Description
An account of the resource
Frames of Reference: Photographic Paths was the first exhibition held in the newly established Fine Arts Gallery in 1989. The exhibit featured the work of nationally-known artists Zeke Berman, George Blakely, Eileen Cowin, John Craig, Robert Cumming, Darryl Curran, Fred Endsley, William Larson, Bart Parker, Victor Schrager, and the Starn Twins, and was curated by Fine Arts Gallery Director David Yager. Running from October 11-November 16, the exhibit explored the question of how photography affects our cultural sensitivity.
The Fine Arts Gallery was later renamed, and in 2003 the Center for Art Design and Visual Culture began operation. Under the direction of Symmes Gardner, the CADVC has continued a tradition of public outreach and programming, along with curation of original exhibitions and publications focused on contemporary visual culture.

An account of the resource
The predecessor of the Honors College was established in 1980, with options for both a general Honors Program and individual departmental honors programs. Students enrolled in the Honors Program were able to select from courses that boasted smaller classes, more and livelier discussion, and more opportunity for independent study projects.” Students were also members of the Honors Student Association, which held lectures, volunteer opportunities, and social events on campus throughout the semester. An Honors Lounge, for Honors students only, was opened in Fine Arts Room 529 in 1981. Departmental honors programs, which are still in place at UMBC today, are tailored to each department’s requirements and encourage original research by the undergraduate students; students that complete this program graduate with Departmental Honors.
The success of the Honors Program and departmental honors eventually led to an expanded program, and a proposal to create an Honors College was submitted by Provost Adam Yarmolinsky in March 1988. The Honors College and Lounge are now located on the second floor of the Library.

In 1998, UMBC was among only seven colleges and universities in the United states to be offered Phi Beta Kappa chartership (selected from 47 that applied). The installation of the Eta Chapter of Maryland of the Phi Beta Kappa Society took place on March 16, 1998 in the University Center Ballroom. Honorary memberships were given to Jo Ann E. Argersinger, Provost of UMBC; Robert P. Burchard, Professor of Biological Sciences; Daphne D. Harrison; Director of the Center for the Humanities; Freeman A. Hrabowski, III, President of UMBC; Albin O. Kuhn; the first chancellor of UMBC; Jane B. Meyerhoff and Robert E. Meyerhoff, philanthropists; Angela Moorjani; chair of Modern Languages and Linguistics; and Richard F. Neville, former Dean of Arts and Sciences at UMBC. Dr. Jay M.

Meyerhoff Scholarship Program Graduating Class of 1994

Description
An account of the resource
The creation of the Meyerhoff Scholars Program was made possible at UMBC in 1988 through a grant from the Robert and Jane Meyerhoff Foundation. The nationally-renowned program funded students pursuing doctoral studies in the sciences and engineering with an interest in the advancement of minorities in related fields. Emphasizing mentoring, scholars were encouraged to cooperate and collaborate with their peers and the Meyerhoff staff. Scholars also completed research early on during their time at the university. Since the implementation of the program, U.S. News & World Report has highlighted the Meyerhoff Scholars Program as a successful model for supporting black students in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) and increasing minority employment and education in these fields. According to data from the Association of American Medical Colleges, UMBC is the top university in graduating African American scholars who go on to enroll in MD/PhD programs.
Meyerhoff Scholars advance through the program together as part of a closely knit cohort. The graduating class of 1994 was the second cohort to graduate, known as Cohort M2, and included sixteen students representing Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Information Systems, Interdisciplinary Studies, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, and Psychology. Graduates were accepted into Carnegie Mellon, MIT, Duke, Northwestern, and Yale among other top graduate and medical schools.

Description
An account of the resource
Initially UMBC was a branch campus of College Park, and the curriculum mimicked what was available at the flagship campus. By fall 1967 UMBC’s own academic identity had begun to emerge. A divisional structure was established instead of colleges, including the four Divisions of Humanities, Mathematics, Science, and Social Sciences. Students could readily take courses in the various departments within a division, often crossing disciplinary boundaries. With this interdisciplinary structure already in place, the Faculty Senate approved the implementation of Option I and Option II in April 1969. Option I, the traditional approach to higher education, offered some flexibility in the courses of study and classes required for the B.A. degree; Option II offered almost complete flexibility in designing a course of study, with approval by an appointed faculty committee. Option II was quite experimental both nationally and within the University of Maryland. Renamed in 1979, the department of Interdisciplinary Studies is still a valued alternative for UMBC undergraduates.

Description
An account of the resource
In 1994, UMBC was awarded a teaching grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI). The funding was directed towards the HHMI Scholars Program, an educational program that works with students from diverse backgrounds. Dr. Michael Summers was named an HHMI investigator in 1994, and his groundbreaking research at UMBC has focused on HIV-1, the retrovirus that causes AIDS, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, a technique for learning more about the molecular components of the HIV-1 retrovirus. Dr. Summers has also been an active teacher and supporter of the Meyerhoff Scholars Program, including working to assist other universities to duplicate the success of the program at UMBC. In 2003, he spoke with pride for the work at UMBC: While I'm very proud of our research, it may be that in the end what I do with minority students is more important than what I do in the lab. I never thought I would be involved in a social movement like this."
