UMES responds to Crisfield call for aid The city of Crisfield was the area hardest hit when Hurricane Sandy made landfall in Maryland Oct. 29. A call for help went out in Somerset County to lend a hand to neighbors in need.

UMES answered, sending volunteers to aid in clean-up efforts left by high winds and flooding.

Students from various university organizations, and some just on their own, pulled up ruined carpeting and other housing materials and removed debris outside. The students were among a group of 145 Good Samaritans who logged a combined 4,906 community service hours on Saturday, Nov. 3.

“It was wonderful to see so many students help UMES students gather around a Crisfield resident whose home the us this past weekend,” said John Phoebus, a students spent Nov. 3 cleaning up Crisfield attorney and civic leader. “What a great from Hurricane Sandy. neighbor the campus community is to Crisfield and all of Somerset County.”

Volunteers are still needed and their efforts would be greatly appreciated, Ayanna Evans, program coordinator, Office of University Engagement and Lifelong Learning, said. Food items for the Crisfield relief effort are being collected at Immanuel United Methodist Church, 206 W. Main St., Crisfield, Md. 21817. The donations manager is Jackie Wheatley.

University jazz groups tune up for concert

Tri-County College Fair

If music speaks to your soul, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore has a pre-holiday treat in store for Delmarva.

Jazz aficionados won’t want to miss a Dec. 3 concert when two of the university’s acclaimed groups, the Jazz Ensemble and the Jazz Combo, perform a bevy of selections from the century-old U.S. art form.

The “Big Band”—the ensemble, under the direction of Dr. John R. Lamkin, opens the concert. It will perform “an array of jazz favorites” including “Caravan” by Duke Ellington and “Doodlin” by Horace Silver, Lamkin said. Vocalist Chelsea Corpening, a senior graduating in December, will sing “a beautiful rendition of Gershwin’s ‘Embraceable You’ and an up tempo version of the old jazz gem, ‘Mack the Knife’ by Kurt Weill.”

The Jazz Combo performs under the direction of Brian Perez, lecturer of woodwinds at UMES. “We’ll be playing selections from the Hard Bop era through modern day,” Perez said. Musical compositions performed will range from “The Kicker” by the late jazz tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, to pieces written

by UMES faculty and students. The Combo will play senior music education major Lloyd Griffith’s “Bop-De-Bop” and Perez’s piece, “Refrane.”

The concert is free and takes place at 7 p.m. in the Ella Fitzgerald Center for the Performing Arts. Call 410-651-6571 for more information.

Art exhibit showcases work of seniors “Revelations,” an exhibit displaying the works of five senior fine arts majors at UMES, will open on Dec. 7 with a reception from 4-8 p.m.in the Mosely Gallery. The show features paintings, computer graphic illustration, “Prometheus” photography,

by Erica Matthews ceramics and sequential illustration.

The seniors have used their intuition and training to stage an art show that “honestly portrays their life experiences, emotions and imaginations,” said Corinne Beardsley, the Mosely Gallery’s interim director.

Two Baltimoreans have selected paintings to display; each with a different subject matter and perspective.

Travis Chambers exhibits “Madness on Campus,” a colorful, surreal painting of the struggle students have paying student loans. In contrast, Danyeal Charles's work focuses on “the beauty and meaning of simple things in life and the contemporary experience of youth.”

“Our lives are headed in different directions after college,” Matthews said. “This is our last hoorah as we move from a world that accepts us into a world where we have to prove ourselves.”

The students also will be participating in the Holiday Artist Show at the Art Institute and Gallery, which opens with a reception Nov. 16, from 5 p.m.-7 p.m. The exhibition is part of downtown Salisbury’s Third Friday events and will be on display through Dec. 21.

Arts and Professions advisory board formed As one of his first acts as dean of the School of Arts and Professions, Dr. Ray Davis has formed an executive advisory board. Invitations were extended to business leaders, educators and alumni to lend their expertise.

Members include: Ernest Satchell, Allen J. Singleton, Dianna Rogers-Ford, Dr. Earl S. Richardson, Sherman L. Lambert esq., David Briddell, Horatio Williams Jones, Morgan Hazel, Dr. Marjorie Miles, Kenneth Gaudreau esq., Dr. Mark Bowen, and Gladys Goslee, an Ex-officio.

“The board is comprised of successful individuals who are passionate about UMES,” Davis said. Among them are attorneys, a CBS network producer, a former university president and a school district superintendent.

“Several are UMES graduates who feel indebted to this university for providing a foundation that enabled them to succeed as professionals and contributing members of society,” Davis said. “Given their caliber, commitment and support, I am confident the School of Arts and Professions will benefit greatly.”

The board met for the first time in mid-October.

It will continue to meet semi-annually, with members serving as liaisons between the university and its external communities. The board’s goal is to assist in strategic planning to move academic programs to greater levels of success. It is also charged with advocating for resources that enhance the academic, cultural and creative climate for students and faculty in the School of Arts and Professions.

The employee campaign is not about the size of the gifts, but the power of the combined efforts of faculty, staff and administrators.

Faculty Spotlight

Dr. Marcos Cheney, associate professor of environmental chemistry and radioactivity, Department of Natural Sciences, will serve as a program chair for the 2013 International Conference on Materials Engineering. The conference will take place May 17-19 in Nanjing, China.

Cheney is among five chairs and 17 committee members representing India, China, Austria, Indonesia, the U.S., Spain, Portugal, Italy, Jordan and New Zealand who are organizing the event.

ICMAT organizers aim to provide the platform for researchers, engineers, academicians and industrial professionals to present their research results and development activities in material science and engineering. Proceedings and papers from the conference will be published in the periodical, “Applied Mechanics and Materials.”

Wilton Rose, lecturer, Department of English and Modern Languages, screened his film, “Witney and I,” in mid-October at the Poconos Mountain Film Festival. A trailer of the work in progress received favorable reviews, Rose reported.

The three-day event provides independent filmmakers an opportunity to network and have their work viewed by a potential audience of around 1,000. Proceeds from the event funded safe houses for battered women, since the event was held during Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Rose’s work is based on his niece’s murder in Baltimore in 2003.

Dr. Weiwei Zhu, assistant professor, Department of Math and Computer Science, has recently authored a book titled, “The Multilevel Structures of NURBs and NURBlets on Intervals.” Lambert Academic Publishing in Germany is the publisher.

Constructing NURBlets is useful in designing an arbitrary shape of an object in industry, especially when exactness of the shape is critical such as the shape of an aircraft. The book addresses the problem of constructing biorthogonal wavelets based on non-uniform rational cubic B-Splines on intervals. Non-uniform rational B-Splines are called NURBs, while corresponding wavelets are NURBlets. Most popular wavelet models in the industry are approximated

at boundaries. In this book, a new model is presented for generating arbitrary shapes of industrial objects with mathematical exactness throughout intervals; it fulfills interpolation at boundaries as well.

B-Splines play an important role in the sophisticated geometric modeling, computer graphics, computer-aided design/manufacturing/engineering and other areas in industry. Zhu's research focuses on wavelet analysis, harmonic analysis, mass data processing, computer graphics, signal/image processing and tsunami early warning systems.

Zhu holds a bachelor's in electronic engineering from Harbin University of Science and Technology and a master's in applied mathematics from Truman State University. She received a master's in computer science and a Ph.D. in applied mathematics from the University of Missouri, St. Louis.

Zhu came to UMES in 2010 as a visiting assistant professor.

Dr. Terry Smith, assistant professor, Department of English and Modern Languages, was the moderator for a panel discussion at the 2012 conference of the English Association of Pennsylvania State Universities held last month at East Smith, Hagenrater-Gooding, Jones Stroudsburg University. The topic was “Intertextuality in Online Venues for the Teaching of Creative Writing, Technical Writing and Public Speaking.”

Intertextuality describes the relationships among texts; the main body of written matter. Smith and two UMES colleagues used it to show how various texts are related to the original written pieces students produce in online communications courses at UMES. Smith’s topic was “Technicality, Technology and Texts,” addressing intertextuality in the teaching of online technical writing courses. Dr. Amy Hagenrater-Gooding presented “Conquering the Cursor.” It demonstrated how teaching creative writing online can diminish writer’s block and inspire insecure writers. Cultivating public speaking skills in online environments was the focus of Gabriela Vlahovici-Jones’ topic, “From Mimesis to Creativity.”

UMES senior participates in national collegiate quiz program Leroy Myers Jr., a senior from Baltimore, won $1,000 earlier this month as a contestant in the Ford Black College Quiz show series.

Myers is the first UMES student invited to participate in the competition since its inception seven years ago.

Contestants were quizzed on African American history across a spectrum of topics that included the African Diaspora, arts and literature, popular music, sports figures, trailblazers, women in Civil Rights and inventors.

Myers and Aundrá Roberts, the UMES Henson Honors Program assistant, traveled to Atlanta, where the competition was taped for the BET network and will be broadcast between late January and early March 2013.

A nervous Myers performed well enough on a quiz in a preliminary round to earn a $1,000 award that he says he’ll happily apply to his spring

tuition bill.

“I kind of surprised myself that I did as well as I did,” Myers said. “It was a great experience. I’m glad that I went.”

Among the highlights from the weekend competition for Myers was meeting TV and film actor, RonReaco Lee. Myers spent this past summer in New York as a fellow in the prestigious Schomburg-Mellon Humanities Summer Institute program. His area of academic interest as a history major in the School of Arts and Professions is Native Americans. He also has had an op-ed column on the 2012 election published by the Daily Times in Salisbury.

Among the 11 other HBCUs that sent students to the competition were Coppin State, Hampton, and Spelman, which was the host site for the TV taping.

Roberts said Myers was the ideal scholar-ambassador to be UMES’ first representative at the event, and she is confident his performance will mean the university will get future invitations to participate.

Volleyball nabs another North Division MEAC crown Volleyball The final weekend of the regular season for MEAC volleyball produced another divisional crown for the UMES Hawks, who nonetheless saw a 23-match winning streak in conference play end.

Down two sets to Norfolk State in the next-to-the-last match of the season, the Lady Hawks roared back to win and capture their sixth straight Northern Division championship. The heartstopping victory secured a number one seed when the conference tournament begins play today at Coppin State in Baltimore.

Bianca Parker, a junior from Upper Marlboro, Md., plays the part of The Woman in Orange, Ester Adewumi.

Despite some lost rehearsals due to Hurricane Sandy, the show went on for the UMES Drama Society’s adaptation of “For Colored Girls” by Ntozake Shange.

The cast played nightly, Nov. 2 and 3, to an audience of about 250.

The performance slated for Thursday, Nov. 1, was used instead as a dress rehearsal.

“I’m glad I listened to my students, who suggested this piece for the fall show,” said Dr. Della Dameron-Johnson, professor of English and Modern Languages and Drama Society director. “I was skeptical due to the strong adult content, which I toned down to a great degree. What remained appeared not to have offended the conservative spirit of our traditional audience members. We are happy the show was received so graciously.”

Campus dons pink for breast cancer awareness month

UMES Hawks made a visible and audible display of their support of a cure for breast cancer Oct. 25 by donning pink and walking the campus.

Many walked in memory of a victim of breast cancer or in honor of a survivor. The event culminated a week of activities geared toward awareness of the disease and support of those fighting it.
