“Superstorm” Sandy forced the cancellation of classesMonday and Tuesday this week and prompted UMES leadersto order a mandatory Monday evacuation of students who hadremained in residence halls on campus.

The storm knocked out power across Somerset County atdusk Monday, triggering a back-up generator in the StudentServices Center, the primary shelter for some 700 students.Students also were housed in the Hytche Athletic Center.

Power was restored about eight hours later and most ofthe sheltered students were back in their dormitories shortlyafter sunrise, when it was clear the storm had passed the area.

A university leadership team overseeing planning andlogistics for dealing with the storm praised students andstudent-leaders for their cooperation during the emergencyevacuation.

UMES’ response was noticed in the community.“Everyone we spoke to (Monday) night was singing the

praises of how UMES reacted to the situation. Great job,” saidSarah Truitt, news director at WMDT in Salisbury.

Aside from a couple of downed trees and some isolatedspots where water seeped into buildings, the campussustained no major damage.

Hsia is the recipient of amajor National Institutes ofHealth grant

School of Business students connect with FDIC

Dr. Victor Hsia, an associate professor of pharmaceutical sciences, isthe recipient of a major National Institutes of Health grant he will use tounderwrite ongoing research into the link between the virus that causescold sores, blindness and brain lesions.

Over the next five years, Hsia will receive just under $750,000 to fundhis investigation into “the cellular and molecular mechanisms of herpessimplex virus (HSV) during lytic and latent infections.”

The NIH program that selected Hsia’s proposal is considered one ofthe most prestigious administered by the federal agency, according to Dr.Nicholas Blanchard, dean of UMES’ School of Pharmacy and HealthProfessions.

“This is the most competitive research award to have been received bya biomedical scientist working on this campus,” added Catherine Bolek,director of UMES’ Sponsored Research & Programs Office.

The grant award comes as Hsia is about to begin his 20th year ofinquiry into how and why the herpes simplex (1) virus, which in mostpeople is benign, can become virulent and cause blindness.

“We do not fully understand the molecular reactions of this virus,”Hsia said. “That’s where my focus will be.”

Hsia said he’s found evidence that people with serious health problemssuch as hormone imbalance, are more susceptible to the HSV becomingaggressive. There are also indications that people living in lower socio-economic conditions are more likely to develop complications from thevirus as well.

Two Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.recruiters visited the UMES School of Businessand Technology in mid-October to givestudents advice on strategies for being bettermoney managers and pursuing jobs with theindependent agency.

Some two dozen students and handful ofUMES faculty spent an hour Oct. 17 listening toKaren Jones Currie and her colleague, AlfredN. Murdock Jr., discuss topics such aspersonal credit ratings and what job skills theFDIC looks for in prospective employees.

“We wanted to tell students about theopportunities we have at the FDIC andintroduce them to financial literacy concepts,”said Currie, a senior examination specialist.

Murdock, also an examination specialistwho graduated from Morgan State University,told students that strong writing and communication skills are critical to beinga strong job candidate.

“All that shorthand that students rely on in text messages and Twitter arenot very helpful when we’re looking at job applicants,” Murdock said. “You

“Untreated, it is easy to get a baddiagnosis,” Hsia said.

In some instances, he said,complications caused by a virulent formof the HSV can be fatal.

“Getting a major NIH grant is notonly great news for Dr. Hsia, who isrespected researcher, but it is also terrificnews for the School of Pharmacy andHealth Profession here at UMES,”Blanchard said. “It shows we have top-

flight faculty who can successfully compete for these grant opportunitieswith institutions across the country. His colleagues and I offer ourcongratulations.”

Hsia received a Bachelor of Science degree from National TaiwanUniversity and earned his doctorate in microbiology / immunology fromWayne State University in Detroit. He continued his research as apostdoctoral fellow at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md.from 1999-2004.

Prior to his appointment at the UMES School of Pharmacy, Hsia was onthe faculty at the University of Louisiana Monroe - College of Pharmacy. Hetaught courses of basic sciences such as pharmacology, immunology,physiology and pharmacogenetics.

He has been a successful grant-writer for much of his career. Hesecured two research grants as the Principal Investigator: Louisiana Boardof Regents Research Competitiveness Grant and NIH Academic ResearchEnhancement Award Grants - (R15).

One of Hsia’s specialties is utilizing tools of molecular biology, cellbiology, and biochemistry to study the effect of viral infections on thecorneal and neuronal cells, and to measure cellular responses to the viralreplication/gene expression.

need to get away from that habit.”Their visit also served as groundwork

the university and FDIC hope will lead toplacing UMES students in internships. Currieand Murdock told students that interns whowork for the agency tend to have a leg up onother job applicants.

Dr. Ayodele Alade, UMES’ businessschool dean, said nurturing partnerships likethe one with the FDIC is a priority.

“The students have an opportunity toparticipate in internship programs with theFDIC and in recruitment efforts with them,”Alade said. “The presentation made studentsmore knowledgeable about regulatorymeasures that affect financial institutions.”

Currie and Murdock said that new hiresat the FDIC go through an intensive training

period that can last up to four years – similar to a graduate school.“The students were very engaging during the presentation,” Murdock said.Murdock and Currie exchanged contact information with students after the

presentation, a key component both said is important in networking for jobs.

Clay’s mother, Denese, addressed the gatheringthat also brought together faculty, staff andPresident Juliette B. Bell. Jeffery Clay stoodalongside his wife, gently stroking her shoulderwhen she paused to regain her composure as sheexpressed appreciation to students and their lovefor their late son.

Denese Clay described how her son had gottena tattoo featuring a Bible verse from Psalm 27: “TheLord is my light and my salvation…,” which shesaid was a true reflection of who her son was.

“He was the light of our life … that went outtoo soon,” she told the students.

Members of Clay’s family, UMES administratorsand special guests held lit candles as they sat at thefoot of a portable stage. A prayer was offered by aWesley Foundation representative, while ChristinaJones, Miss UMES, sang “Yesterday,” a gospel songpopularized by the group Mary Mary.

Dr. Bell said participating in a vigil was thesingle-most difficult task of being a universitypresident, something she hoped never to do again.Looking at Clay’s parents, she said that she knewthe pain of losing a young loved one.

Earlier in the day, four poster-size condolencecards were set out in the SSC Rotunda for studentsto sign. As the vigil ended, two bouquets of whiteballoons were released and the cards and anenlarged photo of Clay were presented to hisparents, who then hugged and consoled a stream ofwell-wishers.

Kelvin Sewell released a statement through aspokeswoman at the Baltimore hospital where hisdaughter was being treated expressing appreciationfor the assistance rescue and health careprofessionals had provided, and asked well-wishers to respect the family’s privacy.

When UMES Residence LifeArea directors Clifton Harcum andPhillip Thomas set out to do acommunity service project, they doit in a big way.

The “Day of Thanksgiving”effort begun in 2009 to feed familiesin need in the Tri-County area hasgrown dramatically. In its first year,150 families received boxes filledwith the makings of a holidaydinner; the next, 300. Last year,600 meals were distributed and thisyear, on Nov. 17—the goal is 900.

If they were in the proverbialstory land, they’d be the conductors on the “Little Engine That Could.”

“We have created an annual event that supports members of thecommunity who are challenged to feed their families on a daily basis,”Thomas said. “Being able to unite the campus and our neighbors, thecommunity, to organize such an effort speaks to the character of thosearound us.”

Harcum and Thomas have again engaged the help of area socialservices offices and local community organizations to identify families thatqualify for assistance. Vouchers have already been given to these agenciesto be passed along to families so they can pick up their meals on thedesignated day. No meals will be served, Harcum said.

The Maryland Food Bank in Salisbury and area businesses donate non-perishable food items that volunteers from the University of MarylandEastern Shore and the community will pack at 7 a.m. and distribute tofamilies from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Pictured at the Oct 18 opening reception, from left, are: ChristopherHarrington, professor and chair, UMES Department of Fine Arts; CorrineBeardsley, interim director, Mosely Gallery; Jean Wortman, program offi-cer, Maryland Humanities Council; and Jennifer Ranck, director, Somer-set County Library System.
