Ramona Bultman-Lewis, avisual artist who “explores theconnection between technologyand art,” will display photographyfrom two distinctly different series of works at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore’s MoselyGallery.

Bultman-Lewis opened the show “Thick as Thieves” and “Words of Wisdom” at a receptionOct. 20, from 4-6 p.m. at the gallery.

“My message is always evolving, and my goal is always to challenge the viewer’s personalconvictions of cultural stereotypes,” Bultman-Lewis said.

“Thick as Thieves” integrates traditional photography with digitally enhanced techniques.Highly personal, the works are based on photographs of Bultman-Lewis’ father’s family taken inpre-WWII Sumter, S.C. They document “a family caught between the lines of race, bound bysociety’s expectations and laws.”

“I realized after starting this body of work, that I have unearthed something quite powerful andgrand,” she said. “Hauntingly familiar, yet so foreign,” they are an introduction to the family and itsjourney.

“Words of Wisdom” represents the talented artist’s work created from images taken in 2003 inGhana, West Africa. The images pay homage to the Akan culture in Ghana and illustrate how thosecultural values are reflected in daily life.

“By integrating Ghanaian proverbs and Adinkra symbols with documentary photography, Iendeavor to give credence to their usage as ‘words’ of wisdom,” Bultman-Lewis said. She explains,in Ghana, proverbs are commonly used to express a practical truth about humanity. “It is my intentto honor this humanity and wisdom, and bring voice to people seldom heard.”

Bultman-Lewis has had a career rich in experiences. She began taking photographs when shewas a child, experimenting with her father’s collection of antique cameras. After completing adouble-major in fine arts and computer science at the University of North Carolina, she started toincorporate the computer as a “tool for creating art.”

Bultman-Lewis received a master’s in architectural design from North Carolina State University

A new round of federalfunding will enable theUniversity of MarylandEastern Shore to continue asignature science programthat trains minorities in the

field of marine and fisheriessciences.

The National Oceanic and AtmosphericAdministration recently awarded UMES and itspartners approximately $15 million to support theLiving Marine Resources Cooperative ScienceCenter through 2016. The center was founded in2001.

Under the direction of UMES professorPaulinus Chigbu, the university is aligned with sixpartner institutions that also offer studentsopportunities to participate in hands-on fieldresearch.

The consortium of colleges and universitieshas produced 322 graduates since its inception in2001 including: 246 bachelor’s degrees, 66master’s degrees and 10 doctoral degrees. Thecenter currently supports 139 students, of which22 are PhDs.

An expansion of graduate-level distanceeducation offerings and the addition of OregonState University as a new partner are expected tomake marine and fisheries science more appealingto a wider audience, Chigbu said.

“Research is an important part of the trainingwe offer,” said Chigbu, who became the center’sdirector in 2006 just before it received a second,five-year grant from NOAA.

When the center successfully competed in2001 for NOAA’s Educational Partnership Programwith Minority Serving Institutions, Delaware State,Hampton and Savannah State universities, theUniversity of Miami and the University of MarylandBiotechnology Institute Center of MarineBiotechnology, signed on as UMES’ partners.

The Division ofInstitutionalAdvancement heldits annualPresident’s DonorReception Oct. 13to expressappreciation toloyal supporterswho helped theuniversity reach –and exceed – its“Campaign forExcellence” goal.

Division vice president Gains Hawkins told those who attended thefestivities in the Student Services Center ballroom that the campaign tallywas $15 million when it ended June 30, topping a goal of $14 million set in2002.

Many of the donations collected over the past seven years underwritescholarships for deserving students, including three undergraduates in theHonors Program, who addressed the 2011 gathering.

Michael Tadessé and Lauren Ritter, both juniors, and senior YvonnePuplampu-Dove offered heartfelt testimonials and expressed gratitude forthe scholarships they’ve received.

A musical African-Americanholiday tradition, “BlackNativity” by Langston Hughes, istaking shape in rehearsals at theUniversity of Maryland EasternShore.

The university’s dramasociety will perform the “gospelsong play,” as Hughes describedit, Nov. 3-5, at 7 p.m. in the EllaFitzgerald Center for thePerforming Arts.

This is the first time in its35-year existence that the societyhas performed a Christmas play.

“The cast relays the birth ofChrist according to the Gospel ofSt. Luke through song, danceand poetry,” said Dr. DellaDameron-Johnson, director ofthe drama society. TraditionalChristmas carols are sung

“gospel-style” along with contemporary songs and some written by Hughesfor the original play, she said.

“It’s different from anything we’ve done before,” said Janae Wonsley, ajunior English major and drama society member from Brooklyn, N.Y.“There’s a lot of old-school gospel.” Wonsley, who has several solos in theproduction (“Joy to the World,” For Every Mountain,” and “Packing Up”),

“Receiving a scholarship was a surprise to me,” she said, adding, “italso brought joy to my parents.”

said she likes thechurch scene inAct II, becausethat is wheremost of thecontemporarysongs are sung.“I get to wear asuit and a bigchurch hat,” shesaid. “It’s moreme.”

Dameron-Johnson predictsthe audience willenjoy “the comicrelief in Act I,when Mary and Joseph encounter a group of shepherds watching over theirflock by night.”

UMES’ Gospel Choir will lend its talent to the production. As is theplay’s tradition, local political figures or pastors are being sought to playthe non-singing parts of the three wise men.

“Black Nativity” was first performed on Broadway Dec. 11, 1961, oneof the first plays written by an African-American to be performed there. Theplay is celebrating its 50th anniversary.

you,’” he said. His first lesson: stay in school and get an

education. As his favorite poem by Robert Frostimplies, work hard and don’t’ be afraid to take“The Road Not Taken.” He tells students thatgetting a good education can make a “supreme”difference in their lives.

“My parents never completed high school, butthankfully, they had a thirst for us (he and his siblings) tobe educated,” he said. Students today, he says, arecompeting in such a diverse world they can’t be competitiveand “face the demands of tomorrow” without highereducation.

The next lesson: treat others as you would have themtreat you. Johnson says he imparts the Golden Rule.“Students aren’t as disciplined and respectful as they were(earlier in his career),” he said. “I believe there is a directrelationship between success and values.”

Johnson remembers a time early in his career when hefelt the impact of the profession. He had a student at

Salisbury High who didn’t have a father at home and was close to expulsionfor coming to school late every day. Johnson took it upon himself to pull thestudent aside and have a stern talk with him. He started coming in on time,graduated from high school and became an engineer.

“My showing him that I cared and was committed to teaching made adifference,” Johnson said. “That, to me, is what I’m about.”

Dr. David Johnson Jr., has devoted 50 years toeducation; 30 of them to students in theDepartment of English at UMES.

“As long as I have the desire, commitment andzest for teaching, as I do now, I will continue (toteach),” said Johnson. “I might be like (veteranactress) Betty White and work well into my ninetiesas long as I’m in pretty good health.”

Johnson has seen a lot of changes. His career hasspanned the eras of segregation, desegregation andglobalization.

He started his career as a teacher of English, dramaand speech at a segregated school for African-Americans—elementary through high school grades—in Burgaw, N.C.

Johnson moved to the Eastern Shore in 1963 to teachat Salisbury High School before it was closed to complywith federal desegregation laws. He spent 38 years inWicomico County public schools before retiring in 2001.Three of those years, he served as vice principal ofWicomico Senior High and three as the second principal ofParkside High School.

UMES has been graced with Johnson’s expertise for the past 30 years;first as an adjunct and more recently as a full-time assistant professor.

Apart from covering the textbook material, Johnson sees teaching asan opportunity to communicate and guide young people today. “I tell them,‘At my age, 72, I know something about life and I’d like to share it with

In the corporate world, Bultman-Lewishas been a creative director of interactivemarketing, an architect, visual designer,illustrator and web designer. Currently, sheis a program manager in user experiencedesign with a focus on social media.

She has traveled to Africa, China,Japan, Europe and South America.

“The camera has been my constantcompanion throughout all life events,documenting and challenging me in mypursuit of visual expression,” Bultman-Lewis said.

She spent the past two summers working as a research intern, including a stint at the University ofMaryland Baltimore County tracking the migration of genes in the ovaries of fruit flies.

“It was very interesting,” Puplampu-Dove, 21, said. “I learned a lot.” Tadessé, who was born in Ethiopia, said he had lots of college offers as a high school senior in Silver

Spring, Md., but chose UMES because “I just had a feeling that I could come here and be someone.”Tadessé has a 3.5 GPA and is studying finance and marketing. He described the scholarship he

received as “a life-changing award.”“I would like to acknowledge the donors for their generosity and for their contribution,” he said at the

reception. “Without your support, I would not be standing here … giving my gratitude.”“Your continued support of the university,” he said, “is enormous in helping to provide a quality

education in this fostering place and making us an elite HBCU.”Tadessé, 21, said some day he hopes to establish a non-profit organization to help the less-fortunate,

especially children living in poverty.Ritter, who is from Chincoteague, Va., is a transfer student from Eastern Shore Community College

majoring in applied design with a specialization in photography.Just 18, Ritter is already a junior (with a 4.0 GPA), who wants to pursue a career in commercial

photography. She currently owns four cameras and hopes to acquire a Hasselblad, “the Mercedes Benz” ofstill photography, to achieve that goal.

She picked UMES because of its reputation in arts education and for its diversity. Her scholarship,Ritter told the audience, enabled her to remain in school.

“Your generosity has given me a new hope,” she said, in reaching “the honor of being a graduate.”“I hope I will be able to help students achieve their goals just as you’ve helped me,” Ritter said.The donors also heard testimonials from two graduates, who had surrogates read statements about

how scholarships helped them through school and find success after leaving UMES.Suzanne Waters Street, UMES’ agriculture communication specialist, said her son, Seth, is finishing

work on a doctoral degree at the Palmer College of Chiropractic in Florida. Veronique Diriker, UMES’director of development, presented words of gratitude relayed by Nicholas Washington, a 2010 businesshonors graduate now working for a Wall Street consulting firm.

When the “Extreme Makeover” bus pulled away revealing a brand newhome to the Johnson-Goslee family in Mardela Springs, it wasn’t without a littlehelp from some students at UMES.

On Sept. 30 at 2 a.m., a group of students from the ConstructionManagement Technology Program worked for six hours digging and preparingthe ground for the foundation of the home.

“I commend the students for taking it upon themselves to find the time andmeans to go to the construction site,” said Dr. Joseph Arumala, professor oftechnology.

When UMES students attended a pre-build pep rally held at SalisburyUniversity along with Arumala and Dr. Carlos Salgado, they were eager to help.

UMES School of Pharmacy and Health Services student organizations tookpart in screenings and a juvenile diabetes project Oct. 11 at GreenwoodElementary School.
