THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
Maryland's Momentum
Some recent highlights that identify
the University' of Maryland as a world-
class institution with an impact on
scientific discovery, education, and
the performing and creative arts:
Rankings: Mars'land ranks 37th worldwide
among research universities, according to a
survey by Shanghai s Jiao Tong University.
And the 2008 U.S. News & IVorld Report
rankings put Mar^'land in the Top 20 of
public research universities, with 31 of our
academic programs in the Top 1 0 and 86 in
the Top 25.
Faculty: Our faculty' regularly earn national
and inter national recognition for their excel-
lence. Maryland currendy has three Nobel
laureates, seven PuUtzer Prize recipients
and more than 30 members of the most
prestigious national academies.
Private Giving: We've passed the halfway
mark — S557 million and counting — in Grfiif
E.xpeciiUioiis, The Campaign for Maryland.
A priority goal in the $1 bUlion campaign
is to raise more than S350 million for
student scholarships.
Going Green: last spring, the University
of Maryland became a charter member of
the American College & Universiry Presi-
dents Climate Commitment, pledging to
significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions
and to move toward a goal of carbon neutral-
it>'. As part of this commitment to sustainabil-
iry, the university recently completed the
first comprehensive greenhouse gas iiwentory
of campus.
Informarion Advantage: Our new
iSchool, Maryland's highly ranked College
of hiformation Studies, pioneers research
and problem solving on human-computer
mteraction, information search and retrieval,
computer interfaces that are designed with
children in mind, and more.
M Square Update: In early 2009, the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration Center for Weather and
Climate Prediction wUl open in M Square,
the university's 124-acre research park. This
new facility will join university researchers
with government experts to study weather
prediction and climate change.
Pioneering Public Health: A School
of Pubhc Health was estabUshed in 2007,
serving state and national pubhc health needs
for research in several critical areas. The
school's Herschel S. Horowitz Center for
Health Literacy will advocate for improved
health literacy and the elimination of health
disparities and for health literacy research and
education.
Students Shine Bright: Our Mock Tri,al
Team took first place in the American Mock
Trial Associations national championship,
while Maryland's Academic Quiz Team won
the National Academic Quiz Tournament
Division 1 contest, beating out more than
two dozen competitors. Another team of
undergraduates, in only its second year of
competition, won first place for its design,
construction and use of an autonomous
submersible vehicle capable of navigating
realistic underwater niissions.
On Stage and Off: The Grammy-winning
Kronos Quartet's residency at the Clarice
Smith PerforiTiing Arts Center continued this
fall, including two concerts offered as part of
UM's"A Semester on War and the Repre-
sentation ofWar" and extensive work with
School of Music students and faculty. The
ensemble's residency began in September
2007 and will continue through the
2009-2010 season.

GRADUATING STUDENT SPEAKER
Sergio Guerra
Sergio Ckierra is building upon his parents" dreams.
His tainily tied civil war in Angola, where gunfire exploded his fathers eardrums.
After emigrating to the poor industrial town of Elizabeth, N.J., his father earned an
associate "s degree and his mother earned her GED while pulling double shifts at a
factory. Guerra followed their example and pursued education as well, rather than succumb to
the poverts- and violence surrounding him.
"I chose to take the hand my parents had offered me ... and make something of myself as
they had so passionately urged me to do as I was growing up," he says.
Choosing Maryland over the University of North CaroUna and Boston University, the
anthropology major has relied on intelligence, hard work and self-discipline to not only succeed
but also excel.
As one of the top students in Maryland's demanding Honors Program, Sergio has achieved
a nearly flawless grade point average while juggling a part-time job. In the middle of this past
semester, he stepped in as a teaching assistant for hitroduction to Biological Anthropology.
His efforts have garnered him recognition on the Dean s List and a Presidential Award for
Excellence in Academics.
Outside the classroom, Sergio captains a club soccer team and volunteers for work on cancer
studies. Fluent in Spanish, French and Portuguese, he is also a member of the Portuguese Lan-
guage Association.
In January, he will travel to Angola as part of a research project examining a link between salt
and stroke. The study wiU compare samples fi-om Angola with samples fi-om African Americans
in lowland North Carolina.
Sergio's post-graduation plans also include an internship with a pharmaceutical research
company and graduate school. Ultimately he plans to earn a doctorate in forensics, considering
Johns Hopkins and New York universities for graduate studies.
"I have faced opposition and hardships my entire life and have no doubt that I will become
everything I've ever wanted to be," he says. "As they say, 'Life's what you make it,' and I'm giving
it all I've got."
IVERSITY OF MARYLAND
COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER
John C. Mather's sojourn among the stars has proven a boon for mankind and its quest to
understand the origin of the universe.
A senior astrophysicist m the Observational Cosmolog\' Laboratory at NASA's Goddard
Space Flight Center and adjunct professor at the universits'. Mather led a 1 ,(J(.)()-person team
that conducted satellite-based experiments, which strengthened support for the Big Bang theory.
NASA's Cosmic Background E.xplorer satellite, or COBE, measured latent radiation daring
from the universe's formarion an esrimated 13+ billion years ago.Three years after the E.xplorer's
launch in 1989, the team announced that it had tbund withm that radiation a clue for how clus-
ters of galaxies formed, stretching hundreds of millions of light years across the universe. The dis-
cover)- earned Mather and University of California, Berkeley researcher and professor George F.
Smoot the 2006 Nobel Prize in physics.
Born in Roanoke, Va., he received a bachelor's degree in physics from Swarthmore College in
Pennsylvania and a doctorate in physics from the University of California, Berkeley.
Mather serves as senior project scientist for the James Webb Space Telescope. Scheduled for
launch in 2013, it is being developed as the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope.
He has been appointed to advisorv' and working groups for the Narional Academy of Sciences,
the Narional Science Foundation and the Center for Astrophysical Research in the Antarctic.
Mather's awards include a NASA Distinguished Service Medal (2007); the Robinson Prize in
Cosmetology; Newcastle University (2()()6-07); and the Rumford Prize from the American Acad-
emy of Arts and Sciences (1996).
He holds professional memberships with the National Academy of Sciences, the American
Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Astronomical Society, the American Physical Society
and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
His 1996 book, Tlw Icry First Light, chronicles the design and launch of COBE. In 2007, Time
magazine listed him among its "100 Most Influential People in the World."
When asked what advice he would offer Maryland graduates, he responded: "My personal code
is lite is too long not to do what you want. It's too short not to do what you want. So find out
what you want and give it your heart, and who knows what wonders may be in store?"

WINTER COMMENCEMENT
THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
A Continuing Commitment
to Excellence
From its pre-Civil War roots as
the state's first agricultural college
and one of America's original land
grant institutions, the University'
of Maryland has emerged as a
pubhc research university of
national stature, highly regarded
for its broad base of excellence in
teaching and research. Maryland's
beautiful 1,200-acre campus is in
the heart of the 1-270 research
corridor that is fliehng a burgeon-
ing information technology and
biotechnology industry.
The momentum of recent
years has poised the university
to take leadership in shaping the
research university of the 21st cen-
tury. By virtually every measure of
quality, the University of Maryland
has gained national recognition
as one of the fastest rising compre-
hensive research institutions in
the country, Maryland is one of
the nation's Top 20 pubhc national
universities, and the quality of our
faculty — with three Nobel laure-
ates, seven Pulitzer Prize winners
and scores of Fulbright scholars —
IS among the finest of any research
university in the United States.
There are 13 schools and col-
leges within the organizational
structure of the University of
Maryland. Seven of these units —
the Smith School of Business, the
College of Education, the Clark
School of Engineering, the Phihp
Merrill College of Journalism, the
College of Computer, Mathemati-
cal and Physical Sciences, the
College of Information Studies
and the School of Pubhc Policy —
have been recognized by their
peers and in various rankings as
among the 25 best in the nation.
The breadth of this excellence is
a source of pride for students, fac-
ulty and staff, and is endorsement
for the university's flagship status
among the state's institutions of
higher education.
The university also continues
to move forward in the quality of
our students and the support of our
faithfiil alumni. Freshman admission
IS increasingly competitive. More
than 28, 1 50 fireshman apphcations
were received for just over 4,000
spots in the Fall 2008 entering class.
Once accepted students
complete their academic journey,
they wUl join a rapidly increasing
tamily of alumni who are proud
to be called Terps. Maryland
Alumni Association membership
has grown to more than 30,000
dues paying members since its
inception in 1989.
The university's conunitment
to quahty education in a research
envirormient is key to its academic
reputation and the success of its
graduates. More than 100 centers
and institutes are engaged in
research and outreach. The
research enterprise infuses the
curriculum at both the undergrad-
uate and graduate levels, exposing
students to the most pressing issues
and challenges in their discipline
and training them to respond
with rigor as well as creativity
to contemporary problems.
Faculty at the University of
Maryland, in all fields of knowl-
edge, are engaged at the highest
levels of national and international

concern. The universiry's location
near the center of federal pohcy-
making and international political
and economic activity' enables it to
play an active role in research and
analysis of public policy. Strong
Hnks to the scientific and techno-
logical agencies and organizations
of the federal government drive
research in the environment,
engineering, physics, computer sci-
ence, life sciences and agriculture.
Scholarship in the arts, humanities
and social sciences is marked by
the spirit of intellectual diversity
and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Marv'land is one of the research
universities in 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.
Total sponsored research and
outreach revenue for fiscal year
2008 topped $400 miUion. These
fiinds for research, training and
outreach come fi^om a variety
of sources including the federal
government, state government,
corporations and foundations.
The Office of Technology
Commercialization (OTC) at
the University of Maryland was
established in late 1986 to facilitate
the transfer of information, life and
physical science inventions devel-
oped at the university to business
and industry. In its 22-year history,
OTC has recorded more than
1 ,700 technologies, secured more
than 325 patents and licensed
more than 900 technologies, gen-
erating more than $16.3 million in
technology transfer income. OTC
collaborates with university offices
such as the Maryland Technology
Enterprise Institute, the Technol-
ogy Advancement Program, the
Small Business Development
Center and the Dingman Center
for Entrepreneurship. These
partnerships demonstrate the
university's broad range of technol-
ogy transfer services, research and
development funding, partnering
opportunities and entrepreneurial
capabilities to the local community,
industry and government.
History
The University of Maryland was
founded in 1807 in Baltimore as
a faculty-ovnied College of
Medicine. The medical school
was considered one of the top
schools in the country, attracting
notable professors and lecturers
from throughout the world. In
its beginning, tuition cost $140,
grades were sent home weekly to
parents, and students could obtain
room and board for $300 annually.
Five years later, the growing
institution was renamed the
University of Maryland. Despite
the name, the university was not
considered a state institution as it
was stiU owned and operated by
faculty'. Baltimore College of
Dental Surgery, the first dental
school in the world, became a part
of the university in 1840, awarding
the first Doctor of Dental Surgery-
degree in 1841.
In 1859, the Maryland Agri-
cultural College, which would
e\-olve into the University of
Maryland, College Park, was
opened under a charter secured
by a group of Maryland planters
in 1856. In addition to spending
one hour each day hoeing or
plowing on the college farm,
students took a broad range of
courses in ancient and modern
languages, natural sciences, English
and mathematics. After a disastrous
fire on campus m 1912, the state
acquired the college and rebuilt it.
In 1920, the state legislature
combined the College Park
institution with the professional
schools in Baltimore to form an
expanded University of Maryland.
The entity eventually grew to
include campuses in Baltimore
County, the Eastern Shore and
University College, a continuing
education institution.
The follow-ing decades saw
the increasing growth of student
population, excellence in programs
and curricula, and the burgeoning
of the University of Maryland,
College Park, into a nationally
recognized research institution.
July 1, 1988, marked the dawn
of a new era in higher education
in the state of Maryland, as the
five components of the university
were merged with six other state
universities and colleges to form
the University System of Mary-
land, and College Park secured its
flagship status with a mandate to
become one of the pre-eminent
research universities in the nation.

Customs of Commencement
Early commencement ceremomes
at the University of Maryland were
marked with great fanfare and cele-
bration. The facultN' gave huge
banquets for the graduates the
night before the event. The follow-
ing morning, crowds gathered to
watch the young graduates parade.
It was a gala social occasion, attract-
ing not only friends and relatives,
but the fasliionable elite of the
day. At the ceremony, prayers were
recited, speeches were made, and
honorary degrees were awarded
to distinguished figures fiom 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 gowTis 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 CivU War, most
students at American universities
wore caps and gowns daily while
in residence. These varied in design
until thev were standardized bv the
American Intercollegiate
Commission 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 scholars academic
disciphne.
A List of deparmient colors follows:
Agriculmre: Maize
Arts, Letters, Humanities:
White
Business Admimstration,
Conunercial Science: Drab
Dentistry: Lilac
Economics: Copper
Education: Light Blue
Engineering: Orange
Fine Arts, Architecture: Brown
Forestry: Russet
Home Economics: Maroon
Journalism: Crimson
Law: Purple
Librar^' Science: Lemon
Medicine: Green
Music: Pink
Nursing: Apricot
Oratory, Speech: SUver Gray
Pharmacy: OUve
Physical Education: Sage Green
Philanthropy: Rose
Philosophy: Dark Blue
Pubhc Administration. Foreign
Service: Peacock Blue
Pubhc Health: Salmon
Science: Golden Yellow
Social Work: Citron
Theology and Divinity: Scarlet
Veterinary Sciences: Gray
The tassel may also be colored
to represent an academic disciphne
or It may be black. OiEcially, the
tassel is permitted "to he 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.
Student Marshals
Elected through a nomination
process, student marshals are
senior leaders who play an
important role in the graduation
ceremony. Student marshals assist
in organizing the thousands of
graduates, leading them smoothly
through the commencement
procession. They also supply e.xtra
caps and hoods, and bobby pins to
keep headwear secure. December
2008 marshals are listed on page 68
of this booklet.
Senior Gift
This year's gift is the renovation of
the Morrill Quad (in the center of
Morrill, Tydings, LeFrak. Taliaferro
and Shoemaker Halls). In front of
Morrill Hall, the campus' oldest
building, is the site of the original
campus quadrangle; it is being
redeveloped to help preserve the
history of the University of Mar)'-
land.The Class of 2008-2009 has
chosen to honor one of our cam-
pus' oldest treasures wdth one of
our campus' oldest traditions.
If you would like to be a part
of this tradition of philanthropy
by donating to the Senior Class
Gift call 301.314.GRAD for
more information.
Academic Degrees
A degree is awarded for the
successfiil completion of a course
of study. There are more than
1 .600 diff'erent academic degrees
currendy conferred by colleges
and universities nationwide. The
University of Maryland oS"ers
degrees in 127 undergraduate
majors, 75 doctoral programs,
1 (1 1 master's programs and one
first professional degree.
The Doctor's Degree
The doctor's degree represents
the most advanced earned degree
conferred by American institu-
tions. 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 Medicine,
Juris Doctor, Doctor of Pharmacy
and Doctor ofVeterinar)'
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 ever on
March 9.1841, and invented
the name of the degree. Doctor
of Dental Surgery.
The University of Maryland
conveys the Doctor of Veterinary
Medicine to approximately 90
WINTER COMMENCEMENT
THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
Students each year in a program
that was instituted in 1 980.
Graduates receive a diploma
containing the seals of both the
University of Maryland and its
partner institution, the Virginia
Polytechnic Institute and State
University.
The second type is the research
doctorate representing prolonged
periods of advanced study. A
dissertation that usually accompanies
the study is intended to contribute
substantially to the body of
knowledge on the subject. The
most important of these, the
Doctor of Philosophy, no longer
has an implication of philosophy
for its holder, but represents
advanced research in any of the
major fields of knowledge. It was
first awarded in the United States
in 1861 by Yale University. The
University of Maryland awarded a
Ph.D. for the first time in 1920.
The Master's Degree
The master's degree is an academic
honor bestowed upon students
who have successfiilly completed
work beyond the baccalaureate.
A thesis and an oral examina-
tion are usually required. In
1920,the University of Maryland
awarded its first Master of Arts and
Master of Science degrees in fields
other than agriculture.
The Bachelor's Degree
The bachelor's degree represents
the completion of a four-year
course of college-level study and
is the oldest academic degree
awarded by American institutions
of higher learning. It was first
conferred in America in 1 642 on
the first nine graduates of Harvard
College. Maryland Agriculture
College, which later became the
University of Mar)'land, College
Park, awarded its first Bachelor
of Arts and Bachelor of Science
in 1862.
