Today you complete the
journey that was undertaken
several years ago, arriving
proudly at the threshold of a
new life. When you look back, can you see
how this journey has changed you? As you
sit here today, what events stand out in your
niind as experiences that showed you which
path to travel?
We have each followed a unique path but
have reached a common destination. As
seniors, it is easier to list the ways in which
we are different from each other than the
ways in which we are bound together.
We are accustomed to describing students in groups — commuters, residents; members of
ethnic, rehgious, or professional organizations; students in particular departments and colleges.
These differences should be admired and respected as should the many quaUties we share.
From this point, you can reflect on past journeys. Remember what you learned along the
way about who you are and what you are capable of achieving.
Know that your time spent at the University of Maryland will help you arrive at your
next destination. Finally, always consider our campus to be another home, a stop on your life's
journey to which you can always return.
Congratulations!

WINTER COMMENCEMENT
THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
A Bold New Era
From its pre-Civil War roots as the
state's first agricultural college and
one of America's original land
grant institutions, the University of
Maryland has emerged as a pubhc
research university of national
stature, highly regarded for its
broad base of excellence in teach-
ing and research. Maryland's beau-
tifiil 1,200 acre campus is in the
heart of the 1-270 research corri-
dor that is fiieling a burgeoning
information technology and
biotechnology industry'.
By virtually every measure of
quahty, the University of Maryland
has gained national recognition as
one of the fastest rising compre-
hensive research institutions in the
country. In fall 2000, after a
nationwide competition, the uni-
versity received a grant of $9.5
million of a $90 million National
Science Foundation fund created
to support the most advanced IT
research in the country. And that
ftinding impacts research areas
from engijieering to computer
science to geography to social sci-
ences. The momentum of recent
years has poised the university to
move into the top ranks of higher
education and take leadership in
shaping the research universit)' of
the 21st century.
The university's commitment
to quahty education in a research
environment is key to its academic
reputation and the success of its
graduates. The research enterprise
inftises the curriculum at both the
undergraduate and graduate levels,
exposing students to the most
pressing issues and challenges in
their discipline and training them
to respond with rigor as well
as creativity to contemporary
problems.
There are 13 schools and
colleges within the organizational
structure of the University of
Mar>'land. Seven of these units —
the Smith School of Business, the
College of Education, the Clark
School of Engineering, the Col-
lege of Journahsm. the College
of Computer, Mathematical and
Physical Sciences, the College
of Information Studies and the
School of Pubhc Affairs — have
been recognized by their peers and
in various rankings as among the
25 best in the nation. Today, there
are 67 programs ranked in the Top
25 nationally for their academic
quality. The breadth of this excel-
lence is a source of pride for stu-
dents, faculty and staff, and is
endorsement for the university's
flagship stams among the state's
institutions of higher education.
The university has enjoyed a
decade of momentum in all of the
areas that affect quaht\'. The aver-
age high school GPA of entering
students has zoomed upward from
3.01 to 3.76, and the average SATs
are now 1246. Sponsored research
and outreach soared to $352
miUion for FY02, up fixim $262
miUion just two years ago. Private
giving has increased even more
dramatically, from $17 milhon
to S77 miUion in FYOl. Alumni
Association membership has been
growing at an average rate of
10 percent a year since 1992.
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
One of the largest research
universities in the United States,
current enrollment stands at
25,099 undergraduate and 9,061
graduate students. There are 94
undergraduate programs, 89
master's programs, 70 doctoral
programs, and one first professional
degree program. More than 100
centers and institutes are engaged
in research and outreach.
The university has licensed
more than 750 technologies since
1986, and has been issued 135 U.S.
patents. An average of two new
invention disclosures each week
are received by the Office of
Technology Liaison, a reflection of
the pace of innovative technolo-
gies being created at the university'.
Through its Maryland Industrial
Partnerships Program, the univer-
sity collaborates with more than
280 businesses and has spawned 20
new companies; three of which
have been recognized as among
the fastest growing in the state.
Faculty at the University of
Maryland, in all fields of knowl-
edge, are engaged at the highest
levels of national and international
concern. The university's location
near the center of federal pohcy-
making and international pohtical
and economic activity enables it to
play an active role in research and
analysis of pubhc pohcy. Strong
hnks to the scientific and techno-
logical agencies and organizations
of the federal government drive
research in the envirormient, engi-
neering, physics, computer science,
Ufe sciences and agriculture. Schol-
arship in the arts, humanities and
social sciences is marked by the
spirit of intellectual diversity and
interdisciplinary collaboration.
Maryland is one of the research
universities in the prestigious 61-
member Association of American
Universities and the only public
institution in the Maryland-D.C.
area with membership in the
nation's most distinguished honor
society. Phi Beta Kappa. It is classi-
fied as a Research- 1 university by
the Carnegie Foundation by virtue
of the range of its baccalaureate
programs, the amount of federal
support received, and the number
of doctoral degrees awarded each
year, sharing that honor with the
top research universities in the
country.
History
The University of Maryland was
founded in 1807 in Baltimore as a
faculty-owned College of Medi-
cine. The medical school was con-
sidered one of the top schools in
the country, attracting notable pro-
fessors and lecturers from through-
out the world. In its beginning,
tuition cost $140, grades were sent
home weekly to parents, and stu-
dents could obtain room and
board for $300 annually.
Five years later, the growing
mstitution was renamed the
University of Maryland. Despite
the name, the university was not
The University Is On the Move
A New Place to Celebrate: The Comcast Center is the
new home for Maryland men and women's basketball and much
more, including Commencement ceremonies. Comcast Corp.
made a $25 million naming rights gift — the largest single dona-
tion ever to the flagship campus.
Our Constellation of Stars: The quality of Mar>'land faculty
ranks among the finest of any research university in the United
States and includes one Nobel Prize winner, six Puhtzer Prize
winners and 31 National Academy members.
Our Future Is Bright: Our Bold Vision • Bright Future campaign
closed June 30, 2(.)02, raising more than $476 million that sup-
ported advancements in all areas — academics, the arts, athletics.
An Economic Force: The University of Maryland generates
$5.93 of economic activity for every doUar appropriated by the
General Assembly, providing a statewide impact of nearly $1.8
billion annually.
An Impact of Another Kind: NASA turned to the
University of Maryland to lead a $279 miUion mission that
promises astronomers a first look inside a comet, revealing the
pristine materials that form the basis of our solar system. The
projectile is slated to reach Comet Tempel 1 on July 4, 2005.
Leading the Way: The flagship's rapidly rising quality is com-
bined with diversit\'. Students of color represent a third of our
enrollment, and Maryland is among the nation's top five research
universities for African American graduates with bachelor's
degrees and Ph.D.s, according to Bhuk Issi4es in Higher Education.
Class Act: In four years, applications for freshman admission
zoomed from 17,000 to 23,000 — an unprecedented increase of
37 percent. Six students .ippUed for every spot in the Fall 2002
entering class.
Tech Transfer: More than 25 companies have been formed
based on technologies developed at the University of Maryland;
12 of them started since FY 'GO, and all are located within
the state.
Protecting our Communities: In 2002. the Maryland Fire
and Rescue Institute trained more than 27,000 sorely needed
professionals.
WINTER COMMENCEMEN1
THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
considered a state institution as it
was still owned and operated by
faculty. Baltimore College of Den-
tal Surgery, the first dental school
in the world, became a part of the
university in 1 840, awarding the
first Doctor of Dental Surgery
P.D.S.) degree in 1841.
In 1859, the Maryland Agri-
cultural College, which would
evolve into the University of
Maryland, College Park, was
opened under a charter secured by
a group of Maryland planters in
1856. In addition to spending one
hour each day hoeing or plowing
on the college farm, students took
a broad range of courses in ancient
and modern languages, natural sci-
ences, English and mathematics.
After a disastrous fire on campus in
1912, the state acquired the college
and rebuilt it.
In 1920, the state legislature
combined the College Park insti-
tution with the professional
schools in Baltimore to form an
expanded University of Maryland.
The entity eventually grew to
include campuses in Baltimore
County, the Eastern Shore and
University College, a continuing
education institution.
The following decades saw the
increasing growth of student pop-
ulation, excellence in programs
and curricula, and the burgeoning
of the University of Maryland,
College Park, into a nationally rec-
ognized research institution.
July 1, 1988, marked the dawn
of a new era in higher education
in the state of Maryland, as the five
components of the university were
merged with six other state uni-
versities and colleges to form the
University System of Maryland,
and College Park secured its flag-
ship status with a mandate to
become one of the pre-eminent
research universities in the nation.
The Alumni Associatiion
With aluiTini clubs firom Miami
to Taipei, Taiwan, the Maryland
Alumni Association strives to keep
and strengthen ties between the
university and its graduates.
Member events such as pre-game
parties, bull roasts, picnics, golf
tournaments, dinner cruises and
subscriptions to College Park maga-
zine and the biannual Maryland
Alumni supplement help keep
alumni connected to the university
and to each other. All graduating
seniors and successfiil master's and
Ph.D. candidates receive a one-
year fi-ee membership in the
Maryland Alumni Association.

Customs of Commencement
Early commencement ceremonies
at the University of Maryland
were marked with great fanfare
and celebration. The faculty gave
huge banquets for the graduates
the night before the event. The
following morning, crowds gath-
ered to watch the young graduates
parade. It was a gala social occasion,
attracring not onlv friends and
relatives, but the fashionable eUte
of the day. At the ceremony, prayers
were recited, speeches were made,
and honorary degrees were
awarded to distinguished figures
fi-om across the country. Finally, as
the audience cheered and threw
flowers, the graduates came for-
ward to collect their Latin-
inscribed degrees.
Academic Costume
The black caps and gowns worn
by the students and faculty in the
academic procession have been the
traditional costume of scholars since
the Middle Ages. The ordinary
dress of the scholar, whether stu-
dent or teacher, was similar to that
of a cleric. Caps and gowns were
probably worn to keep students
warm in unhealed buildings. Many
medieval scholars were tonsured,
Hke monks, and hoods served to
cover their shaved heads until the
skuU cap later took its place.
Even after the Civil "War, most
students at American universities
wore caps and gowns daily while
in residence. These varied in
design until they were standardized
by the American Intercollegiate
Commission in 1894. At that time
it was decided that all robes would
be black. Colors on the trim of
the gown were also standardized
to indicate the scholar's academic
disciphne.
A list of department colors follows:
Agriculture: Maize
Arts, Letters, Humanities: White
Business Administration,
Commercial Science: Drab
Dentistry: Lilac
Economics: Copper
Education: Light Blue
Engineering: Orange
Fine Arts, Architecture: Brown
Forestry: Russet
Home Economics: Maroon
Journahsm: Crimson
Law: Purple
Library Science: Lemon
Medicine: Green
Music: Pink
Nursing: Apricot
Oratory, Speech: Silver Gray
Pharmacy: OUve
Philanthropy: Rose
Philosophy: Dark Blue
Public Administration, Foreign
Service: Peacock Blue
PubUc Health: Sahnon
Physical Education: Sage Green
Science: Golden Yellow
Social Work: Citron
Theology and Divinity: Scarlet
Veterinar>' Sciences: Gray
The tassel may also be colored
to represent an academic disciphne
or it may be black. Officially, the
tassel is permitted "to he where it
will" on the mortarboard. How-
ever, numerous institutions have
adopted the practice of having
degree candidates wear the tassel
on the right front side at the start
of the commencement ceremony
and then shift them to the left side
after degrees are awarded.
Senior Marshals
Elected through a nomination
process, senior marshals are senior
leaders who play an important role
in the graduation ceremony. They
assist in organizing the thousands
of graduates, leading them
smoothly through the commence-
ment procession. They also supply
extra caps and hoods, and bobby
pins to keep headwear secure.
December 2002 marshals are Usted
on page 60 of this booklet.
Senior Gift
The senior gift is a university
tradition dating back 92 years.
The first senior gift, the iron gate
entrance at the Rossborough Inn,
was given by the Class of 1910
(although the gate itself was not
erected until 1941). The Class of
2002 will leave its mark with the
creation ofTerrapin Gardens, a
quiet park near Memorial Chapel
that is intended as a place for
reflection on the past academic
year. Engraved landscaping stones
will commemorate such momen-
tous events as September 1 1 , the
tornado. Nelson Mandela's visit.
Cole's last game, the university's
first NCAA men's basketball
championship, as well as quotes
from senior class members about
the significance of the year.
WINTER C O M M E N C E M E N T
THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
The purpose of the senior gift
is twofold. Each year the senior
class leaves behind a memorable
legacy for new students and visi-
tors, and provides the university
■with a gift that enhances the
campus atmosphere.
Past senior gifts have included:
theTestudo statue (Class of 1933),
the lights around the "M" in the
traiBc circle on Campus Drive
(Class of 1986), restoration of the
Chapel chimes and clock face
(Class of 1992) and the Bronzed
Seal on North Gate House (Class
of 1995).
Academic Degrees
A degree is awarded for the suc-
cessfiil completion of a course of
study. There are more than 1,600
different academic degrees cur-
rendy conferred by colleges and
universities nationwide. The Um-
versity of Maryland offers degrees
in 94 undergraduate majors, 89
master's programs, 70 doctoral
programs and one first professional
degree.
The Doctor's Degree
The doctor's degree represents
the most advanced earned degree
conferred by American institu-
tions. There are two distinct types:
the practitioner's degree and the
research degree. The first type
represents advanced training for
the practice of various professions,
principally Doctor of Medicine,
Juris Doctor, Doctor of Pharmacy,
and Doctor of Veterinary
Medicine. These degrees do not
involve the completion of original
research by the student. The
University of Maryland, at the
professional school in Baltimore,
awarded the first two dental
degrees ever on March 9, 1841,
and invented the name of the
degree, Doctor of Dental Surgery
P.D.S.).
The University of Maryland
conveys the Doctor of Veterinary
Medicine (D.V.M.) to appro.Ni-
mately 90 students each year in
a program that was instituted in
1980. Graduates receive a diploma
containing the seals of both the
University of Maryland and its
partner institution, the Virginia
Polytechnic Institute and State
University.
The second type is the research
doctorate representing prolonged
periods of advanced study. A dis-
sertation that usually accompanies
the smdy is mtended to contribute
substantially to the body of knowl-
edge on the subject. The most
important of these, the Doctor
of Philosophy, no longer has an
imphcation of philosophy for its
holder, but represents advanced
research in any of the major fields
of knowledge. It was first awarded
in the United States in 1861 by
Yale University. The University of
Maryland awarded a Ph.D. for the
first time in 1920.
The Master's Degree
The master's degree is an academic
honor bestowed upon students
who have successfully completed
work beyond the baccalaureate.
A thesis and an oral examination
are usually required. In 1 920, the
University of Maryland awarded its
first Master of Arts (M.A.) and Mas-
ter of Science (M.S.) degrees in
fields other than agriculmre.
The Bachelor's Degree
The bachelor's degree represents
the conrpletion of a four-year
course of coUege-level study and
is the oldest academic degree
awarded by American institutions
of higher learning. It was first con-
ferred in America in 1642 on the
first nine graduates of Harvard
College. Maryland Agriculture
College, which later became the
University of Mar>'land, College
Park, awarded its first Bachelor of
Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Sci-
ence (B.S.) in 1862.

INIVERSITY OF MARYLAT
COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER
For nearly half a century, Dorothy Irene Height has given leadership to the struggle
for equality and human rights for all people. As the fourth president of the National
Council of Negro Women, started in 1937 by Mary McCloud Bethune, Height has
helped countless women in America and around the world participate in democra-
tic reform resulting in new opportunities for themselves, their families and their conmiunities.
This past March, celebrities gathered at a gala to celebrate her 90th birthday, raising more than
$5 million to support the NCNW that she led for more than 40 years.
Born in Richmond, Va., in 1912, Height stood out at a very young age as a dedicated
student with strong oratorical skills. She would later become known as one of the major
leaders of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, as she participated in virtually all major
civil and human rights events of those turbulent times.
Although she has served both government and social service associations in many capacities.
Height IS best known by her leadership role with theYWCA and the NCNW. When Height
was assistant director of the Harlem YWCA, she escorted Eleanor Roosevelt into an NCNW
meeting in 1937. It was then that Height joined Bethune in her quest for women's rights to
full and equal employment, pay and education.
In 1957, Height assumed the presidency of the National Council of Negro Women and led
the organization until January 1998 when she became president emerita. In 1965, she founded
and served as director of the Center for Racial Justice, a position she held until 1977.
Height's distinguished service has led to more than 50 awards including the Citizen's Medal
Award, presented by President Ronald Reagan in 1989, the same year she received the
Franklin Delano Roosevelt Freedom Medal; induction into the National Women's Hall of
Fame, in 1993; and the Presidential Medal of Freedom Award in 1994. She has received 29
honorary degrees from such institutions as Spelman CoOege, Harvard and Princeton. Today, the
University of Maryland is privileged to add its name to those who have honored the woman
who has dedicated her hfe to the betterment of all people, and to the African American
woman and Black family, in particular.

WINTER COMMENCEMENT
GRADUATING STUDENT SPEAKER
Kirsten Ehrenspcck
Facing her fears head on, this winter's commencement speaker, Kirsten Ehrenspeck,
sought to overcome a phobia of pubhc speaking by choosing a major in secondary
education, speech and Enghsh. Today her success is evident: Besides speaking before
hundreds of her peers, Ehrenspeck graduates with honors and a 3.9 grade-point
a\erage, havmg fulfilled many leadership roles at Maryland, including teaching an Honors
section of freshman students.
Ehrenspecks achievements have been propelled by two simple life-gtiiding questions:
"How can I improve myself?" and "How can I help others?" The answers to those questions
motivated the 22-year-old to pursue teaching as a career. "I knew strong pubhc speaking skills
would be important as a teacher, so I decided to take something that was a weakness and turn
it into a strength," she says.
Her mentors at Maryland, Uke professor Ann A. Battle of the Department of Human
Development in the College of Education, see only strengths. "She is remarkably dedicated,
persistent, and above all, scholarly in her approach to her academic studies," Battle wrote in
a letter recommending Ehrenspecks nomination as commencement speaker. Battle credits
Ehrenspeck for her, "highly energized, inteUectually sophisticated" approach to her studies,
adding that she "thought above, beyond and outside of every box that was presented."
During her time at Maryland, Ehrenspeck founded "The Prism," the College of Education
undergraduate newsletter, and helped reform the College of Educations peer-mentoring
program, now called "Terp Pals." She played the flute and the piccolo in the Mights' Sound
of Maryland marching band, and was a member of Alpha Lambda Delta honors society and
the University Honors Program. She also plays piano competitively, and says she appreciates
any opportunity to travel and experience other cultures firsthand. Ehrenspeck spent her last
semester at Maryland student-teaching at an area middle school and high school. She wrote
her honors thesis on the psychosocial development of elementary and middle school students
who are labeled "gifted and talented" by their school systems.
Although excited about her future, Ehrenspeck says she loved her college experience. "I am
sad to graduate," she says. "I wish I could go back and do it again and take all new classes."
