P residents Message
Welcome to the 2020 Founders Week Gala,
A Night of Stars. As the University of Maryland,
Baltimore’s (UMB) newly appointed president,
it is my honor to be your host. While the
COVID-19 pandemic has caused us to
celebrate virtually, I hope you will all feel a
sense of community and the energy emanating
from this evening of stars.
This evening’s Gala, while in a different
format from years past, will allow us to
celebrate the University’s storied past and
exciting future. We honor the extraordinary
community of people who live UMB’s mission.
We recognize our enormous contributions
to the public good, locally and globally, and
pledge to work even harder to expand our
reach and amplify our impact. This year, especially, we feel that connection to fnding
solutions and ways forward to improve the public good.
Tonight, we will honor four faculty members who represent the best of us — in
teaching, research, public service, and entrepreneurship. We also will highlight six
Catalysts for Excellence: faculty, alumni, and philanthropists who believe in our work
and whose support enables and enlarges it. In addition, we will feature our Distinguished
Service Award recipients. Tonight’s program gives us an opportunity to not only
recognize some of UMB’s stars but also to celebrate together — and have fun.
The UMB community needs you: We cannot cure disease, or strengthen
communities, or drive discovery, or safeguard health, well-being, and justice for millions
of people every day without your support. Thank you for spending this night with us. I
hope you enjoy the program.

RESEARCHER OF THE YEAR
Jay S. Magaziner, PhD, MSHyg
School of Medicine
It was the 1970s, and the feld of aging was mostly an
unexplored area of study. Jay Magaziner was working in
childhood development when he was drawn to the then-
uncharted feld and its immense potential.
Decades later, he has become a pioneer, a mentor,
and one of the world’s pre-eminent researchers in hip
fracture recovery.
Magaziner, professor and chair of the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health,
has been driven by his desire to help people recover as he has studied the effects of hip
fracture in the aging population.
“We know that hip fracture, stroke, and sudden fall injury reduce people’s ability to
walk. They also may get confused, feel depressed, and have fewer contacts with friends.
These are all functional limitations that get in the way of carrying out their everyday lives,”
he says.
“And what I’ve been interested in is, what happens in each of these functional areas and
what can we do to actually help people to recover from them? What are the key things we
can do to ensure that they get back to as close to their prior functional level as possible?”
Magaziner’s research focuses on examining changes in function, bone, and muscle after
hip fracture and the effects of new rehabilitation programs on outcomes such as the ability
to walk.
Magaziner’s colleagues at the University of Maryland, Baltimore’s schools talk about his
compassion, his collaboration, his mentorship, and his legacy.
“His accomplishments in research — through peer-reviewed manuscripts, funded
grants, and training opportunities — are a legacy, not only for scholars and clinicians
who endeavor in the geriatric arena, but for older persons as well,” says Linda Simoni-
Wastila, PhD, the Parke-Davis Chair in Geriatric Pharmacotherapy in the Department
of Pharmaceutical Health Services Research at the School of Pharmacy. “His work makes
a fundamental difference in the way in which researchers approach their studies, the way
clinicians treat their patients, and the way in which older persons approach their health and
lives.”
Magaziner attributes his success to his colleagues and students, and their openness to
collaborate freely.
“There are colleagues all over the University and elsewhere in the country who are doing
work in this area. My success is based on their success,” he says.
4 UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, BALTIMORE
PUBLIC SERVANT OF THE YEAR
Maureen A. Sweeney, JD
Francis King Carey School of Law
Working tirelessly on behalf of people facing asylum
or immigration crises, Maureen Sweeney has inspired
students, colleagues, and clients during her 16-year tenure
at the Francis King Carey School of Law. To Sweeney,
though, the inspiration goes both ways.
“I love the work of asylum and immigration law
and have stuck with it because I’m continually inspired by my clients, who are resilient,
hardworking, loving, and remarkably generous people,” said Sweeney, professor and
director of the school’s Immigration Law Clinic. “As a teacher, I am equally inspired by
the energy and enthusiasm for justice that I see in our students.”
Sweeney teaches her students to combine legal theory with practice and gives them
opportunities to help poor or marginalized members of the community who lack access
to justice. She represents clients facing a range of legal issues that place their ability to
remain in the United States in peril. She works on broader issues impacting immigrant
communities and is an active member of several organizations that assist immigrants.
And she strives to educate the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) community and
the public at-large about these issues.
Sweeney’s selection as Public Servant of the Year is well-deserved, says UM Carey
School of Law Dean Donald B. Tobin, JD, who points out that the professor advances
UMB’s mission to improve the human condition and serve the public good.
“Professor Sweeney’s work goes to the core of human rights and human dignity,”
Tobin said. “She is dedicated to the most vulnerable members of our society. People
who lack citizenship also often lack access to legal services, courts, education, and due
process. They fnd themselves in a system they don’t understand without the resources to
adjudicate their rights. The work of Professor Sweeney and her students seeks to address
these problems.”
Sweeney says she was surprised and honored to be singled out at a university that
includes so many people doing public service in a variety of felds.
“I’m delighted to see that the work of standing up for the kind of country we want to
be and defending our immigrant family members, friends, and neighbors continues to be
valued and celebrated across UMB,” Sweeney said.

DAVID J. RAMSAY ENTREPRENEUR
OF THE YEAR
Joseph R. Scalea, MD ’07
School of Medicine
If you talk to Joseph Scalea for 20 minutes about his
life’s work, you’ll see why his colleagues in medicine
and business rave about his can-do attitude and high
energy. You’ll also understand why he’s the University of
Maryland, Baltimore’s (UMB) 2020 David J. Ramsay
Entrepreneur of the Year.
“I’m ecstatic, surprised, and energized about this award,” said Scalea, associate
professor in the School of Medicine’s (SOM) Department of Surgery and a multi-organ
transplant specialist. “I have a lot of energy, but events like this keep me going. They
remind me that the work we’re doing is important, that there are lives to be saved.”
Scalea is executing his mission to save lives through research, education, clinical
activity, and innovation, which all contribute to his game-changing entrepreneurial
pursuits. In only four years as a faculty member at SOM, he has built the largest
combined kidney-pancreas program in the United States, generated highly disruptive
ideas, and co-founded three startups, including MediGO and MissionGO. The
Baltimore-based companies are designed to improve the logistics of the human organ
transplant supply chain and provide innovative applications for unmanned aircraft.
These efforts brought national acclaim to SOM and the University of Maryland
Medical Center in 2019, when Scalea and his colleagues performed the frst transplant of
a human organ transported by drone. He was the project leader and one of the surgeons
who performed the successful kidney transplant.
The drone traveled 3 miles in about 10 minutes. Scalea described the fight as “one
small hop for a drone, one major leap for medicine” as well as “a pioneering breakthrough
in transplantation.”
Collaboration was critical to the drone fight, delivery, and transplant, which included
more than 100 contributors and a partnership among the University of Maryland Medical
System, the University of Maryland, College Park’s A. James Clark School of Engineering,
the University of Maryland Unmanned Aircraft Systems Test Site, the nonproft Living
Legacy Foundation, and others.
“One of my proudest moments was seeing that drone land on the roof of Shock
Trauma, not only because it was a technological and a scientifc achievement, but
because it represented the efforts of more than 100 people,” Scalea said. “The amount
of collaboration that came together through the University of Maryland system was
remarkable.”
6 UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, BALTIMORE
EDUCATOR OF THE YEAR
Russell A. McClain, JD ’95
Francis King Carey School of Law
When Russell McClain started law school, he saw himself
as an unremarkable student. That all changed as his
professors sparked an “intellectual awakening” in him
that led him to where he is now.
A professor at his alma mater, McClain says his
purpose is to inspire his own students in the same way.
“The most important thing I can communicate to them is that they are capable. My
overriding professional mission is to help students have the breakthrough I had as a law
student — to see that they are capable of more than they can imagine,” he says.
McClain, who also is associate dean for diversity and inclusion and director of the
Academic Achievement Program, is known as one of the best professors in the Francis
King Carey School of Law, according to Dean Donald B. Tobin, JD.
“Professor McClain’s passion for teaching and education manifest in his classroom
performance, his scholarship and research interests, and his administrative leadership,”
Tobin said. “He is as devoted and accomplished an educator as I have seen.”
Students in courses such as Bar Exam Preparation, Contracts, and Commercial Law
praise McClain’s communication with them and his willingness to discuss and analyze
issues with different sides and perspectives.
“Professor McClain is celebrated by students for the genuine rapport he forges with
them and his evident investment in their comprehension and success,” says Michael
Pappas, JD, professor and associate dean for research and faculty development at the law
school. “They praise, as well, his use of humor, his wide-ranging intellectual repertoire,
and his ability to engage all members of a class.”
McClain is passionate about increasing diversity in the law profession. As associate
dean for diversity and inclusion, he helps develop and implement an inclusion and
equity strategy by participating in training, student recruiting, organizing diversity
programming, supporting marginalized students, and managing crises.
“My colleagues and I all need to be aware of the fact that our students, especially our
new students, are looking for guidance from us in these challenging times,” McClain says.
“We are surrounded by overwhelming proof that racial and social injustice persists, and
our students are looking to us to see how law and lawyers can make a difference.
“Our educational mission is as important as ever.”

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND BALTIMORE FOUNDATION, INC.
2020 DISTINGUISHED SERVICE
Award Recipients
This annual award recognizes the outstanding achievements of volunteers — or a
team of volunteers — who have substantially contributed to enhancing and sustaining
the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB).
MARCO AND DEBBIE CHACÓN
Marco and Debbie Chacón
have been valued members of
the UMB community for many
years, generously supporting
entrepreneurial, philanthropic,
and educational initiatives.
In 2009, they moved
the company they founded,
Paragon, to the University
of Maryland BioPark, and it
quickly grew to become the
largest company there, employing hundreds and collaborating extensively with UMB. In
2014, Marco Chacón joined the UMB Foundation as a trustee and has been a consistent
source of advice and counsel as well as an advocate, leader, and trusted mentor
regarding the strategic direction of the Graduate School.
Most recently, the Chacóns founded the Alicia and Yaya Foundation, which has
been a generous benefactor of UMB as it supports science, education, children, and the
less fortunate. In 2019, the foundation established the Alicia and Yaya Global Fellowship
Program to enhance global learning experiences, support innovation in global health,
and foster relations between UMB and institutions in Costa Rica.
The Alicia and Yaya Foundation has always prioritized supporting those when they
need it most. At the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, it supported the Graduate School
Student Emergency Fund to help students alleviate unexpected fnancial difculties
brought on by the crisis. The foundation also provided support to sustain operations
and complete the fnal phase of construction of UMB’s new Community Engagement
Center. Finally, it pledged support to a new cohort of UMB CURE Scholars as they
receive innovative STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) programming and
academic support from sixth grade to high school graduation and beyond.
The UMB Foundation honors the Chacóns with the 2020 Distinguished Service
Award in recognition of their dedication to UMB, our students, our community, and
innovations in global health and education.
8 UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, BALTIMORETHE POWER OF PHILANTHROPY
The word philanthropy comes from the Greek words “philos” meaning “love,” and “anthropos”
meaning “humankind” or “the love of humankind.” Philanthropy is the pure act of being
generous by putting others above oneself. This generosity is magnifed in diferent forms
through the gifts of time, treasure, and talent.
History is replete with treasured philanthropic acts: fnancial investment that drives change,
creates greater access for all, helps the less fortunate, and lifts our shared world. Volunteerism
also is a great philanthropic act by providing time and talent to improve local communities and
give hope and reafrmation to others. When it comes to philanthropy, there is no threshold for
an amount given or time committed. Rather, it is in the total sum of these acts that brings out
the best of humankind and makes for a better day and better civilization.
At the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB), we bear witness daily to the profound
impact philanthropy is having at our six professional schools and interdisciplinary Graduate
School. Community engagement is woven into the fabric of UMB and its partnerships, in
West Baltimore and throughout our region and state. Each school is doing remarkable work
worthy of these acts of time, treasure, and talent — from top-tier scholarship, research, clinical
care, and entrepreneurship, to forward-thinking social justice, service, and other signifcant
provisions.
Supplementing the state of Maryland’s generous but limited assistance, philanthropic
investment from private and corporate sources provides an enormous measure of substance
and elasticity — especially in these troubled times. Philanthropy is highly accessible and cost-
efective, with a return on investment that traditionally is higher than 80 percent. To all of the
individuals, businesses, foundations, and organizations that gave their time, treasure, and talent
this past year, UMB extends its heartfelt gratitude. You propel us to continue living out UMB’s
mission to improve the human condition and serve the public good.
Recent examples of signifcant charitable investment at UMB:
} A $700,000 estate gift from Joan Meredith, raise more than $50,000 to endow a new
