Coppin State University

Coppin State University

Dear Coppin Campus Community:

Today is University Day, where Coppin faculty and staff come together to chart our path forward for a new academic year. This year’s theme: Eagle Nation Rising. University Day is a day where we prepare for flight. We are focused on developing our strategic plan and supporting programs and initiatives that will reinforce our strategic priorities to:

  • become a university of choice
  • improve the holistic development and completion rates of our students
  • strengthen our brand and reputation as a leader in urban higher education
  • become a great university at which to work; and
  • enhance our teaching and research excellence.
We are committed to providing our students with a high-quality education and transformational experiences that will help shape their futures and positively impact communities in Baltimore, across Maryland, and globally.  We continually deliver on this commitment with our 61 academic programs, including 33 bachelor’s programs, 13 master’s programs, 14 certificate programs, and Doctor in Nursing Practice. We are building on a strong foundation and 122 year legacy of educational excellence and community engagement.

Our campus is alive with a new energy that will propel us forward and help us face the opportunities and challenges that come with a new academic year. This energy will only grow as our students return to the residence halls next week, and classes begin August 29

I look forward to welcoming our students and friends of the university back to campus for another amazing semester.
Take care, be well, and Go Eagles!

Eagle Achievement Center

Work is underway to transform the fourth floor of the Parlett L. Moore Library into the new home of the Eagle Achievement Center (EAC), an innovative, centralized hub that will enhance campus communication, collaboration, and cohesiveness to meet the academic and professional development needs of our students.
The EAC will allow us to better support the holistic development of our current students, build an inclusive experience for our diverse student population, and empower them to achieve their academic, personal, and professional goals. The services offered under the EAC will transition from their current locations to the newly renovated, dedicated space when it is completed during the Spring 2023 semester. Read more about the EAC and its benefits for the Coppin Campus Community in our recent announcement.

Rice New Photo

Johnny Rice, II, Ph.D.
Concerns about squeegee workers in Baltimore have received a lot of attention recently from the press and politicians, including Mayor Brandon Scott, and the nominee for Baltimore City State’s Attorney, Ivan Bates. CSU Criminal Justice Chair, Johnny Rice II, Ph.D., MSCJ, spoke to the Baltimore Sun about ways we can address the complex issues around squeegee workers, and the need for a broad community conversation to find solutions.
Dr. Rice also recently spoke to CNN about necessary training and practices already in place for law enforcement when it comes to interacting with people experiencing a mental health crisis. “The stigma of mental illness can’t be something that influences response,” Rice said. “It has to be officers who have a sensitivity and awareness of the issue and also understand that they have resources and tools that can assist them to ensure that a person does not harm themselves or others.”

Coppin Students Participate in STEM Summer Internship with
Center for Nanotechnology

A group of Coppin State University undergraduates and Baltimore high school students are wrapping up their summer internship at the Center for Nanotechnology.
The interns have worked throughout the summer preparing and testing of dye-based solar cells used in common items such as light bulbs, portable chargers, and construction vests; preparing and analyzing metal nanoparticles used in the medical field; and studying how dye materials interact with light, as it is applied in the forensic field.
  Their internship will culminate in the annual STEM Day program at Coppin State University on September 26.

Coppin State University Alumna Joins West North Avenue Development Authority

Christy Turner (’22) has joined the West North Avenue Development Authority (WNADA), as a Community Revitalization Coordinator. Turner is an AmeriCorps Lead for America Fellow and will work full-time supporting the WNADA through June 2023.
During her time with WNADA she will assist Executive Director Chad Williams in develop and implement a comprehensive revitalization plan for the West North Avenue corridor in partnership with community stakeholders to improve housing, transportation, and economic development.
Turner believes her leadership experiences and coursework at Coppin has prepared her for her fellowship by giving her perspective.
Turner say she looks forward to connecting with the community in her work with WNADA.
“A lot of times, I think policy, planning, and community development are done by developers, and they don’t really include the community. I like that the Development Authority wants to include the community and understand their wants, their needs, and their desires for what they want their community to look like.”
When asked what she wished people knew about Charm City, she reflects on her desire for people to get to know the city, including West Baltimore.
“I wish [people] would realize there is value in all parts of Baltimore,” said Turner. “And when we value all parts of Baltimore, that’s when you can truly see its beauty.”
