WINTER      COMMENCEMEI 


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."

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

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

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-

Total  sponsored  research  and 
outreach  revenue  for  fiscal  year 
2008  topped  $400  miUion.  These 
fiinds  for  research,  training  and

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:

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.

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

STUDENT     MARSHALS 


The  Senior  Marshal  Program  began  in  1991  as 
an  opportunity  to  acknowledge  outstanding 
seniors  at  their  commencement.  The  students 
selected  to  be  marshals  were  nominated  by 
faculty,  administration  and  staff  for  their  outstanding  accom- 
phshments  and  contributions  to  the  University  of  Maryland.
