UMES students visit nation’s capitol

By Gains Hawkins, vice president of institutional advancement

UMES students got a firsthand look at their federal government in action on a sun-drenched day in the nation’s capitol. A busload of students traveled from campus to Washington, D.C., to visit our congressional representatives. It was the 99th day of the Obama administration and though there were no Barack sightings, many other luminaries were observed in the marble hallways of the center of American political power.

Funded by the UMES Foundation, 26 students as well as staff from the Division of Student Life and Enrollment Management started their D.C. day with a face to face meeting with Rep. Frank Kratovil, D-1st District, Maryland (which covers all of the Eastern Shore and parts of Anne Arundel and Baltimore counties) member of the House of Rep-

resentatives in the Cannon Office Building.

The congressman’s staff then gave the students a two-hour walking tour of the Capitol Building, followed by lunch in the building’s cafeteria.

Later that day, the students visited staff from the offices of Maryland U.S. Sens. Benjamin Cardin and Barbara Mikulski in the Hart Office Building and took a tour of some of the city’s landmarks.

Earlier in the spring, many of these students took a tour of the Maryland State House in Annapolis and visited members of the General Assembly. That event was also sponsored by the UMES Foundation.

Plans are underway to establish a political internship for UMES students in Annapolis this spring with paid stipends.

UNIVERSITY of MARYLAND EASTERN SHORE

UMES awarded National Science Foundation grant for research in marine and estuarine science The National Science Foundation recently awarded UMES a $210,900 grant to establish the university as a Research Experience for Undergraduates Site (REU) for training students in marine and estuarine science through the summer of 2011. The first group of students participated this past summer.

Each year, eight college sophomores with limited opportunities for research and especially from under-represented groups in science will be selected to participate in an intensive 10-week research program in marine and estuarine science. The students will conduct research in the field and in various labs with their assigned UMES faculty mentor. Research disciplines range from environmental chemistry to fish ecology.

Weekly workshops, led by experts from the university and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, will be held on campus to train students in writing a research proposal, analyzing data, scientific ethics and topics of interest such as global climate change. REU interns will also take part in field trips such as canoeing on the Pocomoke River, exploring Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in Cambridge, Md., and visiting the University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute in Baltimore, Md. “This program creates a unique and exciting opportunity to introduce lower level undergraduate students to research and provide them the

mentorship they need for success in college. It will also hopefully stimulate the interest of the students to pursue graduate studies in marine and fisheries science,” said Dr. Paulinus Chigbu, REU principal investigator and director of the Living Marine Resources Cooperative Science Center (LMRCSC) at UMES. REU interns will present their research at the end of the summer, as did this year’s participants, at a symposium at the Paul S. Sarbanes Coastal Ecology Center near Assateague Island, Md. “The award of the REU grant by NSF to UMES is national recognition of the Environmental Sciences Program, particularly marine science, at UMES,” said Dr. Joseph Okoh, chairman, Department of Natural Sciences.

The program is supported with funds from the National Science Foundation Directorate of Biological Sciences in partnership with the Division of Ocean Sciences. For more information, contact Chigbu at 410-621-3034, by email at pchigbu@umes.edu or by visiting www.umes.edu/lmrcsc/reu.

Raab named as first Peninsula Regional Medical Center instructor at UMES Dr. Clayton Raab has been named the first Peninsula Regional Medical Center Physician Assistant Clinical Instructor at UMES. A partially, privately funded full-time lecturer in the UMES Department of Physician Assistant (PA), Raab is medical director for Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) instruction at Peninsula Regional, a community staff member at Peninsula Regional and an honorary staff member at Atlantic General Hospital.

“Physician assistants are an important component of a diversified team of health care providers,” said Peggy Naleppa, president, Peninsula Regional.

We are pleased that we are able to support this clinical instructorship in order to insure that we have an adequate number of well-trained and highly qualified individuals to provide care today and into the future. We know how important UMES is to our local and regional community and how fortunate Peninsula is to have such a wonderful academic institution to train and prepare these clinical professionals.”

A mutually beneficial working relationship between Peninsula Regional and UMES began at UMES in 1998, when faculty and students produced research findings and updates for the hospital while hospital personnel gave instructional lectures to UMES students. Out of the relationship came the first clinical instructorship at UMES to be funded by Peninsula Regional. The medical center began its support of one faculty line in the Department of Physical Therapy following a 2006 announcement of a $60,000 gift. Peninsula Regional’s second instructorship, supported by a $150,000 gift announced

late 2007, partially supports a faculty line in the Physician Assistant Department at the rate of $50,000 per year for three years.

“We are very excited to have this relationship between UMES and Peninsula Regional,” said Dr. Nicholas Blanchard, dean of the School of Pharmacy and Health Professions. “Our Physical Therapy and Physician Assistant graduates continue to do well on their licensing exams, and we attribute much of their success to the support that Peninsula Regional provides directly to the programs as well as to the medical center serving as a preceptor site.”

Prior to his tenure at Peninsula Regional, Raab served as medical director of the special unit at Atlantic General Hospital, as well as past member of the National Faculty for ACLS for the American Heart Association, past chairman of the Emergency Cardiac Care Subcommittee for the American Heart Association and past chairman of the Eastern Shore Division of the American Heart Association. He brings to his position a wealth of experience and institutional memory, having been a part of the UMES family since 2006.

Raab earned a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Maryland College Park and a Doctor of Medicine degree, summa cum laude, from the University of Maryland School of Medicine Baltimore, Md. From the University of Maryland School of Medicine, he is a recipient of the Faculty Gold Medal for Highest Academic Achievement and the Babcock Prize for Excellency in Surgery, and he holds membership in the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. He was certified diplomat of the National Board of Medical Examiners in 1976, diplomat of the American Board of Internal Medicine in 1979, diplomat of the American Board of Internal Medicine in Cardiovascular continued on page 7

UMES departments achieve 100 percent campaign participation

Pharmacy

Several of the departments at the university can be commended for rising to the challenge of 100 percent participation among their faculty and staff members in the Tom Joyner School of the Month campaign. Those featured in this edition are the Office of Residence Life, the Physical Plant and the School of Pharmacy and Health Professions.

The Office of Residence Life and its 16 professional staff answered the call to help support the Tom Joyner/UMES fundraising initiative. According to Marvin Jones, director, Residence Life, the generosity of the department’s team members resulted in gifts totaling $2,000. A gift was also made to the Residence Life Courtesy Fund, a private account supported by staff contributions each pay day.

“We believe in the mission of our university and we recognize the surmounting challenges of our students to afford the education provided within this community,” said Jones. “We extend a challenge to all campus entities to meet and surpass our giving.”

According to Leon Bivens, director, Physical Plant, the department raised $2,000, its goal. The department’s leadership made pledges and fulfilled them by mid August. Staff members followed suit. The department then held two 50/50 raffles, with winners often donating back a portion of their winnings.

A donation jar was kept in the lobby, where passer-bys could donate. Many visitors and businesses participated.

“The Physical Plant welcomed the challenge and met its goal,” said Bivens. “To all who supported the effort, a heartfelt ‘thanks’ is in order. We could not have done it without you!”

“The School of Pharmacy and Health Professions drive for the Tom Joyner Foundation was a huge success,” said Dr. Nicholas Blanchard, dean of the school. At their opening pot luck lunch for the year, the school announced that 100 percent of faculty and staff had contributed. When all was tallied, the school had raised $3,775 for the cause.

“The staff and faculty on campus took a very active role in the Tom Joyner School of the Month Program. It shows how deeply we all care about our students. For all of us in Institutional Advancement, this level of participation is truly uplifting!” said Dr. Veronique Diriker, director of development.”

UMES students have unique summer experiences New York, Turner Broadcasting’s CNN Lynette Gilchrist, a senior majoring in business administration, spent 10 weeks in the Big Apple as one of 10 interns through the Louis Carr Internship Foundation. The Foundation is devoted to increasing multiculturalism and diversity in the communications industry.

Gilchrist was assigned to work at Turner Broadcasting in the Time Warner Center as an intern with the director of multicultural advertising sales for CNN, who is responsible for selling commercial advertisements on the CNN networks that focus on diverse audiences, for example, “Black in America.”

Along with sales, she also experienced the production side of CNN. During her internship, she was mentored by the CNN production team and the technical crew behind the scenes of the Lou Dobbs Show, and visited the control room and editing room of several shows. She volunteered at the Ghetto Film School Benefit Dinner, a charity CNN supports, and saw celebrities such as pro basketball player Steve Nash, actor Delroy Lindo and CNN personality Anderson Cooper.

Her most memorable experience was attending a lecture for the interns by CNN correspondent Soledat O’Brien with the “Black In America” series. She says the session inspired her to pursue her passion for journalism to increase the coverage of news stories about the African-American community.

Maryland Summer Center Walt Torchon, a senior majoring in biology and his brother, Wes, a junior majoring in accounting, spend their third year as camp counselors with the Maryland Summer Center for Environmental Studies at the University of Maryland, Horn Point Environmental Laboratory in Cambridge, Md. The two brothers spend two, one-week sessions aimed at giving gifted and talented students within the state the opportunity to work with their peers and alongside scientists and experts in areas of special interest to them.

Along with heading up the team building activities for the campers, they assisted other counselors and teachers with the student’s collection of data, research and experiments on the following areas of study: sub-aquatic vegetation, sturgeon, the Maryland blue crab, oysters and man’s impact on the Chesapeake Bay. The campers and staff were active from dawn to dusk. Other activities supplementing the campers’ studies were seining for specimens from the Choptank River, canoeing, dissecting crabs and fish, and educational games.

KPMG, New York Nicholas Washington, a senior majoring in business and accounting, spent his second summer in Manhattan as an intern with the KPMG Summer Scholars Program in partnership with the Institute for Responsible Citizenship. The institute is a not-for-profit organization based in Washington, D.C., which provides an intensive leadership program for gifted African-American male college students.

After an exciting week at KPMG’s national internship training session in Disneyworld in Orlando, Fla., Washington spend seven weeks in New York as an audit intern in KPMG’s Financial Services practice working with a diverse group of coworkers at different stages of their careers, including partners, senior managers, senior associates and fellow interns.

During the internship, Washington worked primarily on two major assignments: one related to banking and the other related to insurance. According to him, the insurance one sparked his interest the most as it was for a global client. Working with a partner and a senior manager, he mapped a client’s business lines for audit planning purposes, performed audit test work on the client’s fee income and expenses, engaged in research on new statutory accounting developments that would affect the client and merged the information into an audit plan.

As it was a global client, Washington’s work was reviewed by KPMG employees in France and Bermuda.

His most memorable experience was a one-to-one meeting with the vice chair of KPMG’s Marketing Strategy and managing partner of the New York office, who imparted some pertinent advise on not being so career driven that one deprives themselves of the benefits that accrue during the journey.

Washington says it was a reality check for him.

Jessica Chapman, a senior English major, packed her bags and embarked on an international adventure to teach English through the English Language Institute of China (ELIC).

After a one-week training session in Denver, Co., it was on to Hong Kong, China, to the Shatin Pui Ying College, where she and her fellow team members taught English to middle school aged children along with ELIC supervisors and teachers at Shatin Pui Ying College.

According to Chapman, she was responsible for lesson planning and managing the classroom effectively. One of the training hints she recalls and put to use was the mantra, “You are the teacher,” which the student teachers were told to utter to themselves when they felt stressed. Not only were the student teachers teaching overseas to nonEnglish speaking children, but they had to do it with masks on for fear of the group bringing the

Shatin Pui Ying College, Hong Kong, China

H1N1 virus to the country.

The planning and implementation of cultural events and fun nights, of which Chapman was involved, gave the children the chance to experience American culture such as a wedding and holidays such as Valentine’s Day and Halloween. One of her memorable experiences was seeing one of her student’s do the moonwalk.

She says this experience has made her realize what she wants to do with the rest of her life, teach!

Diseases 3 in 1981 and diplomat of the American Board of Internal Medicine in Interventional Cardiology in 1999.

“We are elated to have Dr. Raab as a full-time faculty member,” said Darlene Jackson-Bowen, chair, UMES Physician Assistant Department. “To have a cardiologist as a core faculty member in a physician assistant program is phenomenal and to have one to accept a salary that’s less than commensurate with what private practice demands is extraordinary. It is a testament to his commitment to the Eastern Shore and to the students of UMES.” Physician assistants (PA's) are health care professionals licensed to practice medicine with physician supervision. As part of their comprehensive responsibilities, PA's conduct physical examinations, diagnose and treat illnesses, order and interpret tests, counsel on preventive health care, assist in surgery and in most states can write prescriptions.

The UMES Physician Assistant Department is a baccalaureate degree

granting educational program. The program, committed to providing equal opportunity, promotes health and wellness through the provision of quality primary health care education. Its diverse environment values the discovery of knowledge and the development, dissemination and practical application of that knowledge through community outreach and service. The PA Department is part of the School of Pharmacy and Health Professions, which also includes the departments of Exercise Science, Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science.

The Physician Assistant Department is fully accredited through the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant, Inc. (ARC-PA). Graduates meet the educational requirements for eligibility of the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants NCCPA examination and state licensure.
