Full text of "The Terrapin"

When it comes down to it, a yearbook exists mostly
for the students. But for students to really feel a
connection to their yearbook, it must be as personal as
possible. That's why this 2011 yearbook is according to
you. This yearbook is for you: the students (and espe-
cially the seniors) at the University of Maryland. And
this year, we wanted to do our best to portray the school
through your eyes. We filled the book with quotes from
seniors (like you) about their experiences here. What
do you think it means to be a Terp? What will you al-
ways remember about being here? What was your fa-
vorite part of attending the University of Maryland?
Our goal was to get answers to questions like these
from seniors, possibly even you, because we believe the
more connected you are to your yearbook, the more it
will evoke fond memories years from now when college
has faded into the past. Capturing a university as large
as this one is difficult to do in just 320 pages, but we
hope that we portrayed the school as you would like to
remember it. Most of all, we hope that when you look at
this yearbook, your time here will come rushing back.
Finally, congratulations Class of 2011— you made it!

The A. James Clark School of Engineer-
ing was founded in 1894 as the College of
Engineering, and has since expanded to
have an undergraduate enrollment of about
3,000 students, with facilities that cover
more than 750,000 square feet of space in
14 buildings.

The School ranks highly among na-
tional engineering schools. According to
the 2010 U.S. News and World Report, the
School's undergraduate programs rank
23rd, and the School is tied for the 9th best
public engineering school in the country.

The School offers a variety of majors:
aerospace engineering, bioengineering,
chemical and biomolecular engineering, civil
and environmental engineering, electrical
and computer engineering, fire protection
engineering, materials science and engineering and mechanical engineering.

Standout engineering students are also invited to take part in presti-
gious campus groups such as Gemstone, Hinman CEOs or College Park Schol-
ars. Research, internship and co-op opportunities are also available. A three-
year program called QUEST, the Quality Enhancement Systems and Teams
program, is another program offered. Students are selected through this
program to take part in team-based classes through collaboration with the
Robert H. Smith School of Business.

The most recent addition to the School is the Jeong H. Kim Engineering
Building, completed in 2005. The building offers engineering labs, rooms to
conduct research, lecture halls and classrooms
for the budding minds of future engineers.

"My four years in the Clark School have been
very rewarding," said Laura Hereford, a senior
mechanical engineering major. "Between the de-
partmental programs, extracurricular activities
and faculty leadership, the Clark School offers its
students great opportunities to prepare for life
after their undergrad years."

Notable graduates include Robert Briskman
('61), co-founder of Sirius Radio, and Gordon Eng-
land ('61), the Deputy Secretary of the U.S. De-
partment of Defense.

The University of Maryland's College
of Agriculture and Natural Resources lauds
the ability of its students, and it's easy to
see why. Students from across a variety of
departments (Agricultural and Resource
Economics, Agricultural Science and Tech-
nology, Animal and Avian Sciences, Applied
Agriculture, Dietetics, Environmental Sci-
ence and Policy, Environmental Science and
Technology, Food Science, Landscape Archi-
tecture, Nutritional Science and Plant Sci-
ences) leave the school with a strong sense
of the world in which we live.

The College is headed by Dr. Cheng-i
Wei, a seasoned researcher and professor
who took on the position in 2005. During
his time in office, more than $11 million has
been raised for the School.

Students at the "ag school" can participate in any of the many clubs of-
fered through the school, like the Food and Nutrition Club (the "FAN club")
or Block and Bridle, where members gain hands-on experience with livestock
like cows, sheep and pigs. Each club is paired with its own faculty adviser.
An undergraduate honors program is also offered. Juniors who have
at least a 3.2 cumulative grade point average with a minimum GPA of 3.2 in
major-related classes are invited to apply. Honors students are eligible for
honors classes through the University Honors System, and at graduation the
students receive an honors certificate along with their degree.

The College takes an active role in preparing students for education af-
ter college, offering pre-law, pre-veterinary medicine and pre-medical or den-
tal school tracks. Advisers are available in the College to help pre-profession-
al students select relevant classes, prepare applications and get ready for
admissions interviews.

The College also actively works with students looking for internships.
It provides listings of possible internships for students, who can then work
with advisers in the selection and application process.

Friendly, knowledgeable upperclassmen are selected from the College
to be peer mentors (PMs), who advise fellow students in a laid-back, casual
atmosphere. The PMs work with the Office of Academic Programs to gain the
knowledge they need to effectively advise freshmen and sophomores who
need academic guidance. All incoming freshmen must meet with a PM before
scheduling a meeting with their faculty adviser.

2S?^#»e5i The University of Maryland's School of Ar-

chitecture was founded in 1967 and was origi-
nally housed in a building used in World War 11.
The founding dean, John W Hill, actively worked
toward academic prestige for the school. Today,
the school is ranked nationally in the country for
its architecture program and competent, highly
skilled graduates. David Cronrath, AIA, is the
current dean of the School.

Four programs exist within the school: the
architecture program, the school's undergradu-
ate 8e graduate program and three graduate pro-
grams in urban studies and planning, historic
preservation and real estate development.
What mak:es the School so successful is its close proximity to three ma-
jor cities: Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Annapolis. The architecture in
these areas is incredibly diverse, lending many varying examples of archi-
tecture to students.

Becoming an architect is no easy task— a student needs a professional
degree to practice architecture. Students at Maryland can receive their four-
year Bachelor of Arts degree from the university, and then attend a two-year
master's program at the School. This is opposed to a five-year program from
other universities.

Undergraduates in the School take CORE classes their first two years,
and then move on to higher-level architecture programs as upperclassmen.
The CORE classes are lectures on topics like calculus and physics, but also
special courses like Architectural Drawing and Introduction to the Built En-
vironment.

Two research programs, staffed by faculty and students alike, are rim.
outside of the School at the Colvin Institute of Real Estate Development
(which examines sustainability through architecture) and the National Cen-
ter for Smart Growth Research and Education (which studies aspects of land
use in the U.S., Europe and Asia).

Students in the school are offered advising with professionals, who
guide students through their years at the School of Architecture. The School
boasts advisers who are knowledgeable, accessible and friendly.

Numerous student organizations are affiliated with the school: the
American Institute of Architecture Students, the Architecture Student As-
sembly Board, Emerging Green Builders, the Historic Preservation Organiza-
tion, the National Organization of Minority Students in Architecture, the Stu-
dent Planning i^vssociation and the Society of Real Estate Development.

to women's studies. A number of certificates
are available as well.

According to the website, the College's
mission is "to create global citizens equipped
to assess received opinion, make independent
judgments, and value the transforming power
of the imagination," and it's easy to see how
the College lives up to this promise. The Col-
lege integrates technology and specialized teaching to give students the tools
to graduate as educated, thoughtful citizens.

Living-learning communities such as Honors Humanities, Digital Cul-
tures and Creativity, College Park Scholars in the Arts, Language House and
the Jimenez-Porter Writers' House are also based out of the College of Arts
and Humanities.

The College prides itself on the attention it gives its students, who are
paired with both a departmental adviser (who guides students within their
major) and a college adviser (who deals with academic issues outside the
major). Students must meet with both of these advisers at least three times
in their college career, ensuring personal, close ties for the students in the
college.

"The advisers are incredibly accommodating
and the professors clearly love teaching which
makes the courses all the more interesting," said
senior English major Maddie Lareau.

Students with a grade point average of 3.0
and higher are invited to apply to Departmental
Honors Programs, lending a special distinction to
stand-out students. Especially gifted seniors are
nominated for the Dean's Senior Scholars Award,
bestowed at the Dean's Scholars Banquet.

Every year, the College also sponsors an
Access 2 Alumni event, an opportunity to meet
alumni ana potential employers.

Located in Tydings Hall is the College
of Behavioral and Social Sciences (BSOS),
home to more than 5,000 undergraduates
majoring in African American studies, an-
thropology, criminology and criminal jus-
tice, economics, geography, government
and politics, hearing and speech sciences, a
joint program in survey methodology, psy-
chology or sociology. BSOS is the largest col-
lege on the campus.

The College was established in 1919,
as the School of Liberal Arts. Initially con-
sisting of only three departments (history,
political science and economics), the School
expanded throughout the years to officially
become BSOS in 197S. Today, the college is
headed by John Townshend, who became
dean in 2009 after serving as the chair of the College's Department of Geog-
raphy from 1989-1995 and 2000-2009.

BSOS offers a number of programs to undergraduates including aca-
demic honors societies or CIVICUS, a two-year living-learning program for
students interested in community service. The College also grants university
honors, college honors and departmental honors to gifted undergraduates.
Similarly, Mock Trial is a popular club on campus hosted within the school.
BSOS hosts events open to both students and the general public, such
as the October conference entitled "The Tea Party and the 2010 Elections."
BSOS also celebrates Constitution Day, commemorating the ratification of
the U.S. Constitution. Tom Perez, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil
Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, was also on hand to speak
about "Civil Rights in 2010 and Beyond."

The College houses a number of notable faculty members. Thomas
Schelling in the economics department won the Nobel Prize for economics.
Both Maureen Cropper in the economics department and Ruth DeFries in
the geography department are members of the National Academy of Sciences
(DeFries is also a MacArthur Fellow).

BSOS is prestigious on the campus. To apply, university students must
possess a minimum 3.3 GPA and undergo an application process to pick up a
BSOS major.

"I like the fact that almost all the majors here are competitive to get
into," Annalisa Allen, a senior government and politics major. "It shows that
[the University of] Maryland is a great school."

addition to six research institutes. CMNS includes
the following majors: astronomy, atmospheric and
oceanic science, biology, cell biology and molecular
genetics, chemistry and biochemistry, computer
science, entomology, geology, mathematics and '
physics.

The College of Chemical and Life Sciences
has four majors: biochemistry, biological sci-
ences (with concentrations in cell biology and
molecular genetics, evolution and ecology,
general biology, microbiology and physiology
and neurobiology), chemistry and environ-
mental sciences. A minor in neurobiology is
aJso available. The College has more than 200
faculty members and about 3,000 undergrads,
all equipped with the tools needed to delve
deeper into the way the world works. The Col-
lege is housed in eight buildings on campus.
Research is an integral part of any sci-
ence education. The College has researchers in
comparative and functional genomics, ecologi-
cal sustainability, host-pathogen interactions,
nanoscience and biomaterials and sensory neuroscience.

Four of the departments— biology, cell biology and molecular genetics,
chemistry/biochemistry and entomology— offer departmental honors. Stu-
dents usually apply to the programs after completing a year of research with
a faculty member and join the fall of their junior year. Honors students at-
tend seminars with other students in their program. At the end of the pro-
gram, an honors student writes a thesis, which he or she then orally pres-
ents to faculty members for evaluation.

CLFS students often apply to graduate school or professional school
after graduation. With graduate degrees, CLFS students most often go into
research, work for the government, or teach. Professional schools, such as
medical school or dental school, prepare students for a chosen field. The Col-
lege's Health Professions Advising Office advises students, preparing them
for professional school. Before a student applies for graduate school, he or
she chooses a faculty member mentor in the school. Students can then re-
search with their chosen mentors before going to graduate school.

Since July 1, 2010, the dean of the College has been Stephen Halperin,
Ph.D., a Cornell graduate. He was formerly the dean of the College of Comput-
er, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, a post he took in 1999.

The College hosts seminars every year, open to students, faculty and the
general public. In 2010, the College hosted seminars on topics like Targeting
Disease Tissues with (low) pH Insertion Peptide, Bimetallic Nanoparticles as
CO-Tolerant Electrocatalysts of PEM Fuel Cells and Evolution of Eye Reduc-
tion in Parasites. These seminars are given by professionals, national re-
searchers or university faculty and researchers.

common? Each man is an alumnus
of the College of Computer, Math-
ematical and Physical Sciences at
the University of Maryland. The
College consists of about 2,000 un-
dergraduates studying astronomy,
computer science, geology, math-
ematics, physics, physical sciences,
atmospheric and oceanic science or computer engineering.

The school is highly competitive. According to U.S. News and World
Report, the College's geochemistry program ranks seventh and its physics
program ranks fourth. Its computer science program also ranks 14th and its
mathematics program ranks SOth in the country.

The College actively works to address the lack of women in physical sci-
ence. By offering an inclusive, judgment-free place for education, the College
hopes women will feel comfortable working in the sciences. An all-women
campus club, the Association of Women in Computing, offers tutoring and
mentoring to women to encourage them to pursue a computer science de-
gree. The club also offers free seminars and events. Another club. Women in
Math, is a chapter of the National Association for Women in Mathematics.
The group works to advance women in the math field, and is open to under-
graduates, graduate students and faculty. WTM offers mentoring and tutor-
ing to women in the College.

Numerous members of the school's faculty are award winners. In 2010,
Roberta Rudnick received a Distinguished University Professor award for
her work regarding the continental lithosphere. Dave Thirumalai received
the same award for working in biophysics, chemistry and biology. Rita Col-
well received the post of an Honorary Member of the Royal Irish Academy
and James Drake received the 2010 James Clerk Maxwell Prize for Plasma
Physics by the American Physical Society.

CMPS is active in philanthropy. The College actively encourages its stu-
dents to develop philanthropic areas of study and assigns a mentor to help
develop a program. Through initiatives such as "A Call to Arms," students
try to m.ake a difference in the world through science.

Campus programs like QUEST, University Honors and College Park
Scholars are affiliated with the College.

University of Maryland's College of Educa-
tion is home to seven departments: Counseling
and Personnel Services, Curriculum and In-
struction, Education Policy Studies, Education
Leadership, Higher Education and Internation-
al Education, Human Development, Measure-
ment, Statistics and Evaluation and Special
Education. The College has roughly 1,000 un-
dergraduates and is ranked the 25th best edu-
cation program by the U.S. News and World
Report.

In addition to CORE requirements, educa-
tion majors take education pre-professional
requirements related to their sector, as deter-
mined by the College, and apply to the profes-
sional program of their major. Students take
Praxis I, a test designed to gauge a student's skills as a potential teacher. The
program culminates with a professional program or a year-long teaching
internship, where students teach in a classroom that is off campus. Students
are placed in schools that are partnered with the university.

The College also offers a teaching certificate program. A student can
receive a certificate and degree in early childhood, elementary education,
secondary education, special education, music education, or physical educa-
tion. A five-year combined bachelor's/master's in secondary education is also
available.

The human development department of the College sponsors The Center
for Young Children, a preschool located on North Campus. Students can work
at the center, gaining valuable experience working with kids.

The College is housed in the Benjamin Building, named after former
dean Harold R.W. Benjamin. Benjamin was dean of the school from 1938-
1943 and 1947-1952. The current dean is Donna L. Wiseman, Ph.D., who has
been at the university since the start of 2000. Wiseman became dean in May
2008.

Many clubs and organizations are hosted through the College. For exam-
ple, Terp Pals pairs new students (associates) with current students (advo-
cates) to help the new students adjust to campus life. Advocates show their
associates around campus and the College, acting as mentors and explaining
the different aspects of the university. The College also plans large group ses-
sions for Terp Pals.

Finally, the College takes an active role in preparing students for their
professional life.

Graduate Progra

« 1.

University of Maryland's College of Informa-
tion Studies (the iSchool) offers three graduate
degrees: a Master of Library Science, a Master of
Information Management and a Doctor of Philoso-
phy. A dual-degree master's program in History
and Library Science is also offered. About 375
graduate students are enrolled in the College.

The College is part of a national iSchools con-
sortium, which seeks to educate students about
various aspects of technology. More than 20 na-
tional universities are enrolled in this program.
iSchools offer an innovative, collective edu-
cation. The schools are governed by an iCaucus,
made up of deans from the participating univer-
sities. The consortium was founded in 2005 by
educators seeking to give students a new, innovative education parallel with
today's information age. Every year, the iSchools gather for an iConference,
a melting pot of like-minded students and professionals in iSchools to share
news, ideas and innovations in the field.

The College is relatively small, allowing students to have close interac-
tion with professors— a 1:12 student faculty ratio exists within the College.
Adding to the College's close-knit feel is the ISCHOOLDISCUSSION, a college-
wide discussion group. Through an e-mail listerv, students and faculty in-
teract online, and discuss everjrthing from current events to innovations in
information science. This informal online interaction promotes unity and the
transfer of ideas.

Students can also take part in various on-campus clubs offered in asso-
ciation with the College.

The College actively works to guide students toward their chosen career
path. Faculty members have developed various career course plans (aca-
demic librarian, business information specialist, cataloger, health sciences
librarian, indexer/abstractor, information architect, law librarian, ontolo-
gist/taxonomist, public librarian, special librarian and youth services public
librarian) that clearly outline courses and activities a student should partici-
pate in for each career listed. Students are also paired with their own advis-
er. These advisers guide students through their chosen major.

Students in the College are also actively engaged in research. Current
projects include the International Children's Digital Library, which looks at
how children can use digital books, and Global Autonomous Language Ex-
ploration, which researches how to tak:e large amounts of information and
translate it into different languages.

The Philip Merrill College of Journal-
ism is widely regarded as one of the top
journalism schools in the country, and it's
easy to see why. The faculty, which includes
Pulitzer Prize winners, actively strives to
prepare students to become the next big
gumshoe. Three main concentrations exist
in the school's "multiplatform journalism."
Students can focus on broadcast, news/edi-
torial, or online journalism.

The College is housed in the newly built
Knight Hall. Included in the $30 million dol-
lar renovation were high-tech classrooms
and multimedia labs aimed at training stu-
dents for professional work. Students have
access to professional programs like InDe-
sign and Dreamweaver, which professors
often include in their curriculums.

The College also offers Capital News Service, a semester-long, intensive
crash course on reporting, where students are placed in an Annapolis or
Washington, D.C., bureau to cover local and national news. Stories by stu-
dents are sent out on the wire, available to national papers to pick up.

Students looking to report outside of the area can take Urban Affairs
Reporting, taught by former Baltimore Sun deputy managing editor Sandy
Banisky Students in the class report in Baltimore, covering a broad, chosen
beat every semester. Students actually travel into the city to find stories and
interview people, using the College as a home base and Banisky as an editor.

Broadcast students can work with UMTV, a local news program based
out of the College and written and produced by journalism students.

"I really feel a strong connection to the school," said Deanna LeBlanc, a
senior broadcast journalism major. "I've had some amazing professors who
really want to see me succeed. I feel equipped with the skills I need to become
a journalist."

The dean of the college, Kevin Klose, arrived at the school last year with
a solid journalism background. Before serving as dean, Klose was president
of National Public Radio and a former editor and foreign news reporter at
The Washington Post.

Graduates of the College leave with a strong sense of the news and well-
defined reporting skills. Recent graduates have gone on to jobs at prestigious
news outlets like USA Today and Newsweek. Notable alumni include Connie
Chung and ESPN's Scott Van Pelt.

Located in the sprawling, multimillion-
dollar Van Munching Hall is the Robert
H. Smith School of Business, a nationally
ranked business college with about 5,000
undergraduates. U.S. News and World Re-
port ranked the undergraduate business
program 19th in the nation. The School of-
fers undergraduate majors in accounting,
^ finance, general business, information sys-
tems, international business, supply chain
management, marketing and operations
management.
\ V '^"'^'^'^'^^tU "^^^ School began in 1921 as the De-

" '** ^^ ' ^^^ tration. Van Munching Hall was built in the

1990s, and was named the Robert H. Smith
School of Business shortly after a multi-mil-
lion dollar donation by Smith.

The school is made up of collections of fellows, small groups within the
school that hone in on a specific aspect of business. The fellow groups become
a family within the college. Field trips, seminars and other extracurricular
activities are planned for each group. First-year incoming students can be
placed in Freshman Fellows (or Accelerated Freshman Fellows), and in their
junior year, are invited to participate in one of the extremely varied pro-
grams, ranging from design and innovation marketing fellowships to supply
chain fellowships to music management fellowships. Each fellowship is differ-
ent and extremely competitive.

Based out of the School is the Dingman Center for Entrepreneurship,
which was created in the mid-1980s. On Fridays (except the last Friday of
the month), students give a new business pitch to a panel of Dingman staff.
The Dingman staff evaluates it in four steps. On the last Friday of the month,
students can participate in Pitch Dingman. Students develop a business plan,
which is then analyzed in a contest-style evaluation process. The winner re-
ceives $2,500.

There is also Dingman Jumpstart, where students enroll in an intensive
two-week entrepreneurship program to brainstorm business ideas, and the
Capital Access Network, where fledgling student businesses can pair with
Angel Investors (wealthy benefactors who support businesses).

"My favorite part is the opportunities to gain leadership experience
while learning about personal and career interests," said Alison DePaolis, a
senior finance and international business major.

health and wellbeing of the population, and
offers unusual classes on specialized sub-
jects, like Social Marketing in Public Health
|K^ """^^^^^g^ii^ '" T,^ and Epidemiology in the Media: Truth or

^■^_ '^^l^^^^lB^^.,^ Fiction.

Every year, the School hosts the School
of Public Health's Research Interaction Day, where undergraduates, gradu-
ate students and faculty present the findings of their research. The event is
open to the entire student population. The event is a way to show off the in-
credible research being done by the School, and to act as networking tool for
students.

The School also offers a variety of programs for the campus community,
including Gymkana, a substance-free, high-flying gymnastics act. Health Lit-
eracy, a program promoting health education, the Osher Lifelong Learning
Institute, a health program for adults 50 and older, and a health partnership
with the city of Seat Pleasant.

The School offers two honors programs in family science and kinesiol-
ogy. Admission into these programs is prestigious. The honors programs cul-
minate with an honors thesis at the end of a student's undergraduate educa-
tion.

Phi Alpha Epsilon is an honor society open to undergraduate communi-
ty health, family science, kinesiology and physical education majors. The so-
ciety is more than 50 years old, and its letters stand for philosophy, growth
and achievement. Participants must have a 3.5 GPA or higher, and must be
invited by a faculty member.

Affiliated with the School is the Maryland Institute for Applied Envi-
ronmental Health (MIAEH), which consists of faculty members and stu-
dents who perform public, environmental health outreach for the university.
The group's main purpose is to make our environment safer, and with the
School's close proximity to Washington, D.C., the opportunities for students
in the program are vast.

The University of Maryland's School of
Public Policy is mainly a graduate school, of-
fering a master's in public policy, a master's
in public management-policy track, an ex-
ecutive master's in public management and
a master's in engineering and public policy

Undergraduates can also enroll in a
joint bachelor's/master's program through
the School. A student first works toward a

bachelor's degree in a major through the

» ^ College of Behavioral and Social Sciences

-^ through his or her junior year, and is then
jml allowed to take graduate classes through
___li^iiij^iifl the School of Public Policy— 18 credits of

these public policy classes count toward
both the bachelor's and master's degrees.
After completing undergraduate work,
a student then takes 30 credits of graduate classes at the School. This pro-
gram is highly prestigious. Admitted students must maintain a 3.5 GPA as an
undergraduate, and must have received a SAT score of 1275 or higher. Most
students in this joint program graduate with both a bachelor's and a mas-
ter's degree in as little as five years.

The Rawlings Undergraduate Leadership Fellows Program is offered
through the school. To be admitted into the program, students must be nomi-
nated by the university's faculty and staff, and go through a rigorous ap-
plication process. Only 25 sophomores, juniors and seniors are accepted.
Once in the program, students learn how to become leaders. The goal of the
program is to help students develop the skills needed to become champions
of those who go unnoticed in society. Students choose a specific policy issue
to focus on in the program, and are mentored by elected officials and other
community leaders. Students are taken to state and federal agencies as edu-
cational trips, and are placed in an internship. The program is named after
former Maryland Delegate Howard Peters "Pete" Rawlings.

Students in the School have an incredible geographic advantage— Uni-
versity of Maryland's campus is mere miles away from Washington, D.C., the
epicenter of politics in the United States. Public policy students often intern
or work in Washington and a Metro station located just outside of campus
delivers a direct route into the politically-minded city. The university lends
a major advantage, also. The University of Maryland is a top-tier research
university, lending extensive resources and research opportunities to public
policy students.

The University of Maryland's Office of Undergraduate Studies offers a pletho-
ra of central programming for the campus community. Almost every aspect of an
undergraduate's career starts in this office, like CORE programming, orientation
and the course catalog. The office's main purpose is to enhance the undergraduate
experience.

Living-learning programs such as Beyond the Classroom, College Park Schol-
ars, Global Communities and the Honors College stem from this office. All of these
programs offer additional educational and personal development opportunities
for university students, including service learning opportunities and internship
experiences. Specialized undergraduate studies (Air Force ROTC, Army ROTC,
Asian American Studies, Individual Studies, Federal Semester and Lesbian, Gay, J
Bisexual and Transgender Studies) also come from this office.

Professors who wish to create an "I"-Series course, a new type of CORE class
implemented in Spring 2010 to explore Issues, Imagination, Intellect, Inspiration
and Innovation, propose their ideas through this office.

For undergraduates who look at CORE-required labs with anxiety and dread,
the office created Marquee Courses, science classes made especially for non-sci-
ence majors. Classes offered range from Weather and Climate to Pollinators in
Crisis to Engineering in Modern Medicine: The Body as a Machine.

Low-income high-school students can register in the TRIO program, a feder-
ally-sponsored program offered through the office. The program offers academic
services, advising and mentoring to qualifying students. Another exceptional
program offered is ACE, Achieving CoUege Excellence. Math students can enroll i
in this program and receive a mentor to guide them from high school to coUege
Students in ACE gain valuable connections to faculty and staff members. A months
ly seminaj? is scheduled to learn about math opportunities, and students are re-
quired to take a one-credit class on Math Confidence Building.

The Office of Undergraduate Studies also offers the University of Maryland
Ombuds Services. An Ombuds officer. Ombudsman, or simply "Ombuds," is a per-
son who can be consulted by members of the university community who want
to get information about university policies relating to their activities or who
encounter problems that they cannot resolve through ordinary channels. He re-
solves any issues undergraduates have with the university. The ombudsman is
knowledgeable about all aspects of the university (like policies and rules), and
strives to resolve conflicts. When a student has a major complaint, he is able to
refer them to the right faculty or staff member on the campus.

For students who wish to continue their education, the Graduate School at
the University of Maryland offers a variety of programs spanning an array of aca-
demic fields such as journalism, food science and government and politics. With
an enrollment of nearly 11,000 students in over 200 degree programs, the Gradu-
ate School grants 600 doctoral degrees and 2,200 masters degrees each year.

Graduate school differs from undergraduate life in the amount of course-
work given and the style of classroom experience. Graduate students pursue an
intense, research-based education, culminating with a final master's thesis or
doctoral dissertation. While some students attend graduate school directly follow-
ing their undergraduate years, others spend a few years working in their field and
then return to their studies. Students remain at the university's Graduate School
for anywhere from one to six years.

The School has strict admission standards. Applicants must have a 3.0 GPA
or higher from their undergraduate education, and must have attended a four-
year, accredited school. Students can apply to be either a degree-seeking graduate
student or an advanced special student (non-degree), who takes graduate classes
but does not work toward gaining a graduate degree. Advanced special students
can apply later for admission to the graduate degree program. This program is of-
fered to both national and international students.

The Graduate School offers free tuition (with mandatory fees) for retired
Maj?yland resident graduate students 60 years and older through its Golden Iden-
tification Card Program. The Golden ID students take graduate-level classes and
have full access to campus facilities, like the library and gym. The senior citizen
students register for classes during the first week that school is in session, and
can take up to three classes per semester.

The university's graduate students can work as teaching assistants for un-
dergraduate classes, assisting professors in classes or lectures related to their
line of study. Graduate TAs are compensated and receive an office, where they
hold office hours for inquiring undergraduate students.

With its variety of programs and opportunities, the university's Graduate
School offers more than enough options to help graduate students reach their
educational and professional goals.

For many, the North Campus Din-
er was their first taste of Late Night on
campus. Wings, mozzarella sticks and
grill items like cheesesteaks and que-
sadillas were among the many mid-
night snacks offered. The Diner opened
up a hot suh shop, and this year they
opened a Korean barbeque station.

Most resident floors would find a
way to travel to the Diner together dur-
ing the first week of classes to bond.
The large, round tables were not just a
place to eat, but a place to meet with
friends.

And who can forget the themed
dinners for holidays like Halloween,
Thanksgiving and Christmas? Lobster
night was always a huge favorite and
there has always been a high turnout
for crab feast.

No matter what day of the week-
through snowstorms and power out-
ages—the Diner has always been avail-
able to students, with familiar faces
making their favorite sandwiches and
ringing up their orders. Students, like
senior communication major Jaison
Cooper, have fond memories of the Din-
er, its awesome throwback music and
its staff. Cooper, who is now a resident
assistant, still enjoys stopping by the
Diner.

"It's kind of sad how people com-
plain about the diner and the service
there, but I've never really had a bad
experience there," Cooper said. "I like

the food since I don't ever eat the
same thing two meals in a row, and
I was never afraid to try something
new. As for the service, you get what
you give. I've developed a friendship
with one of the cashiers and it feels
good to not just be 'another student'
to her."

"I thought it was really funny,
how once I went to the sandwich line
and started a conversation with the
lady. She was all laughs and smiles
and when she finished my sandwich
and asked for the next person in line,
she was a completely different per-
son. She was relatively mean to the
next guy," Cooper added.

So, whether you were always in
the red with your meal points or were
always the person to buy your friend
food because you had too many meal
points, the Diner is a landmark loca-
tion on campus.

Nestled between South Campus
Commons, Lefrak Hall and Susque-
hanna Hall sits the South Campus
Dining Hall— home to some of the best
food on campus, including student fa-
vorites Seasons 12, a Mongolian bar-
beque, and Jalapeho Grill, a Tex-Mex
restaurant that serves burritos and
tacos.

Who could forget the first time
they walked into the South Campus
Dining Hall and stood in line next to
a basketball player who was grab-
bing a quesadilla? And when the din-
er would host D J and karaoke nights
from WMUC every month, students
always stuck around a little longer to
watch the entertainment.

Students like senior English ma-
jor Madeline Lareau found the South
Campus Diner to be an enjoyable
place to meet with friends and have
a solid meal.

"I've been to South Campus Din-
er several times with some of my
younger friends who live on campus.
The lines seem to move fairly expe-
diently and I always enjoy the food—
especially the quesadillas and salad
bar, which offers so many options,"
Lareau said.

"I always enjoy eating at the din-
er," she added. "The best memory I
have is going there last winter when it
was snowing. I had some soup and a cup
of coffee and simply sat there talking
with a couple friends to pass the time
between classes. The diner just allows
me to break away from my daily eating
routine and go somewhere different."

Commons Shop, the convenience
store located on the lower level of the
dining hall, is open until 12:30 a.m.
during the week for late-night snacks.
For those living on South Campus, it is
a quick stop for a drink or food when
the dining hall is not open for Late
Night. The wide array of items— more
than that offered by the North Campus
Shop— always comes in handy, espe-
cially when your umbrella breaks dur-
ing hurricane season.

Organizations and student groups
like the Testing Center on campus. The
Diamondback, The Terrapin, WMUC,
the Help Center and MaryPIRG have
their offices in the upper level of the
dining hall.

Whether for swine flu or mono,
most students have found themselves
in the Health Center at some point dur-
ing their time at the university. The
Health Center offers a variety of servic-
es, including clinical services and men-
tal health services. The Health Center
is located at the heart of campus on
Campus Drive, directly across from the
Stamp Student Union and only minutes
away from McKeldin Mall.

The Health Center began offering
their own insurance to students, but
this is just one of many resources for
students. In fact, groups like Sexual
Assault Response and Prevention Pro-
gram, or SARPP, and Sexual Health and
Reproductive Education, or SHARE,
are offered through the Health Cen-
ter for students who are interested in
educating and providing resources for
their peers on sexual health.

Terp CHOICES (Choosing Healthy
Options In the College Environment
Safely), which is also offered through
the Health Center, provides resources
for students about high-risk situations
in college, including alcohol use and
drug use.

For many students who come to
Maryland from other states, it is a gen-
eral source of comfort to know that
there is somewhere on campus they
can stop by to get checked out or tested
for a variety of illnesses.

Senior psychology major Rachel

Simon, an employee of the Help Cen-
ter hotline service on campus, has
found the Health Center to be a huge
benefit to her experiences at the uni-
versity.

"I've used many of their servic-
es," Simon said. "Students find the
free condom basket useful, as well as
the resources each individual depart-
ment is able to give out. And whenev-
er I have had questions, I have been
able to get brochures or pamphlets
on the subject."

"The Help Center, which offers
free and anonymous pregnancy test-
ing, interacts with the Health Center
and their lab in order to get the test
results," she also said. "Generally, we
found that the people there are very
helpful, very knowledgeable and very
quick."

"They give students opportuni-
ties to gain experience by volunteer-
ing there, which is nice. They are help-
ful and it can be easy for students to
get prescriptions filled at such a con-
venient place," she added.

The Cambridge Commu-
nity is home to the College
Park Scholars Program, and
is the only community locat-
ed on North Campus to con-
tain low-rise dorms. Bel Air
Hall, Cambridge Hall and two
air-conditioned dorms, Cent-
reville Hall and Cumberland
Hall, surround the Cambridge
Community Center, which is
also home to the North Cam-
pus Snack 'n' Shop.

The shop, which is com-
monly referred to as the
"InCon" for its inconvenient
operating schedule, is a cen-
tral hub on campus that saves
many students a trip to the
grocery store. The shop has
all kinds of snack food, frozen
dinners, candies and drinks
for students to use their Terp
Bucks and Terrapin Express
on. The shop is open late for
students to grab a midnight
snack or treats for a late-
night study session.

"I liked having so many
people around me. It was like
living in a huge apartment
with all of my friends," said
senior psychology major Si-
mone Saltzman, on living in
Cumberland Hall her fresh-
man year.

The Denton Community
is home to Denton Hall, Eas-
ton Hall and Elkton Hall— no-
toriously dubbed as the essen-
tial party dorms for freshmen
on campus. Denton houses
students in the Honors Living
&? Learning Program, while
Easton houses students in the
Math Success Program. This
community will also soon be
home to Oakland Hall, which
is set to open in fall 2011.

While this community is
situated on the edge of cam-
pus (by the Clarice Smith
Performing Arts Center) and
far away from central cam-
pus, students in the Denton
community are in no way cut
off from fun. Orange, green
and purple UM shuttle buses
all run by this community to
transport students to Stamp
Student Union and Route 1
attractions.

Mike Goldberg, a senior
accounting and finance ma-
jor, enjoyed the excitement
of living in Easton during his
freshman year.

"They replaced the exit
signs because someone al-
ways broke them... There was
something always going on,
whether it be someone throw-
ing a refrigerator out the
window or a party," Goldberg
said.

EUicott Hall, Hagerstown
Hall and La Plata Hall are
all part of the EUicott Com-
munity. Ellicott Hall, which
houses the Gemstone Living
Learning Center, overlooks
Byrd Stadium and the North
Campus Diner. Because La
Plata is one of the few air-con-
ditioned dorms on campus, it
is competitive real estate for
sophomore students looking
to return to North Campus. In
fact, the building faces La Pla-
ta Beach, with Astroturf and
beach volleyball for students
searching for some fun in the
sun. Whether it's volleyball,
soccer, football or Frisbee, the
beach is always abuzz with
students. The Community
also backs up to Eppley Rec-
reation Center, another major
hub located on North Campus.

But, living so close to ev-
erything may have its down-
falls.

"I think I gained a lot
more weight living in LaPlata
than [in] Cumberland be-
cause it was right next to
the Diner," senior journalism
major Kate Raftery said. "My
roommates and I just went
down and got food whenever
we were remotely hungry.
Not such a good diet plan."

The Leonardtown Com-
munity has an old and new
section. New Leonardtown
housed the EcoHouse Pro-
gram, but both sections pro-
vide on-campus apartments
for students interested in re-
siding a further distance from
central campus. The Com-
munity also has its own com-
munity center, complete with
the Leonardtown Shop that is
open Sunday through Friday.

Leonardtown' s appeal
is for students who want to
get away from campus af-
ter their freshman year. The
apartments have their own
kitchens and common rooms.
While many students share
their rooms with one to two
roommates, there are singles
available, too.

While students living in
these apartments have more
freedom than living on North
or South Campus, there are
still resident assistants avail-
able to make sure that stu-
dents are following the Resi-
dent Life regulations.

The North Hill Commu-
nity is home to nine dorms:
Anne Arundel Hall (Honors
Program), Caroline Hall, Car-
roll Hall, Dorchester Hall
(Jimenez-Porter Writer's
House and Global Communi-
ties programs), Queen Anne's
Hall (Honors Living 8c Learn-
ing Center), St. Mary's Hall
(Language House), Somer-
set Hall (CIVICUS Living &?

Hall (Honors Humanities Liv-
ing &? Learning Center) and
Worcester Hall.

Located by McKeldin Li-
brary and the South Campus
Dining Hall, this area of cam-
pus is prime housing. Many
students move here from
North Campus during their
sophomore year. However,
many freshmen are placed
here by Resident Life as well.

The South Hill Commu-
nity is home to 14 dorms:
Allegany Hall, Baltimore
Hall, Calvert Hall, Cecil Hall,
Charles Hall, Frederick Hall,
Garrett Hall, Harford Hall,
Howard Hall, Kent Hall,
Montgomery Hall, Prince
George's Hall, Talbot Hall and
Washington Hall.

Senior jsLzz studies major
Ricky Alexander remembers
living in Garrett Hall during
his sophomore year and re-
ally enjoying it.

"We got a huge common
room and we unscrewed the
screws in the windows so we
could bend it open and stick
our heads out the roof. It was
good," he said. "We had a bar-
beque in there one time. We
opened the window all the
way and put on the fans as
much as we could and we had
a cookout out the window. It
was insane ! "

He added, "We were liv-
ing next to the some of the
girls lacrosse players. We
were leaving the apartment
one night and we heard a
ton of noise in the stairwell.
When we walked into the
stairwell, someone ran up to
us and shoved her hand out
and was like 'I JUST GOT EN-
GAGED ! ' It was crazy— what a
cr8Lzyyear."

South Campus Commons
is the best housing the cam-
pus has to offer. There are
seven buildings with individ-
ual bedrooms and bathrooms,
full kitchens and common ar-
eas. Not to mention, for those
who like to peruse Route 1,
Commons is within walking
distance.

Commons 1 and 2 have
both seen their fair-share of
broken air-conditioning, and
Commons 3 and 4 have had
their fair-share of fire alarms
in the wee hours of the morn-
ing. Yet, students still find liv-
ing in these apartments well
worth the aforementioned
problems.

Senior journalism major
Kate Raftery, a resident of
Commons 7, has enjoyed her
experiences in the on-campus
apartments, like many other
students.

"Commons has been my
favorite because you grow out
of the dorms really quickly
once you're past freshman
year," she said. "I have my
own room, my own bathroom
and my own kitchen, and I
can do essentially whatever I
want."

While it isn't on-campus
housing, a large portion of the
university's students lives at
the Courtyards. They have all
kinds of amenities, like a gym
and a pool, and students are
connected to campus through
the Courtyards Express shut-
tle bus and the purple bus.

Senior psychology major
Brittnie Batter, a resident of
Courtyards, recalled one of
her fondest Courtyard memo-
ries from Snowpocalypse
2010.

"During the snowstorm
last year, all of us at Court-
yards were trying to dig our
cars out of the snow that had
piled up about 5 feet around
them because the plows had
pushed it all into the park-
ing spaces," she said. "It was
hilariously awful because
some of us didn't even have
real shovels, so we were us-
ing things like ice scrapers or
whatever we could find. It felt
like a post-apocalyptic happy
neighborhood or something
totally surreal."

Of the university's seven on-
campus libraries, McKeldin Library,
located at the heart of campus on
McKeldin Mall, is one of the busiest
places on campus. Throughout the
day, students enter the building to
grab a cup of coffee at Footnotes Cafe,
study on one of the building's many
floors and conduct research for vari-
ous papers and projects.

The library is home to the East
Asia Collection, which has more than
90,000 books, periodicals and refer-
ence materials in Chinese, Japanese
and Korean. The library also has a
collection of government publications
through the U.S. Federal Depository
Library Program.

Late Night Study on Sundays
through Thursdays at the library is a
haven for many students looking for a
quiet change of scenery when study-
ing for midterms and finals.

McKeldin's second floor received
a transformation during the fall 2010
semester. The room with previously
blank walls and desks was trans-
formed into a lounge that was made
to reflect a coffee shop. It is now

called the Terrapin Learning Com-
mons. Computers and printers were
also added, along with more outlets
and warmer colors.

Libraries Dean Patricia Steele
said in an interview with The Dia-
mondback that similar changes will
occur throughout the library. Steele
also said she hopes the library will
have more furniture replacements,
more electronics and some television
monitors for students to access free-
ly.

"It's kind of a community center

in a way that has an academic focus,"
Steele said in The Diamondback in-
terview.

Other libraries on campus in-
clude: the Architecture Library, the
Art Library, the Engineering and
Physical Science Library, Hornbake
Library, the Michelle Smith Perform-
ing Arts Library and the White Me-
morial Chemistry Library.

Hornbake, home to the Nonprint
Media Services, houses more than
38,000 materials and Dial Access,
which plays videos on a loop on the
televisions in the library.

Beyond the Classroom
(BTC) "engages talented and
diverse undergraduates from
across the university in a se-
lective interdisciplinary liv-
ing and learning community
focused on civic engagement
and social change in a global
context," according to the pro-
gram's website.

BTC aims to prepare stu-
dents for professional life after
college. Sophomore, junior and
senior students in the program
live in South Campus Com-
mons 1 and are required to
take three seminar courses and
participate in an internship
with locations such as AARP,
the Smithsonian Institution,
the Museum of African Art or A
Wider Circle.

Each semester, BTC par-
ticipates in community service
and civic learning experienc-
es at places like D.C. Central
Kitchen, International Day of
Climate Change, Lost Dog and
Cat Rescue, Patuxent River
Clean Up and the Polar Bear
Plunge. A number of students
in BTC have been able to study

abroad in countries such as
Ghana, India, Israel, South Af-
rica and the United Kingdom.

Additionally, documenta-
ry film events are held for BTC
every Monday evening, typi-
cally followed by discussions.
The documentary topics range
anywhere from empowering
women to international poli-
tics. The program also hosts
a Thursday afternoon series,
which usually includes a guest
speaker and in-depth discus-
sions on topics like the oil cri-
sis and energy conservation.

The program also hosts
what is called Take an Activ-
ist to Lunch, which allows
students to have a meal with
leading non-profit leaders to
get firsthand advice and gain
valuable insight into their
lines of work. After the lunch,
the speakers then address the
BTC program as a whole to
talk about their organization's
mission.

CIVICUS is a two-year
program that provides an
academic citation based heav-
ily on civil society including
citizenship, leadership, com-
munity building in a diverse
society, scholarship and com-
munity service-learning.
There are 130 members in
CIVICUS and not only do
these students take courses
together, but they also live
together in Somerset Hall,
which was renovated in 1999
to accommodate the program.
Each member of CIVICUS
participates in a minimum of
four community service proj-
ects each semester.

The program is through
the College of Behavioral and
Social Sciences (BSOS). There
are 14 credits required for
the program— two one-credit
classes and four three-credit
classes, which include a Cap-
stone requirement. In the
students' second year of CIVI-
CUS, they take a leadership
class that allows them to ap-
ply first-year knowledge.

Following the leader-
ship class, students enter the
Capstone course. Not only
are CIVICUS students able
to learn more about certain
service-based organizations
or non-profit organizations,
but they can actually apply
what they have learned in the
classroom to the field.

program get to move in early
every year for the Scholars
Service Day, where every
freshman entering the pro-
gram spends the day doing
a community service project
with other members in their
program. Most scholars live
in the Cambridge Community
and each floor within those
buildings is split up so that
students live on the same
floor as other students in
their program.

Colloquium classes are
held in the Cambridge Com-
munity Center, which is
located in the heart of the
Cambridge Community. Each
student within the scholars

program is required to have
a Capstone experience af-
ter taking three semesters'
worth of colloquium courses.

"You had people who
were in your classes living
right down the hall, so you
could work on homework to-
gether and study. And, we
were right near where Schol-
ars stuff was," said hearing
and speech sciences major
Lauren Fischer.

Every spring. College
Park Scholars hosts a softball
tournament in which fresh-
men and sophomores from
each program create a team
and compete against other
programs. The winner of the
tournament donates all of the
proceeds to the organization
of their choice.

The Scholars in New
York trip is one of the best
experiences students in the
program have. Students are
able to explore the city, go to
a Broadway show and visit
the Metropolitan Museum of
Art. Each Scholars program
participates in activities spe-
cific to their program. In past
years, groups like Advocates
for Children have been able to
visit Ellis Island, Internation-
al Studies has been able to
visit the United Nations and
Media, Self and Society has
visited NBC Studios.

During the spring 2010
semester, the university com-
munity was surprised to hear
buzz surrounding the Digi-
tal Cultures and Creativity
(DCC) Program in the Honors
College. They had announced
that 75 incoming freshmen
and program participants
would receive a brand new
iPad through the Mobility Ini-
tiative. DCC was launched in
fall 2010 to provide "an inno-
vative curriculum and learn-
ing community" that com-
bines art, imagination and
global leadership with new
technology, according to their
website.

Students in the DCC pro-
gram live in Queen Anne's
Hall and complete 16 credits
during the two-year program.
Students in the program are
also required to take pre-
approved honors seminar
courses. The courses cover
the history of creative digital
expression and developing
new tools and applications.
DCC is a product of the Arts
and Humanities College, and
students in the program
learn about video production,
digital art and online commu-
nities.

The program also hosts
various events throughout
the semester, including a se-
ries of "play dates" in which
the group comes together and

discusses in-depth topics like
digital storytelling and gam-
ing. There are also field trips
through PHEON! The first trip
took place at the Smithsonian
American Art Museum for
the "...Largest Mission-Based
Game Ever Designed through
Its Luce Foundation Center,"
which allowed the students
in the program to see their
studies in a different environ-
ment.

Created in 2010, the En-
trepreneurship and Innova-
tion Program (EIP) is headed
by Jay Smith, a University
of Maryland business school
graduate and founder of a
multi-million dollar company.
This two-year program is
run through the Maryland
Technology Enterprise Insti-
tute, and Smith is a lecturer
through Mtech.

EIP caters to freshmen
of various educational back-
grounds with emphases on
business and engineering.
There are 10 credits required
for this living-learning pro-
gram.

Similar to the Hinman
CEOs Program, EIP helps stu-
dents develop "entrepreneur-
ial mindsets, skill sets, and
relationships to launch suc-
cessful concepts in startup
companies or corporate ven-
tures," according to its web-
site. Students are required
to take various seminars and
practicum that expand their
knowledge of entrepreneur-
ship.

Students in EIP live in
La Plata Hall. Because the
program is offered through
the Honors College, some of
their courses may cross with
other honors students, which
further enhances the multi-
disciplinary learning that EIP
provides.

FLEXUS is the Women
in Engineering (WIE) living-
learning program that began
in 2007 for first-year engi-
neering students interested
in advancing gender diversity
in the field.

The program is through
the A. James Clark School of
Engineering and requires par-
ticipation in a one-credit sem-
inar each semester. Students
in WIE take mathematics,
chemistry and introductory
engineering design courses
together, which is a great op-
portunity to bond with fellow
WIE members.

The WIE community is
located on the fifth and sixth
floors of Ellicott Hall.

The program initiative
was initially supported by a
$100,000 contribution from
Marilyn Berman Pollans,
former associate dean of the
Clark School. Pollans hopes
that the program will "help
retain more female engineer-
ing students."

"Women currently rep-
resent only 17 percent of the
undergraduate engineering
student population at the Uni-
versity of Maryland, which is
the same as the national av-
erage. Our goal is to beat the
national average and to make
Maryland the first choice for
women who want to study
engineering," added Paige

Smith, director of WIE.

WIE offers a series of
workshops on how to obtain
internships and writing re-
sumes. The program also goes
on social trips (e.g. bowling
and pizza parties) to build
friendships with fellow pro-
gram participants. A mentor-
ship is also available through
WIE to provide positive role
models and gain confidence
in a career field that is often-
times dominated by men.

The Gemstone program
is a very selective four-year
multidisciplinary research
program run through the
Honors College.

Dr. James Wallace, a
mechanical engineering pro-
fessor, runs the program. In
order to receive the Gem-
stone citation, students are
required to take a rigorous
course load that includes one
or two seminars every semes-
ter.

The program is 18 cred-
its total, which is the equiva-
lent of a minor. Students in
the program are split into
teams of eight to 14 people
and complete a team project
at the end of the program.
A thesis is also required for
Gemstone.

New Gemstone students
are invited to attend Gems
Camp, an overnight retreat in
late August. This allows the
students to get to know the
people that they will be work-
ing with for the next four
years. On the first day, camp-
ers spend time getting to
know each other and on the
second day, they participate
in a team service project.

Gemstone also has many
other extracurricular activi-
ties, and holds its very own
formal every winter in the
Stamp Student Union.

I07

Global Communities is a
two-year, living-learning pro-
gram run through the Inter-
national House in Dorchester
HaJl for students to develop
an understanding of global is-
sues. The International House
started in 1992 and Global
Communities began in 2001.
Global Communities wel-
comed its first group of stu-
dents in 2002. The Interna-
tional House "had as its main
goals promoting understand-
ing, cooperation, and friend-
ship between international
and domestic students at the
university," according to their
website.

Of the 168 residents in
Dorchester Hall, approxi-
mately 100 are in Global Com-
munities. The program brings
together students from more
than 30 different cultural
backgrounds— including 12-
15 exchange students each
semester— to create an inter-
national community

Participants are required
to take at least 10 credit
hours of coursework.

Global Communities en-
courages cross-cultural un-
derstandings. According to
the program's website, Global
Communities "provides a fun
and comfortable environment
where students can satisfy
their curiosity for the world
and its cultures, while at the

same time offering unique
academic opportunities to fos-
ter the development of essen-
tial global competency skills."

The director of Global
Communities, Kevin McClure,
teaches many of the courses
within the program, including
Culture and Cultural Differ-
ences, Workshops on Global
Issues, Global Communities
Capstone, and Education and
the Islamism— Secularism De-
bate. The hands-on learning
experiences of the students
within the program and the
staff running the program
allow students to explore
boundaries of global issues to
their fullest potentials.

Among the program's
missions and goals. Global
Communities aims to culti-
vate a forum for students to
develop communication strat-
egies across cultural and lin-
guistic boundaries.

Hinman CEOs, the na-
tion's first living-learning
entrepreneurship program,
is run through the Maryland
Technology Enterprise Insti-
tute. It allows students to live
together, learn about entre-
preneurship and launch new
ventures.

Hinman CEOs is named
after Brian Hinman, an alum-
nus of the A. James Clark
School of Engineering, and
successful entrepreneur
who donated $2.5 million to
create and support the pro-
gram. Students in the pro-
gram live with their teams
in South Campus Commons
2 and work together to enter
their entrepreneurial ven-
tures in the annual Univer-
sity of Maryland $50K Busi-
ness Plan Competition every
spring.

There are 90 students in
the program and the history
of the program shows that 25
percent of students develop
and launch companies as un-
dergraduates, according to
the Hinman CEOs website.
Students in the program are
encouraged to seek intern-
ships through their line of
study as well. The students
in the program have the op-
portunity to work with the
program director and execu-
tives-in-residence just down

Honor Humanities, of-
fered through the Honors
College, is a program for stu-
dents of all majors and back-
grounds who have an interest
in creative arts and humani-
ties. Students in the program
live in Wicomico Hall and are
challenged by a rigorous cur-
riculum comprised of "inno-
vative courses" and "themat-
ic programming that takes
learning beyond the class-
room walls," according to the
website.

The program was cre-
ated in 1996 by Dr Phyllis
Peres and has since been
recognized nationally as a
leading program in under-
graduate humanities studies.
Honors Humanities offers op-
portunities for its students to
hear distinguished guest lec-
turers and participate in ex-
tracurricular events and cul-
tural outings around campus
and downtown in Washington,
D.C.

Diversity is the main
building block of the pro-
gram and during the last five
years, according to the pro-
gram's website, students in
Honors Humanities have won
the Marshall, Mitchell and
other nationai scholarships,
a University Medal, a Pulitzer
Prize and acclaim for a new
play on Broadway.

Starting this fall, the pro-

gram will require students
to complete 16 credits— 10
credits through Honors Hu-
manities (HHUM) and sik
credits of seminars in the
humanities, which also count
for CORE credit. Previously
the program required seven
credits of Honors Humanities
courses (ARHU/HHUM) and
nine credits of seminar cours-
es. The Keystone Project com-
plements students' interests
and coursework by requiring
a departmental honors thesis.

Honors Humanities
hosted the lecture series Hu-
man Rights in the Global
Age, which included forward-
thinking lectures, trips, sym-
posia, film screenings and
special guests to discuss hu-
man rights in the global age
and how it influences the
various aspects of humani-
ties. The yearlong program
culminates with the 4th An-
nual Honors Humanities Un-
dergraduate Research Sym-
posium, which will allow an
open discussion about critical
issues that affect humanity.

The Jimenez-Porter
Writers' House is a campus-
wide literary program for
creative writing. It consists
of 50-60 undergraduate stu-
dents that enjoy writing sto-
ries, poems and plays.

The Jimenez-Porter
Writers' House is a two-year
living-learning program that
allows hands-on experience
for upperclassmen at the uni-
versity, though the program
does occasionally consider
extremely talented freshmen.
During their first year in the
program, participants are
required to take three ARHU
courses and a supporting
three-credit class, produce a
writing portfolio and serve on
at least one committee.

During their second
year, students in the Writers'
House must take two ARHU
courses, produce a culminat-
ing Chapbook to display at
Litfest and serve on a com-
mittee to receive a notation.

Students have the oppor-
tunity to be published in Sty-
lus, a literary art journal that
compiles student work. Other
activities include Writers'
Here and Now events, where
authors come to read their
work, and TerPoets, an open
mic event that is held once a
week.

The Language House was
created in 1989 as the first
hving-learning program at
the university. The program
is open to second semester
freshmen and older students
who opt for "daily language
and cultural immersion in
an organized study environ-
ment," according to the web-
site. The Language House
provides an international
community atmosphere with
clusters in Arabic, Chinese,
French, German, Hebrew,
Italian, Japanese, Persian,
Russian and Spanish.

To live in the Language
House, students are required
to take three to six credits
each semester in a language,
attend weekly cluster meet-
ings and attend annual house
activities like the House As-
sembly, Around the World
Dinner and Maryland Day
events. They must also attend
Language House club meet-
ings to facilitate inter-cluster
communication.

The program is run out
of St. Mary's Hall.

The Language House
also has a strong alumni com-
munity. Alumni experiences
provide guidance to current
program participants as well
as serve as a testament to the
quality of opportunities the
Language House students ex-
perience.

University Honors is one
of the living-learning pro-
grams through the Honors
College (others are Digital
Cultures and Creativity, En-
trepreneurship and Innova-
tion, Gemstone and Honors
Humanities). The program
has approximately 500-600
students. Students remain in
the University Honors pro-
gram for their entire four
years at the university, but
most complete an Honors
Citation during their junior
year.

In order to earn the cita-
tion on their transcript, stu-
dents in University Honors
must complete 16 credits in
Honors classes, nine of which
must be Honors seminars.

Honors seminars focus
on three areas: Contempo-
rary Issues and Challenges,
Arts and Sciences in Today's
World and Using the World as
a Classroom. More than 130
of these seminars are offered
each year, and class sizes are
kept small, allowing for more
hands-on discussion

Students can chose be-
tween Honors courses and
H-version courses, which are
Honors versions of regular
courses at the university

Students in this program
live in Denton or Anne Arun-
del Hall. The program is head-
ed by Dr. William Dorland.

Route 1 is a major national high-
way that runs along the East Coast
from Maine to Florida. But to the
students at this university, Route 1
takes on a whole new meaning. From
post-game riots to celebrity sightings,
the highway has seen national news.
Route 1 provides a divide between
on-campus residence halls and off-
campus parties. And, when students
need a break from campus life, many
head down to the establishments on
Route 1.

The College Park Shopping Cen-
ter has restaurants like Applebee's,
Boston Market, Chipotle Mexican
Grill, Cold Stone Creamery, Jason's
Deli, Noodles &? Company and Star-
bucks. Yogiberry became a quick fa-
vorite when it opened last year. Oth-
er favorites include Ratsie's Pizzeria
and the recently opened Vito's Pizze-
ria and Street Tacos.

With the recent closings of bars
like the Mark, Santa Fe Cafe and
Thirsty Turtle, students have flood-
ed the two remaining bars on Route
1: Cornerstone Grill and Loft and RJ
Bentley's.

Students looking for quick sup-
plies and outfits frequent CVS and
Rugged Wearhouse on Route 1.
Whether it is for a costume party or
job interview. Rugged provides all
sorts of last-minute clothing options.

Aside from the University Book
Center in Stamp Student Union, stu-

116

dents have looked to the Maryland
Book Exchange and Book Holders
just off Route 1 for their books and
Terrapin gear.

Farther down, the View high-

the university and Route 1. Even far-
ther still, students can visit the Col-
lege Park Diner, IHOP, Buffalo Wild
Wings, Home Depot, Mamma Lucia
and Hard Times Cafe. Liquor stores
like No. 1 Liquors, Town Hall and Col-
lege Park Liquors are also available
for students to purchase alcohol for

Every year, members of the University of
Maryland community gather on McKeldin Mall for

the First Look Fair, an annual event that hosts
various student clubs and organizations, campus
departments, community service groups and more.
According to the website, "the festive atmosphere
is the perfect place to gather resources, learn more
about how to get involved, and connect with other
students with similar interests." Students can put
their names and contact information on sign-up
lists for organizations, pick up brochures and take
part in other fun activities. The 2010 First Look
Fair was the 28th annual event, and it was held
Sept. 15 and Sept. 16. These next few pages pro-
vide a glimpse into the 2010 First Look Fair.

The Department of Transporta-
tion Services at the university offers
students a variety of modes of trans-
portation. From on-campus parking
to the Shuttle-UM buses, students
have many ways to get around.

And, by the end of their four
years at this university, many stu-
dents will have incurred one of those
yellow envelopes with a $75 ticket
slid inside. Those who park on cam-
pus won't forget having to move their
cars every week for basketball and
football games— and then having to
move them back just hours later.

While DOTS' buses were once at
the center of controversy with their
cleaning policies, every student who
has ever lived on North Campus re-
members how grateful they were for
the orange, purple, silver and green
bus (or whichever bus got to the
Montgomery Hall stop first after rev-
eling on Route 1 on a Friday night).
The university also has its own coach
buses with the university insignia
across the side for traveling athletes
and student groups lucky enough to
travel in them. They even have Wi-
Fi!

Many students also bike around
campus. Bikers can register their
bikes through DOTS, which allows for
free lock cutting and a greener com-
mute around campus. There are bike
racks located outside of every build-

ing on campus, which allow students
the chance to ride to class, but also
keep the bike near their residence
hall when needed.

Another form of transporta-
tion that has swarmed campus the
last couple of years is motor scoot-
ers. Scooters are all over campus
and are oftentimes used by athletes.
Nearly 300 scooters are registered
with DOTS, which requires registra-
tion and a permit sticker displayed
on the scooter's handlebar stem. This
form of transportation, however, has
been pelted with criticism over the
last year in relation to scooter safety.
Nonetheless, scooters remain one of
the most popular forms of transpor-
tation on the campus.

Entering the world of Greek life at the University of Maryland is an extraor-
dinarily rewarding experience for many students. The lifelong commitment
offered by fraternity and sorority membership is one that solidifies a bond
of friendship, which far surpasses the quick blur of the college journey. Pro-
viding a sense of stability in a volatile world, the life of Greeks illustrates
an opportunity to expand leadership skills, strive for academic excellence,
become involved with the community and engage in an atmosphere of social
events and connections.

SORORITY RUSH:

a process heavily dependent on the time of year

FALL RECRUITMENT

1. Advertisement: The end of summer break marks the kick-off of Fall Rush
as Greeks start advertising their chapters immediately. The infamous chalk-
ing technique paints the campus with Greek letters, enticing potential new
members to engage in the rush process. Fliers, candy, pens and more are
distributed on campus and throughout the dorms to ignite the Greek flame
within new students. During the "Meet the Greeks" fair on McKeldin Mall,
potential new members engage with members of each chapter and receive a
bit more insight regarding the essence of each chapter.

S. Sister Meet and Greet: The informality of fall rush appeals to those who
find the rigid structure of spring recruitment to be a bit intimidating. The
circus of "Open Houses" held by each sorority enables potential new mem-
bers to meet the women of each sorority and tour each chapter at one's lei-
sure. This freedom to choose which house to surveil allows each chapter to

fully grasp which potential
new members are interested.

3. Bids: Since fall rush is
significantly less formal
than spring recruitment,
sorority chapters are al-
lowed to stream bids to new
members whenever they
deem it necessary How-
ever, bids are not endless,
since chapter maximum
is set at quota of 95 mem-
bers. Bids are dispersed to as many women
as desired without exceeding the quota.

4. Bid Day: Bid Day is a joyous occasion. Upon entering the chapter house,
new members are greeted by future sisters as they sign and accept bids.

5. New Member Period: The moment a new member signs her bid, she em-
barks on a several week journey where she learns the secrets, traditions and
meaning of her chapter's rituals and is embraced by fellow new members.

6. Initiation: Once the several weeks of new member period have been com-
pleted and they fully grasp the meaning of sisterhood and the core meaning
of the chapter's foundation, new members are officially initiated into the so-
rority Initiation is a covert and sacred ceremony peppered with symbolism
and traditions dating back to the chapter's creation.

SPRING RECRUITMENT

1. Sign Up: The intense formality of spring recruitment requires potential
new members to register for rush process on the university's Panhellenic
Association website.

8. Group Introduction: Spring recruitment attracts a wider range of poten-
tial new members. Upon registration, rushes are divided into "Rho Gamma
Groups" on the first day of this formal recruitment. Since the process is
lengthy and intricate, chosen women in Greek life dubbed Rho Gammas lead
each group, providing guidance and ameliorating any confusion or obstacles
that arise throughout the rush process.

149

3. Chapter Meet and Greet: Instead of choosing a select few, mirroring the
fall process, Rho Gamma groups in the spring are required to survey all 14
Pan-Hellenic recognized sororities that the university has to offer. Although
this is a vastly rigid structure and provides little freedom of leisure like fall
rush, it does illuminate new possibilities and connections with chapters that
could go unrecognized in the fall.

4. Tighten the Focus: After a day of interacting with each chapter, the selec-
tion process begins. Potential new members meet with their Rho Gamma to
categorize their top 10 chapters in descending order of desirability. This is a
mutual selection process and they will only return to their desired chapters
who felt a mutual connection and chose them as well. This process is con-
tinued, with the next stage requiring a list comprised of their preferred six
chapters and then three. Finally, at the commencement of the rush journey,
potential new members strip their lists and reveal their No. 1 chapter with
which they desire to affiliate themselves.

5. Bids: The mutual selection process ensures a potential new member will
receive a bid from one of the top three chapters she has selected.

6. Bid Day: Bids are collected at Stamp Student Union, where new members
are informed of their future chapter affiliations. Bid day is a day saturated
with joy and excitement as new members meet at the chapel, receive their
respected bid day shirts and partake in the traditional "r\in" from the chapel
to their new chapter house. Their new sisters greet them with a flood of signs
and chants that represent their chapter's spirit and pride.

7. NEW MEMBER PERIOD and INITIATION in the spring is a replica of
those held in the fall.

FRATERNITY RUSH

** /

There are few parallels when comparing rushing a fraternity to the sorority
recruitment process. For instance, the fraternity rush is unfazed by the sea-
sonal changes, as spring rush mirrors that of the fall. Also, fraternity rush is
stripped of any formality, freeing the men of fraternities from trivial restric-
tions and enabling a free world to choose events they deem best for connect-
ing with future brothers.

1. Social Events: The beginning of each semester is defined as "Rush Week,"
signifying the beginning of fraternity rush that not only men reap the ben-
ISO

efits. Several social events including house parties and "grab-a-dates" com-
prise the essence of fraternity rush as they entice potential new members
to join with the hope and promise of this fun and exciting lifestyle in the
near future. Parties welcome all to join, promoting and advertising each
chapter and creating an opportunity for the brothers to socialize in a re-
laxed atmosphere with potential new members.

Z, Brotherhood Events: Fraternities host Brotherhood Events to facili-
tate an environment of "bromance," where potential new members are
familiarized with different aspects of the fraternity and meet the broth-
ers on a more personal level, away from the distractions presented during
social events held at night. These brotherhood events include dinners at
the house, dinners at restaurants peppering the Route 1 area and sporting
events, such as basketball games. The brothers host "Invite Only" events,
usually grab-a-dates, for select potential new members, illustrating the se-
lection process has begun.

3. Bids: After assessing who has shown interest in their chapter and evalu-
ating which members would be assets to the brotherhood, the men of each
fraternity extend bids to those new members.

4. New Member Period and Initiation: Similar to sororities, fraterni-
ties' new member period spans the length of a few weeks, educating new
members about the essence of the chapter, its history and members of the
brotherhood. Upon completion, members are initiated into the brotherhood
with a sacred ceremony inumdated with the chapter's history, traditions
and covert rituals.

''My favorite part of attending tlie

University of Maryland was being able to

get involved in so many meaningful

activities. My experience was largely

defined by my two years as an RA in

ttagerstown Joining Alpha Chi Sigma and

studying abroad in Spain for a summer. [*ve

met tons of people that are both similar and

very different from me and they've taught

me a lot about myself and the world. I really

Just before school began, the
2008 Oljmipic Games in Beijing, Chi-
na, ended, with superstars like Mi-
chael Phelps in swimming and Usain
Bolt in track-and-field making head-
lines for their extraordinary perfor-
mances. As students moved into their
apartments and dorm rooms, presi-
dential candidate and Sen, John Mc-
Cain named Sarah Palin as his run-
ning mate.

Palin was not the only surprise
of the new academic year-students
returned to find that DOTS added the
Silver Line to its nighttime bus ser-
vice, and CRS got rid of fees for group
exercise classes. In other news, on
Sept. 22, the state announced a $12
million cut from the university bud-
get.

On the other side of the world,
a political crisis in Thailand forced
Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej
to resign from his position Oct. 2. Fi-
nancial crisis was the topic of Octo-
ber in the United States and around
the world, after President George W.
Bush signed the Emergency Econom-
ic Stabilization Act on Oct. 3. This
act would provide failing banks with
a $700 billion bailout plan. The uni-
versity also lost almost $63 million
in endowments this year. While na-
tions all over the world were affected
by this crisis, they managed to band

together through science when the
Large Hadron Collider, a collabora-
tion of more than 10,000 scientists
and engineers from more than 100
countries, was officially inaugurated
Oct. 21. Students managed to keep
spirits up at the annual Homecoming
Comedy Show where comedian Lew-
is Black made the night a memorable
one.

November brought hope and
change to the American people as
Sen. Barack Obama made history
when he was elected as the first Afri-
can-American president of the Unit-
ed States. In world news, terrorist
attacks killed almost 200 people in
Mumbai, India, and religious unrest
in Jos, Nigeria, resulted in four days
of rioting and nearly 400 casualties.
Back at home, the university initiated
more efforts to go green when DOTS
ordered four hybrid buses to haul stu-
dents throughout the campus.

Spain's victory in the World Cup
and Chelsea Chnton's wedding domi-
nated news stories over the summer,
but by the time students returned
to school, the repeal of Proposition
8 in California, Ground Zero mosque
debates and a bed bug outbreak had
taken over newsstands. For students,
the new school year meant a new uni-
versity president; it was announced
Aug. 17 that Wallace Loh would re-
place President Dan Mote beginning
in November.

The fall semester began with
startling news of a hostage situation
at the Discovery Channel headquar-
ters in Silver Spring, where many
Maryland students and alumni work.
On Sept. 14, a U.S. hiker was released
from Iran after being detained for 13
months under spying allegations.

A mining disaster was avoided
in Chile in October, when 300 miners

Fear" on the National Mall to mock
some of the ongoing political tension.
Students flocked to the rally just as
they had flocked to Cole Field House
on Oct. 11 to watch comedian Demetri
Martin perform at the Homecoming
Comedy Snow.

November was a month full of
political stories. Republicans won
control of the House during midterm
elections Nov. 4, and former President
George W. Bush released his book, De-
cision Points, on Dec. 9. WikiLeaks re-
leased confidential American files to
the public later in the month, causing
uproar in the political atmosphere. At
the international level. North Korea
bombed South Korea, causing ten-
sions to reach a new high. On a light-
er note. Prince William announced
his engagement to Kate Middleton on
Nov. 16, sparking anticipation and
excitement around the world. In Col-
lege Park, students mourned the loss
of the short-lived bar, the Thirsty
Turtle, which closed after an inspec-
tion following a stabbing outside the
bar.

In December, the university un-
expectedly bought out football head
coach Ralph Friedgen's contract for
$2 million and replaced him with
Connecticut football coach Randy Ed-
sall. The nation mourned the death of
Elizabeth Edwards, the former wife
of Sen. John Edwards, on Dec. 7 af-

assault in Sweden on the same day.

The Terrapin baseball team is
looking at 2011 as one of the first
building blocks in what second-year
coach Erik Bakich hopes will be a
transition from AGO afterthoughts to
national contender.

With the arrival of the nation's
No. 25 recruiting class and revamped
facilities, the Terps will look to im-
prove on their ugly 2010 campaign
(17-39, 5-25 AGO) and begin ascend-
ing the conference ladder. The 22
newcomers will have to mesh with
the Terps' returning contributors,
such as shortstop Alfredo Rodriguez
or pitcher/utility player Gary Sch-
neider, if the team hopes to succeed
this season.

The Terps will open their season
with a four-game tilt at juggernaut
Texas, a stretch of games that should
serve as a good tune-up for the team
before their grueling AGG schedule
begins.

The team' s pitching staff will like-
ly need an influx of young talent as it
tries to recover from the loss of pitch-
ers Dan Gentzler and Adam Kolarek
to Major League Baseball. Freshman
Tyler Vail, who was drafted in the
fifth round of last year's MLB draft,
should be one of those looked at to
firm up the pitching staff, which has
been unable to compete at an AGG-
level over the past several years.

With Bakich's attitude and in-

374

flux of talent, however, one thing is
for sure: The Terps are back. It may
take awhile, but the program is back
on the road to prominence, both with-
in the conference and on the national
spectrum.

returning to the tournament bubble
and sneaking into the Big Dance in
typical Terp fashion.

Coach Brenda Frese has grown
accustomed to success. In her eight
full seasons on the bench for the Ter-
rapin women's basketball team, she
has taken the Terps to the NCAA
Tournament all but two times and
took home a national championship
in 2006.

So last season's teeter-totter,
mediocre season that sent the Terps
to the WNIT rather than the Big
Dance did not sit well with the vet-
eran coach. The Terps suffered tough
losses to Georgia Tech, Virginia and
Boston College to place added pres-
sure on the ACC Tournament, where
the Terps would top North Carolina
before faltering against top-seeded
Duke.

This led to Frese making whole-
sale changes. Despite losing just one
senior— shooting guard Lori Bjork—
to graduation, Frese set out to trans-
form her Terps into an entirely new
team. To do this, Frese brought in
former University of Texas condi-
tioning coach Kyle Tarp to mold her
Terps into an up-tempo, physically
fit group of players. Some returning
Terps, such as center Lynetta Kizer
and guard Anjale Barrett, are now
hardly recognizable.

That physical transformation
was augmented by the arrival of the
No. 2 recruiting class in the nation.
Alyssa Thomas, Natasha Cloud, Lau-
rin Mincy and Alicia DeVaughn have
all contributed throughout the Terps'
hot 13-3 start to the new season, a
stretch that included wins over No. 17
St. John's, Purdue and St. Joseph's.

The Terps drew the short straw
when it comes to ACC scheduling,
starting their slate against No. 3
Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium in
Durham, N.C. Led by Thomas, guard
Kim Rodgers and forward Diandra
Tchatchouang, the Terps led the Blue
Devils for much of the game and ap-
peared primed for an upset victory
that would again establish the squad
amongst the nation's elite. Unfortu-
nately for the Terps, the Blue Devils
came roaring back in the final three
minutes behind All-American guard
Jasmine Thomas to take the victory,
71-64.

Even after a surprising loss to
Boston College at Comcast Center in
the Terps' second conference game,
though, the team certainly appears
capable of challenging for an ACC ti-
tle and making noise in the Big Dance
in March. They have squared off with
some of the nation's top teams already
(Duke, Georgetown, St. John's), and
their lauded freshman class will only
improve as the conference slate con-
tinues. It's fair to say that, at this point
in the season, it seems that Frese has
once again turned her squad into a
contender.

The University of Maryland be-
came known for its prowess in wom-
en's sports under the guidance of
former athletic director Debbie Yow.
Perhaps the most dominant of these
women's sports, though, is one that
you hear little about. 2010 saw the
Terrapin competitive cheer team
continue to dominate the sport, win-
ning their fourth national title in the
past five years last April in Da3^ona
Beach, Fla.

One of the nation's few competi-
tive cheer programs that offers any
scholarships, the Terps have had lit-
tle trouble maintaining their dynasty
Again ranked No. 1 in the country in
2011 after their impressive national
title run last spring, the Terps have
not been a let-down, avoiding an up-
set at the hands of No. 4 Baylor with
a comeback in the final two heats of
the meet to start their title defense
at 2-0 before an extended break until
early February.

The Terps will get back to work
in February, where they will have to
deal with Baylor and Quinnipiac for
the second time in addition to deal-
ing with the sport's other three com-
petitors in Oregon, Azusa Pacific and
Fairmont St., before they will arrive
in Eugene, Ore., on April 7 to once
again compete for the national cham-
pionship.

The Terrapin men's and wom-
en's cross-country programs, just as
they did in 2009, followed remark-
ably similar paths in their 2010 sea-
sons. After up-and-down regular sea-
sons, in which they each finished as
high as 14th as a team in large meets
(each at the Penn State National at
State College, Pa.), the Terp men
would run to an eighth-place finish
in the AGO Championships in Boston,
while the women finished in 10th.

The men were once again led
by standout Greg Kelsey, whose ef-
forts landed him a spot in the NCAA
Nationals in Terre Haute, Ind. Af-
ter earning All-AGG status with an
eighth-place individual effort at Bos-
ton's AGG Championships on Oct. 30,
Kelsey went on to again finish eighth
in the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional
to become the only Terp to earn the
right to run in the NCAA Nationals,
where he finished in the top-half with
a 103rd place overall finish.

Led by junior Ashley Gromartie,
the women Terps would go on to the
NCAA Mid- Atlantic Regionals with an
outside hope of qualifying for the na-
tional championships. Unfortunately,
Gromartie led the Terps with a 38th-
place finish, which was not enough for
any Terps to continue their season.

Led by coach Andrew Valmon,
the Terps will look for improvement
as they approach the 2011 season
next fall.

The memory of 2009's Nation-
al Championship loss to rival North
Carolina was fresh in the minds of the
members of the Terrapin field hockey
team all season. The 3-2 heartbreak-
er last season spoiled the Terps' oth-
erwise blemish-free campaign, and
this season they set out to finish what
they started last year.

They didn't disappoint. With a
thrilling 3-2, double-overtime vic-
tory over the Tar Heels on Nov. 21,
the Terps claimed the NCAA champi-
onship and completed an impressive
season in which they lost only once
and held the national-ranking of No.
1 for much of the campaign.

Led by two-time National Play-
er of the Year Katie O'Donnell and
fellow Ail-Americans Megan Frazer
(1st Team), Jill Witmer (2nd Team)
and Jemma Buckley (3rd Team), the
Terps sailed through much of their
season, with their only loss coming at
the hands of No. 4 Princeton on Sept.
28.

After topping the Tar Heels in the
ACC Championship game, the Terps
moved on to the NCAA Tournament.
They would roll past Massachusetts,
Connecticut and Ohio St. to set up the
rematch of last season's NCAA Cham-
pionship game with the Tar Heels.

This time, the Terps reversed
the score, coming out on top after a
double-overtime battle with Frazer's
heroic goal.

282

While the Terps will have to deal
with replacing O'Donnell, their re-
turning roster is more than capable
of not only dealing with O'Donnell's
loss, but also competing once again
for a national championship.

The Terrapin men's golf team
appears to t>e building from their me-
diocre spring season last year, which
was highlighted by a third-place fin-
ish in March in Williamsburg, Va.,
as they enter this year's spring sea-
son. The Terps entered their fall sea-
son determined to improve, and, as a
whole, they did.

Tom Hanna III, Stephen Bos-
dosh and Sean Brannan led the team
to three top-six tournament finishes,
the most notable coming in the Wolf-
pack Invitational. In Raleigh, N.C.,
junior John Popeck tied for fifth-
place individually to lead the Terps
to a fourth-place finish in the 17 team
tournament. As the Terps continue to
mesh their veterans with incomers,
they hope the team can mold togeth-
er into a competitor both this spring
season and beyond.

The Terrapin women's golf team
has enjoyed far more success of late
than their male counterparts. Led by
AIl-ACC performers Christine Shimel
and Jessica HoUandsworth, the Terps
cruised through their spring sched-
ule and qualified for the NCAA West
Regional Tournament. They head-
ed to Stanford, Calif., in May for the
competition, where the team finished
in 18th place out of 24 teams. They
did not qualif7 for the National Tour-
nament.

The Terps will look to continue
on their winning ways.

The 2009-2010 season appeared
primed to be a banner year for the
Terrapin g5minastics program as a
national title did not seem out of the
realm of possibilities. However, a
string of injuries led the Terps to sput-
ter to the end of their season. A No.
2 seed at the EAGL championships
yielded a sixth-place finish, and the
season would eventually end in a bit-
terly disappointing last-place show-
ing at the NCAA Southeast Regional
Championship.

After graduating six seniors
from last year's squad, though, it
seems that coach Brett Nelligan will
look to his lauded recruiting class to
help the Terps move forward from last
season's disappointments to take an-
other step forward in the program's
progression. Nelligan brought in two
former high school national cham-
pions - Karen Tang and Elizabethe
Manzi - in what could easily be the
program's best-ever freshman class.

But they will have to learn fast.
While the Terps do return the reign-
ing EAGL All-Around Champion in
Abigail Adams and last season's EAGL
Rookie of the Year Kelsey Cofsky, the
Terps will have a tough road in front
of them in the strong EAGL. In their
first match-up of 2011, the Terps fell
at Kent State, 194.775-195.125. De-
spite the loss, though, the Terps put
forth a good showing, as their score
was the highest score they had seen

in a season-opener since 2000. Ad-
ams and freshman Katy Dodds led the
way with scores of 9.8 on the bars.

The Terps will be busy with 21
meets before the EAGL champion-
ships and eventually the NCAA Tour-
nament, so there will be plenty of
time to improve.

It's a time of change for the Ter-
rapin men's lacrosse team. A national
powerhouse that has been devoid of
a national championship since 1975,
the Terps decided to make a change
after last season's disappointments
and did away with head coach Dave
Cottle.

After droppingjust three regular
season games last season— two to Vir-
ginia and one to North Carolina— the
Terps were unable to live up to their
potential in the postseason, losing in
the quarterfinals to underdog Notre
Dame. Incoming coach John Tillman
will hope to do what Cottle couldn't:
win on the national scale.

With a grueling schedule that
includes Georgetown, Johns Hopkins
and Navy on top of the team's ACC
opponents— Duke, Virginia and North
Carolina— the Terps will have plenty
of experience against the nation's top
dogs by tournament time.

Senior attackman Grant Catali-
no, a 1st team preseason All-Ameri-
can, will lead the charge for the Terps
as they hope to avenge last season's
quarterfinal upset to Notre Dame in
the National Tournament. Catalino
was one of six Terps recognized with
the preseason honor of Ail-Ameri-
can; seniors Brett Schmidt and Ryan
Young also earned nods, while John
Haus, Max Schmidt and Brian Far-
rell all enter the season as honorable

292

mentions.

The biggest question mark for
the Terps heading into the season ap-
pears to be at goalie, where no clear
starter has emerged from a group
of four netminders. If the Terps can
harness the energy of a new coach
in Tillman, who arrives after three
successful seasons on the bench at
Harvard, this year's team appears to
have the talent to bring the program
back to heights that it hasn't been to
in decades. Then again, this season
could very well also be a bridge year
as the program acclimates itself to a
new coaching system while trying to
rebuild after losing several pieces of
last season's storied attack to gradu-
ation. For this year's Terps, it's any-
one's guess how high they can climb.

If you ask coach Cathy Reese
and the Terrapin women's lacrosse
team what their plans are this sea-
son, there's little doubt as to what
the universal answer would be. "Win,
and win often."

As the Terps look to match last
season's national championship run,
they'll look to senior co-captains Sar-
ah Mollison, Katie Gallagher and Lau-
ra Merrifield to replace the leader-
ship lost by the graduation of national
player of the year Caitlyn McFadden.
The Terps will have to navigate a crip-
pling schedule, as usual, if they hope
to return to the limelight this season
for the 12th national title.

Attacker Karri Ellen Johnson,
the preseason player of the year, will
likely be looked upon to take on much
of the weight that had rested on Mc-
Fadden' s shoulders over the past four
seasons. The Annapolis native and
her teammates must be prepared to
do battle this season, however, as
their position atop the lacrosse world
places a target securely on their jer-
seys, not to mention the fact that their
schedule includes seven of the nine
teams that join the Terps in the pre-
season top- 10 (most notably AGO foes
North Garolina and Duke, No. 3 and
No. 4, respectively). Missing from the
schedule, though, is No. 2 Northwest-
ern, whom the Terps stunned in last
year's national championship game
with a fantastic comeback. Rematch,
perhaps?

It all begins and ends with pitch-
ing, and the Terrapin women's soft-
ball team has plenty of it.

With the return of aces Ker-
ry Hickey and Kendra Knight, the
Terps appear primed to charge back
into the NCAA Tournament for the
second consecutive season after a
second-round loss in last season's
tournament. After a solid season, the
Terps earned the right to host a re-
gional of the NCAA Tournament, but
after topping Syracuse, 4-1, they fell
to Fordham in an elimination game
and were unable to make it out of Col-
lege Park and farther in the national
tournament.

The Terps graduated a slew of
seniors, but will likely miss the bat
of Alex Schultz in the middle of the
lineup. However, a strong freshman
class should help coach Laura Witten
improve on last year's successes and
help transform the Terps into an ACC
power.

Freshman outfielder Candace
Beards should help spark the Terps'
offense. Beards arrives in College
Park having earned All- America hon-
ors at Paramus Catholic High School
in New Jersey, and appears to have
a unique combination of offense, de-
fense and speed.

The Terps' schedule is highlight-
ed by 12 opponents who were part of
last season's 64-team NCAA Tourna-

ment field, which will give the Terps
experience heading into what they
hope will be a deeper run into the na-
tional tourney as the team continues
to shape itself into a contender.

Coach Sasho Cirovski and the
Terrapin men's soccer program have
grown accustomed to winning. In
fact, it seems that they've come to
expect it. With two national champi-
onships under their belts since 2002,
the Terps appeared primed for anoth-
er exciting postseason after finishing
the regular season ranked No. 3 in
the country with a 14-2-1 record.

After getting off to a rough start
with their season opening loss at
Ludwig Field to Michigan State, who
staved off a Terp comeback en route
to a 4-3 overtime victory, the Terps
lost just one more regular season
game (on Sept. 24 to No. 3 North Car-
olina). With wins over No. 2 Connecti-
cut, No. 9 Duke and No. 11 Virginia in
the second half of the regular season,
it seemed that Cirovski and the Terps
were well on their way to another ap-
pearance in the College Cup after fal-
tering in the Elite Eight last season.

Those hopes were only reaf-
firmed after an upset victory over
the top-seeded Tar Heels in the ACC
Championship game in Cary, N.C., on
Nov. 14. All- American goalkeeper Zac
MacMath put the Terps on his back
after fellow All- American Matt Kas-
sel buried an early penalty kick, mak-
ing six saves en route to his program-
record 13th shutout of the season.

The Terps entered the NCAA
Tournament as the No. 1 seed in
their bracket, ensuring that every

196

tilt before the College Cup (which was
held in Santa Barbara, Calif.) would
be held within the confines of Ludwig
Field. And all appeared to be going as
planned, as the Terps got past Penn
and Penn St. to reach their third con-
secutive Elite Eight. Unfortunately
for the Terps, a late Michigan goal el-
evated the Wolverines to the College
Cup with a 3-2 victory in a heart-
breaking loss for one of the nation's
most storied programs.

The Terps will now need to reload
if they hope to msike another run at a
title next fall. With the graduation of
key contributors Jason Herrick, Doug
Rodkey and Billy Cortes, as well as
the likely loss of MacMath to the MLS
(as well as defender Ethan White,
who alreadyjoined D.C. United), next
year will showcase a vastly different
group of Terps than did this season.
However, with a slew of returning
starters highlighted by striker Casey
Townsend, expect Cirovski to put yet
another national competitor on the
field come August as the Terps once
again seek their third national cham-
pionship.

While coach Sean Schimmel led only
the Terrapin women's swimming and div-
ing team to the NCAA Championships in
2010, it was a banner year for both the men
and the women. Throughout the course of
the season, each program earned votes on
the national scale, and the women's team
posted a fourth place finish at the ACC
Championships last February.

A young men's team came into the
2010-2011 season with the hopes of tak-
ing the Terps into the discussion within
the ACC. The nation's No. 22 recruiting
class, however, has yet to yield results for
Schimmel to this point in the season. De-
spite a first-place finish at the low-level
Terrapin Cup and a huge win over Towson,
the Terps have been unable to harness
any momentum from these highs. Instead,
their other meets have resulted in losses
to N.C. State, Duke, North Carolina, UMBO
and Navy. With meets remaining against
West Virginia and Georgetown on top of the
Terp Invite, though, the Terps have ample
opportunity to work out the kinks before
arriving in Atlanta in late February for the
ACC Championships.

The women's team, on the other
hand, is leaps and bounds ahead of where
the men's program currently stands. Last
season's fourth place finish at the ACC
Championships helped propel them to the
NCAA Championships in West Lafayette,
Ind. They would finish the championships
in 25th place behind the 12th-place finish
by the 400 free relay group of Ginny Glov-

300

er, Annie Fittin, Megan Lafferty and Laura
Wright.

The Terps have maintained that mo-
mentum through the early parts of the
2010-2011 season, with their lone loss
coming at the hands of North Carolina.
The Terps have topped Duke, N.C. State,
Towson, UMBO and Rutgers, in addition to
claiming a first-place Terrapin Cup finish.
As their regular season winds down, the
Terps will look to maintain this momen-
tum and improve on their performances
last season in the ACC and NCAA Champi-
onships in February.

When coach Kyle Spencer arrived
in College Park from Baylor last season,
it was clear that he was not intent on al-
lowing the Terps to perpetuate their rep-
utation as the cellar dwellers of the ACC.
And while the Terps were faced with their
usual struggles in the grueling ACC last
season, finishing the season 13-13 but just
1-10 in the ACC, things appear to be turn-
ing around under Spencer's guidance.

The Terps remain very young, and
with the addition of former Baylor star Ma-
ros Horny and former Virginia Cavalier Da-
vid Nguyen, the team looks to be complete-
ly reshaping itself. The Terps will return
several key contributors from last season,
including Finnish phenoms Tommy Laine
and Jesse Kiuru and local product John
Collins. It remains to be seen whether or
not this year's team is built to compete in
the nation's best tennis conference yet,
but the pieces are in place for Spencer and
the Terps to transform themselves from
the punchline of national tennis jokes to a
force to be reckoned with.

A similar transformation has taken
place with the Terrapin women's tennis
team. Coach Howard Joffe, now in his sec-
ond year, has shown just why his lauded
recruiting abilities landed him the head
coaching job in College Park. Despite going
winless in the ACC last season and win-
ning just five matches all season, Joffe has
brought in highly-touted Cristina Sanchez-
Quintanar, Ana Belzunce, Jordaan San-
ford and Cristina Stancu already, and each
of these four players is arguably more tal-
ented than any player to ever don a Terp
uniform in the past. If the first year is any
indication, Joffe and Spencer are well on
their way to bringing their respective pro-
grams to new heights.

season. Led by eighth year coach An-
drew Valmon, whose coaching theory
essentially surrounds hard work and
competitiveness, the Terps saw five
team members qualify for the NCAA
East Regional Track and Field Cham-
pionships in Greensboro, N.C., last
spring.

The women were led by a trio of
long jumpers in senior Tiffani Long,
junior Kiani Profit and sophomore
Ashley Hendrix, all of whom quali-
fied for the Championships in Greens-
boro. They were joined by junior
discus thrower Kristen Batts and se-
nior Greg Kelsey, who entered in the
3000-meter steeplechase.

Profit, an All- American, was the
lone Terp to move on to the NCAA
Championships, where she compet-
ed in the heptathlon, a competition
in which she would finish in second
place. She would go on to be selected
to Team USA for the NACAC Cham-
pionships, an international compe-
tition, in Indianapolis over the sum-
mer. She won the heptathlon at this
competition, which featured compet-
itors from North America, Central
America and the Caribbean.

With the return of their best
competitor in Profit, the Terps stand
a chance to continue to improve this

Coach Brian Horsmon has been
searching for a breakthrough season
during his four seasons at the helm of
the Terrapin volleyball team.

Through much of this season, it
seemed that Horsmon was primed
for such a breakthrough. The Terps
jumped out of the gates at 8-1, led by
Lisa Scott, Sam Rosario and Brittney
Grove, putting them in position to
qualify for the NCAA Tournament for
the first time in Horsmon' s tenure.

And even as they began their
conference play, the Terps continued
to play well enough that a tourna-
ment appearance was looking good.
Highlighted by an upset victory over
Florida State in October, the Terps
moved through their conference
schedule and managed to remain
slightly about .500 as they entered a
pivotal stretch of three games to close
out the season.

Unfortunately for the Terps, they
stumbled, dropping their final three
matches to the Seminoles, Miami and
Boston College to ail-but seal their
fate on the wrong side of the tourna-
ment bubble once again. While 2010
didn't quite yield the results that the
Terps had hoped for and they once
again proved to be afterthoughts in
the conference, it was a step in the
right direction, and next season will
mark the first where the team will be
comprised entirely of Horsmon's re-
cruits.

The Terrapin water polo team
does not have a long-standing repu-
tation for success. But even after a
sub-. 500 season in 2010, the Terps
qualified for the CWPA Eastern Cham-
pionships as an at-large bid.

After sputtering through their
regular season, essentially beating
the teams they should have beaten
and losing the games they were ex-
pected to lose, they topped George
Washington to earn a third-place
finish at the CWPA Division Tourna-
ment.

That third-place finish may have
helped the Terps qualify for the CWPA
Eastern Championships, where they
were forced to deal with second-seed-
ed Hartwick. The Terps put forth per-
haps their best showing of the sea-
son, mounting a ferocious comeback
to force overtime before eventuaJly
faltering, 13-12.

After falling to Brown, the Terps
would eventually knock off Harvard
to earn 7th-place in the Eastern
Championships. They are now faced
with the task of reloading in the hopes
of improving on their finish last sea-
son with a packed regular season
highlighted by an appearance at the
Michigan Invite in early March.

While the Terps' 2010 top-20
finish at the NCAA Championships
in Omaha, Neb., is nothing to scoff
at, it was a disappointment by most
accoimits. After entering the season
ranked as high as No. 6 in the country
and returning the majority of 2009's
ACC championship roster, coach Ker-
ry McCoy and the Terps had national
championship hopes.

However, a series of heartbreak-
ing losses, highlighted by a close
second-place finish to Virginia at the
ACC Championship, ultimately left
the Terps well short of their goal. And
with the graduation of the program's
only three-time All- American in Hud-
son Taylor and two-time All- Ameri-
can Steven Bell, the Terps came into
this season searching for answers to
questions of how to rebuild and im-
prove on last season's relative disap-
pointment.

Not surprisingly, the Terps en-
tered the new season ranked far low-
er—No. 33 in the country— than Mc-
Coy is accustomed to, but the Terps
have found some success thus far in
the young season. A third-place finish
at the Brockport Invitational, where
they trailed only No. 9 Oklahoma and
No. 23 Rutgers, saw sophomore Josh
Asper named the Most Outstanding
Wrestler.

The Terps went on to knock
off Penn and Northern Iowa at the
Northeast Duals before falling to No.

13 Missouri. Asper once again per-
formed well, winning all three of his
matches, while Kyle John and Mike
Letts also went undefeated.

After a decent 13th-place show-
ing at the Midlands Championships
in Evanston, 111., the Terps rolled
over Boston University, Harvard and
Brown in their next three matches.
They will go on to the meat of their
schedule, squaring off with top pro-
grams such as American and Virgin-
ia before arriving in Charlottesville,
Va., on March 5 in search of another
ACC title. From there, the Terps will
hope to move on to the NCAA Cham-
pionships, which will be held this sea-
son in Philadelphia in mid-March.
