Spring Commencement"
MAY 20-21, 2012 / UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
The May 2012 class roster comprises degree candidates from the graduate and undergraduate programs at the University of Maryland,
College Park. As final action cannot always be taken for candidates by the time this program is printed, the list of candidates here is tentative. The
university reserves the right to withdraw or add names. Diplomas (for other than doctoral degrees) will be mailed by the Office of the Registrar.
Congratulations
congratulations on your graduation from the university! This is a
milestone that should bring great pride to you, your family and friends.
I am certain that your time at the University of Maryland has
been filled with new ideas, friendships and opportunities. As presi-
dent of this great university, I want to express my hope that you
have explored new areas and discovered new talents. The world is
waiting for you to share them.
As you move beyond the campus, I hope you will remember the
intellectual curiosity and drive that inspired your time here. Graduating
does not mean that learning has come to an end. It means that you
are now equipped to take charge of your own learning. This is a
privilege and a profound responsibility. Society's advancement will
depend upon your knowledge and your leadership.
As you leave us, you should take with you the pride we all feel in
your accomplishments as scholars, artists, athletes and leaders. You
have enriched the university's life and have helped it to climb to a
new level of distinction. We welcome you into the alumni family, a
truly special group.
I hope that you stay connected to the university and take full
advantage of being an alum. Stay involved with us and help new
generations of students develop their futures. You can do this by
returning to campus often, starting with Maryland Day 2013, on
April 27.
You have my very best wishes for all your future plans. Make
your mark. But wherever your path takes you, please remember
that you will always be a TERR I hope you will always stay in touch.
Go Terps!
Sincerely,
OJc ft- 5 *^—
Wallace D. Loh, President

CUSTOMS OF COMMENCEMENT
Early commencement ceremonies at the University of Maryland
were marked with great fanfare and celebration. The faculty gave
huge banquets for the graduates the night before the event. The
following morning, crowds gathered to watch the young graduates
parade. It was a gala social occasion, attracting not only friends and
relatives, but also the fashionable elite of the day. At the ceremony,
prayers were recited, speeches were made and honorary degrees were
awarded to distinguished figures from across the country. Finally, as
the audience cheered and threw flowers, the graduates came forward
to collect their Latin-inscribed degrees.

ACADEMIC COSTUME
The black caps and gowns worn by the students and faculty in the
academic procession have been the traditional costume of scholars
since the Middle Ages. The ordinary dress of the scholar, whether
student or teacher, was similar to that of a cleric. Caps and gowns
were probably worn to keep students warm in unheated buildings.
Many medieval scholars were tonsured, like monks, and hoods served
to cover their shaved heads until the skullcap later took its place. Even
after the Civil War, most students at American universities wore caps
and gowns daily while in residence. These varied in design until the
American Intercollegiate Commission standardized them in 1894. At
that time it was decided that all robes would be black. Colors on the
trim of the gown were also standardized to indicate the scholar's aca-
demic discipline.
The tassel may also be colored to represent an academic discipline
or it may be black. Officially, the tassel is permitted "to lie where
it will" on the mortarboard. However, numerous institutions have
adopted the practice of having degree candidates wear the tassel on
the right front side at the start of the commencement ceremony and
then shift them to the left side after degrees are awarded.
SENIOR MARSHALS
Elected through a nomination process, student marshals are senior
leaders who play an important role in the graduation ceremony.
They assist in organizing the thousands of graduates, leading them
smoothly through the commencement procession. They also supply
extra caps and hoods, as well as bobby pins to keep headwear secure.
Spring 2012 marshals are listed on page 77 of this booklet.

CARAPACE CHALLENGE
Since 1910, almost every Maryland class has given the university a
symbol to honor its graduation and continue the legacy of student
giving — the bronze Testudo in front of McKeldin Library the sundial
on the Mall and the Henson Garden, to name a few. This tradition of
philanthropy has evolved into the Carapace Challenge. This initiative
encourages students to financially support the causes they believe in
most — from the university's community outreach and partnerships to
student groups conducting research to solve tomorrow's global issues.
Thank you to those students who have continued the tradition and
provided an example for future generations.
Commencement is not the end of being a Terp. It's just the
beginning.
For more information, contact Alyson Goff, coordinator of student
philanthropy at agoffi@umd.edu.

Speaker Biographies
HEUNGKOOK"HK" STEPHENS / STUDENT SPEAKER
Heungkook "HK" Stephens wants to be
known for channeling his compassion and
talents to improve the lives of others. And
maybe for his moves on the dance floor.
As a civil engineering major, Stephens
helped Engineers Without Borders provide
a sustainable water source in Brazil and
a water chlorination system in Peru. He
directs a youth ministry and, before coming
to Maryland, spent a month in Bangladesh
teaching character education.
"It was in Bangladesh where I experienced
the great amount of good an engineer could
provide for a developing community/' he
says. "During that year I also began to
understand how helping others took more
than technical expertise."
Stephens has that expertise, and he has
heart, says Alan P. Santos, director of stu-
dent services in the civil and environmental
engineering department and Stephens' aca-
demic adviser.
"HK is committed to doing something
with his degree other than doing well
financially," he says. "His passion is doing
something good."
He's also an avid dance fan. He discovered
his skills during a middle-school quest to
look cool, and that led to his earning a spot
on the university's Dynamic Dance Team
and then in the competitive Culture Shock
D.C. troupe. Stephens also was attracted by
the group's mentoring program.
He juggled that with his courseload, an
internship with the Silver Spring engineer-
ing firm Charles P. Johnson & Associates
and undergraduate water treatment research.
Stephens, 22, also is a youth group program
coordinator with his wife, Jin Soon. He loves
his full life, but looks forward to a change of
pace after graduation.
"I really miss my friends from freshman
and sophomore years," he says. "It's hard to
get together. I've built a reputation for being
the busy one."
The fourth Terp in a family of five, Stephens
will stick with Maryland for graduate school.
He plans to study the advanced detection and
deactivation of waterborne pathogens.
"I'm sure he's enjoying his college life,"
Santos says. "He's also preparing for greater
things."
10 2012 Spring Commencement I UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
JENNY WANG / UNIVERSITY MEDALIST
Jenny Wang came to Maryland with a lot
of energy and interests — and found just the
right outlet for them all at Maryland.
She double majored in unrelated disci-
plines, served as a teaching assistant and
helped start an undergraduate research
journal. She also volunteered in a local
emergency room and organized community
service events.
"My attention span is kind of short," she
jokes. "I get interested in a lot of things."
Wang earned 40 credits before becoming
a Terp, and she kept up that academic pace
on campus. She maintained a 4.0 GPA as
she completed degrees in physiology and
neurobiology and in English language and
literature.
"Jenny has clearly been recognized for her
superior academic performance and strong
career trajectory over the years, but I am
regularly amazed at how much this young
woman has accomplished," says Stephen M.
Roth, associate professor of kinesiology. He is
also the director of the Functional Genomics
Laboratory, where Wang researched the
effect of long-term exercise on telomere
length, or the protective caps on the ends of
chromosomes.
As a result of that work, she co-wrote one
paper appearing in the Journal of Gerontology:
Biological Sciences and another submitted to
the Journal of Applied Physiology.
She picked up the second major after only
one semester as a biological sciences student.
Wang enjoyed the intimacy of the upper-
level English classes and the nonscientific
discussions. It provided balance. If she got
tired of microbes, she'd work on a short story
assignment.
"In each class, she did solid 'A' work, in
difficult courses that required 40 pages of
writing and three exams," says Michael
Olmert, professor of the practice in the
Department of English. "In fact, she did sen-
sational work."
After graduation, Wang will take a week
to relax, then plunge into applying to medi-
cal schools. She also would like to travel to
her parents' homeland of China to supple-
ment calligraphy and folklore courses she
took at Maryland.
She doesn't have a particular school in
mind, since she's not sure of her focus, but
she is clear on one geographical requirement:
"It must be north of Virginia," she says. "I do
not handle hot weather well."
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND / 2012 Spring Commencement 11
JOHN BERRY '80 / COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER
John Berry, director of the U.S. Office
of Personnel Management, is the federal
government's chief people person. He is
responsible for recruiting, hiring and setting
benefits policies for 1.9 million federal civil-
ian employees.
He works closely with partners inside and
outside of government to fulfill President
Barack Obama's charge to "make government
cool again by developing flexible, results-
oriented HR policies and working to change
how Americans view their public servants."
Berry shares his goal of building a
workforce of dynamic innovators who put
serving the American people at the heart
of everything they do. "The university is
pleased to have John Berry as our spring
commencement speaker," says university
President Wallace D. Loh. "His goal to create
a federal workforce of dynamic innovators
fits perfectly with Maryland's push to create
students who are more entrepreneurial and
able to think outside the box."
With more than 20 years of experience in
the federal government, Berry is a passionate
and aggressive advocate for public service
and federal workers. He developed expertise
in employee and retirement issues during
10 years as legislative director for U.S. Rep.
Steny Hoyer, now the House minority whip.
During the Clinton administration, Berry
served as deputy assistant secretary and act-
ing assistant secretary for law enforcement
at the Department of the Treasury. There, he
supervised more than 40 percent of the fed-
eral law enforcement community, including
the Secret Service and the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco and Firearms. He then served as
assistant secretary for policy, management
and budget at the Department of the Interior.
Berry pursued his interest in conservation
as director of the National Fish and Wildlife
Foundation from 2001 to 2008, then as direc-
tor of the National Zoo, where John the Lion
is named after him.

EDWARD A. ST. JOHN '61 / HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT
Edward A. St. John '61 brings to philan-
thropy the same commitment that helped
him build one of the region's largest and
most successful commercial real estate firms.
He has impacted the state, economically
through his successful company, as a leader
through his public service and philanthropi-
cally through his generosity.
In 1971, he started St. John Properties,
which now owns and manages more than 15
million square feet of real estate (residential,
retail, research and development, warehouse,
and office buildings) in Maryland, Northern
Virginia, Wisconsin, Colorado and Louisiana.
Valued at more than $2 billion, the company
services more than 1,600 tenants.
It is what he does with this success that
makes St. John exceptional, noted Corridor
Inc. magazine upon naming him its 2009
Person of the Year. The company donates 7.5
percent of its net income to charitable causes.
Through his foundation, the Baltimore,
Md., native has given and pledged more than
$43 million to support local nonprofit orga-
nizations and educational institutions. His
personal commitment of $10 million to the
university last year will support construc-
tion of the Edward St. John Learning and
Teaching Center. When it is built, approxi-
mately 10,000 students per day will use the
high-tech learning facility, designed to help
them compete in a technologically advanced
marketplace.
"As a proud alum, I am keenly aware of
how my education has continued to pay divi-
dends throughout my career, and provided me
with a solid foundation for success," he says.
Two of St. John's three children and his sister
also attended the University of Maryland.
Nancy Grasmick, former state super-
intendent of schools, says of St. John, "He
wholeheartedly believes in the transforma-
tional potential of education."
St. John chairs the board of trustees
at the Maryland Science Center. He serves
on a number of other boards, including the
University of Maryland Baltimore County,
Alex Brown Center for Entrepreneurship,
Johns Hopkins University Real Estate Institute
and the National Association of Industrial
and Office Parks (Maryland chapter).
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND / 2012 Spring Commencement 13
SUZANNE G.VALENSTEIN / HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT
Suzanne G. Valenstein currently is Research
Scholar at The Metropolitan Museum of
Art. She is retired from the Metropolitan's
Department of Asian Art, where she curated
the Chinese ceramics for thirty-five years.
She also was guest curator for an exhibition
at China Institute in America, for which
she wrote the catalogue, Ming Porcelains:
A Retrospective (1970). Her publications
for the Metropolitan include A Handbook
of Chinese Ceramics (1975); "Highlights
of Chinese Ceramics," The Metropolitan
Museum of Art Bulletin (1975); A Handbook
of Chinese Ceramics, revised and enlarged
edition (1989); Cultural Convergence in
the Northern Qi Period: A Flamboyant
Chinese Ceramic Container (2007);
and (as co-author), The Robert Lehman
Collection, Volume XV: European and
Asian Decorative Arts (forthcoming). She
was co-author of Oriental Ceramics: The
World's Great Collections, Volume 12: The
Metropolitan Museum of Art, published
by Kodansha, International (1977); and was
author/editor of The Herzman Collection of
Chinese Ceramics (1992). Her new research
monograph, Cosmopolitanism in the Tang
Dynasty: A Chinese Ceramic Figure of a
Sogdian Wine-Merchant, will be published
by Cambria Press (forthcoming). In addition,
she has written numerous articles and book
reviews for Artibus Asiae, Oriental Art, and
Orientations magazines.
In Fall 1976, Ms. Valenstein was Visiting
Lecturer in the Department of Art and
Archaeology, Princeton University, where
she conducted a seminar in Chinese ceram-
ics. She has lectured widely in this country
and abroad on the subject of Chinese ceramic
history.
14 2012 -Spring Commencement I UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
Maryland's Momentum
Nurturing the entrepreneurial spirit in students and faculty. Forging
powerful federal partnerships to address world concerns. Creating
artistic experiences to enrich the community. Members of the university
community do this and more. Fear the Turtle!
Maryland continues to strengthen its
reputation as one of the top public research
institutions nationally and internationally. It
boasted 30 programs in U.S. News & World
Report's top 10 rankings in 2011 and placed
38th in the 2011 Academic Ranking of World
Universities.
Maryland netted $472 million in external
research grants in fiscal 2011. The
university has brought in more than $1.5
billion over the past three years, including
funding for collaborative research
in environmental science, air traffic
management and space exploration.
Maryland astronomer Sylvain Veilleux
is working with NASA Goddard Space
Flight Center to build a key component
of the high-powered Discovery Channel
Telescope, which is set to be completed
this year. The technology, known as a rapid-
response infrared imager and spectrometer,
can "target" gamma ray bursts occurring
in deep space. These bursts may signal the
birth of a black hole or a neutron star, and
the imager will identify the bursts quickly,
guiding the telescope to a precise location
for a closer look.
A landmark gift of $10 million from
Baltimore developer and philanthropist
Edward St. John '61 will help create a
world-class learning and teaching space
at the university: the Edward St. John
Learning and Teaching Center. The building
will be located on McKeldin Mall and will
incorporate the facade of historic Holzapfel
Hall. When completed, more than a third of
the undergraduate student body will attend
classes there daily.
Maryland students won the U.S.
Department of Energy's 2011 Solar
Decathlon by planning and building an
innovative solar-powered house. Their entry,
Watershed, won the international contest
by combining energy efficiency, cost-
effectiveness and attractiveness.
A new partnership between the University
of Maryland and the University of Maryland,
Baltimore will significantly expand research
collaborations, business development and
student opportunities at both institutions.
University of Maryland: MPowering the
State includes creating a Collaborative
School of Public Health; launching the
University of Maryland Scholars Program
to allow students from each institution to
participate in research led by faculty at the
other institution; and joining the resources
of the two universities' offices that promote
technology transfer and commercialization.
The University of Maryland and Beijing
Normal University are formally expanding
their earth sciences research by launching
the Joint Center on Global Change and
Earth System Science. The center will track
and predict the impact of climate change
internationally, which can help forecast crop
failure and changes in commodity prices, or
aid in preparations for agricultural shortages.
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND / 2012 Spring Commencement 15
OUR HISTORY & OUR FUTURE
From its pre-Civil War roots- as the state's first agricultural college
and one of America's original land-grant institutions, the University
Maryland has emerged as a public research university of national
stature, highly regarded for its broad base of excellence in teaching
and research.
Founded in 1856 by a group of planters, the former Maryland
Agricultural College required students to spend an hour a day hoeing
or plowing on the college farm and to take courses in ancient and
modern languages, natural sciences, English and mathematics. After a
disastrous fire on campus in 1912, the state acquired the college and
rebuilt it. The legislature in 1988 combined its institutions of higher
education to form the University System of Maryland, and the
growing College Park campus was named its flagship.
Today, Maryland takes full advantage of the unique resources of
the nation's capital, attracting top students and faculty; enriching
the economic, social and cultural life of the state; and engaging the
global community to address some of the most critical issues of our
day. Within the university's 12 schools and colleges, our academic
community is addressing today's most pressing scientific and societal
challenges, such as climate change, the economy, energy, homeland
security and public health.
16 2012 Spring (ommcniemcnl
Our student body of 27,000 undergraduate students and 10,000
graduate students comes to study with a faculty that ranks among
the finest in the nation, with three Nobel laureates, five Pulitzer Prize
winners and scores of Fulbright scholars.
The quality of our students and the support of our alumni continue
to grow. We received more than 26,000 applications for 4,000
first-year seats in Fall 2012. Accepted students who complete their
academic journey join a rapidly increasing family of alumni who
are proud to be called Terps. The University of Maryland Alumni
Association has grown to more than 32,000 dues-paying members
since its inception in 1989.
As a gateway to the world, the university has established more than
250 educational, research and economic relationships with people and
institutions in countries such as China, India, Brazil, Israel and the
United Arab Emirates. The Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute,
or Mtech; the University of Maryland Small Business Development
Network; and the Dingman Center for Entrepreneurship nurture
a culture of thriving entrepreneurship at the university. They are
leading efforts to educate and assist business startups, create technology
ventures and connect Maryland companies with university resources to
help them succeed. Through its Office of Technology Commercialization,
the university has secured more than 440 U.S. patents, licensed more
than 565 technologies and helped to create 60 high-tech startup
companies. Among them are award-winning firms that create
alternative energy solutions, national security tools and data systems to
protect against Internet viruses. Companies served by Mtech sold more
than $25.7 billion in goods and services over the last 25 years.
Maryland is part of the prestigious 61 -member Association
of American Universities and the only public institution in
the Maryland-D.C. area with membership in the nation's most
distinguished honor society, Phi Beta Kappa.
THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
The Maryland Alumni Association represents more than 300,000
graduates of the university and fosters lifelong Terrapin connections,
keeping alumni engaged well beyond their graduation. The alumni
association hosts programs and events such as the Young Alumni
BBQ and regional crab feasts, and supports more than 60 clubs and
chapters nationwide. Current students can take advantage of such
benefits as the Alumni Speaker Series, annual etiquette dinner
and scholarships. Upon graduation, all Terps receive a one-year
complimentary membership. Also available to all alumni is the
Samuel Riggs IV Alumni Center. Built by alumni, for alumni, the
center is an inviting gathering place for friends of the university.

Doctoral Degrees
The doctoral degree is the most advanced earned degree conferred by American institutions.
There are two distinct types: the practitioner's degree and the research degree. The first
type represents advanced training for the practice of various professions, principally doctor
of audiology, doctor of medicine, juris doctor, doctor of pharmacy and doctor of veterinary
medicine. These degrees do not involve the completion of original research by the student.
The University of Maryland, at the professional school in Baltimore, awarded the first two
dental degrees on March 9, 1841.
