She is part of the program s sixth cohort. The Nurse Faculty Scholarsprogram, which seeks to develop the next generation of national leaders in academic nursing, offers talented junior faculty three years of career development support Dr. Ogbolu, an assistant professor and deputy director of the Office of Global Health, received the Outstanding UMB Faculty Award as part of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Diversity Recognition Awards, presented in February, 2014 during the University s Black History Month celebration.

She has garnered more than $3 million in funded projects targeting disadvantaged middle and high school students, as well as graduate nursing students in Baltimore City, Baltimore and Prince George s counties, and the Eastern Shore. Prior to Dr. Fahie s work with the Maryland State Department of Education, less than 10% of the high school students from disadvantaged backgrounds were enrolled in college preparatory courses. Now 50% take such courses and 80% are applying to college. Collaborating with Morgan State University, she was able to offer a residential weekend college readiness program to high school sophomores. Her commitment to the Adventures in Science Program, which allows city youths between 8 and 15 to become excited about science by exploring scientific topics, has seen her devote Saturdays for eight weeks every fall and spring for 16 years
