UMES’ decision to purchase hand-held dry-erase boards that can double as bulletproofshields has brought the university world-widemedia attention.

An international TV audience that tuned inAug. 26 to the CNN talk show, “Piers MorganLive,” heard UMES police chief Ernest Leatherburytalk about a new kind of classroom securitymeasure.

“I see this as a proactive step to ensure thesafety of our community in the unlikely event …someone does come on this campus with theintent to harm our students, staff and our faculty,”Leatherbury told the show’s host.

Leatherbury was joined in a UMES classroom by George Tunis, founderof Hardwire LLC, the manufacturer of protective armor for the military andlaw enforcement agencies that he is now marketing as a supplemental safetytool to educators.

“This same technology can apply to your school and the armor needsto be there,” Tunis said. The “Sandy Hook (school shooting) was done and

Waldo Kiah and James Sullivan, wereMaryland State College faculty colleagues.

“Mr. Kiah took us to ConstitutionAvenue, where we joined a stream ofpeople that seemed to be absolutelyendless,” Sullivan said. “I don't think wehad ever seen so many people of color inone place.”

“Almost everyone carried a sign thatlet the world know what they stood for,and who they represented,” she said.

Sullivan and the Kiahs were too farfrom the Lincoln Memorial to hear Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. deliver his “I HaveA Dream” speech, but saw it later that dayon TV.

“We were in awe of what we had justheard,” Sullivan said. “I thought, ‘no wonder the people were cheering andapplauding so loudly’."

Adoption of classroom security device puts UMES in national spotlightover in three minutes. The armor needs to bein the hands … of the teachers because theyare the ones that are there to protect thestudents.”

UMES announced Aug. 14 its purchase of200, 18-inch-by-20-inch writing tablets fromHardwire in nearby Pocomoke City. Theboards will be made available to faculty andpossibly placed in other high-traffic offices.

The university bought the boards using$59,800 provided by its private foundation. Nopublic funds or student tuition were used.

Tunis said UMES is the first college in thenation to invest in his new product, a

pronouncement that has attracted attention from journalists.Reports about the university’s dry-erase board acquisition have appeared

across America and in Asian newspapers, while television journalists fromJapan and France also have expressed interest in the story.

The cost of theroundabout and sidewalkimprovements, including right-of-way,design and construction, is $4.1million.

“Princess Anne is a growing community and infrastructure sits at thetop of our list of things to get done,” Garland Hayward, president of thePrincess Anne County Commissioners said.

“Improved access to our campus and the safety of our students, whomust walk along roads with no sidewalks, have been long-standingconcerns of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore,” UMES PresidentJuliette Bell said. “We are delighted that this project will be underway soonand extremely grateful to Gov.

State Police officer, how he felt about having whiteboards in the classroom.“I am supportive of anything that aids us in ensuring the safety of our

students, faculty and staff at the university,” Leatherbury said.While some have questioned the whiteboards’ potential effectiveness,

Leatherbury and other security experts point out the tablet should be viewedas a “last line of defense” in response to an active shooter intrusion.

During the 4-minute, 20-second segment, CNN viewers also saw a pre-taped demonstration featuring Dr. Nina Lyon-Bennett, a UMES faculty leader,holding a whiteboard while Tunis discharged a high-pressure instrument thatsimulates a bullet at point-blank range.

Bennett said she visualized being fearful at the prospect of fending off an

assailant, but she also said she felt “empowered” having something in herhand that could distract an assailant so students could seek safety.

School security is a growing concern across the country and UMESPresident Juliette B. Bell has said she is heartened by the dialogue theuniversity’s action has sparked nationwide.

“If our decision to be pro-active in making our classrooms a little saferhas contributed to the national discussion, then we feel good about the rolewe’ve played,” Dr. Bell said. “At the end of the day, making our campus as safeas we possibly can is a top priority.”

Bell and Bennett also noted the university investment has potential to paydividends as a teaching tool, since UMES trains future teachers as well as lawenforcement professionals.

Dr. Nicholas Blanchard, dean of the School ofPharmacy and Health Professions, traveled toEaster Island, a Polynesian island in thesoutheastern Pacific Ocean and a territory ofChile. He is shown in Rapa Nui NationalPark, a UNESCO World Heritage site, knownfor its 887 monumental statues called “moai.”

Kiah, now 65, traveled cross country to attend the 50th anniversarycelebration.

“The march was serendipitous and heart-warming,” Kiah said. “I’m soglad I made the trip. Ann and I spent the day together once again,

marching and listening tospeeches.”

Dr. Kathryn Barrett-Gaines also attended the2013 gathering and wasinspired to pen an essayreflecting on herexperience. It read, inpart:

“As a professor … Iprepare students forfreedom by teachingcritical reading,analytical writing,gathering evidence,

critically thinking, questioning, and doubting.” “Learning about history creates compassionate people,” she wrote.

“Passing on these tools is my way of opening doors to the struggle forfreedom.”

“I am free to go to the Mall for the Let Freedom Ring March. I am freeto be challenged and to challenge others. I am free to publish my thoughts,because I have a job that frees my mind and body.”

“I am free to engage in the wondrous struggle for freedom, the

struggle for what to believe. I can give no greater gift to a student,” shewrote.

The 1963 Washington march called to Dr. Johnson, also a UMESprofessor, because he was a sit-in demonstrator while a student at NorthCarolina A&T State University during the civil rights movement.

“I wanted to be a part of it. I knew it was going to be a history-makingday,” Johnson told The Daily Times, “It was one of the most exciting timesin my life.”

Bill Jones, a UMES alumnus and Kiah family friend, did not attend the1963 march, but heard King speak earlier that summer. He was in Detroitwhen he participated in a June 23 event where King invoked his “I have adream …” mantra.

“Of course, (it) wasn’t ‘historic’ to me at the time…,” Jones said.There were, “just far, far more people than this Somerset County kid (whowas 12 at the time) had ever seen gathered in one place.”

Christina deHuarte, a receptionist in UMES’ financial aid office,treasures a collection of black and white photos her father took on Aug. 28,1963.

“People need to remember that it was not just one particular race or aparticular religion that marched, but people from all races, religions …and ethnic backgrounds banding together to show their support for thecause of equality in a peaceful, unified way,” deHuarte said.

“As I think of all the students I have greeted in the past three years … Ican’t help but think of the speech (Dr.) King gave that day,” she said.

She describes UMES today as “a place where people of all colors,races, religions and ethnic backgrounds have found a way to work together,eat together, study together and live together in peace and equality in ourlittle corner of the world.”

The Harry Potter generationthat descended on UMES Aug. 21must have felt the campus wasthe Hogwarts School ofWitchcraft and Wizardry. A rare,late-summer fog enshroudedlower Delmarva just as earlyarriving freshmen prepared tomove into residence halls.

The firstfreshman and hisfamily in theparking lotadjacent to NuttleHall was CoreyBell of ScotchPlains, N.J., who left at 2:30 a.m. to make the trek toPrincess Anne.

Bell was experiencing the usual emotions of first-year collegestudents moving away from home.

“I’m a bit nervous, but I’m also excited,” he said.Bell, who plans to major in engineering, picked UMES because he

“wanted to try something different. This is a lot different than New Jersey.I’m relaxed here.”

Bell’s mother, Jennifer, said she, too, was “excited for him to goaway from home. It means he’s starting to grow up, and I’m proud ofhim. I think he’ll do just fine.”

The Bells were familiar with UMES; several of Corey’s cousins arealumni. He’ll be a fourth-generation college student in his immediatefamily.

“We feel like this is just the right fit for Corey,” said Howard Bell, hisfather. “We’re very comfortable with him coming here.”

UMES President Juliette Bell, no relation to the New Jersey Bells, wasat Court Plaza Hall early greeting new students and helping a few getsettled in.

“It’s important for me to be here … and meet our new students,”Bell said. “This is always an exciting day.”

Jason Browne of Hempstead, N.Y. was among the lucky early arrivalsgetting a helping hand from Dr. Bell, who quickly struck up a rapportwith his parents, sister and maternal grandmother.

“She is so down-to-earth,” Sondra Browne said of Dr. Bell. “Herbeing here, embracing us – and him, quieted our spirit.”

The Brownes posed for Kodak-moment family photos with Dr. Bellin Jason’s third-floor room.

Browne said he considered two other colleges but chose UMES tostudy business because he got a vibe that the campus was “close-knit,family oriented. I’m a family-oriented kind of guy, as you can see.”

Was he at all apprehensive?“It’s all happening so fast,” Browne said. “I’ll be fine.”UMES student leaders and athletes were out in full force, helping

moms and dads and freshmen haul Rubbermaid tubs, flat screen TVs,dorm refrigerators, ironing boards and mirrors into their new “home-away-from-home.”
