  • Members of the #UMBaltimore community gathered in Leadership Hall on Feb. 6 as the University commemorated Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and #BlackHistoryMonth. In her keynote address, @angelaalsobrooks, JD '96, county executive for Prince George's County, shared the many ways in which King's influence plays a vital role in her life and career, and encouraged the audience to "redeem the dream" by keeping King's legacy of peace and justice alive. The event also featured the University’s annual Diversity Recognition Awards, chosen by UMB’s Diversity Advisory Council and presented by UMB President Jay A. Perman, MD. Musical selections were provided by Vocally Charged, a performance choir from @greenstreetacademy, under the direction of Joseph N. Eldridge. UMB Diversity Recognition Award Winners:Larry S. Gibson, LLB, a professor at @marylandcareylaw since 1974, won the Outstanding UMB Faculty Award for his career of promoting equality, justice, and opportunity, including his work in organizing the Black Law Alumni Reunion & Symposium for Carey Law graduates every five years since 2003.Vanessa Gonzalez-Wright of @mdsocialwork was named Outstanding UMB Student for her tireless efforts to advocate for vulnerable student populations and for UMB to be a more affirming place for immigrant students, most recently co-chairing a task force exploring the creation of a multicultural center on campus.Cherita F.

  • Families of children in first grade, kindergarten, and Pre-K @jamesmchenrybaltimore were treated to a science show on Jan. 24 to mark a special gift.

Picture here, the day’s events kicked off with a Silly Circus Science show complete with a lasso, scarves, and scary balancing act by Greg May, who told the eager children in the school’s auditorium, “Come see me at Port Discovery!”
  • This month, 22 #UMBCUREScholars got a glimpse of what they could potentially accomplish during a special tour of @coppinstateuniversity.The journey toward #highereducation for these students started four years ago, when they became the very first cohort of the UMB CURE Scholars Program, a unique mentoring/STEM education program aimed at reducing racial disparities in public health by establishing a pipeline to careers in #STEM. The program is funded by a National Cancer Institute grant to the University of Maryland Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center.Now in high school, these scholars have “graduated” to CURE Connections (C2). C2 is a continuation of the CURE program, funded by the @nigms_nih Science Education Partnership Award, that is specifically designed for ninth and tenth grade students.This visit to Coppin State is just one of many stops on the CURE Scholars' higher education tour. Earlier this semester they visited @towsonuniversity and in March they will be visiting @umbclife.

  • Shortly after earning her Master of Social Work from the @mdsocialwork in 2010, Nicole Mattocks’ work experience in Baltimore led her to wonder about the impact that physical disorder like graffiti, litter, or abandoned buildings could have on a person’s well-being. Through her years of studying at UMB, she had gained a base knowledge about how having access to green spaces and healthy, safe environments leads to overall positive community health. Now, she’s applying that knowledge as she completes her doctorate in #socialwork, focusing on the relationship between the physical environment and urban green spaces of Baltimore’s neighborhoods and #mentalhealth outcomes, such as depression and anxiety. . .Click the link in our profile to learn more about Nicole and all of our 2018 #UMBChampions, or visit umaryland.edu/champions. #WeAreUMB
