A mind is a terrible thing to waste, yet back in the mid-’70’s, I, personally, witnessed, the waste of countless of brilliant minds at UMCP. This was before CMSE and BES were formulated. We decided that we needed to do something to stop the wasteful trend, so we founded CMSE and BES to help to achieve the 3R’s, recruit, retain and release qualified minorities from the University of Maryland, into the fields of science and engineering. Over the past 40 years, I have witnessed many academic and career success stories of minority graduates from UMCP, and I am committed to helping this trend continue. I believe that the achievement of the 3 R’s remains an important goal at UMCP, the CMSE, and the BES and I am looking for others who share my vision.
Sean Jones-Quaidoo, M.D.
To this day I still lean on my engineering background. I tell people all the time I learned how to critically think and problem solve by studying to be an engineer. I have been blessed to leverage this throughout my career as a spine surgeon. Remember to always dream big and aim for the stars even if you fall short, you're still in the heavens!
Brian Hayes, Ph.D.
Perseverance, grit, and determination will serve you well in your future. My success is the product of CMSE’s investment in me. Make sure you multiply their investment in others behind you.
