“First Pass” by James O’Barr

Opening Reception, Oct. 6, 4-6 p.m., Mosely GalleryFilm Screening, Oct. 6, 8 p.m., SSC Theater

The show closes Oct. 30 with a Halloween costume party in the Mosely Gallery from 4-6 p.m. All events are free.

Call 410-651-7770 or visit www.moselygallery.com for more information.

James O’Barr, the graphic artist best known for his creation of the comicbook series and subsequent movie, “The Crow,” will be on hand at a filmscreening and reception for an exhibit of his work at the University of MarylandEastern Shore’s Mosely Gallery.

“Dark Dreams: The Art of James O’Barr,” opens Oct. 6 with a meet-the-artist reception from 4-6 pm. in the university’s Thomas Briggs Arts andTechnology Center. A film screening of the 1994 movie, “The Crow,” based onhis graphic novel, takes place at 8 p.m. in the Student Services Center Theater.Book signings follows both events.

“We’re very fortunate to have James O’Barr come to our campus to exposestudents and the community to his art,” Susan Holt, Mosely Gallery director,said. “He is a prolific and talented sequential (comic book) artist and the showis a perfect fit for UMES with the ever-increasing popularity of our sequential artsprogram.”

The exhibit, on display through Oct. 30, features the artists’ original art,Holt said.

“Of the 30 pieces in the show, a lot of the works are pieces created for“The Crow,” she said. “Most of it is done in acrylic paintings and ink washes.”

O’Barr’s life has been shaped by personal tragedy reflected in his art. Bornin Detroit, he was raised in the foster care system. When his fiancée was killedin 1978 by a drunk driver, he joined the U.S. Marines and started illustrationsfor “The Crow.”

O’Barr’s art was also influenced by a newspaper article about the murderof a young Detroit couple over a $20 engagement ring. In the graphic novel, theprotagonist and his fiancée are killed by a gang of criminals. The Crow returnsfrom the dead to find the killers and avenge their deaths.

In addition to O’Barr, Russian animator Konstantin Komardin will be aguest artist during the opening activities.

A dozen UMESpharmacy students and theiradvisors were among acontingent of some 50 peerswho recently administeredflu shots and free healthscreenings to over 200people, including membersof Congress and their staffs.

The Sept. 17 event,sponsored in part by theAmerican PharmacistsAssociation and held in theRayburn Foyer of the Houseof Representatives, aimed todemonstrate the value ofpharmacist-provided patientcare services.

“The students provideda great service for Hillstaffers as well as severallegislators who, in turn,provided students with anexcellent opportunity to seeand speak with people whomake decisions and createlaws which will affect theirpractice and future,” Dr.Richard DeBenedetto of UMES’ School of Pharmacy said.

UMES pharmacy students were charged with providing glucose andcholesterol screenings and consultations, according to Dr. WilliamHarbester, assistant professor of pharmacy practice, who accompaniedthem.

“I was able to learn how to use a cardio-check machine (the first formany in the group) and I loved that I was able to provide care for somereally important people,” Bhumy Dicorato, a third-year pharmacy student,said.

“Currently being the Operation Diabetes chair at our chapter (APhA),this was a great experience to test patient’s glucose, counsel them on their

The AmericanCouncil forConstructionEducation has givenUMES a green lighton the renewal ofaccreditation for itsConstructionManagementTechnologyProgram, the onlyACCE accreditedprogram in the stateand one of twoHBCUs in the nation.

“Since 1991,the program hascontinued tomaintain the stringent standards of ACCE and has been deemed worthy ofreaccreditation by its board of trustees,” Dr. Derrek Dunn, chair of UMES’Department of Technology, said.

Reaccreditation involves an evaluation of the program by a visitingteam of collegiate peers and professionals in the industry.

Michael Holland, president and CEO of ACCE, in a letter informing the

Construction Management Program reaccredited

Dr. Jacqueline Brice-Finch, was avoting delegate at the Honor Society of Phi KappaPhi’s biennial convention in St. Louis, Mo.

Brice-Finch, chair of the Department ofEnglish and Modern Languages at UMES, servesas president of the university’s chapter of theorganization. UMES’ chapter currently has 99members.

The honor society, founded in 1897, is billed as “the nation’s oldest andmost selective collegiate honor society for all academic disciplines.” It haschapters at more than 300 institutions of higher education. Membership isextended by invitation to the top 10 percent of seniors and graduate studentsand 7.5 percent of juniors. Faculty, professional staff and alumni who haveachieved scholarly distinction also qualify.

Dr. Linda Johnson, an associate professor ofbiology in UMES’ Department of Natural Sciences, hascompleted a 12-month, post-graduate certificate inacademic leadership from the Chicago School ofProfessional Psychology. It is part of its Opportunitiesfor Under Represented Scholars program.

The certificate program is funded through a grantfrom the National Science Foundation to preparewomen in the STEM disciplines at HBCUs for

leadership roles on their respective campuses.Focus is on the readiness of the inaugural NSF/OURS fellows for the

changing landscape of higher education, specifically at historically blackcolleges. Among the issues facing HBCUs are changes in technology, studentdemographics, finances and budgets, evolving accreditation standards anddomestic and disruptive forces impacting colleges and universities.

The topic of Johnson’s project conducted at UMES for the certificationwas, “Utilizing Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) as UndergraduateAcademic Support Tools.”

Dr. Robert A. Johnson Jr., UMES’ mathdepartment chairman, has a new leadership roleon campus; UMES’s faculty athletic representativeto the NCAA.

Johnson’s selection was announced by theuniversity’s Department of Intercollegiate Athletics.A former college football player, he’ll serve in theimportant role of designated liaison between thegoverning body for intercollegiate sports, UMES’ athletics department and thecampus community at-large.

“Dr. Johnson is uniquely qualified and prepared to assume the dutiesand responsibilities of faculty athletics representative.” Athletics Director KeithDavidson said. “[His] experiences as a former student-athlete gives him rareinsight into the demand of intercollegiate athletics on student-athletes’welfare.”

Johnson assumes the faculty representative responsibilities handled thepast 25 years by Dr. Henry Brooks, who retired this past spring. Johnsonbecame a member of UMES’ faculty in 1999.

department of thenews, wrote: “…weare excited about thefuture of thisprogram and lookforward tocontinuing our jointsupport of theconstructioneducation and thework that yourfaculty and graduatescontribute to theconstructionindustry.”

UMES’ four-yearprogram results in“well-educated

professionals capable of managing the total construction process.” “Our graduates are courted by the likes of Gilbane Building Compnay,

Bovis Lend Lease and The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company,” Dunnsaid. Eighty-five percent of them, he said, find employment with generalcontracting and sub-contracting firms and in government immediatelyfollowing graduation.

UMES construction management students lent their expertise to a Chesapeake Housing Mission build in Somerset County recently. An 86-year-old now has a much-needed wheel chair ramp thanks to their efforts.

A recent agreement has brought mtvU, MTV’s college network broadcasting to some 750colleges, to UMES’ campus.

Students can watch on channel 4.2 and on dedicated mtvU televisions. Two 55-inchtelevisions in the Student Services Center game room and four 40-inch televisions in the SSC

and Tawes Gym were provided by mtvU at no cost to the university. The TVs can be used as a message system for campus organizations and departments to submit information for

display providing an effective way for students to stay updated on important campus news and events, said JavidBrathwaite, director of auxiliary services. MtvU also provides competitions, grants and on-campus events.

In partnership with Youth Venture, mtvU awards grants to students and groups that “propose compelling andsustainable social entrepreneurship projects” with up to $1,000.

The network is also involved in pro-social initiatives such as its Emmy award-winning campaign to increaseawareness of the genocide taking place in the Darfur region of Sudan, a campaign in partnership with The JedFoundation, “Half of Us,” to reduce the students suicide rate and the “Against Our Will”campaign to end modern-dayslavery.

and the summer internship director.He also happens to be a UMESalumnus, Class of 1965.

Dennis compared notes withJearld about UMES and said she wasflattered by his interest in her as abudding biologist-researcher. She alsocredits UMES professors AndreaJohnson and Paulinus Chigbu forencouraging her to apply for theWoods Hole internship.

“It definitely will not be the last,”she told a NOAA official. “Theprogram has helped me solidify myplans for the future.”

NOAA and Chigbu, who heads theLiving Marine Resources CooperativeScience Center at UMES, are

organizing a national science and education forum to be held Oct. 26-29 on thePrincess Anne campus. The biennial event, expected to attract several hundredparticipants, is tailor-made for undergraduates like Dennis, an African-American whoplans to attend the forum to gauge graduate school options.

“We have the numbers to show that there are students from populationsunderrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics who come to(Woods Hole) with a diversity of scientific interest and perspectives,” Jearld said.“But we know that numbers are not everything and are only part of what it takes toincrease diversity in science” at places like Woods Hole.

Dennis worked alongside Lauren Mullineaux in the Woods Hole OceanographicInstitution’s biology department analyzing hydrothermal vent larvae and ecologicalsuccession after seafloor eruptions on the East Pacific Rise. She measured nutrientsin samples taken from deep water off Mexico and their effect on tubeworms,crustaceans and mollusks most people have never seen.

While most of her time at Woods Hole was spent on land, she did sail on a mini-research vessel taking dredge samples. Opportunities to meet peers from other partsof the country, she said, also provided new experiences, from cooking for each otherto a going on a whale watch and visiting Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology.

Plus, she and fellow interns earned four college credits from the Woods Holesummer program’s academic partner, UMES.

a deserving student-athlete with a minimum 3.5 high schoolgrade point average, a USGA handicap of 12 or less, outstandingcharacter, integrity and leadership qualities, and whodemonstrates a financial need. The recipient must continuemeeting those criteria to remain eligible for the scholarshipthrough 4½ years of study.

“The mission and accomplishments of the UMES PGA GolfManagement Association align perfectly with the (Caves Valley)Foundation’s dedication to improving the lives of young peoplethrough exposure to golf’s customs, traditions and rules of fairplay,” Foundation board chairman Gary Attman said.

The scholarship will pay for tuition, room, board, textbooksand other incidental costs for up to five years, including aninternship designed to provide the student with field experience.

Being selected to receive the scholarship, Cooper said,means “hard work really does pay off. I plan to continue what Iwas doing and work harder to steer my life in the direction Iwant it to go.”

Cooper, 18, will have an opportunity to work at Caves Valleyas an intern and will be considered for a post-graduateapprenticeship at the golf club, an opportunity to build anetwork of professional men and women from around theworld.

The Caves Valley Golf Club Foundation Inc. was organized in1994 for charitable and educational purposes to awardscholarships to caddies working at Caves Valley Golf Club. Fundsupport includes seed money from the Baltimore businesscommunity and donations from club members and their guests.The Foundation expanded its mission in 2001 to offerscholarships for caddies at other Baltimore-area golf clubs. Itswork has continued to evolve with support of The First Tee ofBaltimore and now this new partnership with UMES.

UMES Golf Management students take a broad spectrum ofcourses that prepare them for a variety of jobs in and aroundthe sport. Graduates must complete four levels of the PGA GolfManagement curriculum, 16 months of internship assignmentsand pass the PGA Playing Ability Test to qualify for membershipin the PGA of America upon eligible employment.

UMES’ athletic department came out Sept 20 to the Arthur W. Perdue Stadium insupport of the 2014 edition of Relay for Life, the American Cancer Society’s signatureevent. The department takes pride in its ongoing effort to support the community.

Student-athletes, coaches, staff members and their friends and families raisedmoney and walked in honor and memory of those who have been affected by cancer.

The UMES Student-Athlete Advisory Committee exceeded its goal to raise $1,000 forthe American Cancer Society.

"This event was a huge success," Martha Perez-Schmitz, coordinator of student-athlete services and compliance said. "We had great participation from all the teamsand we were able to support a cause dear to the department.”

The event kicked off early Friday evening with the opening ceremony followed bya survivors and caregivers lap. Sophomore baseball player Troy Anderson (Bridgeport,W.V.) was named “Miss Congeniality” in the Miss Relay event raising $84 in a half an hourof the contest. Several of the school’s participants stayed the entire night.
