Students and faculty from UMES joined two busloads of grassroots lobbyists from the Eastern Shore, including Cambridge Mayor Victoria Jackson Stanley, who descended on Washington, D.C., Sept. 14, for “Harriet on the Hill.” The group merged on Capitol Hill with supporters from Morgan State University, the town of Auburn, N.Y. and with descendants of Harriet Tubman; they numbered nearly 150. Supporters were advocating passage of federal legislation that would create a unique national historical park in honor of Tubman with two locations—one on Maryland’s Eastern Shore and one in Auburn, N.Y. Maryland is significant as the place where Tubman, or “Moses” as she was called, was born into slavery, escaped, led the Underground Railroad and became a Union spy in the Civil War. Auburn is where she lived in later years with her family, advocated for women’s suffrage and died at the age of 93. “Participating in the rally for U.S. Senate Bill S-247 was an eye-opening experience,” said LaBasha Alexander, a UMES English major. “There is an exceptional amount of history on the Eastern Shore. Being involved in ‘Harriet on the Hill’ day has shown me why a Tubman national park is necessary.” LOBBYIST / continued on page 2 Page 5 Dean Returns Philly Comic Con

We advise the administration on a variety of topics.” Important issues in 2011-12: The choice of a new president; all of the curricular changes to be made.
Leadership role: Chair, the UMES Faculty Assembly Photo by Jim Glovier
Two veteran members of the UMES faculty from the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science are serving in campus leadership and governance roles for the 2011-2011 academic year:
Name: Edward William Chapin Current faculty status: Assistant Professor, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science A UMES faculty member: since 1978 Previous leadership roles: “Chair of the UMES Senate and of the UMES Faculty Assembly several times over the years, and represented UMES at the legislatively-mandated statewide Council of University System Faculty for many years.” Earned degrees: B.S. in mathematics from Trinity College (Hartford, Conn.), 1965; M.A. (1967) and Ph.D. (1969) in mathematics from Princeton University, specializing in mathematical logic and foundations. Current classes: Introductory graduate courses in algorithm analysis, undergraduate computer courses in C#, and mathematics courses in complex analysis, in calculus at all levels, and in the foundations of mathematics and computer science The Faculty Assembly: All UMES faculty – full time, part time and adjunct – are members; each department generally selects a representative to attend meetings and keep colleagues informed about the body’s activities. Important issues in 2011-12: The Faculty Assembly recently addressed two proposed changes in academic policy: One concerns the 12 credits outside of the fall and spring semesters required of all undergraduates; the second concerns the evaluation of adjunct faculty. The assembly also will be discussing tenure and promotion policies, department chair selection policies, compliance with University System of Maryland policies on adjunct instructors, and the effects of initiatives in tutoring, remediation, teaching and retention on the learning by UMES students.

Residence Life spawns an author

Rhett Burden had something to say, so he decided he shouldn’t “be sitting on it” and should “put it down on paper” instead. The result—his first book “Brother, Please-A Guidebook to Life & Leadership:Tools for the Sane; Advice for the Crazy.” Inspired by a speaker at an entrepreneurial conference he attended in Lithonia, Ga., a year ago, Burden made the conscious decision not to be another one of those people who dream of writing a book or running a marathon, but never do it. Burden is a residential director and counselor in the Office of Residence Life on campus. His book is geared toward high school students and college graduates, but says “Really, it’s for anyone looking to better their situation (in life).” It is a book of discovery and reflection he hopes will inspire. What makes his book different from the plethora of self-help books? It’s the perspective he has on some fundamentals of life and leadership that he feels are assumed and yet aren’t covered in other books. “We shouldn’t assume that young people know these things,” Burden said. As for feedback he has received—Burden says it has been positive. “Readers have appreciated the fact that the book is not so dense that they get lost trying to understand different concepts and theories,” he said. “Mine is very simple, easy to understand and relate to.” Interested in checking it out? Burden says the book can be found at the Frederick Douglass Library and bookstore at UMES, area public libraries and online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Books and other book distributers.

Sequential arts students exhibit at Philly Comic Convention
Sequential arts students work feverishly on commissions for fans at the Philadelphia Comic Con Wizard World Convention. Pictured from left are Keith Elder, Stephanie Whitley and Rob Bennett.
Sequential arts students made their fourth appearance at the Philadelphia Comic Con Wizard World Convention this summer. “The event was hugely successful with students exhibiting and selling artwork in addition to talking to fans, editors, fellow artists and UMES alumni,” said Brad Hudson, instructor in the Department of Fine Arts at UMES, who organized the trip. Students faced the possibility of missing this year’s event due to funding. When they were able to go, they “made the most of this incredible pop culture, publishing phenomena,” said Hudson. They attended meet-and-greets at the invitation of Peter Katz, vice president of business affairs and development for Wizard World Inc. There, they met “wildly famous” comic artists Eric “EBAS” Basaldas, Tommy Castillo and Arthur Suydam along with media icons Vivica Fox, John Snyder and Pam Grier, a 2011 UMES Gala honoree. Recruitment efforts were made as students passed out brochures and shared what the university has to offer in the Department of Fine Arts. Hudson says his students plan to attend upcoming events at the Katsucon in Washington, D.C., in February, the spring Big Apple Con in New York and the Wizard World Convention in Philadelphia, Pa.

and motivation from my past and my family.” Iosia, now an outside hitter, has been MEAC Rookie of the Week four times on the strength of 200 kills and 137 digs in her first 12 matches. Bowens is team captain again and has recorded 59 kills with 91 digs and 13 aces. “Since I’ve been here, this is the most athletic team we have had,” Bowens said. “And once we can get the chemistry on the court, then we can really go far.”
It’s a long way from Long Beach, Calif. to Princess Anne – 2,775 miles to be exact – but that’s the crosscontinental journey two high-flying athletes have taken to play college volleyball at UMES. Senior outside hitter Zoe Bowens and Saitaua Iosia, a freshman right side/outside hitter, were former teammates for a year at Polytechnic High School in Long Beach, a diverse community with a tradition of producing successful collegiate and professional athletes. “We play year-round because it is always sunny,” Bowens said. “Whether it is indoors or (on the) beach, people are always playing.” Bowens came to the attention of UMES during an east coast swing playing for the Mizuno Long Beach club team. She also knew former Hawk Caylin Woodward, another Long Beach native, who finished her career as the only player in UMES history to record 1,000 kills and digs in her career. Being from California, “we had that connection,” Bowens said. “She told me about the school, and I Zoe talked to my father about it. We came out for a visit Bowens and I liked it, so I came here.” Bowens was team captain her junior year and led Division I in aces per set during the 2010 season. The Hawks won the MEAC Northern Division crown in each of her first three years. A year ago, Iosia played for a nationally ranked team at Long Beach Poly and was recruited by California schools. “I wanted to come to the East Coast,” Iosia said. “I know I’m going to be home the rest of my life, I want to use this opportunity (and) go to college somewhere else and explore these things before I start a new life.” Iosia heard about UMES from Zoe Bowens’ younger sister, Zana. “She mentioned that Zoe’s school was looking at me, and was thinking I wouldn’t mind going out there,” said Iosia, who came on a visit and now plays a key role for the Hawks. “In my family, no one has graduated from college, something would happen like they would miss home and they would drop out,” Iosia said. “For me, I want to graduate and to grow because I have a long way to go, that would make my family proud.” Coach Don Metil says players from Long Beach have high-level skills before they step foot on campus. “They start playing volleyball at a young Saitaua Iosia age compared to some places, where your first introduction into organized volleyball is not until ninth grade,” he said.

State senator speaks at PA Week lecture at UMES State Sen. John Astle (DDistrict 30, Anne Arundel County) spoke at the university as part of National Physician Assistants’ Week, Oct. 6-12. Astle’s presentation, “Experience with Medical Evacuation in Vietnam,” kicked-off the week’s events on Oct. 6. “The community heard real wartime experiences that impacted our current medical model— military and civilian—including the creation of the Physician Assistant profession,” said Dr. Donna Parker, assistant professor in UMES’ PA Department. Astle was a U.S. Marine Corps helicopter pilot, who saw active duty in Vietnam and the Persian Gulf War. He earned multiple decorations, including the Legion of Merit, two Purple Hearts, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Presidential Service Badge and 31 air medals. For nearly 17 years, he has served Marylanders in the State Senate. He is currently vice-chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, where he plays a key role in shaping state policy on energy, healthcare, banking and insurance. He was joined by retired Capt. Bill Dial of Easton, a hospital corpsman who provided emergency medical care in the helicopter piloted by Astle to
evacuate wounded combatants in Vietnam. Dial later received a degree in hospital administration and served as a Medical Service Corps officer. PA Week, Darlene JacksonBowen, chair of UMES’ PA Department says, serves to focus attention on the significant impact physician assistants make in health care and to bring awareness to the profession. “PAs practice across a range of medical settings and specialties as a vital part of the health care team,” Jackson-Bowen said. “They add a generalist perspective to the care they provide, identifying early warning signs and symptoms of chronic illness, which can become more dangerous and costly.” UMES physician assistant students disseminated breast cancer awareness information on Oct. 6 in the lobby of Hazel Hall as a community outreach project. They also recently participated in Wicomico County’s Relay for Life at Shorebirds Stadium and the Susan G. Komen “Race for the Cure” event.
