Participating artists in this year’s exhibitare Rob Bennett, Marcus Fletcher, ChrisGreen, Angel Timmons and Kason Washington.

Bennett will be the first student to

graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in theuniversity’s new concentration, sequential arts,also known as comic book art. Bennett hasfeatured his work at comic book conventionsin New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore.

Fletcher, who pursued a degree inapplied design/graphic illustration, createswork that focuses on natural realism or “theworlds of fantasy, sci-fi and the macabre.” Acommon theme in his artwork is the colorblack, which represents the ominous void oflife and certain death.

Green also majored in graphicillustration. However, unlike Fletcher, his“graffiti-style” work is displayed in brightcolors. His artwork is geared toward thosewho have been rejected because they thoughtor acted against the norm of society.

University receives $10,000 gift forThe Arts and Professions

Couple givesback to theiralma mater

The School of the Arts and Professions at the University ofMaryland Eastern Shore received a recent $10,000 boost in the formof an alumni gift to its Dean’s Discretionary Fund.

Owen Johnson, a 1969 alumnus from the school when it wasknown as Maryland State College, made the gift—a pledgecommitment.

The fund opened in 2008 with a $1,000 gift by Maryland StateCollege Classes of 1958-63. Their goal was to provide funds forfaculty and student support and for special projects for thedepartment at the dean’s discretion.

“Mr. Johnson’s commitment to provide financial support toUMES is commendable,” said Dr. Rita Lamb, interim dean of theSchool of the Arts and Professions. “His gift enhances our ability toprovide the excellent educational experiences necessary for studentsuccess and competitiveness in the 21st century.”

"Even in these uncertain economic times, university alumnicontinue to believe in the power of philanthropy and remain movedby the unselfish desire to return back to this university somemeasure of opportunity that was given to them. As a result of theircontinued investment and commitment to giving back, we moveforward,” said Kimberly Dumpson J.D., director of alumni affairs andplanned giving at UMES.

Two retired educators who areUMES alumni are starting The Loretta andDaniel Savoy Fund for Human Ecology tohelp future students defray tuition bills.The $10,000 gift from the Salisburycouple is one of the latest donationstoward the $14 million campaign to raisemoney for scholarships.

Loretta Savoy graduated from UMES in 1974 with a bachelor’s degree inhome economics. She spent 37 years working in public schools, first as a homeeconomics and child development teacher, then as Wicomico County schools’food and nutrition supervisor.

“As alumni of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, we were the first inour immediate families to pursue a college education,” Loretta Savoy said. “Wereceived much assistance and care while attending. Our goal is to continue togive to the educational institution that gave much to us.”

She credits her high school home economics teacher, who was a MarylandState alumna, with encouraging her to attend college. “She was such a great rolemodel for me at that time in my life,” said Loretta Savoy, who grew up inAnnapolis.

Her husband, Daniel, is a 1967 graduate who earned a bachelor’s degree inagriculture when UMES was known as Maryland State College. Daniel Savoy spentfour decades as an educator in Anne Arundel and Wicomico counties. He wasprincipal of James M. Bennett High School in Salisbury from 1986 to 1997 andspent the last 10 years of his career as Wicomico County’s science coordinator.

The couple belongs to Dr. Thelma B. Thompson’s “President’s Club,” agroup whose members make annual $1,000 contributions to help withinstitutional needs like scholarships. The Savoys recently decided to do more tohelp future generations of students get a college education that served them wellas adults.

“We know it is important to provide assistance to students who mightotherwise be unable to pursue their educational aspirations,” said Daniel Savoy,an Upper Marlboro, Md., native.

The fund, once fully endowed, will provide need-based financial aid forstudents pursuing degrees in child development, dietetics, nutrition, family andconsumer sciences, family and consumer sciences education and fashionmerchandising—areas within the Department of Human Ecology.

The Savoys’ generosity “will go a long way in providing much neededfinancial support for (our) students,” said Dr. Nina Bennett, chair of UMES’Department of Human Ecology. “This scholarship will be the difference betweena student deciding to drop out because of finances or staying in school andgraduating.”

“It is my sincere hope,” Dr. Bennett said, “that other alumni will see thesignificant impact of this financial gift and choose to follow the example set byDaniel and Loretta Savoy.”

The Savoy Fund is accepting additional gifts, according to KimberlyDumpson J.D., the university’s director of alumni affairs and planned giving.UMES is in the final year of a seven-year campaign to raise student scholarshipfunds. To make a gift to this fund or the campaign, contact Dumpson at 410-651-7686 or by email at kdumpson@umes.edu.

“It lets people feel that everything does not have to look naturalto feel realistic," Timmons said.

At age 10, he completed his first mural atHalstead Academy in Baltimore, which was also featured in a localnewspaper.

Three UMES seniors scheduled to graduate later this month got a rareopportunity Nov. 11 to display their considerable talent for creating art inan unorthodox setting – a local sports bar.

In collaboration with businessman Jerry Bivens, professionalphotographer Joey Gardner converted Oscar’s Americana Grille and SportsBar into a bohemian art gallery for one night. On display were the works ofChristopher Green, Angel Washington and Kason Washington.

Gardner met Washington this past spring and struck up a conversationabout promoting “town-and-gown” activities. The two agreed informally towork on staging an art show featuring student work.

Gardner was impressed by the quality of Washington’s art and that ofhis classmates. Each hung 10 of their favorite pieces at Oscar’s and thenreveled in the praise from townspeople and fellow students. Green’smother, father and sister traveled from Virginia Beach to attend the show.

“Their work is just beautiful – absolutely gorgeous,” said JenniferSullivan, a Pennsylvania native who now lives in Princess Anne.

Pam Lower of Princess Anne gazed in amazement at Green’s spot-onreproduction of Rembrandt’s self-portrait. “I don’t know art, but that (oil

painting) is really, really good. I can’t believe college kids did this,” shesaid.

Green, a graphic illustration major, picked UMES after attending ascience and technology summer camp while in high school. “It just seemedlike a close-knit community.”

Timmons, who grew up in Baltimore, dabbled in art before college,but had no formal training until she enrolled at UMES. “I thought it wasgoing to be really hard,” the applied design major said. “I ended up one ofthe top (art department) students. I’m really proud of that.”

Solomon Isekeije, UMES’ interim art department chairman, saidTimmons, Green and Washington and their peers might be among theuniversity’s best-kept secrets.

“We hope to change that,” Isekeije said. “This is a start.”Washington, who grew up in Towson and bears a resemblance to a

young Eddie Murphy, called the one-night show “one of the most excitingnights of my life.” Friends and strangers heaped praise on the applied designmajor as they admired his black-and-white pencil drawing of a male lionone observer said looked like the work of someone twice Washington’s age.

Ethnic Festival celebrates diversity

UMES’ annual Ethnic Festival attracted its usual enthusiastic gatheringin the Student Services Center ballroom, which was filled with music, danceand the aroma of international dishes that you can’t find on campus dininghall menus.

The Nov. 18 event, sponsored by UMES’ Center for InternationalEducation under the direction of Dr. Sarah Acquah, is organized inconjunction with International Education Week.

UMES is the academic home this year to 193 students from 33 nations,according to the university’s office of institutional research.

That diversity was not lost on native-born students and theirinternational classmates, who enjoyed a midday respite from the challengeof finishing academic work in the fall semester.

Some of the international students donned traditional dress from theirhome nations, adding a bit of visual flair to the ballroom.

Near the entrance, Isis Amaye and Rosemary Adurumokumo, bothfreshmen from Nigeria, dished up servings of chicken and palm kernels(banga) and tomato, spinach and beans (egusi) to fellow students. Theyhad little trouble giving away samples.

“This is wonderful,” Amaye said. “I’m really enjoying it.”Adurumokumo says her experience at UMES has been “great” so far,

although adjusting to the weather of North America has been challenging.Amaye said she too is enjoying her experience as a student, but has

noticed some American food is “too sweet.” Nutritionists worried aboutobesity would agree.

Sophomore John Kahler visited the festival to gather information for anassignment on cultural diversity for a criminal justice class.

“It’s great seeing all the different styles of dress and food in oneplace,” said Kahler, who is from Hartford County. “You don’t get this backhome.” Kahler said his favorite food was a Bangladeshi dish.

Eden Park, a junior, was born in America but traces his family roots toKorea. He served helpings of bulgogi – a beef, peppers and carrot dish overrice.

The 2010 festival was his third and he said he participates as a favor toDr. Acquah, whom he says “works very hard to make this a success.”

Spoorthy Raj Guram Venkat and Divya Kommineni wore traditionalattire from India and smiled at visitors to their table who were there tosample chicken biryani, a dish featuring rice, cloves, cinnamon, cumin,coriander power and cardamom.

Both saw participation in the Ethnic Festival as a way to demonstratethat people from India “are very friendly.”

Sophomores Chelby Mosley of Salisbury and Terrica Holden ofTemperanceville, Va., said the festival provided an opportunity to begastronomically adventuresome.

“I’m not too much of a daredevil when it comes to different food,”Mosley said. “But I like the baked chicken” offered at the tablerepresenting Guinea. “Plus, I like to see how (international students) dressand do different dances.

Students from India, from left, are Spoorthy Venkat, Nikhil Putta, Rakesh
