50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s assassination “I was in the Army stationed in Verdun, France. I will never forget the reaction of the French citizens with whom I came into contact. For several days after the assassination, it was not unusual to see a French person, with tears in their eyes, hug an American passing by and express their grief.” Robert A. Harleston esq., interim chair, criminal justice

Maryland colleges tackle excessive drinking State health and higher education leaders recently announced the formation of the Maryland Collaborative to Reduce College Drinking and Related Problems. The group generated a report outlining what colleges are doing to address the issue, a “best practices” guide and an interactive website. The collaborative brought together presidents of 10 institutions and was hosted by the University System of Maryland Chancellor Brit Kirwan and the Johns Hopkins University President Ronald J. Daniels. The University of Maryland Eastern Shore is one of the 10 institutions. Dr. Anthony Jenkins, vice president for student affairs and enrollment management, was UMES’ chief liaison to the collaborative. “The risks and consequences of high-risk drinking on college campuses are monumental and must remain a top priority,” Jenkins said, adding “through more comprehensive data collection, we have seen an increase in alcohol-related issues on our campus.” According to the report, Maryland college students drink (alcohol) at levels similar to the national average, though the highest risk drinkers in Maryland appear to drink more heavily and are less likely to use services than their peers nationally. In Maryland, 19 percent of underage and 22 percent of 21- to 24-year-old college DRINKING continued on page 6

Steering Dogfish Head Alehouse into the marketing fast lane Like many teenagers who worked in restaurants, Sam Petrella didn’t think much of his stints as a server or line cook. Those were jobs, not the beginning of a career in the multibillion dollar restaurant industry. Then Petrella enrolled in UMES’ Hotel and Restaurant Management program at the Universities at Shady Grove in Montgomery County, embarking on a journey that landed him in the driver’s seat of a local restaurant’s head-turning “AleBus” venture. “I’m indebted to UMES and USG for the opportunity this has given me,” Petrella said. “Everything we did in the classroom was real life. The fact it worked out for me the way it did is something I am thankful for. It’s turned out to be great story.” His story starts with a senior-year project. The assignment presented him with a challenge to develop a marketing plan for a restaurateur seeking a way to grow his business, Dogfish Head Alehouse, without investing in bricks and mortar. If “Dogfish Head” sounds familiar, it’s because the Washington-area restaurant owners have a license agreement with the Milton, Del. brewery of the same name. With two classmates, Petrella researched the restaurant’s business philosophy to understand its goals and to develop a proposal they would present to a panel of judges recruited by USG. “This program asks for more than good grades,” Petrella said. “We
had to prove that we were ready and able for some real-life application.” His proposal, which built on Dogfish Head Alehouse’s unfulfilled vision of combining a food truck with a bold dollop of tourism, scored him high marks with judges. Shortly after receiving his degree in 2012, a call came from Dogfish Head Alehouse with a job offer. The company hired Petrella, 25, to serve as a restaurant manager and a full-time contractor to launch the Dogfish Head AleBus. “We’re taking the Dogfish brand mobile,” Petrella said. It took three months to find a bus (retired from Photo by Andy Butterman the District of Columbia schools’ fleet), retrofit it and develop the business model. Petrella also earned a Commercial Driver License to drive it for events he books. “Sam’s experience and knowledge, gleaned from the UMES program, combined with his business skills and entrepreneurial passion allowed him to spearhead the bus project successfully,” said Joe Hospital, an owner of Dogfish Head Alehouse. “Sam took an idea that didn’t have any model – there’s no precedent for what he was doing – and built the bus out of our and his imagination,” Hospital said. “He has done a great job in making this a great, viable DOGFISH HEAD continued on page 6

President’s Reception honors university donors
Pictured at the President’s Donor Reception, from left, are: Shana Washington, a senior majoring in human ecology; Charles Gregg, one of UMES’ donors and an alumnus, Class of ’68; Gabrielle Lang, a junior and Richard A. Henson Honors Program student majoring in applied design; President Juliette B. Bell; Jeffery Locklear, a senior and Richard A. Henson Honors Program student majoring in exercise science; Dr. Jacqueline Brice-Finch, chair of the Department of English and Modern Languages; and Bill Jones, a donor and alumnus, Class of ’78.
President Juliette B. Bell welcomed some 150 university donors, students and faculty Oct. 16 to the Richard A. Henson Center for the 2013 edition of the President’s Donor Reception. “I look forward to the event each year as a way for recipients of scholarships to express their appreciation to many of their generous benefactors,” said Dr. Veronique Diriker, director of development. The evening highlight was hearing from donors, students and

university administration on the positive impact of philanthropy, Diriker said. Gabrielle Lang, a junior and Richard A. Henson Honors Program student, addressed donors in the room, “I want you to know that I’m grateful for the contributions you have made that have made a difference in my life. I give you my deepest and sincerest thank you. My story may be only just the beginning, but your influence will have a lasting impression.”
Q&A Meet Mr. UMES Jeremy Whichard, a senior majoring in English with a minor in telecommunications Why did you run for Mr. UMES? I've observed a lack of male leadership and I had a desire to be the guiding light that changed the culture of men on this campus. I wanted to ignite the flame of change that burns long after my graduation from this institution. What do you hope to accomplish by the time you’re 25? I should have extensive knowledge in (public relations) which should position me to be well on my way to creating my own firm. If you could go anywhere in the world … I would travel to Egypt, (during peace time) because there are so many historical marvels there as well as where many historical events took place. Something that you’re thankful for … The opportunities my position has provided. I have traveled across the country and networked with some amazing people. What current TV commercial is your favorite? The Adidas commercial featuring Derrick Rose, which basically poses (to) him the question of what would he have if he didn't have the money and the fame, and he replied "everything" because he can still play basketball (and) continues to do what he loves. How do you relieve stress during finals? Give yourself adequate study time, do not cram the night before, provide yourself with a sufficient night’s rest and eat a healthy breakfast on any testing days. Also, utilize beneficial resources (tutoring, study groups, etc.) and remain calm under pressure!
If you’ve seen the many yard signs placed strategically around campus, you might be wondering who BEN is. BEN is benevolent—someone who is inclined to do kind or charitable acts. Will you join the several hundred staff and faculty members who have already made a commitment to "BE BEN?" Your support to the university through the Staff and Faculty Campaign will be invested exactly as you wish. Would you like to support a particular program, school, project, general scholarship fund or are you simply not sure? Call me and I can help you find a perfect fit for your gift. No gift is too small. Thank you in advance for giving as generously as you can. Veronique Diriker, director of development 410-651-8142, vdiriker@umes.edu

College students might not always act their age. University of Maryland Eastern Shore student-athletes had a chance to revert to their youth while volunteering at Pemberton Elementary School Oct. 9. “This was a lot of fun,” said Skylar Murray, a freshman baseball student-athlete. Nine UMES student-athletes from baseball, women’s basketball and track and field participated. TeAmber Burke, a child development major and guard on the women’s basketball team said, “This gave us a chance to be active and teach the kids about the sports we love.” The UMES Student-Athlete Advisory Committee takes part in planning and coordinating many of the community outreach events that student-athletes are involved with throughout the year. At Pemberton, the Hawks played basketball, tag and attempted to bounce on a hippity-hop ball. And, if you have not seen college students on kid-sized scooters, it is quite a sight. Dillon Simon (track and field) and Chalyse Taylor (women’s basketball) were also challenged to a hula hoop contest by the pre-k and kindergarten children that were in attendance. Simon was arguably more competitive than the five-year old he was in the contest against, but both had fun and shared some laughs.

business enterprise.” Experienced faculty and industry experts prepare UMES students like Petrella for careers in lodging, restaurant, travel, attractions, meeting and convention and food service industries. UMES’ HRM students aspire to move up the ranks of major companies while others have plans for entrepreneurial ventures, according to Susan Callahan, chef and a USG faculty member. “Our challenge … is to help students figure out what they want to do and groom them with the skills and provide the experiences that will help them reach their goals,” Callahan said. “That’s the beauty of our program. Because of our size and structure, we get to know our students … and we can identify what they need to succeed.” The bright green AleBus’ exterior conjures up memories of iconic woody wagons made popular by the California surfing culture of the 1950s and 1960s. Inside, the interior resembles the three Washingtonarea restaurants with seating for up to 16 people. With Petrella behind the wheel, the bus visits festivals and football game tailgating events and even takes patrons on field trips to the brewery in eastern Sussex County. Customers who book the bus are picked up and dropped off at their homes. “It’s non-negotiable. We’re very safety oriented,” Petrella said. “It’s about responsible beer appreciation.” The marketing novelty caught the eye of The Washington Post, which assigned a reporter to interview Petrella for an article. Throughout his experience at USG, Petrella said he gained a rich understanding of the complexities of owning a business and what takes to succeed with his long-term plans to open his own restaurant. “In the restaurant industry, you have to be a paralegal, an accountant and a chef, which all are three things that I didn’t think I was going to be doing,” he said. “On top of that, you have to manage the day-to-day of a restaurant. It demands a lot, but I know that’s what I want to do.”
students meet criteria for alcohol abuse or dependence. Almost one-third of underage Maryland college students have driven impaired. While most Maryland schools offer alcohol education programs and basic training in how to identify and refer students with drinking problems, the collaborative’s best practices guide recommends supplementing these efforts with actions that are more effective at changing individual behavior and modifying the settings that influence students’ drinking decisions. “Through the leadership of our Alcohol, Tobacco & Other Drug Prevention office, led by Dr. Kimberly Poole-Sykes and Mrs. Lauresa Wigfall,” Jenkins said, “we will continue to effectively address high-risk and underage drinking at UMES.” Participating schools will develop multi-level interventions, which aim to incorporate more evidence-based practices in activities targeting individual students, parents, and the larger communities and environments in which college student drinking occurs. Jenkins noted, “The USM collaborative invited UMES to participate, in large part, because Dr. Anthony Jenkins Dr. Poole-Sykes’ and Mrs. Wigfall’s expertise was tapped (two years ago) by Dartmouth College to help address college high risk drinking at the national level.” The collaborative is creating a measurement system to help colleges measure progress towards their goals and assess the effectiveness of new strategies on multiple campuses. The other nine institutions are: Allegany College of Maryland, Frostburg State University, Loyola University Maryland, McDaniel College, Notre Dame of Maryland University, Towson University, the U.S. Naval Academy and the University of Maryland Baltimore County. “Being a part of the USM consortium is yet another example of how UMES’ faculty and staff are at the forefront of transforming higher education,” Jenkins said.

Spotlight on faculty and staff Dr. Cynthia Cravens, an adjunct instructor in the Department of English and Modern Languages, earned a doctorate in English from the University of Illinois. Cravens’ area of specialization is creative writing. She is currently preparing her dissertation manuscript for publication. “ ‘A Novel of Manners’ is a social novel, a father-daughter novel, a coming-of-age novel, a mid-life crisis novel, a waning vitality novel and more,” Cravens said. It takes place in 2005 on the island of Nantucket during the week of the Daffodil Festival when “Longfellow quotes are obligatory and decorated hats drive the local economy.” Other areas of research that capture her attention are film studies, particularly the practice of adaptation, and gender and women’s studies in all aspects of American culture. Cravens received bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Boston’s Emerson College in writing, publishing and literature and in creative writing with a certificate in screenwriting, respectively. She once considered a career in screenwriting in L.A., but said, “the lure of graduate school was of greater force and I studied film and literature instead.”
Jennifer Neumyer, a special collections and outreach librarian in UMES’ Frederick Douglass Library, recently attended a leadership exchange at Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, N.C. Neumyer was among four librarians chosen from the 100 HBCU Library Alliance member institutions. Neumyer was selected based on her proposal to digitize records and photographs from 44 years of history of the Princess Anne Chapter of the Links Inc. The chapter has strong ties to the university, Neumyer said, with the majority of the charter members connected to UMES through work, their husband’s employ or as alumni. One member, Mary Fair Burks, was also a civil right activist of some renown, she said. Burks was the co-founder and first president of the Women’s Political Council that helped organize the Montgomery, Ala. bus boycott of the 1960s. “I also chose the Links records because they are of a more manageable size to work with before embarking on the extensive UMES archives collection,” Neumyer said. Her proposal also expressed the need to learn about the best practices, policies and procedures necessary for online digitization.
Dr. Stephanie Krah, was a presenter at the Delmarva Education Foundation’s second Scholarship Sponsors Forum Oct. 25 in Salisbury. Krah is UMES’ director of retention in the Center for Access and Academic Success. Krah led a group discussion on the challenges of college scholarship administration to more than 30 participants representing organizations and businesses in Maryland and Delaware that offer scholarships to local students. The goal of the event was to provide a platform for attendees to learn about and share best practices of scholarship program administration including funding, promoting and awarding scholarships. It was sponsored through a grant from the Maryland Higher Education Commission.
Dr. Madhumi Mitra won the Best Paper Award in the Energy Conservation and Conversion Division at the 2013 annual conference of the American Society for Engineering Education. Mitra is a professor of biological and environmental sciences at UMES and the coordinator of biology and chemistry education. The paper, titled “Energizing the STEAM curricula with Bioenergy and Biproducts,” won among 32 papers published on the subject of energy engineering education. Co-authors of the paper are Dr. Abhijit Nagchaudhuri, professor of engineering and aviation sciences at UMES, and Dr. Corinne Rutzke, senior research associate, biological and environmental engineering at Cornell University. The paper will be recognized in the main plenary session of the 2014 meeting of the ASEE in Indianapolis, Ind., next June. Mitra and Nagchaudhuri have also been elected to serve as next year’s division officers for the Energy Conservation and Conversion Division of the ASEE.
Peter Stanford, interim chair of UMES’ Physician Assistant Department, attended the Oct. 18 annual conference of the Physician Assistant Educator’s Association in Memphis, Tenn. As a community service outreach of the conference, Stanford participated in Project ACCESS. He, along with other PA educators attending the event, visited the Booker T. Washington High School to educate minority students about opportunities in the health care field. Project ACCESS, he said, has visited community colleges, rural and inner city high schools since 1987 to encourage students from medically underserved and underrepresented populations to stay in school, study hard and consider the PA profession.
