BEST WISHES AND CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL GRADUATES
Congratulations on the completion of your degree! This is a milestone in your
life, and I am sure that you and your family and friends are very proud of your
accomplishment. I am confident that m the years to come, your appreciation
of your education at Maryland will continue to blossom. You have learned the current theories
that underhe your field, and you have also learned how to formulate your ideas. You may have

none of us can specify today, even though we are fully confident that it wiU happen.
As you leave us, I would like you to know how much we, the faculty' and staff, respect your
accomplishments as scholar, artist, athlete and leader — as individuals. You have enriched our
lives and have helped the university reach new levels of distinction and esteem. You have now
become a member of the university's alumni family, and ue welcome you to this special group.
I urge you to stay connected to us and take full advantage of the benefits of being an alum
of the University of Maryland. I hope that you will return to campus often, continue to
support us and help new generations of students shape their futures as you have yours. Please
consider joining us next April 30 for Maryland Day 2005. This vers' special event has become
a signature of the campus.
You have my very best wishes for all your endeavors. We are proud of each and every one
of vou!
Yours sincerely,
CD. Mote, Jr.
President
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
MESSAGE FROM THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
m raduates,
■ "^^r You are about to participate in one of Maryland's oldest traditions: the

All states and 169 countries are represented.
Today you complete the journey that was under-
taken several years ago, arriving proudly at the
threshold of a new life. When you look back,
can vou see how this journey has changed you?
As you sit here today, what events stand out in your mind as
experiences that showed you which path to travel?
We have each followed a umque path but have reached a
common destination. As seniors, it is easier to list the ways in
%\hich we are different from each other than the ways in which
we are bound together.
We are accustomed to describing students in groups — com-
muters; residents; members of ethnic, reUgious, or professional
orgamzations; students in particular departments and colleges.
These difference should be admired and respected as should
the many qualities we share.
From this point, you can reflect on past journeys. Remem-
ber what \ou learned along the way about who you are and
what you are capable of achieving.
Know that time spent at the University of Maryland will
help you arrive at your next destination. Finally, always con-
sider our campus another home, a stop on your life's journey
to which you can always return.
Congratulations!

WINTER COMMENCEMENT
THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
A Continuing Commitment
to Excellence
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
public research university of
national stature, highly regarded
for its broad base of excellence in
teaching and research. Maryland's
beautifiil 1,200-acre campus is in
the heart of the 1-270 research
corridor that is ftiehng a burgeon-
ing information technolog%' and
biotechnology indust^\^
The momentum of recent years
has poised the university to take
leadership in shaping the research
university of the 21st century. By
virtually every measure of quahty,
the University of Maryland has
gained national recognition as one
of the fastest rising comprehensive
research institutions m the country.
Marv'land is one of the nation's Top
20 pubhc national universities, and
the qualirs' of our faculty — with
one Nobel Prize winner, six
Puhtzer Prize winners and scores
of Fulbright scholars — is among
the finest of any research university
in the United States.
There are 13 schools and
colleges wathin the organizational
strucmre of the University' of
Mars'land. Seven of these units —
the Smith School of Business, the
College of Education, the Clark
School of Engineering, the Phihp
Merrill College of Journalism, the
College of Computer, Mathemati-
cal and Physical Sciences, the
College of Information Studies and
the School of Public PoUcy — have
been recognized by their peers and
in various rankings as among the
25 best in the nation. The breadth
of this excellence is a source of
pride for students, faculty and
staff, and is endorsement for the
umversit\''s flagship status among
the state's institutions of higher
education.
The universiu' also continues
to move forward in the quahty
of our students and the support
of our faithful alumni. Freshman
admission is highly competitive.
Last year 22.000 appHcations were
received for only 4.100 spots in the
Fall 2004 entering class. Once
accepted students complete their
academic journey, they will join a
rapidly increasing family of alumni
who are proud to be called Terps.
Mar\'land Alumni Association
membership is increasmg at
a record rate, with a 20 percent
uicrease in the last tour years
and nearly 4,000 people joining
the Alumni Association since
July 2003.
The universit)''s commimient
to quahty education in a research
emironnient is key to its academic
reputation and the success of its
graduates. More than 100 centers
and institutes are engaged in
research and outreach. The research
enterprise infijses the curriculum
at both the undergraduate and
graduate levels, exposing smdents
to the most pressing issues and
challenges in their discipUne and
training them to respond with
rigor as well as creativity to
contemporar\' problems.
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
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 policy-
making and international political
and economic activity enables it to
play an active role in research and
analysis of pubhc policy. Strong
links to the scientific and techno-
logical agencies and organizations
of the federal government drive
research in the environment, engi-
neering, physics, computer science,
hfe sciences and agriculture. Schol-
arship in the arts, humanities and
social sciences is marked by the
spirit of intellectual diversit\' 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 Mars'land-D.C.
area with membership in the
nation's most distinguished
honor societv-. Phi Beta Kappa.
Total sponsored research and
outreach revenue for fiscal year
2(104 was a record high of more
than S352 million. These fiinds for
research, training and outreach and
other pubhc service activities come
from a variety of sources including
the federal government, state
government, corporations and
foundations.
The Office ofTechnology
C^ommercialization (OTC) at
the University of Mar^'land was
established in 1986 to facilitate
the tramfer of information, life
and physical science inventions
developed at the university to
business and industry. In its 1 8-
year history, OTC has recorded
more than 1,300 technologies,
secured more than 270 patents
and licensed more than 750 tech-
nologies, generating more than
$21.7 million in technology
transfer income. Through its
Maryland Technology Enterprise
Institute, the university collaborates
with more than 280 businesses and
has spawned 45 new companies —
including r\vo of Maryland's 20
public biotech companies.
History
The University- of Maryland was
founded in 1807 in Baltimore
as a faculty-owned College of
Medicine. The medical school
was considered one of the top
schools in the country, attracting
notable professors and lecturers
fi-oni throughout the world. In its
beginning, tuition cost S 1 40, grades
were sent home weekly to parents,
and students could obtain room
and board for $300 annually.
Five years later, the growing
institution was renamed the
University of Maryland. Despite
the name, the university was not
considered a state institution as it
was still owiied and operated by
faculty. Baltimore College of
Dental Surgery, the first dental
scliool in the world, became a
part of the university in 1840,
awarding the first Doctor of Dental
Surger>^ (D.D.S.) degree in 1841.
The University Is On the Move
Leading the Way: Among Top 20 national public universities,
Maryland is No. 1 in the total number of degrees conferred
upon African American students.
New Homes for Innovation: We're building the state's
largest-evcr research park, M Square, which will bring nearly
6,500 new jobs to the area. The state of Maryland also recently
approved $6o.6 million m planning and construction funds,
allowing us to break ground on a new Bioscience Research
Building, bolstering the university's goal to provide regional
leadership in education and research for the biosciences.
Our Constellation of Stars: The quahry of Maiyland faculty
ranks among the finest of any research university in the United
States and includes one Nobel Prize winner, sL\ PuUtzer Prize
winners and scores of Fulbright scholars.
Impact of Another Kind: NASA turned to the university to
lead a $279 million mission that promises astronomers a first
look inside a comet, reveahng the pristine materials that torm
the basis of our solar system. The projectile is slated to launch m
Januar\' 2005.
Lighting a Path: The university is embarking on a new fund-
raising campaign that includes among its goals raising at least
$200 nuUion for student scholarships, which are needed to
ensure that lower- and middle-income students graduate with
reduced debt load. Co-chairing this important effort is alumnus
and men's head basketball coach Gary Williams.
An Economic Force: The Universirs- ofM.ir\iand generates
$5.93 of econonuc activity for every dollar appropriated by the
General Assembly, providing a statewide impact of nearly $1.8
billion annually.
Lending Knowledge: With 3 million volumes and eight
Ubraries i>n campus, the universirs's library system is the largest
in the state.
Protecting our Communities: The Maryland Fire and
Rescue Institute trained more than 31,500 sorely needed
professionals during the last fiscal year.
VUINTEB COMMENCEMENT
THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
In 1859, the Mary-land Agricul-
tural 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 addi-
tion 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 sciences, EngUsh
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 institu-
tion with the professional schools
in Baltimore to form an expanded
University of Maryland. The entity
eventually grew to include cam-
puses in Baltimore County, the
Eastern Shore and University
College, a continuing education
institution.
The following decades saw
the increasmg growth of student
population, excellence in programs
and curricula, and the burgeoning
of the University of Maryland,
College Park, into a nationally
recognized research instiaition.
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 univer-
sities and colleges to form the
University System of Maryland,
and College Park secured its
flagship status with a mandate to
become one of the pre-eminent
research universities in the nation.
The Alumni Association
With alumm clubs trom 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 Terp.
the University' of Maryland maga-
zine, help keep alumni connected
to the university and to each other.
All graduating seniors and success-
fill master's and Ph.D. candidates
receive a one-year fi^ee member-
ship in the Maryland Alumni
Association.

Customs of Commencement
Harly coiixnienccnicnt ccrcinomcs
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,
attracting not only friends and rela-
tives, but the fashionable elite of the
day. At the ceremony, prayers were
recited, speeches were made, and
honorary degrees were awarded to
distinguished figures from across
the country. Finally, as the audi-
ence cheered and threw flowers,
the graduates came forward 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 orchnary
dress of the scholar, whether student
or teacher, was similar to that of
a cleric. Caps and gowns were
probably worn to keep students
warm in unheated buildings. Many
medieval scholars were tonsured,
Hke monks, and hoods served to
cover their shaved heads until the
skull 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
discipline.
A list of department colors follows:
Agriculture: Maize
Arts, Letters, Humamries: White
Business Administration,
Commercial Science: Drab
Dentistry: Lilac
Economics: Copper
Education: Light Blue
Engineering: Orange
Fine Arts, Architecture: Brown
Forestry: Russet
Home Economics: Maroon
JournaUsm: Crimson
Law: Purple
Library Science: Lemon
Medicine: Green
Music: Pink
Nursing: Apricot
Oratory, Speech: Silver Gray
Pharmacy: Ohve
Physical Education: Sage Green
Philanthropy: Rose
Philosophy: Dark Blue
PubUc Administration, Foreign
Service: Peacock Blue
Public Health: Salmon
Science: Golden Yellow
Social Work: Citron
Theology and Divinity: Scarlet
Veterinary Sciences: Gray
The tassel may also be colored
to represent an academic discipline
or it may be black. OiEcially, the
tassel is permitted "to lie where
it will" on the mortarboard.
However, 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.
Student Marshals
The Senior Marshal program
was implemented in 1991 for
the purpose of recognizing and
honoring exceptional graduating
students. This year's Marshals were
nominated by faculty and staff
members and were selected for
their scholastic achievements,
leadership, and contributions to
the campus community. The
December 2004 Marshals are
hsted on page 64 of this booklet.
Senior Gift
Since 1910, members of the
graduating class have supported
a senior gift designed to
commemorate their college
experience. Traditionally the
gift serves as a contribution to
the campus community' that
forever Unks alumni with the
university. Past gifts include
the Testudo statue, gardens,
artwork, contributions to the
library, and support for projects
such as the Jim Henson statue
and the sun dial.
WINTER COMMENCEMENT
THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
This year's senior gift, a
custom-designed clock, will be
placed in a prominent location in
the Stamp Student Union food
court. With your support, the
graduates of 2004— 2005 can leave
a legacy that wiU stand the test
of time. If you would like to
make a contribution, please visit
www.seniors.umd.edu or call
301.314.GRAD for more
information.
Academic Degrees
A degree is awarded for the
successfiil completion of a course
of study. There are more than
1,600 different academic degrees
currendy conferred by colleges
and universities nation%vide. The
University of Maryland offers
degrees in 95 undergraduate
majors, 93 master's programs.
71 doctoral programs and one
first professional degree.
The Doctor's Degree
The doctor's degree represents
the most advanced earned degree
conferred by American mstitutions.
There are two distinct types: the
practitioner's degree and the
research degree. The first rv'pe
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 rwo dental
degrees ever on March 9, 1841.
and invented the name of the
degree, Doctor of Dental Surgery
P.D.S.).
The University of Mar\'land
conveys the Doctor of Veterinary
Medicine (D.V.M.) to
approximately 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 parmer
institution, the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute and State Umversity.
The second type is the research
doctorate representing prolonged
periods of advanced study.
A dissertation that usually
accompanies the study is intended
to contribute substantially to the
body of knowledge on the subject.
The most important of these, the
Doctor of Philosophy, no longer
has an impUcation 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 Universitv'. 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 successfioUy completed
work beyond the baccalaureate.
A thesis and an oral
examination are usually required.
In 1920, the University of
Mars'land awarded its first Master
of Arts (M.A.) and Master of
Science (M.S.) degrees in fields
other than agriculture.
The Bachelor's Degree
The bachelor's degree represents
the complenon of a four-year
course of college-level study and
IS the oldest academic degree
awarded by American institutions
of higher learning. It was first
conferred in America in 1 642 on
the first nine graduates of Harvard
College. Maryland Agriculture
College, which later became the
Universit)' of Maryland, College
Park, awarded its first Bachelor of
Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of
Science (B.S.) in 1862.

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER
Tliough he's been in congress less than two years, Rep. Chris Van Hollen has
already emerged as a fighter for pubHc schools and higher education.
He was elected in 2( )( )2 to represent Maryland's 8th District — including a
large swath of Montgomery County- and a sliver of Prince George's County- —
and immediately made educational initiatives one of his top priorities.
A member of the Committee for Education and the Workforce and the Committee
on Government Reform, Van Hollen was named 2003 Outstanding New Member by the
non-partisan Committee for Education Funding.
His first bill as a congressman called for full funding of the federal No Child Left Behind
Act, and this year he's worked to close a loophole allowing government subsidies for private
student loan lenders. Doing so, he says, would save the Department of Education millions of
dollars and free up more cash for the loans themselves.
Van Hollen also co-sponsored legislation that would have expanded federal grant programs
and required states to provide level funding to public universities, initiatives aimed at increasing
college opportunities and keeping costs low.
He says the biggest challenges facing today's graduates are "first to repay their students loans
and then to save the world."
In his 12 years as a member of the Maryland General Assembly, Van Hollen also pushed
for the establishment of the Maryland Prepaid College Trust and for the expansion ot state
scholarship programs. He has visited campus for Earth Day in 2002, and was recognized here
in 2002 for supporting relations between the United States, and Israel. He has also called on
Mar)'land students to help him promote higher education causes.
"During m\- 1 2 >ears in the Maryland State Legislature, I had the opportunity- to work with
many students, faculty, and administrators and other members of the University of Maryland, Col-
lege Park, family," said Van HoUen, 45. "The graduates of this extraordinary institution have reached
a major milestone, and I am gratefiil for the opportunity to share this joyous time with them."
The congressman graduated fi-om the Georgetown University Law Center and holds a mas-
ter's degree in public policy fix^m Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government.
A father of three, he lives with his wife and children in Kensington.

GRADUATING STUDENT SPEAKER
Rencc Silwolii
After interning for a judge in high school, student speaker Renee Sihvola
thought she might be interested in studying law in college. So when it came
time for the Frederick native to choose a school, she picked the University
of Maryland because it was close to the action.
"It was right by D.C., and I knew whatever I wanted to be involved in was here, whether
it was politics or law enforcement or something else," says Sihvola. 21. "'That's one of the things
I love about Maryland — the abundance of activities and opportunities to get involved."
Graduating with a double major in government and poUtics and criminal justice. Sihvola
let few opportunities pass her by once she moved onto campus.
During her freshman year, she helped found the Open Door Fellowship, a non-sectarian
Christian group that brings students together for worship and Bible study. With Sihvola's help,
the group organized occasional concerts at the Nyumburu Cultural Center.
As a member of the Lutheran Student Association, Sihvola also volunteered to mentor
students from nearby Langley Park Elementary School. She spearheaded clothing drives for the
local Salvadorian community' and organized food coOections as a resident assistant in Charles HaU.
She also bulked up her schedule to earn her degree in three and a half years. Classmates in
the College Park Scholars in Public Leadership program convinced her to major in government
and pohtics, but she decided to add another major because she was so interested in hands-on
law enforcement techniques. Her favorite classes, she says, are those that take her into the lab
to examine tool marks from a crime scene or study polygraph results.
Despite long hours studying for her 3.89 grade point average. Sihvola always found time for
intramural sports. She took home first place as part of coed basketball and flag football teams.
Now she's competing for a bigger prize — a coveted spot at one of the nation's most
prestigious law schools. She's awaiting word from seven programs.
Internships with a state's attorney, the campus Legal Aid office and the Department of
Justice" Ofiice of International Affairs helped her set her sights on becoming a lawyer.
"I saw how difficult it was," she says. "And I really Uke challenges."
