PROMISE is an Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) program that is a coalition of three campuses: UMBC (Lead Institution), the University of Maryland, College Park, and the University of Maryland, Baltimore. A grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) provides support services from the SREB-State Doctoral Scholars Program to minority graduate students in the NSF AGEP program. The grant supports an initiative between the AGEP program and the SREB-State Doctoral Scholars Program (a partnership that includes SREB states, other regional educational organizations, and federal and foundation programs that stress strengthening minority graduate education). The grant also strives toward two broad goals for AGEP scholars: 1) increase the likelihood of completing a Ph.D. in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics, and 2) encourage and prepare scholars for a career as a successful college faculty member. By joining forces with SREB/Compact, AGEP alliances encourage their minority graduate students nationwide to earn doctoral degrees. More information about the Institute and various organizations can be found at the following links:

LLC Ph.D. Karsonya “Kaye” Whitehead Profile at Loyola University

Communication Professor Balances Teaching, Research, Professional Development, Community Service, and More

As newly minted Ph.D. Karsonya “Kaye” Whitehead considered where to continue her academic career, she was drawn to Loyola University Maryland and its Ignatian character—even though she had never experienced Jesuit education before. Whitehead, who holds a bachelor’s degree in history from Pennsylvania’s Lincoln University—the nation’s oldest historically black college—an M.A. in International Peace Studies from the University of Notre Dame, and a Ph.D. in Language, Literature, and Culture from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, knew just enough about the life of St. Ignatius to know she wanted to know much more.
