Dear Class of 2002,

Congratulations to each and every one of you for
achieving this most important milestone — your
graduation. Graduation is a very special occasion, and
you get to celebrate your accomplishments to date and
your aspirations for your future. I am confident that
the preparation that you have received at UMass
Dartmouth has given you the skills and knowledge to
meet the great opportunities and challenges you will face
in your future. We are proud to have been such an
important partner in your educational success and look
forward to hearing about your significant contributions
to our modern world.

That your contributions are needed in the twenty-first
century goes without saying. Our world is one where
rapid growth and chance shape the fabric of daily life.
We are called upon to use our resourcefulness and our

talents to adapt to its changing requirements. Global communications, advanced technology, interlinked
economies and international politics make demands on all of us to be competent, and incredibly diverse.
You must be prepared to shape it and to transform it for the better.

I am confident that your education at UMass Dartmouth has prepared you not only to acquire intellectual
skills but also to live a truly meaningful life characterized by honesty, integrity and compassion for
others. I urge you to value and honor diversity and civility and to make a commitment to using your
intellectual talents for the common good as well as for making a good living. Certainly, the events of
September 11,2001 have made us all acutely aware of the threats that exist in the fabric of our democratic
society. Conflict, warfare, prejudice and poverty can threaten the quality of our contemporary life. We
have witnessed a tremendous rebirth of patriotism, and it will be up to you to ensure that patriotism's
true meaning is lived out in the next generation. You have had the opportunity to witness heroism at
ever)' level. One never knows when that extraordinary challenge will face you. You need to be ready to
meet it. You can be a hero in the way you live your ordinary life.

Many people have contributed to your success. Your family, friends, faculty and staff have supported
you in many ways as you have moved toward graduation. Share your success with them and always be
willing to express your appreciation to others.

It has been a great privilege for us to share this educational journey with you. We hope that you have
learned how to learn and how to apply your skills and knowledge in ways that will help you thrive in our
changing world while at the same time helping to improve its quality. Your University welcomes you
now as proud alumni and hopes you will always stay involved and committed to your alma mater.

Most sincerely,

Jean F. MacCormack
Chancellor

"Engage, Embedded and Evolve"

In September, 2001 the University of AAassachesetts President
'William M. Bulger presented to Jean MacCormock a madallion;
on act that officially dubed her Chancellor of the University of
Massachusetts Dartmouth. Engraved on this medallion are the
words "Engaged, embedded, evolve". In her speech she talked
of a vision she has for our school where the true meaning of these
words, words that are her duties, would be carried out.

While Chancellor MocCormack has been on our campus since
September of 1999, holding the position of interim chancellor, this
ceremony held in the main auditorium marked her official welcome
as leader of our campus, complete with the pomp, circumstance
and tradition that accompanies official University ceremonies like
these.

Not only is the event of Chancellor MacCormack's installation
notworthy, as this installation marks only the third in campus history,
but it is groundbreaking. Chancellor Jean MacCormock is the
first woman chancellor, and she is proud to have that honor. "I
bring a different perspective, a woman's perspective," she said at
her ceremony. "It's not better, but it's different."

Students, faculty, staff and colleagues all filled the auditoriunh
for the event, but it was the presence of Chancellor MacCormack's
family that mode her most happy.

Students of this university ore excited about new leadership,
and look forward to seeing the vision she will work to carry out:
even long after they have left this campus. UMass Darmouth will
always be our alma mader and students count on strong leadership
to always keep it the distinguished and honorable institution it
was when we were here. On behalf of UMD's students, welcome
Chancellor.

William M. Buker^

[president]

Dear Class of 2002,

The tragic events of September 1 1 force us to confront many challenges, but also remind us
all that knowledge is out best antidote for fear and uncertainty. As you go forward at this
important time in world history, make the effort every day to learn more.

The educators at this- University have played important roles in your development. Yet, in
many ways you have educated yourselves. Education is not something that can be passively
acquired. Education is an active process, a personal and individual process, and it is directed
first and foremost, to a personal and individual product, the development of a peculiarly human
trait, the intellect.

Congratulations on completing this phase of your life-long education. Your presence has
made the University better. Please stay in touch.

Sincerely,
William M. Bulger
President

In Memorium

Last summer, UMass Dartmouth's psychology department lost one of its finest faculty members. Dr. Scott Dickmon was a
brilliant professor and o friend to his students, fie possessed a vast knowlege of all the subjects he taught and he passed that
knolwege effectively and memorably to his students. \

We, the students of Dr Dickmon, remember his lectures to be be comprehensive and informative. Many young freshman,
myself included, were swayed into the psychology major under the influence of Dr Dickmon's Psych 101 class. We then
decided that we all suffered from rare psychotic disorders after taking his Abnormal Psych class. We later learned the
methods behind Freud's madness in Dr. Dickmon's course in Personality Theory. And some of us went on to perform bizarre
experiments on the freshman psychology students in the Honors Project course directed by Dr. Dickmon.

Certainly we all felt regret when we learned that Dr Dickmon hod passed away, but those of us who took his classes can
of least be thankful for the wealth of knowlege that he shared with us. Our memories of him ore fond and we will carry
what we learned from Dr Dickmon beyond college and into our careers. Thank you. Dr. Dickmon. '

ji Susan T. Costa
[Acting Vice Chancellor, Student Affairs]

To the Class of 2002, we have enjoyed serving you during your career at UMass Dartmouth. It can be
said with certainty that you have graduated from this institution a different person than who you were
when you entered. We are appreciative of you as a member of our community and the impact of your
presence; for not only are you changed, but we are changed as a result of what we have learned from you.

We trust that you have learned from us as we have advised, counseled, cajoled and challenged you, but
learning goes both ways. We have also been challenged by you. Your expectations of us have helped us
strive to be better professionals. With the passing of every class, we are wiser, more knowledgeable, and
better prepared for the next class. We take that responsibility seriously and we thank you for all you have
given us.

The administration of UMass Dartmouth does its best to deliver quality service to its students but also
to foster an environment which allows and encourages students to take risks through active learning and
opportunities for growth.

While the focus of your formal education was the classroom, we are confident that your experience and
learning was enhanced by the variety of educationally purposeful activities that were provided.

As members of our community, we required you to take responsibility and to be accountable for your
actions. We asked you to practice civility and to appreciate others. We urged you to tiy your hand at
leadership and we encouraged you to stand up for what you believe. Take those lessons and skills with
you and continue to practice them in your personal and professional lives.

We hope you know that we care about students and that students matter. We were always concerned
about your well being and committed to your success. Your graduation is testimony to that success. As
you graduate, we congratulate you and ask that you stay connected and continue to feel a part of the
UMass Dartmouth family.

Sincerely,
Susan T. Costa

Retirine Professors at UMD

"A critical part of your experience at UMass Dartmouth was your time with the faculty. As teachers,
mentors, and guides, they truly define this university. Everywhere I go, I hear from students and
alumni, expressions of their tremendous regard for this faculty — who are always willing to go to the
greatest lengths to ensure student success. They care passionately about students, and advancing and
transmitting knowledge in their discipHnes. They believe their work makes a difference in producing
a new generation of continuous learners. They are role models for you about what it means to truly
care about producing quality research and scholarship, about creating the conditions that enhance
student learning and teaching others, and about loving what you do.

Further recognition is due today to a special group of faculty who have devoted much of their
professional lives to this University. Among them, they have given an incredible 1,136 years of service
to this institution. As you graduate today, 43 of your professors are retiring or will retire during this
next year. We offer them a special word of thanks. We arevery much in your debt for your years of
remarkable service and academic achievement. Please know you will always have a home here. We
consider you a permanent part of the UMD family."

Ofne of the best parts of returning to
UMD in the fall is Welcome Back
Week; a week packed with activities, trips,
programs and free food.

The Campus Activities Board sponsored
"Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?", a viewing
of "The Matrix" in the campus center, x-rated
hypnotist Jim Spinnato and a Foam Dance
party. "Slipping, sliding and dancing around
in the foam with friends was such a great way
to begin the vear!" commented Courtney
Gillett and Melissa Collier. Also, they
provided transportation to the Gravity
Games and Hampton Beach.

There were scheduled sporting events for
almost every night. The men's soccer team
played Mt. Ida, women's tennis were up
against Eastern Nazarene, women's soccer
played Roger Williams and the football team
battled Springfield on Saturday afternoon.

One of the most popular events was the
first fall 2001 Sunset Senior Class party, where
the Seniors were able to get together and have
an awesome time conversing with those they
had not seen all summer, and prepare for their
final year here at UMD.

'Unity. Resolve. Freedom. These are the hallmarks of the American spirit."
~~ '^: - President Georee W. Bush

- President George W. Bush

n September 11, many of us got our cups of coffee, fought over parking spaces and crowded into our early
morning classes without even noticing how beautiful a day it was. We listened half-heartedly to our professors
and jotted down scattered notes, completely oblivious to what was going on in the world around us. When we wandered
through the halls after our 9:30 classes, there was something eerie about the air. People were talking as usual, but
something was different. The sound of televisions could be heard from most every classroom - a strange thing for a
Tuesday morning. On the screen, it didn't seem real - the images of two passenger planes flying directly into the World
Trade Towers, dust and debris, people running for their lives. Could it be real? Who could have done such a thing? What
about those people? Questions flooded our minds. No sooner than \vq could think, a professor scurried door to door
frantically, classes had been cancelled ... we were at war.

I started to cry, sitting in the cold black chair of my literature class, watching the repeated image of those planes. I was
in shock, I couldn't believe that something like this could have happened in our country. The once steady foundation of
security I stood upon was now shaken, the fearlessness of youth began to slip through my fingers. It took an hour and
a half to get around Ring Road, but I finally began the ride home. Looking around, everything seemed different. I
noticed what a beautiful day it was and smiled through my tears.

Our hearts go out to all of those directly affected by the attacks at the World Trade Towers and the Pentagon, yet all
of us have been affected. Most students at UMD are of a generation of complete security, and have seen nothing like
September 1 1 before. No matter what happens as a result of these tragedies, this day will be with us always as a defining
moment in our lives. So, this year, more than any other, the focus is on unity and togetherness. As President Bush
declared, "Americans have resolve", and we will push on, but we will do it as one nation indivisible, under God.

This plaque adorned the original Star Store, Opened In
1898 as a dry goods store, it grew into a successful
department store and was a symbol of elegance for the
city. For decades it stood as the anchor of the downtown
New Bedford business district.

On September 5, a crowd gathered around the Star Store building in downtown New Bedford to witness the opening of
the new visual arts campus. The building itself is a historic landmark, which has been closed since 19S4.it now houses
studios for painting, ceramics and sculpture, as well as two art galleries and a mini-campus belonging to Bristol Communit}'
College. Students will enjoy private studio-style cubicles, state-of-the-art technology, more space than ever offered before and
\Aill be in the middle of New Bedford's cultural district.

At the Grand Opening of the Star Store, Chancellor Jean MacCormack said of the project, "Establishing the University's
premiere art program in the heart of New Bedford's cultural district is absolutclv ideal for UMass Dartmouth, as well as for the
cit\'...our faculty and students in this stunning facility will be woven into the city's tapestr\', brilliant threads interwoven with
those of other cultural institutions, the public schools and the civic life of the community."

The Star Store project undeniably marks one small step for the city of New Bedford, one giant step for the UMD community,
but it is only one of the man)' in store for the university. Others include an Advanced Technology & Manufacturing Center in
Fall River, a pair of 400-bed dormitories and a new Charlton College of Business facility on the UMD campus. With the
expectation that student enrollment will more than double m tlie next 10 years, expansion is both necessary and eagerl}' awaited.

Number 5, sophomore Alberto Rodriguez, stands ready for the offense. UMD won the fHomecoming gome, beating Bridgewater State College 43-13.

Autumn Air

II atrick Fernsten and Angela Frietas were crowned king and queen at this year's Homecoming
celebration. There could not be a more suitable couple to represent what UMD is all
about. Angela, class of 2002's president all four years, member of Student Senate and an RA
for three years, captures the spirit of leadership and beauty. "To be quite honest, I was surprised.
I really just did it for the organization I was raising money for... The Make A Wish Foundation."
This year, royalty was chosen based upon the charities they hoped to support by winning as well as
other merits such as campus involvement.

Patrick, known by most as "Puck", is also a symbol here at the University. A fun-loving, energetic,
leader, Puck chose to sponser the Susan G. Coleman Breast Cancer Foundation. Said Frietas, "Fve
known Puck since our Freshman Orientation - he's very active here at UMass... President of his
fraternity... Always known as a fun person, always there to help".

The parade kicked off the festivities, making its way around Ring Road, candy thrown out to
by-standers. At 1 o'clock, the football game between UMD and Bridgewater State College began.
The Corsairs beat Bridgewater 43 to 13, as crowds of alumni and students cheered them on.
Homecoming is an important weekend for alumni - the tent set up for them outside of the football
stadium saw many former Corsairs catching up and enjoying the beautiful autumn day.

Howard Glasser

^atHe^itHCR

Before trendy coffeehouses were popular for their
appreciation of live music, professor fHoward Glasser
brought Celtic and folk music to UMD in a similar format.
Starting bock in the 1970s, Glasser organized monthly
meetings called ceilidhs that brought together a diverse
group that enjoyed the sounds of a music deeply rooted
in tradition; a magical mix of old and new from musicians
who had a way with a fiddle or unique telling of a tale
through song. These close-knit get-togethers led to an
annual festival that brought musicians from all over the
world to perform. Called Eisteddfod, a Welsh word
for "the coming together and sitting down of bards
and minstrels," the event displayed music of ages post.
The annual Eisteddfod brought out everyone from
students to janitors and administrators to be together
and enjoy the sounds. Closeted musicians were known
to shine, and the "open mic" atmosphere was perfect
for those not musically inclined but who simply enjoyed
listening.

fHomecoming weekend this year sow a reunion of
Eisteddfod musicians, as well as a special retrospective
exhibit of Professor Glosser's work.

I he Campus Activin' Board (CAB) brought

_JL- something new to UMD this vear. While
thev held many fun one-time events, the year long
Comedo" Series provided students with something to
look forward to on a regular basis.

Student organizer of the events, junior Mark Sees,
said, "CAB's mission is to put on events that students
will enjov and to give campus life a little boost.
Sometimes you look around and there's not much to
do, we just tr\' to provide something to do that is
inexpensive that the}' can have a good time at. The
comed}' series is free to the students." Rather than
having just one event, CAB made the smart decision
to make it a series to encourage a good turnout and
build a following. Said Sees, "We run the series every
two weeks, to put some regularity into it, [so that]
students think 'Thursday night' and know they can
head over to the Campus Center for the show."

"This vear we stuck with local comedians. The
biggest guys are Craig Carmean and Dave Russo.
Craig was voted 'Comedian of the Year' in the college
market, and Dave is animated, hysterical and has a veiy
distinct view of the world. They are two of the more
popular acts that we booked," commented Sees.

They trv to look at the student body and provide
diversitv in their acts. "Two weeks ago, on national
coming out day, we had gay, lesbian and transvestite
comedians and the event was co-sponsored by the
Pride Alliance. We try to keep up with student
interests," said Seese.

Originally slated for just the fall semester, the series
was quite successful, with an additional series added
for the spring.

CAB COMEDY SERIES -

All Hallow's Eve

Always a popular Halloween tradition
is Twenty Cent Fiction's perfor-
mance of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
The show, put on by UMD's alternative drama
club is a cult classic, which drew many people
to the auditorium in Group 6. Some were there
to watch the show and enjoy the actors sing
along with the movie, projected in the back-
ground, while other members of the audience
got on stage to take part.

Students weren't just enthusiastic about
Rocky Horror the night of October 31, but
many students wore Halloween costumes
around campus and into classes during the day.

Once postponed by the tragic events of September 1 1 , producer
and director Brent Scarpo was finally able to present his film
"Journey to a Hate Free Millennium" to the UMD community on
October 29. Through this award-winning documentary Mr. Scarpo
spreads his message of peace to students all over the country, seeking
solutions to the horrible hate crimes that have become frequent events
in our daily lives.

This moving film featured stories of intolerance and hate through
the stories of Matthew Shepard, a gay college student who was
violently murdered, James Byrd, Jr., an African American man who
was dragged to death, and the tragedy of the Columbine High School
shootings. Scarpo's aim was to bring about discussion and action
from learning about these hate crimes. In his talk before and after
the film, Scarpo pleaded not simply for tolerance, but inclusion; that
we work to find answers and make hate crime something unseen in
this new millennium.

As students exited the event, Scarpo provided thimbles to each
attendee. During his talk he used a thimble as metaphor, one he
learned learned at a young age, as his mother's gift to him upon
graduation was a simple silver thimble. She sent him off for a new
life 3,000 miles away from home, having the comfort that if he filled
his thimble with "love, care and self-respect" he would always be safe.
Scarpo used the metaphor to explain the actions of others; those who
commit heinous hate crimes have thimbles too, but theirs are empty.

Journey to a Hate Free Millenium

Mystical a, r t S of Tibet

Keeping traditions alive through the ritual performance of
sacred music and dance, the monks of the Drepung Loseling
Monastery travel the globe providing engaging entertainment,
as well as educating students to the plight of the Tibetan people.

On November 8, the Tibetan monks presented a show of 1 1
acts, each displaying a different colorful and dramatic display
of their heritage and culture.

The performers are from a monastery established in Tibet in
the early 1400s. The invasion of the Chinese Communists in
the 1950s left the monastery in ruins and forced the monks to
India, as has been the sad story of thousands of people in
Chinese-occupied Tibet. To be able to develop and share their
traditions serves as a victory to the Tibetan people, and is a
fascinating experience for us here at UMD.

^% tudent Senate carried on tradition by hosting
W^_>^ the annual Senior Citizen's HoHday Party on
December 1; this December marking the 31st year
this event has been held.

The Senate headed up the event, with help from
Sigma Tau Gamma, Stop & Shop as well as the
Gerontology department.

With help from student sentators. Chancellor
MacCormack and other volunteers, many turkey
dinners were provided to the gathered crowd. Along
with a good meal, the guests enjoyed festive music
and dancing, provided by a group known as the Nu
Sounds.

The afternoon began with a few words from the
chancellor, as well as special guests: State Senator Joan
Menard, the Mayor of Fall River Ed Lambert, and Teva
Smith, the president of the UMD Student Senate.

With the Holidays just around the corner, it was a
perfect wav to gear up for the season, as well as a
chance for students to say "hello" to a part of the
community that many at UMD seldom get a chance
to spend time with.

drumming and dance study. In the main auditoruim, members of
Professor royal hartigan's African Drumming Class along with visiting
professionals in the durmming and dance arts presented a mezmerizing show
capturing the pure essence of Africa. Senior Mandy Fraser, a member of the
drumming class, commented, "To be a part of it was a moving experience; I
have never achieved that level of energy doing anything else. It's hard to put
into words. Just beautiful."

Under Construction

I he incoming Freshman Class of 2002 will be largest ever for our campus. In anticipation
^ of this, the University and the Building Authority are working togethe*" to build more
Residence Hall space. Construction of Building #1 and Building #2 (they will be named at a
later date) began in September with the targeted completion date schedule for this August.

The new buildings will have air conditioning, a first for any of our Residence Halls. Also
new will be the creation of Learning Communities for the Honors and Impulse programs. In
addition, the Women's Resource Center and the International Student Affairs Program will be
moving in as well.

This new construction heralds the next phase of growth and construction for the campus.
There are plans for a new building for the School of Business which will begin construction
within the new future.

With all of this construction on campus, life here was altered in many ways. We had to share
the roads with construction equipment, work crews started work early in the morning, which
replaced the need for an alarm clock and parking on campus was thrown in chaos. However, as
we watched the steady progress, we knew that things were getting better. Only if they had
been built 4 years earlier...

Make Tbem I

On Thursday, April 25th, busses carrying 500 UMass Dartmouth students left the campus to participate in the
Save UMass rally outside the Statehouse in Boston. In all, roughly 1,000 students and faculty members
represented UMass Dartmouth, making them the biggest group from any single university. Many students
remained at the Statehouse after the rally to lobby their senators and representatives into supporting public higher
education.

Tom Juravich, director of the Labor Center at UMass Amherst and professional singer acted as emcee for the event.
He greeted the crowd by shouting, "We're here to celebrate UMass and public higher education in Massachusetts." He
called the legislature's cutes an "injustice." Juravich stated, "We're here to put them on notice that v^e're listening."
Before introducing the first speaker he got the crowd excited by stating, "I don't know about you, but I'm feeling
pretty angry right now."

Juravich then introduced Bob Haynes, president of the AFL-CIO. Haynes began by asking, "How many of you are
registered to vote?" After an uproar from the audience Haynes continued while pointing at the Statehouse, "Talk to
the people in there." He called the budget "foolhardy" and said he legislature is "cutting the heart and soul out of our
state." He wrapped up by telling students to "educate the politicians."

UMass Dartmouth Student Trustee Rafael Leonor addressed the crowd after Haynes. He began by discussing the
history oj rallies, and how they have been a positive force for public higher education. He said, "The state legislature
and governor cut public higher education by $70 million this year, the largest cut of any state." Leonor then used his
own story to illustrate how difficult coping with these cutes will be for students. In closing he created a new chant for
the crowd: "Have the guts to stop the cuts!"

UMD students Rachel Lapointe and Chrissy McNally stepped up to the podium at the same time. LaPointe stated

I^V enouned literary critic, Sterling Professor of Humanities at Yale University, Berg Professor of English at New York
M. ^JJniversity and author of more than 20 books, Harold Bloom was conferred with the honor Doctor of Humane
Letters, Honris Causa on April 12''\ 2002.

The ceremony also featured Nobel Laureate recipient Dr. Jose Saramago; on hand to congratulate Bloom and to share his
admiration for this renouned figure with everyone m attendance. "We are doubly blessed to have Jose Saramago with us to
dedicate Bloom," said Jean MacCormack, UMD's chancellor. Saragamo remarked that bloom has, "proposed for us not a
map, fixed for all times, but a sensitive compass. As he understands it, a book is a magnetic field in which vibrates perpetually
the searching needle of the one who has written it and in which will vibrate, each time, the searching needle of the one who
reads it."
Bloom's passion for the written word is evident in his works, and he is a very noble advocate for public libraries. "We need
to keep the libraries alive in bad times," said Bloom. He talked at length about the roll that public libraries played in his life
when he was young. Because he read everything on the shelves he was able to mature from a curious child into a highly
respected critic and educator.

After the ceremony he gave a lecture on his book Atlantic Sublime. Many were there to hear Bloom speak about his book
about three important writers, including a personal favorite of his, Walt Whitman.

Bloom's presence showed once again the opportunities that students are given in a university environment to have contact
with some of the world's greatest minds.

Critical Praise

Wisdom meets Youth

T T

I I Mass DartniDutli was tlic liost of the 1 7"'' Annual Conference

%^ J of Tlie Islamic Council of New England on April TI''^\ It
N\"as a time to pra\', meet witfi others of the Muslim faith, and was a
terrific opportunity- for those not of the faith to learn about more
about it. It featured Dr. Omar Khalil, who is the adviser of the
UMass Dartmouth Islamic Society, and he opened the series of
lectures. With the conference's title of, "Guiding Light: Defining
the Future of Our Children as Muslim Youth in Western Societies,"
Dr. Khalil's words asked, "what shall we do to help our daughters
and sons?" Chancellor MacCormack spoke of the prospects that
this day might bring to Islamic children, offering, "The wisdom of
those with experience had the opportunity to meet with the
imagination of youth."

The day of lectures featured many prominent figures of Islamic
study and theology, including Dr. Liyakat Takim, who is a Professor
of Islamic Studies at the University of Toronto, and Dr. Tariq
Ramadan, who is a Professor of Religion and Philosophy at the
University of Freiburg and the College of Geneva. Each speaker
covered a different topics. Topics included, "Islam, Muslim Youth
and World Peace", "Social Problems and Pressures Facing Muslim
Youth", and "Outstanding Achievements of Muslim Youth in
America".

The day was a success, and it was an honor to have such an event at
our university.

I magine being in the city of Boston on a clear, starry night
_JL at Faneuil Hall. As you walk and talk with a loved one, you
notice the world around you slowly pass by. A violinist plays near a
packed cafe, as the young and the old dance on the cobblestone
walkway. Just another peaceful, joyous, vivacious night "Under the
Stats" in Boston.

On April 5th, glitz, glamour, and romance filled the evening at the
Boston Park Plaza Hotel. Five hundred fifteen people strolled into
the hotel in evening wear as they drifted up the stairs to hear the
tunes from the jazz band Times Five coming from the Stanbro Room
as the social/cocktail hour of the evening began. Others headed to
the Hancock Room, where photographers were taking pictures as
part of the favor package. The other part of the favor package included
picture frames that matched the matte and the photograph everyone
received. Add a little wine and dine, and the perfect evening was set
up.

The evening may have ended a little carl\", but lasted double the
amount the previous year. The Campus Activities Board is, after all,
a group of volunteer students that puts on cx'cnts for the student
body, and is currently a work in progress in perfecting the
programming board.

I his year the Campus Activities Board (CAB) organized another successful, sold-out spring
A ■ concert. Mutli-platinum, Def Jam recording artist Ludacris rocked the UMass Dartmouth Tripp
Athletic Center on Saturday, May 4, 2002.

The night started off with music by UMass's, DJ KB, one of the winners of the "Battle of the Bands/
DJ's" contest held the previous week. Busted Fro followed DJ KB and kept the audience moving with
an explosive rap and break dance act. After they "rolled out," Ludarcis "rolled in" and controlled the
2000 plus crowd while performing songs such as "Roll Out," "Coming to America," "Welcome to
Atlanta," and "Southern Hospitality."

The hard work of the all-volunteer staff helped everyone get their money's worth and have a great
time. Ludacris will be added to the legacy of performers brought to UMass Dartmouth including The
Mighty-Mighty Bostones, Busta Rymes, Outkast & The Roots, and Three-Doors Down. Sponsored in
part by the Scrimshaw Yearbook, CAB's "Spring Concert 2002" will be remembered as one of the most
successfully-coordinated concerts in UMass Dartmouth history. There may not have been a better way
to end the year. If you missed this show, you missed out!

% onvocations are the most ceremonious of occasions at a

was complete with all of the spectacle of such formal University
gatherings which celebrate the University and its students.

Like Commencement, which celebrates the fulfillment of degrees,
and the Convocation in September that opens the academic year, the
Honors Convocation continues the tradition of officially honoring
the achievements of UMD students. The procession into the main
auditorium saw administration and faculty in full regalia for the
occasion. After Chancellor MacCormack greeted the audience of
students, their families, and many members of our UMD community,
Meghan Wayman read her Honors Award winning essay, "Odysseys
Body, Mind and Spirit."

George Monteiro, a Brown University Professor, delivered the
keynote address, entitled "The Education of Anthony Junior,"

High honors were given to many students who have maintained
high GPAs, including Sheila Doherty, who majored in Sociology.
Anthropology but took on a political science major as well. She
maintained a perfect 4.0 GPA. With a GPA of 3.91, senior Kristen
Greene was awarded for athletic scholarship.

As the gathering came to a close, over 200 students were officially
recognized for their academic achievement, and a standing ovation
celebrated their academic success perfectly.

There are thousands of students, faculty and staff on this
campus. Everyone comes from a different background, has
different interests and we know that they all have a story to
tell. We have taken this opportunity to highlight some of the
people that make UMD such an interesting place. Some faces
here are familiar, others are new, but we hope that on the
following pages you will learn a little more about some of the
people that have made a difference at UMD, in their jobs,
classes and our University community.

John J. DePina III

[Student Leader, Entrepreneur]

I entered this university a short, thin, lost, young man, and I came out still a short, thin, but experienced, educated and successful leader. When I enrolled in
UMass Dartmouth I didn't know how drastically my life would change. Probably none of my teachers or peers whom I left behind in my hometown of Whitman,
MA would have anticipated that I would or could have accomplished what I have today. From 1997 to 2002, I completed a degree in both Business
Information Systems ond Marketing, was elected President for 2 terms of one of the most recognized and significant student organizations on campus, and
opened a fuiltime-operotional insurance agency.

Although hardly involved in extracurricular activities in high school, I found new interest in a different atmosphere with different people. I joined various
student associations with the encouragement of administrators and friends, particularly Leroy Redley who brought me to my first United Brother & Sisters (UBS)
meeting. I eventually began working with numerous other organizations and institutions including the Frederick Douglas Unity hiouse (FDUH), Cape Verdean
Student Association (CVSA), the United Latino Society (ULS), and Recruitment & Retention Task Force. Although I was involved with a variety of groups on
campus, my fascination with the production of large concerts and dances motivated me to commit to the Campus Activities Board (CAB), in which I was
involved for four years. Moreover, I wanted to make a difference since my peers and I found few events that CAB organized either appealing or diverse.
I held four different positions on CAB and in one way or another, helped coordinate approximately 250 events. As a freshman, I held my first
programming position, and began working on concerts, dances, and comedy shows. I became the president of CAB in the fall of 2000, when drastic changes
to the organization were needed. The organization did not hove on advisor until the end of fall, and I had to lead the entire group alone. I was elected
president for a second year, the fall of 2001. I remained responsible for managing a large budget and directed a high volume of programs and with the
assistance of members, Jamie Jacquart and other administrators, CAB managed to overcome many obstacles and made progress in restructuring the
organization.

Besides working with student organizations, I had other importont responsibilities such as completing a double major. I entered the university os o BIS major
but soon found interest in advertising and public relations. I decided to pursue a second degree in marketing through the challenge of selling-out dances and
concerts sponsored by CAB. I also took advantage of some of the study abroad programs offered at UMD. In the summer of 2001, I participated in the
German Business Seminar through which I learned more about international management, trade, and German culture. This trip inspired me to join the UMD
International Business Association (IBA). As member of the IBA, I participated in the Gverseos Task Force class that traveled to Costa Rica and Mexico to
conduct marketing research.

During my junior year of college, I became a certified insurance agent. Soon after, I opened DePina Insurance Agency to help finance my tuition. I was able
to run the agency while pursuing my studies and other activities, with the help of family members and a reliable staff.

Although I am just 22 years old, I feel I like I've hod a lifetime of experiences. The day I started college seems like yesterday. I will miss all of my friends,
the faculty, and administration of UMass Dartmouth. You hove all meant a great deal to me and you have played an important role in my life. I learned so
much during my time here, and I thank everyone who has taught and supported me. My last words to oil of you at UMD is - Life is short, take advantage
of every opportunity you possibly con! In the words of Frederick Douglass, If there is no struggle, there is no progress." Work hard and you will succeed.

I want to give special thanks to God and all of those who hove inspired me. I could not have done it with out you. To: My parents - John and Brendo
DePina & family, Carol Rose, Jonathon Gomes, Bruce Sparfvin, Dr. Gordon, Ross Grace, Marjorie Fernondes, George Smith, Raymond Barrows, Dr. Logon,
Jamie Jacquart, Michael Laliberte, Tanaya Walters, Susan Costa, Loretta Milliken, Jonathon Redley, CAB, UBS, CVSA, ULS, FDUH, College Now, & Yearbook.
To my friends still struggling, best of wishes and don't give up. If I succeeded; you con!

Cimstopher Laib

[friend, resident director]

I am honored to be o contributor to this yearbook. I om particularly connected to this year's graduates, as they were the first class of new students
that I encountered and worked with when I came to UMD. I was the Resident Director (one of the first three Resident Directors ever at UMass
Dartmouth) in 3B for two years, and then I moved down to Cedar Dell West and continued in my role as Resident Director.

Over the years I have found that staying active on campus has been very important. Because of this, I have tried to reach beyond the Resident
Director position and venture into other areas of Student Affairs. I've worked with the New Student Orientation Program and was instrumental in
the creation of the Office of Greek Affairs, and I want to continue to stay active and work with as many students as possible. I have always been
fulfilled by watching students grow over the course of their time in college.

I never imagined that I would be working in Massachusetts, much less as a Resident Director, For the longest time I wanted to work in some
capacity in on overseas embassy. All of that changed for me when I took one of the required Political Science courses in my undergraduate studies.
I found it boring, ond I really didn't enjoy it. It probably didn't help much that the class met MWF from 3:00-4:00 pm during the Spring Semester.
After my first year, I changed my major to Secondary Education/French with a Spanish minor. It seemed like a natural fit since my father taught for
30 years and my mother also worked in the school system. It took me six years to get through college, but during that time I hod many life changing
experiences. Most notable was the semester spent backpacking through 14 different European countries. When I come back to the US. it was time
for me to do my student teaching. It was while student teaching that I realized that the 6:30am to 3:30pm lifestyle wasn't for me. I had been a
Resident Assistant at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls for four year and the next logical step was for me to become a Hall Director. Prior to
coming to UMD in '98, I worked for two years at Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio as a Hall Director and Interim Coordinator for Greek
Affairs.

As for my career goals, I hove absolutely no idea what lies ahead. I am currently working on my Masters Degree in Management at Bridgewater
State College. I'd like to continue working in higher education but may also venture into the corporate world.

My advice to students is to always get involved on campus, whether you are a resident or commuter student find your niche. Students need to
trust in themselves, trust what they ore doing, trust the decisions that they moke, and know that it is all part of a learning experience. Everyone at
UMD (faculty, staff and administrators) are available to help and we are committed to helping you succeed.

I want to wish the graduating class the best of luck in their future endeavors. Don't be afraid to venture out of New England, No matter how for
away from New England you get, you ore never more than a car, bus, train or plane ride home. Take it from me, a "Cheesehead" from Wisconsin,
our country is a beautiful place with a lot of interesting things to show you. It's your responsibility to get out there and discover them!

eather Corbett

[tour guide, friendly face]

I was introduced to the idea of being a tour guide freshman year when I lived with a few
experienced tour guides who liked to show my room. Besides that, I thought it would be a neat way
to overcome shyness. Three years later, the trick worked. I hove overcome shyness and feel more self-
confident, especially in front of large groups of people.

Although the job has a lot of positive aspects, there are quirks to the position. There are the fall-
outs, blunders, mistakes and random occurrences- with almost every tour. One of my most embarrassing
moments on tour was at the library. In the quietest place on campus in front of about 10 kids and their
parents, I fluttered over the word function. In stead of the eight-letter word, I blurted out the four-
letter curse word. Another red-faced moment was setting off the alarm of the computer lab in Group
6 at 9:30 on a Saturday morning. Imagine what the police thought!

I am not the only one on tours to make random comments. Parents accompanying their sons/
daughters are very concerned about where their child is going the following year. A few have asked,
"Are the rooms co-ed?" Or more commonly, "What's the drinking age on this campus?" The most
obvious common sense questions, like these, I would rather not answer.

As senior illustration major, I have other involvements with dubs/octivities and achievements including:
Art History Minor, hlonors program. Women's Lacrosse, Stage Band, Pep Bond, Concert Band, tHonors
Committee, Dean's List, work was featured twice in the Standard Times, and part-time work. Next
year, I wont to continue my education in Savannah to earn o Masters in Illustration. Years to come, I
see myself teaching and doing part-time freelance illustrations.

I am on the verge of my twenty-second birthday. I have seen the
sun rise over the moorlands of Scotland, wisps of clouds break carelessly
from the structured facade of the Coliseum, the dirt and foundations
that tossed the world into atomic warfare, and the sun set against the
wine-blood of France. One always has the opportunity for growth;
my most recent spurt came in the guise of foreign study.

After three years at this university I set out for Nottingham-Trent
University with the greatest intentions of consuming the world, its flaws
and triumphs, in order to create a better me and spent eight months
realizing that the better me peeked back from the looking gloss each
morning and song off key in the shower. I met many students with
personalities at such extremes my superficial imitations of them quickly
tired and my previously disclosed epiphany came in the form of a
never-empty pint glass.

When I got home, comfortable with everything I hod grown into, I
developed twelve rolls of film. On those twelve rolls of film, I appeared
in two pictures. While writing this brief piece I thought about why my
image was so sparse. The most important aspects of those eight
months were the people that taught me being myself was the best
person to be, the places that I con still see when I close my eyes, and
the world that exists beyond our borders.

One my own I learned possibly the most important rule by which
anyone seeking to be happy should abide: the unending quest for
acceptance begins with the person you spend the most time with.
Yourself.

I went down with a medical team to Honduras lost summer. We rented trucks filled with supplies and
helped the people out down there. I heard about it from o professor here - it was through a program
with the company Cope Cores, started about 20 years ago. It was on incredible experience, I wanted
to go down to see the culture too. It was a wild time, you can't drink the water, we ate what we
managed to kill each day. The people of Honduras ore o great people. It's hot down there, and you
worry about a lot, but it was so rewarding.

I knew I wanted to go into nursing in high school. My mom's a nurse, a single mom, too. We had foster
kids in the house that needed nurses...! just grew up around them and knew I wanted to do that.

We have o great Nursing program here at UMD, one of the best in New England. I went to
Northeastern for a little bit, but found UMass a better fit. It's a demanding program though. We go to
doss two days o week, and spend two full days working at the hospital. I'm a nurse tech in Woymouth,
there I hove to handle CPR, trauma, codes, a little bit of everything. The program is hard and you feel
a bit isolated from the rest of kids on campus, only being here two days o week. You feel like you miss
a lot, especially senior year, but it is all work it, I'm doing what I really want to do.

Nursing is really here at UMD cause you're with your classmates all the time and you get to know the
professors really well too, we're o close knit major. There are starting to be more guys in the program
too, which is great to see. There are only about 4 or 5 in my class, but there are many in the sophomore
and junior years. People hove to get it out of their heads that its only a female job.

I first went to Alaska the summer after freshman year, not knowing what I was getting myself into. I've been back every
summer since, with my share of experiences. I can't seem to stay away. I love graphic design, but I feel like everyone spent the
summer months working in offices, but I was watching whales breach and glaciers calve. I figure I have the rest of my life to
work in on office. I did try to find ways to apply my skills, though. I noticed that I could tie knots fairly well, so maybe that was
an exercise of my artistic ability. And I painted a lot of signage on the boat.

I was the only girl on the deck staff, which taught me that basically I had to work super hard every single day, because if
I ever let up, I think I'd be off the boat. I carry that into my schoolwork, especially now in my senior year. If I do let up, there
is olways someone right behind me. I work with a small crew, sometimes my graphic design peers remind me of that. Some
days ore good; some days are bad. We always work together, and I depend on them for opinion, inspiration, and support. . .same
with my professors here. They hove constantly encouraged me to do the crazy things I do.

I think everyone should spend a summer there. You'd be surprised to find that waking up at 5:30 in the morning everyday
in Aloska is a whole nicer experience than trying to make an 8:00 class. And eating fresh salmon everyday isn t so bod either.
A lot of people ask me what I'll do when I graduate, and I don't really know yet. I may just end up getting my captain's license
and setting up a design studio in crew quarters..

[international student, resident assistant]

I came over from Russia about five years ago. I came here all by
myself and stayed with a host familv in Kansas. All I could say
was "yes" and "no". But being somewhat young I was able to pick
up English quickly. But I did have some trouble... one time I went
into a store asking for change, and all I said was "can I get some. . ."
and then I paused and remembered that I forgot to ask for change.
The woman looked at me and I was holding two dollars.

I like being an RA, but you do have to be very responsible. It's
not all fun; first semester I had lots of phone calls from my residents
early in the morning. Also first semester was difficult because I
was taking 7 classes and was working 10 hours a week as a tutor in
the Business and Math Center. I am a finance major, and plan on
coming back here after graduation for my MBA. It is nice at UMass
Dartmouth, I have never felt out of place because we have a lot of
international students here, and also I have no problem interacting
with Americans.

MANDY FRASER [manager,, a r t , s t ]

^^^m

This year I was given the great opportunity of managing Campus Design. Campus
Design does advertisements for both on and off campus events; banners, posters, flyers,
table tents, etc. I worked here as a sophomore and last year as a staff artist. Then I was
offered this position of manager in spring of 2001.

It's a great place to get a taste of the real world involving art and the business of art. It
gives students the chance to see their art hanging around the school, have it be their flyers
all around the campus or a banner that they did hanging in the Commuter Cafe.

Being the manager gave me the chance to not only understand the business side of the art
world, but to build a staff and be an art director as well.

This year we had on staff Lauren Jepsen, a graphic design major, Keely Ruckcr, graphic
design, Kelly Clark, illustration major, Doug MacCormack, illustration, and Nikki Haitt,
painting major. Having this diverse staff enabled me to give assignments based on eveiyone's
individual style and talent. This year was exciting because we had a bigger staff second
semester and also a much needed bigger office. It was a living and learning experience and
everyone did a great job. We all worked hard but never lost sight of having fun.

RD GLASSER [typogr

apner, proressor

I was once told by a college dean that, "we are not in the education business... we collect fees and dispense credits and degrees."
That dean had no idea why the University, the College or why he was here. I am pleased to report that when I asked the current dean who he
thought he worked for he quickly answered, "the students." Yes, the teaching faculty, deans and administrators (clerks) all work for the students. As I see
it we, the faculty, are not here to teach courses but rather to teach students. We hove been carefully screened and selected to accept the responsibility
to instruct and to guide. The instructors responsibility is to the student. The chairmen, deans and clerks (administrators) work is to provide what the
instructors require to do their work for the students. The students role in this perspective is the most difficult. It means that students study with individual
teachers, each of whom has something unique to pass on. This is a time to question authority and to recognize that respect must be earned. The
administrators and faculty must be accountable to the students. The student must have a serious thirst for knowledge and must learn to use the resources
of the University. It con and should be an exciting quest. This is a State University, therefore the Legislature and the Governor must be held accountable
for the education of the Commonwealth, as well. The student is the boss and nothing can happen without their consent. The artificial separation of science
from history or music and the other "subjects"" as o teaching convenience has distracted us from the fact that human experience is all one subject. It is up
to the student to reunite them and to find their own comfortable notch among them. It is my wish for you that you continue your role as a student and
find enrichment and new challenges in your life's work.

Carroll Chase

[student, ins p i r a t i o n ]

This means a great deal to me. . . I was a terrible high school
student. . .skipping school. . .a real party girl. . .and I paid for it
dearly the next fifty years. Finally, I decided that I wanted to
go bock... col lege would have been wasted on me if I hod
gone fifty years ago. The war hod come. World War II, ond
it was a very exciting time in some ways for a young person.
A woman was expected to morry and have a family, which
I did, but I have wanted a degree for a long time.

I quit work when I was 71. I was working in mental health
and substance abuse. I spent about eight years in that field. . . I
have been in many fields. I was a copy writer in an advertising
agency, an inside soles person in a large corporation, a research
writer... different things as I went through life. I enjoyed
everything, but I'm not real good with figures, mathematics. I
like to write.

I don't know what else I would do with myself if I weren't
going to school... I like the young people here, they are very
kind to me. I spend a lot of time here and I feel at home. I just
wish I hod a bed here, occasionally, when I am waiting for a
computer room to open. I could jump in there and take a nop.
I'm afraid if I fell asleep like the young people do, they'd think
I'm dead . . . roll me over to see if I'm breathing.

I think that I probably hove a greater appreciation of what
I'm working toward here thon the young people... I didn't
hove the option to go to college when I was young. I was a
Depression child, so if anybody went, it would have been my
older brother. I will be the first one of my family to get a
degree. . . I oppreciote the knowledge, the education the most,
because I never hod it growing up.

My memory is not completely there. . . I haven't lost myself
yet, but the memory is not what it used to be. I find that I
have to read things over and over again to remember it oil.
I hate the blue [exam] book. When I write, I like to revise and
rewrite. . .you can't do thot with a blue book. Sometimes you
read something you've written and tear it up and throw it
away. You can't do that with a blue book, not that I haven't
wanted to.

I'm not a porty animal any more... those days ore over. I
barely ever miss o class now. I am very dedicated. This means
so much to me. It's like that one thing that you have olways
really, really wanted and you hove the opportunity and you
just con't poss it up, even though sometimes I think that I can't
do it, or I make a ridiculous statement in class and think, I can't
believe I soid that"... but I'm usually forgiven and it passes.

107

I guess I got involved with the Torch almost by accident. Two of my suitemates were on the design staff and they told me that the
paper needed a new Managing Editor and that I should stop by. It was intimidating at first because I just walked in off the street and
was included in the vote for the job, and I got it.

In the spring, the Editor-in-Chief left for England for the semester, and I was next in line to take over. It was crazy at first. I didn't
even know how to check my voicemoii. But gradually I started to get a hold of things. Luckily, a good part of the staff had been there
for a few years, and I was friends with some of them, so they helped me out a lot.

We made a lot of changes lost year. After some incidents that nearly everyone on campus can't seem to forget, the Torch hod a
bit of a rut to dig themselves out of. But we gained a lot of new staff members, mode a lot of changes to the look of the paper, and
started to improve. I think we've improved a lot since a few years ago. The staff is very close-knit and willing to help out with
problems we have, and a lot of people are motivated to help make the paper better, which makes my job a lot easier.

"The King and I" was my first play here, I played Tup Tim. Doing theater at
UMD you meet so many new people and get into doing things off campus.
For instance I have done stuff for Little Theater of Fall River... I know people
who do theater oil over, it's great. I've done o million plays, and even now
when I do an audition I am just as nervous as I was for my first audition. Even
here at UMD, where we audition around people we know.

Some roles I just try to take the script, in one night try to learn it. I hide it
from myself. Other times I hove it with me always, all the way up until the end.
Very few characters have I felt very connected to. But when we did "A
Chorus Line" where I played Cassie, it was a part that I really related to and
I hod to fight the director to get the part... but I got it. That show was so
demanding, mentally and physically... turned me into a frickin' gymnast.

My first on-stage kiss was my best friend... it was like kissing my brother.
The most embarrassing thing that happened to me was when I was in "Forum"
lost year. I slid across the stage and fell on my face, that was really emborassing,
we were running around the house and I just went down.

I do a lot of behind the scenes stuff too, tickets and dealing with confused
people who can't find the auditorium, organize the costumes, try to moke sure
everything is going right.

My freshman year, I came in and played hockey, field hockey, the only real
hockey to me. Freshman year, I started of mid-field, hod o few bumps along the
way sophomore year, and then progressed through junior and senior year. I
learned a lot about team dynamics and the fun of just hanging out. It's such a
good opportunity to play sports at division three because you con focus more on
academics, and without a lot of pressure, you con hove fun with it and often
moke friendships that will really last. Things are so toned down that you don't
hove to always be thinking about field hockey.

I just wont to do as much as possible - I did theatre for a while, then I tried
Student Senate, I was on the fHonors Committee, sports stuff, and eventuolly I
got so stressed that I just had to get away, so I went to Italy for o semester. It
was the best time of my life. I decided to go because after my sophomore year,
I needed to take a big leap, o huge leap.

I'm a graphic design major... I like that UMoss has a diversity that reflects
real world dynamics, it's very true to life and honest. We're not trying to impress
anybody, were just who we ore here. Sometimes you have to dig, whether
you're completely bored or tired of what you re doing, or just looking for something
interesting, you con find it.

/^^r. James S^ars

/ / [retiring professor, landscape artist]

I've enpyed my 28 years on campus; I've enjoyed my research,
the students, and my participatory classes very much. I feel privileged
to hove been able to teach those classes. Most colleges hove the
grounds crews doing the landscaping...lt's unique to be given carte
blanche to vv'ork the way we'd like.

It started back in 1978 with a few biology students. We did
the area behind the Science and Engineering building, those trees
are huge now. . . The larger gardens hove been done in the last six
or seven years. Of course it is more than just me now, I have
worked with my collegue and wife Donna Huse, and Peter London
from the College of Visual and Performing Arts.

I always tell my students that they ore privileged to have a class
like this on their campus. In most classes a student gets a lot of
theory, but in these classes you get some theory, but students ore
able to install their works, and they leave something here, it's a
legacy. Similar classes at other schools work only on theory and
design. We attended a conference in Scotland, and professors
were asking us how we got our photos to look so life like. We hod
photos of actually planted designs, others hod only gotten as far as
computer renderings.

Beside learning biology they learn to work in groups, group
planning is a major learning experience

I used to do landscaping on my own. I did a few major
projects. But now I design something every now and again. I took
a year off from Landscape and Design class, and I worked with a
freshman class, we worked for a semester on the entrance to the
school. Before it was just the sign and that ugly guard shock. The
kids planted everything you see out there. We were able to get
the grounds crew to lay the stone walls, they had never done
anything like that before.

A wonderful thing about the classes is that the funding comes
from grants from President Bulger's Office, not from this campus'
budget. We get about $100,000 which allows us to do a lot.

These classes ore a real learning experience for the students.
They learn to work in groups. One year we were working in front
of the Campus Center, at the bus stop. Before we started working
the planter between the Campus Center and the Res Cafe was a
mess of cigarette butt...the kids had it all cleared out, hod large
rocks placed and planted all of the plants planted in four hours; it
was o tremendous team effort.

One project I'd like to see is a ring walk around Ring Road. We
have been thinking, too, about the area around the observatory.
Donna and I have been to England many times, touring the English
gardens, and they all hove a Greek Temple. Doesn't the observatory
look like a temple? It would be nice to work a patio for that area
and moke it into an English garden.

I'm staying on to do some landscaping and I'm looking forward
to working on painting. I'm a freshman again, in the Fine Arts
program.

Michael Vin

[Janitor, Manger

I started here at the Campus Center as a freshman, mopping floors, and then I was promoted to Assistant Operations
Manager holfwoy through sophomore year. Aside from class this has really been the only thing I have been involved with on
campus, but I love it. My co-workers have been my best friends here... we practically live in the building, but it's a great work
environment. We're laid bock, but were all about doing the job and doing the job right, and I think it shows. We've actually tripled
revenue of the Sunset Room this year. For the last yeor I have been running the entertainment at the bar, that's my thing. The
concert series this year was actually called 'Bushy's Bond Series', that cracks me up.

But we do so much more than run the bar and keep the center open and clean; conferences and lots of other events come
throught the Campus Center and we have to organize things for every event that takes place here. Also, my job entails
overseeing the crew that keeps the place running, maintenance and other workers, and then there's the financial side like running
the bar, keeping track of oil the money that comes through the building. We do most of the grunt work around here too; setting
up for events. We're here late a lot, cause after a Rott or any function that's at night we need to put it back the way it was.

We're starting an organization called the Campus Center Council.. We want to bring more students and organizations in to
use the center. People think about the center and just soy "plays in the auditorium and food in the cafe.' But so much else goes
on here, and we wont to get more people to take advantage of that.

This job has made me realize it's ok to be a manager. I like music and have been in bonds, but I'm better at managing them. You
go with your strengths, right? From working with the Lucy Little Band when they performed in the Sunset Room they actually
asked me to be their manger. But this job has been a real lesson in life, I feel like I'm coming away with two educations. It's been
a real crash course in "management" or "business administration". Its great.

Angela N. Frietas

[Senior Class President]

To The Graduating Class of 2002,

y congratulations and admiration is extended to all of you for your hard work, dedication and
perseverance during your time here at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Hopefully
you have made the best of the college experience and gained the invaluable lessons of wisdom,
independence, cultural diversity and unity that will remain with you through every endeavor brought forth.
UMass Dartmouth has been a place of practice for the future. It has allowed all of us to make knowledgeable
choices, as well as learn from our mistakes. Fortunately, most of the decisions came without a cost or a
consequence, so there was the opportunity to evaluate our performance in the process. We all taught each
other in some way or another about how to be a better person and professional.

The tragic events that took place on September 1 1^"", 2001 will live in us forever. One positive thing that
should come out of such a loss is that it will help us make smarter decisions in life since we now know we
are mortal beings that only have a certain amount of time here. It reminds us never to forget about what is
really important. We must enjoy all that life has to offer. We need to take time for ourselves and do the
things we dreamed of doing, without fear. This year has been enormously difficult for all of humanity and
I respect your strength and unwillingness to give up in these trying times. I know that you, the Class of
2002, will be able to weather any storm and overcome the most demanding obstacles life brings. This
generation is faced with many new challenges. Let's embrace it, fight for what we believe in, and set a
courageous example for younger generations to follow.

It has been an honor and privilege to serve as your Class President for the past four years. Each of you
has something extraordinary to offer this world. I encourage you to follow your heart and be your authentic
self. Someone once told me that if you believe in yourself, and one other person believes in you, you could
accomplish anything. Well, I truly believe in each and every one of you. It is time you gather all that you
have acquired from UMass Dartmouth and other places and make yourself a success.

Lastly, I want to thank my parents who have sacrificed everything for me, believed and invested in my
goals and dreams, stood by me in good and challenging times, and loved me unconditionally. They
continually amaze me with their love, strength, support, and faith. Without them, none of this would have
been possible. I would also like to thank the people who made this four-year journey at UMass Dartmouth
a memorable one. I am proud to have been a member of this community.

Farewell Class of 2002!

Respectfully,

Angela N. Freitas
Senior Class President

Colleee of Visual and Performm

The College of visual and performing arts trains the future's musicians, artists and designers.
Those interested in one of these programs must complete two daunting semesters of
"foundation" classes and many art history lectures on top of the requirements of their specialty.
This year, UMD opened the Star Store, located in downtown New Bedford. Here, many of
the students have studios where they do their work. The opening of the Star Store symbolizes
the recognition and consequently, the growth of these creative programs.

Michael Laliberte

EMPOWERING THE MASSES

"/ remember the dav I realized I wanted to work in higher
education. I was meeting with the person that coordinated the New
Student Orientation program at URI where I received my undergrad
education. I remember thinking to myself, this is a job?! You can get
paid to work with students everyday?! I knew I wanted to be a part of
that."

While Michael Laliberte graduated from URI with a bachelors
in Human Development and Counseling, he decided to pursue his dream
of working with college students. At Northeastern University in Boston,
Michael completed the Higher Education Administration program. He
recalls, however, that the most important things he learned were
discovered outside the classroom while working in the Student Affairs
office at Simmons College. There, he applied much of what he was
learning. While helping to plan a Mother-Daughter Weekend, he asked
these questions: "Why dp we do the same things every year?" Also, "What
do the studentswant to do?" The changes that were made to the program
based on student input were not only a success but they gave inspiration
to others to make changes if the need or desire was there, and to
incorporate student ideas into processes. This lesson has been the driving
force behind Michael's work since that day.

At Penn State Micliacl worked with various eultural, soeial, and aeademie groups to establish
housing based on speeial interests. As Assistant Dean at Springfield College, he eontinued to
empower students through New Student Orientation, Student Government and the Judicial Process.

Michael came to UMass Dartmouth in 1999, and his presence has been seen or felt by
virtuall)' ever)- student he has encountered. "His enthusiasm and willingness to help any student
she^ws in everything he does," praises Ed Slapik, senior. He oversees International Student affairs
\\ith Tina Bruen, Greek Life with Chris Laib, Student Activities with Jamie Jacquart, Judicial Affairs
^\'ith Lisa Evaneski, Theatre, Student Senate, Golden Key Honors Society and the New Student
Orientation Program. In all organizations, he encourages student leadership and he empowers
students to make changes they feel the student body wants. Rae O'Neal, Orientation Coordinator
for the 2001 program comments, "Michael is someone who lets you learn from experiences and
mistakes. He trusts you enough to make those mistakes. He has taught me a lot about myself and
my capabilities, and for that I thank him." Michael feels that the success of the programs he advises
is due to the students' innovation. "I just give them the opportunity to make the changes they feel
are necessary."

When Michael entered UMass, he aimed to create a place where students would feel welcome
and would be encouraged to talk and ask questions with administrators. This goal has been realized
through his work. "Michael has been my 'go-to' person throughout my college career," states
Nathan "Tak" Takavorian, President of Sigma Tau Gamma 2001 and Orientation Coordinator 2001.
While our community has hit a speed bump in the road to modernization and growth, Michael
promises that one thing will not change: the excellent services that the Division of Student Affairs
provides UMass students. As an advocate of student involvement and leadership, Michael's presence
is an inspiration for us all to maintain a positive attitude and strive to make improvements whenever
the opportunity arises.

In Memorium Brian Smith

We lost a great young man this
year when Brian Smith, a senior here
at UMD, was killed in a one car
crash. Below is the essay that gained
him admission to UMass
Dartmouth, and all who know him
say that it reads as "quintessential
Brian". His father read this at the
memorial service held on campus in
March, and it touched many people;
our thoughts are with his family and
friends.

1980-2002

when I was a child I wanted to be an astronaut. Every day I would make plans to build spaceships or read a book on the shuttle.
Later on, I realized that my dream to go up in my own spaceship would probably not happen and so I did the next best thing. It was
by accident that I borrowed the movie Return of the Jedi and launched my love of science fiction. Within several months, I had read
through all of the Star Wars' books and I had a fare share of the Star Wars collectibles For a while it was great. I would be riding
alongside of Luke and Han m the Millennium Falcon. I was going where they went and doing what they did. Something however,
was missing I could only follow them and not forge ahead for myself. That soon got me involved with RPG's or "role playing
games" with these games, we would act out different characters from Star Wars and have our own adventures. When my family got
their first computer, I quickly learned that with such games as Myst and other interactive puzzles, I could enjoy a world of my
creation. Soon I wanted more and more to make these games that gave me such enjoyment I started by making games for the TI-83
graphing calculator. It had a crude form of Basic that could be programmed into it. I found the limits however, to the calculators
programming abilities. That was when I started using the computer for programming. I bought a Borland C + + compiler. I did not
know how to use it and so I took a course at UMASS Dartmouth in C programming. It was a course for college credit and I got a
B + . Next, I started making web pages. After several months, I made over twenty pages that use close to 30 Megs on the web. I
wrote all the pages in pure HTML and learned the fundamentals of web design. All of these things helped me to see that computers
were for me.

During my time at U-Mass, I hope to learn more about life and how the world works. I will be living in the dorms and so I will
have an opportunity to learn the skills necessary to live and work with people. I hope that U-Mass will not only help me become a
good computer scientist, but a good worker. I have heard that the Computer Science program at U-Mass will give me the real world
knowledge of hc^w to program antl design the systems that 1 woukl need to succeed in the job market. Experience of the co-op
program will give me on-the-job training and help me to pay lor mv tuition. 1 beliexe that U-MASS can help me to realize my career
goal of creating video game software that will allow me to continue to iorge ahead in creating my own adventures.

i sit here with the last 30 pages of the 2002 Scrimshaw, ready for submission. There were times I thought we might never be able to make
his final deadline, but we have done it. Although it has been a year of occasional setbacks as far as the program goes, we seemed to always
pull through and have been able to keep the quality of the book extremely high.

I feel that we hove set o standard with this book. Long hours went into the perfecting of spreads, the choosing of just the right photos and
designing a look and feel that appeals to the students but also honors the University, as we serve not just for the students but as the permanent
record of UMD in 2001 and 2002.

I con honestly say that this book has lived up to every hope that I hod for it in September. In so many situations one starts out full of great
expectations: but time passes, the pressures mount, unexpected obstacles arise, and things don't end up the way you intended. But looking at all
224 pages of this book I feel we have taken our setbacks in stride, only to work harder to make the book great. Only through the help of Lara
Henderson and Moddy Eiche did this happen. Lara will be next year's editor-in-chief, and I hove all confidence that she will produce a beautiful
book, full of more of the wonderful ideas she brought to this one. fHer dedication to the book was amazing, and I don't know how to thank her
enough. Moddy set the scene for the way that this book looks, and I continue to be in awe of her creative talents. I was so happy that when
I asked her to be my design editor she accepted, because we were then guaranteed a lovely book. I truly appreciate the work of everyone that
we had on staff; those that stuck with us and took time out of their busy schedules to be a port of this project.

I am excited by some of the advancements we made in the program this year. We introduced the paperless" office, where we use images
digitally, and we hove been able to obtain computer equipment and software that mokes our jobs much easier. A nice thing has been the
involvement of our advisers, Jamie Jocquart and Tanoyo Walters. LJp until now the yearbook has worked very independently, with a simple
update given to the adviser now and again. Producing a yearbook is such a larger task than I imagined when I stepped up to the job of editor
in September, ond with no one here having much of an idea of how the Scrimshaw handled its operation in the post it was comforting at times
to hove Jamie and Tonoyo available and eager to help: not only myself and my staff, but helping to build a program that will be strong for years
to come.

To the class of 2002, I hope that you enjoy this book, and that we were able to capture the ports of your experiences here at UMD that you
will remember most. Good luck and good-bye, I have a feeling that we will do the greatest of things.

■-'"WIMIi*..

Much like Dec. 7, 1941 (the attack on Pearl Harbor), Sept. 11, 2001 also became "a day
that will live in infamy."

At 8:48 a.m., a hijacked American Airlines commercial jetliner crashes into one of New
York City's World Trade Center towers. At 9:05, a second plane crashes into the second
tower.

As people try to evacuate, the impact and heat from the crash cause the first tower to
tumble to the ground in enormous clouds of smoke and debris. The second tower collapses
shortly thereafter, leaving nothing but ash, rubble and destruction for miles where one
of our nation's greatest landmarks once stood.

A At 9:40 a.m., a
third hijacked plane flies
into the Pentagon, and
within the hour, a fourth
crashes near a wooded
area in western Pennsyl-
vania. More than 4,200
lives are lost in total.

A The hijackings are
part of an intended mul-
titude of terrorist attacks
on America headed by
Islamic radical and
wanted terrorist leader
Osama bin Laden and
his al Qaeda terrorist net-
work. Bin Laden had
been making open threat
against America for sev-
eral years, demanding the
U.S. withdraw from the i
Middle East.

"Today, our fellow citizens,

our way of life,

our very freedom

came under attack...

Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts

of terror... The

pictures... have

filled us with...

terrible sadness

and a quiet,

unyielding sense

of anger."

In an address to the nation, President George W. Bush A
demands Afghanistan's ruling party (the Taliban) hand
over bin Laden. The Taliban attempts to negotiate the
United States' demand, saying they will not cooperate
without evidence of bin Laden's involvement in the
attacks. Bush states the demand is non-negotiable, and
the U.S. will take retaliatory action against Afghanistan if
they refuse to hand bin Laden over.

Airlines around the world suffer major
setbacks, many declaring bankruptcy.
Congress approves an airline assis-
tance package that includes $1 5 bil-
lion in financial aid and a victim's
compensation fund to limit expensive
lawsuits that might bankrupt airlines
like American and United.

A Former Pennsylvania Gov-
ernor Tom Ridge is appointed by
President Bush to head the newly
created Office of Homeland Secu-
rity Cabinet post, which involves
coordinating and creating a stra-
tegic plan for homeland defense
against future terrorist attacks.

"And tonight, the United States makes the following demands

on the Taliban... These demands are not open to negotiation

or discussion... This is the world's fight... the fight of all who

believe in progress... tolerance, and freedom... We will rally

the world to this cause by our efforts, our courage. We will

not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail."

President Bush signs an anti-terrorism bill into law,
giving police and intelligence agencies new powers
against terrorism, including stronger penalties for har-
boring or financing terrorists, an increase in the
number of crimes considered terrorist acts and
tougher punishments for committing them. The bill
also gives police new rights to secretly search people's
homes and business records and to eavesdrop on
suspect telephone or computer conversations.

The Bush Administration
faces accusations fronn many
that the array of new tactics
implemented with the anti-
terrorism bill, including mili-
tary tribunals (trials held in
secret in which the judges
are military officers, a two-
thirds vote is enough to con-
vict, and there is no need
for proof beyond a reason-
able doubt), are the worst
infringement on civil liber-
ties in decades.

Groups

International Front for Fighting Jews and Crusades
This is a large coalition of groups dedicated to killing Ameri-
cans and destroying U.S. interests worldwide. It was formed
by Osama bin Laden in 1998, and includes al Qaeda (also
founded by bin Laden), a network of small terrorist cells
operating independently around the world, dedicated to
overthrowing Middle Eastern rulers and removing western-
ers from Muslim countries.

The International Front is partnered with the Egyptian
Islamic jihad, or "Al jihad." This group was established in
the 1970s with the aim of overthrowing the Egyptian govern-
ment and setting up an Islamic state. The group's leadership
is divided between those who favor violent means and those
who favor more peaceful means, particularly against U.S.
targets.

Northern Alliance

The Northern Alliance is an Afghanistan rebel faction that
has actively opposed the Taliban for five years. Prior to
the fall of the Taliban, the Northern Alliance claimed five
percent of Afghanistan, while the Taliban controlled the
other 95 percent.

Abu Sayyaf

Abu Sayyaf is a smaller Islamist group fighting to establish
an Iranian-style Islamic state in Mindanao, an island in the
southern Philippines. The group, whose name means, "Bearer
of the Sword," has ties to a number of Islamic fundamentalist
organizations around the world, including Osama bin Laden's
al Qaeda and Ramzi Yousef, an individual convicted of orga-
nizing the 1 993 bombing of the World Trade Center in New
York City. Abu Sayyaf has a membership of approximately
several hundred young Islamic radicals, many of whom were
recruited from universities and high schools.

I.S.A.F. (Internal Security Assistance Force)

Also called the "peacekeepers," the I.S.A.F. was developed

after the collapse of the
Taliban to help keep
peace in Afghanistan
during the interim
government's establish-
ment. The peacekeepers
■ i consist of British Royal

Marines as well as
troops sent in by
I France.

One of the four hijacked planes in the terror-
ist attack, United Airlines Flight 93, crashed
near the woods of Shanksville, Pa. The FBI
believes the plane was intended for another
strategic target (possibly the White House)
and that some of the passengers, including
Thomas Burnett and Jeremy Click, battled
with the hijackers in the final moments before
the plane crashed. Both Burnett and Click had
phoned family members and spoke of a plan
to foil the hijackers. "We are all going to
die," Burnett reportedly told his wife minutes
before the crash, "but a group of us is going to
do something about it."

City, Utah were the most expensive winter games ever. But

with patriotism, pride and
amazing athletic performances.

Snowboarding became ah official Olympic sport for the

tion. Ross Powers, Danny Kass and Jarret Thomas
took the gold, silver and bronze in the
men's halfpipe (giving the U.S. its first
Winter Olympics medals sweep in
46 years). American Kelly Clark
also took the gold in the
women's halfpipe.
