<Title>Inaugural COE&amp;IT Celebration, May 6, 2018.</Title>
<Tagline>A word from the Dean!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div><strong>Greetings COEIT Faculty and Staff,<br></strong></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>I want to thank you for all who participated and supported our inaugural COEIT Celebration. If you were not able to attend I hope you will enjoy reading about some of our events for the day.  <strong>Sunday, May 6 was a day to Celebrate the College of Engineering and Information Technology.</strong>  From faculty and staff awards to student honors and recognition we have a lot to celebrate.  It was also a time for student organizations, capstone students, departments and programs to let us all know more about their activities.  Not only did we get to celebrate, we also had some great food and other fun activities.  We are happy to say that we had 634 RSVPs for our event, this includes 180 graduation candidates, 255 guests, other students 123, faculty, staff and capstone guests 76. </div>
    <div>
    <br>Another first for us was the announcement of College-level faculty and staff awards:<br>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>COEIT Faculty Awards</strong></div>
    <div>2018 Early career Faculty Excellence Award - Dr. Christopher Hennigan, Department of Chemical Biochemical and Environmental Engineering<br>2018 Mid-Career Faculty Excellence Award - Dr. Gunes Koru, Department of Information Systems<br>2018 Excellence in Teaching Award - Dr. E.F. Charles LaBerge, Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering<br><br>
    </div>
    <div><strong>COEIT Staff Awards for Superior Service </strong></div>
    <div>Ms. Cindy Lamothe, Ms. Gina Fischer and Mr. Victor Fulda.  </div>
    <div>Victor also received the 2017-2018 Karen L. Wensch Endowment Award for Outstanding Non-Exempt Staff.<br>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Our college was also well represented in the Non-Exempt Employee of the Quarter, 2 quarters in a row.  <strong>Congratulations to Mr. Chuck Smithson, awarded in the 1st quarter, and to Ms. Kathy Suess, awarded in the 2nd quarter.</strong>  <br><br>
    </div>
    <div>This was also an opportunity to recognize our Undergraduate Teaching Fellows and Teaching Assistants as well as our faculty advisors and officers of student clubs and organizations. Many of the students in our scholars and affiliates programs were also in attendance and we were able to recognize these students.<br><br>
    </div>
    <div>On a sad note we will be saying goodbye to Dr. Marie desJardins and Dr. Penny Rheingans who will be leaving to pursue leadership opportunities at other institutions.  We are very grateful for their contributions to the Departments and to the UMBC community and they were recognized by the audience at the celebration.<br><br>
    </div>
    <div><em><strong>Best wishes as you finish up the semester!!</strong></em></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><strong>Keith Bowman</strong></div>

<Title>Remembering Dr. Cedric Herring</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <span>Dr. Cedric Herring, Professor and Director of the Language, Literacy, and Culture (LLC) doctoral program, passed away on April 22, 2018. All of us who knew him—his colleagues in LLC and across the university and his students—are deeply saddened by this loss for the UMBC community and for the multiple communities of scholars Dr. Herring inhabited.</span><br><br>Our deepest condolences are with Dr. Herring’s family, especially his wife and our colleague Dr. Loren Henderson, and his children. Dr. Herring was with us far too briefly, but his scholarship and his voice will continue to guide and motivate our unfinished work for many years to come.<br><br>Dr. Herring joined UMBC in 2014 as an established leader in the field of sociology. After earning his Ph.D. at the University of Michigan, he began his academic career at Texas A&amp;M University. In 1990 he joined the department of sociology at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and the Institute of Government and Public Affairs at the University of Illinois. He was founding director of UIC’s Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy and of the University of Illinois’s Race and Public Policy program. Over three decades, he published eight books, more than 70 articles and book chapters, and more than 15 monographs and policy reports, as well as numerous book reviews and editorial essays. He also was a principal investigator or scholar on grants totaling more than $2.2 million. He received many prestigious awards and fellowships from the Joyce Foundation, the National Science Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the MacArthur Foundation, among others.<br><br>Dr. Herring served as president of the Association of Black Sociologists in 1994-1995. At UMBC, he became director of the Language, Literacy, and Culture program in 2015, served on the faculty senate, and chaired the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences Black Faculty Committee. He and Dr. Henderson, assistant professor, Sociology, Anthropology, and Health Administration and Policy, also won a Hrabowski Innovation Fund award for “The Baltimore Metropolitan Area Study on Race, Inequality, and the City.” Students and colleagues in the LLC program knew him as a generous mentor who cared deeply about building community within the program and across the university, as he did in every setting.<br><br>Dr. Herring’s research has been essential to UMBC’s striving for inclusive excellence, especially in hiring a more diverse faculty and challenging institutional culture. His most recent book, <em>Diversity in Organizations: A Critical Examination</em> (2014, co-authored with Dr. Henderson) provides quantitative and qualitative evidence that a diverse workplace brings tangible benefits to organizations, including universities. In a series of related articles in scholarly journals, Dr. Herring and Dr. Henderson demonstrate that the same conclusions apply to university departments in diverse disciplines. Equally important, the research and related articles argue that “critical diversity” requires more than inclusive hiring practices and outcomes and that true change occurs only when organizations look within themselves to challenge the internal practices and norms that perpetuate inequality, oppression, and stratification.<br><br>Dr. Herring’s scholarship has been at the core of UMBC’s STRIDE program (Strategies and Tactics for Recruiting to Improve Diversity and Excellence). Dr. Herring was especially interested in the study of racial wealth disparities and in the application of interventions to alleviate the most pernicious effects of social stratification. He ardently championed thinking broadly, boldly, and systematically about removing the racial and cultural blinders that undermine human progress.<br><div><br></div>
