When it comes down to it, a yearbook exists mostly for the students. But for students to really feel a connection to their yearbook, it must be as personal as possible. That's why this 2011 yearbook is according to you. This yearbook is for you: the students (and espe- cially the seniors) at the University of Maryland. And this year, we wanted to do our best to portray the school through your eyes. We filled the book with quotes from seniors (like you) about their experiences here. What do you think it means to be a Terp? What will you al- ways remember about being here? What was your fa- vorite part of attending the University of Maryland? Our goal was to get answers to questions like these from seniors, possibly even you, because we believe the more connected you are to your yearbook, the more it will evoke fond memories years from now when college has faded into the past. Capturing a university as large as this one is difficult to do in just 320 pages, but we hope that we portrayed the school as you would like to remember it. Most of all, we hope that when you look at this yearbook, your time here will come rushing back. Finally, congratulations Class of 2011— you made it!

The A. James Clark School of Engineer- ing was founded in 1894 as the College of Engineering, and has since expanded to have an undergraduate enrollment of about 3,000 students, with facilities that cover more than 750,000 square feet of space in 14 buildings.
The School ranks highly among na- tional engineering schools. According to the 2010 U.S. News and World Report, the School's undergraduate programs rank 23rd, and the School is tied for the 9th best public engineering school in the country.
The School offers a variety of majors: aerospace engineering, bioengineering, chemical and biomolecular engineering, civil and environmental engineering, electrical and computer engineering, fire protection engineering, materials science and engineering and mechanical engineering.
Standout engineering students are also invited to take part in presti- gious campus groups such as Gemstone, Hinman CEOs or College Park Schol- ars. Research, internship and co-op opportunities are also available. A three- year program called QUEST, the Quality Enhancement Systems and Teams program, is another program offered. Students are selected through this program to take part in team-based classes through collaboration with the Robert H. Smith School of Business.
The most recent addition to the School is the Jeong H. Kim Engineering Building, completed in 2005. The building offers engineering labs, rooms to conduct research, lecture halls and classrooms for the budding minds of future engineers.
"My four years in the Clark School have been very rewarding," said Laura Hereford, a senior mechanical engineering major. "Between the de- partmental programs, extracurricular activities and faculty leadership, the Clark School offers its students great opportunities to prepare for life after their undergrad years."
Notable graduates include Robert Briskman ('61), co-founder of Sirius Radio, and Gordon Eng- land ('61), the Deputy Secretary of the U.S. De- partment of Defense.

The University of Maryland's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources lauds the ability of its students, and it's easy to see why. Students from across a variety of departments (Agricultural and Resource Economics, Agricultural Science and Tech- nology, Animal and Avian Sciences, Applied Agriculture, Dietetics, Environmental Sci- ence and Policy, Environmental Science and Technology, Food Science, Landscape Archi- tecture, Nutritional Science and Plant Sci- ences) leave the school with a strong sense of the world in which we live.
The College is headed by Dr. Cheng-i Wei, a seasoned researcher and professor who took on the position in 2005. During his time in office, more than $11 million has been raised for the School.
Students at the "ag school" can participate in any of the many clubs of- fered through the school, like the Food and Nutrition Club (the "FAN club") or Block and Bridle, where members gain hands-on experience with livestock like cows, sheep and pigs. Each club is paired with its own faculty adviser. An undergraduate honors program is also offered. Juniors who have at least a 3.2 cumulative grade point average with a minimum GPA of 3.2 in major-related classes are invited to apply. Honors students are eligible for honors classes through the University Honors System, and at graduation the students receive an honors certificate along with their degree.
The College takes an active role in preparing students for education af- ter college, offering pre-law, pre-veterinary medicine and pre-medical or den- tal school tracks. Advisers are available in the College to help pre-profession- al students select relevant classes, prepare applications and get ready for admissions interviews.
The College also actively works with students looking for internships. It provides listings of possible internships for students, who can then work with advisers in the selection and application process.
Friendly, knowledgeable upperclassmen are selected from the College to be peer mentors (PMs), who advise fellow students in a laid-back, casual atmosphere. The PMs work with the Office of Academic Programs to gain the knowledge they need to effectively advise freshmen and sophomores who need academic guidance. All incoming freshmen must meet with a PM before scheduling a meeting with their faculty adviser.

2S?^#»e5i The University of Maryland's School of Ar-
chitecture was founded in 1967 and was origi- nally housed in a building used in World War 11. The founding dean, John W Hill, actively worked toward academic prestige for the school. Today, the school is ranked nationally in the country for its architecture program and competent, highly skilled graduates. David Cronrath, AIA, is the current dean of the School.
Four programs exist within the school: the architecture program, the school's undergradu- ate 8e graduate program and three graduate pro- grams in urban studies and planning, historic preservation and real estate development. What mak:es the School so successful is its close proximity to three ma- jor cities: Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Annapolis. The architecture in these areas is incredibly diverse, lending many varying examples of archi- tecture to students.
Becoming an architect is no easy task— a student needs a professional degree to practice architecture. Students at Maryland can receive their four- year Bachelor of Arts degree from the university, and then attend a two-year master's program at the School. This is opposed to a five-year program from other universities.
Undergraduates in the School take CORE classes their first two years, and then move on to higher-level architecture programs as upperclassmen. The CORE classes are lectures on topics like calculus and physics, but also special courses like Architectural Drawing and Introduction to the Built En- vironment.
Two research programs, staffed by faculty and students alike, are rim. outside of the School at the Colvin Institute of Real Estate Development (which examines sustainability through architecture) and the National Cen- ter for Smart Growth Research and Education (which studies aspects of land use in the U.S., Europe and Asia).
Students in the school are offered advising with professionals, who guide students through their years at the School of Architecture. The School boasts advisers who are knowledgeable, accessible and friendly.
Numerous student organizations are affiliated with the school: the American Institute of Architecture Students, the Architecture Student As- sembly Board, Emerging Green Builders, the Historic Preservation Organiza- tion, the National Organization of Minority Students in Architecture, the Stu- dent Planning i^vssociation and the Society of Real Estate Development.

' ^HH ™— ^, V^H^ s^^^' ranging from English literature to music
to women's studies. A number of certificates are available as well.
According to the website, the College's mission is "to create global citizens equipped to assess received opinion, make independent judgments, and value the transforming power of the imagination," and it's easy to see how the College lives up to this promise. The Col- lege integrates technology and specialized teaching to give students the tools to graduate as educated, thoughtful citizens.
Living-learning communities such as Honors Humanities, Digital Cul- tures and Creativity, College Park Scholars in the Arts, Language House and the Jimenez-Porter Writers' House are also based out of the College of Arts and Humanities.
The College prides itself on the attention it gives its students, who are paired with both a departmental adviser (who guides students within their major) and a college adviser (who deals with academic issues outside the major). Students must meet with both of these advisers at least three times in their college career, ensuring personal, close ties for the students in the college.
"The advisers are incredibly accommodating and the professors clearly love teaching which makes the courses all the more interesting," said senior English major Maddie Lareau.
Students with a grade point average of 3.0 and higher are invited to apply to Departmental Honors Programs, lending a special distinction to stand-out students. Especially gifted seniors are nominated for the Dean's Senior Scholars Award, bestowed at the Dean's Scholars Banquet.
Every year, the College also sponsors an Access 2 Alumni event, an opportunity to meet alumni ana potential employers.

Located in Tydings Hall is the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences (BSOS), home to more than 5,000 undergraduates majoring in African American studies, an- thropology, criminology and criminal jus- tice, economics, geography, government and politics, hearing and speech sciences, a joint program in survey methodology, psy- chology or sociology. BSOS is the largest col- lege on the campus.
The College was established in 1919, as the School of Liberal Arts. Initially con- sisting of only three departments (history, political science and economics), the School expanded throughout the years to officially become BSOS in 197S. Today, the college is headed by John Townshend, who became dean in 2009 after serving as the chair of the College's Department of Geog- raphy from 1989-1995 and 2000-2009.
BSOS offers a number of programs to undergraduates including aca- demic honors societies or CIVICUS, a two-year living-learning program for students interested in community service. The College also grants university honors, college honors and departmental honors to gifted undergraduates. Similarly, Mock Trial is a popular club on campus hosted within the school. BSOS hosts events open to both students and the general public, such as the October conference entitled "The Tea Party and the 2010 Elections." BSOS also celebrates Constitution Day, commemorating the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. Tom Perez, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, was also on hand to speak about "Civil Rights in 2010 and Beyond."
The College houses a number of notable faculty members. Thomas Schelling in the economics department won the Nobel Prize for economics. Both Maureen Cropper in the economics department and Ruth DeFries in the geography department are members of the National Academy of Sciences (DeFries is also a MacArthur Fellow).
BSOS is prestigious on the campus. To apply, university students must possess a minimum 3.3 GPA and undergo an application process to pick up a BSOS major.
"I like the fact that almost all the majors here are competitive to get into," Annalisa Allen, a senior government and politics major. "It shows that [the University of] Maryland is a great school."

The College of Chemical and Life Sciences has four majors: biochemistry, biological sci- ences (with concentrations in cell biology and molecular genetics, evolution and ecology, general biology, microbiology and physiology and neurobiology), chemistry and environ- mental sciences. A minor in neurobiology is aJso available. The College has more than 200 faculty members and about 3,000 undergrads, all equipped with the tools needed to delve deeper into the way the world works. The Col- lege is housed in eight buildings on campus. Research is an integral part of any sci- ence education. The College has researchers in comparative and functional genomics, ecologi- cal sustainability, host-pathogen interactions, nanoscience and biomaterials and sensory neuroscience.
Four of the departments— biology, cell biology and molecular genetics, chemistry/biochemistry and entomology— offer departmental honors. Stu- dents usually apply to the programs after completing a year of research with a faculty member and join the fall of their junior year. Honors students at- tend seminars with other students in their program. At the end of the pro- gram, an honors student writes a thesis, which he or she then orally pres- ents to faculty members for evaluation.
CLFS students often apply to graduate school or professional school after graduation. With graduate degrees, CLFS students most often go into research, work for the government, or teach. Professional schools, such as medical school or dental school, prepare students for a chosen field. The Col- lege's Health Professions Advising Office advises students, preparing them for professional school. Before a student applies for graduate school, he or she chooses a faculty member mentor in the school. Students can then re- search with their chosen mentors before going to graduate school.
Since July 1, 2010, the dean of the College has been Stephen Halperin, Ph.D., a Cornell graduate. He was formerly the dean of the College of Comput- er, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, a post he took in 1999.
The College hosts seminars every year, open to students, faculty and the general public. In 2010, the College hosted seminars on topics like Targeting Disease Tissues with (low) pH Insertion Peptide, Bimetallic Nanoparticles as CO-Tolerant Electrocatalysts of PEM Fuel Cells and Evolution of Eye Reduc- tion in Parasites. These seminars are given by professionals, national re- searchers or university faculty and researchers.

Sergey Brin co-foimded the search giant Google. Robert Fisch- ell invented the present-day stent. Paul Butler discovered extra-solar planets. What do these men have in common? Each man is an alumnus of the College of Computer, Math- ematical and Physical Sciences at the University of Maryland. The College consists of about 2,000 un- dergraduates studying astronomy, computer science, geology, math- ematics, physics, physical sciences, atmospheric and oceanic science or computer engineering.
The school is highly competitive. According to U.S. News and World Report, the College's geochemistry program ranks seventh and its physics program ranks fourth. Its computer science program also ranks 14th and its mathematics program ranks SOth in the country.
The College actively works to address the lack of women in physical sci- ence. By offering an inclusive, judgment-free place for education, the College hopes women will feel comfortable working in the sciences. An all-women campus club, the Association of Women in Computing, offers tutoring and mentoring to women to encourage them to pursue a computer science de- gree. The club also offers free seminars and events. Another club. Women in Math, is a chapter of the National Association for Women in Mathematics. The group works to advance women in the math field, and is open to under- graduates, graduate students and faculty. WTM offers mentoring and tutor- ing to women in the College.
Numerous members of the school's faculty are award winners. In 2010, Roberta Rudnick received a Distinguished University Professor award for her work regarding the continental lithosphere. Dave Thirumalai received the same award for working in biophysics, chemistry and biology. Rita Col- well received the post of an Honorary Member of the Royal Irish Academy and James Drake received the 2010 James Clerk Maxwell Prize for Plasma Physics by the American Physical Society.
CMPS is active in philanthropy. The College actively encourages its stu- dents to develop philanthropic areas of study and assigns a mentor to help develop a program. Through initiatives such as "A Call to Arms," students try to m.ake a difference in the world through science.
Campus programs like QUEST, University Honors and College Park Scholars are affiliated with the College.

University of Maryland's College of Educa- tion is home to seven departments: Counseling and Personnel Services, Curriculum and In- struction, Education Policy Studies, Education Leadership, Higher Education and Internation- al Education, Human Development, Measure- ment, Statistics and Evaluation and Special Education. The College has roughly 1,000 un- dergraduates and is ranked the 25th best edu- cation program by the U.S. News and World Report.
In addition to CORE requirements, educa- tion majors take education pre-professional requirements related to their sector, as deter- mined by the College, and apply to the profes- sional program of their major. Students take Praxis I, a test designed to gauge a student's skills as a potential teacher. The program culminates with a professional program or a year-long teaching internship, where students teach in a classroom that is off campus. Students are placed in schools that are partnered with the university.
The College also offers a teaching certificate program. A student can receive a certificate and degree in early childhood, elementary education, secondary education, special education, music education, or physical educa- tion. A five-year combined bachelor's/master's in secondary education is also available.
The human development department of the College sponsors The Center for Young Children, a preschool located on North Campus. Students can work at the center, gaining valuable experience working with kids.
The College is housed in the Benjamin Building, named after former dean Harold R.W. Benjamin. Benjamin was dean of the school from 1938- 1943 and 1947-1952. The current dean is Donna L. Wiseman, Ph.D., who has been at the university since the start of 2000. Wiseman became dean in May 2008.
Many clubs and organizations are hosted through the College. For exam- ple, Terp Pals pairs new students (associates) with current students (advo- cates) to help the new students adjust to campus life. Advocates show their associates around campus and the College, acting as mentors and explaining the different aspects of the university. The College also plans large group ses- sions for Terp Pals.
Finally, the College takes an active role in preparing students for their professional life.

University of Maryland's College of Informa- tion Studies (the iSchool) offers three graduate degrees: a Master of Library Science, a Master of Information Management and a Doctor of Philoso- phy. A dual-degree master's program in History and Library Science is also offered. About 375 graduate students are enrolled in the College.
The College is part of a national iSchools con- sortium, which seeks to educate students about various aspects of technology. More than 20 na- tional universities are enrolled in this program. iSchools offer an innovative, collective edu- cation. The schools are governed by an iCaucus, made up of deans from the participating univer- sities. The consortium was founded in 2005 by educators seeking to give students a new, innovative education parallel with today's information age. Every year, the iSchools gather for an iConference, a melting pot of like-minded students and professionals in iSchools to share news, ideas and innovations in the field.
The College is relatively small, allowing students to have close interac- tion with professors— a 1:12 student faculty ratio exists within the College. Adding to the College's close-knit feel is the ISCHOOLDISCUSSION, a college- wide discussion group. Through an e-mail listerv, students and faculty in- teract online, and discuss everjrthing from current events to innovations in information science. This informal online interaction promotes unity and the transfer of ideas.
Students can also take part in various on-campus clubs offered in asso- ciation with the College.
The College actively works to guide students toward their chosen career path. Faculty members have developed various career course plans (aca- demic librarian, business information specialist, cataloger, health sciences librarian, indexer/abstractor, information architect, law librarian, ontolo- gist/taxonomist, public librarian, special librarian and youth services public librarian) that clearly outline courses and activities a student should partici- pate in for each career listed. Students are also paired with their own advis- er. These advisers guide students through their chosen major.
Students in the College are also actively engaged in research. Current projects include the International Children's Digital Library, which looks at how children can use digital books, and Global Autonomous Language Ex- ploration, which researches how to tak:e large amounts of information and translate it into different languages.

The Philip Merrill College of Journal- ism is widely regarded as one of the top journalism schools in the country, and it's easy to see why. The faculty, which includes Pulitzer Prize winners, actively strives to prepare students to become the next big gumshoe. Three main concentrations exist in the school's "multiplatform journalism." Students can focus on broadcast, news/edi- torial, or online journalism.
The College is housed in the newly built Knight Hall. Included in the $30 million dol- lar renovation were high-tech classrooms and multimedia labs aimed at training stu- dents for professional work. Students have access to professional programs like InDe- sign and Dreamweaver, which professors often include in their curriculums.
The College also offers Capital News Service, a semester-long, intensive crash course on reporting, where students are placed in an Annapolis or Washington, D.C., bureau to cover local and national news. Stories by stu- dents are sent out on the wire, available to national papers to pick up.
Students looking to report outside of the area can take Urban Affairs Reporting, taught by former Baltimore Sun deputy managing editor Sandy Banisky Students in the class report in Baltimore, covering a broad, chosen beat every semester. Students actually travel into the city to find stories and interview people, using the College as a home base and Banisky as an editor.
Broadcast students can work with UMTV, a local news program based out of the College and written and produced by journalism students.
"I really feel a strong connection to the school," said Deanna LeBlanc, a senior broadcast journalism major. "I've had some amazing professors who really want to see me succeed. I feel equipped with the skills I need to become a journalist."
The dean of the college, Kevin Klose, arrived at the school last year with a solid journalism background. Before serving as dean, Klose was president of National Public Radio and a former editor and foreign news reporter at The Washington Post.
Graduates of the College leave with a strong sense of the news and well- defined reporting skills. Recent graduates have gone on to jobs at prestigious news outlets like USA Today and Newsweek. Notable alumni include Connie Chung and ESPN's Scott Van Pelt.

Located in the sprawling, multimillion- dollar Van Munching Hall is the Robert H. Smith School of Business, a nationally ranked business college with about 5,000 undergraduates. U.S. News and World Re- port ranked the undergraduate business program 19th in the nation. The School of- fers undergraduate majors in accounting, ^ finance, general business, information sys- tems, international business, supply chain management, marketing and operations management. \ V '^"'^'^'^'^^tU "^^^ School began in 1921 as the De-
X^ijLj^^^;^'- ^1 partment of Economics/Business Adminis-
" '** ^^ ' ^^^ tration. Van Munching Hall was built in the
1990s, and was named the Robert H. Smith School of Business shortly after a multi-mil- lion dollar donation by Smith.
The school is made up of collections of fellows, small groups within the school that hone in on a specific aspect of business. The fellow groups become a family within the college. Field trips, seminars and other extracurricular activities are planned for each group. First-year incoming students can be placed in Freshman Fellows (or Accelerated Freshman Fellows), and in their junior year, are invited to participate in one of the extremely varied pro- grams, ranging from design and innovation marketing fellowships to supply chain fellowships to music management fellowships. Each fellowship is differ- ent and extremely competitive.
Based out of the School is the Dingman Center for Entrepreneurship, which was created in the mid-1980s. On Fridays (except the last Friday of the month), students give a new business pitch to a panel of Dingman staff. The Dingman staff evaluates it in four steps. On the last Friday of the month, students can participate in Pitch Dingman. Students develop a business plan, which is then analyzed in a contest-style evaluation process. The winner re- ceives $2,500.
There is also Dingman Jumpstart, where students enroll in an intensive two-week entrepreneurship program to brainstorm business ideas, and the Capital Access Network, where fledgling student businesses can pair with Angel Investors (wealthy benefactors who support businesses).
"My favorite part is the opportunities to gain leadership experience while learning about personal and career interests," said Alison DePaolis, a senior finance and international business major.

The University of Maryland's School of Public Health is both an undergraduate and graduate college. Boasting an enrollment of almost 1,200 undergraduates, the School's undergraduate majors are community health, family science, kinesiology, physi- cal education and public health science. The dean of the School is Robert S. Gold, who is also a researcher and professor.
The School is all about the general health and wellbeing of the population, and offers unusual classes on specialized sub- jects, like Social Marketing in Public Health |K^ """^^^^^g^ii^ '" T,^ and Epidemiology in the Media: Truth or
^■^_ '^^l^^^^lB^^.,^ Fiction.
Every year, the School hosts the School of Public Health's Research Interaction Day, where undergraduates, gradu- ate students and faculty present the findings of their research. The event is open to the entire student population. The event is a way to show off the in- credible research being done by the School, and to act as networking tool for students.
The School also offers a variety of programs for the campus community, including Gymkana, a substance-free, high-flying gymnastics act. Health Lit- eracy, a program promoting health education, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, a health program for adults 50 and older, and a health partnership with the city of Seat Pleasant.
The School offers two honors programs in family science and kinesiol- ogy. Admission into these programs is prestigious. The honors programs cul- minate with an honors thesis at the end of a student's undergraduate educa- tion.
Phi Alpha Epsilon is an honor society open to undergraduate communi- ty health, family science, kinesiology and physical education majors. The so- ciety is more than 50 years old, and its letters stand for philosophy, growth and achievement. Participants must have a 3.5 GPA or higher, and must be invited by a faculty member.
Affiliated with the School is the Maryland Institute for Applied Envi- ronmental Health (MIAEH), which consists of faculty members and stu- dents who perform public, environmental health outreach for the university. The group's main purpose is to make our environment safer, and with the School's close proximity to Washington, D.C., the opportunities for students in the program are vast.

The University of Maryland's School of Public Policy is mainly a graduate school, of- fering a master's in public policy, a master's in public management-policy track, an ex- ecutive master's in public management and a master's in engineering and public policy
Undergraduates can also enroll in a joint bachelor's/master's program through the School. A student first works toward a
bachelor's degree in a major through the
» ^ College of Behavioral and Social Sciences
-^ through his or her junior year, and is then jml allowed to take graduate classes through ___li^iiij^iifl the School of Public Policy— 18 credits of
these public policy classes count toward both the bachelor's and master's degrees. After completing undergraduate work, a student then takes 30 credits of graduate classes at the School. This pro- gram is highly prestigious. Admitted students must maintain a 3.5 GPA as an undergraduate, and must have received a SAT score of 1275 or higher. Most students in this joint program graduate with both a bachelor's and a mas- ter's degree in as little as five years.
The Rawlings Undergraduate Leadership Fellows Program is offered through the school. To be admitted into the program, students must be nomi- nated by the university's faculty and staff, and go through a rigorous ap- plication process. Only 25 sophomores, juniors and seniors are accepted. Once in the program, students learn how to become leaders. The goal of the program is to help students develop the skills needed to become champions of those who go unnoticed in society. Students choose a specific policy issue to focus on in the program, and are mentored by elected officials and other community leaders. Students are taken to state and federal agencies as edu- cational trips, and are placed in an internship. The program is named after former Maryland Delegate Howard Peters "Pete" Rawlings.
Students in the School have an incredible geographic advantage— Uni- versity of Maryland's campus is mere miles away from Washington, D.C., the epicenter of politics in the United States. Public policy students often intern or work in Washington and a Metro station located just outside of campus delivers a direct route into the politically-minded city. The university lends a major advantage, also. The University of Maryland is a top-tier research university, lending extensive resources and research opportunities to public policy students.

The University of Maryland's Office of Undergraduate Studies offers a pletho- ra of central programming for the campus community. Almost every aspect of an undergraduate's career starts in this office, like CORE programming, orientation and the course catalog. The office's main purpose is to enhance the undergraduate experience.
Living-learning programs such as Beyond the Classroom, College Park Schol- ars, Global Communities and the Honors College stem from this office. All of these programs offer additional educational and personal development opportunities for university students, including service learning opportunities and internship experiences. Specialized undergraduate studies (Air Force ROTC, Army ROTC, Asian American Studies, Individual Studies, Federal Semester and Lesbian, Gay, J Bisexual and Transgender Studies) also come from this office.
Professors who wish to create an "I"-Series course, a new type of CORE class implemented in Spring 2010 to explore Issues, Imagination, Intellect, Inspiration and Innovation, propose their ideas through this office.
For undergraduates who look at CORE-required labs with anxiety and dread, the office created Marquee Courses, science classes made especially for non-sci- ence majors. Classes offered range from Weather and Climate to Pollinators in Crisis to Engineering in Modern Medicine: The Body as a Machine.
Low-income high-school students can register in the TRIO program, a feder- ally-sponsored program offered through the office. The program offers academic services, advising and mentoring to qualifying students. Another exceptional program offered is ACE, Achieving CoUege Excellence. Math students can enroll i in this program and receive a mentor to guide them from high school to coUege Students in ACE gain valuable connections to faculty and staff members. A months ly seminaj? is scheduled to learn about math opportunities, and students are re- quired to take a one-credit class on Math Confidence Building.
The Office of Undergraduate Studies also offers the University of Maryland Ombuds Services. An Ombuds officer. Ombudsman, or simply "Ombuds," is a per- son who can be consulted by members of the university community who want to get information about university policies relating to their activities or who encounter problems that they cannot resolve through ordinary channels. He re- solves any issues undergraduates have with the university. The ombudsman is knowledgeable about all aspects of the university (like policies and rules), and strives to resolve conflicts. When a student has a major complaint, he is able to refer them to the right faculty or staff member on the campus.

For students who wish to continue their education, the Graduate School at the University of Maryland offers a variety of programs spanning an array of aca- demic fields such as journalism, food science and government and politics. With an enrollment of nearly 11,000 students in over 200 degree programs, the Gradu- ate School grants 600 doctoral degrees and 2,200 masters degrees each year.
Graduate school differs from undergraduate life in the amount of course- work given and the style of classroom experience. Graduate students pursue an intense, research-based education, culminating with a final master's thesis or doctoral dissertation. While some students attend graduate school directly follow- ing their undergraduate years, others spend a few years working in their field and then return to their studies. Students remain at the university's Graduate School for anywhere from one to six years.
The School has strict admission standards. Applicants must have a 3.0 GPA or higher from their undergraduate education, and must have attended a four- year, accredited school. Students can apply to be either a degree-seeking graduate student or an advanced special student (non-degree), who takes graduate classes but does not work toward gaining a graduate degree. Advanced special students can apply later for admission to the graduate degree program. This program is of- fered to both national and international students.
The Graduate School offers free tuition (with mandatory fees) for retired Maj?yland resident graduate students 60 years and older through its Golden Iden- tification Card Program. The Golden ID students take graduate-level classes and have full access to campus facilities, like the library and gym. The senior citizen students register for classes during the first week that school is in session, and can take up to three classes per semester.
The university's graduate students can work as teaching assistants for un- dergraduate classes, assisting professors in classes or lectures related to their line of study. Graduate TAs are compensated and receive an office, where they hold office hours for inquiring undergraduate students.
With its variety of programs and opportunities, the university's Graduate School offers more than enough options to help graduate students reach their educational and professional goals.

For many, the North Campus Din- er was their first taste of Late Night on campus. Wings, mozzarella sticks and grill items like cheesesteaks and que- sadillas were among the many mid- night snacks offered. The Diner opened up a hot suh shop, and this year they opened a Korean barbeque station.
Most resident floors would find a way to travel to the Diner together dur- ing the first week of classes to bond. The large, round tables were not just a place to eat, but a place to meet with friends.
And who can forget the themed dinners for holidays like Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas? Lobster night was always a huge favorite and there has always been a high turnout for crab feast.
No matter what day of the week- through snowstorms and power out- ages—the Diner has always been avail- able to students, with familiar faces making their favorite sandwiches and ringing up their orders. Students, like senior communication major Jaison Cooper, have fond memories of the Din- er, its awesome throwback music and its staff. Cooper, who is now a resident assistant, still enjoys stopping by the Diner.
"It's kind of sad how people com- plain about the diner and the service there, but I've never really had a bad experience there," Cooper said. "I like

the food since I don't ever eat the same thing two meals in a row, and I was never afraid to try something new. As for the service, you get what you give. I've developed a friendship with one of the cashiers and it feels good to not just be 'another student' to her."
"I thought it was really funny, how once I went to the sandwich line and started a conversation with the lady. She was all laughs and smiles and when she finished my sandwich and asked for the next person in line, she was a completely different per- son. She was relatively mean to the next guy," Cooper added.
So, whether you were always in the red with your meal points or were always the person to buy your friend food because you had too many meal points, the Diner is a landmark loca- tion on campus.

Nestled between South Campus Commons, Lefrak Hall and Susque- hanna Hall sits the South Campus Dining Hall— home to some of the best food on campus, including student fa- vorites Seasons 12, a Mongolian bar- beque, and Jalapeho Grill, a Tex-Mex restaurant that serves burritos and tacos.
Who could forget the first time they walked into the South Campus Dining Hall and stood in line next to a basketball player who was grab- bing a quesadilla? And when the din- er would host D J and karaoke nights from WMUC every month, students always stuck around a little longer to watch the entertainment.
Students like senior English ma- jor Madeline Lareau found the South Campus Diner to be an enjoyable place to meet with friends and have a solid meal.
"I've been to South Campus Din- er several times with some of my younger friends who live on campus. The lines seem to move fairly expe- diently and I always enjoy the food— especially the quesadillas and salad bar, which offers so many options," Lareau said.
"I always enjoy eating at the din- er," she added. "The best memory I have is going there last winter when it was snowing. I had some soup and a cup of coffee and simply sat there talking with a couple friends to pass the time between classes. The diner just allows me to break away from my daily eating routine and go somewhere different."
Commons Shop, the convenience store located on the lower level of the dining hall, is open until 12:30 a.m. during the week for late-night snacks. For those living on South Campus, it is a quick stop for a drink or food when the dining hall is not open for Late Night. The wide array of items— more than that offered by the North Campus Shop— always comes in handy, espe- cially when your umbrella breaks dur- ing hurricane season.
Organizations and student groups like the Testing Center on campus. The Diamondback, The Terrapin, WMUC, the Help Center and MaryPIRG have their offices in the upper level of the dining hall.

Whether for swine flu or mono, most students have found themselves in the Health Center at some point dur- ing their time at the university. The Health Center offers a variety of servic- es, including clinical services and men- tal health services. The Health Center is located at the heart of campus on Campus Drive, directly across from the Stamp Student Union and only minutes away from McKeldin Mall.
The Health Center began offering their own insurance to students, but this is just one of many resources for students. In fact, groups like Sexual Assault Response and Prevention Pro- gram, or SARPP, and Sexual Health and Reproductive Education, or SHARE, are offered through the Health Cen- ter for students who are interested in educating and providing resources for their peers on sexual health.
Terp CHOICES (Choosing Healthy Options In the College Environment Safely), which is also offered through the Health Center, provides resources for students about high-risk situations in college, including alcohol use and drug use.
For many students who come to Maryland from other states, it is a gen- eral source of comfort to know that there is somewhere on campus they can stop by to get checked out or tested for a variety of illnesses.
Senior psychology major Rachel
Simon, an employee of the Help Cen- ter hotline service on campus, has found the Health Center to be a huge benefit to her experiences at the uni- versity.
"I've used many of their servic- es," Simon said. "Students find the free condom basket useful, as well as the resources each individual depart- ment is able to give out. And whenev- er I have had questions, I have been able to get brochures or pamphlets on the subject."
"The Help Center, which offers free and anonymous pregnancy test- ing, interacts with the Health Center and their lab in order to get the test results," she also said. "Generally, we found that the people there are very helpful, very knowledgeable and very quick."
"They give students opportuni- ties to gain experience by volunteer- ing there, which is nice. They are help- ful and it can be easy for students to get prescriptions filled at such a con- venient place," she added.

The Cambridge Commu- nity is home to the College Park Scholars Program, and is the only community locat- ed on North Campus to con- tain low-rise dorms. Bel Air Hall, Cambridge Hall and two air-conditioned dorms, Cent- reville Hall and Cumberland Hall, surround the Cambridge Community Center, which is also home to the North Cam- pus Snack 'n' Shop.
The shop, which is com- monly referred to as the "InCon" for its inconvenient operating schedule, is a cen- tral hub on campus that saves many students a trip to the grocery store. The shop has all kinds of snack food, frozen dinners, candies and drinks for students to use their Terp Bucks and Terrapin Express on. The shop is open late for students to grab a midnight snack or treats for a late- night study session.
"I liked having so many people around me. It was like living in a huge apartment with all of my friends," said senior psychology major Si- mone Saltzman, on living in Cumberland Hall her fresh- man year.
The Denton Community is home to Denton Hall, Eas- ton Hall and Elkton Hall— no- toriously dubbed as the essen- tial party dorms for freshmen on campus. Denton houses students in the Honors Living &? Learning Program, while Easton houses students in the Math Success Program. This community will also soon be home to Oakland Hall, which is set to open in fall 2011.
While this community is situated on the edge of cam- pus (by the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center) and far away from central cam- pus, students in the Denton community are in no way cut off from fun. Orange, green and purple UM shuttle buses all run by this community to transport students to Stamp Student Union and Route 1 attractions.
Mike Goldberg, a senior accounting and finance ma- jor, enjoyed the excitement of living in Easton during his freshman year.
"They replaced the exit signs because someone al- ways broke them... There was something always going on, whether it be someone throw- ing a refrigerator out the window or a party," Goldberg said.

EUicott Hall, Hagerstown Hall and La Plata Hall are all part of the EUicott Com- munity. Ellicott Hall, which houses the Gemstone Living Learning Center, overlooks Byrd Stadium and the North Campus Diner. Because La Plata is one of the few air-con- ditioned dorms on campus, it is competitive real estate for sophomore students looking to return to North Campus. In fact, the building faces La Pla- ta Beach, with Astroturf and beach volleyball for students searching for some fun in the sun. Whether it's volleyball, soccer, football or Frisbee, the beach is always abuzz with students. The Community also backs up to Eppley Rec- reation Center, another major hub located on North Campus.
But, living so close to ev- erything may have its down- falls.
"I think I gained a lot more weight living in LaPlata than [in] Cumberland be- cause it was right next to the Diner," senior journalism major Kate Raftery said. "My roommates and I just went down and got food whenever we were remotely hungry. Not such a good diet plan."
The Leonardtown Com- munity has an old and new section. New Leonardtown housed the EcoHouse Pro- gram, but both sections pro- vide on-campus apartments for students interested in re- siding a further distance from central campus. The Com- munity also has its own com- munity center, complete with the Leonardtown Shop that is open Sunday through Friday.
Leonardtown' s appeal is for students who want to get away from campus af- ter their freshman year. The apartments have their own kitchens and common rooms. While many students share their rooms with one to two roommates, there are singles available, too.
While students living in these apartments have more freedom than living on North or South Campus, there are still resident assistants avail- able to make sure that stu- dents are following the Resi- dent Life regulations.

The North Hill Commu- nity is home to nine dorms: Anne Arundel Hall (Honors Program), Caroline Hall, Car- roll Hall, Dorchester Hall (Jimenez-Porter Writer's House and Global Communi- ties programs), Queen Anne's Hall (Honors Living 8c Learn- ing Center), St. Mary's Hall (Language House), Somer- set Hall (CIVICUS Living &? Learning Center), Wicomico Hall (Honors Humanities Liv- ing &? Learning Center) and Worcester Hall.
Located by McKeldin Li- brary and the South Campus Dining Hall, this area of cam- pus is prime housing. Many students move here from North Campus during their sophomore year. However, many freshmen are placed here by Resident Life as well.

The South Hill Commu- nity is home to 14 dorms: Allegany Hall, Baltimore Hall, Calvert Hall, Cecil Hall, Charles Hall, Frederick Hall, Garrett Hall, Harford Hall, Howard Hall, Kent Hall, Montgomery Hall, Prince George's Hall, Talbot Hall and Washington Hall.
Senior jsLzz studies major Ricky Alexander remembers living in Garrett Hall during his sophomore year and re- ally enjoying it.
"We got a huge common room and we unscrewed the screws in the windows so we could bend it open and stick our heads out the roof. It was good," he said. "We had a bar- beque in there one time. We opened the window all the way and put on the fans as much as we could and we had a cookout out the window. It was insane ! "
He added, "We were liv- ing next to the some of the girls lacrosse players. We were leaving the apartment one night and we heard a ton of noise in the stairwell. When we walked into the stairwell, someone ran up to us and shoved her hand out and was like 'I JUST GOT EN- GAGED ! ' It was crazy— what a cr8Lzyyear."

South Campus Commons is the best housing the cam- pus has to offer. There are seven buildings with individ- ual bedrooms and bathrooms, full kitchens and common ar- eas. Not to mention, for those who like to peruse Route 1, Commons is within walking distance.
Commons 1 and 2 have both seen their fair-share of broken air-conditioning, and Commons 3 and 4 have had their fair-share of fire alarms in the wee hours of the morn- ing. Yet, students still find liv- ing in these apartments well worth the aforementioned problems.
Senior journalism major Kate Raftery, a resident of Commons 7, has enjoyed her experiences in the on-campus apartments, like many other students.
"Commons has been my favorite because you grow out of the dorms really quickly once you're past freshman year," she said. "I have my own room, my own bathroom and my own kitchen, and I can do essentially whatever I want."

While it isn't on-campus housing, a large portion of the university's students lives at the Courtyards. They have all kinds of amenities, like a gym and a pool, and students are connected to campus through the Courtyards Express shut- tle bus and the purple bus.
Senior psychology major Brittnie Batter, a resident of Courtyards, recalled one of her fondest Courtyard memo- ries from Snowpocalypse 2010.
"During the snowstorm last year, all of us at Court- yards were trying to dig our cars out of the snow that had piled up about 5 feet around them because the plows had pushed it all into the park- ing spaces," she said. "It was hilariously awful because some of us didn't even have real shovels, so we were us- ing things like ice scrapers or whatever we could find. It felt like a post-apocalyptic happy neighborhood or something totally surreal."

Of the university's seven on- campus libraries, McKeldin Library, located at the heart of campus on McKeldin Mall, is one of the busiest places on campus. Throughout the day, students enter the building to grab a cup of coffee at Footnotes Cafe, study on one of the building's many floors and conduct research for vari- ous papers and projects.
The library is home to the East Asia Collection, which has more than 90,000 books, periodicals and refer- ence materials in Chinese, Japanese and Korean. The library also has a collection of government publications through the U.S. Federal Depository Library Program.
Late Night Study on Sundays through Thursdays at the library is a haven for many students looking for a quiet change of scenery when study- ing for midterms and finals.
McKeldin's second floor received a transformation during the fall 2010 semester. The room with previously blank walls and desks was trans- formed into a lounge that was made to reflect a coffee shop. It is now
called the Terrapin Learning Com- mons. Computers and printers were also added, along with more outlets and warmer colors.
Libraries Dean Patricia Steele said in an interview with The Dia- mondback that similar changes will occur throughout the library. Steele also said she hopes the library will have more furniture replacements, more electronics and some television monitors for students to access free- ly.
"It's kind of a community center
in a way that has an academic focus," Steele said in The Diamondback in- terview.
Other libraries on campus in- clude: the Architecture Library, the Art Library, the Engineering and Physical Science Library, Hornbake Library, the Michelle Smith Perform- ing Arts Library and the White Me- morial Chemistry Library.
Hornbake, home to the Nonprint Media Services, houses more than 38,000 materials and Dial Access, which plays videos on a loop on the televisions in the library.

Beyond the Classroom (BTC) "engages talented and diverse undergraduates from across the university in a se- lective interdisciplinary liv- ing and learning community focused on civic engagement and social change in a global context," according to the pro- gram's website.
BTC aims to prepare stu- dents for professional life after college. Sophomore, junior and senior students in the program live in South Campus Com- mons 1 and are required to take three seminar courses and participate in an internship with locations such as AARP, the Smithsonian Institution, the Museum of African Art or A Wider Circle.
Each semester, BTC par- ticipates in community service and civic learning experienc- es at places like D.C. Central Kitchen, International Day of Climate Change, Lost Dog and Cat Rescue, Patuxent River Clean Up and the Polar Bear Plunge. A number of students in BTC have been able to study
abroad in countries such as Ghana, India, Israel, South Af- rica and the United Kingdom.
Additionally, documenta- ry film events are held for BTC every Monday evening, typi- cally followed by discussions. The documentary topics range anywhere from empowering women to international poli- tics. The program also hosts a Thursday afternoon series, which usually includes a guest speaker and in-depth discus- sions on topics like the oil cri- sis and energy conservation.
The program also hosts what is called Take an Activ- ist to Lunch, which allows students to have a meal with leading non-profit leaders to get firsthand advice and gain valuable insight into their lines of work. After the lunch, the speakers then address the BTC program as a whole to talk about their organization's mission.

CIVICUS is a two-year program that provides an academic citation based heav- ily on civil society including citizenship, leadership, com- munity building in a diverse society, scholarship and com- munity service-learning. There are 130 members in CIVICUS and not only do these students take courses together, but they also live together in Somerset Hall, which was renovated in 1999 to accommodate the program. Each member of CIVICUS participates in a minimum of four community service proj- ects each semester.
The program is through the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences (BSOS). There are 14 credits required for the program— two one-credit classes and four three-credit classes, which include a Cap- stone requirement. In the students' second year of CIVI- CUS, they take a leadership class that allows them to ap- ply first-year knowledge.
Following the leader- ship class, students enter the Capstone course. Not only are CIVICUS students able to learn more about certain service-based organizations or non-profit organizations, but they can actually apply what they have learned in the classroom to the field.

The College Park Schol- ars program is a two-year, interdisciplinary living-learn- ing program at the university that is split into 12 programs: Arts; Business, Society and the Economy; Environment, Technology and the Economy; Global Public Health, which started this year; Internation- al Studies; Life Sciences; Me- dia, Self and Society; Public Leadership; Science and Glob- al Change; Science, Diversity and the Universe; and Sci- ence, Technology and Society The Advocates for Children program, which is sponsored by the College of Education, is in its final year.
Students in the Scholars program get to move in early every year for the Scholars Service Day, where every freshman entering the pro- gram spends the day doing a community service project with other members in their program. Most scholars live in the Cambridge Community and each floor within those buildings is split up so that students live on the same floor as other students in their program.
Colloquium classes are held in the Cambridge Com- munity Center, which is located in the heart of the Cambridge Community. Each student within the scholars
program is required to have a Capstone experience af- ter taking three semesters' worth of colloquium courses.
"You had people who were in your classes living right down the hall, so you could work on homework to- gether and study. And, we were right near where Schol- ars stuff was," said hearing and speech sciences major Lauren Fischer.
Every spring. College Park Scholars hosts a softball tournament in which fresh- men and sophomores from each program create a team and compete against other programs. The winner of the tournament donates all of the proceeds to the organization of their choice.
The Scholars in New York trip is one of the best experiences students in the program have. Students are able to explore the city, go to a Broadway show and visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Each Scholars program participates in activities spe- cific to their program. In past years, groups like Advocates for Children have been able to visit Ellis Island, Internation- al Studies has been able to visit the United Nations and Media, Self and Society has visited NBC Studios.

During the spring 2010 semester, the university com- munity was surprised to hear buzz surrounding the Digi- tal Cultures and Creativity (DCC) Program in the Honors College. They had announced that 75 incoming freshmen and program participants would receive a brand new iPad through the Mobility Ini- tiative. DCC was launched in fall 2010 to provide "an inno- vative curriculum and learn- ing community" that com- bines art, imagination and global leadership with new technology, according to their website.
Students in the DCC pro- gram live in Queen Anne's Hall and complete 16 credits during the two-year program. Students in the program are also required to take pre- approved honors seminar courses. The courses cover the history of creative digital expression and developing new tools and applications. DCC is a product of the Arts and Humanities College, and students in the program learn about video production, digital art and online commu- nities.
The program also hosts various events throughout the semester, including a se- ries of "play dates" in which the group comes together and
discusses in-depth topics like digital storytelling and gam- ing. There are also field trips through PHEON! The first trip took place at the Smithsonian American Art Museum for the "...Largest Mission-Based Game Ever Designed through Its Luce Foundation Center," which allowed the students in the program to see their studies in a different environ- ment.

Created in 2010, the En- trepreneurship and Innova- tion Program (EIP) is headed by Jay Smith, a University of Maryland business school graduate and founder of a multi-million dollar company. This two-year program is run through the Maryland Technology Enterprise Insti- tute, and Smith is a lecturer through Mtech.
EIP caters to freshmen of various educational back- grounds with emphases on business and engineering. There are 10 credits required for this living-learning pro- gram.
Similar to the Hinman CEOs Program, EIP helps stu- dents develop "entrepreneur- ial mindsets, skill sets, and relationships to launch suc- cessful concepts in startup companies or corporate ven- tures," according to its web- site. Students are required to take various seminars and practicum that expand their knowledge of entrepreneur- ship.
Students in EIP live in La Plata Hall. Because the program is offered through the Honors College, some of their courses may cross with other honors students, which further enhances the multi- disciplinary learning that EIP provides.

FLEXUS is the Women in Engineering (WIE) living- learning program that began in 2007 for first-year engi- neering students interested in advancing gender diversity in the field.
The program is through the A. James Clark School of Engineering and requires par- ticipation in a one-credit sem- inar each semester. Students in WIE take mathematics, chemistry and introductory engineering design courses together, which is a great op- portunity to bond with fellow WIE members.
The WIE community is located on the fifth and sixth floors of Ellicott Hall.
The program initiative was initially supported by a $100,000 contribution from Marilyn Berman Pollans, former associate dean of the Clark School. Pollans hopes that the program will "help retain more female engineer- ing students."
"Women currently rep- resent only 17 percent of the undergraduate engineering student population at the Uni- versity of Maryland, which is the same as the national av- erage. Our goal is to beat the national average and to make Maryland the first choice for women who want to study engineering," added Paige
Smith, director of WIE.
WIE offers a series of workshops on how to obtain internships and writing re- sumes. The program also goes on social trips (e.g. bowling and pizza parties) to build friendships with fellow pro- gram participants. A mentor- ship is also available through WIE to provide positive role models and gain confidence in a career field that is often- times dominated by men.

The Gemstone program is a very selective four-year multidisciplinary research program run through the Honors College.
Dr. James Wallace, a mechanical engineering pro- fessor, runs the program. In order to receive the Gem- stone citation, students are required to take a rigorous course load that includes one or two seminars every semes- ter.
The program is 18 cred- its total, which is the equiva- lent of a minor. Students in the program are split into teams of eight to 14 people and complete a team project at the end of the program. A thesis is also required for Gemstone.
New Gemstone students are invited to attend Gems Camp, an overnight retreat in late August. This allows the students to get to know the people that they will be work- ing with for the next four years. On the first day, camp- ers spend time getting to know each other and on the second day, they participate in a team service project.
Gemstone also has many other extracurricular activi- ties, and holds its very own formal every winter in the Stamp Student Union.

Global Communities is a two-year, living-learning pro- gram run through the Inter- national House in Dorchester HaJl for students to develop an understanding of global is- sues. The International House started in 1992 and Global Communities began in 2001. Global Communities wel- comed its first group of stu- dents in 2002. The Interna- tional House "had as its main goals promoting understand- ing, cooperation, and friend- ship between international and domestic students at the university," according to their website.
Of the 168 residents in Dorchester Hall, approxi- mately 100 are in Global Com- munities. The program brings together students from more than 30 different cultural backgrounds— including 12- 15 exchange students each semester— to create an inter- national community
Participants are required to take at least 10 credit hours of coursework.
Global Communities en- courages cross-cultural un- derstandings. According to the program's website, Global Communities "provides a fun and comfortable environment where students can satisfy their curiosity for the world and its cultures, while at the
same time offering unique academic opportunities to fos- ter the development of essen- tial global competency skills."
The director of Global Communities, Kevin McClure, teaches many of the courses within the program, including Culture and Cultural Differ- ences, Workshops on Global Issues, Global Communities Capstone, and Education and the Islamism— Secularism De- bate. The hands-on learning experiences of the students within the program and the staff running the program allow students to explore boundaries of global issues to their fullest potentials.
Among the program's missions and goals. Global Communities aims to culti- vate a forum for students to develop communication strat- egies across cultural and lin- guistic boundaries.

Hinman CEOs, the na- tion's first living-learning entrepreneurship program, is run through the Maryland Technology Enterprise Insti- tute. It allows students to live together, learn about entre- preneurship and launch new ventures.
Hinman CEOs is named after Brian Hinman, an alum- nus of the A. James Clark School of Engineering, and successful entrepreneur who donated $2.5 million to create and support the pro- gram. Students in the pro- gram live with their teams in South Campus Commons 2 and work together to enter their entrepreneurial ven- tures in the annual Univer- sity of Maryland $50K Busi- ness Plan Competition every spring.
There are 90 students in the program and the history of the program shows that 25 percent of students develop and launch companies as un- dergraduates, according to the Hinman CEOs website. Students in the program are encouraged to seek intern- ships through their line of study as well. The students in the program have the op- portunity to work with the program director and execu- tives-in-residence just down the hall.

Honor Humanities, of- fered through the Honors College, is a program for stu- dents of all majors and back- grounds who have an interest in creative arts and humani- ties. Students in the program live in Wicomico Hall and are challenged by a rigorous cur- riculum comprised of "inno- vative courses" and "themat- ic programming that takes learning beyond the class- room walls," according to the website.
The program was cre- ated in 1996 by Dr Phyllis Peres and has since been recognized nationally as a leading program in under- graduate humanities studies. Honors Humanities offers op- portunities for its students to hear distinguished guest lec- turers and participate in ex- tracurricular events and cul- tural outings around campus and downtown in Washington, D.C.
Diversity is the main building block of the pro- gram and during the last five years, according to the pro- gram's website, students in Honors Humanities have won the Marshall, Mitchell and other nationai scholarships, a University Medal, a Pulitzer Prize and acclaim for a new play on Broadway.
Starting this fall, the pro-
gram will require students to complete 16 credits— 10 credits through Honors Hu- manities (HHUM) and sik credits of seminars in the humanities, which also count for CORE credit. Previously the program required seven credits of Honors Humanities courses (ARHU/HHUM) and nine credits of seminar cours- es. The Keystone Project com- plements students' interests and coursework by requiring a departmental honors thesis.
Honors Humanities hosted the lecture series Hu- man Rights in the Global Age, which included forward- thinking lectures, trips, sym- posia, film screenings and special guests to discuss hu- man rights in the global age and how it influences the various aspects of humani- ties. The yearlong program culminates with the 4th An- nual Honors Humanities Un- dergraduate Research Sym- posium, which will allow an open discussion about critical issues that affect humanity.

The Jimenez-Porter Writers' House is a campus- wide literary program for creative writing. It consists of 50-60 undergraduate stu- dents that enjoy writing sto- ries, poems and plays.
The Jimenez-Porter Writers' House is a two-year living-learning program that allows hands-on experience for upperclassmen at the uni- versity, though the program does occasionally consider extremely talented freshmen. During their first year in the program, participants are required to take three ARHU courses and a supporting three-credit class, produce a writing portfolio and serve on at least one committee.
During their second year, students in the Writers' House must take two ARHU courses, produce a culminat- ing Chapbook to display at Litfest and serve on a com- mittee to receive a notation.
Students have the oppor- tunity to be published in Sty- lus, a literary art journal that compiles student work. Other activities include Writers' Here and Now events, where authors come to read their work, and TerPoets, an open mic event that is held once a week.

The Language House was created in 1989 as the first hving-learning program at the university. The program is open to second semester freshmen and older students who opt for "daily language and cultural immersion in an organized study environ- ment," according to the web- site. The Language House provides an international community atmosphere with clusters in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Persian, Russian and Spanish.
To live in the Language House, students are required to take three to six credits each semester in a language, attend weekly cluster meet- ings and attend annual house activities like the House As- sembly, Around the World Dinner and Maryland Day events. They must also attend Language House club meet- ings to facilitate inter-cluster communication.
The program is run out of St. Mary's Hall.
The Language House also has a strong alumni com- munity. Alumni experiences provide guidance to current program participants as well as serve as a testament to the quality of opportunities the Language House students ex- perience.
University Honors is one of the living-learning pro- grams through the Honors College (others are Digital Cultures and Creativity, En- trepreneurship and Innova- tion, Gemstone and Honors Humanities). The program has approximately 500-600 students. Students remain in the University Honors pro- gram for their entire four years at the university, but most complete an Honors Citation during their junior year.
In order to earn the cita- tion on their transcript, stu- dents in University Honors must complete 16 credits in Honors classes, nine of which must be Honors seminars.
Honors seminars focus on three areas: Contempo- rary Issues and Challenges, Arts and Sciences in Today's World and Using the World as a Classroom. More than 130 of these seminars are offered each year, and class sizes are kept small, allowing for more hands-on discussion
Students can chose be- tween Honors courses and H-version courses, which are Honors versions of regular courses at the university
Students in this program live in Denton or Anne Arun- del Hall. The program is head- ed by Dr. William Dorland.

Route 1 is a major national high- way that runs along the East Coast from Maine to Florida. But to the students at this university, Route 1 takes on a whole new meaning. From post-game riots to celebrity sightings, the highway has seen national news. Route 1 provides a divide between on-campus residence halls and off- campus parties. And, when students need a break from campus life, many head down to the establishments on Route 1.
The College Park Shopping Cen- ter has restaurants like Applebee's, Boston Market, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Cold Stone Creamery, Jason's Deli, Noodles &? Company and Star- bucks. Yogiberry became a quick fa- vorite when it opened last year. Oth- er favorites include Ratsie's Pizzeria and the recently opened Vito's Pizze- ria and Street Tacos.
With the recent closings of bars like the Mark, Santa Fe Cafe and Thirsty Turtle, students have flood- ed the two remaining bars on Route 1: Cornerstone Grill and Loft and RJ Bentley's.
Students looking for quick sup- plies and outfits frequent CVS and Rugged Wearhouse on Route 1. Whether it is for a costume party or job interview. Rugged provides all sorts of last-minute clothing options.

The Department of Transporta- tion Services at the university offers students a variety of modes of trans- portation. From on-campus parking to the Shuttle-UM buses, students have many ways to get around.
And, by the end of their four years at this university, many stu- dents will have incurred one of those yellow envelopes with a $75 ticket slid inside. Those who park on cam- pus won't forget having to move their cars every week for basketball and football games— and then having to move them back just hours later.
While DOTS' buses were once at the center of controversy with their cleaning policies, every student who has ever lived on North Campus re- members how grateful they were for the orange, purple, silver and green bus (or whichever bus got to the Montgomery Hall stop first after rev- eling on Route 1 on a Friday night). The university also has its own coach buses with the university insignia across the side for traveling athletes and student groups lucky enough to travel in them. They even have Wi- Fi!
Many students also bike around campus. Bikers can register their bikes through DOTS, which allows for free lock cutting and a greener com- mute around campus. There are bike racks located outside of every build-
ing on campus, which allow students the chance to ride to class, but also keep the bike near their residence hall when needed.
Another form of transporta- tion that has swarmed campus the last couple of years is motor scoot- ers. Scooters are all over campus and are oftentimes used by athletes. Nearly 300 scooters are registered with DOTS, which requires registra- tion and a permit sticker displayed on the scooter's handlebar stem. This form of transportation, however, has been pelted with criticism over the last year in relation to scooter safety. Nonetheless, scooters remain one of the most popular forms of transpor- tation on the campus.

Entering the world of Greek life at the University of Maryland is an extraor- dinarily rewarding experience for many students. The lifelong commitment offered by fraternity and sorority membership is one that solidifies a bond of friendship, which far surpasses the quick blur of the college journey. Pro- viding a sense of stability in a volatile world, the life of Greeks illustrates an opportunity to expand leadership skills, strive for academic excellence, become involved with the community and engage in an atmosphere of social events and connections.
SORORITY RUSH:
a process heavily dependent on the time of year
FALL RECRUITMENT
1. Advertisement: The end of summer break marks the kick-off of Fall Rush as Greeks start advertising their chapters immediately. The infamous chalk- ing technique paints the campus with Greek letters, enticing potential new members to engage in the rush process. Fliers, candy, pens and more are distributed on campus and throughout the dorms to ignite the Greek flame within new students. During the "Meet the Greeks" fair on McKeldin Mall, potential new members engage with members of each chapter and receive a bit more insight regarding the essence of each chapter.
S. Sister Meet and Greet: The informality of fall rush appeals to those who find the rigid structure of spring recruitment to be a bit intimidating. The circus of "Open Houses" held by each sorority enables potential new mem- bers to meet the women of each sorority and tour each chapter at one's lei- sure. This freedom to choose which house to surveil allows each chapter to

fully grasp which potential new members are interested.
3. Bids: Since fall rush is significantly less formal than spring recruitment, sorority chapters are al- lowed to stream bids to new members whenever they deem it necessary How- ever, bids are not endless, since chapter maximum is set at quota of 95 mem- bers. Bids are dispersed to as many women as desired without exceeding the quota.
4. Bid Day: Bid Day is a joyous occasion. Upon entering the chapter house, new members are greeted by future sisters as they sign and accept bids.
5. New Member Period: The moment a new member signs her bid, she em- barks on a several week journey where she learns the secrets, traditions and meaning of her chapter's rituals and is embraced by fellow new members.
6. Initiation: Once the several weeks of new member period have been com- pleted and they fully grasp the meaning of sisterhood and the core meaning of the chapter's foundation, new members are officially initiated into the so- rority Initiation is a covert and sacred ceremony peppered with symbolism and traditions dating back to the chapter's creation.
SPRING RECRUITMENT
1. Sign Up: The intense formality of spring recruitment requires potential new members to register for rush process on the university's Panhellenic Association website.
8. Group Introduction: Spring recruitment attracts a wider range of poten- tial new members. Upon registration, rushes are divided into "Rho Gamma Groups" on the first day of this formal recruitment. Since the process is lengthy and intricate, chosen women in Greek life dubbed Rho Gammas lead each group, providing guidance and ameliorating any confusion or obstacles that arise throughout the rush process.
149
3. Chapter Meet and Greet: Instead of choosing a select few, mirroring the fall process, Rho Gamma groups in the spring are required to survey all 14 Pan-Hellenic recognized sororities that the university has to offer. Although this is a vastly rigid structure and provides little freedom of leisure like fall rush, it does illuminate new possibilities and connections with chapters that could go unrecognized in the fall.
4. Tighten the Focus: After a day of interacting with each chapter, the selec- tion process begins. Potential new members meet with their Rho Gamma to categorize their top 10 chapters in descending order of desirability. This is a mutual selection process and they will only return to their desired chapters who felt a mutual connection and chose them as well. This process is con- tinued, with the next stage requiring a list comprised of their preferred six chapters and then three. Finally, at the commencement of the rush journey, potential new members strip their lists and reveal their No. 1 chapter with which they desire to affiliate themselves.
5. Bids: The mutual selection process ensures a potential new member will receive a bid from one of the top three chapters she has selected.
6. Bid Day: Bids are collected at Stamp Student Union, where new members are informed of their future chapter affiliations. Bid day is a day saturated with joy and excitement as new members meet at the chapel, receive their respected bid day shirts and partake in the traditional "r\in" from the chapel to their new chapter house. Their new sisters greet them with a flood of signs and chants that represent their chapter's spirit and pride.
7. NEW MEMBER PERIOD and INITIATION in the spring is a replica of those held in the fall.
FRATERNITY RUSH
** /
There are few parallels when comparing rushing a fraternity to the sorority recruitment process. For instance, the fraternity rush is unfazed by the sea- sonal changes, as spring rush mirrors that of the fall. Also, fraternity rush is stripped of any formality, freeing the men of fraternities from trivial restric- tions and enabling a free world to choose events they deem best for connect- ing with future brothers.
1. Social Events: The beginning of each semester is defined as "Rush Week," signifying the beginning of fraternity rush that not only men reap the ben- ISO
efits. Several social events including house parties and "grab-a-dates" com- prise the essence of fraternity rush as they entice potential new members to join with the hope and promise of this fun and exciting lifestyle in the near future. Parties welcome all to join, promoting and advertising each chapter and creating an opportunity for the brothers to socialize in a re- laxed atmosphere with potential new members.
Z, Brotherhood Events: Fraternities host Brotherhood Events to facili- tate an environment of "bromance," where potential new members are familiarized with different aspects of the fraternity and meet the broth- ers on a more personal level, away from the distractions presented during social events held at night. These brotherhood events include dinners at the house, dinners at restaurants peppering the Route 1 area and sporting events, such as basketball games. The brothers host "Invite Only" events, usually grab-a-dates, for select potential new members, illustrating the se- lection process has begun.
3. Bids: After assessing who has shown interest in their chapter and evalu- ating which members would be assets to the brotherhood, the men of each fraternity extend bids to those new members.
4. New Member Period and Initiation: Similar to sororities, fraterni- ties' new member period spans the length of a few weeks, educating new members about the essence of the chapter, its history and members of the brotherhood. Upon completion, members are initiated into the brotherhood with a sacred ceremony inumdated with the chapter's history, traditions and covert rituals.

I got here. I fell in love with it. As an RA. I get
to meet new and different kinds of people, and
everyone I meet I enjoy hanging out with and
getting to know. I think that says something
about the university!' ~ John Grapes, finance major

Just before school began, the 2008 Oljmipic Games in Beijing, Chi- na, ended, with superstars like Mi- chael Phelps in swimming and Usain Bolt in track-and-field making head- lines for their extraordinary perfor- mances. As students moved into their apartments and dorm rooms, presi- dential candidate and Sen, John Mc- Cain named Sarah Palin as his run- ning mate.
Palin was not the only surprise of the new academic year-students returned to find that DOTS added the Silver Line to its nighttime bus ser- vice, and CRS got rid of fees for group exercise classes. In other news, on Sept. 22, the state announced a $12 million cut from the university bud- get.
On the other side of the world, a political crisis in Thailand forced Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej to resign from his position Oct. 2. Fi- nancial crisis was the topic of Octo- ber in the United States and around the world, after President George W. Bush signed the Emergency Econom- ic Stabilization Act on Oct. 3. This act would provide failing banks with a $700 billion bailout plan. The uni- versity also lost almost $63 million in endowments this year. While na- tions all over the world were affected by this crisis, they managed to band
together through science when the Large Hadron Collider, a collabora- tion of more than 10,000 scientists and engineers from more than 100 countries, was officially inaugurated Oct. 21. Students managed to keep spirits up at the annual Homecoming Comedy Show where comedian Lew- is Black made the night a memorable one.
November brought hope and change to the American people as Sen. Barack Obama made history when he was elected as the first Afri- can-American president of the Unit- ed States. In world news, terrorist attacks killed almost 200 people in Mumbai, India, and religious unrest in Jos, Nigeria, resulted in four days of rioting and nearly 400 casualties. Back at home, the university initiated more efforts to go green when DOTS ordered four hybrid buses to haul stu- dents throughout the campus.
As students geared up for ex- ams and winter break, Lupe Fiasco performed in the Ritchie Coliseum on Dec. 5. The moon made the news Dec. 12 when it moved to its closest point to earth at the fullest phase of its cycle, making it appear 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than any other full moon. Also, a "leap sec- ond," which means an extra second, was added in the last minute of 2008

Spain's victory in the World Cup and Chelsea Chnton's wedding domi- nated news stories over the summer, but by the time students returned to school, the repeal of Proposition 8 in California, Ground Zero mosque debates and a bed bug outbreak had taken over newsstands. For students, the new school year meant a new uni- versity president; it was announced Aug. 17 that Wallace Loh would re- place President Dan Mote beginning in November.
The fall semester began with startling news of a hostage situation at the Discovery Channel headquar- ters in Silver Spring, where many Maryland students and alumni work. On Sept. 14, a U.S. hiker was released from Iran after being detained for 13 months under spying allegations.
A mining disaster was avoided in Chile in October, when 300 miners were rescued Oct. 13, after surviv- ing a record of more than five weeks underground. Comedians Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart also hosted the "Rally to Restore Sanity And/Or Fear" on the National Mall to mock some of the ongoing political tension. Students flocked to the rally just as they had flocked to Cole Field House on Oct. 11 to watch comedian Demetri Martin perform at the Homecoming Comedy Snow.
November was a month full of political stories. Republicans won control of the House during midterm elections Nov. 4, and former President George W. Bush released his book, De- cision Points, on Dec. 9. WikiLeaks re- leased confidential American files to the public later in the month, causing uproar in the political atmosphere. At the international level. North Korea bombed South Korea, causing ten- sions to reach a new high. On a light- er note. Prince William announced his engagement to Kate Middleton on Nov. 16, sparking anticipation and excitement around the world. In Col- lege Park, students mourned the loss of the short-lived bar, the Thirsty Turtle, which closed after an inspec- tion following a stabbing outside the bar.
In December, the university un- expectedly bought out football head coach Ralph Friedgen's contract for $2 million and replaced him with Connecticut football coach Randy Ed- sall. The nation mourned the death of Elizabeth Edwards, the former wife of Sen. John Edwards, on Dec. 7 af- ter her long battle with breast can- cer.

The Terrapin baseball team is looking at 2011 as one of the first building blocks in what second-year coach Erik Bakich hopes will be a transition from AGO afterthoughts to national contender.
With the arrival of the nation's No. 25 recruiting class and revamped facilities, the Terps will look to im- prove on their ugly 2010 campaign (17-39, 5-25 AGO) and begin ascend- ing the conference ladder. The 22 newcomers will have to mesh with the Terps' returning contributors, such as shortstop Alfredo Rodriguez or pitcher/utility player Gary Sch- neider, if the team hopes to succeed this season.
The Terps will open their season with a four-game tilt at juggernaut Texas, a stretch of games that should serve as a good tune-up for the team before their grueling AGG schedule begins.
The team' s pitching staff will like- ly need an influx of young talent as it tries to recover from the loss of pitch- ers Dan Gentzler and Adam Kolarek to Major League Baseball. Freshman Tyler Vail, who was drafted in the fifth round of last year's MLB draft, should be one of those looked at to firm up the pitching staff, which has been unable to compete at an AGG- level over the past several years.
With Bakich's attitude and in-

flux of talent, however, one thing is for sure: The Terps are back. It may take awhile, but the program is back on the road to prominence, both with- in the conference and on the national spectrum.

So, if the Terps can harness some mo- mentum as they discover their iden- tity, all signs point to them once again returning to the tournament bubble and sneaking into the Big Dance in typical Terp fashion.

Coach Brenda Frese has grown accustomed to success. In her eight full seasons on the bench for the Ter- rapin women's basketball team, she has taken the Terps to the NCAA Tournament all but two times and took home a national championship in 2006.
So last season's teeter-totter, mediocre season that sent the Terps to the WNIT rather than the Big Dance did not sit well with the vet- eran coach. The Terps suffered tough losses to Georgia Tech, Virginia and Boston College to place added pres- sure on the ACC Tournament, where the Terps would top North Carolina before faltering against top-seeded Duke.
This led to Frese making whole- sale changes. Despite losing just one senior— shooting guard Lori Bjork— to graduation, Frese set out to trans- form her Terps into an entirely new team. To do this, Frese brought in former University of Texas condi- tioning coach Kyle Tarp to mold her Terps into an up-tempo, physically fit group of players. Some returning Terps, such as center Lynetta Kizer and guard Anjale Barrett, are now hardly recognizable.
That physical transformation was augmented by the arrival of the No. 2 recruiting class in the nation. Alyssa Thomas, Natasha Cloud, Lau- rin Mincy and Alicia DeVaughn have all contributed throughout the Terps' hot 13-3 start to the new season, a stretch that included wins over No. 17 St. John's, Purdue and St. Joseph's.
The Terps drew the short straw when it comes to ACC scheduling, starting their slate against No. 3 Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, N.C. Led by Thomas, guard Kim Rodgers and forward Diandra Tchatchouang, the Terps led the Blue Devils for much of the game and ap- peared primed for an upset victory that would again establish the squad amongst the nation's elite. Unfortu- nately for the Terps, the Blue Devils came roaring back in the final three minutes behind All-American guard Jasmine Thomas to take the victory, 71-64.
Even after a surprising loss to Boston College at Comcast Center in the Terps' second conference game, though, the team certainly appears capable of challenging for an ACC ti- tle and making noise in the Big Dance in March. They have squared off with some of the nation's top teams already (Duke, Georgetown, St. John's), and their lauded freshman class will only improve as the conference slate con- tinues. It's fair to say that, at this point in the season, it seems that Frese has once again turned her squad into a contender.

The University of Maryland be- came known for its prowess in wom- en's sports under the guidance of former athletic director Debbie Yow. Perhaps the most dominant of these women's sports, though, is one that you hear little about. 2010 saw the Terrapin competitive cheer team continue to dominate the sport, win- ning their fourth national title in the past five years last April in Da3^ona Beach, Fla.
One of the nation's few competi- tive cheer programs that offers any scholarships, the Terps have had lit- tle trouble maintaining their dynasty Again ranked No. 1 in the country in 2011 after their impressive national title run last spring, the Terps have not been a let-down, avoiding an up- set at the hands of No. 4 Baylor with a comeback in the final two heats of the meet to start their title defense at 2-0 before an extended break until early February.
The Terps will get back to work in February, where they will have to deal with Baylor and Quinnipiac for the second time in addition to deal- ing with the sport's other three com- petitors in Oregon, Azusa Pacific and Fairmont St., before they will arrive in Eugene, Ore., on April 7 to once again compete for the national cham- pionship.

The Terrapin men's and wom- en's cross-country programs, just as they did in 2009, followed remark- ably similar paths in their 2010 sea- sons. After up-and-down regular sea- sons, in which they each finished as high as 14th as a team in large meets (each at the Penn State National at State College, Pa.), the Terp men would run to an eighth-place finish in the AGO Championships in Boston, while the women finished in 10th.
The men were once again led by standout Greg Kelsey, whose ef- forts landed him a spot in the NCAA Nationals in Terre Haute, Ind. Af- ter earning All-AGG status with an eighth-place individual effort at Bos- ton's AGG Championships on Oct. 30, Kelsey went on to again finish eighth in the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional to become the only Terp to earn the right to run in the NCAA Nationals, where he finished in the top-half with a 103rd place overall finish.
Led by junior Ashley Gromartie, the women Terps would go on to the NCAA Mid- Atlantic Regionals with an outside hope of qualifying for the na- tional championships. Unfortunately, Gromartie led the Terps with a 38th- place finish, which was not enough for any Terps to continue their season.
Led by coach Andrew Valmon, the Terps will look for improvement as they approach the 2011 season next fall.

The memory of 2009's Nation- al Championship loss to rival North Carolina was fresh in the minds of the members of the Terrapin field hockey team all season. The 3-2 heartbreak- er last season spoiled the Terps' oth- erwise blemish-free campaign, and this season they set out to finish what they started last year.
They didn't disappoint. With a thrilling 3-2, double-overtime vic- tory over the Tar Heels on Nov. 21, the Terps claimed the NCAA champi- onship and completed an impressive season in which they lost only once and held the national-ranking of No. 1 for much of the campaign.
Led by two-time National Play- er of the Year Katie O'Donnell and fellow Ail-Americans Megan Frazer (1st Team), Jill Witmer (2nd Team) and Jemma Buckley (3rd Team), the Terps sailed through much of their season, with their only loss coming at the hands of No. 4 Princeton on Sept. 28.
After topping the Tar Heels in the ACC Championship game, the Terps moved on to the NCAA Tournament. They would roll past Massachusetts, Connecticut and Ohio St. to set up the rematch of last season's NCAA Cham- pionship game with the Tar Heels.
This time, the Terps reversed the score, coming out on top after a double-overtime battle with Frazer's heroic goal.

While the Terps will have to deal with replacing O'Donnell, their re- turning roster is more than capable of not only dealing with O'Donnell's loss, but also competing once again for a national championship.

But with O'Brien's emergence and the return of Meggett, Tate and a slew of other contributors, the program once again appears on the rise after a mis- erable 2009 campaign.

The Terrapin men's golf team appears to t>e building from their me- diocre spring season last year, which was highlighted by a third-place fin- ish in March in Williamsburg, Va., as they enter this year's spring sea- son. The Terps entered their fall sea- son determined to improve, and, as a whole, they did.
Tom Hanna III, Stephen Bos- dosh and Sean Brannan led the team to three top-six tournament finishes, the most notable coming in the Wolf- pack Invitational. In Raleigh, N.C., junior John Popeck tied for fifth- place individually to lead the Terps to a fourth-place finish in the 17 team tournament. As the Terps continue to mesh their veterans with incomers, they hope the team can mold togeth- er into a competitor both this spring season and beyond.
The Terrapin women's golf team has enjoyed far more success of late than their male counterparts. Led by AIl-ACC performers Christine Shimel and Jessica HoUandsworth, the Terps cruised through their spring sched- ule and qualified for the NCAA West Regional Tournament. They head- ed to Stanford, Calif., in May for the competition, where the team finished in 18th place out of 24 teams. They did not qualif7 for the National Tour- nament.
The Terps will look to continue on their winning ways.

The 2009-2010 season appeared primed to be a banner year for the Terrapin g5minastics program as a national title did not seem out of the realm of possibilities. However, a string of injuries led the Terps to sput- ter to the end of their season. A No. 2 seed at the EAGL championships yielded a sixth-place finish, and the season would eventually end in a bit- terly disappointing last-place show- ing at the NCAA Southeast Regional Championship.
After graduating six seniors from last year's squad, though, it seems that coach Brett Nelligan will look to his lauded recruiting class to help the Terps move forward from last season's disappointments to take an- other step forward in the program's progression. Nelligan brought in two former high school national cham- pions - Karen Tang and Elizabethe Manzi - in what could easily be the program's best-ever freshman class.
But they will have to learn fast. While the Terps do return the reign- ing EAGL All-Around Champion in Abigail Adams and last season's EAGL Rookie of the Year Kelsey Cofsky, the Terps will have a tough road in front of them in the strong EAGL. In their first match-up of 2011, the Terps fell at Kent State, 194.775-195.125. De- spite the loss, though, the Terps put forth a good showing, as their score was the highest score they had seen
in a season-opener since 2000. Ad- ams and freshman Katy Dodds led the way with scores of 9.8 on the bars.
The Terps will be busy with 21 meets before the EAGL champion- ships and eventually the NCAA Tour- nament, so there will be plenty of time to improve.

It's a time of change for the Ter- rapin men's lacrosse team. A national powerhouse that has been devoid of a national championship since 1975, the Terps decided to make a change after last season's disappointments and did away with head coach Dave Cottle.
After droppingjust three regular season games last season— two to Vir- ginia and one to North Carolina— the Terps were unable to live up to their potential in the postseason, losing in the quarterfinals to underdog Notre Dame. Incoming coach John Tillman will hope to do what Cottle couldn't: win on the national scale.
With a grueling schedule that includes Georgetown, Johns Hopkins and Navy on top of the team's ACC opponents— Duke, Virginia and North Carolina— the Terps will have plenty of experience against the nation's top dogs by tournament time.
Senior attackman Grant Catali- no, a 1st team preseason All-Ameri- can, will lead the charge for the Terps as they hope to avenge last season's quarterfinal upset to Notre Dame in the National Tournament. Catalino was one of six Terps recognized with the preseason honor of Ail-Ameri- can; seniors Brett Schmidt and Ryan Young also earned nods, while John Haus, Max Schmidt and Brian Far- rell all enter the season as honorable
292
mentions.
The biggest question mark for the Terps heading into the season ap- pears to be at goalie, where no clear starter has emerged from a group of four netminders. If the Terps can harness the energy of a new coach in Tillman, who arrives after three successful seasons on the bench at Harvard, this year's team appears to have the talent to bring the program back to heights that it hasn't been to in decades. Then again, this season could very well also be a bridge year as the program acclimates itself to a new coaching system while trying to rebuild after losing several pieces of last season's storied attack to gradu- ation. For this year's Terps, it's any- one's guess how high they can climb.

If you ask coach Cathy Reese and the Terrapin women's lacrosse team what their plans are this sea- son, there's little doubt as to what the universal answer would be. "Win, and win often."
As the Terps look to match last season's national championship run, they'll look to senior co-captains Sar- ah Mollison, Katie Gallagher and Lau- ra Merrifield to replace the leader- ship lost by the graduation of national player of the year Caitlyn McFadden. The Terps will have to navigate a crip- pling schedule, as usual, if they hope to return to the limelight this season for the 12th national title.
Attacker Karri Ellen Johnson, the preseason player of the year, will likely be looked upon to take on much of the weight that had rested on Mc- Fadden's shoulders over the past four seasons. The Annapolis native and her teammates must be prepared to do battle this season, however, as their position atop the lacrosse world places a target securely on their jer- seys, not to mention the fact that their schedule includes seven of the nine teams that join the Terps in the pre- season top- 10 (most notably AGO foes North Garolina and Duke, No. 3 and No. 4, respectively). Missing from the schedule, though, is No. 2 Northwest- ern, whom the Terps stunned in last year's national championship game with a fantastic comeback. Rematch, perhaps?

It all begins and ends with pitch- ing, and the Terrapin women's soft- ball team has plenty of it.
With the return of aces Ker- ry Hickey and Kendra Knight, the Terps appear primed to charge back into the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive season after a second-round loss in last season's tournament. After a solid season, the Terps earned the right to host a re- gional of the NCAA Tournament, but after topping Syracuse, 4-1, they fell to Fordham in an elimination game and were unable to make it out of Col- lege Park and farther in the national tournament.
The Terps graduated a slew of seniors, but will likely miss the bat of Alex Schultz in the middle of the lineup. However, a strong freshman class should help coach Laura Witten improve on last year's successes and help transform the Terps into an ACC power.
Freshman outfielder Candace Beards should help spark the Terps' offense. Beards arrives in College Park having earned All- America hon- ors at Paramus Catholic High School in New Jersey, and appears to have a unique combination of offense, de- fense and speed.
The Terps' schedule is highlight- ed by 12 opponents who were part of last season's 64-team NCAA Tourna-
ment field, which will give the Terps experience heading into what they hope will be a deeper run into the na- tional tourney as the team continues to shape itself into a contender.

Coach Sasho Cirovski and the Terrapin men's soccer program have grown accustomed to winning. In fact, it seems that they've come to expect it. With two national champi- onships under their belts since 2002, the Terps appeared primed for anoth- er exciting postseason after finishing the regular season ranked No. 3 in the country with a 14-2-1 record.
After getting off to a rough start with their season opening loss at Ludwig Field to Michigan State, who staved off a Terp comeback en route to a 4-3 overtime victory, the Terps lost just one more regular season game (on Sept. 24 to No. 3 North Car- olina). With wins over No. 2 Connecti- cut, No. 9 Duke and No. 11 Virginia in the second half of the regular season, it seemed that Cirovski and the Terps were well on their way to another ap- pearance in the College Cup after fal- tering in the Elite Eight last season.
Those hopes were only reaf- firmed after an upset victory over the top-seeded Tar Heels in the ACC Championship game in Cary, N.C., on Nov. 14. All- American goalkeeper Zac MacMath put the Terps on his back after fellow All- American Matt Kas- sel buried an early penalty kick, mak- ing six saves en route to his program- record 13th shutout of the season.
The Terps entered the NCAA Tournament as the No. 1 seed in their bracket, ensuring that every
196
tilt before the College Cup (which was held in Santa Barbara, Calif.) would be held within the confines of Ludwig Field. And all appeared to be going as planned, as the Terps got past Penn and Penn St. to reach their third con- secutive Elite Eight. Unfortunately for the Terps, a late Michigan goal el- evated the Wolverines to the College Cup with a 3-2 victory in a heart- breaking loss for one of the nation's most storied programs.
The Terps will now need to reload if they hope to msike another run at a title next fall. With the graduation of key contributors Jason Herrick, Doug Rodkey and Billy Cortes, as well as the likely loss of MacMath to the MLS (as well as defender Ethan White, who alreadyjoined D.C. United), next year will showcase a vastly different group of Terps than did this season. However, with a slew of returning starters highlighted by striker Casey Townsend, expect Cirovski to put yet another national competitor on the field come August as the Terps once again seek their third national cham- pionship.

While coach Sean Schimmel led only the Terrapin women's swimming and div- ing team to the NCAA Championships in 2010, it was a banner year for both the men and the women. Throughout the course of the season, each program earned votes on the national scale, and the women's team posted a fourth place finish at the ACC Championships last February.
A young men's team came into the 2010-2011 season with the hopes of tak- ing the Terps into the discussion within the ACC. The nation's No. 22 recruiting class, however, has yet to yield results for Schimmel to this point in the season. De- spite a first-place finish at the low-level Terrapin Cup and a huge win over Towson, the Terps have been unable to harness any momentum from these highs. Instead, their other meets have resulted in losses to N.C. State, Duke, North Carolina, UMBO and Navy. With meets remaining against West Virginia and Georgetown on top of the Terp Invite, though, the Terps have ample opportunity to work out the kinks before arriving in Atlanta in late February for the ACC Championships.
The women's team, on the other hand, is leaps and bounds ahead of where the men's program currently stands. Last season's fourth place finish at the ACC Championships helped propel them to the NCAA Championships in West Lafayette, Ind. They would finish the championships in 25th place behind the 12th-place finish by the 400 free relay group of Ginny Glov-
300
er, Annie Fittin, Megan Lafferty and Laura Wright.
The Terps have maintained that mo- mentum through the early parts of the 2010-2011 season, with their lone loss coming at the hands of North Carolina. The Terps have topped Duke, N.C. State, Towson, UMBO and Rutgers, in addition to claiming a first-place Terrapin Cup finish. As their regular season winds down, the Terps will look to maintain this momen- tum and improve on their performances last season in the ACC and NCAA Champi- onships in February.

When coach Kyle Spencer arrived in College Park from Baylor last season, it was clear that he was not intent on al- lowing the Terps to perpetuate their rep- utation as the cellar dwellers of the ACC. And while the Terps were faced with their usual struggles in the grueling ACC last season, finishing the season 13-13 but just 1-10 in the ACC, things appear to be turn- ing around under Spencer's guidance.
The Terps remain very young, and with the addition of former Baylor star Ma- ros Horny and former Virginia Cavalier Da- vid Nguyen, the team looks to be complete- ly reshaping itself. The Terps will return several key contributors from last season, including Finnish phenoms Tommy Laine and Jesse Kiuru and local product John Collins. It remains to be seen whether or not this year's team is built to compete in the nation's best tennis conference yet, but the pieces are in place for Spencer and the Terps to transform themselves from the punchline of national tennis jokes to a force to be reckoned with.
A similar transformation has taken place with the Terrapin women's tennis team. Coach Howard Joffe, now in his sec- ond year, has shown just why his lauded recruiting abilities landed him the head coaching job in College Park. Despite going winless in the ACC last season and win- ning just five matches all season, Joffe has brought in highly-touted Cristina Sanchez- Quintanar, Ana Belzunce, Jordaan San- ford and Cristina Stancu already, and each of these four players is arguably more tal- ented than any player to ever don a Terp uniform in the past. If the first year is any indication, Joffe and Spencer are well on their way to bringing their respective pro- grams to new heights.

season. Led by eighth year coach An- drew Valmon, whose coaching theory essentially surrounds hard work and competitiveness, the Terps saw five team members qualify for the NCAA East Regional Track and Field Cham- pionships in Greensboro, N.C., last spring.
The women were led by a trio of long jumpers in senior Tiffani Long, junior Kiani Profit and sophomore Ashley Hendrix, all of whom quali- fied for the Championships in Greens- boro. They were joined by junior discus thrower Kristen Batts and se- nior Greg Kelsey, who entered in the 3000-meter steeplechase.
Profit, an All- American, was the lone Terp to move on to the NCAA Championships, where she compet- ed in the heptathlon, a competition in which she would finish in second place. She would go on to be selected to Team USA for the NACAC Cham- pionships, an international compe- tition, in Indianapolis over the sum- mer. She won the heptathlon at this competition, which featured compet- itors from North America, Central America and the Caribbean.
With the return of their best competitor in Profit, the Terps stand a chance to continue to improve this

Coach Brian Horsmon has been searching for a breakthrough season during his four seasons at the helm of the Terrapin volleyball team.
Through much of this season, it seemed that Horsmon was primed for such a breakthrough. The Terps jumped out of the gates at 8-1, led by Lisa Scott, Sam Rosario and Brittney Grove, putting them in position to qualify for the NCAA Tournament for the first time in Horsmon' s tenure.
And even as they began their conference play, the Terps continued to play well enough that a tourna- ment appearance was looking good. Highlighted by an upset victory over Florida State in October, the Terps moved through their conference schedule and managed to remain slightly about .500 as they entered a pivotal stretch of three games to close out the season.
Unfortunately for the Terps, they stumbled, dropping their final three matches to the Seminoles, Miami and Boston College to ail-but seal their fate on the wrong side of the tourna- ment bubble once again. While 2010 didn't quite yield the results that the Terps had hoped for and they once again proved to be afterthoughts in the conference, it was a step in the right direction, and next season will mark the first where the team will be comprised entirely of Horsmon's re- cruits.
The Terrapin water polo team does not have a long-standing repu- tation for success. But even after a sub-. 500 season in 2010, the Terps qualified for the CWPA Eastern Cham- pionships as an at-large bid.
After sputtering through their regular season, essentially beating the teams they should have beaten and losing the games they were ex- pected to lose, they topped George Washington to earn a third-place finish at the CWPA Division Tourna- ment.
That third-place finish may have helped the Terps qualify for the CWPA Eastern Championships, where they were forced to deal with second-seed- ed Hartwick. The Terps put forth per- haps their best showing of the sea- son, mounting a ferocious comeback to force overtime before eventuaJly faltering, 13-12.
After falling to Brown, the Terps would eventually knock off Harvard to earn 7th-place in the Eastern Championships. They are now faced with the task of reloading in the hopes of improving on their finish last sea- son with a packed regular season highlighted by an appearance at the Michigan Invite in early March.
304
While the Terps' 2010 top-20 finish at the NCAA Championships in Omaha, Neb., is nothing to scoff at, it was a disappointment by most accoimits. After entering the season ranked as high as No. 6 in the country and returning the majority of 2009's ACC championship roster, coach Ker- ry McCoy and the Terps had national championship hopes.
However, a series of heartbreak- ing losses, highlighted by a close second-place finish to Virginia at the ACC Championship, ultimately left the Terps well short of their goal. And with the graduation of the program's only three-time All- American in Hud- son Taylor and two-time All- Ameri- can Steven Bell, the Terps came into this season searching for answers to questions of how to rebuild and im- prove on last season's relative disap- pointment.
Not surprisingly, the Terps en- tered the new season ranked far low- er—No. 33 in the country— than Mc- Coy is accustomed to, but the Terps have found some success thus far in the young season. A third-place finish at the Brockport Invitational, where they trailed only No. 9 Oklahoma and No. 23 Rutgers, saw sophomore Josh Asper named the Most Outstanding Wrestler.
The Terps went on to knock off Penn and Northern Iowa at the Northeast Duals before falling to No.
13 Missouri. Asper once again per- formed well, winning all three of his matches, while Kyle John and Mike Letts also went undefeated.
After a decent 13th-place show- ing at the Midlands Championships in Evanston, 111., the Terps rolled over Boston University, Harvard and Brown in their next three matches. They will go on to the meat of their schedule, squaring off with top pro- grams such as American and Virgin- ia before arriving in Charlottesville, Va., on March 5 in search of another ACC title. From there, the Terps will hope to move on to the NCAA Cham- pionships, which will be held this sea- son in Philadelphia in mid-March.
