UMESUMESThe NOAA Living Marine Resources Cooperative Science Center at UMES and the

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will co-host the 7th biennialEducation and Science Forum Oct. 26-29 across campus. "Developing a Premier FutureSTEM Workforce to Support Environmental Sustainability" is the event’s theme.

Organizers describe the forum, held every two years, as “a vibrant environmentfor students, professionals and the general public seeking opportunities for learning,networking and career development in NOAA mission-related science, technology,

engineering and mathematics” – known collectively as “STEM” fields.The 2014 edition kicks off with a series of studentdevelopment workshops and then an evening networking

event on Sunday, Oct. 26.The following day, the forum opens withplenary sessions featuring invited members of

Congress and senior NOAA officials,including Dr. Kathryn Sullivan, the

agency’s newly confirmedadministrator. Dr. Sullivan

holds the distinction ofbeing the first

UMES to host national education & science forum

The University of Maryland Eastern Shore moved into the “Top 25” of historically black institutions in thisyear’s annual Best Colleges survey by “U.S. News & World Report,” an improvement of six places from a yearago.

UMES has been rated by peers in the top tier of black colleges since the survey’s inception in 2007. Thisyear’s survey lists the university 23rd along with Alabama A&M. Morgan State and Bowie State universities, twoother public HBCUs in Maryland, join UMES in the upper tier and are rated 15th and 25th, respectively.

“I’m pleased with the survey’s outcome this year,” UMES President Juliette B. Bell said. “The reportreflects advancements made at the university during the 2013-14 academic year and shows how we comparewith our peers.”

Among the nation’s four-year black colleges, 69 out of 80 qualified for inclusion in the survey. Thepublication asks the senior administrators at each institution to rate the academic quality of their peers. Peerassessment, in combination with graduation and retention rates account for a little over half of the weight.

The strength of the faculty, student selectivity based on test scores and high school class standing, and theinstitution’s financial resources make up slightly less than the other half. The same ranking indicators are used

Ed Gordonchallenged UMESstudents Sept. 10 tobe discerning aboutallowing popularculture images andmessages influencetheir lives andbehavior.

“It’s up toyou to decidewhat’s rightand what’swrong,”Gordon said.

TheEmmy award-winningbroadcaster kicked off the inaugural Presidential Lecture Series that willfeature prominent speakers sharing their life’s views and experiences.

Gordon, who grew up in Detroit, drew on his three decades ofexperience in front of and behind TV news cameras to share how he thinksimages and messages today shape thoughts and decisions – especially thoseof young Americans.

"I think the media, in a great degree, is omnipresent now because it'sbeyond just news trucks. It's everybody with a cell phone. It's everybody onsocial media," Gordon told WMDT in an interview prior to his lecture.

Gordon has traveled the world, reporting on major news stories, suchas the Rodney King arrest and riots in Los Angeles and presidential

elections.“Think about

how media affectsyour life,” he toldthe gathering at theStudent ServicesCenter.

The medialandscape overthe past decadehas changeddramatically,and notnecessarilyfor the good,Gordon said.It iscluttered, to

some degree, by social media that has the potential to make everyone areporter, albeit untrained in how to present a broad spectrum of facts.

“It’s important for you to filter the perspective of what you’re seeing,”Gordon said.

“What we present is important,” he said. “You need to adjust to youraudience; you need to know what image you want to project.”

Gordon cautioned students to “be selective finding someone tomodel.”

“When you are branding yourself … as you move toward graduationand into a career, (think about) what is your message going to be? What areyou going to present to the world?”

Hazel Hall’s largest first-floor classroom has anew name: the George and Frances Latimer LectureHall. Members of the extended Latimer family wereguests of honor during Founders’ Week at a receptionto unveil plaques by Room 1020.

George Latimer, a retired New York City policeofficer, has pledged $100,000 to a scholarship fundcreated to assist a UMES undergraduate interested inAfrican-American history. Latimer’s donation is atribute to his late wife, an educator admired forcompiling a detailed history of African-Americans onVirginia’s Eastern Shore. The Hampton Universityalumna died Nov. 25, 2010, a loss her husband saidleft a painful void.

“I had to do something to ease it,” he said at thereception.

Frances Latimer, born in Seaview, Va., focused on tracking down andinterpreting records that trace the history of blacks in NorthamptonCounty. Her genealogical research inspired the founding of her ownpublishing company, which produced dozens of works, including a guide tolocal court records and “Landmarks: Black Historical Sites on the EasternShore.”

“One need only look at the volumes of work that she compiled … toknow that Mrs. Latimer was a life-long learner with a desire to document thehistory of Northampton County, Va.,” UMES President Juliette B. Bell said.“Certainly, Mrs. Latimer was fueled by the desire to make sure that young men

2 C I R C L I N G T H E O V A LUNIVERSITY of MARYLAND EASTERN SHORE

The Key / September 19, 2014

and women would have a sense of pride in their heritagethat would help them to reach for the stars. ThoughFrances is no longer with us, her legacy lives on.”

In 1998, Frances Latimer was featured in a four-part PBS documentary, “Africans in America.” Her workwas included in the TV series’ teachers’ guide,“America’s Journey Through Slavery,” underwritten bythe National Endowment for the Humanities andendorsed by the National Council on Social Studies.

“I don’t know where she got the energy from,”Latimer said. “She was always digging; she always hadthree or four projects in the back of her mind.”

After retiring, the Latimers retreated to Eastville,Va., where he took up poultry farming and occasionallyvisited UMES to take classes.

“I have a connection here,” Latimer said.Dr. Ray Davis, dean of UMES’ School of Arts and Professions, said, “we

should look upon this occasion as a love story about a man who remaineddevoted to his late wife.”

“Through your love, you have forever extended her memories and herpassion for black history on this Eastern Shore,” Davis told Latimer. “Forgenerations to come, I hope others will continue to appreciate your generosityand determination to share the passions of Mrs. Latimer.”

Recipients of the Latimer Scholarship will be required to publish anarticle on African-American history on the Eastern Shore using FrancesLatimer’s research as a foundation.

Ebony Smithenjoys singing inpublic but prefersthe semi-anonymityof performing withthe UMES ConcertChoir.

She wassurprised whenbroadcaster EdGordon made a fussabout a young woman whose stage presence caught his attention at the2014 Founders’ Day convocation and commencement ceremony.

“I said, ‘Who me?,’” Ebony recalled the day after Gordon’s shout-out.“I like to perform, but not in the limelight,” the senior from

Baltimore said.Ebony is part of a large, talented group of student-singers who

wowed the gathering at the Ella Fitzgerald Center for the Performing Arts,the venue for the combination convocation / commencement eachSeptember.

She was not a soloist, just a focused, enthusiastic performer with noprevious experience as a trained singer prior to enrolling at UMES.

“She consistently learns her music quickly and is a choir tutor – onewho assists others in learning their music,” choir director SheilaHarleston said. “She constantly strives for excellence.”

Gordon noticed that excellence from his seat stage right andincorporated his impressions in his commencement message. He steppedaway briefly from the lectern, walked over to an empty riser andanimatedly encouraged degree recipients to approach their careers withthe same energy and determination the young performer exhibited.

The Concert Choir, at the time, had retired to the Fitzgerald centerbalcony.

“I was stunned,” Ebony said. “I’ve gotten compliments fromprofessors, but to hear it coming from a guest speaker was so amazing.”

Harleston describes Ebony as “a leader in the Concert Choir, evenwhen not performing. In fact, she has been voted ‘The Most StudiousConcert Choir member’ in the past.”

Ebony, 23, will graduate in December with a degree in generalstudies. She has her eye on attending graduate school, where her goal isto hone her skills as a vocal coach and lyricist.

“I want to be the person behind the scenes,” she said. “I like to seesomething I’ve created come alive in other people.”

Her tastes in music range from classical to baroque to romantic tojazz – and spiritual, her favorite.

Fellow choristers congratulated Ebony and teased her good-naturedly about Gordon’s compliments.

“I was thrilled,” she said. “By him doing that, it helped me promotethe choir.”

Make a note: Ebony’s senior recital is Nov. 16 at 5 p.m. in theFitzgerald center.

Bell also bestowed faculty emeritus honors on Dr. Della Dameron-Johnson, a retired assistant professor and Director of Drama who was abeloved faculty member for 35 years.

Following the indoor ceremony, a processional made its way to thecampus cemetery to lay a wreath in recognition of two former administratorsand their spouses interred there, including the school’s founding principal,Benjamin O. Bird.

The group then gathered in front of John T. Williams Hall for (birthday)cake and punch – and one more special moment.

Retired art professor and Maryland State alumnusErnie Satchell (class of 1963) unveiled a life-sizebronze statue that he designed of the late J.T.

Williams, widely considered during his 23 years aspresident to be the driving force behind shaping theuniversity into the institution it is today.

Not counting the pedestal, Williams’ statute standsan impressive 6 feet 4 inches, which Satchell

noted in remarks about how the five-piece bronze artwork wasseamlessly welded together.

Just beyond the statue, whichcurrently is at the head of theuniversity’s flag mall, weredozens of small American flagsarranged in the shape of a “9”and a pair of “1s.”

And on each hour, thecampus bell tower playedpatriotic music, including“God Bless America” andthe “Marine Corps Hymn.”

Celebration and reflection were the watchwords as UMES held its summercommencement and 128th Founders’ Day Convocation Sept. 11.

The university awarded 28 Doctor of Physical Therapy degrees andrecognized four leaders for their contributions and loyal support of theinstitution.

This year’s ceremonies coincided with the 13th anniversary of the 2001terrorist attacks on New York, Washington and rural Pennsylvania, and UMESincorporated tributes into the day’s events.

A lone trumpeter outside the Fitzgerald Center for the Performing Artsplayed "Taps" at the exact times each of the first three planes crashed. Thefourth was acknowledged during graduation inside the building a few minutespast 10 a.m.

Broadcaster Ed Gordon, the commencement speaker, and CommissionerGarland Hayward of the Town of Princess Anne, both commended the universityfor incorporating a remembrance of 9-11 in the day’s programming.

The focal point, as it should be, was awarding the graduate degrees.“This program has been one of the best decisions I ever made,” said Nancy

Lolila-Ramin of Salisbury. “I like this environment because there were not a lotof distractions and the classes were small. I’d recommend ithighly.”

Classmate Erin Dean, also of Salisbury, pursuedher degree with an eye on becoming a women’shealth specialist.

“This is my second career,” Dean said. “It is thefulfillment of something I’ve been working on for five years,so it’s pretty emotional for me. The biggest challenge waskeeping the balance between my marriage and thefull-time commitment of going to school.”

Grant Sullivan of Laurel, Md. did themandatory four-internship rotation UMES’PT program requires and described hisfinal stop, the U.S. Air Force Academy, as“a great learning experience and aunique opportunity.”

“I couldn’t have asked foranything more,” Sullivan said. “Itwas the most challenging one, but Iwas the most prepared, since it

was the last one.”Gordon, who

delivered ananimated,entertainingaddress, advisedSullivan and hisclassmates to “beunabated. Youcan’t be worried whatothers say about you.”
