Welcome To Parents’ Weekend!

October 19-21, 2012 Lectures enhance "Journey Stories" exhibit Two guest lectures will be held at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore in conjunction with the “Journey Stories” traveling exhibit of the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum on Main Street project.

Dr. Psyche Williams-Forson, an associate Williams-Forson professor of American studies at the University of Maryland College Park, will speak Nov. 8, at 12:30 p.m. in the Student Service Center, multi-purpose room. Dr. Robert Ginsberg, professor emeritus at Pennsylvania State University with 35 years teaching philosophy and comparative literature, is UMES’ guest Nov. 13, at 7 p.m. in the Frederick Douglass Library auditorium.

Both lectures are sponsored by the Maryland Humanities Council.

“The ‘Journey Stories’ exhibit in itself is a gem, but to have these companion activities adds to the breadth and depth of the subject,” said Jennifer Neumyer, special collections and outreach librarian at UMES. The lectures further illustrate how the Ginsberg development of transportation and technology has greatly impacted American society, she said.

Williams-Forson’s topic is “Freedom to Travel: When the Proper Airs of Refinement, Beautiful Clothes, and a Packed Lunch Were Just Not Enough.”

She “facilitates a lively discussion” among participants who are asked to contribute their own experiences in order to think more deeply about how

New higher education network launches to improve Maryland and DC communities

University of Maryland Eastern Shore is joining 29 other public and private colleges and universities to form The Maryland-District of Columbia Campus Compact, a consortium committed to addressing local and global community issues through student service, civic engagement, academically based service-learning and campus-community partnerships.

In one of her first acts after becoming UMES president July 1, Dr. Juliette B. Bell committed the university to joining other two-, four-year and graduate institutions that now form an expanded version of an older organization.

“I believe that personal and social responsibility are essential attributes of an educated citizenry. We have the capacity and responsibility of making civic learning and engagement integral components of the educational enterprise here at UMES,” Bell said.

The new compact will hold its inaugural meeting at Montgomery College’s Takoma Park campus, Oct. 26, when presidents of member

Inauguration week committee named A steering committee has been formed to coordinate a week-long series of events in April 2013 that will culminate in Dr. Juliette B. Bell’s official installation as president of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.

Bell Academic and social events will be planned throughout the week of April 14.

“This is an exciting time in our journey as a university,” Bell said.

Bell said she envisions inauguration week as a way to “celebrate … our ingenuity through arts and culture, our engagement through civic responsibility; and our discovery through science, technology and learning.”

Bell said “this is a celebration of our first steps on the journey from 'Excellence to Eminence',” the theme she has chosen as she begins her tenure at UMES. “It is a celebration of our renaissance.”

Dr. Rolanda Burney, special assistant to the president, and Kimberly C. Dumpson, Esq., vice president for Institutional Advancement, are co-chairs of the committee. Willie Bell, the president’s husband, will serve as honorary chairman. Steering committee members include: Dr. Ayodele Alade, dean, School of Business and Technology Debbi Anderson, friend of the university Dr. Nina Lyon-Bennett, chair, Department of Human Ecology Dr. Ellis Beteck, dean, Library Services Dr. Nicholas Blanchard, dean, School of Pharmacy and Health Professions Dr. Corey Bowen, manager, Richard A.

race, class and gender have affected and still impact one’s ability to travel, Neumyer said.

Forson is author of “Building Houses out of Chicken Legs: Black Women, Food, and Power” and “Taking Food Public: Redefining Foodways in a Changing World.” Her research and teaching interests, Neumyer said, includes cultural studies, material culture, food, women’s studies and the social and cultural history of the U.S. in the late 19th and 20th centuries.

She holds a master’s and doctorate in American Studies from the University of Maryland College Park and a bachelor’s in English from the University of Virginia.

“The Global Village in the New Millennium” is Ginsberg’s topic. He proposes that values are changing as the world becomes one community as a result of the technological revolution, Neumyer said. In the 21st century, communication is instant, the economy is a global one and human rights are becoming a universally recognized principle. His presentation looks at the problems associated with these three areas and explores how to expand the benefits associated with them as well.

Ginsberg holds a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania and bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Chicago. He specializes in value inquiry, social and political philosophy, aesthetics and philosophy of the Enlightenment. Some 173 of his writings have been published in five languages in 19 countries.

UMES presents fall theater production

UMES’ Drama Society presents “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow is Enuf” Nov. 1-3, at 7:30 p.m. in the Ella Fitzgerald Center for the Performing Arts.

The play is a significant piece of African-American literature, Dr. Della Dameron-Johnson, professor of English and Modern Languages and Drama Society director, said. “It is particularly appropriate as it comes on the heels of October’s designation as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.”

The lives of nine black women and their ordeals are uncovered through the scenes of the play, she said. “They encounter various forms of domestic violence, but above all, despair and loneliness.” The UMES version, she assures, is PG-rated.

K'Treece Lawson, student director, adds, “Watching the play might make women realize that they are not alone; we all go through problems.

Hopefully, it will make them stronger by dealing with situations that they

3

haven’t dealt with before.”

The production combines elements of Ntozake Shange’s 1975 original stage play and Tyler Perry’s 2010 film. “We are adapting some material from the movie to bring it to life as well as adding some original student dance choreography to the production,” Dameron-Johnson said.

The 37-year-old play remains relevant today. “Not a lot has changed," she said, “which is why this show is so appealing to a cross section of audiences.

Because the plight of females is universal, the characters will also represent races other than the traditional African-American and

include men in performing roles.”

Students from the Department of English and Modern Languages and other areas join the Drama Society in the production. Tickets are available at the door: $5 general admission; $3 seniors and $2 students with ID. Call 410-651-6575 for more information.

School of Pharmacy offers health screenings and medication reviews UMES’ School of Pharmacy and Health Professions is hosting health screenings and medication review sessions in observance of October as American Pharmacists Month.

Activities take place Wed., Oct. 24, from 12-2 p.m. in Somerset Hall on the university campus. Pharmacy students and faculty from the school will perform blood pressure screenings, diabetes and stroke risk assessments, body fat Ferdinand Ngonga, a third year School and body mass index analyses and brown bag medication of Pharmacy student at UMES, conducts a blood pressure screening. reviews.

Brown bag programs encourage consumers— especially older adults—to gather all their prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, as well as vitamins and herbal supplements, and take them to a pharmacist in a bag for review, said Dr. Miriam Purnell, assistant dean for student affairs and director of the Drug Information Center at UMES. “The fact that many patients see multiple doctors and may even go to multiple pharmacies contributes to confusion about the proper use of medications and may lead to adverse events due to medication errors,” Purnell said. The goal of the program, she added, is to promote better patient/pharmacist communications to identify duplicate, outdated or poorly stored medications and to solve some of the problems of taking multiple medications.

American Pharmacists Month strives to educate the public and policymakers about the role pharmacists play in the reduction of overall health care costs and the safe and effective management of medications, Purnell said. “Know your pharmacist, know your medicine,” is the theme for the 2012 observance. UMES’ events are free and open to the public. They are held in collaboration with the Million Hearts Campaign, Healthy People 2020 and Script Your Future.

“American Pharmacists Month is a great way to educate the public about how pharmacists can help them get the most benefit from their medicine. This event on campus is just one way that our student pharmacists and faculty members are doing just that,” Dr. Nicholas Blanchard, dean, School of Pharmacy and Health Professions, said.

Physician Assistant students bring home trophy A bedpan doesn’t come to mind as a coveted item unless it’s the “Golden Bedpan Trophy” of the Maryland Academy of Physician Assistants—an annual award that was elusive until the 2012 competition for UMES Physician Assistant students.

“We’re happy to be the first Graduating students and faculty of team to bring home the gold,” UMES’ Physician Assistant program Gbenga Adeyeye, a soon-to-be pictured with the “Golden Bedpan graduate of the program and Trophy,” from left, are: William Ennis; team member, said. “We have Dr. Linda Trotman, clinical coordinator; Tessa Rolnick; Ahsan looked forward to winning this Hamid; Gbenga Adeyeye; Peter since last year.”

Stanford, interim chair; and Angela Dr. Linda Trotman, clinical Akinpelu. coordinator for UMES’ program, said that each year the three PA programs in Maryland—Anne Arundel Community College, Community College of Baltimore County and UMES— send one or more teams to “battle for bragging rights to the unique trophy.” The trophy is the pinnacle of the 16th annual Challenge Bowl—a fun, but competitive, event at the MAPA’s annual conference that follows the format of a medical quiz show.

The “trophy” will be proudly displayed in the UMES PA Department for one year before being returned for next year’s competition. “We hope to never relinquish the ‘trophy;’ leaving it at UMES as a permanent fixture,” Trotman said.

The PA program marks a milestone in Fall 2013, Trotman said, as it transitions to a master’s degree program.

Pictured, from left, are: (front row) Laurel Huffman, assistant TMCF campus ambassador and Centers for Disease Control ambassador at UMES; Aundra Roberts, program assistant, Henson Honors Program; Ja’Nay Hawkins, campus relations associate, TMCF; (back row) M. Scott Lilly, vice president, talent acquisition and campus relations, TMCF; Maurice Pearsall, TMCF; Michael Tadesse Sr., TMCF campus ambassador at UMES; and Juontonio Pinckney, senior director, talent acquisition and campus relations, TMCF.

Seventeen UMES students have been selected to attend an elite leadership institute and recruitment fair for public HBCU students Oct. 26-29 in New York. The event is sponsored by the Thurgood Marshall College Fund.

“The interview experience at UMES was wonderful,” UMES junior Shanyce Stewart said. “The critiques given will enhance my interviewing skills for life.”

“For the past decade, this four-day conference has given talented future leaders a unique professional development experience,” said Aundra Roberts, the program assistant with UMES’ Richard A. Henson Honors Program.

Students are brought together with some of the nation’s top executives for training in leadership and life skills, and career development.

One of the main components of the event is the recruitment fair, where students meet with over 60 companies and government agencies offering jobs and internships, Roberts said.

Aaron Cardwell, a junior majoring in sociology, is looking toward the conference “…to enhance my leadership skills and network with other students.” He said he also hopes to meet with job recruiters to discuss internship opportunities.

UMES Dietetics Program wins national award

Dietetics students, interns and faculty in the Department of Human Ecology won the “School Spirit” award at the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Food and Nutrition conference and expo in Philadelphia earlier this month.

“The department is proud to have been able to send all four dietetic interns and four senior undergraduate students to the FNCE conference,” said Dr. Malinda Cecil, a registered dietitian and director of the dietetics program at UMES. “It was this high percentage of student participation that drew the attention of the academy.”

The award was presented by the president of the national organization, Dr. Ethan A. Bergman at a reception held during the conference. According to Cecil and her colleague Cathy Ferraro, a registered dietitian and lecturer, it recognized the university’s “commitment to dietetics education, continuing professional development and lifelong learning.”

“Experiencing FNCE first hand gave me a profound appreciation for the sheer volume of professionals involved in our field and the dedication that is required in being a proficient registered dietitian,” Andrew Hade, a UMES graduate and current intern, said.

Maureen Watts, a dietetic intern at UMES, said her favorite part of the event was the Nutrition Expo. “I think I sampled every product that was being offered.

What a great way to be informed of the latest products available for a wide variety of (dietary) needs.”

UMES starts season as nation’s top team Hawks retain their number one ranking in the NTCA poll.

The two-time defending National Champions are sitting atop the NCAA women’s bowling world again this season. The National Tenpins Coaches Association’s preseason poll ranks UMES number one with 14 first-place votes. UMES was voted to that same spot in the final poll after winning a second consecutive NCAA title this past April.

“It’s an honor,” head coach Kristina Frahm said.

“We earned this same ranking at the end of 2011 and started last season on top and then fell and had to fight to get back there. What is important is how we finish, but it sure is nice to be recognized at the start of the year.”

This season should go a little easier than a year ago, when the Hawks replaced three All-America honorees. Coming into this new season, the National Champs only saw one player, Paula Vilas, cross the graduation stage.

“Paula’s graduation is a big loss for us,” Frahm said. “She was not only

a great bowler, but (provided) such an emotional lift at the lead-off spot for our team.

Luckily, we have a couple of young ladies who can step in and hopefully we won’t skip a beat.”

Despite UMES having four veteran bowlers returning from the championship squad this year, there was no consensus about who is number one in the pre-season poll.

“All the teams have been improving exponentially over the last few years and competition is getting tougher,” National Ten Pin Coaches Association President Becky Kregling said. “This is the first time we’ve had six different teams receive first place votes, so it will be exciting to see how the season plays out.”

Among the teams that will be gunning for UMES this season: Arkansas State University earned the second spot and five first place votes. All the Red Wolves’ starters from the 2011-12 team that finished no lower than fourth in a regular season will return.

Last year’s NCAA runner-up, Fairleigh Dickinson University (1 first), garnered the third spot. The Knights lost two regulars, but return NCAA Player of the Year Danielle McEwan for her senior season.

Coming off a semi-final appearance in last year’s championship, Vanderbilt University (1 first) is ranked fourth. The Commodores look to replace two starters.

Rounding out the top five is the University of Nebraska (1 first). The Cornhuskers return a solid group as they look to make their ninth trip to the NCAA Championship.

The MEAC was well represented in the poll; Norfolk State is ranked 11th, Bethune-Cookman is 18th and Delaware State is 20th.

Why did you audition to host the BET College Tour?

I wanted to try something new. I’ve never hosted anything before and thought it would be a good idea.

How did you prepare for the audition?

I just walked into the audition and acted how Bryce would act. I showed my personality with my performance and I thought it went well.

Q& A

Bryce Robinson, senior Age: 20 Majoring in criminal justice Clinton, Md

Who was the first person you called when you were named the BET guest host?

I called my sister. My parents didn’t know; I wanted them to be surprised when they saw me on TV. What honors and student offices have you held or currently are holding?

I am Mr. Senior 2012-13. I was also Mr. Drama Society and served as its treasurer, vice president and president.

What are your future career goals?

My goal … is to graduate on time and … to go into a government agency or private security firm.

If you could have lunch with someone famous, who would it be and why?

I would have lunch with Zoe Saldana. She is the most beautiful actress to me and I would love to just sit and chat with her.

What is the dominant color in your wardrobe and why?

I think I have a lot of blue and red. Those colors always attract my eyes. They stick out and are bright. I like to wear bright colors at times and then I have time when I want to wear black. My favorite part of my wardrobe would have to be my socks. I have so many different designs of socks and it’s what people always look to see on my feet.

What is your favorite activity with friends on campus?

I chill with my friends. We like to just get together, get some food, watch a movie or a football game and have good conversation and some laughs.

institutions will sign a Declaration of Civic Learning & Democratic Engagement.

The ceremony signals a commitment to the National Call to Action, fulfilling a promise outlined in the Association of American Colleges and Universities’ 2012 report, “A Crucible Moment: College Learning & Democracy’s Future.”

Dr. Richard Guarasci, President of Wagner College, N.Y. and a member of the National Task Force on Civic Learning & Democratic Engagement, will be the keynote speaker.

The Md.-D.C. compact has 22 full-time AmeriCorps*VISTA members who serve at member campuses organizing students to address poverty and strengthen the capacity of non-profits in the region. The compact also conducts workshops, conferences and professional development events for faculty, administrators, community partners and students.

Bell pledged UMES will be an active member under her leadership by providing “distinctive learning, discovery and engagement opportunities for students and service to our community in fulfillment of our institutional mission and our calling as a land grant university.”

Originally created in 2008 as the Maryland Campus Compact, the newly incorporated 501(c)-3 organization is the most recent regional office to affiliate with the National Campus Compact. The national compact, a coalition of nearly 1,200 college and university presidents representing some six million students, was formed in 1985 to revitalize the public purposes of higher education.
