Bell to serve on educators’ advisory panel UMES President Juliette B. Bell recently completed orientation training to become a member of the governing board for the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education.

The Washington, D.C. based organization invited Bell to join its 27member board of directors this past fall. Her three-year term officially started earlier this month.

“Developing a highly qualified, diverse cadre of teachers is critical to our nation’s future,” Bell said. “I am happy to participate as a member of the AACTE Board of Directors in advocating for and building capacity for high quality educator preparation programs.”

The association “is a national alliance of educator preparation programs (at 800 institutions) dedicated to the highest quality professional development of teachers and school leaders … to enhance PK-12 student learning.”

“You were selected to one of three seats reserved for presidents or provosts,” wrote Lucille Berrier, the association’s program coordinator,

“based on your dedication to education and your commitment to the field.”

Bell, the first in her immediate family to earn a college degree, began her career in education as a biochemistry professor before shifting into higher education administration.

Educator training is a legacy academic program at UMES. One of the motivations behind the institution’s founding in 1886 was to educate African-Americans to be teachers.

Today, the university trains not only classroom teachers, but administrators as well.

According to Berrier, Bell and other board members are asked to “provide oversight and accountability for (the association’s) programs and initiatives; monitor (its) financial status; and guide AACTE’s representation of the field through convening activities, advocacy and professional development.

The association invited Bell to join because it “would benefit from your insight and guidance on a host of issues including providing a unified voice for the profession at the national and state levels, developing the education workforce, and strengthening the programs of our member institutions,” Berrier’s letter to Bell says.

“As a board member,” she wrote, “you would have significant leadership and service opportunities to affect the work and goals of AACTE.” The board meets twice annually, once in the spring and again each fall.

Mark your calendars June 10-11 for the 2014 edition of the Art Shell UMES Celebrity Golf Classic and Junior Tournament at Great Hope Golf Course in Westover, Md. As in past events, Art Shell, a pro football Hall-of-Famer and UMES alumnus, enlists the help of gridiron and golf greats to participate in the event, which raises scholarship funds for the university’s Athletic and PGA-accredited Professional Golf Management programs. Celebrity and local golfers tee it off at 8 a.m., June 11.

UMES is one of 19 colleges in the nation with the PGA-sanctioned major, and the only one at a historically black institution. Students in the program not only hone their golf game, they also learn the business and marketing skills needed in the industry.

A junior tournament was introduced in 2010 to compliment the Art Shell Golf Classic as a way “to introduce them to the course of study at the university and to demonstrate that UMES is serious about getting more youth involved in the sport,” tournament director Marshall Cropper said. Cropper, who also serves as

UMES’ Golf Academy director and men’s golf coach, and former player for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Redskins, said he is looking toward another successful year for the event.

Registration is now open for the Art Shell UMES Celebrity Golf Classic. Player registration is $200 per person and $750 for a foursome and includes 18 holes of golf with a celebrity, a pregame mixer, food and beverages on the course, an awards dinner and commemorative gifts.

Not a golfer, but want to come for some great food and to meet some of the celebrities?

Admission for the pre-game mixer only is $50 per person or $500 for a table of eight.

Shell said he’s proud to be a UMES alumnus and enjoys being the host for the fundraising event benefiting students, who for many, are the first in their families to attend college.

Visit www.umes.edu, call 410-651-8045 or email ArtShellGolfClassic@umes.edu to register or for more information. A variety of sponsorship opportunities also are available.

UMES president named to Top 100 Women in Maryland Dr. Juliette B. Bell, UMES’ president, has been named to The Daily Record’s 2014 list of Maryland’s Top 100 Women.

For the past 18 years, the newspaper has recognized, “…100 amazing leaders for stellar achievements in their careers, for their exemplary citizenship and for encouraging and shaping the lives of a younger generation through mentoring,” said Suzanne FischerHuettner, publisher of The Daily Record.

Bell was selected among 370 women nominated for the statewide honor.

“I strive every day to be a role model and mentor to the next generation of young leaders for our state and nation. I am humbled to be counted among this stellar group of phenomenal women leaders,” Bell said.

A panel of judges comprised of business professionals and past Maryland’s Top 100 Women winners from throughout Maryland reviewed applications and chose this year’s honorees.

Bell, the 15th leader and fourth woman to hold the top post at the 4,200student institution in Princess Anne, Md., took office July 1, 2012. Like half the graduates at UMES, she was the first in her immediate family to earn a college degree.

Bell holds a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Talladega College in her Alabama hometown and a doctorate in chemistry from Atlanta University (now Clark-Atlanta University). She is widely recognized for encouraging students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics— known collectively as the STEM disciplines. She has trained and mentored hundreds of students who have gone on to earn advanced degrees and pursue successful careers in STEM. Her career as a researcher and educator spans more than two decades.

Following a stint as a researcher at the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences, Bell served as a chemistry professor, biomedical research director and founding dean of the College of Basic and Applied Sciences at Fayetteville State University. She advanced there to provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs.

Bell also held leadership roles at Winston-Salem State (NC) and Central

State (OH) universities. As chief academic officer at Central State, she restructured the academic college to create the College of Science and Engineering.

As president of UMES, Bell has provided leadership to identify niche areas and to elevate the university through her mantra, “From Excellence to Eminence.” Bell is also active in statewide and national leadership. She currently serves as chair of the Council of 1890 Land Grant Universities, is a member of the executive board of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities Millennium Leadership Institute, and on numerous local and state boards and councils.

The Top 100 Women in Maryland awards will be presented during a reception May 5 at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore. Winners will be profiled in a special magazine insert in the May 9 issue of The Daily Record and available online at www.TheDailyRecord.com.

Clarkson steps into role of Miss UMES The Office of Campus Life announced earlier this month that Samantha Sharon Clarkson, 21, of Upper Marlboro, Md., has transitioned from the role of Miss Senior to that of Miss University of Maryland Eastern Shore. The seat of Miss Senior (class) will remain vacant for the remainder of the spring term.

The move follows the resignation of Porsha Simone Harvey, 21, of Newark, Del., as Miss UMES on February 26. Harvey relinquished her title after deciding personal distractions made her unable to carry out her responsibilities, said Dr. Anthony Jenkins, vice president for student affairs and enrollment management.

“I feel proud to have received this position and I am excited to finish out the rest of the semester serving UMES,” Clarkson said.

Student Government Association President Justin Thompson said Clarkson assumed the role of Miss UMES according to the organization’s constitution.

Clarkson was named the 2012-13 Miss Krimson and Kreme, an honor of Kappa Alpha Psi. She is currently a member of UMES’ Bazaar Models Entertainment and the National Society of Leadership and Success.

A rehabilitation psychology major, Clarkson plans to attend Howard University to pursue a master’s degree in occupational therapy. Her career goal is to work with children with disabilities.

UMES hosts three jazz concerts

A sunny March day inspired Reginald Williams, a senior from Forth Washington, to share an original saxophone composition with passersby outside UMES’ Fitzgerald Center. Williams will be among the musicians performing in the Big Band Bash and the Jazz Ensemble concerts in April.

In celebration of April’s designation as Jazz Appreciation Month, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore’s Ella Fitzgerald Center for the Performing Arts will be jamming with three jazz events in one weekend; April 11-13.

The main event, the Big Band Bash, takes place on Saturday at 5 p.m.

Ensembles from Bowie and Morgan state universities along with UMES will gather on one stage to perform music from some of the greats—Charlie Mingus, Duke Ellington, Frank Foster and Count Basie. Each band will play a half-hour set and combine for the finale.

“These are some of the most talented young, up-and-coming jazz musicians in Maryland,” said Brian Perez, director of the UMES jazz ensemble and combo. “They will all be in the same place for one night, so be sure not to miss this opportunity.”

A 7 p.m. concert on Friday showcases UMES’ music program with performances by the university’s Jazz Ensemble along with the Jazz Combo.

Alumni return Sunday to perform at 4 p.m. under the direction of Perez and alumni Mercury Morris and Patrick McHenry.

“We hope the community will come out to enjoy one or more of the concerts,” Perez said. “It’s a great opportunity to appreciate one of America’s original art forms.”

The concerts are free. Call 410-651-6571 for more information.

Scholar-athletes vie for Arthur Ashe awards Three UMES scholar-athletes are on the invitation list for the 2014 Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholars Symposium and Awards luncheon April 10 in Washington.

Junior Ishaq Pitt of Brooklyn N.Y., a guard on the men’s basketball team, is one of three finalists for “male athlete of the year.”

The Ashe awards are sponsored by Diverse Issues in Higher Education magazine to celebrate the late tennis player’s accomplishments as a world-class Ishaq Pitt athlete and widely admired “man of integrity.”

“Sadly, a commonly held belief is that student-athletes who emulate this legacy don’t exist, when in fact; thousands of them frequent our nation’s college campuses,” a magazine statement says.

The publication dedicates an entire issue each spring to scholar-athletes nominated by their institutions for recognition as leaders in their respective fields of play as well as the classroom.

Mariana Alvarado Juniors Mariana Alvarado (Mexico) and Tatiana Munoz (Colombia) will be honored as tops in their athletic specialty, bowling. Both have earned dean’s list honors (3.5 GPA) and last week were among 33 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference athletes recognized for having a grade point average of 3.0 or higher.

The Ashe program “is dedicated to encouraging high school and college studentathletes to set and achieve higher academic goals and will offer Tatiana Munoz practical direction about attaining outstanding academic and athletic records,” according to organizers.

Approximately 150 secondary and college athletes, parents, coaches and faculty members are expected to attend the day-long event where they will hear from current and former college and professional athletes, college athletic academic advisors and other experienced experts in the field.

UMES wins MEAC Bowling Championship Hawks fight through a tough day to claim their second-straight conference title.

UMES brought home its second straight MidEastern Athletic Conference bowling crown this past weekend in a marathon duel with Florida A&M that required 14 games rolled over six hours.

The thirdranked Lady Hawks now await word from the NCAA about whether they will be invited to its national tournament. UMES already qualified to defend its 2013 U.S. Bowling Congress championship later this spring.

UMES’ protracted win over Florida A&M pushed both squads to the physical limits of competition often seen in a double-elimination format.

FAMU, which came into championship Sunday with one loss in the tournament, earned a spot in the finals against the top-seeded Hawks by besting North Carolina A&T in a semi-final elimination match early Sunday. The Rattlers then turned around and defeated UMES 4-3 in the first match, forcing a second best-of-seven Baker game match.

(The Baker format pits five bowlers from each team in a single game where each participant rolls two frames.)

The championship match went to the Lady Hawks, who staged a dramatic come-from-behind performance that saw them win the final two games to edge FAMU 4to-3.

“We stayed positive and kept fighting until the very last shot,” junior Mariana Alvarado said. “We overcame

Results: Match 1: FAMU wins 4-3 FAMU 198-129; UMES 190-171; UMES 179-177; UMES 245-183; FAMU 191-183; FAMU 211-165; FAMU 205-181 Match 2: UMES win 4-3 FAMU 160-149; FAMU 210-152; UMES 170-153; UMES 218-198; FAMU 183-164; UMES 185-164; UMES 182-130

a lot of adversity today and we are happy with the end result.”

Alvarado was named the MEAC Championship Most Outstanding Player and an All-Tournament Team selection. Megan Buja, the team’s lone senior, was also named to the All-Tournament Team.

“It’s amazing to have won three MEAC Championships in my career,” Buja said.

“Today was a roller coaster but we stuck together and never gave up. This just shows how

determined we were to win.”

Head Coach Kayla Bandy was named the MEAC Championship’s Most Outstanding Coach.

“It feels good to win my first MEAC Championship with these eight girls,” Bandy said. “They have worked so hard preparing for this tournament, even though it showed more so on Friday and Saturday. They still were able to grind through the adversity today.”

The win gives UMES its seventh conference title in women’s bowling.

Bandy utilized numerous line-up changes throughout the day and UMES bowlers changed balls several times. At one point Buja was bowling anchor, junior Valerie Riggin was leading off and Alvarado was anywhere between second and fourth.

“I tried to arrange the lineup based on who was in the pocket the most,” Bandy said. “We used the 10th frame on several occasions to start preparing for the next game. The lanes were tough for us today but we worked through it slowly, physically and mentally.”

The match was taped for a delayed broadcast on ESPNU on March 31 at 10:30 p.m.

The University of Maryland Eastern Shore announced March 12 that it will not renew the contract of head men’s basketball coach Frankie Allen.

Allen guided the Hawks the past six seasons and compiled an overall record of 42-139 during that time.

He completed his 24th year as a head coach and amassed 265 wins at four different schools.

“We thank Coach Allen for the time he dedicated to UMES,” said Director of Athletics Keith Davidson. “We appreciate his service and wish him well in his future endeavors.”

UMES is conducting a national search to name Allen’s successor.

Driskell also addressed Department of Fine Arts students in the classroom. “Art is an individual expression. Create a work of art that fits the canon; goodness, beauty, quality. If you learn that, you can do anything you want. Learning the craft is the most important thing. You have to practice repeatedly and be good enough to compete.

Artists imitate form that will benefit humanity.”

UMES offers high school-age students summer language program Study Chinese in high tech setting

High schoolage students can get a leg up at UMES this summer learning Chinese, a language that is in high demand in the current and future workforce.

Registration is now open for The Summer Language Experience, a twoweek, intensive, non-residential program designed to provide beginners with an introduction to the language as well as cultural understanding. A second session has been added this year for intermediate learners.

“This is a great opportunity for motivated high school students who want to make the most of their summer by studying a foreign language,” said Tammy Gharbi, program coordinator of the Foreign Language Instructional Center at UMES. “It would take nearly 15 weeks in a traditional school year to accomplish the 60 hours of instruction offered in The Summer Language Experience.”

The course is taught by a native-speaking instructor in a state-of-the-art language learning classroom. The Beginning Chinese session runs June 16-27; the Intermediate Chinese session runs July 7-18.

The fee for each course is $200 or $375 for both sessions. All materials are included.
