Exum is snown in her office at the University of Maryland-Baltimore County, where she has been admitted to Graduate School to pursue her doctorate degree, majoring in Policy Sciences. She is the youngest person ever admitted to the program. Native Of Warren Youngest In Program Melissa E. Exum, a 1978 graduate of John Graham High School, has been admitted to the University of Maryland-Baltimore County Graduate School to pursue her doctorate. Her major area of study will be Policy Sciences, with a concentration in Evaluative and Administrative Policy. Miss Exum is the youngest person ever admitted to this program. Policy Sciences is a new and fast-growing field of study which combines interdisciplinary education in the social sciences with training in policy-making. The objective is to provide students with a broad understanding of the complex of social, economic, and political forces within which the policy-making process occurs, as well as basic analytical and administrative skills that can be applied to policy problems. The Ph.D. program serves a small group of students who are carefully selected for their ability to pursue advanced studies in furtherance of careers in research or teaching, or in preparation for especially demanding positions in policy analysis, planning, and evaluation. According to a University of Maryland-Baltimore County spokesman, Miss Exum "brings to the program a strong background in research and evaluation and will be a definite asset to the program. She is well-known for her precision in applying basic research and methodology tools to practical problems in an effort to offer viable solutions to resolving them. She has done a significant amount of innovative research on a wide range of topics from Affirmative Action Programs in Higher Education to the Economic Consequences of Governmental Deregulation." Miss Exum did her undergraduate studies at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, graduating in 1982 with a major in Sociology. She continued her education at the University of Maryland-Baltimore County, located in Catonsville, Md., where she was awarded a Masters Degree in Medical Sociology, graduating Summa Cum Laude. While in this twoyear program she was a graduate teaching assistant, teaching one section of the basic introductory sociology course the first year. In her second year she became the youngest person to teach Research Methodology and Statistics at the graduate level. Currently, Miss Exum is the resident director of a residential facility on campus. Her responsibilities include the direct supervision and management of a staff of 30 persons and a dormitory which houses 400 students. The university spokesman noted that Miss Exum "is well-known not only for her academic excellence but also for her willingness to help others. She is considered as a positive role model for the students, and held in high esteem throughout the university community." Miss Exum is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Exum of Warrenton, and the granddaughter of Mrs. Bessie Jones and the late Hinton Jones.
