Make It Work May 15, 2011

Fashion Design has arrived at Stevenson University


Stevenson University is continuing to grow annually with the development of new academic buildings and facilities, a larger and more diverse student body, new and improved classes and even new majors. Starting next fall, Stevenson will be offering a Fashion Design major to its students. 

Just as Stevenson is rapidly growing and changing, the design field is continuously moving as well. To stay afloat on such a popular and demanding field requires individuals to hold a solid foundation of both relevant garment and accessory design and production practice. The Fashion Design major is designed to prepare its students to develop this knowledge.

The curriculum is intended to entice its students through offering a profound understanding of apparel design that will survive in the retail marketplace. The degree will encourage students to incorporate his or her own individual aesthetics of design with an overall understanding of the design market, design history, psychology of design, necessary materials and techniques and relationships to the human form.

Fashion Design will be a new major added to Stevenson’s School of Design, and includes inspiration from current and successful Visual Communication Design, Film/Video/Theater and Business Communication majors already within the school, in addition to Business Administration from the School of Business.

Upon completion of the Fashion Design program, students will be able to apply the skills learned to become practicing Fashion Design professionals and to be competitive in a demanding market.

As senior year begins to end your freshman year will be beginning. So capture every moment with friends, soak up the sun, and enjoy the summer because school starts August 29, 2011.

Over the summer you will be receiving emails from Maumi Cannell-Chatterton, Financial Aid Representatives, Residence Life Representatives, and so much more! Be sure to check your snail-mail, email, and voicemail for updates on your status with us here at Stevenson. As well as, be sure to keep an eye out for updates about the Owings Mills and Greenspring campuses and the Stevenson Athletic teams.

Here is an UNOFFICIAL CHECKLIST of things to have finished before moving in this August:

  1. Enjoy your high school prom & graduation
  2. Confirm your attendance to your Mustang Day in June
  3. Have any questions ready for your Mustang Day
  4. Complete your Personal Characteristics Checklist on WebXpress
  5. Fill out and return your Health Form to the Wellness Center
  6. Get caught up on any shots, especially meningitis because you can’t move in without it
  7. Look for your building, room, and roommate information letter to come in the mail
  8. Get in contact, if you can, with your roommate & suitemates to discuss who brings what
  9. Go shopping for EVERYTHING you may need for your dorm & pack it all up in the car
  10. Hit the road and move in to your ‘New Home’ on campus

Look Out May 11, 2011

Be on the look out!

Maumi Cannell-Chatterton will be sending out several emails throughout the summer to get you prepped and ready to go for this coming school year.

I’m sure you’re all wondering… How do I pick my roommate? How do I know what building I’m in? Along with so many other questions that you want answered. Here are a few answers that will be able to hold you off until those emails rush in:

Hold off on the roommates until after Mustang Days in June. After Orientation we will kick off the process. You will do your Personal Characteristics on WebXpress and then you and your roommates (we need to hear from EVERYONE) will email ResLife (we’ll get that email up & running again).

You will be assigned FIRST to the Freshman Billing Room (building 500 – room 500) so that Housing costs show up on your bill because that is important for Financial Aid, etc. But we actually place you in your room with your roommates in late July & early August. But you will be living in the two BRAND NEW residential suites currently going through last minute construction and inspections.

It is important to remember that you also have to make sure you get in your Health Form and get the meningitis vaccine – you don’t get to move in without them! Hope this helps resolve some of those lingering questions.

Also be sure to join the Stevenson University Class of 2015 Facebook page to meet and chat with fellow 2015 Mustangs and/or follow Stevenson on Twitter @StevensonU for campus updates.

We can’t wait to see all of you new Mustangs in August!!

Posted by Marina in : Informational Events, Spring 2011 , add a comment

Would like to invite anyone interested to the D*SIRE student group interest meeting TONIGHT, Wednesday, April 20th, at 8pm in Rockland B!  We are starting a student D*SIRE group on campus and would love for you to be a part of it!

What is D*SIRE?

D*SIRE is a coalition against sexual assault and relationship violence. D*SIRE’s goals are to educate the SU community about the reality of relationship violence, the correlation between alcohol and sexual assault, and the importance of safe dating.
D*SIRE works to create procedures around responsive crisis intervention, providing victim-centered care and access to resources, while encouraging a campus culture that reflects civility, honor, respect and non-violence.

Stand Up Against Cancer April 15, 2011

Posted by Marina in : Fun Events, Informational Events, Spring 2011 , add a comment

For the first time, the Stevenson University community is hosting Relay For Life to benefit the American Cancer Society. The overnight event will take place Friday, April 15 and run through Saturday, April 16, 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Festivities will be held in Stevenson’s Owings Mills campus gymnasium, located on 10945 Boulevard Circle in Owings Mills, Maryland.

Students, staff and faculty members will sacrifice a night of sleep to participate in teams where they will walk the gym in support of Relay for Life. Additionally, there will be free food and a myriad of entertainment and fundraising activities in which off duty team members can participate. Each team, representing a different club, organization, or department at Stevenson, will be walking to raise money for cancer research and Relay for Life.

Registration for these teams will remain open until the start of Relay For Life, and is open to the entire Baltimore community. The participants need only pay a minimum donation of $10, which serves as a registration fee, and can join an existing team, create a new team, or participate individually. Registration can be completed at http://www.relayforlife.org/StevensonUniversity.


Once participants enter the gym, they can leave and re-enter at their leisure until midnight, when re-admission will be closed.

Prior to the event, Stevenson is hosting a free reception for cancer survivors and their caregivers, from 5-6 p.m. in the Brown School of Business. Those interested in attending must pre-register by calling or emailing Nick Farano at 516-710-5842 or by e-mail: nfarano@stevenson.edu.

Relay For Life is an American Cancer Society-sponsored event that brings communities together around the globe to create awareness and raise funds for cancer research. “Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length,” according to the organization’s website.

NASD April 13, 2011

Posted by Marina in : Fun Events, Informational Events, Spring 2011 , add a comment

On Wednesday, April 13th Stevenson hosted it’s annual National Alcohol Screening Day (NASD) Field Tests on the Greenspring Campus at the MC from 10 am to 2 pm and on the Owings Mills Campus at Rockland from 11:30 am to 1 pm and at Ratcliffe from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm.

Every year surveys are taken, games are played, and students learn about the effects of alcohol through interactive games.

Games included:

Alcohol Screening Survey (answer questions about yourself and your peers related to alcohol usage).

Sobriety Check (walking the line with beer goggles on).

Dart Board (playing darts with beer goggles on).

Pour Your Own Drink (mix the correct amount of alcohol for drinks).

Tricycle (riding a tricycle through a coned area with beer goggles on).

Brain Injury Association (learn how alcohol damages the brain).


While some college students may drink, more and more of them drink alcohol in ways that can place them and others at risk. NASD raises awareness, educates students about unhealthy drinking habits and offers them confidential alcohol screenings.

The screenings – offered online or in-person at NASD events — are anonymous and confidential. The brief screening about alcohol use will help students get help if needed and referrals are tailored for the campus counseling center or health center.

Take It Back April 8, 2011

Welcome to Take Back The Night. A place free from sexual assault and abuse. We invite you to become part of the solution, part of the end to sexual violence. Here is a place to take a stand, a place to break the silence.
Here we can TAKE BACK THE NIGHT!

Come out and support the many people in the world who have suffered, died, and could suffer from sexual assault and abuse. It will be taking place tomorrow night, Monday April 18th in the Apartment Quad on the Owings Mills Campus from 7pm to 9 pm.

Last year Stevenson University hosted Take Back The Night and it was an amazing night event that allowed for many students, faculty, and staff to come together and support each other through the issues that some are faced with every day.

As a part of this night Stevenson’s own D*SIRE group and students have met several times this semester to review Stevenson’s sexual assault and abuse policy, to compare it to other University and College’s policies, and to take a stand to break the silence and get the policies redefined to better fit the views and needs of Stevenson students.
