    Media Advisory FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 30, 2014 Contact: Gay Pinder 410-704-4471 [email protected] President of SECU named lead judge for Towson’s Associate competition A full-time position with credit union to be given to winner of annual student program TOWSON, MD—For the tenth anniversary of its annual Associate competition, the Towson University College of Business and Economics is pleased to announce that Rod Staatz, president and CEO of SECU, will play the role of “The Donald”. The Associate, a TU spin-off of the NBC reality series “The Apprentice,” places eight promising business and accounting seniors in direct competition for the coveted grand prize—a guaranteed job upon graduation, this year with SECU. Week after week, the students are faced with challenges presented by regional companies, and tasked to work in teams to find and present resolutions. In addition to the scholarship prizes offered through the competition, the students also gain integral hands-on experience and invaluable business connections. “We are thrilled to have Mr. Staatz as the presenting executive for the Associate,” said Lisa Michocki, the program’s director. “Students will benefit greatly from interacting with Mr. Staatz and his team throughout the duration of the program and ultimately, one of them will acquire a full-time position post-graduation. This program continues to be a wonderful opportunity for our talented students.” As this year’s “Donald Trump,” Staatz will oversee the competition, serve as lead judge and each week announce who will progress—and who will be eliminated. Staatz has been president and CEO of Maryland’s largest credit union since 2003, and has more than 30 years of experience in financial services.

They are confined to a brief period of great excitement in Baltimore, viz, after the riot of April 19, 1861, when Federal troops were attacked by the mob while being marched through the City streets, up to May 13th of that year, when General Butler, with a large body of troops occupied Federal Hill, after which Baltimore was substantially under control of the 1 Some months before his death in 1942 the late Charles McHenry Howard (a grandson of Charles Howard, president of the Board of Police in 1861) placed the papers here printed in the Editor's hands for examination, and offered to write an introduction if the Committee on Publications found them acceptable for the Magazine.

PERMAN, MD, Message President Every 10 years, UMB has a cherished opportunity to imagine how our physical campus—our buildings, walkways, and open spaces—can advance our noblest goals: to improve the human condition and serve the public good. In this Facilities Master Plan, we imagine a campus that serves our students with better and more ample spaces for learning, discovery, and interaction; a campus that encourages collaboration between disciplines and schools and speeds the translation of discoveries from bench to bedside; a campus that binds us more closely to one another and to our neighbors and partners in Baltimore. On the north end of campus, we will transform outdated buildings and vacant lots in a way that creates cohesion while accommodating future development. We will continue to strengthen UMB’s identity within Baltimore by establishing clearer streetscape connections and reinforcing major gateways to campus. We will partner with city institutions and agencies to build a vibrant and safe Westside community—a place that’s rich in art, culture, and entertainment and in the creative people they attract. UMB is a beacon for people committed to improving human health and well-being. They deserve a campus that facilitates this work, as does everyone who relies on that work each day.
