Tuajuanda C. Jordan, PhD Dr. Tuajuanda Jordan has served as St. Mary’s College of Maryland’s (SMCM) seventh president since July 2014. The College, as Maryland's only public honors college and the first of its kind in the nation, has been widely recognized for its successes. Consistently ranked among the top 100 Kiplinger's list of best values in public colleges and among the top 10 best public liberal arts colleges in the nation by U.S. News & World Report, 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. President Jordan has been widely recognized for her contributions to higher education and the larger community. She was named a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2018) and one of the Top 25 Women in Higher Education by Diverse Issues in Higher Education magazine (2017). She was recognized as a Black Leader in Education by the AFRO (2017), was named as 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). Dr. Jordan received the inaugural CEO's Excellence Award from the Prince George's County Public Schools Foundation (2019), 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 into the Zeta Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa (2015), the nation’s oldest academic honor society. 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 in more than 50 diverse institutions across the nation, impacted thousands of students and faculty, and resulted in numerous scientific and pedagogical publications. Prior to SMCM, Dr. Jordan was a tenured faculty member and administrator at Xavier University of Louisiana and Lewis and Clark College in Oregon. She holds a B.S. in chemistry from Fisk University and a PhD in biochemistry from Purdue University.

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 supported 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. Each spring, the College recognizes student and faculty scholarship at an Awards Convocation. The faculty recognized at the 2020 convocation are noted here. The Homer L. Dodge Award for Excellence in Teaching was established in 1985 by the late Norton T. Dodge, faculty emeritus, to recognize faculty accomplishments. The 2020 recipient of the Homer L. Dodge Award for Excellence in Teaching is Todd Eberly, professor of political science and public policy studies.
The Norton T. Dodge Award for Scholarly and Creative Achievement by a Junior Faculty Member was created in 2003 by Don Stabile to recognize excellence in teaching. The 2020 recipient of the Norton T. Dodge Award for Scholarly and Creative Achievement by a Junior Faculty Member is Troy Townsend, assistant professor of chemistry. 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. The 2020 recipient of the Jordan Teaching Exemplar Award is Joanna Bartow, professor of Spanish. In 2011, Don Stabile established an award 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. The 2020 recipient of the Andy Kozak Faculty Contribution to Student Life Award is Barry Muchnick, assistant professor of environmental studies.
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. 3
Academic Distinction Graduating with Honors Seniors with a high grade-point average (GPA) are candidates for a degree with honors. These honors have, for centuries, been expressed in the Latin phrase “cum laude” (with praise). All candidates for a degree with honors are also St. Mary’s scholars. Below, the GPAs are ranked from highest to lowest: Summa cum laude: 3.900 - 4.000 GPA Magna cum laude: 3.700 - 3.899 GPA Cum laude: 3.500 - 3.699 GPA
Valedictorians The senior who has the highest GPA (grade-point average) is the class valedictorian. For the Class of 2020, there were four valedictorians: Elizabeth Johnson, Cameron Kelley, Joseph McManus. and Peter Orban.
Academic Honor Societies The College has 12 academic departments that have instituted campus chapters of disciplinespecific national honor societies. Students admitted to these academic honor societies wear cords or medallions over their black gowns.
