PRESIDENT OF ST. MARY’S COLLEGE OF MARYLAND
Dr. Tuajuanda Jordan has served as St. Mary’s College of Maryland’s (SMCM) seventh president since July 2014. During her tenure, the Board of Trustees approved a trilogy of interconnected strategic plans. The current plan, “The Rising Tide,” builds upon the goals achieved from previous plans to establish and solidify SMCM’s position as The National Public Honors College and the college of choice for students, faculty, staff and the community.
St. Mary’s College of Maryland has been widely recognized for its successes. Ranked among the nation’s best value colleges by The Princeton Review (2023) and among the top 10 best public liberal arts colleges in the nation by U.S. News & World Report (2024), SMCM continues to build upon its solid reputation for academic excellence under Dr. Jordan’s watch. Under her leadership, the College continues to analyze and assess its programming to ensure that students are provided opportunities to be engaged, productive global citizens and leaders.
Since joining the College, President Jordan has been widely recognized for her contributions to higher education and the larger community. She is currently the president of the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges (COPLAC) and will host its summer summit on campus this June. In 2023, she was named one of Maryland’s Top 100 Women by the Daily Record. In 2018, she was named a fellow in science education of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). In 2017, she was named one of the Top 25 Women in Higher Education by the national magazine, Diverse Issues in Higher Education. In addition to serving on numerous national panels and boards, she was recognized as a Black Leader in Education by the AFRO (2017), was named one of Fisk University’s Talented Tenth (2016), Purdue University’s Distinguished Women Scholars (2015-16), and as an Influential Marylander by the Daily Record (2015). She received an Education Excellence Award (2018) from the Southern Maryland Minority Chamber of Commerce, the Torchbearer Award (2014) from the National Coalition of Black Women, Baltimore Metropolitan Chapter and was inducted (2015) into the Zeta Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the nation’s oldest academic honor society.
Prior to SMCM, Dr. Jordan served as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and as a professor of chemistry at Lewis & Clark College in Oregon. While there, she helped recruit an exceptional and diverse faculty, launched a center for entrepreneurship, and developed a campus-wide system to increase student persistence and graduation rates. While an associate dean and tenured faculty member in the College of Arts and Sciences at Xavier University of Louisiana, she helped establish the center for undergraduate research and creativity.
Dr. Jordan gained national prominence in the realm of science education with the creation of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science Education Alliance (SEA) program and the launch of its first initiative, the SEA Phage program, which engaged novice undergraduates in research in genomics and bioinformatics. This program has been implemented at more than 50 diverse institutions across the nation, impacted thousands of students and faculty, and resulted in numerous scientific and pedagogical publications.
President Jordan holds a B.S. in chemistry from Fisk University and a PhD in biochemistry from Purdue University.

The fOunding Of sT. Mary’s cOllege
In 1840 it was decided that Maryland should have a monument to Lord Baltimore’s 1634 colony known as St. Mary’s City. Lord Baltimore’s experiment in freedom of conscience and in the separation of church and state was admirable, so Maryland’s “living monument” would be a girls’ high school (or seminary, as high schools were often called in those days) that would exemplify his beliefs. The state-supported school would be named after Maryland’s first capital, St. Mary’s City, and would have an independent board of trustees. It would be non-denominational, with both trustees and faculty evenly divided among Methodists, Catholics, and Episcopalians—the three major denominations in St. Mary’s County at the time. The first certificate of graduation was granted to Sallie Brome Morsell in 1874.
St. Mary’s Female Seminary taught the liberal arts and evolved into a junior college in 1926. By the end of the 1960s it had become St. Mary’s College of Maryland, a coeducational four-year college. It attracted bright students who were looking for the almost impossible—a college that was public, affordable, devoted to the liberal arts, academically rigorous, respectful of all races and creeds, and overseen by an independent board of trustees and a well-credentialed faculty committed to scholarship and teaching. In 1992, St. Mary’s College was recognized by the governor and the Maryland legislature as an honors college

faculTy disTincTiOn
In the academic world, it is not only students who receive special notices for outstanding work; faculty do, too. Faculty are recognized with promotions, awards, and endowed chairs/ professorships. Such special professorships are not supported by the regular budget but by an endowment – that is, by gifts made by individuals to the St. Mary’s College of Maryland Foundation. The interest from these specially designated gifts makes it possible for the holder of the chair or professorship to enjoy extra financial support for further research and professional growth. The chair or professorship is generally held for a three-year term.
Each spring, the College recognizes student and faculty scholarship at an Awards Convocation. The faculty recognized at this year's convocation are noted here.
The Norton T. Dodge Award for Scholarly and Creative Achievement was established in 1989 by the late Norton T. Dodge, faculty emeritus, to recognize faculty accomplishments. This year's recipient of the Norton T. Dodge Award for Scholarly and Creative Achievement is Karen Crawford, professor of biology.
The Homer L. Dodge Award for Excellence in Teaching by a Junior Faculty Member was established in. 2003 by the late Norton T. Dodge, faculty emeritus, to recognize excellence in teaching. This year's recipient of the Homer L. Dodge Award for Excellence in Teaching by a Junior Faculty Member is Sarah Latchney, assistant professor of neurobiology.
The Jordan Teaching Exemplar Award was established In 2017 by President Tuajuanda C. Jordan to recognize members of the St. Mary’s College community who exhibit exemplary teaching within or beyond the traditional classroom. This year's recipient of the Jordan Teaching Exemplar Award is Janet W. Varner '91, lecturer in educational studies.
The Andy Kozak Faculty Contribution to Student Life Award was established in 2011 by Don Stabile, faculty emeritus, to recognize faculty members who are active participants in the student life of the College. This award was named to honor his colleague, the late Andy Kozak, professor of economics. This year’s recipient of the Andy Kozak Faculty Contribution to Student Life Award is Charles Musgrove, professor of history.

The acadeMic PrOcessiOn
The academic procession is as colorful as a parade, and equally informative. Just as you can “read” a military parade, identifying each individual’s rank, so you can read an academic procession once you know the code. In the academic world, this code is both the cut of the long robe and the length of the colorful hood. These, along with the caps, have evolved from clothing worn in the Middle Ages by scholars and clerics alike—who were often one and the same person.
The procession is led by the graduating seniors, preceded by that faculty member who, being chosen annually by the Faculty Senate, carries the large wooden mace, long a symbol of authority. Wearing a simple variation of the medieval black gown, the seniors wear hoods that are short and lined with the College’s colors: blue, gold, and white. The hoods are edged in white, indicating a degree in the liberal arts (humanities). A pale blue and pink cord signifies election to Phi Beta Kappa. All students wear mortarboard caps with the tassel hanging over the right front, but at the end of the ceremony the new graduates will flip these tassels to the left.
The faculty marshal follows the students, ushering in the second half of the procession, which consists of faculty, staff, and finally the platform party. For those with master’s degrees, the robe is as plain as a bachelor’s robe, but its long, narrow, tapered sleeves fall almost to the knees.
Most of the College faculty, however, wear the doctor’s gown, easily distinguished by its enormous bellshaped sleeves with the three velvet, horizontal bars that match the broad band down the front of the robe. The doctor’s gown is usually black, but a few universities ask their doctoral graduates to wear a robe in the color of that university. The doctoral hood is lined in the color of the university that gave the degree. The broad edging on the hood is the same color as the horizontal bars on the sleeves of the gown, indicating the field in which the doctorate was received: deep blue for the liberal arts (PhD), light blue for education, purple for law, pink for music, etc. Because most of our faculty have a PhD in the liberal arts, the color on the sleeve bars and the edging on the hood is deep blue.
Honor Societies & Other Academic Honors
The College has more than a dozen academic programs with chapters of national or international honor societies or other academic honors. Students earning these honors during their college career wear cords or medallions over their black gowns as a mark of this distinction.
