2010 UMES Winter Commencement UMES Gala tickets on sale “Hollywood on the Shore,” the theme for the 2011 UMES Gala, promises to provide another star-studded soiree to be remembered as one of the “Best Parties on the Shore,” a phrase coined by UMES President Thelma B. Thompson. The event takes place Saturday, March 5, 2011 at 6 p.m. in the university’s Student Services Center. Tickets go on sale Monday, Dec. 6, with two purchasing options—an Oscar ticket for $150 and a VIP ticket for $500. “The response was phenomenal last year,” said Dr. Veronique Diriker, director of development at UMES and event coordinator. “Tickets sold out within a couple of weeks. We expect a similar reaction this year. My advice to people interested in joining the party is not to delay in purchasing a ticket.” Diriker expects a list of celebrity guests to be announced at the beginning of the New Year. The 2010 celebrity guest list included Patty Duke, Lou Gosset Jr., B.B. King,, Dionne Warwick and Herschel Walker. “We have our ‘Hollywood connection’ working diligently to bring to the Eastern Shore a slate of celebrities to please our guests,” Diriker said. The Gala is the university’s signature fundraising event. It is in its 12th year and getting better all the time. Some 450 guests and 175 community, university and student volunteers made the 2010 event an unprecedented success. “Last year, thanks to the support of our sponsors and guests, the Gala raised about $280,000 toward the university’s Campaign for Academic Excellence,” said Diriker. “The funds benefit need and merit-based student scholarships.” The Oscar ticket includes gourmet hors d’oeuvres, a four-course dinner in the midst of celebrity guests, dancing to live music, souvenir photos and live and silent auctions. The VIP ticket adds a reception with celebrities at the Courtyard Marriott in Ocean City the night before the Gala and a special reception with celebrities one hour prior to the Gala. For more information or to purchase tickets, contact Diriker at 410651-8142 or by emailing vdiriker@umes.edu.
Winter graduation exercises will be Friday, Dec. 17, in the William P. Hytche Athletic Center. The 14th annual ceremony begins at 10 a.m. UMES anticipates awarding approximately 250 degrees, including 20 John Wilson master’s degrees and eight doctoral degrees. The university will present honorary degrees to Atlanta businessman Thomas W. Dortch Jr., retired professional golfer Renee Powell and Jeanette L. Brown, a senior administrator in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The commencement speaker will be John S. Wilson, executive director of the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Appointed by U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan in 2009, Wilson works with a panel that advises President Obama and serves as liaison between the White House and the nation’s historically black institutions. Wilson taught at Harvard, worked as a fundraiser for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and most recently was a senior administrator at George Washington University. After graduating from Morgan State University, Brown moved to the Washington, D.C., area, where she has steadily climbed the career ladder as a federal civil servant over the past three decades. Brown is currently director of the EPA’s Office of Small Business Programs. She also holds a master of divinity degree and is an ordained minister in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Powell is a women’s sports pioneer. She is the second African-American to play on the Ladies Professional Golf Association tour and has been an ambassador for the sport much of her life. She is the head golfing professional at Clearview Golf Club, a continued on page 7

Seniors show off artistic talent at Mosely Gallery this month Senior art majors at UMES have spent the last four years honing their skills in graphic design, “funny book” art, mixed media, painting and photography. Now, these young artists will have a chance to exhibit their work, as part of the “Graduating Senior Show,” at the Mosely Gallery on campus. The show’s opening reception will be held on Thursday, Dec. 9, from 4-6 p.m. “This graduating senior show promises to be an exciting event for UMES, and we hope that the community will also be able to enjoy the show,” said Solomon Isekeije, interim chair of the Department of Fine Arts. Participating artists in this year’s exhibit are Rob Bennett, Marcus Fletcher, Chris Green, Angel Timmons and Kason Washington. Bennett will be the first student to

graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in the university’s new concentration, sequential arts, also known as comic book art. Bennett has featured his work at comic book conventions in New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. Fletcher, who pursued a degree in applied design/graphic illustration, creates work that focuses on natural realism or “the worlds of fantasy, sci-fi and the macabre.” A common theme in his artwork is the color black, which represents the ominous void of life and certain death. Green also majored in graphic illustration. However, unlike Fletcher, his “graffiti-style” work is displayed in bright colors. His artwork is geared toward those who have been rejected because they thought or acted against the norm of society. Timmons, an aspiring advertisement creative director for the NFL, plans to continue her studies at the University of Art and Design in Atlanta, Ga., after she graduates this month. During her four years at UMES, Timmons has served as president of the Envision Art Club continued on page 3

A junior studying rehabilitation services at UMES, Lamar Clark relishes a chance to “spread the word of God through song” during the university’s Gospel Choir Revival Dec. 7-11. “The choir looks forward to this event because it provides an outlet for those of us who are interested in gospel music,” said Clark, a three-year participant, who now serves as president of the choir. The annual revival – which kicks off with an “Open Mic Night” on Tuesday, Dec.7 – features performances by community gospel choirs, such as the Saint John Family Worship Center, James M. Bennett High School and “Second Generation” of the Eastern Shore. The UMES Gospel Choir Step Team and Dance Ministry also plan to take the stage.
“We enjoy working with other choirs in the community because it gives us an opportunity to celebrate and minister in song,” said Clark, who helped coordinate the events under the guidance of Dr. Della Dameron-Johnson. Free and open to the public, revival performances scheduled on Wednesday, Dec. 8, through Friday, Dec. 10, will start at 7 p.m. in the Ella Fitzgerald Center for the Performing Arts. The UMES Gospel Choir’s concert – themed “Under Construction: God Is Not Finished With Me Yet” – will culminate festivities on Saturday, Dec. 11, at 5 p.m. in the Center for the Performing Arts.

Couple gives back to their alma mater Two retired educators who are UMES alumni are starting The Loretta and Daniel Savoy Fund for Human Ecology to help future students defray tuition bills. The $10,000 gift from the Salisbury couple is one of the latest donations Daniel and Loretta Savoy toward the $14 million campaign to raise money for scholarships. Loretta Savoy graduated from UMES in 1974 with a bachelor’s degree in home economics. She spent 37 years working in public schools, first as a home economics and child development teacher, then as Wicomico County schools’ food and nutrition supervisor. “As alumni of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, we were the first in our immediate families to pursue a college education,” Loretta Savoy said. “We received much assistance and care while attending. Our goal is to continue to give to the educational institution that gave much to us.” She credits her high school home economics teacher, who was a Maryland State alumna, with encouraging her to attend college. “She was such a great role model for me at that time in my life,” said Loretta Savoy, who grew up in Annapolis. Her husband, Daniel, is a 1967 graduate who earned a bachelor’s degree in agriculture when UMES was known as Maryland State College. Daniel Savoy spent four decades as an educator in Anne Arundel and Wicomico counties. He was principal of James M. Bennett High School in Salisbury from 1986 to 1997 and spent the last 10 years of his career as Wicomico County’s science coordinator. The couple belongs to Dr. Thelma B. Thompson’s “President’s Club,” a group whose members make annual $1,000 contributions to help with institutional needs like scholarships. The Savoys recently decided to do more to help future generations of students get a college education that served them well as adults. “We know it is important to provide assistance to students who might otherwise be unable to pursue their educational aspirations,” said Daniel Savoy, an Upper Marlboro, Md., native. The fund, once fully endowed, will provide need-based financial aid for students pursuing degrees in child development, dietetics, nutrition, family and consumer sciences, family and consumer sciences education and fashion merchandising—areas within the Department of Human Ecology. The Savoys’ generosity “will go a long way in providing much needed financial support for (our) students,” said Dr. Nina Bennett, chair of UMES’ Department of Human Ecology. “This scholarship will be the difference between a student deciding to drop out because of finances or staying in school and graduating.” “It is my sincere hope,” Dr. Bennett said, “that other alumni will see the significant impact of this financial gift and choose to follow the example set by Daniel and Loretta Savoy.” The Savoy Fund is accepting additional gifts, according to Kimberly Dumpson J.D., the university’s director of alumni affairs and planned giving. UMES is in the final year of a seven-year campaign to raise student scholarship funds. To make a gift to this fund or the campaign, contact Dumpson at 410-6517686 or by email at kdumpson@umes.edu.
University receives $10,000 gift for The Arts and Professions
Owen Johnson
The School of the Arts and Professions at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore received a recent $10,000 boost in the form of an alumni gift to its Dean’s Discretionary Fund. Owen Johnson, a 1969 alumnus from the school when it was known as Maryland State College, made the gift—a pledge commitment. The fund opened in 2008 with a $1,000 gift by Maryland State College Classes of 1958-63. Their goal was to provide funds for faculty and student support and for special projects for the department at the dean’s discretion. “Mr. Johnson’s commitment to provide financial support to UMES is commendable,” said Dr. Rita Lamb, interim dean of the School of the Arts and Professions. “His gift enhances our ability to provide the excellent educational experiences necessary for student success and competitiveness in the 21st century.” "Even in these uncertain economic times, university alumni continue to believe in the power of philanthropy and remain moved by the unselfish desire to return back to this university some measure of opportunity that was given to them. As a result of their continued investment and commitment to giving back, we move forward,” said Kimberly Dumpson J.D., director of alumni affairs and planned giving at UMES.

She calls her unique way of expressing colors in her work, “Color Exspression.” “It lets people feel that everything does not have to look natural to feel realistic," Timmons said. Washington is a muralist who will earn his degree in applied design and illustration. At age 10, he completed his first mural at Halstead Academy in Baltimore, which was also featured in a local newspaper. In college, Washington’s art has been exhibited at the Mosely Gallery, featured at “La Petite Fleur” shop in Princess Anne and displayed at area fashion shows and other art venues. Washington, the vice president of UMES’ Envision Art Club and a Mosely Gallery intern, is currently developing designs for organizations on and off campus. The Graduating Senior Show will be display at the Mosely Gallery of Art until Thursday, Dec. 16. Hours of operation are MondayThursday, from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and Friday, from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. The Mosely Gallery is free and open to the public.

Three UMES seniors scheduled to graduate later this month got a rare opportunity Nov. 11 to display their considerable talent for creating art in an unorthodox setting – a local sports bar. In collaboration with businessman Jerry Bivens, professional photographer Joey Gardner converted Oscar’s Americana Grille and Sports Bar into a bohemian art gallery for one night. On display were the works of Christopher Green, Angel Washington and Kason Washington. Gardner met Washington this past spring and struck up a conversation about promoting “town-and-gown” activities. The two agreed informally to work on staging an art show featuring student work. Gardner was impressed by the quality of Washington’s art and that of his classmates. Each hung 10 of their favorite pieces at Oscar’s and then reveled in the praise from townspeople and fellow students. Green’s mother, father and sister traveled from Virginia Beach to attend the show. “Their work is just beautiful – absolutely gorgeous,” said Jennifer Sullivan, a Pennsylvania native who now lives in Princess Anne. Pam Lower of Princess Anne gazed in amazement at Green’s spot-on reproduction of Rembrandt’s self-portrait. “I don’t know art, but that (oil
painting) is really, really good. I can’t believe college kids did this,” she said. Green, a graphic illustration major, picked UMES after attending a science and technology summer camp while in high school. “It just seemed like a close-knit community.” Timmons, who grew up in Baltimore, dabbled in art before college, but had no formal training until she enrolled at UMES. “I thought it was going to be really hard,” the applied design major said. “I ended up one of the top (art department) students. I’m really proud of that.” Solomon Isekeije, UMES’ interim art department chairman, said Timmons, Green and Washington and their peers might be among the university’s best-kept secrets. “We hope to change that,” Isekeije said. “This is a start.” Washington, who grew up in Towson and bears a resemblance to a young Eddie Murphy, called the one-night show “one of the most exciting nights of my life.” Friends and strangers heaped praise on the applied design major as they admired his black-and-white pencil drawing of a male lion one observer said looked like the work of someone twice Washington’s age.

Ethnic Festival celebrates diversity
Students from India, from left, are Spoorthy Venkat, Nikhil Putta, Rakesh Dontula and Lakshmi Potlapalli.
UMES’ annual Ethnic Festival attracted its usual enthusiastic gathering in the Student Services Center ballroom, which was filled with music, dance and the aroma of international dishes that you can’t find on campus dining hall menus. The Nov. 18 event, sponsored by UMES’ Center for International Education under the direction of Dr. Sarah Acquah, is organized in conjunction with International Education Week. UMES is the academic home this year to 193 students from 33 nations, according to the university’s office of institutional research. That diversity was not lost on native-born students and their international classmates, who enjoyed a midday respite from the challenge of finishing academic work in the fall semester. Some of the international students donned traditional dress from their home nations, adding a bit of visual flair to the ballroom. Near the entrance, Isis Amaye and Rosemary Adurumokumo, both freshmen from Nigeria, dished up servings of chicken and palm kernels (banga) and tomato, spinach and beans (egusi) to fellow students. They had little trouble giving away samples. “This is wonderful,” Amaye said. “I’m really enjoying it.” Adurumokumo says her experience at UMES has been “great” so far, although adjusting to the weather of North America has been challenging. Amaye said she too is enjoying her experience as a student, but has noticed some American food is “too sweet.” Nutritionists worried about obesity would agree. COMMENCEMENT continued from cover

Sophomore John Kahler visited the festival to gather information for an assignment on cultural diversity for a criminal justice class. “It’s great seeing all the different styles of dress and food in one place,” said Kahler, who is from Hartford County. “You don’t get this back home.” Kahler said his favorite food was a Bangladeshi dish. Eden Park, a junior, was born in America but traces his family roots to Korea. He served helpings of bulgogi – a beef, peppers and carrot dish over rice. The 2010 festival was his third and he said he participates as a favor to Dr. Acquah, whom he says “works very hard to make this a success.” Spoorthy Raj Guram Venkat and Divya Kommineni wore traditional attire from India and smiled at visitors to their table who were there to sample chicken biryani, a dish featuring rice, cloves, cinnamon, cumin, coriander power and cardamom. Both saw participation in the Ethnic Festival as a way to demonstrate that people from India “are very friendly.” Sophomores Chelby Mosley of Salisbury and Terrica Holden of Temperanceville, Va., said the festival provided an opportunity to be gastronomically adventuresome. “I’m not too much of a daredevil when it comes to different food,” Mosley said. “But I like the baked chicken” offered at the table representing Guinea. “Plus, I like to see how (international students) dress and do different dances.
