Letter  from  the  Editor 
Jason  Perry 


To  the  Graduating  Class  of  2008, 


Like  most  of  you,  2008  will  mark  my  final  year  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Massachusetts  Dartmouth.  Looking  back,  I  spent 
a  fair  amount  time  immersed  in  many  facets  of  the  college 
lifestyle.  Burying  my  nose  in  textbooks,  stressing  over  final 
projects,  leading  an  efficient  student  organization,  partying 
with  manipulative  friends  like  Jack  Daniels  and  Jim  Beam. 

I've  made  great  decisions  and  I've  made  terrible  ones.  I've 
established  long-term  friendships  as  easily  as  I've  burned 
bridges.  Skipping  class,  failing  mid-terms.  Writing  a  paper 
until  3am,  making  the  Dean's  List.  The  sun  has  shined 
through  my  dorm  room  window  as  frequently  as  the  clouds 
painted  it  black. 

But  within  every  high,  every  low,  comes  valuable  know- 
ledge. It's  wisdom  you  can't  acquire  during  a  PowerPoint 
presentation  or  lecture.  No  teacher  can  explain  it  during 
his  office  hours. 

Reflect  on  your  own  college  career.  Within  every  mistake, 
every  success,  you  experienced  personal  growth.  Whether  it 
was  within  the  concrete  walls  of  UMD  or  at  a  friend's  apart- 
ment, each  moment  changed  not  only  your  outlook  on  life, 
but  your  entire  being.  Sometimes  the  change  was  blatantly 
obvious.  Other  times  it  was  subtle. 

Your  future  is  unpredictable.  But  whatever  lies  ahead,  there 
will  be  a  life-altering  experience  within.  Embrace  it  because 
it'll  help  you  discover  who  you  really  are. 

Best  of  luck  to  you  all  and  congratulations  on  your  accom- 
plishments. 


Sincerely, 


Jason  Perry

woods, 

you  find  a  school  whose  architectural  design  is  the 
heart  of  much  folklore  that  can  be  heard  through- 
out campus.  It  is  the  center  of  all  student  involve- 
ment, whether  in  the  dorms  or  classroom.  Within 
this  community,  you  find  organizations,  teachers, 
and  friends  who  will  impact  your  life  and  make 
your  college  experience  unforgettable.  And  within 
these  walls,  you  create  memories  and  bonds  that 
will  last  a  lifetime.

Located  approximately  60  miles  south  of  Boston  and 

30  miles  east  of  Providence,  the  Dartmouth  area  had  plenty 

to  do  without  the  fast  paced  rush  and  congestive  traffic 

of  a  big  city.  With  a  population  of  over  31,000  Dartmouth, 

Massachusetts  is  home  to  its  own  mall,  driving  range, 

and  a  ton  of  great  restaurants. 

Driving  along  Route  6  led  you  to  the  Dartmouth  Mall, 
where  all  your  favorite  stores  including  Hollister,  Old  Navy, 
and  Aeropostale  were  found.  After  a  day  of  shopping, 
the  next  logical  step  was  to  sit  back  and  relax  at  one  of  the 
many  local  restaurants.  Whether  you  were  in  the  mood 
for  Italian  cuisine  or  some  good  ol'  fashioned  BBQ,  Route  6 
had  you  covered  with  an  assortment  of  restaurants  includ- 
ing Not  Your  Average  Joe's,  TGI  Friday's,  and  Olive  Garden. 

For  the  daredevil  windsurfers  or  beach  bums,  both  Goose- 
berry Island  and  Horseneck  Beach  in  Westport,  was  a  good 
place  to  catch  some  waves  and  work  on  your  tan.  Even 
during  the  cool  winter  days,  Horseneck  Beach  was  a  haven 
for  relaxation. 

Going  east  down  Route  6  took  you  to  New  Bedford,  one 
of  the  most  historically  rich  cities  in  Massachusetts.  The 
New  Bedford  Whaling  Museum  allowed  for  exploration  of 
the  city's  well-documented  impact  on  the  whaling  indus- 
try. But  New  Bedford  offered  more  than  just  history  lessons. 
Battling  the  towering  walls  of  Carabiner's  Indoor  Climb- 
ing— one  of  the  world's  largest  indoor  rock  climbing  venues — 
or  catching  the  latest  film  release  at  Flagship  Cinemas  were 
just  some  of  the  fun  pastimes  found  in  New  Bedford.  Let's  not 
forget  the  other  neighboring  city,  Fall  River,  home  of  Battle- 
ship Cove's  awe-inspiring  scenery. 

If  you  were  looking  for  something  to  do  around  the 
Dartmouth  area,  you  didn't  need  to  travel  far.  There  was  some- 
thing for  everyone  right  in  the  area  to  feed  that  shopaholic, 
beach  bum,  or  even  die-hard  history  buff  in  you.

Remember  when  the  most  important  decision 
was  which  bar  to  attend  on  a  thursday  night  and 
who  was  the  designated  driver? 


The  long  nights  required  to  memorize  all  that  information 
on  your  fake  ID  were  history.  With  a  shiny  new  (legal) 
license,  the  nightlife  of  the  surrounding  SouthCoast  was 
yours  for  the  taking. 

Living  at  UMD  there  were  plenty  of  nightlife  options  to 
keep  things  fun  and  exciting:  all  at  just  a  short  cab  ride  away. 
Several  local  clubs  and  bars  like  Bar  908,  The  Catwalk,  and 
Jakes,  found  UMD  students  drinking  their  cares  away  and 
looking  for  some  plain  of  fun. 

No  matter  what  bar  you  were  at,  it  was  the  same  protocol. 
Groups  of  friends  eagerly  ran  up  to  the  bar  door  to  quickly 
get  the  okay  from  the  bouncer  and  then  hurried  inside. 
One  friend  usually  grabbed  a  table  while  the  others  went  to 
the  bar  to  get  drinks.  Not  before  long  the  lines  around 
the  bar  filled  up  while  the  bartenders  worked  their  magic. 


With  drinks  in  their  system,  people  made  their  way  to  the 
dance  floor  to  celebrate  the  night  with  the  irresistible  beat 
of  the  music.  It  was  pretty  hard  to  resist  singing  the  lyrics  of 
Pour  Some  Sugar  On  Me  by  Def  Leppard.  On  other  nights, 
televisions  tuned  to  sports,  attracting  a  mob  of  people  who 
rooted  for  their  favorite  team.  It  was  like  watching  the 
game  in  one  giant  living  room,  with  fans  breathing  down 
your  neck  to  get  as  close  to  the  action  as  possible. 

As  the  night  continued,  the  party  kept  growing  as  friends 
bumped  into  old  acquaintances  and  shared  memories 
over  drinks.  The  bars  were  the  hot  spots  to  be  any  night  of 
the  week.  It  was  a  guaranteed  fun  time  and  you  could 
always  count  on  the  bar  to  be  packed  with  people  anxiously 
relieving  themselves  from  life's  stresses.

University  Changes 


The  evolution  of  our  campus:  so  much  has 
changed  and  so  much  will  continue  to  change 
even  after  we  leave. 


Danielle  Santoro 
Paige  Bennett-Bonn 


Sometimes  we  get  so  caught  up  in  our  lives  that  we  don't 
realize  the  changes  happening  around  us.  UMD  recently  ex- 
panded the  student  community  into  the  SouthCoast.  The 
Star  Store  and  the  Advancedd  Technology  and  Manufactoring 
Center  is  where  a  good  portion  of  students  go  at  some  point 
during  their  time  at  UMD.  One  of  the  most  noticeable  changes 
that  occurred  was  the  expansion  of  buildings  on-campus. 
The  Woodland  Community  houses  over  1200  students  and 
its  apartment  style  set  up  was  a  big  change  from  the  tradit- 
ional dorms.  Cedar  Dell  South  also  reopened  to  students  after 
undergoing  extensive  renovations.  These  new  dormitories 
defined  the  new  independent  college  student  by  giving  them 
more  freedom  and  options.  But,  when  you  needed  a  break 
from  cooking,  there  were  a  number  of  dining  halls  at  your 


disposal.  Sunset/Commuter  Cafe,  Sky  Ranch,  Birch  Grill, 
and  Jazzman's  Cafe  were  new  eateries  found  on  campus  with 
plenty  more  in  the  works.  Before,  the  only  place  available 
was  Res  Hall  and  if  you  weren't  there  by  6:45  PM,  you  were 
ordering  take  out  that  night. 

Even  the  new  changes  to  Res  Cafe  from  a  cafeteria  to  a  res- 
taurant style  service,  with  the  food  being  prepared  in  front  of 
you  at  different  stations,  was  done  to  satisfy  students  wishes. 
With  all  students  having  very  busy  lives,  the  director  of  Cam- 
pus Services,  Jeff  Augustine,  realized  it  was  time  to  create  places 
to  eat  on  campus  that  operated  at  a  broader  range  of  hours. 
These  food  services  allowed  students  to  grab  food  on  the  go  or 
to  relax  with  their  friends  as  if  they  were  at  a  restaurant.

Changing  times  also  comes  with  changes  in  technology. 
Signing  up  tor  classes  was  such  a  hassle,  waiting  in  line  to 
speak  with  an  advisor  and  pick  your  classes  for  the  upcoming 
semester.  Wirh  the  creation  of  COIN,  students  were  able 
to  access  all  the  information  about  grades,  classes,  enroll- 
ment, and  financial  aspects,  all  from  one  website.  Students 
anywhere  from  anywhere  in  the  world  accessed  COIN, 
which  was  very  convenient  for  foreign  exchange  students 
or  studying  abroad  programs.  Sure,  COIN  had  its  faults 
(searching  for  available  classes  was  a  pain),  but  the  service 
marked  just  another  step  forward  for  UMD  and  to  the 
every  day  growth  in  our  lives. 


UMD  Folklore: 

Deciphering  fact  from  fiction:  If  you  think  some  of  the  rumors  you've  heard  about 
your  friends  are  outrageous,  you  should  hear  the  ones  about  our  campus. 


Courtney  Nunes 
Yearbook  Archives 


What  if  one  of  your  friends  cold  you  there  were  secret 
underground  tunnels  on  campus  or  that  there  were  spiraJ- 
ing  staircases  that  lead  to  the  parking  spaces  on  the  roof? 
Would  you  believe  them?  Okay,  so  it  might  be  pushing  it 
a  little,  and  by  then  you  might  start  asking  yourself  if 
they've  had  one  too  many.  Believe  it  or  not  these  are  just 
a  few  of  the  myths  and  legends  spreading  throughout 
the  campus  of  UMD. 

Among  the  crazy  stories  is  the  tale  of  wacky,  Satanist 
architect  Paul  Rudolph.  Rumor  has  it  that  Rudolph  com- 
mitted suicide  by  jumping  from  the  bell  tower,  but  in 
fact  it  wascancer  that  took  his  life.  While  it  is  said  that  an 
overhead  view  of  the  campus  will  reveal  that  the  build- 
ings create  a  pentagram,  this  is  about  as  true  as  the  story  of 
the  suicidal  architect.  There  is  no  pentagram  visible  from 
above,  and  contrary  to  popular  belief,  the  benches  were  not 
made  to  represent  the  number  666,  but  rather  seashells. 

As  for  those  of  you  who've  ever  seen  A  Clockwork  Orange 
and  believe  the  school's  architecture  was  designed  after  the 
mental  institution  in  the  film — it's  not.  The  buildings 


were  actually  based  on  the  style  known  as  Brutalism,  which 
usually  consists  of  striking,  repetitive,  angular  geometries. 
Rudolph  wanted  to  distinguish  the  campus  from  the  outside 
world  while  still  providing  a  social  environment.  One  thing 
you  might  have  noticed  were  the  relatively  narrow  stairs,  cre- 
ated in  order  to  slow  people  down  and  allow  them  to  appreci- 
ate the  campus.  Also,  the  concrete  and  large  windows  add 
to  the  feeling  of  being  outdoors  while  still  inside. 

Because  a  state  educational  television  network  was  original- 
ly planned  for  the  campus,  requiring  a  transmitter  or  perhaps 
even  underground  channels  for  coaxial  cable,  some  believe 
that  the  campus  contains  walkable  network  of  tunnels.  These 
tunnels  are  said  to  connect  the  freshman  buildings  to  the 
academic  ones.  So  where  exactly  were  these  tunnels  while  you 
were  trudging  your  way  through  rain,  sleet,  and  snow,  you 
might  ask?

Landmarks 


Why  are  they  here?

As  you  lied  in  bed  and  slowly  opened  your  eyes,  you  lean- 
ed over  to  check  the  time,  and  realized  you  had  overslept. 
Class  was  to  start  in  five  minutes.  You  threw  on  a  sweat- 
shirt, grabbed  a  notebook,  and  ran  out  the  door.  Walking 
up  to  Ring  Road,  you  impatiently  waited  for  a  line  of  cars 
to  pass  thinking,  "Why  couldn't  the  road  go  through  cam- 
pus instead  of  around  it?  "As  traffic  lightened,  you  quickly 
walked  along  Centennial  Way  wondering,  "Why  exactly  is 
it  called  Centennial  Way  anyway?"  You  took  rushed  steps 
to  Group  I,  and  as  you  walked  into  class  you  could  hear  the 
tower's  distant  chime.  You  made  it  just  in  time. 

Between  Ring  Road,  Centennial  Way,  and  the  campanile; 
there  were  things  that  students  generally  took  for  granted, 
when  in  fact  there  was  actually  a  lot  of  thought  put  into 
the  design  of  the  campus  for  the  students.  Ring  Road  was 
part  of  architect  Paul  Rudolph's  master  plan  at  work.  He 
intended  the  inner  campus  to  be  for  pedestrians  only,  and 
believed  that  having  cars  pass  through  there  would  dehu- 
manize the  space.  Rudolph  thought  the  idea  of  keeping  cars 
separate  from  the  campus  was  very  important  and  attempt- 
ed to  keep  the  parking  lots  out  of  view. 


The  campanile,  otherwise  known  as  The  Tower,  was  com- 
pleted in  1972  and  also  critical  to  Rudolph's  architectural 
plan.  It  was  to  be  a  focal  point  of  interest,  a  pivot  point 
to  guide  the  eye  around  the  walkways  that  branched  off 
from  the  tower.  This  spiral  effect  would  then  pull  your 
attention  to  Cedar  Dell  Pond.  In  this  way,  the  campanile 
served  as  a  visual  anchor  which  allowed  people  to  stop 
and  appreciate  the  beauty  of  the  pond  while  going  about 
their  busy  schedules. 

Traveling  back  and  forth  across  Centennial  Way  became 
part  of  an  everyday  routine  for  many  residential  students. 
The  road,  which  branched  off  from  the  Residence  Halls 
and  led  up  to  the  Campus  Center,  was  not  actually  named 
until  1995  when  the  university  celebrated  its  centennial 
anniversary.  Like  the  campanile  and  Ring  Road,  Centennial 
Way  was  a  part  of  campus  that  was  often  passed  by  without 
students  seeing  the  true  purpose  behind  them.

Toothbrush?  Check!  Mini-fridge?  Check!  Suitcase 
with  clothes?  Check! 

If  only  it  was  that  easy.  Whether  you  were  a  freshman  or 
a  returning  resident,  hassles  of  move-in  weekend  were  the 
same  for  everyone.  For  the  2007-2008  year,  UMD  welcomed 
the  largest  class  of  incoming  freshman  ever,  along  with  its 
returning  students.  On  September  IST-2ND,  students  entered 
their  new  homes- away-from  home,  whether  it  was  the  worn- 
down  freshman  halls,  the  Woodland  apartments,  or  the 
infamous  (and  renovated)  Cedar  Dell  South. 

Now  no  one  said  that  the  glorious  days  of  college  consisted  of 
waiting  for  hours  in  the  school's  parking  lots,  lugging  around 
televisions  or  fridges,  and  unpacking  your  things,  just  to  find 
out  you  have  an  electric  problem  in  your  room!  Sometimes 
move-in  weekend  left  students  annoyed  and  frustrated  rather 
than  reminding  them  of  all  the  excitement  to  come  at  UMD. 

Move-in  weekend  symbolized  many  different  things  for 
many  people.  For  freshmen,  move-in  weekend  was  a  new  and 
exciting  journey.  For  sophomores  and  juniors,  it  was  a  the 
expected  routine  each  time  the  month  of  September  rolled 
around.  However,  for  seniors  it  marked  the  beginning  of  the 
end  with  the  countdown  to  graduation  officially  underway. 


No  matter  what  year  you  were  though,  you  expected  many 
phone  calls  from  a  worried  mom  or  dad  who  just  couldn't 
bear  to  see  their  baby  leave. 

The  days  of  move-in  weekend  were  filled  with  chaos, 
new  roommates,  and  tearful  farewells  (from  the  parents, 
of  course!)  But  that  kind  of  craziness  defined  the 
college  experience,  right?

Welcome 

entertainment  that  only  UMD  could  provide 


■  Soraya  Jonet-Branco 
Chi-Hang  Andy  Fung 
Jason  Perry 


After  you  finished  unpacking  and  completely  sanitizing  your        gathered  in  the  auditorium,  awaiting  comedians  Jo  Koy  and 
dorm  room,  you  probably  wondered  what  there  was  to  do  Dan  Ahdoot.  Both  comedians  had  everyone  rolling  in  the  seats 


around  campus? 

Well,  thanks  to  CAB,  your  first  week  at  UMD  was  packed  with 
fun  activities  to  keep  you  out  of  your  dorm  room. 

During  September  3-12,  Welcome  Week  kept  students  from 
getting  homesick  or  feeling  overwhelmed  by  their  workload. 
There  was  a  different  event  going  on  everyday,  which  was  sure 
to  please  everyone  and  a  great  way  to  start  the  academic  year. 
The  week  started  with  students  filing  into  a  shuttle  headed  for 
Horseneck  Beach,  where  they  spent  the  day  with  the  sun  in 
their  faces  and  the  sand  in  between  their  toes.  The  following 
days  were  packed  with  vendor  fairs  and  student  organization 
general  interest  meetings:  a  sure  way  to  meet  new  people  and 
get  involved  on-campus. 

On  the  next  night,  students  brought  their  blankets  and  sweat- 
shirts to  the  amphitheater,  where  they  were  treated  to  a  free 
screening  of  the  popular  comedy,  Knocked  Up.  Students  then 


with  laughter  at  their  hilarious  antics  and  ridiculous  experiences. 

The  most  memorable  event  of  them  all,  though,  was  MTV 
Real  World's  Davis  and  Collie.  The  Denver  castmates  visited 
UMD  to  talk  with  students  about  a  variety  of  issues  from 
Hurricane  Katrina  to  binge  drinking  to  sex.  Naturally,  they  also 
discussed  all  the  juicy  details  from  the  show  that  kept  all  of  us 
glued  to  our  television  screens. 

It's  tough  adjusting  to  a  new  environment,  but  with  the  help 
of  CAB  and  Welcome  Week,  the  academic  year  started  with 
a  sense  of  comfort  and  got  everyone  involved. 

Plus  it  proved  that,  yes,  there  was  something  to  do  on-campus.

On  October  6,  2007,  Lisa  Tiger  visited  UMD  as  a  motiva- 
tional speaker  for  the  6th  Annual  AIDS  Benefit  put  on  by 
the  brothers  and  Rho  Rhoses  of  Sigma  Phi  Rho.  Sigma  Phi 
Rho  started  this  annual  tradition  in  order  to  promote  AIDS 
awareness  and  to  relay  the  importance  of  taking  precautions 
to  prevent  its  spread. 

When  Ms  Tiger  stood  nervously  on  stage  and  announced  that 
she  had  tested  positive  for  HIV,  the  crowd  fell  to  a  hushed 
silence.  Shocked  faces  listened  intently  to  her  compelling  story 
of  coping  with  this  potentially  fatal  disease. 

Hosting  the  benefit  was  Uptown  Kevin  Brown,  a  comedian 
from  NBC's  30  Rock,  and  former  brother  of  Sigma  Phi  Rho 


Sigma  Phi  Rho's  Annual  AIDS  Benefit:  Taking 
time  out  to  discover  some  of  the  real  dangers 
going  on  in  our  community. 


Incorporated.  Adding  lots  of  laughs  to  the  show,  and  encour- 
aging the  audience  to  have  a  good  time,  Kevin  Brown  also 
discussed  with  the  crowd  about  the  prevention  of  HIV,  and 
the  seriousness  of  the  disease. 

While  Kevin  Brown  took  care  of  the  comedy  for  the  night, 
UMD  students  also  took  part  in  the  show  through  a  mixture 
of  vocals,  raps,  dances  and  other  forms  of  expressive  art.  The 
crowd  was  awed  by  an  assortment  of  Latino,  Cape  Verdean, 
and  African  performances  that  focused  on  hope,  respect,  and 
nobility.  Towards  the  end  of  the  night,  the  brothers  of 
Sigma  Phi  Rho  closed  the  show  by  performing  a  step  dance 
on  stage.  Members  of  Sigma  Phi  Rho  were  on  their  feet,  as 
the  packed  auditorium  was  enlivened.  The  crowd  was 


screaming,  music  was  bursting  through  the  speakers,  and  the 
energy  was  exhilarating. "Rho  is  deep  in  my  soul! "sang  out 
the  brothers  as  more  members  of  the  fraternity  began  jump- 
ing up  onto  the  stage  to  join  them. 

The  benefit  proved  to  be  a  success,  not  only  by  means  of 
entertainment,  but  also  by  relaying  an  important  message. 
It  definitely  put  into  perspective  the  consequences  of 
one's  actions  and  everybody  left  that  night  more  informed 
about  HIV/AIDS.

Did  you  ever  get  in  trouble  for  stomping  angrily 
up  the  stairs  when  you  were  a  kid? 

Remember  how  you  trudged  along,  banging  each  foot  down 
with  force  and  emotion,  the  sound  echoing  off  the  walls 
like  thunder?  Well,  as  one  of  the  latest  dance  crazes  of  the 
20TH  century,  Step  Afrika  has  introduced  what  they  call 
Stepping  to  nations  around  the  globe.  They  have  performed 
everywhere  from  DC  to  South  Africa,  London  to  Brazil, 
and  now  here  at  the  UMD. 

Stepping  was  created  by  African  American  college  students 
of  fraternities  and  sororities  in  the  early  1900s.  As  part  of 
the  pledging  process,  students  discovered  the  secrets  and  his- 
tory of  the  organization,  while  also  learning  how  to  follow 
their  big  brothers  and  sisters  in  step.  While  stepping  is  com- 
monly combined  with  Mozambique  music  or  Brazilian 


drum  core,  Step  Afrika  also  blends  this  unique  dance  tradi- 
tion with  African  American  spirituals. 

The  screen  behind  the  dancers  illuminated  the  otherwise 
dark  stage  with  blue,  red,  and  orange  lights,  as  the  black 
silhouettes  came  across  the  stage.  Stomping  in  sync,  hitting 
their  hands  off  their  arms,  chest,  and  legs,  it's  like  tap 
dancing  without  tap  shoes,  as  the  members  of  Step  Afrika 
use  their  body  as  an  instrument.  They  jumped  up  and 
down,  landing  on  the  wooden  floor  with  a  thud.  Kicking 
their  legs  up  in  the  air,  clapping  their  hands  under  their 
legs,  and  spinning  in  circles  the  team  gives  the  crowd  an 
electrifying  jolt.  It  was  fast-paced,  energetic,  and  filled 
with  passion. 


At  one  point  in  the  show,  nine  volunteers  from  the  audience 
were  chosen  to  go  up  on  stage  and  learn  first  hand  what 
stepping  was  all  about.  They  got  a  few  laughs  from  the  audi- 
ence, as  they  stomped  their  feet,  a  bit  uncoordinated,  and 
learned  the  moves  of  stepping. 

Stepping  isn't  just  about  the  dance  moves  though.  Director 
of  Step  Afrika,  Brian  Williams  said  that  the  three  build- 
ing blocks  of  stepping  are  teamwork,  commitment,  and 
discipline.  Stepping  is  a  way  to  build  character.  Step  Afrika 
ended  the  show  with  a  crowd  cheering  performance 
and  left  with  a  phrase  to  remember.  "Just  finish,"  the  team 
told  the  crowd,  "whatever  it  is."

Friday,  October  19TH  through  Sunday,  October  21ST  was 
an  emotional  weekend  to  no  one's  surprise.  Young  UMD 
Alumni  from  the  class  of  2007  cherished  the  opportunity 
to  catch  up  with  friends  as  hugs  and  tears  of  joy  were  all 
too  common  at  Friday's  Young  UMass  Dartmouth  Alumni 
&  Zero  Year  Reunion  Pub  night.  It  was  a  throwback  night 
to  the  days  when  they  shared  a  few  drinks  with  many  great 
friends.  Even  the  torrential  rain  couldn't  wash  away  every- 
one's jovial  spirits,  but  it  managed  to  leave  more  than  a  few 
alumni  with  some  wet  shoes  and  frizzled  hair. 

Homecoming  2007  was  more  than  just  rekindling  old 
friendships — it  allowed  UMD  the  opportunity  to  put  some 
of  its  talented  students  on  display.  Saturday's  Homecoming 


Day  Parade  showed  off  current  UMD  students'  creativity 
as  vibrant  UMD-inspired  floats  circled  Ring  Road  en  route  to 
Cressy  Field:  the  central  point  of  everything  Homecoming 
2007.  Students  of  then  and  now  mingled  once  again,  this  time 
underneath  the  Homecoming  Day  BBQ  &  Reunion  tent. 
Their  chatter  was  drowned  out  at  times  due  to  ferocious  roars 
of  happiness  emitted  by  the  fans  that  watched  the  UMD 
football  Corsairs  entrenched  in  battle  with  Nichols  College. 

However,  halftime  at  the  game  brought  out  cheers  of  a  new 
kind — adulation  that  recognized  the  crowning  of  royalty. 

It's  a  tough  road  to  travel  for  a  hopeful  UMD  king  and  queen. 
Candidates  spent  the  previous  week  pitted  against  other

potential  candidates  in  such  outrageous  (and  at  time  em- 
barrassing) events  like  pancake  tossing,  clothes-swapping 
relays,  and  an  old-fashioned  tug-of-war.  But  Homecoming 
2007  winners  Jon  Gillen  and  Erin  Dacey  pushed  out  ahead 
of  the  pack  and  earned  their  crowns.  Fellow  competitors 
and  friends  applauded  Jon  and  Erin's  victory,  to  which  they 
both  responded  with  radiant  smiles. 

When  the  banners  and  tents  came  down  on  Sunday,  it  was 
the  first  sign  that  Homecoming  2007  was  at  its  end.  Heartfelt 
goodbyes  to  old  friends  filled  up  a  majority  of  everyone's  day. 
But  there  was  a  silver  lining  within  each  minute  that  passed:  it 
was  one  minute  closer  to  the  next  Homecoming;  when  the 
festivities  will  happen  again.

Oh  what  a  night!  The  drinks  were  cheap,  the 
beers  were  cold,  and  the  music  was  good. 

It's  Thursday  night  and  crowds  of  students  are  seen  following 
the  sounds  of  music  coming  from  the  Campus  Center.  On- 
lookers intrigued  by  this  sight,  begin  to  see  what  all  the  fuss  is 
about.  Students  are  lining  up  to  get  into  the  UMD  Pub! 

The  UMD  Pub  typically  had  a  line  of  students  awaiting  ad- 
mission, hoping  they  would  make  it  in  before  the  Pub 
reached  full  capacity.  Friends  came  together  to  grab  drinks 
and  have  a  little  fun  after  a  hectic  week.  Some  chose  to 
relax  by  the  bar  and  socialize,  while  others  preferred  to  dance. 

On  occasion,  the  UMD  Pub  put  on  a  special  Pub  Night  to 
raise  money  for  an  organization.  But  no  matter  the  occasion, 
the  Pub  was  always  taken  over  by  dancing.  Students  moved 


the  part)'  in  front  of  UMass  Pass  to  make  room  for  everyone. 
The  DJ  always  played  the  top  hits  and  eagerly  took  requests 
from  students  to  keep  the  energy  high.  Girls  rushed  out  on  the 
dance  floor,  grabbing  their  friends  on  the  way  to  dance  to 
their  favorite  song.  The  music  was  catchy  and  upbeat  with 
most  singing  along  as  they  celebrated  the  night. 

The  best  part  about  the  Pub  was  not  worrying  about  who  was 
going  to  be  the  designated  driver  to  take  you  home  because 
the  DartVan  was  always  waiting  for  you  outside  the  Pub  doors. 
A  UMD  Pub  experience  was  usually  memorable  and  signified 
another  exciting  time  with  friends  at  UMD.

Diwali 

Miaht 


A  Festival  of  Lights  signifying  the  victory  of  good 
over  evil  within  a  person. 


Li  Soraya  Jonet-Branco 
■  Chi-Hang  AndyFung 


Colorful  lights,  traditional  music  and  enthusiastic  faces 
enhanced  the  atmosphere  as  students  gathered  into  the 
auditorium.  This  year,  UMD  hosted  their  first  Diwali  Night, 
otherwise  known  as  the  Festival  of  Lights.  This  celebration 
is  famous  in  the  Indian  and  Hindu  cultures,  and  while  many 
beliefs  have  formed  over  the  years,  the  main  focus  is  the 
triumph  of  good  over  evil  within  one's  self. 

The  auditorium  was  lit  up  in  brilliant  colors  reflecting  from 
the  patterns  on  the  walls  and  from  the  colorful  silks  worn  by 
the  participants.  People  who  participated  wore  traditional 
clothing  and  performed  dance  routines.  These  dances  varied 
from  jumping  over  bamboo  to  a  Justin  Timberlake  skit. 
However,  the  night  didn't  stop  there,  at  the  conclusion  of  the 
show  a  buffet  was  provided  serving  traditional  Indian  dishes — 
a  nice  break  from  Res  burgers  and  fries! 

Most  people  know  very  little  about  other  cultures  other 
than  their  own.  Thankfully,  the  night  began  with  a  narrator 
giving  the  audience  a  brief  history  of  India  and  places  to 
go  if  you're  interested  in  visiting.  This  was  a  fascinating  way 
for  people  to  learn  a  different  culture  since  our  school  is  ex- 
tremely diverse.  Students  need  a  visual  way  to  gain  knowledge 
and  appreciation  for  other  cultures  other  than  reading  it 
from  a  textbook,  so  what  better  way  than  seeing  it  first-hand?

All  the  stress  is  worth  it  when  the  curtain  drops 
and  these  students  take  their  final  bows. 

The  UMD  Theatre  Company  celebrated  their  40TH  anniver- 
sary this  past  year.  Originally  run  by  the  infamous  Angus 
Bailey  and  launched  in  1967,  the  company  has  managed  to 
stay  successful  for  all  these  years.  After  Bailey's  death,  it  be- 
came a  student  run  organization.  The  cast  have  always  found 
themselves  very  busy,  whether  it  was  planning  the  next  play 
or  setting  up  for  the  show  they  were  currently  working  on. 
They  worked  long  hours,  spending  most  of  their  time  in 
the  Theatre  Co.  office  where  there  was  always  something 
going  on. 

As  you  walked  into  the  office  of  the  Theatre  Co.,  your  eyes 
were  drawn  to  all  of  the  bright  colors  of  the  costumes  hang- 
ing up  and  pieces  of  the  set,  some  of  which  were  made  by 


the  students.  UMD  senior  Retha  Charette  has  been  in  the 
theatre  company  since  her  freshman  year.  She  immediate- 
ly fell  in  love  with  acting  and  the  cast.  Junior  year  she  be- 
came the  company's  manager  and  since  then  has  only  made 
progress  taking  the  place  as  productive  manager  this  year. 
Retha  had  mentioned  that  the  whole  experience  of  working 
with  the  theatre  company  was  the  most  stressful  but  the  best 
part  of  her  day.  She  has  said  it  was  all  worth  it  at  the  end 
when  the  cast  take  their  last  bows  as  the  audience  applauses. 

With  an  outstanding  number  of  40  members,  this  company 
was  fortunate  to  have  many  helping  hands  on  and  off 
stage.  They  performed  an  extensive  list  of  plays  including 
Urinetown:  The  Musical,  The  Diary  of  Anne  Frank,  and

Sophecles'  Electra.  There  were  eight  cast  members  for  The 
Laramie  Project  and  thirteen  for  Charlie  Brown,  both  plays 
were  very  different  from  each  other.  This  was  a  goal  for  the 
company,  to  put  on  two  completely  opposite  performances, 
with  Charlie  Brown  being  upbeat  and  fun,  while  having  The 
Laramie  Project,  a  more  serious  and  powerful  performance 
intended  to  raise  awareness.  As  much  as  the  cast  wanted  all 
of  the  stress  and  madness  of  putting  together  the  plays  to 
end,  they  would  have  done  it  again  in  a  heartbeat!

On  Wednesday,  December  12,  2007,  the  royalty  would  once         favorites  as  the  judges  came  to  an  agreement.  Miss  UMD  2007 


again  grace  UMD.

Hosted  by  Miss  UMD  2006  Joanna/0/0  Hobin  and  Dajaun 
Owens,  Miss  UMD  2007  put  some  of  UMD's  most  talented 
ladies  on  display,  all  striving  for  the  coveted  crown  and  sash. 

One  by  one  the  girls  came  out  and  introduced  themselves, 
stating  their  majors  and  extracurricular  activities.  Eventu- 
ally, the  show  progressed  to  the  talent  section.  Talents  varied 
from  an  American  -W0/ audition,  to  a  portrayal  of  Dancing 
with  the  Stars,  to  even  a  skit  from  Saturday  Night  Live.  But  the 
entertainment  for  the  night  didn't  stop  there,  as  the  brothers 
of  Sigma  Phi  Rho  wowed  the  crowd  with  a  step  performance 
during  intermission. 

Afterwards,  dressed  to  impress,  the  girls  got  to  show  off  their 

stylish  gowns  as  part  of  the  formal  wear  category.  With 

the  spotlight  daunting  and  the  pressure  on  each  girl,  they  were 

then  tested  with  a  little  Q&A.  As  the  competition  came 

to  an  end,  the  fate  of  the  girls  lay  in  the  hands  of  the  judges. 

Members  of  the  audience  once  again  called  out  to  their 


The  crowd  burst  into  applause  as  Shelagh  was  awarded  the  sash 
and  crown.  She  graciously  thanked  her  sorority  sisters  and  all 
of  the  other  contestants  as  the  crowd  cheered  ecstatically.  With 
Miss  UMD  crowned  for  at  least  another  year,  one  couldn't 
help  but  wonder  who  would  contend  for  the  crown  in  2008.

John  Oliver:

America:  love  it  or  mock  it. 


In  a  time  when  George  Bush's  eight  year  reign  was  finally 
coming  to  a  close,  the  war  in  Iraq  seemed  to  be  going  no- 
where, and  the  economy  fell  more  and  more  into  debt,  people 
around  the  world  questioned  our  American  leader's  sanity. 
When  you  thought  you  had  norhing  to  fear,  there  came  a  man 
like  John  Oliver  who  made  you  rhink  otherwise. 

A  British  comedian  and  correspondent  for  The  Daily  Show 
with  Jon  Stewart,  John  Oliver  performed  at  UMD  on  Febru- 
ary- 9.  2008.  Before  taking  the  mic,  however,  Rory  AJbanese 
opened  up  the  show  with  some  stand  up  comedy  of  his 
own.  After  sending  the  audience  into  hysterics,  he  handed 
the  mic  over  to  Oliver. 

Walking  out  onto  the  stage  to  an  eruption  of  applause, 
John  Oliver  began  his  monologue  by  informing  the  crowd  that 
as  he  was  British  he  would  be  talking  with  a  British  accent, 
and  "had  we  not  thrown  our  tea  into  the  Boston  Harbor,  "we 
would  be  also.  But  as  for  revenge,  Oliver  claims  Americans 
have  nothing  to  fear  because  "There  is  nothing  anyone  can 
do  to  us  that  we  are  not  already  doing  to  ourselves." 


With  each  punch  line  came  howls  of  laughter  from  the  audi- 
ence. People  were  roaring  as  they  leaned  back  in  their  seats 
as  John  Oliver  continued  his  act  describing  our  technique  with 
Iraq  as  the  wasp  nest  method.  Oliver  explained  that  our  situa- 
tion with  Iraq  was  similar  to  getting  stung  by  a  wasp.  For 
after  getting  stung,  it  seems  the  only  sensible  thing  to  do  is  to 
follow  that  wasp  to  the  nest  and  hit  it  with  a  stick.  And  then 
keep  hitting  it. 

Before  ending  the  show,  Oliver  did  say  how  there  was  still 
hope  for  the  world"in  the  form  of  Wikipedia." However,  today 
fiction  is  more  attractive  than  fact.  Oliver  said, "If  our  children 
have  no  future  then  let's  at  least  give  them  a  past."

Black  History

We  should  emphasize  not  Negro  History,  but  the 
Negro  in  history— Carter  Woodson 

Entering  Woodland  Commons,  where  the  3RD  annual  Black 
History  Month  Ball  was  held,  you  are  greeted  by  the  warm 
smiles  of  Emmanuel  Lyte  and  Salem  Amanuel.  These  two  hosts 
of  the  ball  were  very  appreciative  towards  their  guests  who 
came  to  show  their  support  for  Black  History  Month. 

While  the  live  music  of  The  Ayo  Murphy  Quartet  played,  you 
could  not  help  but  notice  everyone  entering  the  Commons 
sporting  gorgeous  gowns  and  sharp  tuxedos.  As  you  had  a  seat  at 
one  of  the  many  white  and  gold  decorated  tables,  your  first 
course  of  fresh  Caesar  salad  is  served.  Looking  around  the  room 
you  may  have  noticed  the  important  figures  from  the  Student 
Affairs  Committee  or  the  table  full  of  important  public  speakers 
caught  your  eye,  whose  powerful  speeches  connected  with 
the  crowd.  Among  these  faces  were  guest  speakers,  Leroy  Parris, 
and  author  oi  Black  Souls  in  an  Ivory  Tower,  Dr.  Franklin  Tuitt, 
who  both  made  amazing  speeches  of  freedom  and  how  far 
African  Americans  have  come. 

All  stood  up  as  the  Negro  National  Anthem  was  sung  by  fellow 
UMD  student,  Kerriann  Virgo.  When  the  speeches  were  over, 
a  slideshow  of  several  significant  African  Americans  were  shown. 


These  slides  were  filled  with  people  who  have  made  a  lasting 
impression  on  society  throughout  the  years  and  have  been 
so  influential  that  many  still  follow  their  beliefs.  A  couple  of 
faces  that  appeared  were  civil  rights  movement  activists,  like 
Martin  Luther  Kingjt,  and  black  women  rights  activists, 
Dorothy  Irene  Height. 

Following  the  ceremony  everyone  kicked  off  their  shoes 
and  danced  all  night  to  the  music  put  on  by  alumni,  DJ 
Paul  Brogna.  This  was  Brogna's  third  time  coming  back,  so 
everyone  knew  that  they  would  be  in  for  a  good  time.  The 
Black  History  Month  Ball  made  a  lasting  impression  on  many 
throughout  the  years  that  it  has  been  held.  There  is 
a  lot  to  know  about  black  history  and  the  UMD  community 
is  fortunate  enough  to  have  the  opportunity  to  learn  of 
its  past  through  people  who  have  been  through  some  of  these 
struggles.  This  is  an  example  of  how  UMD  has  an  amazing 
community  who  are  accepting  to  whomever  takes  interest  in 
our  school,  no  matter  what  their  background  may  be.

Walking  into  the  doors  or  rhe  auditorium,  all  you  heard 
were  voices  coming  from  the  seats  waiting  for  the  contest- 
ants of  the  next  Mr.  UMD  to  make  their  first  appearance. 

There  was  much  pressure  put  on  the  male  competitors, 
mostly  because  they  knew  that  Miss  Massachusetts  was  one 
of  the  many  judges  judging  their  every  move.  This  did  not 
stop  them  from  breaking  it  down  on  stage.  The  men's  first 
task  was  to  talk  of  their  interests  and  what  they  love  most 
to  do  with  their  free  time.  This  gave  the  audience  a  chance 
to  get  to  know  the  contestants  and  relate  to  them.  After- 
wards, they  put  on  acts  leaving  their  audience  in  tears  from 
laughing  so  hard.  A  few  of  the  acts  put  on  by  the  contest- 
ants were  magic  tricks,  crazy  dance  moves,  acoustic  perfor- 
mances, and  some  impressive  beat  boxing. 

Just  when  you  thought  it  could  not  get  any  better,  the  men 
came  out  on  stage  sharply  dressed  in  formal  wear.  They 
were  then  asked  a  few  questions  concerning  the  university, 
as  each  one  answered  with  confidence  and  honesty.  As  the 
judges  voted  on  their  final  decision,  the  UMD  Dance  Team 
performed.  As  soon  as  the  dance  team  wrapped  up  their 


performance,  the  anxious  contestants  came  out  on  stage  to 
sing  along  with  former  Mr.  UMD,  as  his  last  song  with  the 
title.  The  time  had  come  for  the  judges  to  announce  the  re- 
sults for  the  crowning  of  Mr.  UMD  2008.  The  winner  of  Mr. 
UMD  2008  was  announced,  leaving  winner  Todd  Migliacci 
with  a  smile  across  his  face.  This  tradition  has  carried  on  for 
many  years  now  and  will  continue  to  in  the  future,  leaving 
both  audiences  and  contestants  happy.

Kick  up  your  feet  and  celebrate,  its  time  to  be  a  kid  again ! 


Danielle  Santoro 
Katelyn  Katie  Marcotte 


With  the  end  of  school  right  around  the  corner  it  is  easy  for 
the  students  to  stress  out.  Luckily,  UMD  offered  a  week  of 
Springfest  activities  to  take  a  break  from  the  books  and  ease 
student's  minds  before  it's  back  to  the  preparation  of  finals. 

Springfest  kicked  off  in  the  auditorium  with  a  late  night 
showing  of  the  horror  film,  Cloverfield.  Students  came  with 
all  their  friends  and  huddled  together,  knowing  they  would 
probably  need  someone  to  grab  when  the  scenes  got  intense. 

The  traditional  outdoor  BBQ  on  the  campus  patio  took  place 
later  that  week  on  a  beautiful  sunny  day.  Students  piled  their 
plates  with  as  much  food  as  possible,  as  they  enjoyed  the  plea- 
sant sounds  of  singers  Jessica  Sonners  and  Jason  LeVassuer. 
Other  students  were  intrigued  by  all  the  free  gifts  being  given 
out!  Frisbees,  sunglasses,  and  Vitamin  Water  got  the  crowd's 
attention  and  it  wasn't  long  before  people  were  throwing  their 
shoes  off  to  participate  in  Frisbee  games. 

UMD  received  privileged  visits  from  the  band  Blessid  Union 
of  Souls  and  singer  Sean  Kingston.  Students,  children,  and 
even  adults  got  to  the  auditorium  an  hour  early  to  get  seats 


closest  to  the  stage.  Students  enjoyed  listening  to  the  classic 
songs  of  Blessid  Union  of  Souls  from  the  90s  and  the  bands 
entertaining  vibe  kept  the  crowd  hyped.  Everyone  was  on 
their  feet  singing  and  dancing  to  all  the  songs  in  the  aisles.  As 
Sean  Kingston  made  his  way  to  the  stage,  deafening  screams 
came  from  all  the  girls  as  they  shouted  his  name,  barely  con- 
trolling their  excitement  throughout  his  entire  performance. 
His  upbeat  songs  kept  the  crowd  energized  all  night  long. 

The  last  day  of  Springfest  was  filled  with  memories  of 
childhood  birthday  parties,  but  still  unbelievably  fun  for  all 
college  students.  Students  spent  the  day  jumping  around  in 
inflatables,  playing  skee  ball,  making  decorative  signs,  getting 
henna  tattoos,  and  capturing  fun  moments  with  their  close 
friends  in  the  photo  booth  area.  It  was  indeed  the  perfect  end 
to  a  festive  week  and  got  students  ready  to  focus  their  atten- 
tion on  finishing  up  the  end  of  the  semester.

Kerry  Gorman 


Danielle  Santoro 
Patrick  Tab  Kadlik 


The  go  to  girl  for  Greek  Life. 


Remember  the  days  when  you  were  an  freshman  year  roommate.  Kerry  felt 
upperclassman  rushing  around  rrying  ro  so  welcomed  by  the  group  even  before 
get  a  million  things  done.  With  gradua-  becoming  a  member.  She  knew  it 
tion  approaching,  classes  to  pass,  and  job  was  something  she  wanted  to  be  in- 
scouting  vou  may  have  wondered  if  it  volved  with  and  would  then  have 


ild 


ever  pay 


off? 


However,  that's  just  an  ordinary  day 
in  Kerry  Gorman's  hectic  college  life. 
She's  an  energetic,  senior  nursing  major, 
who  does  an  amazing  job  balancing 
school,  helping  others,  and  taking  on 
the  time-consuming  job  as  Greek 
Coordinator. 

Kerry,  a  former  member  of  Alpha 
Sigma  Tau  has  been  involved  with  Greek 
Life  since  she  came  to  UMD.  She  met 
the  wonderful  sisters  of  AST  through  her 


supportive  sisters  to  turn  to. 

Being  the  dedicated  person  that  she  is, 
she  climbed  her  way  up  as  a  member  of 
AST.  She  effortlessly  got  elected  to  an 
E-Board  position  and  as  of  Spring  2007 
became  Greek  Coordinator.  No  matter 
what  the  situation  is,  Kerry  knows  how 
I  to  handle  it.  She  is  always  spending 
time  in  the  Greek  office  organizing  and 
arranging  philanthropic  events,  like 
Santa's  Workshop  and  weekly  meetings 
with  the  presidents  of  all  the  Greek 
organizations.  Her  goal,  as  Greek  Coor- 


dinator, was  to  unite  all  the  fraternities 
and  sororities  on-campus  to  make  them 
into  one  big  family. 

Without  Greek  Life,  Kerry  explained 
how  she  would  not  be  the  person  she 
is  today.  One  of  the  most  import- 
ant things  she  emphasizes  is  "nobody 
is  perfect!  It  is  very  wearing  trying 
to  be  a  perfectionist  but  you  can't  forget 
to  have  fun."  Being  involved  helped  her 
develop  amazing  time-management 
skills  and  great  personable  qualities 
which  will  be  very  helpful  in  her  future 
nursing  career.

Alpha  Sigma  Tau . 

These  sisters  know  how  fortunate  they  are,  so  they  go  be- 
yond the  classroom  to  help  those  in  need. 


Erica  Keenan 


In  today's  society,  there  are  many  college  students  who  are 
simply  characterized  as  fun,  energetic,  and  just  looking  for 
a  good  time.  The  Alpha  Sigma  Tau  women  have  these  impor- 
tant qualities,  but  they  are  not  only  defined  by  them.  They 
are  also  full  of  ambition,  creativity,  and  strength.  These  sis- 
ters have  been  a  part  of  UMD  for  more  than  five  years  now 
and  are  still  constantly  growing  and  learning  from  each  other. 
The  sorority  became  nationally  known  in  1899  and  became 
a  local  chapter  in  1999.  Though  Alpha  Sigma  Tau  is  a  young 
member  of  our  community,  it  still  contributes  greatly  to 
our  campus  through  its  various  morals  and  guidelines.  Alpha 
Sigma  Tau  believes  that  friendship  is  the  key  to  success  in 
its  chapter,  and  its  members  commit  very  much  to  tradition. 
This  sisterhood  has  always  valued  the  contributions  each 
member  makes  to  the  chapter  experience  and  has  always  en- 
couraged new  ideas  and  new  members.  It  is  a  sorority  which 
is  very  open  minded,  and  makes  sure  to  embrace  all  that 
women  have  to  offer  to  a  community. 

As  busy  as  college  life  can  be,  these  women  still  find  time 
to  help  others  and  make  a  difference.  They  help  as  much  as 
they  can,  devoting  hours  of  work  and  service  to  their  local 
communities.  Because  of  the  amount  of  help  and  dedication, 
most  of  the  sisters  are  rewarded  in  the  end.  Each  member 
is  given  scholarship  opportunities  through  the  Alpha  Sigma 
Tau  National  Foundation,  Inc.,  which  provides  over  thirty 
scholarships  to  members  each  year.  Alpha  Sigma  Tau  has  also 
provided  members  with  opportunities  to  give  back  to  their 
local  communities  and  even  the  nation  through  their  Habitat 
for  Humanity  network,  Pin  Mountain  Settlement  School, 


and  many  more  local  charities.  Almost  every  year  members 
from  the  sorority  contribute  nearly  60,000  hours  of  service 
and  raise  over  $1,000,000  in  donations.  The  sisters  have 
always  been  proud  of  the  work  and  service  they  have  accom- 
plished over  the  years  and  continue  to  spread  the  name  of 
Alpha  Sigma  Tau  for  everyone  to  have  the  opportunity  to  join. 

If  you  are  unfamiliar  with  what  is  called  Operation  3H's,  it 
is  an  Alpha  Sigma  Tau  alumnae  philanthropic  endeavor  de- 
signed to  support  the  Warrior  Transition  Unit  at  the  United 
States  Army  Garrison  Wiesbaden  located  in  Germany.  Opera- 
tion 3HS  was  named  for  the  three  most  important  aspects 
of  the  organization.  These  3H's  are  hope,  health,  and  healing, 
in  which  this  program  hopes  to  assist  the  soldiers  with.  All 
Alpha  Sigma  Tau  alumnae  and  alumnae  associates  are  always 
encouraged  to  take  part  in  this  pursuit.  Donations  are  also 
welcomed  from  others  whom  chose  to  support  the  cause,  but 
will  not  be  directly  solicited. 

With  all  of  these  characteristics  of  Alpha  Sigma  Tau,  one 
could  easily  see  the  gteat  qualities  this  sorority  has  to  offer. 
Together  as  sisters,  Alpha  Sigma  Tau  members  always  have 
each  others  backs,  whether  they  are  helping  out  in  a  local 
soup  kitchen  or  taking  advice  from  one  another,  these  sisters 
have  always  and  always  will  share  an  everlasting  bond. 


Delta  Pi  Omega . 

A  sisterhood  valued  in  trust,  honesty,  and  personal 
growth,  but  most  of  all:  friendship. 


Courtney  Nunes 


Sitting  around  one  of  the  girl's  rooms,  the  sisters  of  Delta 
Pi  Omega  get  together  for  a  game  they  call  Pandora's  Box. 
Its  a  game  of  Would  you  rather. . .  where  the  girls  come  up 
with  a  question  and  go  around  the  room  as  each  person 
answers.  As  a  way  of  getting  to  know  each  other  better,  this 
is  one  of  many  ways  in  which  the  girls  bond. 

Delta  Pi  Omega  was  founded  in  April  of  2004  by  seven  wo- 
men leaders  looking  for  an  alternative  to  the  current  and 
thriving  sororities  on  campus.  It  became  the  first  local  sor- 
ority at  UMD,  making  student  organization  history. 

Delta  Pi  Omega  is  a  fun,  friendly  sisterhood  of  women  who 
strive  for  academic  achievement  and  work  toward  bettering 
the  community  by  taking  part  in  different  philanthropic 
activities.  The  sisters  of  Delta  Pi  Omega  also  look  to  become 
strong  women  leaders,  and  are  devoted  to  trust,  honesty,  and 
the  encouragement  of  personal  growth.  They  build  lasting, 
loyal  friendships  by  supporting  each  other  as  they  progress 
together  in  order  to  reach  their  goals  as  individals  as  well  as 
a  sorority.  Currently  there  are  56  members  in  total,  27  of  who 
are  active  members  who  attend  meetings  and  an  addition- 
al 13  candidates  for  membership.  The  sisters  are  dedicated 
to  educating  and  supporting  each  other  as  they  face  the  many 
challenges  they  come  across  on  a  daily  basis.  It  is  through 
this  support  system  of  close  friends  that  the  girls  accomplish 
their  goals. 

The  girls  of  Delta  Pi  Omega  could  often  be  found  in  the 
Campus  Center,  tabling  for  different  events.  The  sisters  hoped 
to  grant  a  wish  by  holding  a  benefit  show  for  the  Make- 
A-Wish  Foundation.  Three  bands  including  Baylock, 
Stealing  Jane,  and  HelloMahalo  performed  at  the 
sorority's  Rock  A  Wish  concert  in  April. 

The  girls  also  took  part  in  the  Autism 
Speaks  Walk  in  Rhode  Island,  where  the 
proceeds  benefit  the  National  Alliance 
for  Autism  Research.  Other  commu- 
nity service  projects  include  Breast 
Cancer  Walks,  child  care  events  at 
the  YMCA  and  YWCA,  and  working 
with  campus  ministry  by  volunteer- 
ing at  local  soup  kitchens.  Every 
April,  the  women  of  Delta  Pi 
Omega  participated  in  Relay  for 
Life,  and  every  December  they 
attended  a  Senior  Citizen 
Luncheon  along  with  the  rest 
of  Greek  Life  on  campus. 


In  the  past,  a  the  sisters  worked  with  St.  Vincent's  in  order 
to  give  Christmas  gifts  to  underprivileged  children,  and  even 
baked  dog  treats  for  Animal  Advocates. 

With  all  of  the  philanthropy  projects  the  organization  takes 
part  in,  there  was  always  situations  available  for  the  sisters  to 
display  and  improve  their  leadership  skills.  One  sister  of 
Delta  Pi  Omega,  Elizabeth  lannotti  said,  "We  never  go  any- 
where alone.  We're  very  much  a  team." Since  joining  the 
sorority,  Liz  said  she  has  become  far  more  comfortable  taking 
charge  of  a  group  and  has  improved  her  management  skills. 
She  has  also  become  overall  more  outgoing  and  prompt.  Liz 
said  the  best  thing  about  being  a  sister  of  Delta  Pi  Omega 
has  been  the  networking.  She  has  a  big  family  at  home  and 
claims,  If  it  wasn't  for  Delta  Pi  Omega,  this  wouldn't  be  my 
home  away  from  home." 

Although  the  girls  are  all  really  different,  they  all  share  some 
common  characteristics.  Each  sister  has  the  desire  to  help 
both  people  and  communities,  has  a  strong  sense  of  caring 
and  compassion,  and  a  common  enjoyment  of  social  inter- 
actions. The  female  camaraderie  of  Delta  Pi  Omega  makes  it 
what  it  is — a  group  of  women  closer  than  friends,  sisters.

Phi  Sigma  Sigma 

These  sisters  truly  make  an  impact  in  not  only  each  other's 
lives,  but  lives  across  the  globe. 


Danielle  Santoro 


Monday's  mark  the  day  for  one  of  Phi  Sigma  Sigma' s  weekly 
meetings.  Every  Monday,  the  Phi  Sig  girls  come  together 
to  address  issues  and  upcoming  events.  Seeing  these  sisters 
together  clearly  shows  the  strong  bond  they  hold.  The  girls 
eagerly  embrace  new  members  and  quickly  chat  over  person- 
al issues  occurring  in  their  lives  before  the  meeting  begins. 

This  year  is  an  exciting  time  for  Phi  Sig  because  there  are 
many  new  members  holding  leadership  positions.  Recently 
the  officers  attended  the  Regional  Leadership  Conference 
to  learn  about  all  their  vital  duties  of  their  positions.  These 
girls  pride  themselves  in  being  an  inspirational  leader  to 
others  and  staying  involved  in  the  community. 

With  over  forty  active  members,  it  is  amazing  how  all  these 
girls  still  manage  to  stay  connected  in  each  other's  lives.  One 
way  that  makes  the  Phi  Sig  girls  great  at  developing  relat- 
ionship with  the  new  and  old  members  is  by  hosting  theme 
nights.  These  are  special  nights  dedicated  to  participating 
in  fun  activities  while  getting  to  know  all  the  sisters. 

Phi  Sigma  Sigma  is  one  of  the  oldest  sororities  on  campus 
and  was  founded  in  1996.  It  has  45  members,  9  of  which  are 
officers.  It  is  a  national  chapter  that  was  originally  founded 
in  1913  in  Maryland  where  the  organization's  motto  came 
about.  The  Phi  Sig  motto  is  to  Aim  High  and  that  is  exactly 
what  these  sisters  do  on  an  everyday  basis.  Always  setting 
goals  for  themselves  and  the  community  has  helped  them 
accomplish  great  things  thus  far.  The  Phi  Sigma  Sigma 
sister's  outstanding  lists  of  philanthropic  events  they  have 


participated  in  include  the  National  Kidney  Foundation 
and  the  Relay  for  Life.  This  year  the  girls  started  a  new 
endeavor,  which  they  are  extremely  passionate  about.  They 
placed  boxes  around  campus  and  collected  loose  change 
from  students  and  other  generous  donators.  All  the  money 
they  raised  went  to  the  UNICEF  organization,  which  feeds 
malnourished  children  in  third  world  countries. 

All  the  girls  agreed  how  being  a  part  of  Phi  Sig  has  been  such 
a  fulfilling  experience.  The  diverse  members  add  uniqueness 
to  the  group.  They  have  made  a  number  of  lifelong  friends 
and  have  learned  a  lot  about  themselves  by  assisting  others 
in  the  community.  The  President  of  Phi  Sig,  Sara  Faulkner, 
explained  how"it  is  great  to  be  involved  with  a  group  that 
shares  the  same  beliefs  as  you." 

The  sisters  also  mentioned  how  they  love  being  such  a  ma- 
jor support  system  in  each  others  lives.  This  tight  knit  group 
of  girls  always  can  turn  to  each  other  for  advice  in  school 
or  other  life  challenges.  All  the  great  accomplishments  the 
Phi  Sigma  Sigma  organization  has  achieved  is  through  all 
the  help  of  the  sisters  working  together  as  a  team.  They  tru- 
ly make  an  impact  it  not  only  each  others  live,  but  lives 
across  the  globe. 


lota  Delta  Nu 

For  these  girls,  sisterhood  came  first,  but  it 
wasn't  their  only  commitment. 


Courtney  Nunes 


After  feeling  as  if  they  didn't  completely  fit  into  the  other 
sororities  on  campus,  a  group  of  women  decided  to  form 
their  own  organization  in  order  to  give  girls  another  option. 
Iota  Delta  Nu  became  the  newest  local  sorority  at  UMD 
during  the  spring  of  2007.  The  five  founders  of  the  sorority 
were  Johanna  Hobin,  Connie  DeCarcey,  Michelle  Hall, 
Meghan  Thompson,  and  Julie  Raimondi.  They  felt  that  by 
forming  Iota  Delta  Nu  they  had  begun  something  that 
they  were  able  to  mold.  By  the  end  of  the  organization's 
second  year,  Iota  Delta  Nu  consisted  of  30  members. 

Members  oflota  Delta  Nu,  also  known  as  the  Iotas,  placed 
value  in  leadership,  diversity,  academic  excellence,  and  friend- 
ship. The  Iotas  were  devoted  to  community  involvement 
and  their  local  philanthropy,  which  was  children's  literacy. 
The  sisters'  kept  true  to  their  motto,  which  was  to  Love  thy 
Sister.  Iota  Delta  Nu  served  as  a  support  system  for  women 
and  provided  a  path  of  self  discovery  through  sisterhood. 

Community  building  was  also  a  huge  part  oflota  Delta  Nu 
in  which  the  girls  gained  leadership  experience.  One  of  the 
events  that  the  sisters  participated  in  was  the  annual  Senior 
Citizen  Banquet,  in  which  the  girls  cooked  and  served  a  ho- 
liday meal  to  the  elderly.  Other  philanthropic  activities  the 
members  of  Iota  Delta  Nu  took  part  in  were  the  American 
Cancer  Society's  Relay  for  Life  and  various  walks  to  benefit 
autism  research. 

Iota  Delta  Nu's  sisterhood  contained  a  diverse  group  of 
women  that  ranged  from  the  quiet  girls  to  the  loud  and  pr- 
oud. Every  sister  contributed  something  unique  to  the  so- 
rority, as  each  was  really  different.  Sisters  oflota  Delta  Nu 
were  Orientation  Leaders,  Residence  Assistants,  university 
athletes,  members  of  Psi  Chi,  members  of  the  Golden  Key 
Honor  Society,  and  tutors  for  the  American  Reads  program. 

Iota  Delta  Nu  offered  women  on  campus  a  chance  to  not 
only  help  others,  but  to  also  better  themselves  through 
support  and  motivation.  The  networking  that  the  sorority 
provided  allowed  these  women  an  opportunity  to  not  only 
make  friends,  but  sisters.

David  Gerth: 

With  his  confident  attitude  and  approachable  demeanor,  David  will 
leave  big  shoes  to  fill. 


Soraya  Jonet-Branco 
Chi-Hang  AndyFung 


Being  a  transfer  student  is  always  a  hard 
adjustment  since  you  have  to  leave  a 
place  where  you're  comfortable,  start  off 
fresh,  and  surround  yourself  with  a 
new  group  of  people.  But  David  Gerth's 
passionate  and  driven  approach  led 
him  to  adjust  to  the  UMD  life  just  fine. 

Being  a  part  of  a  fraternity  at  his  prior 
school,  David  decided  to  continue  being 
a  part  of  something  that  makes  a  differ- 
ence. His  life  has  done  a  180  since  being 
at  this  campus.  David  credits  taking  an 
initiative  to  get  involved  as  to  why  he's 
changed  into  the  leader  he  is  today. 

His  hard  work  and  dedication  led  him  to 
become  president  of  Phi  Kappa  Theta, 
an  Orientation  Leader,  and  treasurer 


of  the  class  of  2008.  Being  a  market- 
ing major  involved  with  a  handful  of 
organizations  leads  to  a  very  chaotic 
schedule,  that  includes  numerous 
responsibilities  and  duties.  Yet  he  still 
finds  time  to  golf,  play  the  drums,  and 
attend  events  with  his  fraternity  broth- 
ers. After  graduating,  David  hopes  to 
land  a  sports-related  marketing  job  and 
stay  very  active  in  the  community, 
especially  with  the  fraternity. 

David  loves  everything  about  UMD, 
especially  how  the  campus  allows 
people  to  be  who  they  are  and  do  what 
they  love.  Each  day  he  is  able  to  do 
what  he  is  passionate  about  and  puts 
his  heart  and  soul  into  it.  When  David 
looks  back  at  his  time  at  UMD,  he  can 


be  grateful  that  he  made  the  best  of 
these  four  years  and  that  he  made  a 
difference  in  the  community.  He  advises 
seniors  to  "try  hard  to  make  the  most 
of  this  time  and  to  be  passionate  because 
it  is  much  more  than  just  school."

Phi  Kappa  Theta . 

Brotherhood  is  an  eternal  bond  that  can  never  be  broken. 


Erica  Keenan 


Phi  Kappa  Theta  has  been  around  for  many  years,  dating 
back  until  1889  when  it  was  first  founded  and  five  years 
ago  the  Massachusetts  Kappa  Theta  Chapter  of  Phi  Kappa 
Theta  was  founded.  Since  then  the  fraternity  has  stayed 
strong,  recruiting  young  men  who  are  determined  and  want 
to  have  fun  throughout  their  years  at  the  UMD.  Out  of 
the  five  fraternities  on  campus,  Phi  kappa  Theta  is  definitely 
one  of  the  most  active  in  the  community  sticking  to  one 
motto,  give,  expecting  nothing  thereof. 

It  all  started  when  Jarod  Winters  transferred  from  the  Uni- 
versity of  New  Hampshire  mentioned  to  fellow  UMD  student, 
Steve  McBride  that  he  was  part  of  an  amazing  fraternity, 
Phi  Kappa  Theta  at  UNH.  Jarod  realized  that  the  fraternity 
did  not  exist  on  his  new  campus  so  he  knew  that  had  to 
change.  Jarod  then  proposed  the  idea  of  forming  a  chapter 
of  Phi  Kappa  Theta  at  UMD  to  Steve.  Events  were  soon 
planned  and  they  started  handing  out  flyers  around  campus 
promoting  the  fraternity.  It  was  not  before  long  until  informa- 
tion meetings  were  held,  resulting  in  12  brothers  pledging. 

These  groups  of  men  have  not  only  shared  their  fun  spirit- 
ed attitudes  with  their  fellow  classmates,  but  have  particpated 
in  many  events  involving  the  community  and  the  student 
body.  A  great  example  of  this  is  the  Relay  for  Life.  This  event 
consists  of  an  all  night  walk  around  campus  raising  money 
for  the  American  Cancer  Society.  They  have  also  raised  money 
for  Operations  First  Response  and  have  contributed  to  the 
Senior  Citizen's  Holiday  Party.  If  you  missed  out  on  any  of 
those  events,  you  could  also  catch  them  in  the  next  town 


over  in  Fall  River  at  Jake's  Bar  where  their  positive  energy 
sets  the  mood  for  the  night. 

They  have  worked  hard  in  order  to  promote  their  fraternity 
and  encourage  any  student  who  takes  interest  in  joining. 
These  brothers  have  stuck  with  one  main  principle  and  that 
is  to  break  the  stereotype  of  usual  fraternities.  This  frater- 
nity has  come  a  long  was  since  April  20, 2002,  where  they 
started  off  with  no  brothers.  Now  they  are  one  of  the 
largest  fraternities  on  this  campus.  This  year  has  been  a  huge 
success  in  the  amount  of  brothers  who  have  pledged, 
with  a  total  of  85  members  and  36  active  members  it  is  no 
wonder  why  their  name  is  seen  all  around  campus. 

Because  the  fraternity  has  been  around  for  so  long,  there  have 
been  a  few  familiar  and  very  important  figures  in  history 
that  have  taken  part  in  the  fraternity,  starting  with  President 
John  F.  Kennedy  and  co-founder  of  Microsoft,  Paul  Alan, 
was  a  brother  as  well.  These  important  figures  are  role  models 
for  future  chapters  and  pledges,  to  show  them  how  much 
they  are  capable  of  accomplishing.  These  brothers  take  pride 
in  who  they  are  and  have  an  amazing  bond  that  will  never 
break.  Starting  new  friendships,  creating  strong  bonds,  and 
making  a  difference,  in  the  lives  of  others  and  your  own, 
is  an  opportunity  that  should  not  be  passed. 


Chi  Phi 


Truth,  honor,  and  integrity. 


Courtney  Nunes 


Cheering  on  the  Corsairs  basketball  team  in  the  gym,  sprint- 
ing across  the  grass  during  a  game  of  Ultimate  Frisbee,  or 
just  hanging  out  watching  a  movie  on  a  Sunday  night,  these 
were  some  of  the  typical  activities  that  brought  the  brothers 
of  Chi  Phi  together.  Brotherhood  events  like  these  were  what 
influenced  the  friendships  within  the  fraternity. 

Chi  Phi  was  originally  founded  as  a  national  fraternity 
on  December  24,1824  at  Princeton  University,  making  it  the 
oldest  social  collegiate  fraternity  in  history.  It  wasn't  until 
November  5,2002  that  the  fraternity  was  locally  founded,  and 
2004  until  Chi  Phi  was  affiliated  nationally.  After  receiving 
its  charter,  the  UMD  colony  officially  became  the  Lambda 
Theta  Chapter  of  the  Chi  Phi  fraternity  on  October  20,2006. 

Built  on  the  three  principles  coming  directly  from  their 
motto,  the  brothers  of  Chi  Phi  placed  great  value  in  truth, 
honor,  and  personal  integrity.  The  men  sought  to  better 
themselves  through  lifelong  friendships,  leadership  oppor- 
tunities, and  character  development.  By  joining  the  frater 
nity,  the  men  were  able  to  strengthen  their  social  attributes, 
communication,  and  academic  skills. 


Sean  also  said  that  what  he  liked  about  Chi  Phi  was  that  it 
wasn't  a  fraternity  that  was  similar  to  those  portrayed  by  the 
media  where  the  members  all  look  the  same,  constantly 
drink,  and  have  to  do  stupid  or  dangerous  stunts  in  order  to 
pledge.  Since  joining  Chi  Phi,  Sean  said  that  he  has  be- 
come much  more  sociable  and  has  made  a  lot  of  really  close 
friends.  He  also  claimed  that  becoming  a  member  of  Chi 
Phi  was  one  of  the  best  decisions  of  his  life. 

By  pledging  to  the  fraternity,  each  member  became  a  part 
of  a  network  of  brothers  who  served  as  a  support  system  and 
motivator  for  each  other.  Chi  Phi's  diversity  of  brothers 
has  enabled  each  member  to  learn  about  others  as  they  worked 
towards  bettering  themselves  and  their  community. 


Chi  Phis  national  philanthropy  was  working  with  the 
Boys  and  Girls  Club.  The  brothers  often  tutored  at  the  Boys 
and  Girls  Club,  and  also  contributed  to  the  building  of 
a  new  playground  there.  Another  community  service  project 
that  the  fraternity  participated  in  was  the  annual  Relay 
for  Life  walk,  where  proceedings  went  to  support  research 
to  fight  cancer.  Along  with  the  Delta  Pi  Omega  soro- 
rity, the  Chi  Phi  brothers  also  took  part  in  the  Toys  for  Tots 
program,  where  they  helped  children  in  need  by  sending 
them  presents  during  Christmas  time.  By  working  with  these 
charitable  organizations,  the  brothers  were  able  to  better 
their  own  lives  by  helping  others. 

Aside  from  taking  part  in  various  philanthropy  projects,  the 
men  also  came  together  for  different  social  events.  The  bro- 
thers tried  each  year  to  schedule  at  least  one  social  event  with 
each  of  the  other  fraternities  and  sororities  on  campus  in 
order  to  meet  new  people.  They  also  got  together  each  year 
for  the  Alumni  Holiday  Dinner. 

Chi  Phi  was  accepting  of  everyone  and  was  made  up  of  a  di- 
versity of  brothers.  There  was  no  hazing,  and  each  of  the  36 
members  was  accepting  of  people  of  every  sex,  creed,  and 
orientation.  Each  member  brought  something  unique  to  the 
fraternity  based  on  who  they  were.  One  brother  of  Chi  Phi, 
Sean  Murphy  said  that  he  learned  more  about  himself 
by  learning  about  others.  "What  you  learn  from  diversity, 
is  what  you  don't  learn  in  the  classroom," said  Sean.

Their  great  achievements  on  and  off  campus  make  them  great 
Rho-models.

Whether  they  are  putting  on  community  service  events  or 
hosting  dance  socials,  Sigma  Phi  Rho's  upbeat  and  energetic 
attitude  makes  them  well-known  on  campus.  The  brothers 
of  Sigma  Phi  Rho  Inc.  have  great  team-working  skills  because 
they  have  achieved  so  much  with  only  19  members  in  the 
group.  Much  like  the  other  Greek  Life  organizations, 
their  extensive  list  of  accomplishments  make  them  great 
role  models  in  the  UMD  community. 

Sigma  Phi  Rho  Inc.  is  a  national  fraternity  that  was  found- 
ed out  of  Statin  Island,  NY,  back  in  1979.  It  came  to  campus 
in  April  2002  and  emphasized  the  motto  of  strong  character 
and  good  moral  judgments  are  the  essence  of  dignity.  The  brothers 
are  expected  to  be  diligent  individuals  on  and  off  campus. 

Campus  unity  is  really  important  to  the  Pvho  brothers;  they 
always  try  to  get  students  involved  in  not  only  fun  activi- 
ties, but  also  educational  ones.  One  entertaining  event  to  par- 
take in  is  Rho  Week.  This  is  an  exciting  week  filled  with 
basketball  tournaments,  movies  nights  and  dance  socials.  One 
special  treat  of  the  dance  socials  is  the  step  performances  of 
the  Sigma  Phi  Rho  brothers.  These  men  have  mastered  the  art 
of  step  dancing  and  have  used  their  skills  to  raise  money 
for  the  Shriners  Hospital  in  Boston.  Their  passion  for  dance 
has  also  made  it  a  great  hobby  for  the  team  to  do  together. 
They  have  been  able  to  travel  around  the  Northeast  displaying 
their  one-of-a-kind  dance  moves. 


othets  aware  of  AIDS  and  to  help  the  victims  of  HIV.  In  addi- 
tion, the  brothers  of  Sigma  Phi  Rho  Inc.  also  dedicate 
theit  time  to  helping  younger  high  school  students.  Recently, 
they  created  a  mentoring  program  for  students  of  the  New 
Bedford  Regional  Vocational  Technical  High  School.  Setting  a 
positive  example  to  young  males  in  the  school  is  very  im- 
portant to  the  brothers.  They  work  with  the  students  and  help 
prepare  them  for  college  by  assisting  them  in  the  applicat- 
ion process  and  giving  them  a  taste  of  what  college  life  is  like. 
Simple  presence  in  the  students'  life  has  encouraged  the 
high  school  students  to  set  goals  and  keep  their  mind  on  what 
they  can  accomplish  in  the  future. 

The  brothers  of  Sigma  Phi  Rho  Inc.  clearly  do  a  great  deal 
for  each  other  and  others  in  the  community.  President, 
Michael  Andrade  explained  how,  "Greek  life  has  been  an  all 
positive  experience.  It  has  given  me  structure  and  a  sense 
of  the  bonds  of  brotherhood."  They  take  pride  in  being  strong 
leaders  and  setting  a  good  example  for  others.  The  diverse 
members  have  kept  the  organization  fdled  with  innovative 
and  unique  ideas.  The  willingness  to  volunteer  time  and  deve- 
lop bonds  with  the  brothers  have  facilitated  in  the  successful- 
ness  of  the  organization. 


This  year  has  also  marked  the  eighth  annual  AIDS  benefit. 
This  is  a  very  educational  community  service  event  to  make 


Theta  Delta  Chi 

Theta  Delta  Chi  is  a  brotherhood  founded  on  mutual 
esteem  and  dependence.

The  brothers  ofTheta  Delta  Chi  are  constantly  searching  and 
welcoming  new  members  all  year  around.  The  fraternity 
has  never  discouraged  their  fellow  classmates  from  joining  other 
Greek  otganizations,  but  instead  encouraged  them  to  look  fur- 
ther into  their  fraternity  as  well.  But  let's  be  honest,  who  would 
not  want  to  be  apart  ofTheta  Delta  Chi?  With  all  it  has  to 
offer,  you  would  find  yourself  statting  a  new  chapter  in  your  life 
that  kept  unfolding  into  something  greater  everyday. 

The  journey  ofTheta  Delta  Chi  all  started  with  the  state- 
ment, let's  start  a  fraternity.  Three  undergraduates  had  watched 
the  film  Van  Wildet  and  became  inspired  to  start  their  own 
fraternity.  The  men  knew  they  were  in  for  a  long  ride  but  after 
approaching  a  few  friends  with  the  idea,  the  men  knew  they 
wanted  a  fraternity  that  had  a  strong  New  England  represen- 
tation. It  was  not  before  long  when  they  found  theit  perfect 
match,  Theta  Delta  Chi.  To  the  young  men's  surprise,  the 
fraternity's  headquartets  happened  to  be  located  in  Boston.  As 
soon  as  possible,  they  contacted  the  charge  consultant  so  they 
could  begin  the  process  of  starting  the  fraternity  at  the  UMD 

Each  semester  Theta  Delta  Chi  collects  meals  from  Res  Cafe 
in  order  to  raise  money  for  their  philanthropy,  The  Jimmy 
V.  Foundation.  The  idea  of  the  fundraiser  has  always  been  to 
donate  the  most  meals  as  possible,  the  more  meals,  the 
more  money  is  raised  to  hand  over  to  the  charity.  The  frater- 
nity has  had  much  success  over  the  years,  raising  several 
thousand  dollars.  They  have  also  participated  in  Relay  for  Life 
raising  money  for  the  cancer  foundation.  The  brothers  of 
Theta  Delta  Chi  have  enjoyed  much  of  their  time  participating 
in  these  events  while  having  fun  at  the  same  time.  One  of 
the  events  they  have  participated  in  was  the  Polar  Plunge,  which 
took  place  at  Plymouth  beach,  where  the  brothers  jumped 
into  the  frigid  ocean  wearing  nothing  but  shorts.  Not  only  did 
they  have  the  time  of  their  lives,  but  also  raised  money  for 
a  new  cancer  wing  at  Jordan's  Hospital. 

Although  Theta  Delta  Chi  has  been  around  since  1847,  the  local 

organization  was  founded  in  2005.  Since  then  it  has  turned 

into  one  of  the  largest  and  most  popular  fraternities 

on  campus.  Because  they  accept  new  membets  all 

year  around,  it  makes  it  easier  to  take  a  part  in 

this  amazing  opportunity.  With  35  brothers 

this  yeat,  it  is  no  wonder  why  their  colors 

blue,  black,  and  white  have  been  seen 

all  around  campus.  These  brothers  are 

very  proud  of  each  other  and  will 

continue  to  grow  as  a  family  into 

manhood. 


Sigma  Tau  Gamma 


Danielle  Santoro 


Life  is  a  highway  and  the  Sig  Tau  brothers  are  working  hard  to 
pave  the  way  for  future  generations. 


Joining  a  fraternity  will  allow  you  to  experience  college  in 
the  best  possible  way. . .  It  will  give  you  the  leadership  experi- 
ence that  you  will  take  with  you  to  yout  first  job  out  of  col- 
ege"  explained  Edgat  Roth,  president  of  Sigma  Tau  Gamma. 
This  organization  has  helped  shape  the  ideals  of  its  mem- 
bers by  emphasizing  six  main  principles:  value,  learning, 
leadership,  excellence,  benefit  and  integrity. 

Sigma  Tau  Gamma  is  a  national  fraternity  founded  in  1920 
out  of  Warrensburg,  Missouri.  It  was  established  on  campus 
in  1995  as  the  Epsilon  Kappa  Chapter.  Sig  Tau  enjoys  host- 
ing many  social  events  on  campus  to  strengthen  their  own 
bond  and  to  interact  with  the  intriguing  individuals  of  the 
UMD  community.  They  are  especially  well-known  for  their 
entertaining  rock  climbing,  bowling,  midnight  kickball,  and 
club  nights  in  and  around  the  Dartmouth  area.  In  addition, 
they  organize  the  annual  White  Rose  event,  named  after 
their  fraternity  flower,  which  celebrates  the  members'  dili- 
gent efforts  throughout  the  year. 

This  organization  donates  much  of  their  time  in  assisting 
others  and  contributing  to  Books  for  Kids,  the  national  char- 
ity of  Sig  Tau.  The  brothers  also  participate  in  walks  with 
the  YWCA  and  the  Fall  River  Boys  and  Girls  Club.  As  well 
as  offering  much  of  their  time  to  the  New  Bedford  home- 
less shelter  and  fundraising  events  on  campus  like  the  Relay 
for  Life.  Currently,  the  boys  are  discussing  plans  to  join  the 
"Adopt-a-Highway" project,  which  will  benefit  our  environ- 
ment by  cleaning  and  maintain  a  portion  of  the  highway. 


The  brothers  of  Sigma  Tau  Gamma  have  gone  on  to  do  great 
things  in  society.  Today,  there  are  many  that  hold  govern- 
ment positions,  are  the  CEOs  of  large  companies,  and  are 
radio /television  personalities.  These  individuals  started  out 
being  involved  students  on-campus,  participating  in  many 
activities  like  orientation  leaders  and  tour  guides. 

Roth  described  that,  "Being  a  brother  of  Sigma  Tau  Gamma 
was  the  best  decision  I  ever  made.  It  opened  up  many  doors 
and  gave  me  experiences  I  could  never  have  otherwise  gain- 
ed. I  am  president  and  it  is  something  that  I  would  have 
never  thought  I  would  be  when  I  was  in  high  school.  I  have 
met  people  that  I  know  I  will  be  friends  with  for  the  rest 
of  my  life." 

The  brothers  of  Sigma  Tau  Gamma  have  made  a  great  diff- 
erence over  the  years  by  staying  true  to  their  original  beliefs 
that  the  fraternity  established.  They  have  raised  money 
for  a  number  of  charities  and  have  helped  make  its  presence 
well  known  on-campus  by  holding  different  entertaining 
events  that  appealed  to  all  UMD  students.  The  experience  of 
the  great  support  system,  volunteer  work,  and  contribu- 
tions made  have  allowed  them  to  grow  into  outstanding  indi- 
viduals. Following  the  six  principles  they  have  learned  will 
allow  them  to  have  continual  success  in  their  future  careers.

Greek  Charity 


Danielle  Santoro 
Chi-Hang  AndyFung 


The  brothers  and  sisters  of  Greek  Life  are  always  trying  new 
ways  to  give  back  to  the  community  each  and  every  year. 


For  all  members  of  Greek  life,  philanthropy  is  as  important 
as  any  brother/sister  bond.  All  the  fraternities  and  sororities 
come  together  every  year  to  participate  in  the  Relay  for  Life 
Event  to  support  the  American  Cancer  Society:  the  most 
popular  philanthropic  event  on  campus. 

Knowledge  is  power  and  it  is  a  goal  of  these  organizations 
to  expand  the  knowledge  of  others  in  the  community.  Sigma 
Phi  Rho  hosts  an  annual  AIDS  benefit  to  raise  money,  pro- 
mote awareness,  and  help  others  understand  how  this  disease 
is  a  global  threat.  The  Chi  Phi  and  Sigma  Tau  Gamma  bro- 
thers along  with  the  sisters  of  Iota  Delta  Nu  understand  the 
importance  of  reading.  They  encourage  literacy  in  children 
through  tutoring  and  giving  donations. 


Many  under  privileged  children  around  the  world  are  not 
able  to  get  the  appropriate  health  care  and  treatment.  There- 
fore, Phi  Kappa  Theta  has  donated  to  the  Children's  Miracle 
Network  to  improve  their  treatment  options.  The  Phi  Sigma 
Sigma  sisters  contributed  to  UNICEF  to  feed  mal-nourished 
children  and  the  Delta  Pi  Omega  sisters  helped  the  Make-A- 
Wish  foundation  grant  a  child's  wish  who  suffers  from  a  ter- 
minal illness. 

Other  members  of  Greek-life  spend  their  time  bettering  the 
environment  and  the  community's  physical  appearance 
around  them.  Theta  Delta  Chi  also  does  a  beach  clean  up, 
while  Alpha  Sigma  Tau  assists  Habitat  for  Humanity  and 
raises  money  for  local  charities  for  community  development.

Greek  Life  has  indeed  made  its  presence  well  known  on  cam- 
pus and  in  the  community.  They  are  always  taking  time  out 
of  their  busy  lives  to  assist  the  community  and  put  on  social 
events  to  encourage  student  involvement.  Corey  Donovan, 
a  member  of  TDX,  explained  that  "philanthropy  is  a  large  part 
of  Greek  Life  and  being  able  to  come  together  to  make 
a  difference  in  a  community  or  at  school  always  means  a  lot 
to  us."  It  not  only  means  a  lot  to  them,  but  also  to  the  chari- 
ties that  uses  their  assistance  to  better  the  world  around  them. 


Erin  Dacey- 

When  a  new  opportunity  emerges,  Erin  Dacey  always  rises 
to  the  occasion. 


Soraya  Jonet-Branco 
Chi-Hang  Andy  Fung 


Most  students  saw  Erin  Dacey  either 
in  a  nursing  class,  an  organization  meet- 
ing, or  partying  at  The  Catwalk.  It 
was  impossible  to  not  see  her  around 
since  she  was  involved  with  so  many 
aspects  of  student  life. 

As  a  freshman  commuter,  it  can  be 
pretty  hard  to  participate  with  things 
going  on  on-campus,  but  Erin  dedi- 
cated herself  to  meeting  new  people 
and  making  the  best  of  every  situation 
that  came  her  way.  With  her  bubbly 
and  personable  personality,  Erin  quick- 
ly adjusted  to  college  and  began  get- 
ting involved.  Her  determination  and 
confident  attitude  led  her  to  pledge 
for  Delta  Pi  Omega,  an  organization 
where  she  could  grow  and  thrive, 


with  the  support  of  her  sisters.  Even 
with  demanding  nursing  classes,  her 
leadership  qualities  have  led  her  to 
become  2008  class  president,  orienta- 
tion leader,  RA,  and  homecoming 
queen.  And  you  thought  your  schedule 
was  hectic! 

Taking  on  these  roles,  Erin  understood 
that  it  meant  a  lot  of  hard  work  and 
motivation.  These  organizations  have 
become  more  than  just  an  extracurricu- 
lar activity  to  her.  Although  it  is  hard 
work,  being  involved  has  been  one 
of  the  most  memorable  experiences  that 
she's  had  here  and  the  people  in  these 
organizations  have  become  like  a  second 
family.  But  overcoming  the  stressful 
times  made  Erin  who  she  is  today — 


a  real  leader  who  accomplished  the 
goals  she  set  for  herself  day  one  of  col- 
lege. She  made  a  great  impact  on 
this  university  and  an  admirable  ex- 
ample for  others  to  follow. 

To  the  senior  class,  Erin  leaves  some 
advice,"  Challenge  yourself  to  get  the 
most  out  of  everything.  Don't  be  afraid 
to  make  mistakes  or  change  your  mind 
but  put  your  heart  into  everything 
because  it  is  then  that  you  can  say  you 
gave  100%  of  yourself  and  achieved 
greatness."

Jon  Garcia: 

Designing  a  path  that  will  keep  him  on  track  to  success. 


Courtney  Nunes 
Chi-Hang  Andy  Fung 


After  watching  his  uncle  run  distance 
in  the  Latin  Olympics,  Jon  Garcia's 
first  thought  was  "this  is  awesome."  For 
Jon's  own  track  career,  this  was  the 
spark  that  ignited  the  fire.  But  what 
prompted  him  to  run  was  seeing  his 
brother  excel  in  track.  Jon  figured,  "If 
my  brother  has  talent,  I  have  to  have 
talent."  After  winning  3  NCAA  champ- 
ionships and  6  All-America  honors, 
Jon  proved  that  his  brother  wasn't  the 
only  one  whose  ability  to  run  was 
exceptional. 

After  graduating  from  Stoneham  High 
School  and  coming  to  UMD,  Jon  said 
at  first  he  wasn't  going  to  do  track  in 
college.  After  thinking  it  over,  however, 
he  said,  "I  knew  I  had  to  pursue  it. 


I  kept  telling  myself,  I  have  this  talent, 
don't  let  it  go."  By  participating  in  both 
winter  and  spring  track,  Jon  admitted 
the  sport  has  pushed  him  to  pursue.  He 
described  track  by  saying,  "It's  me.  It's 
who  I  am." 

Throughout  his  career,  Jon  competed  in 
the  long  jump,  triple  jump,  and  hurdles. 
In  his  senior  year,  he  was  named  Regional 
Division  III  Indoor  Male  Track  Athlete 
of  the  Year  by  the  US  Track  &  Field  and 
Cross  Country  Coaches  Association. In 
2008  he  finished  first  in  the  55m  hurdles 
at  the  NCAAs  with  a  time  of  7.46  sec- 
onds. He  also  set  a  school  record  of  7.36 
seconds  in  the  55m  hurdles,  when  he 
competed  in  the  Open  New  Englands, 
where  he  came  in  second  place. 


As  a  graphic  design  major,  Jon  worked 
hard  to  balance  track  with  his  academ- 
ics. Along  with  the  support  he  received 
in  the  athletic  department,  what  he 
liked  most  about  UMass  was  the  great 
art  department.  Jon  said,  "I  really  love 
it  here.  I've  learned  to  see  things  differ- 
ently when  it  comes  to  art.  I  can  now 
see  what  makes  something  beautiful."  In 
his  spare  time,  Jon  enjoyed  coming  up 
with  new  designs  and  strengthening  his 
portfolio,  or  just  hanging  with  friends. 
According  to  Jon,  his  achievements 
both  on  and  off  the  track  have  made 
him  who  he  is  today.

Elizabeth  Fitzgerald 


Overcoming  all  of  life's  challenging  obstacles  with  a  positive  attitude,  now  that  is  a  true 
role  model. 


Soraya  Jonet-Branco 
Chi-Hang  Andy  Fung 


Being  an  athlete  requites  ttemendous 
dedication,  teamwork,  and  motivtion. 
All  spotts  demand  every  inch  of  muscle 
in  your  body,  every  ounce  of  energy 
in  you,  and  every  waking  moment  dedi- 
cating youtself  to  the  sport.  The  field 
hockey  team  is  a  close-knitted  group  of 
women  who  dedicate  themselves  to 
the  sport  everyday.  Many  of  the  girls  on 
the  team  know  Elizabeth  Fitzgerald  as 
the  outgoing,  adventurous,  and  friendly 
captain,  who  thrives  upon  the  inten- 
sity of  each  game. 

Liz  came  to  UMD  looking  for  new 
experiences  and  got  them  by  having  a 
double  majot  in  Humanities  and 
Social  Sciences,  getting  involved  in  the 
basketball  and  field  hockey  team, 


and  surrounding  herself  with  some 
of  the  best  of  friends  that  she  found 
here.  Her  motivation  led  her  to  excel  in 
sports,  as  well  as  in  academics,  while 
still  finding  time  to  enjoy  things  such 
as  shopping  and  going  to  the  gym. 
Halfway  through  her  senior  year,  Liz 
had  to  drop  out  of  school  because  she 
got  sick.  The  diagnosis  was  cancer. 
This  would  terrify  and  stop  anyone  in 
their  tracks.   However,  this  gave  Liz 
the  motivation  she  needed  to  get  better 
and  back  to  school  and  graduate. 

Being  back  in  school,  Liz  decided 
to  be  a  teacher,  so  that  she  can  be  a  role 
model  for  children,  just  as  her  grand- 
parents, who  were  alsoteachers,  did  for 
her.  By  coming  back  to  school,  she 


was  able  to  get  the  full  college  experi- 
ence, meet  some  inspirational  people, 
and  having  her  most  memorable  experi- 
ence here:  beating  Southern  Maine 
in  the  semi-finals  at  home.  Liz  shares  a 
piece  of  advice  from  her  own  experi- 
ence here,  to  "enjoy  it  while  you  can 
and  you  absolutely  cannot  take  it 
for  granted  because  it  goes  by  too  fast". 
Graduating  in  May,  Liz  recognizes 
the  positive  influences  in  her  life  that 
have  helped  her  through  all  of  life's 
challenges.  The  bond  that  the  field 
hockey  team  had  truly  made  an  impact 
on  Liz's  life.

Alma  Mater 

Valerie  Amaral  '08 


The  Class  of  2008  is  45%  female,  55%  male.  We  represent 
Massachusetts  and  countries  other  than  the  US.  We  entered 
with  an  average  SAT  score  of  11 60.  We  have  an  average 
GPAof3.2. 

And  look  at  what  we've  become. 

We  are  presidents  and  executive  board  members  of  orga- 
nizations. We  are  members  of  Greek  life.  We  are  26  athletic 
teams  and  116  student  organizations.  We  are  weekly  meet- 
ings. We  are  recruitment.  We  are  passing  out  quarter  sheets 
and  fliers. 

We  are  captains  of  teams.  We  are  NCAA  champions.  We  are 
Division  III  title  holders.  We  are  all  stars.  We're  record  hold- 
ers and  breakers.  We're  scholarship  winners.  We're  last  off 
the  court.  We're  laps  around  ring  road.  We're  grass  stains  that 
even  our  mothers  can't  get  out.  We're  Corsairs. 

We  are  Mr.  and  Ms.  UMD.  We  are  homecoming  kings  and 
queens.  We  love  Bev  at  Res.  We  are  large  Chippis  from 
Mirasols.  We're  Horseneck  beach  combers.  We're  birthday 
celebrations  at  Wasabi.  We  are  grilling  at  the  Dell.  We're 
Facebookers.  We're  searching  for  parking.  We  are  The 
Catwalk  on  Thursday  and  late  for  class  on  Friday  (And  we 
are  sorry  for  this).  We're  two  World  Series  winners.  We're 
die-hard  fans.  We  bleed  blue  and  gold. 

We  are  grant  writers.  We're  late  nights  at  the  library.  We're 
senior  design  projects.  We're  white  lab  coats.  We're  out  in 


the  community.  We  are  research  hours.  Practice  hours.  Clini- 
cal hours.  We  are  UMassers. 

We're  also  resilient.  We're  survivors.  We're  soldiers.  We're 
full-time  jobs.  We're  mothers,  fathers,  sons  and  daughters, 
brothers  and  sisters,  husbands  and  wives.  We're  first  genera- 
tion graduates.  We're  underdogs.  We're  Katrina  volunteers. 
We  are  humanitarians.  We're  open  hands,  hearts,  and  minds. 
We're  compassionate.  We're  dreamers.  We  are  achievers. 

We're  muses,  artists,  writers,  sculptors,  composers,  creators, 
painters,  and  photographers.  We're  group  sixers.  We're  com- 
ics and  magicians.  We're  late  nights  at  the  Star  Store.  We're 
bilingual  and  even  trilingual.  We're  Kekeli  drummers  and 
dancers.  We  know  No  Problemo,  Spicy  Lime  and  Union 
Street.  We  "ride  the  loop." 

We  see  beauty  in  the  everyday.  We're  beyond  our  education. 
We're  confident  in  our  abilities  and  successes.  We've  taken 
memories.  We've  learned.  We've  expanded  our  minds  and  en- 
riched our  spirits.  We've  grown.  We  are  prepared.  We've 
made  bonds  and  built  relationships.  We're  friends  who  beca- 
me a  family.  We've  gained  respect  and  trust  with  faculty  and 
staff.  We're  products  of  the  University.  Not  only  have  we  left 
our  footsteps  in  the  halls  of  UMass  Dartmouth,  but  we  have 
cemented  our  legacy.  We  did  it! 

We  ARE  the  class  of  2008.

Andrea,  You  Did  It!!! 

Your  accomplishment  is  a  milestone  in  your  life  and 
also  in  ours!  On  this  foundation,  your  future  dreams 
will  be  built!  You  have  always  been  a  blessing  in  our 
family.  From  the  photographs  of  your  first  steps...  to 
today's  remarkable  achievement,  you  never  measured 
wealth  in  riches,  but  in  walking  this  earth  with  love 
and  humanity  in  your  beautiful  heart!  As  you  grew, 
we  encouraged  you  to  take  wing  and  never  surrender 
your  dreams,  however,  you  reached  beyond  yourself 
and  climbed  even  higher! 

The  course  you  chose  was  demanding  and  diffcult, 
and  you  have  arrived  at  this  turning  point  through 
hard  work,  persistence,  drive  and  diligence!  To  com- 
plete this  took  a  lot  of  courage  and  sacrifice,  but  you 
continued  to  forge  ahead  to  this  new  horizon,  and 
you  stayed  true  to  your  own  self. 
As  God's  gift  to  us  and  to  the  world,  we  celebrate 
your  summit  moment  with  our  highest  joy,  blessings 
and  endless  love! 

We  Love  You 

Ray,  Aleksis,  Alaina,  Julia,  Athena  &  Manny,  Alex& 

Amanda,  YiaYia  and  your  Mom  &  Dad!

Roe,  Congratulations  on  all  you  have  achieved!  You've 
grown  from  a  cute  little  girl  to  a  beautiful  young  woman. 
Keep  alive  that  inquiring  mind,  your  passion  for  nature, 
health,  spirituality  and  justice.  We  love  you  and  are  so 
proud  of  you! 
Your  Loving  Family 


Congratulations  Alexandra.  You  have  done  an  in- 
credible job  over  the  past  four  years  and  I  know  you 
will  continue  to  do  so  in  the  future.  I  am  very  proud 
of  you  and  all  that  you  have  accomplished. 
Love  always, 
Matt 


Neither  to  change,  nor  falter,  nor  repent;  This,  like 

thy  glory,  Titan,  is  to  be  Good,  great  and  joyous, 

beautiful  and  free;  This  is  alone  Life,  Joy,  Empire, 

and  Victory.

Alexandra  Meriel  Cragin 


We  are  very  proud  of  all  that  you  have  accomplished 
these  past  few  years.  Keep  your  sights  on  the  stars 
and  your  dreams  alive  and  life  will  be  a  wonderful 
journey!  You  have  been  blessed  with  a  great  potential 
for  learning.  You  have  used  this  ability  to  earn  a 
special  degree  but  what  you  do  with  it  will  determine 
the  quality  of  not  only  your  life  but  of  others.  As  a 
famous  Italian  author,  Leo  Buscaglia,  once  wrote: 
The  essence  of  education  is  not  to  stuff  you  with  facts  but 
to  help  you  discover  your  uniqueness,  to  teach  you  how 
to  develop  it,  and  then  to  show  you  how  to  give  it  away. 
Use  your  talents  to  make  this  world  a  better  place. 
Congratulations! 

Love, 

Mom,  Dad,  Suzanne,  Michael,  Courtney  &  Alex

Since  childhood,  Kristina  has  always  shown  determination,  courage  and 
strength  in  anything  she  sets  her  mind  to.  Always  a  dedicated  student  and  an 
inspiration  and  role  model  to  her  siblings.  The  road  ahead  is  full  of  promises 
and  challenges;  never  lose  the  spirit  that  has  guided  you  through  the  rough 
patches.  We  are  honored  and  proud  to  have  a  wonderful,  beautiful,  and  car- 
ing daughter.  We  love  you!  Your  family 


Yes,  it  seems  that  you,  Kristina  Rae  Barrett,  were 
destined  to  be  a  Corsair,  and  that  you've  charted  a 
course  for  success.  You've  made  everyone  so  proud 
over  these  four  years  with  amazing  academic  achieve- 
ments, working  hard  to  help  pay  your  way,  and 
demonstrating  such  maturity  that  there's  no  doubt 
that  the  world  is  yours  for  the  taking.  This  was  your 
grandfather's  favorite  quote,  and  it  seems  just  right 
for  a  spirited  young  woman  about  to  embark  on  life's 
adventure: 

One  ship  goes  east,  the  other  goes  west, 
By  the  very  same  wind  that  blows. 
It  is  the  set  of  the  sails  and  not  the  gales, 
Which  determines  the  way  she  shall  go. 

It  is  up  to  you  to  set  your  sails. 


Kristina  Elizabeth  Barrett

Congratulations  Erica,  on  an  outstanding  four  years! 
Although  at  the  time  it  probably  seemed  as  though  it 
would  never  end,  you'll  realize  soon  how  short  a  time  it 
really  was.  The  friends  you've  made  along  the  way  you'll 
most  likely  have  for  quite  some  time.  You'll  get  together 
with  them  and  wonder  where  the  time  went.  You'll  remi- 
nisce about  good  times,  hard  times  and  hopefully  forget 
any  rough  times.  But  now  the  fun  really  begins.  So  many 
opportunities  and  possibilities  lie  before  you.  Remember, 
there's  nothing  you  can't  do  that  you  put  your  mind 
to.  We're  so 
proud  of  you 
and  wish  you 
all  the  best  in 
whatever  future 
you  choose.  We 
love  you!

Congratulations  Jamie, 

We  want  you  to  use  your  heart  as  a  compass  as  you 
grow  and  find  your  way  in  the  world,  but  we  want 
you  to  always  have  an  appreciation  for  the  direction  of 
home.  We  want  you  to  be  self-reliant,  self- motivated, 
and  self  sufficient,  but  to  know  that  you  will  never  be 
alone.  We  pray  that  you  won't  rush  the  future  and  that 
you'll  slowly  build  on  the  stepping  stones  of  the  past. 
So  many  treasures  await  you  in  your  journey  of  life... 

If  you  want  the  rainbow  you  have  to  put  up  with  the  rain

Dear  Kerry, 

Congratulations  on  your  college  graduation!  We  are  so 
proud  of  you.  We  know  how  hard  you  have  worked 
for  this.  School  has  always  been  your  number  one  prior- 
ity and  it  has  paid  off  in  a  big  way — you  have  sacrificed 
so  much.  We  know  that  you  will  become  a  wonderful, 
caring,  and  compassionate  nurse.  You  have  had  a  lot  of 
experience  and  you  can  now  put  all  that  you  have  learned 
to  good  use.  We  know  that  you  will  be  the  best  that 
you  can  be  because  whatever  you  did — Softball,  cheering, 
track,  etal — you  always  gave  no%.  Once  again,  know 
how  very  proud  we  are  and  always  have  been  of  you. 
You  have  never  let  us  down.  We  love  you  and  know  you 
will  do  your  very  best  in  becoming  a  nurse  and  whatever 
else  you  do  in  life.  Congratulations  Kerry! 
Love,
