Higher Education is fundamental to the new ideas that fuel our creative economy. This year, for the third straight year, we were able to hold the line on rising college costs for our working families by freezing tuition for in-state undergraduates at the University of Maryland System institutions. In addition, working with the General Assembly, we’ve provided $15.5 million to address workforce shortage areas and research needs, $3 million for Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) related workforce programs, $8.8 million to expand the number of nursing graduates and $1.7 million for Regional Higher Education Centers. We were also able to invest $207 million in capital funding for public four-year institutions and increase community college funding by nine percent, or $21.2 million, while budgeting nearly $110 million in financial aid to help many in-state students receive funding to attain a first-rate education. By providing incentives for higher education, our State empowers not only our communities, but our economy. In this rapidly-changing, knowledge-based economy, we know that earning cannot be separated from learning. More than ever, we need eager, innovative students like you to drive the progress of tomorrow. No other State in the nation has the same concentration of skills, talents, great institutions, locations, benefits and competitive cost advantages that we have here in Maryland. As the home of one of the most highly skilled workforces, one of the top three public school systems in the nation, combined with a strong commitment to the expansion of opportunity for all Marylanders, our State offers a unique and inviting climate not only for earning an education, but for developing a career as well. As a State, we must rely on our institutions of higher learning to help us respond to the growing demand for highly skilled workers. Whether you begin at a two-or four-year postsecondary institution, Maryland is here to support you in any way possible as you continue this exciting and challenging journey in your life. I know this guide will help you with your choices toward that better tomorrow. I invite you to visit the Maryland Higher Education Commission’s Office of Student Financial Assistance at www.MDgo4it.org or call toll free at (800) 974-1024 for more information. Sincerely, Martin O’Malley Governor i. Martin O’Malley Governor Anthony G. Brown Lt. Governor Kevin M. O’Keefe Chairman James E. Lyons, Sr. Secretary of Higher Education Dear Student: I was raised to believe in the strength of the human spirit that soars in every one of us: “Those who aim beneath the stars aim too low.” I first read those words when I was a student about the age of many of you. The words are as vivid now as the day I read them, carved in the marble base of a monument. Maybe those words sang so loudly to me then because those stars seemed so far away, but I hope they sing in your ears, too, and you will remember to aim high. I congratulate you on having decided to pursue postsecondary education to aim for the stars in your future. The College 411 A Student Guide to Higher Education & Financial Aid in Maryland will help you explore and determine which school or program is right for you. If money is a concern, it will also help you identify financial aid available throughout the State of Maryland and how to apply for it if you are eligible. This year alone, we have nearly $110 million in financial aid to help pay college expenses for Maryland residents. This money is available for both full- and part-time students – and may possibly even help to pay off loans for graduates who will work in public service or in geographical areas where training is especially needed, especially in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). As you look for the postsecondary institution of your choice, I hope you will carefully consider Maryland’s outstanding two- and four-year colleges, universities, or private career schools. If you do, I feel confident you will make the decision to attend one. Maryland is fortunate to have 59 outstanding colleges and universities from which to choose. We also offer 175 accredited private career schools offering training in more than 65 trade and technical occupations. This guide provides an overview of Maryland postsecondary institutions and includes the cost of attending each one. The Maryland Higher Education Commission is here to provide you with valuable resources, such as powerful online planning tools and access to student aid that can help you achieve success in reaching your star. Check our website at www.MDgo4it.org and see for yourself! For many people, “opportunity” is just a word, and the chance at an education is for somebody else. But just as my education was fuel for my “Star Trek” so your education can be for you. It may not always be easy, but if you make a commitment to the learning journey you will soon be starting, those stars are in range. All good wishes, James E. Lyons, Sr. Secretary of Higher Education Maryland Higher Education Commission MARYLAND HIGHER EDUCATION COMMISSION 839 Bestgate Rd. • Suite 400 • Annapolis, MD 21401-3013 T 410.260.4500 • 800.974.0203 • F 410.260.3200 • MD Relay Service 800.735.2258 for the hard of hearing or deaf • www.MDgo4it.org ii. What’s Inside? Over a quarter of a million students go to college in Maryland. They study at community colleges, where they have the option to complete the first two years of college before going on to earn a bachelor’s degree at a four-year campus — or find excellent career training that leads directly to a good job. They study at one of the eleven campuses of the University System of Maryland, which includes the University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland’s flagship campus, and excellent regional universities serving every part of the State. They study at Morgan State University, Maryland’s urban university, and Saint Mary’s College of Maryland, designated as an honors college in Maryland. Or they are enrolled at one of more than a score of fine — and even world-famous — independent institutions, both large and small. Collectively, Maryland’s colleges and universities offer virtually every kind of educational experience, both for the traditional college student who goes directly to college from high school, and for students who have already begun their careers and want to increase their knowledge and skills or learn new skills. This guide will help you find the courses and the college you want, provide you with information on scholarships and other forms of financial aid, direct you to military programs that offer tuition assistance or scholarships, and help you find a private career school that will give you the job skills you need. iv. The Importance of Accreditation When selecting a college or university, and before committing any money to a postsecondary educational institution, it is important to determine whether the institution is “accredited.” It is even more important when considering a non-traditional form of instruction — such as distance learning. With an accredited institution, a student has some assurance of receiving a quality education and that other colleges and employers will recognize the course credits and degree earned. Accreditation is an affirmation that a college provides education at a level of quality that the general public has the right to expect and that the educational community recognizes. If a college or university is not accredited, its students will probably not be able to participate in either Federal or State of Maryland financial assistance programs. If you are uncertain about the accreditation status of a college or university, you should ask the institution for the address and phone number of their accrediting body. You can also address questions to [email protected]. For more information on accreditation, visit the website of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools at www.msche.org and the U.S. Department of Education at http://studentaid.ed.gov/PORTALSWebApp/students/english/consider.jsp#accredited v.

    THE ADVOCATE Newsletter of the Towson University Retired Faculty Association Spring/Summer 2020 President’s Message I write this from my home where I am keeping away from others—even the gym has closed!! Who knew what this year would bring when I wrote my letter in the fall—or even a month ago? The year certainly has been busy. Under TURFA sponsorship, we have toured the Amazon distribution center, brushed up on skills to use Towson’s online interface, and learned about “The Power of the Presidency and the Impeachment Inquiry,” a talk given by Professor Jack Fruchtman (Political Science). While we planned another talk for the spring semester, the closure of TU’s campus has put that on hold. Our website, which has been redesigned by President-Elect candidate Ron Matlon and is being maintained by Peg Benner, is a good source for information about TURFA news and about ongoing and future TURFA programs and events: https://www.towson.edu/retiredfaculty/. We have just received notification from the president of AROHE (the Association of Retirement Organizations in Higher Education) that they will include on their web site the survey that TURFA conducted several years ago, tabulating the post-retirement productivity and activities of TU faculty and librarians, as a resource for all member institutions to use. This year has brought updates to operating procedures and to relationships with the main TU community. TURFA has a voting membership on the Academic Senate, and we continue to work to have faculty emeriti included in the University Catalog. As we address issues of concern to retirees, we find holes in past practices (years when the Senate minutes did not list faculty emeriti, for example).

Summer is just around the corner, then starts a brand new semester! We hope everyone has a relaxing, safe summer break and returns fresh and ready in the fall for a new school year. We are very proud of our program and our students for all their accomplishments. The program has grown significantly in the last several years and we continue to work on maintaining quality in our curriculum to keep pace with the constant changes in the health care environment. As the program grows, so do the challenges of matching students to their internship sites. This process is very complex and requires significant pre-work from both the prospective interns and involved faculty. However, this would not be possible without the constant support from our preceptors in accepting our interns and the true dedication from our internship coordinator and faculty supervisors. In This I want to thank members of our advisory board in helping us enhance the quality of Newsletter: the program. I also thank our faculty members tenured, clinical, and adjunct who went above and beyond in and out-side of the classroom.
