'm an English major, and so it should come as no surprise
that I love stories. Whether it's reading them, writing them, or
telling them, there's nothing better than a good story, and what
better story is there than the one of our time here at the Univer-
sity of Maryland ? *^BB^^^

In honor of that time here, the theme of this 2012 yearbook
is "A Story to Tell." By the time this book is completed, I hope
it will present an accurate look at our college experiences. While
each student s experience inevitably differs, there are many plac-
es, traditions and things tha^ve do share: the Mall, staying up
late and studying for finals in McKeldm Library, rubbing lestu- ■

Through the articles, photographs and anything else we
might add in, this book should provide an expansive look at a
student's life at the University of Maryland, because after all, it
is a story to tell.

Congratulations, Class of 2012 — we did it!

The University of Maryland, College Park is one of the premier academic institutions in the na-
tion. According to U.S. News and World Report, the university is 17th among national public
universities. The university also has 30 programs in the undergraduate and graduate Top 10 rank-
ings (six more than last year) and 71 programs in the Top 25. From modest beginnings in 1 856
as a small agricultural school with four faculty members and 35 students, the University of Mary-
land has developed into a globally preeminent research university with more than 37,000 stu-
dents from more than 130 countries around the world. Needless to say, excellence in academics is
something Terps take pride in. In this section, you'll see a brief overview of the variety of schools
and colleges at the university, including the renowned A.James Clark School of Engineering, the
Philip Merrill College of Journalism and the Robert H. Smith School of Business.

The Office of Undergraduate Studies is the
central hub for programming on campus, shap-
ing almost every aspect of undergraduate life.
Orientation programs, CORE classes and other
vital aspects of campus life are created through
this office.

Living-learning programs are also coordinat-
ed by the office. These programs allow students
of similar backgrounds and academic interests
to live together while taking similar classes and
interacting in select residence halls.

Every student must fulfill certain general edu-
cation classes, including science, math and Eng-
lish. Faculty at the office work to shape these
CORE classes into fundamental programs for
each major. Professors also work to create I-
Series classes, which are a new program for the
university. These classes, first implemented in
Spring 2010, focus on issues, imagination, in-
tellect, inspiration and innovation and are often
taught by experts in a chosen field.

The university's Ombuds is found through
the office's Ombuds Services. An ombudsper-
son looks at ethical dilemmas presented at

the university in an effort to resolve the issue.
Members of the university community, includ-
ing professors and staff, can consult the ombud-
sperson for information about university poli-
cies. The ombudsperson is extremely well versed
in university rules and procedures and is often
consulted for problems not resolvable through
ordinary outlets.

The office has crafted CORE science classes,
called Marquee Courses, which are designed for
students not majoring in science or engineering.
These classes are taught by experts in a chosen
field who volunteer to teach these classes for the
general student population, exposing students
to new ideas.

Every year, the office also chooses a First Year
Book to offer to all faculty, staff and students.
Books from the past four years include The Im-
mortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Sk-
loot, Half the Sky by Nicholas D. Kristof and
Sheryl WuDunn, What is the What by Dave
Eggers and War is a Force that Gives Us Mean-
ing by Chris Hedges.

For college graduates who wish to take their
education a step further, the Graduate School
at the University of Maryland provides a good
opportunity. The School offers a myriad of con-
centrations, ranging in everything from dance
to mechanical engineering. Students can work
toward a certificate, master's degree or doctor-
ate through the School.

Students can also enroll in the Graduate
School without working toward a degree; in-
stead, students can take graduate-level classes
as Advanced Special Students. These students
must have a bachelor's degree and be accepted
into the Graduate School through an admis-
sions process. Advanced Special Students at-
tend University of Maryland's graduate school
without any form of financial aid.

Senior citizens can also enroll in graduate
courses. The university waives tuition fees for
Maryland residents who are 60 or older and re-

tired. These students are issued a Golden Iden-
tification Card, granting them access to univer-
sity libraries and other facilities. They register
during the first week of classes and are allowed
to take up to three courses.

Graduate students often serve as teaching as-
sistants to undergraduates at the University of
Maryland. TAs are paired with a professor in
their chosen field and help with researching,
teaching the class and grading papers. For many
large lectures, TAs also oversee discussion sec-
tions. Students in these lectures are split into
groups of about 20 students and are taught once
a week exclusively by the TA. These discussion
sections reinforce what students learned that
week while allowing the TA to get to know
members of the lecture individually. These
graduate students TAs also benefit from work-
ing closely with a university professor, many of
whom are published researchers and writers.

For many undergraduates in the School of
Architecture, their major is more a way of life
than a college concentration. Long nights in the
architecture studio crafting elaborate models is
routine for students, who often pull all-nighters
to finish a project or study tor an exam.

Architecture classes at the University or
Maryland combine a unique blend of math
and drawing; students must be creative in their
sketches while being precise in every measure-
ment and detail. Many professors in the archi-
tecture school encourage students to draw ex-
amples in addition to taking notes during class
to flex students' artistic muscles.

The School is located at the top of McKel-
din Mall, behind Anne Arundel Hall and next
to the Art-Sociology Building. Its distinct ap-
pearance— pointed roofs, a bridge leading to an
entrance — seems the perfect place for architec-
ture students to study. Its bottom floor houses a
studio for students, filled on a normal day with
models of sweeping buildings and quaint hous-
es that students built for class.

Classes for architecture students include
both CORE classes and classes dedicated to
their major, like History of Roman Architec-

ture and Visual C 'ommunication for architects.

Courses focus on the relationship between
drawing from life and architectural drawing,

the role or architectural drawing as a means to
develop and communicate ideas and other con
cepts.

Hie School is made up of undergraduate and
graduate programs, split into five departments:
architecture, urban studies and planning, his-
torical preservation, real estate development
and a Ph.D. program in Urban and Regional
Planning and Design.

The dean, David Cronath, is dedicated to pro-
pelling the School forward, crafting a mission
to "educate Architects, Planners, Preservation-
ists, Developers and the many allied stakehold-
ers whose work and scholarship focuses on the
quality of the built environment and promotes
social justice, cultural value, resource conserva-
tion and economic opportunitv," according to
the website.

The School's proximity to D.C. provides a
living classroom for students. Architecture stu-
dents often venture into D.C. to observe and
sketch the city for classes, an added bonus for
the program.

The College of Arts and Humanities houses
an astronomically large variety of liberal arts
majors ranging from foreign studies to English
to art to music to women's studies and many
more. Because of its wide range of options, for
students looking to express their creativity, the
College of Arts and Humanities is the place to
turn.

Along with these majors, a number of cer-
tificate programs are available as well. These in-
clude: Arabic Flagship scholar certificate, Asian
American studies, East Asian studies, Latin
American studies, Persian Flagship Scholar cer-
tificate and women's studies.

More than 4,000 undergraduates are enrolled
in the College, known as ARHU to students.
Despite this large number, the student-faculty
ratio at ARHU is a mere 13:1 — an added ad-
vantage to students who feel lost in a large uni-
versity. The school spans 12 buildings on cam-
pus.

As the home of a variety of multicultural
programs, ARHU is dedicated to preserving di-
versity in the school. According to the school's
diversity statement, which is available on the
website, "Our intention to better prepare stu-
dents for an increasingly diverse, multicultural,

and international society is reflected in all of
our work- literature, Language, and arts c urn*, u
la that examine the cultures of people through
out the world."

ARHU also sponsors the the Persian and
Arabic Flagship programs. Students take spe-
cialized language and culture classes within the
school and are sent to Tajikistan and Israel, re-
spectively, to study abroad free of charge. This
experience is invaluable to University of Mary-
land undergraduates.

In conjunction with the College of Educa-
tion, ARHU also co-sponsors the Chillum
Internship program. ARHU students gain ex-
perience teaching in a public classroom setting,
formulating lesson plans and working with stu-
dents. Undergraduates earn credit by partici-
pating in the program for one hour, two times a
week. Students must apply to this program.

On June 2 — mere months before the fall term
started — university officials appointed Bonnie-
Thornton Dill, the chair of the women's studies
department, as dean of ARHU. She has served
as both a professor and department chair for 20
years, and is an expert in race-gender relations,
specializing in black and Latina women's stud-
ies. Her term as dean will last two years.

The College of Information Studies — known
as the iSchool — is a graduate school in which
students work toward a master of library sci-
ence, a master of information management, a
master of science in human-computer interac-
tion, or a doctorate degree. Graduate students
can also work toward a dual-degree in history
and library science.

The university's iSchool is a member of a
national consortium of iSchools, which are of-
fered at more than 20 universities nationwide.
Founded in 2005, the consortium is centered
on technology and is aimed at preparing stu-
dents for the technology-driven 21st century.
Deans of the participating schools make up the
iCaucus, a governing body for the consortium.

Each year, the participating programs, in-
cluding the university's iSchool, meet for an
iConference as a way to network, share news
and learn of new innovations in the technology
field. Educators hope the iConference serves as
a tool for students to learn the skills needed for
a career in technology.

The iSchool's faculty has worked to develop
career paths for the students by clearly outlin-
ing the classes and activities needed for a career
in a variety of fields. These careers include aca-

demic librarian, business information special
ist, cataloger, health sciences librarian, nulexer
abstractor, information architect, law librarian,
ontologist/taxonomist, public librarian, spe-
cial librarian and youth services public librar-
ian. Courses in these fields are all available for
students to cross-reference when crafting their
graduate career.

Each student is paired with an adviser, who
guides the student through his or her chosen
program. While the iSchool is a small pro-
gram— only about 375 students are enrolled —
it also adds to the close-knit feel of the program.
Students meet with their advisers to ask for help
in choosing classes or guidance in fulfilling de-
gree requirements through the iSchool.

In addition to these career plans, the iSchool's
small faculty-student ratio of 1:12 allows stu-
dents to work closely with their professors. The
ISCHOOLDISCUSSION is another outlet
for students, serving as a discussion group for
the college. Students and professors can post
on the email listserv, discussing current events
and technological innovations. Many clubs are
offered in association with the iSchool, along
with a number of research projects used to en-
hance students' learning experiences.

The Philip Merrill College of Journalism
is housed in Knight Hall, a building that is
nearly double the size of the former journalism
building and is well equipped for any budding
journalist. The building houses the university's
broadcast, news/editorial and online journal-
ism departments, and was dedicated in April
2010 to much fanfare.

The university named the school after Philip
"Phil" Merrill, who owned a number of local
publications like The Capitol Magazine and the
Washingtonian. Merrill also served on a num-
ber of foreign policy assignments, including his
work as an assistant secretary-general of NATO

five years after donating $ 1 0 million to the jour-

Today, student journalists begin their careers
by taking introductory news writing and report-
ing classes, geared toward either print or broad-
cast-oriented journalism. Students are exposed
to beat reporting, interviewing sources and cre-
ating complex news stories almost immediately
after beginning their college careers — a benefit
according to many journalism majors.

Journalism majors also have access to Adobe

Suite, Final C ait and Other state oi the art mul-
timedia tools, designed to give students experi
ence working with professional grade software.
Students can check out Flip Cams, tripods,

cameras and Other tools for free through the
journalism school. Main students use these
tools for class assignments.

In addition to the three floors of classrooms
and computer labs, students can also use the
News Bubble on the first floor, a huh of activity
for journalism majors. Open 24 hours, students
can be found working on final projects, meet-
ing for group assignments or working on ma-
terial for other classes. Onlv journalism majors
may use the News Bubble, accessible by swiping
a student ID card.

Perhaps the College's greatest strength is its
faculty. The College is home to a number of
prestigious journalists, like Sandra Banisky, the
former managing editor of TJje Baltimore Sun,
Kevin Blackistone, a regular ESPN contributor,
and Haynes Johnson, a Pulitzer-Prize winning
journalist and former assistant managing editor
for The Washington Post, ensuring students have
access to professionals in their career field.

Health-minded University of Maryland un-
dergraduates can follow their passion through
the School of Public Health, which offers majors
in community health, family science and kine-
siology, as well as a variety of graduate degrees.
SPH is made up of six departments: behavioral
and community health; epidemiology and bio-
statistics; kinesiology; family science; health
services administration; and the Maryland In-
stitute for Applied Environmental Health. Ap-
proximately 1,700 undergraduates are enrolled
in the school.

The School, formerly named the College of
Health and Human Performance, was renamed
and re-configured in 2007, and is located in
the School of Public Health building next to
the Eppley Recreation Center. The dean of the
school, Robert S. Gold, came to the school in
2005, bringing his expertise in computer tech-
nology to the program.

SPH established a Student Service Center
to assist students with their studies. The center
is equipped with computers, tables and educa-
tional literature chosen specially for SPH stu-
dents, and is open during the school week.

Ihe School offers a number oi specialized
classes, like Epidemiology in the Media: Truth

or Fiction and Essentials of Public Health Biol
ogy: The Cell, the Individual and Disease.

SPH hosts the Annual School of Public
Health Research l)av each year, which is geared
toward showing off the Schools extensive re-
search. SPH displays poster presentations in
the morning, and delivers oral presentations in
the afternoon. The School gives an award to the
best for each type of presentation. The entire
university community is invited to attend.

The School is also home to Gymkana, a gym-
nastics act featuring high-flying performances
and intense acrobatics. Members pledge to live
an alcohol and substance-free lifestyle. This
summer, Gymkana competed on Americas Got
Talent, a nationwide talent show that is aired
on NBC.

Another program, Phi Alpha Epsilon, is an
honors society for community health, fam-
ily science, kinesiology and physical education
majors — an undergraduate must be nominated
by a professor or administrator in order to be
considered for membership.

Ihere's no doubt about it. Here at the University of Maryland, College Park we truly value our ac-
ademies. But we also take pride in helping students grow as a whole: academically, professionally,
and socially. The Division of Student Affairs provides services and programs that foster academic

success and promote student development to create a supportive and stimulating environment.
Ehe university also offers students plenty of opportunities to be involved on campus. For example,

ResLife and on-campus housing encourages students to socialize with peers, and the First Look

Fair gives students the chance to see and join a variety of student organizations. In this section
you'll see some of the ways that students can get involved and have fun on campus, from studying
abroad to spending time in the Adele H. Stamp Student Union to participating in living-learning

programs. Between the bars and restaurants on Route 1, McKeldin and other activities on cam-
pus, there is never a boring moment at the university.

The Gemstone program is a
very selective four-year multi-
disciplinary research program
run through the Honors Col-
lege. Dr. James Wallace, a pro-
fessor of mechanical engineer-
ing, conceived the idea for the
program.

In order to receive the Gem-
stone citation, students are re-
quired to take a rigorous course
load that includes one or two
one- to three-credit seminars
every semester. The program
is 18 credits total, which is the
equivalent of a minor on cam-
pus. Students in the program
are split into teams of eight to
14 people and they work to-
ward a team project at the end
of the program. A thesis is also
required for Gemstone.

Gemstone students are in-
vited to attend Gems Camp,
an overnight retreat in late
August for new students. This
allows students to get to know
the people that they will be
working with for the next four
years. During the first day,
campers have a chance to get
to know each other, and during
the second day, there is a team
service project.

One student is quoted talk-
ing about Gems Camp on the
website as saying, "Gems Camp
is a great introduction to the
people in the program. You
hang out with so many differ-
ent people, by necessity, but it's
really fun to meet new people.
If you keep an open mind, you
can find something to enjoy in

every activity. Since we go right
after we move in to our dorms,
it will make going back to them
feel like going home!"

Gemstone has many other
extracurricular activities, in-
cluding student council, sec-
tion leader opportunities in
Gemstone courses and various
social events. Gemstone holds
its own formal every winter.
There is also a Gemstone/Elli-
cott Service Committee.

The Gemstone/Ellicott

Service Committee works on
community service projects
through organizations like the
College Park Youth Service
Center, the Children's Devel-
opmental Clinic, the Compas-
sion Center, food shelters and
AIDS walk.

Frat Row. Homecoming Step Show. Greek Week. From the looks of all of these events, one thing
is for sure: the University of Maryland, College Park campus certainly has an active Greek life.
At the university, the Department of Fraternity and Sorority Life is dedicated to developing and
supporting the Greek community on campus. Even though the Greek community is extremely di-
verse, each organization is based on high values: service, scholarship, brotherhood and sisterhood

and many others. This Greek life section provides an overview of how these organizations exist
and function on the University of Maryland campus — from intake processes such as rush to hous-
ing on Fraternity Row to cultural and multicultural organizations to philanthropy and service,

Greek life has many facets.

Individual collegiate Greeks are part of a chapter, which is part of a university-level Greek council.
which is part of a national council. Complicated, right? The Greek community has these higher-authority
governing bodies in order to create a tighter-knit campus community.

The University of Maryland Greek community is divided into four councils: the Panhellenic Associa-
tion, the Interfraternity Council, the United Greek Council and the National Pan-Hellenic Council. These
organizations are "umbrella" organizations for other groups.

Within each community, members have the opportunity to reach out to other chapters for support and
guidance. The collegiate councils report back to their national counterparts to make sure the chapters are
staying on track, upholding values, working together and representing the organization well. Sometimes
that means these governing bodies must hand down punishments to individual chapters in order to main-
tain their status as values-based organizations. However, this is not the primary purpose of these groups.

For example, the Panhellenic Association makes decisions regarding the maximum number of women
each chapter should have. When that total continues to rise, PHA has the option to offer an "extension" to
other national Panhellenic chapters, meaning they can open a new chapter on campus, as Alpha Xi Delta
will be doing in fall 2012. Decisions such as these are made by the executive board and delegates from
each PHA sorority, who report their chapter's decisions and vote accordingly.

These groups also organize recruitment and make decisions that affect the entire community. Often, the
members of these governing bodies previously held leadership roles in their individual chapters.

"I wanted to join IFC after being very involved with my chapter, and to make a difference in the com-
munity. I had solved a lot of chapter problems and wanted to translate that to the entire community, and
be a part of something that was bigger than myself or my chapter," said senior government and politics
and international relations major Alex Guacci, the current vice president of risk management for the Inter-
fraternity Council.

Each council has specific rules and policies related to their national organizations, but they all work
together to plan important events, such as Greek week in the spring and Homecoming week in the fall.
Chapters from each council are also matched together and compete in competitions such as "Canstruc-
tion," where chapter members bring canned food goods to build a picture or sculpture related to their
team's theme. Other times, match-ups compete in flag football, kickball or volleyball games to bring
home the first-place trophy.

Being a part of these governing bodies is not simply about social events and planning; community
building is a key priority as well.

"I felt like there was this bigger opportunity to do things in the Greek community and I got a chance
to work with so many other people I wouldn't have known otherwise. We all pledge ourselves to pretty
similar values as Greek organizations and have this connection," said senior math and biology major
Priyanka Gokhale, who currently serves as the vice president of administrative affairs for the Panhellenic
Association.

Recruitment gives students the opportunity to join the Greek community and it occurs in the beginning of
either the fall or spring semester.

Men looking to join chapters of the Interfraternity Council have the opportunity to get to know brothers
during a two-week period each semester. Video game tournaments, basketball games and dinners show what
each brotherhood is like and provide the chance to see the organization. Men have the chance to pick and
choose which houses they want to visit and where they might return.

More importantly, these events give brothers the chance to see who they would like to invite back to their
house and who would fit well with their values. Eventually, the events become invite-only and men are cho-
sen for bids.

In the future, the Interfraternity Council will be adding a "house-tours" round, similar to what women in-
terested in Panhellenic spring recruitment must attend. This will give men a broader perspective on what the
Greek community has to offer and expand their options.

The spring recruitment process for women is more complex than simple brotherhood bonding. Women
have the option to participate in fall recruitment, which is nearly identical to that of the men's, but most wait
until the spring for formal recruitment.

The Panhellenic Association organizes a series of rounds for potential new members to meet the women
of each of the 14 chapters on the campus. Beginning with a house tour of each chapter house, the poten-
tial members learn a little about each sorority's values and personality. The next round— the philanthropy
round — affords ladies the opportunity to see how each chapter gives back to the community.

A third, more personal round, skit, gives potential new members a deeper look at their remaining chap-
ters' personalities and sisterhood.

Finally, women are invited back to up to three houses for a fourth round called preference. The preference
ceremony is the most sacred and ritualistic part of recruitment. Often, sorority women share touching stories
about sisterhood and what it really means to be a part of their organization.

After these two weekends of events, all the potential new members and sorority women can breathe. Bid
day then takes place and the women flock to the Memorial Chapel to finalize recruitment and meet their new
member classes. Adorned with colorful posters and bid-day T-shirts, the women of each chapter lead their
new members home for an evening of sisterhood bonding and introductions. The total number of women
in each new member class is determined by how many women stay in recruitment through the preference
round, divided by the number of chapters in the Panhellenic Association.

Formal recruitment for women can be extremely stressful, so some opt to participate in continuous open
recruitment throughout the fall, where any chapter can give bids until they reach their total. In this case, the
total is 103 women.

"I really liked the relaxed atmosphere of fall recruitment, it made getting to know my sisters that much
easier," said senior history major Sara Greenwell.

The recruitment process allows men and women alike to make friends with their potential new brothers
and sisters and determine what kinds of values they want to uphold throughout their college careers.

Joining a Greek organization gives students a multitude of new experiences and opportunities: the chance
o compete in Greek week, run for a leadership position, take a little brother or sister and of course, the op-
ion to live in a chapter house.

With a total of 22 Greek university-owned houses at the University of Maryland, each house offers a
mique twist to Greek living. Similar to dorm rooms, but with brighter walls and better decorated bathrooms,
iving in a fraternity or sorority house creates a comfortable atmosphere for brotherhood and sisterhood to
lourish.

Many decide to live in a chapter house in order to develop deeper bonds with other chapter members.

"I love living in the house because it's a great way to stay involved in your chapter and to get to know
ill of your sisters that you might not know so well otherwise," said senior supply chain management major
3onnie Butler.

Houses can hold varying amounts of people ranging from 30 to 60 members, and all members in good
standing are eligible to apply to live in the house. From presidential singles to four-man rooms, each house
las many different living options. Sorority women like to joke that living in the house exponentially enlarges
he size of their closet— one of the many perks of living with sisters.

The university chooses to renovate their properties when necessary, and this year, the Phi Sigma Sigma
tnd Alpha Phi sororities were temporarily relocated to the Alpha Xi Delta sorority house on Knox Road. Al-
)ha Xi Delta was formerly a member of the Panhellenic Association at the University of Maryland and, since
hey left campus, AZD has allowed six chapters to use their house during renovations.

The merger of Phi Sigma Sigma and Alpha Phi presented the Panhellenic community with a unique
;hance to strengthen community bonds, according to Panhellenic advisor Liz Brown. Next year, however,
\lpha Xi Delta will be returning to campus.

"The hope is that we will be bringing in a whole new demographic of women to help our community
,tow," said Brown.

Greek housing provides another important outlet to the campus community and allows the students in-
/olved to gain new experiences in their undergraduate years while making lasting friendships. \ 29

Brotherhood and sisterhood is about more than
simply joining an organization. Joining a Greek or-
ganization pushes members to compete against other
chapters, reinforce friendly ties with one another and
serve a greater purpose.

Every year, Homecoming week is an important
time for the Greek community. For one week, one
Panhellenic chapter is partnered with up to three In-
terfraternity Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council
and United Greek Council chapters. The competition
begins the minute pairs are made in September.

Through synchronized skit dances, backdrop paint-
ing, Olympic trials and a day of service, the pairs give
their all to this one week. The glory of winning the
Homecoming gold trophy keeps everyone's spirits
high and encourages each matchup to mix and mingle
while competing against other chapters.

Other chapter-based events throughout the year help
fraternity and sorority members stay focused on val-
ues, rituals and relationships within the chapter.

"I remember my new member sleepover was really
sxciting because we were all new to the chapter, and
we were all about to become a part of something much
larger than ourselves. You don't necessarily have
many moments like that [in your life] ," said senior
criminology major Jenny Kline.

Chapters also go on field trips to reinforce their
brother and sisterhood bonds. At the end of each se-
mester, fraternities such as Kappa Sigma, Delta Sigma
Phi and Sigma Chi host weekends away at the beach
or mountains. Sororities, on the other hand, host for-
mals, which are generally in Washington, D.C. These
events allow members a chance to relax and take a
date somewhere out of the ordinary College Park
scene.

With a variety of philanthropic and social events,
brotherhood and sisterhood bonding becomes easy as
members spend more and more time together.

"As a college student, it's really easy to get caught
up in your own life, but sisterhood events give you
a chance to step away from just yourself and be in-
volved in your sisters' lives and be a part of something
bigger," said senior English and biology major Alex
Lehukey.

Besides the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Association social organizations, cultural fraterni-
ties and sororities also thrive on campus. The National Pan-Hellenic Council and the United Greek Council
function to oversee the historically African American (NPHC) and cultural (UGC) Greek organizations at
the University of Maryland.

Much like the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Association, these organizations participate in
campus events such as Homecoming and Greek weeks, as well as dedicate themselves to service and philan-
thropic work.

Because these organizations are community and culturally based, most of their service activities are "cen-
tered around uplifting their respective communities," according to Kevin Pitts, the NPHC and UGC advisor.

Senior criminal justice major Purra Mookin of the Delta Phi Omega sorority truly enjoys the community
aspect of being a part of UGC.

"Delta Phi Omega definitely put me into contact with a lot of new people, people who were different but
were brought together by different values. It's a great networking opportunity too," said Mookin.

These Greek communities differ from the social fraternities and sororities in that they do not have hous-
ing on campus designated for their organizations. Due to their smaller numbers, the campus housing options
are not yet able to support NPHC and UGC chapters, but preliminary talks have begun with the university to
possibly secure housing in the future.

Additionally, cultural fraternities and sororities have a different membership process than the IFC or
PHA. Each chapter of the National Pan-Hellenic Council hosts interest meetings at the beginning of each
semester and can be voted upon by the chapter members.

If selected, potential members then have the opportunity to submit applications to the corresponding
national organization and then the process becomes secretive. New members are not known until they are
presented to the community in a "Coming Out Show" where they are "unmasked" to the campus. Similarly,
United Greek Council chapters hold interest meetings but some do specific recruitment activities and rush
events as well.

Becoming a part of a community and values based Greek organization requires time, strong interest and
dedication, but as Mookin pointed out, the new member process is worth the wait.

As values-based organizations, fraternities and sororities on the campus strive to give back to the
local community and beyond. From athletic competitions to barbecues, each chapter brings a unique
perspective to the Greek community's philanthropic efforts.

Organizations that the Greek community supports can be relatively small or nationally known. The
Sigma Chi fraternity recently held their first annual "Derby Days," a weeklong competition to raise
money for the Children's Miracle Network. By encouraging sororities to compete in whimsical athlet-
ic events, craft creative banners advertising the cause and hosting Kap Slap— a DJ for Fratmusic.com
for a performance— they raised $10,000 for the Children's Miracle Network.

"Hosting our first Derby Days was a great way to go out as a senior and hopefully I feel it will be-
come a longstanding tradition at the University of Maryland," senior marketing and operations man-
agement major Alex McCord said.

The event started at the University of California, Berkley Sigma Chi chapter as early as 1933, but
the philanthropic element was added during the 1960s. As of 2010, the Sigma Chi fraternity has raised
over $6 million nationally for the Children's Miracle Network charities.

Sororities are involved in similar weeklong events as well. In October, during "KD Cares Week,"
the Kappa Delta sorority hosted a group of Girl Scouts— one of their four philanthropies— for a
"Friends Don't Bully" event to encourage young girls to put an end to the problem. Additionally, the
sisters of Kappa Delta held an event where they could make pillowcases to donate to the Children's
Hospital in D.C. in order to bring a smile to patients' faces.

Other fraternities and sororities also host one-day annual events to support their causes. The Kappa
Alpha Order fraternity hosted their third annual "Breastfest of Champions" this year where the pur-
chase of a T-shirt gained access to a barbecue dinner at the house. Events such as these allow the chap-
ter to not only raise money for a great cause, but to connect with the community on emotional issues.

The "Breastfest of Champions" featured a wall where chapter members and visitors could sign the
name of someone who is battling, has survived or has lost the fight against cancer. All of the proceeds
raised benefited Hearts for Cancer, an organization dedicated to breast cancer research. In November
201 1 , Kappa Alpha Order successfully raised over $27,000 for the cause.

This year, the Panhellenic community decided to support one additional philanthropy as a whole:
the Circle of Sisterhood. Founded by Ginny Carroll, an Alpha Xi Delta alumna, the organization aims
to unite sorority women to improve educational opportunities for women and girls worldwide.

Senior math and biology major Priyanka Gokhale felt inspired by the book Half the Sky and began
to look into the Circle of Sisterhood organization. Carroll offered to visit the campus and serve as the
Panhellenic Association's fall speaker. In the weeks leading up to this event, the university's Panhel-
lenic community raised $4,300, the largest campus contribution to date. This money will fund efforts
such as providing school fees, workbooks, school uniforms and other school supplies to 38 girls in
Tanzania. The Panhellenic community also plans to continually support Circle of Sisterhood in the
future and is even looking into the possibility of international service trips beginning in summer 2012.

This section is for the seniors — our faces, names and majors grace the pages and
are a significant part of the story of our time here.

mmm

This yearbook covers academics, student life, senior portraits, the years we spent here and athletics, but the

history of the school is also part of the story. That's why a timeline runs throughout this section, highlighting

important events in the University of Maryland's history. From the chartering of the Maryland Agricultural

College to national championships, this timeline highlights how the school was founded to

athletic events to natural disasters to the establishment of various organizations. Obviously, this timeline

is nowhere near comprehensive, but it does focus on some important moments. So, while you're looking

through the portraits or trying to find your face and name, take a moment to look at how we got here and

what happened along the way.

Note: Most of the dates and events from this timeline are from the University of Maryland's Timeline {http://

A fire at the Thanksgiving

Dance destroys every dorm,

half of the classrooms and

offices and most of the college's

records. Morrill Hall was left

standing. There were no

injuries or deaths.

The state of Maryland takes full

control of the college during
this year and changes the name
to the Maryland State College.

The first female students also
enroll in 1916.

During this year, the college is
organized into seven schools:
agriculture, engineering, arts

and sciences, chemistry,

education, home economics

and the Graduate School.

A woman also receives a

bachelor's degree from the

college for the first time in

1919.

About this section:

By: Allyson Williams
Managing Editor

Hey seniors! Remember the first time you saw Testudo do a back flip? Remember vour first Uni-
versity of Maryland football game when Special K held up the "Keys Please" sign? Or what about
Election Night 2008? This section will review the past four years, highlighting important events
that happened locally, on campus or on a national or global level. It will focus on everything that
made our time at the University of Maryland so memorable. Each article will cover one academic
year at a time. It's finally 2012, and it's time for us to move on from our lives here at College Park,
but before we go, let's take a minute and look back at all we have experienced.

1008-2009: National and World News

After a whirlwind summer
rilled with Sex and the City
movie quotes and anecdotes
about Tina Fey's Sarah Palin
impression, incoming fresh-
men ventured to College Park
to begin their college careers.

In early September, shortly
after the school year started,
Hurricane Ike made landfall
in Cuba. It struck once as a
Category 4 storm and again as
Category 1 , before moving on
to Texas as a Category 2. The
hurricane became the costliest
hurricane to ever hit Cuba and
the second-costliest hurricane
to hit the U.S. since Hurricane

Katrina.

Despite the gloomy weather,
"hope" was on the horizon — or
at least in the presidential cam-
paigns. The 2008 presidential
race was certainly a memorable
one, from Hillary Clinton's
run for president to the coun-
try's fascination with Sarah Pa-
lin. The Democratic candidate,
Barack Obama, reached out to
youth and promised change. As
a result, he was elected as the
nation's 44th president Nov. 4,
and he was inaugurated Jan. 20
as the nation's first black presi-
dent.

On Jan. 15, 2009— five days

before President Obama's his-
toric inauguration — US Air-
ways Flight 1 549 was forced to
make an emergency landing on
the Hudson River. Pilot Ches-
ley Burnett "Sully" Sullenberg-
er III became a national hero
after he was able to safely land
the plane and save the lives of
everyone on board.

Unfortunately, those on
board Air France Flight 447
were not as lucky, as all 228
people aboard were tragically
killed when the Airbus plunged
in to the Atlantic Ocean on
May 31, 2009.

2008-1009: Local and Campus News

In 2008, the university went
green — or at least by the Amer-
ican Public Gardens Associa-
tion's standards. The associa-
tion approved the University
of Maryland's application and
named it an arboretum and
botanical garden in 2008.

As for athletics, three uni-
versity teams won the national
championship in 2008. Men's
soccer won the national cham-
pionship after defeating North
Carolina 1-0. The university's
field hockey team also won
the national championship in
2008, topping Wake Forest 4-2.
Competitive cheer claimed the
national title as well.

Article by Sarah Siguenza
Reflections Section Editor

Other teams also had im-
pressive performances. The
football team celebrated a 42-
35 win in Roady's Humanitar-
ian Bowl. Men's lacrosse made
it to the NCAA quarterfinals,
while women's lacrosse made it
to the Sweet Sixteen. The men's
basketball team finished 21-14
and made it to the second round
in the NCAA tournament.
Additionally, the men's basket-
ball team was the only team to
beat both national champion-
ship finalists — North Carolina
and Michigan State — during
the 2008-2009 season. Mean-
while, the women's basketball
team enjoyed a spectacular sea-

son, finishing 3 1-5.

In other news, The Dia-
monclback placed second in the
nation and first in the region
for the Society of Professional
Journalists Mark of Excellence
Awards for the 2008-2009
school year.

The university also looked
to improve its living-learning
programs by adding the Digi-
tal Cultures and Creativity
program.

Finally, as always, Route 1
remained a favorite among
students, with Santa Fe Cafe,
Cornerstone Grill & Loft, RJ
Bentley's and the Thirstv Turtle
open for business at the time.

Students who intern in or
around Washington most like-
ly know the headaches that the
Metro can cause, but no one was
prepared for the horrific colli-
sion on June 22, 2009, shortly
after the 2008-2009 school year
ended and just two months
before the next academic year
began. Nine people were killed
and 80 were injured when two
trains collided between the Ta-
koma and Fort Totten stations
on the Red Line. The crash was
and is Metro's deadliest crash
to date.

Another tragedy struck only
three days later when Michael
Jackson, the King of Pop, died
of cardiac arrest in his Califor-
nia home. Fans and celebrities

Reflections Section Editor

alike were shocked at the sud-
den death of the 50-year-old
legend.

Despite the sadness, there
was also something to look
forward to: the Statue of Lib-
erty's crown was reopened to
visitors on July 4, 2009 for the
first time since 9/11.

The next day, there was a
celebration of another kind
when Roger Federer won his
record-breaking 15th tennis
Grand Slam after defeating
Andy Roddick at Wimbledon.
Also in the sports world, news
broke around Thanksgiving
Day 2009 of Tiger Woods' car
accident and many mistresses.

The new year started unfor-
tunately for Haiti when a cata-

strophic 7.0 magnitude earth-
quake struck the country Jan.
12, 2010. It killed an estimated
316,000 people and left many
more injured or homeless.

While the world sought to
bring hope to Haitians, a city
that had experienced some-
what similar devastation after
Katrina received a boost of
their own: the New Orleans
Saints beat the Indianapolis
Colts in Super Bowl XLIV.

Sadly, only two months later
the area suffered from the BP
oil spill, in which the Deep wa-
ter Horizon exploded, killing
1 1 men, injuring others and
spilling millions of barrels of
oil into the water.

2009-2010: Local and Campus News

Many local and campus
memories were made during
the 2009-2010 academic year.

The Terps faced a rough
football season, ending with a
2-10 record under coach Ralph
Friedgen. Luckily, the universi-
ty's soccer program had a more
impressive performance. The
men's soccer team made it to
the NCAA quarterfinals be-
fore losing to Virginia. Mean-
while, women's soccer made
it to the Sweet 16. The field
hockey team also had an im-
pressive season but lost 3-2 in
a heartbreaker against North
Carolina in the Final Four.
Women's lacrosse made it to
the second round of the ACC
Championship, and men's bas-

Reflections Section Editor

ketball scored big under ACC
Coach of the Year Gary Wil-
liams and with ACC Player of
the Year Greivis Vasquez. The
team had a 24-9 season, culmi-
nating with a win against rival
Duke University, leading to ri-
ots on Route 1 . The team went
on to the NCAA tournament,
only to suffer a devastating
buzzer-beater loss to Michigan
State.

Even more memorable than
the post-Duke celebration is
something that happened a bit
earlier in the semester: "Snow-
pocalypse." Massive snowfalls
led to a day of canceled exams
in the fall semester, and more
snow led to about a week of
canceled classes in February.

Overall, 54. 9 inches were re-
corded in the area that winter,
breaking all previous records.

In other news, the Philip
Merrill College of Journalism
celebrated a new home on cam-
pus when the high-tech, green
Knight Hall was dedicated in
April.

Later that semester, the
iconic Santa Fe closed its doors
in May 2010 after a longtime
battle with the city of College
Park. The recently renovated
bar did not have the sprinkler
system that the city required
and shut down for good May
22, much to the dismay of stu-
dents. The bar had been a pop-
ular spot for live music.

255

While students were on
summer break, many were riv-
eted by the seemingly never-
ending tennis match between
John Isner and Nicolas Mahut
at Wimbledon. The two made
history when their match
stretched over three days,
which Isner finally won.

Unlike Isner, Delaware's
Christine O'Donnell had a
harder time winning over fans.
The Republican ran for Senate
in 2010 and might have had a
more victorious result had she
not campaigned under the ta-
gline, "I'm not a witch."

On a grander scale, the world
celebrated when all 33 min-
ers from the Chilean mining
disaster were rescued Oct. 13,
2010 after spending 69 days
underground.

Two weeks later, Charlie
Sheen stole the spotlight when
he was found under the influ-
ence of cocaine with a paid
escort. His bizarre downward
spiral followed.

Michaele Salahi and her hus-
band, Tareq, made news when
the couple crashed a State Din-
ner on Nov. 24.

Tragedy occurred Jan. 8,
201 1, when a man opened fire
at a Safeway in Arizona, kill-
ing six and wounding 13. Rep.
Gabrielle GifFords was among
those injured, leaving her to
recover from a gunshot wound
to the head.

The new year also saw the
beginnings of international
uprisings, from the Egyptian
protests that eventually over-
threw leader Hosni Mubarak

to the bloody Libyan battle.

Soon, the U.S. had to turn its
attention to the South, which
was hit with a massive tornado
outbreak that began April 25
and ended with a destructive
tornado in Joplin, Mo.

Despite the sadness of the
tornado outbreak in the South,
the world turned its attention
to England on April 29 to
watch the wedding of Prince
William and Kate Middleton.

America had another rea-
son to celebrate — or at least
some peace of mind — when
President Obama announced
in early May that Osama bin
Laden had been killed.

After 25 years and countless
interviews, Oprah Winfrey
hosted her final show May 25.

256

The 2010-2011 academic
year featured many changes.

The school year began with
the inauguration of: a new
university president, Wallace
Loh.

In October, students mourn-
ed Thirsty Turtle's closing after
a stabbing outside of the estab-
lishment trigged an underage
drinking investigation.

Also in October, students
flooded the National Mall to
attend Jon Stewart and Ste-
phen Colberts Rally to Re-
store Sanity and/or Fear.

On the field, the Terrapins
made an impressive display
as well. The university's men's
soccer team won 19 games in
the season and made it to the
Elite Eight before losing to
Michigan in the quarterfinals

Reflections Section Editor

after two overtimes. The field
hockey team became national
champions after beating North
Carolina 3-2 in a more success-
ful double overtime.

The football team turned
their program around and
ended with nine victories and
only four losses. The team fin-
ished the season at the Mili-
tary Bowl, where it beat East
Carolina University 51-20.
Head coach Ralph Friedgen
was named ACC Coach of the
Year, but after 1 0 years and sev-
en bowl games, Friedgen was
replaced with the University
of Connecticut's head coach
Randy Edsall.

In another change to the
team, Torrey Smith decided to
enter the 201 1 NFL Draft and
ultimately became a Baltimore

Raven after being selected in
the second round.

Changes occurred for mens
basketball as well. After a 19- 14
regular season and no postsea-
son for the team, beloved coach
Garv Williams announced that
he was retiring. The news hit
fans hard, who grieved the end
of the "Garyland" era. Making
matters more difficult for bas-
ketball fans, Jordan Williams
decided to forgo his junior sea-
son to enter the NBA Draft.
He was selected in the second
round by the New Jersey Nets.

In other news, students
ended the year with the annual
Art Attack concert, which fea-
tured Nelly. Although the con-
cert was postponed because of
a storm, the show eventually
went on.

257

lO I I -Present: National and World News

The summer before the
2011-2012 academic year
was certainly eventful. In fact,
many events happened in July
alone.

The Atlantis launched July 8,
which marked the final flight
of the space shuttle program. A
day later, South Sudan success-
fully seceded from Sudan and
became recognized as an inde-
pendent state. Also in July, pop-
ular British newspaper News of
the World was scandalized by a
phone-hacking scandal that in-
volved a young murder victim
and countless celebrities. The
paper ceased publication July
10.

While nations reeled from
the scandal, Neptune reeled
around the Earth, completing
its first orbit since its discovery

in 1846.

Meanwhile, the final Harry
Potter installment, Harry Pot-
ter and the Deathly Hallows:
Part Two hit the theaters and
left many wand-bearing mug-
gles with an array of emotions.

Only a week later, however,
emotions went to the victims
of the two Norway terror at-
tacks that left many dead.

In August, the Washington
area experienced a shock after
a 5.8 magnitude earthquake
originated in Virginia.

Then, the Occupy Wall
Street movement began Sept.
17 in New York, sparking pro-
tests against corporate greed in
cities worldwide.

Tliree days later brought a
different kind of change in pol-
icy when "Don't ask, don't tell"

was repealed, allowing gays and
lesbians to serve openly in the
military for the first time.

In October, another area ex-
perienced change when former
oppressive leader Muammar
Gaddafi was killed.

In December the U.S. for-
mally ended the war in Iraq.

So far, 2012 is off to an in-
teresting start. Those who fol-
low celebrity news were capti-
vated by the birth of Beyonce
and Jay-Z's daughter, Blue Ivy
Carter on Jan. 7. Those who
follow politics have a presiden-
tial election year to look for-
ward to. And finally, those who
believe in the Mayan calendar
will also have an interesting
year, as the Mayans predicted
the world would end Dec. 21,
2012.

258

201 I -Present: Local and Campus News

So far, the 20 1 1 -20 1 2 school
year is off to an exciting start.

With new men in charge on
both Capital One Field and in
Comcast Center, the athletic
program has certainly been in
the news. The academic year be-
gan with the widely publicized
unveiling of the football team's
new Under Armour uniforms.
The flag-inspired "Maryland
Pride" uniforms sparked a con-
troversy: some claimed that
they were atrocious while oth-
ers adored them. Even profes-
sional athletes and stars chimed
in with their opinions. How-
ever, when the team stormed
onto the field in the uniforms
in the opening game against

proval. The win against the
Hurricanes brought false hope
to College Park; the team fin-
ished the year with a 2-10 re-
cord, with the only other win
against Towson University.

There was more success on
other fields however, as the
men's soccer team won 14
games before losing in the third
round of the Elite Eight to Lou-
isville, and the women's team
ended their season at the Sweet
16. Women's field hockey once
again claimed the national title
when they beat North Caro-
lina in overtime 3-2.

So far in the men's basket-
ball season, the team has been
exceeding expectations under
head coach Mark Turgeon. The
women's basketball team is also
highly ranked.

In social news, comedian

About this section:

By: Allyson Williams
Managing Editor

Let's GOOOOOO Maryland! This has certainly been a controversial year for University of
Maryland athletics. There have been some new arrivals here at the university, including new foot-
ball head coach Randy Edsall and new men's basketball head coach Mark Turgeon, who have each
brought a whole new face to the Terps. In addition, in November university president Wallace
Loh announced eight sports teams will be discontinued effective June 30, 2012 unless they raise
sufficient hinds. These sports include men's cross country, indoor track, outdoor track, tennis and
swimming and diving, as well as the women's swimming and diving, acrobatics and tumbling and
water polo teams. This section will take a look at each of the sports teams here at the university,
because one thing is for certain: through all the good and bad, this school has spirit.

Coach Erik Bakich arrived in College Park
from Vanderbilt University two years ago hell-
bent on transforming the Terrapins baseball
team from cellar-dwellers into powerful ACC
contenders once again.

Bakich has already changed the face of the
program. The Terps have added turf to the Ship-
ley Field infield, built an indoor facility to take
batting practice in the cold offseason months
and worked to bring some of the best local tal-
ent to College Park to help turn things around.

Despite those efforts, though, the Terps still
find themselves right where they were before
Bakich took over: at the bottom of the ACC
and out of the national conversation. The team
finished the season at just 21-35 and won only
five of 30 games on their ACC schedule.

It's a shame considering the promise that
seemed to be surrounding the team during their
first series of the year when they headed down
to Austin, Texas for a four-game set with No.
6 Texas. The Terps were beaten handily in the
opener but the following day the team shocked
the college baseball world with a win over the
Longhorns. Senior Tomo Delp led the way for
the Terps with a three-run homer in the first
and 6-foot-8 pitcher senior David Carroll — a
transfer from Western Nevada — was dominant

in his first start for the Terps.

That was about the furthest the Terps' hap- B

piness would go for the season, however. The ^

Longhorns won the remaining two games of n

the series, and the Terps were never able to find &

a true rhythm as they headed into a truly daunt- ^

ing ACC slate. As has become customary for £

the team, they were easily handled by much of ft

the ACC's upper echelon and failed to qualify ^

for the ACC Tournament for the sixth straight n

season.

But while they'll have to deal with the grad-
uation of long-time staples of the lineup like
shortstop Alfredo Rodriguez and infielder Rvan
Holland, it appears that Bakich finally has the
Terps back on the road to relevance. With tal-
ented underclassmen returning like outfielder
sophomore Charlie White and first baseman
sophomore Tim Kiene, it looks like the Terps
may be well on the road to competing in the
ACC once again. And with Bakich's reputation
as a top-tier recruiter finally starting to show-
its head, don't be surprised if the Terps begin
making some noise in the ACC in the coming
seasons, starting this year, when they'll tune up
for their conference slate with an early series at
UCLA.

While the Terps didn't qualify as a team for
the NCAA Championships, a strong season for
both programs that ended in very respectable
showings at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional
Championships is nothing to scoff at.

Led by all-region freshman Kikanae Punyua,
the men's team had an up-and-down year that
ended in a ninth-place finish at the NCAA
Mid-Atlantic Regionals, which was hosted by
the University of Maryland - Eastern Shore.
The Terps won the Blue and Gold invitational,
hosted by Delaware, in mid-October and also
notched top- 1 0 finishes at the Mount St. Mary's
Duals and the Navy Invitational. A disappoint-
ing performance at the ACC Championships in
Clemson, S.C., left the Terps in eighth place out
of 1 2 teams in the strong conference and earned
them a nod to the Regionals in early November.
Punyua finished 20th overall in the region to
earn all-Region honors, and the efforts of Tyler
Stump, Nick Regan, Noam Neeman and Craig
Morgan helped the Terps place ninth in the 25-
team race.

On the women's side, the Terps enjoyed simi-
larly inconsistent results. Led by Julie Fricke —
whose individual exploits earned her all-Region
status and a trip to the NCAA Championships

in Indiana — the Terps had three top- 10 fin-
ishes in their regular season before heading to
Clemson for the ACC Championships. Like
the men, the Lady Terps finished eighth at the
ACC Championships. Fricke finished in 13th
place overall to pace the women's team, and a
strong showing from senior Ashley Cromartie
and freshman Myah Hicks helped propel the
team to victory.

Fricke again led the Terps in the NCAA
Mid- Atlantic Regionals, finishing 13th overall
to pace the Terps and earn herself a trip to the
NCAA National Championship, where she fin-
ished in 150th place. Cromartie, Bridget Nolan
and Halsey Sinclair rounded out the scoring for
the Terps at the regionals.

But while the women's team — many of whom
also compete in track and field — moved for-
ward toward the next season, the men's squad
received some disturbing news: they were one
of eight programs that would be cut in light of
the athletics department's continued struggle
with debt. It's not out of the realm of possibili-
ties that the team could put together the neces-
sary funds to keep their program alive, but as of
now their future is unknown.

Head coach John Tillman's first season on
the sideline for the storied Terrapins men's la-
crosse squad wasn't smooth the entire way, but
any ups-and-downs can be forgotten thanks to
a national championship appearance.

After some struggles in the regular season,
including disappointing losses to No. 8 North
Carolina, No. 19 Duke and No. 3 Johns Hop-
kins, the Terps found the form that led them to
wins over such storied programs as No. 4 Vir-
ginia in the regular season as they entered post-
season play.

Behind Tillman, formerly a coach at Navy
and Harvard, the Terps walked into the ACC
Tournament with a rematch against North Car-
olina in the semifinals. After falling behind 6-2
going into the fourth quarter, the Terps refused
to go quietly in the semifinals, and senior Grant
Catalino's nifty behind-the-back shot complet-
ed a wild fourth-quarter comeback and sent the
Terps into the ACC title game with a 7-6 win.

They would get a chance to avenge their
March loss to the Blue Devils in the ACC title
game, where the Terps once again had to come
from behind to secure the victory. Duke jumped
out to an early 2-0 lead, but the Terps respond-
ed. Behind senior Ryan Young's game-winning
goal, the Terps climbed back to beat Duke, 1 1 -9,
to secure their first ACC Championship since
2005 and their fourth overall ACC title.

From there, the Terps had one final tune-up

before the NCAA Tournament began when
they hosted No. 17 Colgate on Senior Day in
early May. Unfortunately, the Terps couldn't
find the same intensity they had in the ACC
Tournament and suffered an unsightly 10-8
victory to Colgate in their final game of the
regular season.

That didn't derail the Terps heading into the
national tournament, though. They opened
their march to the title game with another win,
this time a 13-6 drubbing of the Tar Heels.
Then, the Terps met up with Syracuse at Gillette
Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., where a back-
and-forth game ended with a strike by Catalino
late in the first overtime session to propel the
Terps into the Final Four for the first time since
2006.

With the advantage of a local crowd at Balti-
more's M&T Bank Stadium, the Terps met up
with No. 5 Duke for the third time that year
in the national semifinal. Behind a stifling de-
fensive effort and a hat trick by Catalino, the
Terps moved on to face Virginia in the national
championship with a 9-4 victory.

That's where the magic ran out for the Terps,
as a balanced Virginia attack claimed the na-
tional title after a 9-7 win. But with a slew of
young talent and a coach that knows a thing or
two about winning, the Terps will be in the mix
for the 2012 season and years to come.

For the second straight season, the 201 1 Ter-
rapins softball team rode the powerful right arm
of senior pitcher Kerry Hickey to the NCAA
Tournament. Hickey threw her seventh career
no-hitter in a midseason win over Florida State,
and along with the efforts ofVangie Galindo —
whose 70 regular season hits broke the program's
single season record — and the work of Hickey's
senior classmates Marisha Branson, Lauren Gh-
ent, Marybeth Herrick and Brittany Murray, the
Terps were able to finish their regular season at
38-16, including 12-7 in ACC play.

Along the way, the Terps took series wins
against such ACC rivals as Florida State and
Virginia Tech en route to a third-place finish in
the conference. In the first round of the ACC
Tournament, the third-seeded Terps snuck past
sixth-seeded N.C. State in Atlanta. The Terps
headed into the seventh and final inning with
the Wolfpack knotted in a 3-3 tie when pinch
hitter Ghent stepped into the batter's box. Gh-
ent was hit by a pitch which earned her a trip
to first base and then sophomore Sara Acosta
bunted a single. Galindo popped a single over
the shortstop's head, loading the bases for All-
ACC third baseman Bree Hanafin, who drove
a single to left field to give the Terps a walk-off

win and a trip to the next round.

In the next round, though, the Terps faltered,
falling to North Carolina, 703, despite a 3-for-
3 day by Acosta.

Despite that loss, the Terps marched into
the NCAA Tournament with confidence. And
with the ACC's Pitcher of the Year in Hickey
at their disposal, they had every right to be. The
Terps hosted the NCAA Regional, which wel-
comed their first round opponent East Caro-
lina as well as Baylor and Lehigh to Robert E.
Taylor Stadium to square off in first and second
round action. Unfortunately for the Terps, their
first round loss to the Pirates proved to be too
much of a hole for them. They dropped their
opener, then beat Lehigh the following day to
advance in the loser's bracket, only to lose for
the second time in as many days to a hot East
Carolina team.

While the Terps will bring plenty of talent
back on their roster for the 2012 season, they'll
have to deal with the graduation of Hickey, who
had been the centerpiece of the roster for the
past four seasons. Still, the Terps have plenty of
young talent at their disposal and should once
again be in the winning mix in the ACC.

The Terrapins men's and women's tennis
teams were tired of losing, so before the 2010
season they brought in highly-touted coaches
Kyle Spencer and Howard Joffe to negotiate
the men's and women's teams' respective turn-
arounds.

While Joffe has since left his job at the helm
of the women's team, the goals for each pro-
gram have been reached. The men's team had
their most successful season ever, earning their
first-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament since
the tournament began in 1978. Led by Maros
Horny, a Slovakia-born junior who joined the
Terps after transferring from Baylor, and return-
ing stars Sergio Wyss, Tommy Laine and Jesse
Kiuru, the Terps found themselves ranked in the
top-75 nationally for much of the season. They
earned a win over nationally-ranked William &:
Mary in February and earned three ACC victo-
ries— one over No. 48 Clemson — just one year
after going winless in conference play.

That regular season success yielded their big-
gest win in 22 years when the Terps knocked off
Florida State in the ACC Championship. Led
by singles victories by Kiuru, John Collins and
Andy Magee, the Terps earned their first win at
the ACC Tournament since 1989.

That win set the Terps up for a matchup with
No. 1 Virginia in the ACC quarterfinals where
they ultimately fell. However, their impressive

T
I

season earned them a No. 41 national ranking
and a date in the NCAA Tournament. They
knocked oft No. 29 Michigan in the first round
of the tournament behind strong singles perfor-
mances from Wyss and Magee, and while they
ultimately were swept by Duke in the second
round, the season was a rousing success.

Similarly, the women's team had their most
successful year in recent memory. Behind the
play of All-ACC player Cristina Sanchez-
Quintanar, the Terps went 13-8 and 3-8 in ■
ACC play and climbed their way as high as J
No. 30 in the country. And while the Terps ^
were unable to advance in either the ACC
Tournament — where they lost to Georgia
Tech — or the NCAA Tournament — where
they fell to Wishington — it was a huge turn-
around for the team. Sanchez- Quintanar and
freshman Jordaan Sanford earned invitations
to the NCAA individual tournaments, where
the two played as a doubles pair and Sanchez-
Quintanar competed individually. They were
each eliminated in the second round of the re-
spective tournaments, but there's no doubt the
women's program is here to stay.

Unfortunately, the same can't be said for
the men, who will likelv be entering their final
season as a program in 2012 after being one of
eight teams cut by university president Wallace
Loh.

Many believed that Andrew Valmon, the
coach of the track and field team, was a great
coach, but that was further proven when — in
the midst of a successful year for the Terps —
he was named as a coach for the U.S. Olympic
team.

Behind the efforts of Kiani Profit and Dwight
Barbiasz — the two Terps invited to the NCAA
Indoor Track and Field Championships — the
Terps enjoyed a successful indoor season. Profit
and Barbiasz carried that success into the NCAA
Championships, where Profit blew away her own
school record in the pentathlon. She finished in
a tie for second place in the multi-event. On the
male side, Barbiasz had a similarly impressive
showing at the NCAA Championships in Col-
lege Station, Texas, clearing 7 feet, two-and-a-
half inches to tie for fourth place in the men's
high jump. He was one of seven competitors to
clear that height but finished in fourth by virtue
of fewer misses than other competitors.

The Terps kept on rolling into the outdoor
track season, where a solid campaign culmi-
nated in the ACC Championships in Durham,
N.C. While there, Kristen Batts took home the

women's discus title to earn the Terps' first ever
Outdoor Track and Field Championships indi-
vidual title. Similarly, Barbiasz took home the
ACC title on the men's side in the high jump.
Batts, Barbaisz and Amina Smith all qualified
for the NCAA preliminaries, where Barbiasz
was the only Terp to advance to the nationals.

Barbiasz earned All-America honors at the
event, which was held in Des Moines, Iowa,
with a fifth-place finish at the event.

As the Terps prepared to enter another sea-
son and hoped to improve the results from the
season before, they took a serious hit when uni-
versity president Wallace Loh announced that
the men's track and field program was going to
be among the eight teams cut to help augment
the debt the athletics department is trapped
under. Unless the team raises enough money,
the men's program could very well be entering
its final season for the Terps, putting the two
programs in a unique position. Regardless of it
being just another season for the Terps' women
or perhaps the last season for the men's team,
they'll be looking to continue to build on what
has been a successful tenure under Valmon.

Thanks to a potent offensive attack led by the
likes of Alison Campbell (89 points), Ally Beck
(68 points) and Katie Ermakova (57 points),
the Terrapins water polo team was able to stay
above .500 for the majority of the 2011 sea-
son and atop the CWPA en route to a CWPA
championship.

The Terps' season began with a tall order,
as they faced off with powerhouses UC Irvine
and UC San Diego in the Triton Invitational
in February. They were unable to defeat either
Irvine or San Diego, but split the other two
games against Sonoma State and Cal State East
Bay with a win and a loss, respectively. But after
another loss to Wagner on Feb. 19 dropped the
Terps to 1-4 to start the year, they found their
footing. They dominated the EC AC champion-
ships, knocking off Marist, Princeton and Iona
in hotly contested matches. Beck combined
for 1 1 points in those three wins. From there,
the Terps knocked off George Washington and
Marist in consecutive games to improve to 7-4
before again hitting the skids, dropping four of
five and falling back to 8-8 overall. Soon after,
the Terps would lose four straight to UC Irvine,

USC, Michigan and Indiana to tall to 12-1 V

But then the Terps truly found then- stride.
They won six straight — over Bucknell, George
Washington, Princeton, Harvard, Brown and
Princeton — to gain momentum heading into
the CWPA Eastern Championship, which is
where their season would end. The Terps beat
Princeton, lost to Michigan and beat Hartwick,
7-6, to finish their season atop the CWPA with
a 4-0 record.

Like seven other athletic teams at the univer-
sity, however, the water polo team received dis-
appointing news during its offseason when uni-
versity president Wallace Loh announced that
the water polo team would be cut to help pull
the athletic department out of debt. Effective
as of June 30, 2012, the water polo team will
either have to raise the funds to support their
team or this will be their last season in the Ep-
pley Natatorium.

Regardless, the Terps still have at least one
more season to play in spring 2012, and they'll
make several key road trips, including three to
California, to try to build off the success thev
enjoyed last season.

God is love. God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son
Jesus into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real

love. 1 John 4:9-10
