On October 28, 2016, the ABET Awards Gala was held in Baltimore, MD to award and recognize members for their outstanding achievements. One of these awards, the Claire L. Felbinger Award for Diversity, was awarded to Dr. Renetta Tull. The Claire L. Felbinger Award for Diversity is awarded to a recipient who resembles Claire L. Felbinger in advocating diversity. Claire Felbinger was a member of the Board of Delegates where she was the first person to bring up the topic and significance of diversity. Since then, she has been an active and influential advocate on diversity, including the creation of a policy on diversity. She passed away in 2008, but her advocacy in diversity continues to live on. Each year, ABET presents the Claire L. Felbinger Award for Diversity to recognize people who walk in her footsteps and carry out the same goals and visions.
Dr. Renetta Tull was awarded this prestigious award for her “visionary leadership as founding director of the PROMISE: Maryland’s Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate and her commitment to achieving greater diversity and inclusion in technical fields.” PROMISE AGEP was initially founded in 2003, which was an alliance between the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), University of Maryland Baltimore (UMB), and the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP). As stated on our website, “PROMISE: Maryland’s AGEP is a university system-wide effort for the state of Maryland to facilitate underrepresented STEM graduate student and postdoctoral professional development and pathways to careers.” In 2013, PROMISE AGEP expanded to outreach to the entire University System of Maryland (USM) and to postdoctoral fellows. The new expansion also included a new Professors in Training (PROF-IT) program, which allowed graduate students to teach at universities within USM, Anne Arundel Community College, the Community College of Baltimore County, and Ana G Mendez University Capital Area Campus.
PROMISE AGEP provides professional development seminars/workshops, conference opportunities, and networking opportunities. It is also an excellent support system for all graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Our mission is to help increase graduate student retention, provide a support system and a sense of belonging for graduate students, particularly underrepresented minorities in STEM fields, and increase the graduation rate of underrepresented minorities. Through PROMISE AGEP, Dr. Renetta Tull is helping to achieve greater diversity and inclusion in technical fields.
Congratulations, Dr. Renetta Tull, for receiving the 2016 Claire L. Felbinger’s Award!

Nov. 16, 2016 – CIRTL Workshop: Universal Design For Learning
On November 16, 2016, PROMISE AGEP will be providing an in-person “Learning Community” for CIRTL’s “
Universal Design for Learning (UDL): Reaching and Teaching Diverse Learners” workshop. Light refreshments will be served, This event is open to all USM campuses. All participants need to RSVP on this website AND register on the CIRTL website.
Event Details:
Event: Universal Design for Learning: Reaching and Teaching Diverse Learners
Date: November 16, 2016
Time: 1:45 PM – 4:15 PM EST
Location: NEW: Please use your individual computers to access this seminar. We will not have a group session due to the nature of the delivery (this is a change from the original plan to broadcast the event from a conference room.) The instructors need each person to have their own computers and headsets. Please register on the CIRTL website.
Instructors: Carolyn Sandoval and Vernee Butterfield, Texas A&M University
Registration: Click the “I Can Attend” button
AND register on the
CIRTL website: (Note: Registration on CIRTL website is
October 24, 2016 – November 7, 2016),
Agenda:
2:00 PM – 4:00 PM: In-person viewing of the “Universal Design for Learning” workshop
Details as per the CIRTL website:
Why does Universal Design matter? Course design based on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles provides a framework and strategies that recognize the unique backgrounds, experiences, and abilities of our students and helps us design courses that are inclusive and accessible to our diverse learners. Originating from the field of architecture, UDL made the physical world accessible to people with disabilities, but also demonstrated how everyone can benefit from these principles.
What will the workshop cover? This workshop will assist participants in preparing to teach new courses and/or revise existing courses using Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles and practices. Participants will have the opportunity to clarify student learning outcomes, learn about teaching methods that can reach a broader range of learners, and consider ways to apply UDL principles to reduce barriers to learning in their courses.
Facilitators: Dr. Carolyn L. Sandoval, Instructional Consultant, Texas A&M University; Vernee Butterfield, Texas A&M University.
Who’s invited? Anyone can register for our workshop, though students from CIRTL institutions will be given preference. Registration will be open Monday, October 24 through Monday, November 7.
What’s required of me before and after the workshop? Prior to the workshop, participants will be provided with a sample course syllabus and will be asked to review and document initial impressions related to course design. Following the workshop, participants will be asked to incorporate concepts learned into a revised syllabus and upload the revisions into Moodle for peer review. Instructors estimate these pre- and post-workshop tasks will take about 2 hours.
Where will the workshop take place? We’ll use Moodle to host assignments and discussion boards before and after the workshop; you’ll automatically receive a Moodle account once you’re enrolled in the workshop. The live session on the 16th, which everyone is required to attend, will take place in Blackboard Collaborate. To participate in the Blackboard Collaborate sessions, you will need to download the necessary software and have access to headphones and a computer with a microphone and camera.
Accessibility: We want to make this workshop accessible to as many people as possible. If you have questions about the workshop content, how to register, or how to use the required technology, contact kdiamond3 AT wisc.edu.

Brian V. Jones photographs, Special Collections highlight
Street Scenes & African American Churches of the D.C. area
The Special Collections at the Albin O. Kuhn Library & Gallery is very pleased to announce that our
Brian V. Jones photographs have been described and the
finding aid* is now available online!
Brian V. Jones is a local documentary style photographer, born in Pine Bluff, Arkansas in 1952. He has a Bachelor’s degree from Howard University and a Master’s degree from Illinois Institute of Technology. He has been a professor of photography since the late 1980s and his photographs are in the collections of the National Museum of American Art, the Schomberg Center for Research in Black Culture, Colgate University, and in numerous private collections. Since 1980, he has focused on diverse large scale projects. He currently serves as Professor of Photography and Coordinator of the Media Arts & Technologies Dept. at Montgomery College in Rockville, MD.
This collection consists of 165 gelatin silver prints (black-and-white) and chromogenic color prints by photographer Brian V. Jones and is comprised of three series**: Series I: Street Scenes; Series II: African American Churches in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., 1981-1989; and Series III: Connecticut Avenue Series. The Brian V. Jones photographs have also been added to our
Researching African-American Photographers research guide.
Come check out the rest of Brian Jones’s photographs and see a slice of life from the DMV in the 1980's -1990s -- available at
Special Collections!
Below is a sampling from this collection:
From Series I we have Crowd at DuPont Circle fountain (Box 1, item P2010-25-019) and Park benches and bird on water fountain (Box 8, item P2010-25-155).
From Series II there is Shiloh Baptist Church (Box 2, item P2010-25-040) and St. Paul’s Community Church (P2010-25-047).
From Series III we have Anchorage (Box 6, item P2010-25-126) and Saw Player (Box7, item P2010-25-140)
There are currently plans underway to digitize the entire collection. Any students interested in interning on this project should contact
Special Collections.
* A finding aid is a description of materials that assists users to gain access to and understand the materials. They provide context about the collection and consolidate information about the collection, often including administrative history or biographical note of the creator; scope of the collection, including size, subjects, media; organization and arrangement; and a container list with box, folder, and sometimes item listing.
** A series is a mid-level organizational concept used by archivists to organize a collection. In general, items in archives, and here in Special Collections, are organized by collection, series, box, folder, and finally item. However, this is highly dependent upon the size of a collection; some collections consist of a single box, others span many boxes such as the Brian V. Jones photographs which are housed in 8 boxes (and take up 10.25 linear feet!). Linear feet is a measurement used by archives to estimate the amount of space a collection will take up, the Brian V. Jones photographs use over ten feet of shelf space. To learn more about primary sources and how to use them check out:

This post was written by Austin Kibler, an intern at Special Collections during the summer of 2016. Thanks, Austin!

Nov. 16, 2016: Writing for Professional Development Workshop
We will be hosting our annual graduate writing seminar, sponsored by GSA and PROMISE AGEP! Our guest speakers will discuss writing topics for professional development. Susan Hindle, Assistant Director of Internships and Employment at the Career Center, will be talking about writing to acquire employment – personal statements, cover letters, resume. Susan will also likely touch on other resources available through the career center. Dr. Kevin Omland, Professor in the Biological Sciences Department, will discuss about writing for publications: how to choose journals to submit to, how to evaluate those journals to curtail one’s own writing, how to improve one’s chances at finally acquiring publication. Please come to listen to seminars on writing for professional development! Refreshments will be served.
