A season to remember The last time the UMES men’s basketball team won at least 18 games in the regular season, a first-class postage stamp was 10 cents, milk sold for an average of $1.39 and the average price of a gallon of gasoline was 53 cents. That was in 1974, the same year Richard Nixon became the only person to resign the presidency. The 2014-15 MEAC pre-season poll projected the Hawks would finish 11th in the 13team league. Oops. They finished third. That’s because UMES was led by 2014-15 MEAC Coach of the Year, Bobby Collins, who in his first year infused men’s basketball with energy, enthusiasm and victories not seen in four decades. Collins guided the Hawks to an 11-5 MEAC mark and 18-13 overall finish, greatly improving upon the team’s last-place finish a year ago with just four MEAC victories. The Hawks also went undefeated in six games this season with other Division 1 teams from Maryland, the only team to accomplish that feat. HOOPS / continued on page 6

Gia Bautista, a Wicomico Middle School eighth-grader, successfully Front row, runner-up Erin Welch (#37), winner Gia Bautista (#43) and second runner-up defended her Maryland Eastern Shore Regional Spelling Bee championship Gracious Mudoh were the top spellers at this past Saturday at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. the 2015 Maryland Eastern Shore Regional Spelling Bee. Gia, the 2014 winner, outdueled Erin Welch in a marathon “spelldown” to repeat as champion. Welch was the 2014 runner-up. Each spelled some three dozen words with seeming ease before Erin tripped up on “plummet.” Gia accurately spelled “curate”, positioning herself to win the event by spelling one more word: “blustery.” She nailed it and the audience in the Fitzgerald Center for the Performing Arts erupted. Gia and Erin went 27 rounds a year ago before Gia emerged the winner. “It’s a relief,” Gia said. “I really wanted to win again, but I was a little nervous.” Erin, a 6th grader at St. Francis de Sales Catholic School, was gracious in finishing behind her friend for the second year in a row. She hugged the winner and offered congratulations. “Maybe next year,” Erin, 11, said with a shrug and smile. Gia, 13, qualified to represent the lower Eastern Shore at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington May 24-29. In addition to an all-expense paid trip to the event awarded by UMES, Gia received a medallion, a year’s subscription to Encyclopedia Britannica online and Merriam-Webster’s Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged.

UMES’ Campus Kitchens group at USG Wins Prize for Most Donors

UMES hospitality-tourism students were among volunteers from 24 colleges and universities that participated in a “Raise the Dough” online fundraising challenge in late February, together bringing in more than $56,000 to benefit hunger relief efforts. The challenge was hosted by The Campus Kitchens Project, a national organization that empowers student volunteers to fight hunger in their communities. The UMES Campus Kitchens’ chapter at The Universities at Shady Grove engaged 159 donors, the most of any organization in the competition and won a $750 incentive bonus to go along with the $5,020 members raised during the week-long event. The UMES-USG students “gave away” cupcakes on campus, hoping that strategy would raise awareness and inspire recipients to volunteer a donation, according to chef instructor Susan Callahan. During the week of February 20, Campus Kitchens groups across the country competed against one another to raise the most money to support their hunger fighting efforts. Cash prizes totaling $2500 were awarded to Campus Kitchens that raised the most money or involved the largest number of individual donors through their online campaign. The Campus Kitchen at Washington, DC raised $12,715, winning an additional $1,000 prize for the most money raised. Campus Kitchens’ chapters like the one at USG lead efforts to combat food waste and hunger by collecting surplus food from on campus dining halls, community gardens, restaurants, and grocery stores and transforming it into healthy meals. A year ago, Campus Kitchens across the country rescued more than 823,549 pounds of food and served 293,963 meals to 12,006 clients.

Chefs and Farmers’ Summit builds relationships UMES Hospitality and Tourism Management students at the Universities of Shady Grove in Rockville, Md. participated in an event, “Chefs & Farmers’ Summit,” Feb 24. Cosponsored by the Montgomery County Food Council, this event afforded chefs from local, high visibility establishments in the D.C. area a chance to network with local farmers. Students such as Adnan Chaudry served as kitchen assistants and conducted interviews with chefs and farmers to learn about the challenges and rewards buying from local and sustainable suppliers. Chef Gary Rehault of Bon Appetite Catering, left, is pictured with Susan Callahan, chef instructor of UMES’ Hospitality and Tourism Management program at Shady Grove. “It was one of the highlights of my career,” she said. “The students were so engaged; they really connected with all the businesses present.” Students also created a report that was shared with the Montgomery County Department of Economic Development food council “to offer some basic metrics about local food and local businesses.”

Students see their role in disaster preparedness Donning fresh white coats, 122 pharmacy, physician assistant and kinesiology students at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore gathered in early February to participate in a mass medication dispensing exercise. They welcomed Salisbury University nursing students as collaborative partners. Aside from being students, they all held something else in common—their ensuing (POD) exercise and demonstration is an annual event held as part of the pharmacy school curriculum introducing students to the public health roles of “emergency preparedness” and “emergency response” within a community. The day began with a talk from Dorothy Sheu of the Maryland Responds Medical Reserve Corps, who described how volunteers of many backgrounds can help their families, friends and communities. She described some common events where public health may rely on volunteers: during a Strategic National Stockpile exercise, at a health station in a state shelter or within a POD site during an actual emergency. Dr. Larry Hogue, assistant dean of professional affairs at UMES’ School of Pharmacy, led the POD exercise. He utilized his “POD Squad,” a group of student pharmacists who have had previous experience with POD operations, to act as facilitators. The “POD Squad” role-played, demonstrating all of the POD stations and flow, including registration, screening, dispensing, consultation and special needs stations. The participants then jumped in and role-played at each station, switching stations six times to get a feel for each POD function. Barbara Logan, emergency preparedness coordinator for the Somerset Health Department, explained the exercise’s significance: “Providing mass medication dispensing in a county of 26,470 residents in a critical health

emergency is challenging. This exercise is two-fold in that it provides an opportunity to recruit MD Responds volunteers and provides them with immediate training on one of our most critical components in emergency preparedness. I would feel confident calling on trained MD Responds volunteers to assist rather than relying on pulling people in with no prior experience in the midst of an emergency.” At the close of the day, 74 percent of survey respondents said that they would register with the Maryland Responds MRC. Recruiting local professional students can answer to immediate volunteer needs in Somerset County, but can also provide experience that they can share after graduation. Through multi-agency partnering in a small county, almost 50 new leaders stepped up to protect their communities in the future. Contributed by G.

Fine Arts faculty

David Brame, new to UMES this academic year as an associate professor of visual arts, is an accomplished comic book illustrator. His primary research is in the use of comic books “as educational and health resources.” His most recent work is in the form of graphic poetic novels. Brame’s “SHAME,” a 10-page graphic poem in his anthology, “Artist’s Against Police Brutality,” was recently accepted by Rosarium Publishing for print this spring. The autobiographical piece details a negative encounter he and his father had with police—a timely topic in light of recent news events. Since joining UMES’ Department of Fine Arts, Brame has completed numerous solo and collaborative projects. A six-issue comic mini-series, “TRAUMATIZED,” which he illustrated, has been optioned by Action Lab Comics and is due for publication this fall. He also had five short comics published in four different comic anthologies and developed an outdoor installation video piece for Toronto Pride’s Nuit Rose Festival in June. The piece is a commentary on the violence against transgendered persons.

Professional association recognizes UMES dean Dr. Cynthia J. Boyle, the UMES School of Pharmacy and Health Professions’ interim dean, will receive the 2015 Daniel B. Smith Practice Excellence Award from the American Pharmacists Association at the organization’s annual meeting March 27-30 in San Diego. Named for APhA’s first president, the Smith Award is the organization’s premier practice honor that recognizes a pharmacy practitioner in any practice setting, who has distinguished him or herself and the profession by outstanding performance.

Brame’s work also focuses on African, Carib and black heritage to experimental travelogue and sketch diaries. He received a bachelor’s degree from Columbus College of Art and Design and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Cincinnati. A documentary short film by Will Rose, a faculty member in the Department of English and Modern Languages, was selected earlier this month for a “Gold Award” by the Documentary & Short International Movie Award

competition based in Indonesia. “My Bridge” is a short film tribute to New York’s Brooklyn Bridge, which Rose shot in 2008 and completed in 2013. The film also was screened this past August at the 2014 Capital City Black Film Festival in Austin, Texas.

UMES women named in Top 100 Drs. Veronique Diriker, UMES’ director of development, and Peggy Naleppa, a UMES Board of Visitors member and president of Peninsula Regional Medical Center, are among 11 women to be inducted into The Daily Record’s 2015 “Circle of Excellence” for its Top 100 Women award. The Circle of Excellence award recognizes those women who have been named to the Top 100 Women by the Baltimore newspaper for the third and final time. Some 400 women were nominated for the award this year with 70 of the 100 selected as first-time recipients. “This year’s Maryland’s Top 100 Women are extraordinary. They go above and beyond in everything they do. They lead companies, create change, break barriers, chart new territory and make a difference at home, at work and in their communities,” publisher Suzanne Fischer-Huettner said. “They inspire those around them to be the best they can be. The Daily Record is pleased to honor them.” The awards program, celebrating its 20th anniversary, will be held May 4 at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore. Nominees were asked to complete an application outlining their educational and career history, professional and community involvement, corporate and nonprofit board memberships and mentoring experience. They were encouraged to submit letters of recommendation from those who are familiar with their accomplishments professionally, in the community and through mentoring. A panel of judges comprised of business professionals and past Maryland’s Top 100 Women winners reviewed the applications and selected this year’s honorees.

A closer look at feminism The word feminism should be looked at through binoculars. I think feminism is about perception and we need to take a closer look. I am a feminist. Yes, I shave and no, I do not hate men. Would it surprise you if I told you every feminist isn’t the same? We each have our own definition of feminism, for one; second, what may be inappropriate to you may not be to me. You might be surprised to learn that ironically, some feminist can be just as sexist toward other women as they are to some men. Sometimes women can put other women who are mothers into a box. For example, the model Amber Rose is a mother and posted a picture of herself in a bikini. She received so much backlash with comments like, “you’re a mother you shouldn’t be wearing that.” Many of these comments were from women. We say as feminists how it’s our body, we should be able to wear what we want. However, with instances like this, some women sound like the sexist men we all know. She is a mother, but that does not mean she should have to wear an apron or dress “conservatively.” Did we forget that mothers are still people, too? Why do we still have this stereotype that mothers should dress a particular way — as if we were still living in the 20th century. I interviewed 11 women. Six of them considered themselves feminists; four answered somewhat; and one said no. One woman said, “sex sells” when dressing in work environments where the dress code is less conservative. I often wonder why some people praise a woman’s body only in certain scenarios, but other times say she should “put some clothes on.” “We don’t see it as a problem with a police officer wearing the same uniform everyday, because that is the required uniform,” UMES student Tilisna Fenelus pointed out. So why do women who wear the required uniform for places like Hooters, bars and casinos get judged so often? Today I feel there are issues that are not yet conquered with feminism. I feel some women still limit their thoughts on what we as women should be. I think some women are still living in the past century, not realizing women have rights now that we didn’t have in the past. These are rights that should be praised by other women — not bashed. “We should demand better and protect other women,” said Kathryn Barrett-Gaines, a professor at University of Maryland Eastern Shore, on feminist issues not yet conquered. “Feminism will be conquered when a woman can live the way she desires,” added Tahja Cropper, a UMES student. I believe some women put expectations on other women the same way some men do. I wonder is there really a such thing as being “ conservative” — or is what we have allowed ourselves to believe based on what men think women should look like? Can you really call yourself a feminist if you judge other women just like the men against whom you protest? If we turn the knob on those binoculars, we would know there are more issues than meet the eye. Briyana Hubbard is a senior who is passionate about world issues. This column first appeared in the Daily Times.

Technology student receives award

Smith also was presented a Governor’s Citation recognizing his “success in demonstrating scholarship in … undergraduate studies in technology education and meeting high teacher candidate standards in technology and engineering education.” Dr. Tom Loveland, a UMES professor based at the Baltimore Museum of Industry, is also pictured.

Michael Taylor “We are excited to have Michael Taylor ’14, on our team to help UMES engage our alumni of the past decade. Michael will make the case for support and demonstrate the power and importance of each gift, large or small, to our students’ success. Michael is the ideal spokesperson to help us deliver the message; he is a creative communicator who has benefited from student aid and believes strongly in giving back. I look forward to his valuable contributions to our team.” Stephen McDaniel Vice President Institutional Advancement

SPELLING BEE / continued from cover

The 44 rounds needed to identify Gia as the area’s top speller was the longest in the three-year history of the competition sponsored by UMES. In addition to the traditional challenge of spelling words, competitors occasionally had to show they knew a word’s meaning by answering a multiple-choice question. The national competition now features a computer test requiring competitors to demonstrate they know definitions of words in addition to spelling them correctly. Experience from previous regional bees proved crucial as the 2015 field of 43 competitors narrowed to a half dozen. Among that group were Gia’s 11-year-old sister, Ava, representing North Salisbury Elementary School, and Gracious Mudoh, a 5th grader from Princess Anne Elementary School. Gracious’ million-dollar smile and confident stride to the microphone won him the audience’s admiration before bowing out in round 19 when he slipped up spelling mozzarella. The 10-year-old was second runner-up.

Cade Stone’s self-deprecating approach to the 2015 Maryland Eastern Shore Regional Spelling Bee drew laughter from the audience.

Women’s Bowling captures seventh MEAC title

League prognosticators also failed to project any UMES player earning all-conference honors in the preseason poll. It turns out a trio of Hawks were top performers; senior Mike Myers and junior Dominique Elliott earned 3rd team honors while freshman Ryan Andino was named to the “all-rookie” squad. Andino also won “Freshman of the Year.” Andino scored 229 points (7.4 avg.), grabbed 32 rebounds, handed out 21 assists and had 16 steals in 31 games. He ranked second in the MEAC in 3-point field goal average, hitting 43 percent of his shots (62-of-146). He earned Rookie of the Week honors in December and finished the 2014-15 regular season with a career-high 18 points against Delaware State. The Lady Hawks finished the MEAC regular season at 8-8 and 11-16 overall. A bright spot on that squad was redshirt junior Alexis Udoji, who the conference named “Defensive Player of the Year.” She also earned third-team allconference honors. Udoji was a two-time MEAC Defensive Player of the Week honoree who hauled down 179 rebounds, including 99 on the defensive end, along with 49 blocked shots and 30 steals in 22 games. Her seasonhigh 12 rebounds came against Virginia Tech and she had a season-high six blocks against Georgetown. Her best scoring game came against Monmouth, when she tallied 22 points on 9-of-10 shooting. The Hawks singled out for regular-season accolades were scheduled to be honored before their first games in the MEAC tourney, which ends Saturday.

UMES placed 3rd in the All-Girls division of the 2015 MEAC basketball tournament’s cheerleading competition.

The UMES women’s bowling team captured its seventh Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Northern Division title earlier this month as the Hawks won nine of 10 matches to improve their conference record to 29-1 on the season and 74-39 overall. The team followed that win with a strong performance in a national tournament this past weekend, including a win over Nebraska, the NCAA’s top-rated squad. The Hawks also beat the fourth, ninth and 10th Thashaina ranked teams in the Seraus event that was shortened because of travel problems caused by a severe winter storm. This coming weekend, the bowlers compete in the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference championship tournament in Elmwood Park, N.J., then set their sights on the MEAC Championships, where they will be the favorite to win the university’s eighth conference title. The Hawks technically clinched the MEAC Northern Conference title on the first day of the two-day tournament in Towson, Md., after winning four of five in team games. Delaware State claimed runner-up honors, falling one pin short of matching the Hawks’ total of 1,009 pins. Senior Victoria Jones of Baltimore was comfortable bowling near home, leading UMES with a 1,097 pin fall to average over a 219 on the first day of competition. Her 249 against Morgan State was a season high and the high game of the day for any Hawk. Junior Thashaina Seraus (Oranjestad, Aruba) wasn’t far behind with a 1,080 pin count, to average a 216. Her 236 against Howard was the day’s best pin total. Seniors Mariana Alvarado (Leon, Mexico), Valerie Riggin (Vista, Calif.) and Tatiana Munoz (Ibague Tolima, Colombia) were all solid, putting up pin falls of 1,070, 1,061 and 1,033 respectively. With the division title wrapped up, UMES rolled through Coppin State (989-780), Morgan State (1057-915), Hampton (1116-805), #20 Delaware State (1056-1043) and Howard (1087-940) on day two. “We bowled well and we bowled with confidence,” said coach Kayla Bandy. “We put up some impressive numbers.” The Hawks are hoping strong showings in the ECAC event and at the MEAC championship March 20-22 will earn them an invitation to compete in the national title tournament, where they have been a fixture in recent years.

Workshop on law enforcement encounters held UMES’ counseling services, NAACP chapter, and Men Achieving Dreams Through Education male retention initiative and the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. Princess Anne Alumnae chapter co-sponsored a program to inform students and the community on helpful tips for dealing with law enforcement encounters. “Are You Detaining Me or Am I Free to go?” took place Feb. 24 in the university’s Student Services Center. Dave Paul, a UMES student, opened the program with his poem, “Song of the City at Night.” The Rev. Andrew Turner, an adjunct faculty member at UMES who has served in several law enforcement positions, addressed an audience of some 80 participants. Attendees viewed a video short on “Ten Rules For Dealing With Police” and an interactive panel discussion was moderated by WMDTABC 47 reporter Jobina Fortson. Panelists were Turner; Ernest J. Leatherbury Jr., UMES’ chief of police; Kimberly Harris, UMES NAACP’s student representative; Dr. Kirkland Hall, UMES NAACP advisor; and Dionte’ Salvi, Mr. UMES. The program sought to guide participants in exercising their rights and responsibilities involving law enforcement incidents. A pamphlet, “What To Do If You Are Stopped By The Police,” also was distributed.

Pharmacy students’ activism draws national attention

T HE U M E S MI S S I O N

UMES was among five pharmacy schools recognized by the CEO of the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) for earning the highest rates of participation in the Pharmacists Provide Care Campaign, which advocates for pharmacist provider status. In his February 2015 campaign update, Tom Menighan saluted the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Presbyterian College in South Carolina, Samford University in Alabama, the University of Puerto Rico and Wilkes University in Pennsylvania. Each school had participation from more than 20% of student pharmacists on their respective campuses, according to Menighan. “The Pharmacists Provide Care campaign is grateful for the tremendous support from student pharmacists,” Menighan said. “You are the future of the profession and the people who will be most affected by the passage of provider status legislation.” Menighan praised the pharmacy students’ outreach efforts and their visits to Capitol Hill, which helped encourage members of Congress to become co-sponsors of federal provider status. Dr. William Harbester, UMES’ APhA-ASP chapter adviser, highlighted three students’ efforts. Harbester praised chapter president Salematou Traore, policy vice president Bart Z. Anderson, and president-elect Shannon R. Riggins for their efforts to lead the campaign at UMES. They initiated a Pharmacists Provide Care Campaign sign-up drive, which prompted 40 percent of the pharmacy students on campus to register on the website, Harbester told Pharmacy Times. UMES’s APhA-ASP chapter also set up booths at health fairs to encourage sign-ups from other students and patients served at the fairs. UMES has been involved in the postcard challenge to remind legislators about the importance of pharmacists. Harbester also noted his students recently participated in Maryland Legislative Day, which revolved around discussions of provider status with state legislators.
