Researcher of the Week: Megha Jacob
Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!
This research will assess the effects of introducing music therapy
(MT) into physical therapy (PT) sessions. Physical illness due to
genetic and/or environmental factors (such as Down syndrome or car
accident injuries, respectively) can be traumatizing. This is especially
true with children because they are expected to cope with so much at
a young age. Therapy sessions can be intense and draining for
patients and can take a toll on their psychological state. MT, which
promotes wellness in individuals by offering therapeutic benefits to
the mind through the use of musical involvements, can help offset the
psychological fatigue associated with PT. I plan on researching the
specific types of physical disabilities for the children at the
schools/institutions, so I can better understand the limitations and
hazards of each disability. I also plan on attending educational
workshops based on music, education, and therapy so that I may work
under licensed therapists with both clinical and work experience. I wish
to create innovative therapy techniques to incorporate music into
therapy sessions by utilizing kinesthetic techniques to respond to
sounds, creating group exercises to heighten social skills, and
encouraging patients to compose and perform songs to help relieve
stress and stimulate their minds. The goal of my research is to
examine whether or not the combined use of PT and MT in therapy
sessions is positively correlated with the patient’s mental and
physical well-being.

Closing Thoughts
A few weeks ago I had a minor health scare: an anomaly during a routine checkup that could have been serious but turned out, after 11 days of waiting to see a specialist, to be nothing much. During the period between those two doctor’s appointments, I tried not to dwell on the darker possibilities. But of course my mind wandered unbidden, and I found myself both exploring my fears and taking stock of my life. And then, when almost all of my thoughts struck me as clichés, I pondered how clichés don’t seem trite at all when I’m living them.
Here is some of what I mulled over during those 11 days.
I thought about the courage and fortitude shown by people I know who have lived, or are living, with pain and medical uncertainty. Having had just a taste of it, I recognize how much stronger they are than I felt.
I thought about how generally happy I am with my life now, and how much I would like to continue enjoying it. Almost nothing has turned out the way I envisioned it decades ago, and thank heaven for that. I wish I could have more of my friends and family here with me, thousands of miles from where I grew up, but I’m deeply grateful for those I have here, and for the opportunity to do meaningful work as part of a dynamic, caring campus community.
I thought about the story of my life, and how it might read if it ended soon. The key plot points would be my two giant leaps away from my path-of-least-resistance career trajectories, decisions that have made everything that has followed possible. And the underlying theme would be how hard it was for me to figure out who I really was, and what I really cared about. I spent a lot of years struggling to free myself from the web of other people’s (often well-meaning) expectations and the (supposed) givens of everyday life, and to discover my own values and sense of purpose. My work at self-discovery and self-development is far from complete, but it’s only in the past few years that I’ve really felt good about how far I’ve come.
Finally, I thought about moments that really mattered to me: the often-unexpected instances of real, deep connection with the people around me. My wife Sharon and my close friends have taught me a lot about how to be myself, and not some version of me manufactured unconsciously in response to my circumstances. But so too have students and colleagues at UMBC, especially in those in-between moments when our formal roles have faded to the background and our common cares and humanity have mattered more.
I’ll carry these thoughts with me into the new year. They imply resolutions for 2011 and beyond.

Semester of Black and Gold
 |
| The culmination of Project Black and Gold, August 23, 2010 |
They appeared on campus in August, just ahead of the wave of new and returning students and the rush of Welcome Week: black and gold banners proclaiming Retriever pride. Their arrival coincided with the welcome news that UMBC had been named the #1 "up and coming" national university by U.S. News & World Report for a second consecutive year. On a campus visually dominated by clean lines and surfaces, the banners hinted at a creative spirit and the possibility of spontaneity. They said (not in so many words), "We're all UMBC together."
The banners were first proposed by SGA members enrolled my Civic Imagination course in fall 2008. Their vision was to contribute to school spirit by adding a splash of black and gold to the campus walkways. They and other SGA members worked with campus departments to get the help and support they needed. Last year, through Project Black and Gold, SGA invited everyone to participate in proposing and then voting on slogans for the banners. Students and staff created the designs. This was a true community project.
 |
| Flash mob, Albin O. Kuhn Library, December 14, 2010 |
Sixteen weeks after the banners went up, in the Albin O. Kuhn Library, another black and gold community project driven by students brought the semester to a close. And for all of the weeks in between those two moments, students in their organizations, on their residential floors, in The Commons and in their classrooms worked with campus partners to produce the events, discussions, projects and spontaneous fun that made the campus come alive.
No doubt there are people who will remember this as a semester of frustration over parking. I've done my share of walking onto campus from a lot outside the loop. But what I'm going to remember are the pancake eating contest and the Homecoming Bonfire, the night I learned about how Students for Automotive Engineering builds cars in a campus workshop, the energy and vision of First Year Council members hatching plans to boost campus spirit, SGA members reaching out to support and empower students with big ideas, students planning innovative Alternative School Break trips, developing social change projects, creating new student organizations, advocating for justice, and finding new ways to help each other explore and be themselves. And I'll remember those banners and the flash mob: black and gold bookends to a semester well spent.

Today's Special: new accessions & highlights
In an effort to highlight the new material that comes into Special Collections every week, Special Collections staff will begin to post brief summaries of some of our recent acquisitions. These highlights may include new items from our Bafford Photography Collection, University Archives, Regional or Personal Manuscripts, the Center for Biological Sciences Archives, or one of our many book collections centered on photography, science fiction, artist books, Maryland and Baltimore history, radical thought, alternative presses, or faculty/staff publications. These materials are open to researchers; please contact Special Collections staff or see our website for more information on all of our holdings.
A unique collection for UMBC! Fifteen boxes of television scripts dating from 1954 to 1978. Includes classics like Batman (scripts from 1965-1967), The Beverly Hillbillies (1961-1964), The Brady Bunch (1970-1972), Mission: Impossible (1968-1972), The Mod Squad (1968-1972), and The Partridge Family (1970-1971).
These four color photographic prints were donated by former Library Director Jonathan LeBreton. The prints show the construction of the Library tower in 1993.
UARC 2010-027: University Photographs
