reimagined curricular and experiential offerings that nurture different ways of thinking to spark dialogue, understanding, problem-solving and action. It bolsters a campuswide culture of creativity and innovation, making Maryland a national leader in leveraging the combined power of the arts, technology and social justice to collaboratively address grand challenges. And it seeks to build partnerships that foster creative and scholarly excellence between the campus and the community.

The Terrapin Community Music School (TCMS), based out of the School of Music, begins this fall with weekly programs. It builds on the success of the Hatchling Community Music Program, launched by the SOM last year to provide caregivers with ways to interact musically with their children. TCMS will also offer sophomores and juniors from Prince George’s County Public Schools low-cost, high-quality weekly one-on-one lessons, musicianship classes and group coaching.

The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and the UMD School of Music launched a groundbreaking partnership focused on community engagement programming, unique educational opportunities for students and the commissioning of new orchestral music. It marks a significant investment in the cultural and civic landscape of Prince George’s County, Maryland, and the future of orchestral performance.

A new minor in digital storytelling and poetics debuting this fall in the Department of English will empower students from a range of academic backgrounds to make and tell stories in digital and new media spaces.

As part of an effort to expand its reach into the community, the UMD Art Gallery loaned seven works from its permanent collection to the Capitol Hill office of U.S. Rep.

Bequests Make an Impact in History and Art

For FY23, the Maryland State Arts Council (MSAC) provided more than $680,000 in support of The Clarice’s performing arts programs that reach across campus and our local community. In addition to a grant awarded through their Grants for Organizations program, this year, MSAC’s support included a special round of Arts Relief funding, approved by the State of Maryland, with the aim of providing increased economic stability as the arts sector continued to navigate the effects of the COVID pandemic.

Jean Farrell’s in memoriam tribute to her late husband Richard Farrell will fund education and research for graduate students in the Department of History, continuing his legacy of inspiring and supporting students. Richard, a beloved associate professor of history, taught at UMD for almost 30 years.

Paula Santen ’58 discovered her love of art and design while pursuing a degree in home economics at the University of Maryland. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science, she went on to enjoy a varied and adventurous career—first as an interior designer and eventually in numerous retail management roles across the country. Santen has been a dedicated supporter of art students at the University of Maryland for many years, providing valuable resources for need-based scholarships. Recently, she committed to bequeath an additional $1,250,000 to establish three endowed funds for undergraduate and graduate art students, ensuring that “generations of future students will be able to pursue their educational passions with a reduced financial burden.” Santen said she loves to learn about the amazing work of UMD art students and enjoys receiving notes and letters from those she’s supported. “I’m sure they’ll all go on to do absolutely wonderful things,” she said, “and that is very rewarding.”
