State health and higher education leaders recently announced the formation of theMaryland Collaborative to Reduce College Drinking and Related Problems. The groupgenerated a report outlining what colleges are doing to address the issue, a “best practices”guide and an interactive website.

The collaborative brought together presidents of 10 institutions and was hosted by theUniversity System of Maryland Chancellor Brit Kirwan and the Johns Hopkins UniversityPresident Ronald J. Daniels. The University of Maryland Eastern Shore is one of the 10institutions.

Dr. Anthony Jenkins, vice president for student affairs and enrollment management, wasUMES’ chief liaison to the collaborative.

“The risks and consequences of high-risk drinking on college campuses aremonumental and must remain a top priority,” Jenkins said, adding “through morecomprehensive data collection, we have seen an increase in alcohol-related issues on ourcampus.”

According to the report, Maryland college students drink (alcohol) at levels similar tothe national average, though the highest risk drinkers in Maryland appear to drink moreheavily and are less likely to use services than their peers nationally.

In Maryland, 19 percent of underage and 22 percent of 21- to 24-year-old college

Like many teenagers who worked in restaurants,Sam Petrella didn’t think much of his stints as aserver or line cook. Those were jobs, not thebeginning of a career in the multibillion dollarrestaurant industry.

Then Petrella enrolled in UMES’ Hotel andRestaurant Management program at the Universitiesat Shady Grove in Montgomery County, embarking ona journey that landed him in the driver’s seat of alocal restaurant’s head-turning “AleBus” venture.

“I’m indebted to UMES and USG for theopportunity this has given me,” Petrella said.“Everything we did in the classroom was real life. Thefact it worked out for me the way it did is something Iam thankful for. It’s turned out to be great story.”

His story starts with a senior-year project. The assignment presentedhim with a challenge to develop a marketing plan for a restaurateur seekinga way to grow his business, Dogfish Head Alehouse, without investing inbricks and mortar. If “Dogfish Head” sounds familiar, it’s because theWashington-area restaurant owners have a license agreement with theMilton, Del. brewery of the same name.

With two classmates, Petrella researched the restaurant’s businessphilosophy to understand its goals and to develop a proposal they wouldpresent to a panel of judges recruited by USG.

“This program asks for more than good grades,” Petrella said. “We

had to prove that we were ready and able for somereal-life application.”

His proposal, which built on Dogfish HeadAlehouse’s unfulfilled vision of combining a foodtruck with a bold dollop of tourism, scored him highmarks with judges.

Shortly after receiving his degree in 2012, acall came from Dogfish Head Alehouse with a joboffer. The company hired Petrella, 25, to serve as arestaurant manager and a full-time contractor tolaunch the Dogfish Head AleBus.

“We’re taking the Dogfish brand mobile,”Petrella said.

It took three months to find a bus (retired fromthe District of Columbia schools’ fleet), retrofit it

and develop the business model. Petrella also earned a Commercial DriverLicense to drive it for events he books.

“Sam’s experience and knowledge, gleaned from the UMES program,combined with his business skills and entrepreneurial passion allowed himto spearhead the bus project successfully,” said Joe Hospital, an owner ofDogfish Head Alehouse.

“Sam took an idea that didn’t have any model – there’s no precedentfor what he was doing – and built the bus out of our and his imagination,”Hospital said. “He has done a great job in making this a great, viable

Why did you run for Mr. UMES? I've observed a lackof male leadership and I had a desire to be the guidinglight that changed the culture of men on this campus. Iwanted to ignite the flame of change that burns long aftermy graduation from this institution.

What do you hope to accomplish by the timeyou’re 25? I should have extensive knowledge in(public relations) which should position me to be wellon my way to creating my own firm.

If you could go anywhere in the world … I wouldtravel to Egypt, (during peace time) because there are so

many historical marvels there as well as where many historical events took place.

Something that you’re thankful for … The opportunities my position hasprovided. I have traveled across the country and networked with some amazing people.

What current TV commercial is your favorite? The Adidas commercialfeaturing Derrick Rose, which basically poses (to) him the question of what would hehave if he didn't have the money and the fame, and he replied "everything" because hecan still play basketball (and) continues to do what he loves.

How do you relieve stress during finals? Give yourself adequate study time, donot cram the night before, provide yourself with a sufficient night’s rest and eat ahealthy breakfast on any testing days. Also, utilize beneficial resources (tutoring, studygroups, etc.) and remain calm under pressure!

Hawks serve as elementary school mentors/coaches College students might not always act their age. University of

Maryland Eastern Shore student-athletes had a chance to revert totheir youth while volunteering at Pemberton Elementary School Oct. 9.

“This was a lot of fun,” said Skylar Murray, a freshman baseballstudent-athlete. Nine UMES student-athletes from baseball, women’sbasketball and track and field participated.

TeAmber Burke, a child development major and guard on thewomen’s basketball team said, “This gave us a chance to be active andteach the kids about the sports we love.”

The UMES Student-Athlete Advisory Committee takes part inplanning and coordinating many of the community outreach eventsthat student-athletes are involved with throughout the year.

At Pemberton, the Hawks played basketball, tag and attempted tobounce on a hippity-hop ball. And, if you have not seen collegestudents on kid-sized scooters, it is quite a sight. Dillon Simon (trackand field) and Chalyse Taylor (women’s basketball) were alsochallenged to a hula hoop contest by the pre-k and kindergartenchildren that were in attendance.

Simon was arguably more competitive than the five-year old hewas in the contest against, but both had fun and shared some laughs.

students meet criteria for alcohol abuse or dependence. Almost one-third ofunderage Maryland college students have driven impaired.

While most Maryland schools offer alcohol education programs and basictraining in how to identify and refer students with drinking problems, thecollaborative’s best practices guide recommends supplementing these effortswith actions that are more effective at changing individual behavior andmodifying the settings that influence students’ drinking decisions.

“Through the leadership of our Alcohol, Tobacco & Other DrugPrevention office, led by Dr. Kimberly Poole-Sykesand Mrs. Lauresa Wigfall,” Jenkins said, “we willcontinue to effectively address high-risk andunderage drinking at UMES.”

Participating schools will develop multi-levelinterventions, which aim to incorporate moreevidence-based practices in activities targetingindividual students, parents, and the largercommunities and environments in which collegestudent drinking occurs.

Jenkins noted, “The USM collaborativeinvited UMES to participate, in large part, becauseDr. Poole-Sykes’ and Mrs. Wigfall’s expertise was

tapped (two years ago) by Dartmouth College to help address college high riskdrinking at the national level.”

The collaborative is creating a measurement system to help collegesmeasure progress towards their goals and assess the effectiveness of newstrategies on multiple campuses.

The other nine institutions are: Allegany College of Maryland, FrostburgState University, Loyola University Maryland, McDaniel College, Notre Dame ofMaryland University, Towson University, the U.S. Naval Academy and theUniversity of Maryland Baltimore County.

“Being a part of the USM consortium is yet another example of howUMES’ faculty and staff are at the forefront of transforming higher education,”Jenkins said.

business enterprise.”Experienced faculty and industry experts prepare UMES students

like Petrella for careers in lodging, restaurant, travel, attractions,meeting and convention and food service industries.

UMES’ HRM students aspire to move up the ranks of majorcompanies while others have plans for entrepreneurial ventures,according to Susan Callahan, chef and a USG faculty member.

“Our challenge … is to help students figure out what they want todo and groom them with the skills and provide the experiences that willhelp them reach their goals,” Callahan said. “That’s the beauty of ourprogram. Because of our size and structure, we get to know ourstudents … and we can identify what they need to succeed.”

The bright green AleBus’ exterior conjures up memories of iconicwoody wagons made popular by the California surfing culture of the1950s and 1960s. Inside, the interior resembles the three Washington-area restaurants with seating for up to 16 people.

With Petrella behind the wheel, the bus visits festivals and footballgame tailgating events and even takes patrons on field trips to thebrewery in eastern Sussex County. Customers who book the bus arepicked up and dropped off at their homes.

“It’s non-negotiable. We’re very safety oriented,” Petrella said. “It’sabout responsible beer appreciation.”

The marketing novelty caught the eye of The Washington Post,which assigned a reporter to interview Petrella for an article.

Throughout his experience at USG, Petrella said he gained a richunderstanding of the complexities of owning a business and what takesto succeed with his long-term plans to open his own restaurant.

“In the restaurant industry, you have to be a paralegal, anaccountant and a chef, which all are three things that I didn’t think Iwas going to be doing,” he said. “On top of that, you have to manage theday-to-day of a restaurant. It demands a lot, but I know that’s what Iwant to do.”

Dr. Cynthia Cravens, an adjunct instructor inthe Department of English and Modern Languages,earned a doctorate in English from the University ofIllinois.

Cravens’ area of specialization is creativewriting. She is currently preparing her dissertationmanuscript for publication.

“ ‘A Novel of Manners’ is a social novel, a father-daughter novel, acoming-of-age novel, a mid-life crisis novel, a waning vitality novel andmore,” Cravens said. It takes place in 2005 on the island of Nantucketduring the week of the Daffodil Festival when “Longfellow quotes areobligatory and decorated hats drive the local economy.”

Other areas of research that capture her attention are film studies,particularly the practice of adaptation, and gender and women’s studiesin all aspects of American culture.

Cravens received bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Boston’sEmerson College in writing, publishing and literature and in creativewriting with a certificate in screenwriting, respectively. She onceconsidered a career in screenwriting in L.A., but said, “the lure ofgraduate school was of greater force and I studied film and literatureinstead.”

Jennifer Neumyer, a special collections andoutreach librarian in UMES’ Frederick DouglassLibrary, recently attended a leadership exchange atJohnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, N.C.Neumyer was among four librarians chosen from the100 HBCU Library Alliance member institutions.

Neumyer was selected based on her proposal todigitize records and photographs from 44 years of history of the PrincessAnne Chapter of the Links Inc. The chapter has strong ties to theuniversity, Neumyer said, with the majority of the charter membersconnected to UMES through work, their husband’s employ or as alumni.

One member, Mary Fair Burks, was also a civil right activist of somerenown, she said. Burks was the co-founder and first president of theWomen’s Political Council that helped organize the Montgomery, Ala. busboycott of the 1960s.

“I also chose the Links records because they are of a moremanageable size to work with before embarking on the extensive UMESarchives collection,” Neumyer said. Her proposal also expressed theneed to learn about the best practices, policies and proceduresnecessary for online digitization.

Dr. Stephanie Krah, was a presenter at theDelmarva Education Foundation’s second ScholarshipSponsors Forum Oct. 25 in Salisbury. Krah is UMES’director of retention in the Center for Access andAcademic Success.

Krah led a group discussion on the challenges ofcollege scholarship administration to more than 30

participants representing organizations and businesses in Maryland andDelaware that offer scholarships to local students.

The goal of the event was to provide a platform for attendees to learnabout and share best practices of scholarship program administrationincluding funding, promoting and awarding scholarships. It was sponsoredthrough a grant from the Maryland Higher Education Commission.

Dr. Madhumi Mitra won the Best Paper Award inthe Energy Conservation and Conversion Division at the2013 annual conference of the American Society forEngineering Education. Mitra is a professor ofbiological and environmental sciences at UMES and thecoordinator of biology and chemistry education.

The paper, titled “Energizing the STEAM curriculawith Bioenergy and Biproducts,” won among 32 paperspublished on the subject of energy engineeringeducation. Co-authors of the paper are Dr. AbhijitNagchaudhuri, professor of engineering and aviationsciences at UMES, and Dr. Corinne Rutzke, seniorresearch associate, biological and environmentalengineering at Cornell University.

The paper will be recognized in the main plenary session of the 2014meeting of the ASEE in Indianapolis, Ind., next June.

Mitra and Nagchaudhuri have also been elected to serve as next year’sdivision officers for the Energy Conservation and Conversion Division of the ASEE.

Peter Stanford, interim chair of UMES’ PhysicianAssistant Department, attended the Oct. 18 annualconference of the Physician Assistant Educator’sAssociation in Memphis, Tenn.

As a community service outreach of theconference, Stanford participated in Project ACCESS.He, along with other PA educators attending the event,

visited the Booker T. Washington High School to educate minority studentsabout opportunities in the health care field.

Project ACCESS, he said, has visited community colleges, rural andinner city high schools since 1987 to encourage students from medicallyunderserved and underrepresented populations to stay in school, studyhard and consider the PA profession.
