Announcing Distinguished University Professors
Dear UMB Community,
I’m pleased to announce that six University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) professors have been recognized with the designation of Distinguished University Professor. The title of Distinguished University Professor is the highest appointment bestowed on a faculty member at UMB. It is a recognition not just of excellence, but also of impact and significant contribution to the nominee’s field, knowledge, profession, and/or practice.
I hope you’ll join me in congratulating these exemplary faculty colleagues:

- Susan Dorsey, PhD, RN, FAAN, professor, Department of Organizational Systems and Adult Health, University of Maryland School of Nursing; professor, Departments of Anesthesiology and Medicine, University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM); and professor, Department of Neural and Pain Sciences, University of Maryland School of Dentistry
- Steven Kittner, MD, MPH, professor, Department of Neurology, UMSOM

I’m extremely proud of the exceptional and transformational contributions each of these faculty members has made in support of UMB’s mission to improve the human condition and serve the public good. They are excellent examples of living UMB’s core values, and it is my honor to call them colleagues. We will celebrate them and they will receive their Distinguished University Professor medals at UMB's Convocation on Sept. 12.
Sincerely,
Bruce E. Jarrell, MD, FACS
