CWIT's Danyelle Ireland is named 2021 national Rising Star
The National Institute for the Study of Transfer Students has named Dr. Danyelle Tauryce Ireland, associate director of CWIT and research assistant professor of Engineering & Computing Education, a 2021 Transfer Champion Rising Star. The award honors her years of mentoring and advocating for UMBC transfer students in information technology and engineering fields.
“My professional background has been in K-12 education and some of my first experiences supporting students in higher education have been with the Transfer Scholars in IT and Engineering (T-SITE) program at UMBC,” says Ireland. “I identify as an educational scholar-practitioner, so to be recognized for my impact in service of students, and to have a former T-SITE Scholar contribute to the nomination process, was especially validating.”
