The University of Maryland EasternShore, founded in 1886 to train studentsin modern agrarian skills of that era,produced its first crop of graduates thispast school year in two promising fieldswithin the hospitality and health care professions.

This spring, UMES delivered on a promise more than a decade in themaking when it awarded 57 doctorates in pharmacy.

It is among a handful of the nation’s 129 accredited pharmacy schoolwith an “accelerated curriculum” where students earn their field’s topacademic credential in three years instead of the traditional four.

One-third of the new pharmacists told UMES administrators they hadjobs on Delmarva waiting for them after graduation. Sixteen will start theircareers in hospitals or medical centers.

Michael Geesaman of Snow Hill accepted a position with Rite-Aid onthe Lower Shore. Receiving his Pharm.D. degree was the fulfillment of agoal he’s had since high school.

“I always liked science, especially chemistry, and I thought aboutgetting into the medical field,” Geesaman said. “Being able to become apharmacist is a way to combine those two interests and do something with

earning his doctorate “the bestexperience in the world. It’s a relief –and a blessing, really.”

“It was well worth the time I had to put in,” Price said. “The salariesare certainly generous, but I believe it’s also just as important to bededicated to the role of helping people. Be humble about it.”

According to a May 2012 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics survey, theaverage salary for a pharmacist was $114, 950. While UMES took no formalmeasure of what members of the class of 2013 were offered as startingsalaries, faculty said some could expect to begin their careers at $100,000.

UMES pharmacy students worked alongside practicing professionals atNanticoke Memorial (Seaford) and Atlantic General (Berlin) hospitals aswell as Peninsula Regional Medical Center (Salisbury).

Field-training relationships were established with CVS, Rite Aid andWalgreens, where students “had the opportunity to experience a corporatepharmacy practice,” said Mark Freebery, assistant dean of experientiallearning.

exposure to medication therapy management services, diabetes education,service to nursing homes, dispensing and compounding.

“Experiential learning” opportunities took student-pharmacists to NewYork, Georgia, Texas, Minnesota and Alaska.

Travel did not make them invisible in the community. The class of 2013provided an estimated 5,000 hours of public service, including freediabetes screening, drug counseling and working on homes built by Habitatfor Humanity.

The 2012-13 academic year also saw the first degrees in professionalgolf management presented to seven graduates in December and one thisspring. All eight are working in the business, according to Billy Dillon, thegolf management program director.

“It’s hard to find good people in this profession,” Dillon said, “and ourguys are good.”

UMES is one of 20 universities offering the highly specialized course ofstudy that combines instruction in the hospitality industry as well as playinggolf at a professional level. The bachelor’s degree program is endorsed bythe PGA of America.

The charter class in golf management was stellar academically; sixgraduated with honors. No surprise to Dillon, because “the one thing wehave is that we get to know our students on a personal basis.”

Baltimore’s Zach Allen calls Billy Dillon “… a great teacher. Hisknowledge of the industry and his persistence in making sure we succeed issomething I’ll always appreciate.”

“The prospect of being part of something new was just the kind ofchallenge I was looking for” in college, Allen said. “We got a lot of personalattention from (the) faculty and I’ve learned a lot about the industry.”

Golf management students also are enrolled year-round and must fulfilla requirement to do field work under the supervision of a working PGAprofessional.

Brian Anderson, a “scratch” golfer, said he learned a lot aboutmerchandizing, including selecting the right inventory, displaying it in a waythat makes it appealing and pricing it to sell.

“It was verymuch a hands-onexperience,” saidAnderson, who didfield work at acountry club inMontgomeryCounty where hetook a job aftergraduation.

“I’ve had agreat experiencehere,” Andersonsaid. “I grew up(in Westminster,Md.) playing golf.It was something Iwas good at andnow I have adegree to makethat work for me.”

Although the summer months findthe university a little quieter than thehectic pace of the academic year, thecampus is nonetheless alive withactivity.

Gone are the bulk of the 4,454students who enrolled in the fall,leaving behind a smaller number ofstudents attending summer sessions,participating in undergraduateresearch programs or internships, orcontinuing their regular coursework in academic programs such aspharmacy, physical therapy or physician assistant. Mid-July the campusis also host to some 1,000 new students and their parents as part ofthe open enrollment process.

Glimpses of groups of high school students taking advantage ofexciting camps or seeking a leg-up on the college experience can beseen moving about, loading buses for field trips or even launchingrockets on the driving range.

Summer is a time when local educators attend workshops atUMES sponsored by the university’s Education and Natural Sciencesdepartments to receive important updates and teacher training. UMESalso opens its doors to the community to use facilities for conferencesand other events.

Whatever the reason for your visit, we hope you enjoy yourexperience here at UMES.

3U M E S P E O P L E The Key / Summer 2013

The noise of heavy equipment you may hear this summer emanating from the east side ofcampus is the sound of progress a decade in the making.

Construction on a new classroom building for the university’s science, technology,engineering and math programs – collectively known as “STEM” – is scheduled to start in July.

“The building is key to President (Juliette) Bell’s vision of making UMES a STEM-driveninstitution,” said Maurice Ngwaba, the university’s facilities planning director. “It embodies thatvision and will be a bulwark of our science and engineering programs.”

Workers have a June 2015 deadline to finish the 163,500 square-foot, three-story structure.Planning is under way to hold a symbolic “groundbreaking” ceremony. This past spring, Maryland lawmakers OK’d $22.7 million from the sale of revenue bonds to

be the first installment toward the $91.5 million project.A structure off College Backbone Road once used for poultry science instruction will make

way for the new building. Ngwaba estimated it would have parking for roughly 170 vehicles.In addition to classrooms and labs for engineering and aviation science, the building will be

home to the School of Graduate Studies and the dean of the School of Business and Technology.Classes in computer science and math as well as telecommunications offered by the English andmodern languages faculty also will be housed there.

UMES’ food science classroom building opened in 2003 and was followed a year later bythe physical plant, both on the eastern edge of the campus. For generations, the area was hometo field research and hands-on agriculture training.

A 17-acre corn field near the campus water tower became the site two years ago for 7,800solar-energy collection panels that reduce electric bills. The new classroom building will utilize ageothermal heating and cooling system, Ngwaba said.

The Universityof MarylandEastern Shorenamed a 28-yearveteran of theMaryland StatePolice (MSP) andSomerset Countynative to lead theuniversity’s policeforce. ErnestLeatherbury Jr.takes the helm July1 as the director ofpublic safety.

Leatherbury retired from the MSP a year ago,having managed operations as LieutenantCommander for three years at the Salisburybarrack. He served as commander from 2007 to2009 of the Princess Anne barrack and prior tothat, the barrack in Westminster. Leatherbury wasalso appointed by the MSP as Crisfield’s chief ofpolice for a year while the search for a permanentchief took place.

“We are pleased that Lt. Leatherbury will bejoining the leadership team at the University ofMaryland Eastern Shore,” said Dr. Juliette B. Bell,president. “Over his extensive career in lawenforcement and as an active member of thecommunity, he has demonstrated the strengths andcharacteristics that will serve the UMES communitywell.”

Dr. Ronnie Holden, vice president foradministrative affairs, to whom Leatherbury willreport, said there were several highly qualifiedapplicants, but Leatherbury “rose to the top” of theapplicants interviewed.

Holden said along with his many favorableattributes and qualifications, he received excellentrecommendations from the heads of local anduniversity law enforcement agencies. One citedLeatherbury as “a natural leader, with a highdegree of political savvy and charisma.”

“We appreciate the strides made andgroundwork laid by former chief Warner Sumpterduring his five years at the university, and by actingchief Kenneth Collins during his brief tenure” Bellsaid. “Both have paved the way for the leadershipand direction that Lt. Leatherbury will bring to helpmove the university forward in maintaining a safeenvironment.”

Renting textbooks at UMES Bookstore saves students money

UMES students saved big by renting their textbooks at UMES’ NeeboBookstore. Those who rented their textbooks for the spring semester saveda total of $62,063 over the cost of purchasing the same textbooks.

“The savings add up quickly,” Ashley Jones, bookstore manager, said.“Renting a textbook can save students up to 50 percent compared topurchasing a book. Last semester, the UMES Bookstore rented 1,483textbooks, which saved students an average of $41.85 per book.”

With increasing costs of attending college, students are looking forways to be frugal, making the textbook rental program especially popular.Those who rented their textbooks saw their total savings printed at thebottom of their receipt. Often, the amount a student saved by renting theirtextbooks was more than the total cost of their bill.

“There are many options for buying or renting textbooks. It’s great toknow that our store offers students real savings,” Jones said. “Plus, there’sthe added benefit of being able to pick out books and not have to wait tosee if the correct book will arrive on time and in good condition.”

For more information on textbook rentals or purchases, call the UMESBookstore at 410-651-6437.

?Four of UMES’ 15 leaders have been women: Portia L.Bird (1897-99), Delores R. Spikes (1997-2001), Thelma B.Thompson (2002-11) and Juliette B. Bell (2012-present).

A 17-acre solar-power collection system made UMESMaryland’s first college to make a major investment inthat form of “green” energy.

Thurgood Marshall was the university’s 1957commencement speaker, three years after successfullyarguing the Brown vs. the Board of Education schooldesegregation case before the U.S. Supreme Court,where he would eventually serve.

UMES awarded 724 degrees during the just completed2012-13 school year, including 30 doctorates in thelargest class to graduate from its physical therapyprogram.

U M E S A C A D E M I C P R O G R A M S

The institution known today as the University of MarylandEastern Shore opened Sept. 13, 1886, when as a preparatoryschool, it enrolled nine students taught by Principal BenjaminO. Bird and his wife, Portia.

Initially, it was a branch of Baltimore’s Centenary BiblicalInstitute under the auspices of the Delaware Conference of theMethodist Episcopal Church. By the end of the first school year,the new Delaware Conference Academy’s enrollment had morethan quadrupled to 37 students.

Centenary became Morgan College in 1890. The PrincessAnne campus frequently was referred to as the “IndustrialBranch” because along with traditional subjects, it offeredvocational training in agriculture and related trades of the era.

That same year, Congress adopted legacy legislation toprovide funding to “land-grant” schools, which states operatedspecifically to teach blacks how to be successful farmers.

Maryland, however, had no such formal arrangement inthe late 19th century, and blacks were not allowed to study atMaryland Agriculture College in College Park. The state enteredinto a partnership with Morgan College to provide some of theannual federal money as a supplement to what the MethodistEpiscopal Church spent operating Princess Anne Academy.

Official state documents of the early 20th century routinelydescribed the academy as the Eastern Branch of MarylandAgriculture College. By agreement in 1919, the University ofMaryland assumed management of the campus in PrincessAnne even though legally it remained in the hands of MorganCollege trustees until 1936.

In the midst of the Great Depression, the state boughtPrincess Anne College, as it alternating had come to be known,paving the way for it to become a public, four-year institution.

Princess Anne College was renamed Maryland StateCollege in 1948, a division of the University of Maryland.

On July 1, 1970, college’s name changed yet again – thistime to the University of Maryland Eastern Shore to reflect itsteaching and research missions.

With strong support from the Board of Regents, theUniversity System of Maryland and faculty, UMES has developeda diverse curriculum that reflects its colorful past andaddresses the educational expectations of the 21st century.

When LetitiaDeLaine receivedher doctorateMay 17 duringUMES’ 2013springcommencement,she pennedanother chapterin her family’s remarkable story of education pioneers.

She took a chance three years ago by becoming one of the first students to enrollin UMES’ new pharmacy school.

Her great-granduncle, the late Rev. Joseph A. DeLaine Sr., was also a trailblazer.He was a civil rights leader in South Carolina behind Briggs v. Elliott, the first of fiveschool desegregation lawsuits that eventually were argued collectively before the U.S.Supreme Court

Fifty-nine years ago – also on May 17 – the court issued the landmark “Brown v.the Board of Education of Topeka, Kan.” decision that transformed public education.

The serendipity of the calendar is not lost on Letitia, who at 29, knows the valueof education and appreciates her ancestor’s role in changing our nation.

“Education has always been important to my family,” she said. “When I think ofwhat my uncle and his family endured, it’s humbling and inspiring.”

Harry and Eliza Briggs and other black adults in Summerton, S.C. after WorldWar II believed the path to overcoming discrimination they and their childrenendured daily was through education.

“All they wanted was a bus so their children wouldn’t have to walk” to school,Letitia said. R.W. Elliott and other whites who controlled the public school financesrefused to provide transportation because they contended the parents of blackchildren didn’t pay enough taxes to justify the expense.

As the Briggs’ case made its way successfully through the courts, African-Americans in Clarendon County faced retaliation. They were harassed andintimidated. Many lost their jobs or businesses and moved away.

DeLaine also felt the backlash. With help in 1955, he fled South Carolina, neverto return, and found safe haven in New York. He eventually resettled in North Carolinato be near family, including Letitia’s great grandfather.

As a child, Letitia remembers family stories about “the Rev. J.A.”, but did notgrasp their importance until she reached high school.

“The more I researched, the more I realized how big a deal it was to the wholeworld, and what my family’s role was – what contributions my family made, whatsacrifices they had to make,” she said.

Her parents hold master’s degrees, and five paternal aunts and uncles arecollege educated. One is a lawyer, another is an engineer, and a third is studying to bea nurse.

Letitia graduated from North Carolina A&T in 2007 with a chemistry degree andworked as a pharmacy technician. A career as a pharmacist appealed to her whenshe saw “there is more to it than standing behind a counter dispensing medicine.”

“It is a way to make a difference in people’s lives, which is something that hasmotivated the DeLaines for generations,” she said.

Letitia’s family attended her graduation, quietly content May 17 once again is animportant date in their collective history.

“It’s not something I spend a lot of time thinking about or talking about,” shesaid, “but I’m proud of the role my family had” in making history.
