MAYAGUEZ CAMPUS (also referred as CAAM or R.U.M.): (from Wikipedia)
The University
of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Campus (UPRM) or Recinto
Universitario de Mayagüez (RUM) in Spanish (also
referred to as Colegio and CAAM in allusion
to its former name), is a public land-grant university in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. UPRM is the
second-largest university campus of the University of Puerto Rico system. In
addition to its status as a land-grant university, it is also a member of
the sea-grant and space-grant research
consortia. In 2009, the campus population was composed of 12,108 students,
1,924 regular staff members, and 1,037 members of the education staff. In
2013, the student population remained relatively steady at 11,838, but the
instructional faculty dropped to 684. In the second semester of 2019
around 12,166 students where enrolled.
UPRM
has been accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher
Education (MSCHE) since 1946. Also, the engineering
undergraduate program is accredited by the Accreditation
Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), the nursing
undergraduate program is accredited by the National League for Nursing (NLN) and
the Chemistry Department is recognized by the American Chemical Society (ACS). The
College of Business Administration is going through the process of the AACSB accreditation.
The Mayagüez campus of the University of Puerto Rico was a member of Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU)
from 1966 until 2017.
The University of Puerto Rico was created
by an act of the Legislative Assembly on March 12, 1903, emerging as an
outgrowth of the Normal School, which had been established three years earlier
to train teachers for the Puerto Rican school system. In 1908, the benefits of
the Morill-Nelson Act declared applicable to the island, fostered the rapid
growth of the university. Evidence of that growth was the establishment of the
College of Liberal Arts at Río Piedras in
1910 and the College of Agriculture at Mayagüez in 1911 as a land-grant university.
The
founding of the institution is credited to D.W. May (Director of the Federal
Experiment Station), José de Diego and
Carmelo Alemar. In 1912 the name of the institution was changed to the
College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts or Colegio de Agricultura y
Artes Mecánicas (CAAM).
In
1918, an earthquake and a fire caused significant damage to the institution.
The ruins of the entrance of one of the buildings, Degetau Hall
— which not only withstood the earthquake, but proved to be almost
indestructible after the rebuilt hall was torn down in the late 1950s — would
later become the emblem of the institution. In 1988, the archway (the portico)
was rebuilt, landscaped and turned into a monument.
The
campus rectory was located at the José de Diego building, the oldest standing
edification within the campus, built in 1911. The building was inscribed in the
National Historic Building Registry as an architectural patrimony. In 1940, a
clock tower was built into the main building. In 1993, the building underwent a
restoration.
In
1929, the Liga Atlética Interuniversitaria was
created at the Mayagüez campus. The LAI is an athletic organization, similar to
the NCAA, created with the
purpose of promoting and regulating sports activities. It originally consisted
of a three event competition: basketball, baseball and track and field.
Currently the competition consists of more than 25 sports.
In
1942 as a result of university reform, the campus was organized with a
considerable degree of autonomy into the Colleges of Agriculture, Engineering,
and Science under
the direction of a vice-chancellor. In the 1950s the institution
saw more programs added when the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Nuclear
Center were established.
The Puerto Rican Legislative Assembly reorganized
the University of Puerto Rico's system in 1966. This reorganization of the
system lead to the controversial change of its name to University of Puerto
Rico – Mayagüez Campus, which is used in the present day as the official name
of the institution.
In
2007, 35.4% of all Engineering degrees were granted to women at UPRM, one of
the largest percentages in US universities. The University of Puerto Rico at
Mayagüez is the second largest Hispanic-serving institution in the
United States.
In
2010 the campus went on strike as part of the 2010–2011 University of Puerto Rico
strikes. In 2017 in response to budget cuts to the University system
by the Financial
Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico the campus students
voted to join the University of Puerto Rico strikes,
2017.
UPRM is comprised by the Colleges
of Agricultural Sciences, Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Engineering, and the Division of Continuing Education and
Professional Studies. The College of Agricultural Sciences includes the
Agricultural Experiment Station.
The Administrative Board of
the Mayagüez Campus consists of the Chancellor as presiding officer, the deans, two academic senators elected among those
faculty members of the Senate who are not ex officio, senators, and an elected student representative.
The President of the University serves as an ex officio member. The Board acts as an advisory body
to the Chancellor, prepares the development plan of the Campus, approves the
proposed budget prepared by the Chancellor, and grants tenure, promotions and
leaves of absence.
The UPR-Mayagüez campus encompasses approximately 315 acres (1.27 km2). The campus has a sports complex that includes a gym, a weight room, rooms for dance/aerobic classes, courts for basketball, a tennis and volleyball complex, a natatorium, an outdoor sports field and the Rafael A. Mangual Coliseum. The campus offers two cafeterias, a bookstore, a bank, a lounge called La Cueva de Tarzán (Tarzan's cave) and a computer center, although several academic departments also operate their own computer laboratories. In 2016 after more than a decade in planning MUSA, a museum of art, was inaugurated on the campus. In 2019 a new cafe was opened in the College of Business Administration. The campus also contains the ruins of a historic structure called La Casilla del Caminero.
The Mayagüez Campus General Library serves the campus community
as well as residents of Mayagüez.
The University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez consists of four major
colleges:
·
College of Agricultural Sciences
·
College
of Arts and Sciences
·
College
of Business Administration
UPRM offers 52 bachelor's programs, 28 master's programs and
five doctoral programs.
UPRM offers undergraduate and graduate education in all of their
four colleges. Doctoral programs are offered in the College of Arts and
Sciences and the College of Engineering.
The College of Agricultural Sciences includes the Agricultural
Experiment Station and the Agricultural Extension Service.
UPRM College of Engineering graduation rates are higher than
the University of
Wisconsin, Texas A&M
University, University of
Washington and the University of Minnesota.
It has increased the percentage of its faculty with doctorates from 66.5% in
the 1999-00 academic year to 79.4% in 2007. As of Fall 2013, the Campus had 684
instructional faculty (660 full-time and 24 part-time), which includes those
who are tenured, on tenure-track, and not on tenure-track. In terms of student
enrollment, a total of 11,838 students were enrolled (10,944 undergraduates and
894 graduates).
The Mayagüez campus is one of two land-grant universities in the
tropics and the only one where Spanish is the native language (although English
is also used extensively). The campus provides a unique setting and, to some
extent, it is in a privileged position to serve as an international center for
studies, training, and research in the fields of agricultural sciences.
The academic calendar has two semesters: fall (early August to
mid-December) and spring (early January to mid-May). While textbooks and research
materials used at the University of
Puerto Rico are often in English, Spanish is the language of
instruction in most courses at UPRM, and students are required to have a
working knowledge of the English language. The individual professor decides the
language used in class lectures and in student evaluation activities.
Research
UPR-Mayagüez is one of the most important centers in the
Atlantic region for the study of tropical marine science due to its location,
facilities, and first-rate researchers. The research facilities includes the
Puerto Rico Water Resources and Environmental Research Institute, the Caribbean
Coral Reef Institute (CCRI), the Research and Development Center, the
Agricultural Research Station and the Caribbean Atmospheric Research Center
(ATMOSCarib).
The College of Engineering offers modern computerized
laboratories for teaching, measuring fatigue and fractures in different
materials, designing manufactured products and the processes to build them,
and computer design. There is a Center for Civil
Infrastructure used to design structures resistant to natural disasters and
transportation systems. Other research areas include development of solar powered vehicles and boats, use
of satellite photography to study earth
phenomena, and study of the environmental impact of industrial toxins.
The Departments of English, Humanities, and Hispanic Studies
also produce first-rate scholarship that is recognized around the world. Some
of the most important fields include digital humanities, Caribbean cultural studies,
and transnational topics. The campus hosts several conferences on cutting-edge
humanistic topics each year.
In addition to the numerous research laboratories under direct
faculty supervision, the Mayagüez campus has several research and development
institutes that provide valuable support for research activities. Arts and
Sciences is the College with the largest portfolio of funded research at the
university and the highest number of patents, mostly from the Physics
Department. Most of the science education funded efforts are in the following
areas: science and mathematics education, detection of explosives, environmental sciences, biotechnology, ecosystems and conservation, oceanic processes, nanotechnology and
advanced materials, human behavior and energy.
Its researchers, faculty, graduate and undergraduate students
are at the forefront of areas such as tsunamis,
nanotechnology, protein, oceanic processes, bio‐markers, coral reefs, applied
economics, disasters, monitoring of seismic activity, biodiversity and physical oceanography.
The research facilities includes a campus-wide wireless network available
to the whole university community (over 80 access points), Internet 2
