The National Institute for the Study of Transfer Students has named Dr. Danyelle Tauryce Ireland, associate director of CWIT and research assistant professor of Engineering & Computing Education, a 2021 Transfer Champion Rising Star. The award honors her years of mentoring and advocating for UMBC transfer students in information technology and engineering fields.

“My professional background has been in K-12 education and some of my first experiences supporting students in higher education have been with the Transfer Scholars in IT and Engineering (T-SITE) program at UMBC,” says Ireland. “I identify as an educational scholar-practitioner, so to be recognized for my impact in service of students, and to have a former T-SITE Scholar contribute to the nomination process, was especially validating.”
