In one of her first acts after becoming UMES president July 1, Dr.Juliette B. Bell committed the university to joining other two-, four-year andgraduate institutions that now form an expanded version of an olderorganization.

“I believe that personal and social responsibility are essential attributesof an educated citizenry. We have the capacity and responsibility of makingcivic learning and engagement integral components of the educationalenterprise here at UMES,” Bell said.

The new compact will hold its inaugural meeting at MontgomeryCollege’s Takoma Park campus, Oct. 26, when presidents of member

ingenuity through arts and culture, our engagement through civicresponsibility; and our discovery through science, technology and learning.”

Bell said “this is a celebration of our first steps on the journey from'Excellence to Eminence',” the theme she has chosen as she begins her tenureat UMES. “It is a celebration of our renaissance.”

UMES presents fall theater production

UMES’ School of Pharmacy and Health Professions ishosting health screenings and medication review sessionsin observance of October as American Pharmacists Month.

Activities take place Wed., Oct. 24, from 12-2 p.m. inSomerset Hall on the university campus. Pharmacy studentsand faculty from the school will perform blood pressurescreenings, diabetes and stroke risk assessments, body fatand body mass index analyses and brown bag medicationreviews.

Brown bag programs encourage consumers—especially older adults—to gather all their prescriptions,

over-the-counter medications, as well as vitamins and herbal supplements, and take them to apharmacist in a bag for review, said Dr. Miriam Purnell, assistant dean for student affairs and directorof the Drug Information Center at UMES.

“The fact that many patients see multiple doctors and may even go to multiple pharmaciescontributes to confusion about the proper use of medications and may lead to adverse events due tomedication errors,” Purnell said. The goal of the program, she added, is to promote betterpatient/pharmacist communications to identify duplicate, outdated or poorly stored medications andto solve some of the problems of taking multiple medications.

American Pharmacists Month strives to educate the public and policymakers about the rolepharmacists play in the reduction of overall health care costs and the safe and effective managementof medications, Purnell said. “Know your pharmacist, know your medicine,” is the theme for the 2012observance. UMES’ events are free and open to the public. They are held in collaboration with theMillion Hearts Campaign, Healthy People 2020 and Script Your Future.

“American Pharmacists Month is a great way to educate the public about how pharmacists canhelp them get the most benefit from their medicine. This event on campus is just one way that ourstudent pharmacists and faculty members are doing just that,” Dr. Nicholas Blanchard, dean, Schoolof Pharmacy and Health Professions, said.

Physician Assistant students bringhome trophy

A bedpan doesn’t come tomind as a coveted item unless it’sthe “Golden Bedpan Trophy” ofthe Maryland Academy ofPhysician Assistants—an annualaward that was elusive until the2012 competition for UMESPhysician Assistant students.

“We’re happy to be the firstteam to bring home the gold,”Gbenga Adeyeye, a soon-to-begraduate of the program andteam member, said. “We havelooked forward to winning thissince last year.”

Dr. Linda Trotman, clinicalcoordinator for UMES’ program,said that each year the three PA programs in Maryland—Anne ArundelCommunity College, Community College of Baltimore County and UMES—send one or more teams to “battle for bragging rights to the uniquetrophy.” The trophy is the pinnacle of the 16th annual Challenge Bowl—afun, but competitive, event at the MAPA’s annual conference that follows theformat of a medical quiz show.

The “trophy” will be proudly displayed in the UMES PA Department forone year before being returned for next year’s competition. “We hope tonever relinquish the ‘trophy;’ leaving it at UMES as a permanent fixture,”Trotman said.

The PA program marks a milestone in Fall 2013, Trotman said, as ittransitions to a master’s degree program.

Thurgood Marshall recruits

Seventeen UMES students have been selected to attend an elite leadershipinstitute and recruitment fair for public HBCU students Oct. 26-29 in NewYork. The event is sponsored by the Thurgood Marshall College Fund.

“The interview experience at UMES was wonderful,” UMES juniorShanyce Stewart said. “The critiques given will enhance my interviewing skillsfor life.”

“For the past decade, this four-day conference has given talented futureleaders a unique professional development experience,” said Aundra Roberts,the program assistant with UMES’ Richard A. Henson Honors Program.Students are brought together with some of the nation’s top executives fortraining in leadership and life skills, and career development.

One of the main components of the event is the recruitment fair, wherestudents meet with over 60 companies and government agencies offering jobsand internships, Roberts said.

Aaron Cardwell, a junior majoring in sociology, is looking toward theconference “…to enhance my leadership skills and network with otherstudents.” He said he also hopes to meet with job recruiters to discussinternship opportunities.
