Archives Gold #36: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th
A Photograph of Shriver Center Board from the 1990s
Special Collections continues our archival project Archives Gold: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th, a special series showcasing 50 different objects that tell the story of UMBC. This week we present a photograph of the Shriver Center Board featuring President Hrabowski, Sargent Shriver, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, and Mark Shriver.
Portrait of Shriver Center Board, circa 1995-1999. UARC 2013-013-07-0576, University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD)
In December of 1993, UMBC's Center for Learning Through Work and Service was transformed into the Shriver Center, named in honor of Eunice Kennedy Shriver and Sargent Shriver, sister and brother-in-law to former president John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The center was constructed on the Shriver's life goals of service, with a mission to use the resources of a higher learning university to solve and confront current social problems within UMBC and the surrounding Baltimore community.
Various pre-existing UMBC programs were continued at the new Shriver Center, including the Choice Program (a community-based, family advocacy program that works with troubled youth), while other new programs were introduced including the Shriver Peaceworker Program (a service based fellowship program that supports returned Peace Corps members). Both programs continue to be run to this day.

Researcher of the Week: Joelle Cusic
Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!
Meet Joelle,
She is a
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major and a
URA Scholar. Joelle is a premed student, a TA for Biology 142 and was also a Woolie for the new students during Welcome Week 2015. After graduation, she plans to pursue an MD (hopefully, at University of Maryland School of Medicine) and would like to specialize in oncology. She feels that the field of oncology would allow her to be able to have the opportunity to treat patients and promote health wellness and prevention within the community while also opening the doors to do research on genetic diseases and to continue studying how mutations of genes found in DNA can cause and affect cancer.
Her research will examine the toxin Crotamine that is present in the venom of Crotalus durissus terrificus, the South American rattlesnake. Crotamine has been shown to have a preference for targeting rapidly proliferating cells, such as malignant cancer cells, and displays numerous other functions, including DNA delivery and localization to the nucleus upon penetrating the cell.
Read more about her research here…

Archives Gold #35: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th
A Poster from Shakespeare on Wheels' Romeo and Juliet 1986
Special Collections continues our archival project Archives Gold: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th, a special series showcasing 50 different objects that tell the story of UMBC. This week we present a poster from the production of Shakespeare on Wheels' Romeo and Juliet in the summer of 1986.
Shakespeare on Wheels Romeo and Juliet Poster, 1986. University Publications, University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD)
Shakespeare on Wheels was a summer outreach program created by the UMBC Theatre Department in 1985 which performed Shakespeare plays to communities throughout Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The play setups were transported through a portable stage which was mounted on a 20 by 40 foot tractor-trailer. The program was two fold: it allowed for the UMBC Theatre Department to bring free performances of Shakespearean plays to various communities and it enabled UMBC students to learn techniques of touring theater. The program reached national success with articles and reviews written from as far away as Cambridge, England. Eventually, due to funding difficulties Shakespeare on Wheels ceased operation in 1997.

Archives Gold #34: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th
A Baltimore Sun Photograph of 1981 Student Protest at UMBC
Special Collections continues our archival project Archives Gold: 50 Objects for UMBC's 50th, a special series showcasing 50 different objects that tell the story of UMBC. This week we present a photograph from our collection of Baltimore Sun photographs that shows UMBC students protesting the proposed closing of the UMBC campus in 1981.
Photograph of UMBC Student Protesters, March 1, 1981. Baltimore Sun Photographs, P2014-01-0073, University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD)
Student activism and protest has been a part of the UMBC campus since it was first opened in 1966. The photograph above shows a specific student protest in 1981 in response to a proposal from the State Board of Higher Education to close down the UMBC campus and turn it into an industrial park. Students quickly rallied behind the school. SGA president Scott Rifkin said at the time,
"Somebody is serious about this proposal, and if we aren't, we could be at the University of Baltimore next year!" -The UMBC Retriever, Volume 15, Number 19, p. 1.
However, the University of Maryland System President at the time John Toll and UMBC Chancellor John Dorsey both denied that the State Board of Higher Education was seriously considering closing down the UMBC campus. Regardless, the rumors prompted over one thousand students to gather on the Quad in March of 1981 and show their unified support for the university.
