<Title>The Passing of LaMont Toliver</Title>

    <p><em>To:       The UMBC Community</em><br>
    <em> From:   Freeman Hrabowski, President</em><br>
    <em> Diane Lee, Dean of Undergraduate Education</em></p>
    <p>With great sadness, we must let you know that LaMont Toliver, Director of the Meyerhoff Scholars Program and Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Education, passed away late this morning after suffering a heart attack on campus.</p>
    <p>This is a tragic loss for LaMont’s immediate family – his wife, Lisa, and his four sons, Jacquet, Tristan, Julian, and Jordan, and a granddaughter, Kamry Toliver.  (Both Julian and Jordan are students here on campus.)</p>
    <p>LaMont’s passing is a tragic loss as well for the Meyerhoff Scholars Program family and the entire University community.  LaMont graced us with his considerable abilities for the past 22 years – his leadership and deep compassion, and his wisdom, wit, and determination.  His example will continue to inspire us, and the strong community of scholars he loved will comfort us in the days ahead.</p>
    <p>As soon as we receive information from the Toliver family regarding funeral arrangements, we will let the campus community know.  In the meantime, please keep LaMont and members of his family in your thoughts and prayers.</p>

    <span>A: </span><span><span>This is my 5th semester at UMBC after transferring from HCC.</span></span>
    </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><span><br>

    </span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>
    <span>A: </span><span><span>I'm the SGA Executive Assistant of Office Affairs. I also have the unofficial title of SGA Baker.</span></span>
    </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><span><br>

    </span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>
    <div>
    <span>A: </span><span><span>I help SGA members work together and boost their morale with food.</span></span>
    </div>

    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><span><br>
    </span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>
    <span>A: <span> </span></span><span><span>I just enjoy being involved. Since my official position affords me more free time than others do, I get to jump into whatever projects I'm interested in. So whether it's helping out with something like Prove It! or working with our awesome (seb) friends for an event they're having, I get to work with a ton of amazing people all around campus. There's always something going on that I'd love to give my time to.</span></span>

    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><span><br>
    </span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>
    <span>A: <span> </span></span><span><span>I've learned it's important to take a step back sometimes and gauge how important something really is. It's really easy to get caught up in a single exam or single assignment and stress out over it, but at the end of the day no one thing will make or break you. So when I start getting stressed out over anything, I've learned it's important to step away, get together with some friends and get away from whatever's stressing me out. Even if one assignment or exam doesn't go my way, I know that at the end of the day I won't be too burnt out or stressed to keep moving on. Stepping away can even help me get a fresh perspective on whatever I was doing and improve it. As important as academics are, morale and mental health are important too.</span></span>

    <span><span>A: </span></span><span><span>A tradition a few friends and I have is wearing eye-black for finals week. It's the most stressful time of the semester, so we like to add a little humor to the week. When people see you walking down academic row with eye-black on, they can't help but do a double-take. Something about it also puts you in the right mind state to go into your final and dominate it.</span></span>

    <em> From:   Freeman Hrabowski, President</em><br>
    <em> Diane Lee, Dean of Undergraduate Education</em></p>
    <p>With great sadness, we must let you know that LaMont Toliver, Director of the Meyerhoff Scholars Program and Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Education, passed away late this morning after suffering a heart attack on campus.</p>
    <p>This is a tragic loss for LaMont’s immediate family – his wife, Lisa, and his four sons, Jacquet, Tristan, Julian, and Jordan, and a granddaughter, Kamry Toliver.  (Both Julian and Jordan are students here on campus.)</p>
    <p>LaMont’s passing is a tragic loss as well for the Meyerhoff Scholars Program family and the entire University community.  LaMont graced us with his considerable abilities for the past 22 years – his leadership and deep compassion, and his wisdom, wit, and determination.  His example will continue to inspire us, and the strong community of scholars he loved will comfort us in the days ahead.</p>
    <p>As soon as we receive information from the Toliver family regarding funeral arrangements, we will let the campus community know.  In the meantime, please keep LaMont and members of his family in your thoughts and prayers.</p>
