However, this past year has taught me a lot about the people around me and myself. 'The U Within U came to us one night in our office, while we fumbled to find a phrase that captured the essence of our book and our school. The idea that drove this book came together in June 2010 at a workshop in New Orleans. We worked to create a yearbook that reflects all of the personalities that come together to make the U. Everyone contributes a different piece of the mosaic that is Miami. The personalities that emerge from our student body breathe life into the school's academics, athletics, Greek life and all of its organizationsWe learn so much from the people around us that it seems that student life serves as another classroom-without the exams or papers. Our own Ibis staff is a sampling of all of the personalities that resonate on campus.We have our extroverted, bold members that make their opinions well known. And then there are our introverted, eclectic souls that inspire us to keep moving. It's the people we surround ourselves with that make our Miami experience worthwhile. We have created a book that reflects this vast array of people, their unique quirks and a book that captures the moments we shared and the obstacles we overcame. This yearbook is about the students that make the University of Miami a bold, eclectic and vivid place. We treasure our time together and know that without this experience, without these moments and without these people, we would not be people who can be described as powerful, compassionate and talented individuals. I hope that you enjoy the work that we have put into this book and love it just as much as we do. This book isn't for us as a staff, but for you as a Cane. A vaWAAAA mm A . w twim WWW WWAWAA AA p w.

Kim, who is majoring in marine biology, seized the opportunity to spend her summer as a marine science intern at the Perry Institute for Marine Science in Lee Stocking Island. Researchers and scientists from all over the country base their research off Lee Stocking Island because of the many geographic features found there such as blue holes, mangroves and coral reefs?

But there were lots of beautiful beaches, hiking trails all around the island, and amazing places to dive and snorkel, Kim said. Kim did have access to the Internet, which helped her communicate with her loved ones. She also had access to a television set, which kept her from missing important moments. ltThere was only one television set on the island but I had cable TV which was awesome during the World Cup! Kim said. For many students, like Fuhrman and Kim, a summer internship reinforces their love for their future career and allows them to Visit a place they have never been able to see. HJust one summer at Lee Stocking Island showed me how great it is to also get away from the hustle and bustle... and that there is so much out there waiting to be discovered, Kim said. t'The lineal world' might be big and scary, but I am prepared to really succeed in it after this summer's experiences.

Moving in to a new place and out of a parent's home can be stressful and terrifying. These four on-campus residents reminisce about their first awkward and scary times moving into the once intimidating environment they now call home. By Christopher Hardgrove and interviews by K ylie Banks $ ItAfter move in day, my parents and I decided to go out for dinner in the Grove. I was feeling really homesick, so I just started crying a little bit in the middle of the restaurant. My mom leaned over and started crying too. When the waiter came over to take our order, he pulled out a box of tissues. It was a pretty embarrassing way to start out the year. Julie Bowman Sophomore tWhen my dad and I came to look at UM he bought a Miami tank top that looked like a mans T-shirt that the sleeves ran away from. It became a conversation piece because of just how funny it looked on him. On my very first day at UM, my dad changed into the tank top mid move-in and met my roommate, her sister and her parents wearing that my roommate still makes fun of me for today.

Preparing for move in, navigating the crowded. under-stocked aisles of Target or Wal-Mart was a necessity for most incoming freshmen, Adjusting to life away from home can be one of the most stressful parts of college. The first thing on my baCk-to- school shopping list this year was snack food and good toilet paper? Mark Daigle, sophomore, said. For some students, the shopping process required multiple trips. til didnlt buy enough stuff for my dormf Bharathi Subramanian, freshman, said. HMy roommate and I are still buying stuff that we didn't think of when we first moved in? Hecht and Stanford were the main residential colleges that housed freshmen on campus. Though the new experience of sharing a small dorm A new year ushers in friends, a second home and lifestyle room could be overwhelming, not everyone had a problem adjusting. til didn't have to share a room in my house, but I don't mind having a roommate. I just wish I had a bigger bed? Subramanian said After their freshmen year, sophomores chose to live on campus in suite-style dorms like those in Mahoney Residential College. HMahoney is better after you get a solid group of friends because you get to live with three of your Closest ones. Also, not having a communal bathroom is key, Daigle said Though some preferred the convenience of living on campus and being able to walk to class, others chose to live in an off campus apartment or house, for the amenities and independence. iii definitely prefer living off campus. It's really nice to have my own room and a kitchen, Katy Seabaugh, senior, said. Not wanting the supervision of an RA was another reason for moving off campus, but responsibilities like mowing the lawn or cleaning the kitchen could be even more daunting Junior Eddie Mauldin lived in a house with six other friends. HDelegating responsibilities is a big game of chess in a house with seven guys! i, Mauldin said. Though students disagreed about whether on or off campus housing was the way to go, moving in and living away from home gave students the opportunity to make memories while learning how to live on their own for the first time.

For juniors Frankie Pereda and Marcos Feddersen rooming together has been as easy as one, two, three. The two were a random match their freshman year in Stanfordls Rosborough Tower floor 10. ttWe like a lot of the same things, Pereda said. tBeing so alike helps. The engineering majors moved in together through substance temperate housing from their freshman to their junior year. tl wanted to live with people who had similar views of how to have fun without alcohol? Feddersen said. They started on a substance-free floor in Stanford, sophomore year they moved in with Canes Advocating a Substance Temperate Lifestyle and their junior year they hoped to move into the University Village together to continue the tradition. Seniors Sony Jadeja and Sabrina Bunch have lived together since their sophomore year. Their freshman year they were neighbors in Hecht and the next year several girls from their floor moved to Eaton where they all lived together and formed bonds. tWe had a close group of six friends that moved up togetheer Bunch said. llWe live in the UV, a few live in houses together, and others have apartments near campusfl The pair couldn't be any more opposite. The two have different majors and diverse backgrounds.

For the ladies of floor nine in Heoht Residential College's McDonald Tower OVITQT, that was exactly the case. The six-day orientation started with Cane Kickoff, where new residents learned what it meant to be a Cane and ended with Canefest, where they learned about different ways to get involved in campus organizations. HR was really nice being so busy,H Michelle Waltenburg, freshman, said We didnTt have any time to get homesick H According to MT9's sophomore Resident Assistant, Kristina Amrani, the hypnotist show was by far the most popular activity. It allowed those new to campus to break out of their shells and relax after such a busy day, HThe show was cool because I didnt think it was real until the end and people didn't remember what happened, H Breanne Prindevilie, freshman, said. Waltenburg and her roommate, Madeline Hasbrouck, met on Facebook after being matched on UM'S roommate search service. HGoing from being an only child with Roommates become a support system for one another while transitioning to a life far from home my own space to having half of a room was probably the hardest part of moving in, Hasbrouk said. HI used to only sleep in my room and now everything happens on my bed. H Prindeville and her roommate, Emily Werkmann, became best friends immediately. This was no surprise since they were a 98 percent match on the roommate search service. HI really want to find a way to keep rooming with her next year, H Werkmann said. Besides a roommate that they are compatible with, a welcoming dorm environment can make residents feel more comfortable and create a calming effect. HI miss home sometimes but the atmosphere here in Hecht makes it easier,H Werkmann said, The floors elevator lobby makes it obvious that you are entering a girls' floor. Large pink letters proclaim HSHOP TIL YOU DROP and silhouettes of girls with their shopping bags line the walls proclaiming femininity. According to Amrani, the floors theme was a good neutral choice that everyone would like. HI figured it was a theme that was sure to appeal to every girl in some way,H Amrani said. By Sandra M. Montalvo Orientation 017 A look into planning such a colossal event Freshmen waited anxiously outside the doors of the BankUnited Center for Canefest to begin. Once the doors opened, they shuffled in through the second floor entrance, whizzing past the overrun club sports tables and breezing by outstretched hands attempting to hand them flyers for campus ministries. They were there for one thing, and one thing only: the free stuff. What most didn't realize when they were stuffing their bags with pins, pens and T-shirts, was that Canefest was a major event that took months of planning. A committee of undergraduates met once a week for the entire summer in order to set the iconic event in motion. Logistically, the event was a large undertaking. There was only room for 140 organizations in the BUC and the spots were assigned on a first come, first serve basis. According to Canefest Committee Chair, Ashley Taggart, all of the organizations, both registered and standby, got placed at a table this year. HGetting everyone placed at a table was a success. Our goal is to give students the greatest variety of organizations possible, Taggart, junior, said. LIFESTYLES Registered organizations were then placed on the floor in color groups, in accordance with how they were registered with the Committee on Student Organizations Each group contained many organizational categories. Advertising was also a large part of Canefest. Senior Kenneth Garcia and junior Coral Milican designed the 2010 logo and T-shirt that featured two silhouettes throwing up the U. Hlt was about trying to represent the individual, so we came up with the idea of having a boy and a girl literally bleeding orange and green, Garcia said. After trying to create the silhouettes from scratch, Garcia and Milican had a friend take a picture of them and that photo became the basis for the design. 'tSeeing our logo, that featured ourselves, appear on everything from the plaques, VIP parking passes, coffee mugs for the sponsors, the gift bags and the email signatures was awesome? Milican said. t'But it really doesn't compare to the feeling of awe that overcame me when .. . our T-shirt guy and sponsor delivered the boxes of white T-shirts and I could see it everywhere.

My first job after graduation was working as a formulation chemist in a shampoo factory, designing different types of soaps and shampoos. Eventually, I found a job working for the state of New Mexico. There I tested drinking or tap water for toxic metals such as lead. Three years later, I attended graduate school in Richmond, Virginia. I began as a teaching assistant for the freshmen labs and also started doing research with cancer therapy drugs that are derivatives of cisplatin, a platinum based medicinal drug. I realized I could find a better school and I decided to visit UM. LIFESTYLES CHAPTER Photo by Cayla Nimmo CYLOR SPAULDING A native of Arizona, I hold a MA. degree in strategic public relations from the University of Southern California and a BA. degree in journalism from Arizona State University. I spent seven years working in the public relations industry. I have also worked with numerous PR agencies, where I worked on public outreach campaigns for clients, like Microsoft. Most recently, I was the co-head of the public relations department at a boutique integrated communications agency. While at the agency, I spearheaded a number of campaigns for clients across multiple industries and helped launch Zhu Zhu Pets, electronic pet hamsters, as one of the top toys of 2009. Photo by Cayla Nimmo PAIGE HELMICK I was born and raised in South Miami. I graduated with a 8.8. degree in biology from the University of Florida in three years. While at UF, I was an officer for an organization called Heal the World. Through the club and the Foundation for International Medical Relief of Children IFIMRCI, I went on two medical mission trips, one to San Jose, Costa Rica and one to Huancayo, Peru, to volunteer in clinics and shadow physicians in local hospitals. The experiences were both shocking and rewarding and furthered my desire to work in the medical field. I decided to return to Miami and attend the Miller School of Medicine because of UMIs diversity and commitment to service. Professionals seek to continue their studIes 1n compet1t1ve programs One hundred and thirteen bachelor programs, 106 master programs and 53 doctoral programs make up the superior academic opportunities that define the U. According to the 201 1 edition of the U.S. News and World Report, UM's Graduate School programs rose again in national rankings. The Miller School of Medicines Physical Therapy program was ranked No. seven in the nation, the School of Business' Tax Law program broke into the top of the rankings at Not five and the Clinical Psychology graduate Photo by Cayla Nimmo program in the College of Arts and Sciences was ranked 25th. Many students who studied at UM for their post-graduate degrees, already had extensive experience in the professional world, but when they continued their education they made the transition in to a new lifestyle. Hailing from around the globe, they came for the plethora of opporunities and the chance to enhance their education and their knowledge, in a city with a truly international culture and a diverse population. By Ting Xje and Lindsay Perez GEOGRAPHIC ORIGINS Over 110 countries were represented in the graduate population. Graduates came to the University from all corners of the globe. While there was an equal number of females and males, the geographic origins of its graduates were equally as diverse as those of its undergraduates.

I earned a 8.8. degree in public relations at UF. In college, I was invited to participate as the U.S. student delegate to the 2003 International Mission on Business in China and studied abroad in Spain. From 2007 to 2008, I served as account executive in Republica, a full-service branding, advertising and communications company targeting clients in South Florida, the U.S. Hispanic market and Latin America. Now I have been working at MTV Networks for three years as an account executive in ad sales. I truly believe in the power of education and the professors at UM challenge us to think. JOANNE Y'U LIANG I was born in Foshan, China. When I was two years old, my family moved to Hong Kong. After a ten-year stay, we moved to Singapore and then to Indonesia. During my childhood, the one thing that impressed upon me the most was travel. Traveling and living in different countries provided me with great multicultural experiences and broadened my mind. During my undergraduate study I got an internship opportunity with UN-Habitat and went to Kenya for three months. I saw the unimaginably miserable life of people living in slums; I understood that the help I could give to people in need still made a difference. Thatls why I decided to pursue my studies at UM. LUITY LU I got my 8.8. degree in Electronic Engineering from Harbin Engineering University. I then tried to work on a MS. degree in the area of Electronics. I spent nearly one year there and figured out a job-oriented program was not what I wanted. I dropped out of the program and applied for PhD study here. During my undergraduate years, I attended a one-year exchange study program at the University of Electro-Communications in Tokyo, Japan. Working with people from all over the world, I became aware that I could seek a first- class education overseas. In my opinion, life is all about choices and joining the U was a really exciting choice for me. Graduate Orientation 021 LIFESTYLES Tailgating is a serious matter at rivalry games A year of major rivalry games and in true Cane style, tailgating played a huge role in the competition. For the home game against Florida State University and the away game against Ohio State Univeristy, fans tailgated to the fullest extent. At the Rathskeiier's tailgate for OSU, crowds began to assemble more than hours before game time. By the time the doors opened an hour later, the crowds at each door reached beyond the Rat Patio and onto the path around the lake. Each student eagerly pushed in, hoping to get the best seat for the game Which was projected onto a 157foot screen inside the building. ttEveryonets a little crazy, but I can make two to two and a half days' worth of money in one game, Dominic Castillejo, senior and Rat server, said. HI worked every away game last season and those were crazy enough already. This game is ridiculous.

This is the most intense tailgate I've ever been to, Sam Flanagan, junior, said. There's a pool of beer over there. How do you even compare to that?' Seminole and Hurricane fans pitched tents next to each other throughout the parking lot.

Rather than emptying the stadium when a loss was imminent, they instead stayed the full course singing the Alma Mater at the end. llReal fans stay till the very end. We here at FEC are proud of our Canes spirit, Cruz said. Amid all the Chaos, the organization strove to make sure their traditions were kept intact.

The energetic Club seniors, led by a Cheerful president, Mauricio Abascal, still took the field. llWe will bleed orange and green until the day we die, Abascal said. Other senior club members agreed that the loss had no impact whatsoever. l'No matter what, were always going to cheer for our Canes, Romy Portuondo, senior, said. Our love for our alma mater is much deeper than just one football season. There are no bandwagon fans in FEC. As the game came to an end, paint-colored sweat dripped from their faces, grease smudged off their fingers and spirited shrieks echoed from their lungs. These seniors were proud to carry on the spirit of the FEC family they had called home for four years. For those who encountered the organization it came as no surprise that the club motto, lQue siga la tradicibn' - let the tradition live onl- has held strong since 1967.

Annual events veered off the usual path of social events and instead showcased the local diversity and Vibrant culture Heading into the Fall semester, Miamians flocked to Bayfront Park to watch H35 teams unsuccessfully defy gravity in the Red Bull Flugtag competition, The competition featured makeshift Hhomemade, human-powered flying machines, according to the event website Junior Ingrid Meira was among 85,000 people Who watched in anticipation as the teams launched their creations off a ramp, 30efeet-tall. erhey flew a lot farther than I thought; it was definitely worth the wait in the sunk Meira said. Speaking of sun, that's all senior Noli Diaz needed to enjoy the KISS Country Chili Cook- Off this past spring. The country music always warms my heart, and so does homemade chili, Diaz said. Also, the weather was perfect that day. H From good eatinl and chilled brews at the cook-off to top-quality exhibitions and the Deco District, at Art Basel, Miami ceased to amaze with its array of cultural events. South Beach was the home to an exclusive collection of over 250 leading art galleries. Sophomore Sarah Brown-Cohen felt the presence of the rich and famous during her visit to the glitzy four-day event. Hlt was breath taking; the galleries, the limelight, the energy, I felt like I was famous, even though the cameras weren't rolling on me? Brown-Cohen said. Another well-known four-day event is the annual South Beach Wine and Food Festival. The personalities featured included celebrity chefs Rachel Ray, Bobby Play and Guy Fieri. The crowd favorite, however, was Paula Deen. Paula was so sweet; you got to love her southern accent and hospitality, Alexander Herrera, junior, said. It was surreal to see her. But, it was the sold-out Ultra Music Festival that grabbed the attention of most students. Ultra, a three-day conference featuring the best and brightest of the electronic, house, trance and techno music scene always causes a stir amongst the student body. The buzz usually revolved around the dangerous crowds, widespread drug usage, over-the-top outfits and sheer unexpected madness of years past. Sophomore Israel M011 is quick to give insightful advice to future Ultra goers There were thousands of people as far as the eye can see all three days of the event, the best times to go though were definitely early in the day because of the amount of people at the stages lwasl significantly less, Moll said. My advice to those going next year would be to travel light and hydrate before hand as well as during the event? Jackie Skevin, a sophomore, attended for the energetic atmosphere; she was participating in the music festival for her third year in a row. 'll went all three days! llove electronica music and the whole atmosphere of the event. the music the dancing, the unity, itls wild and crazy, Skevin said. The elusive aura that surrounded Ultra for years is what pushed many like Moll to attend year after year. The wild, out-of-control reputation of the event kept people interested in coming back for more. HNo one at Ultra is out to get you or do harm so therels no need to worry about that kind of stuff; ignorance has put such a negative spin on Ultra it's definitely something that needs to be Changed, Moll said.

LIFESTYLES Halloween becomes an excuse to socialize rather than collect candy Halloween is a coming of age holiday. From infancy to adolescence, kids paraded around neighborhoods in their costumes. Poiiteiy, they asked for candy as old people pinched their cheeks and gawked at how cute they were. In college, chte't cats became HsexyH kittens and the attention shifted from collecting candy to finding the hottest place to triok-or- treat. The options were endless. HI am always leaving things for the last minute, I could have gone to a house party or taken my little brother triok-or-treating but instead I hit the grovef Kenneth Garcia, senior, said. Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights celebrated its 20th anniversary by paying homage to its classic characterseJack the clown, the Caretaker, the Storyteller, the Director and the Ushereusing each to represent the five aspects of fear: chaos, death, legend, sacrifice and vengeance. This allowed Universal to celebrate the history of Horror Nights while still giving thrill seekers an epic month of adrenaline pumping scares. For junior Daniella Fernandez, her love for horror movies has kept her going back year after year. ttI definitely recommend it Because it's Universal, they create a real world in the park that comes alive around youehaunted houses, scary shows and people waiting to scare you everywhere? Fernandez said. On Halloween night, going to Coconut Grove could be a nightmare and not because of anything scary but because of the sheer volume of people. Hundreds attended parties at off-campus houses and apartments. HGoing to a house party can be so much more fun than going to the Grove or South Beach? Natalie Fleitas, junior, said dressed as a bumblebee for the occasion. HYou don't have to worry about cabs, buying drinks and parking like you do everywhere else, You can also celebrate Halloween by making a trip to Key West for the annual Fantasy Fest ItHabitat for Insanity! was this year's theme and Duvall Street was transformed for the weektong party. Key West is a fun place on a normal day, but during Fantasy Fest the fun is amplified about a hundred times because of the mix of people and cultures that are exhibited, Maya Buteri, senior, said. Whether in a life-like haunted house in Orlando, a wild and wacky festival in the Keys or just a few blocks from campus, Halloween celebrations continued to be a part of college tradition.

Erica Steinmiller Junior w MWMWMM mm 1W Despite being called the fast-paced, tech hungry generation actors still savor the classics and connect to the material A typical fall season for the Ring Theatre included a show stopping musical and a classical Shakespearean production. The artistic directors decided to switch gears and explore other classical playwrights; Henrik Ibsen was at the top of their list. Many students had been exposed to Ibsen in theater history, play analysis and scene study classes and the faculty had been itching to revisit his classical realist vision on the campus stage. H'Hedda Gabler' is a modern woman trapped in the 1890s, Bruce Lecure, director, said. HShe is fiercely independent, a woman raised by a military general with an intense need to control other people. This is her tragic Haw, a flaw that remains tragic today? In spite of reality W.

IKShe wants something more than the pedestrian humdrurn of everyday living I think everyone can relate to that, Brian Detlefs, senior, said. The Ring Theatre also introduced audiences to their interpretation of the satirical comedy musical, Urinetown. In the play, characters must Hpay to pee, a satire of the legal system, capitalism and social irresponsibility. Once again, the themes were not difficult for the audiences and performers to relate to. 'tPersonaIIy, as an acting major, I felt blessed to be given a chance in a musical, Nicholas Ley, sophomore, said. It gave me the opportunity to demonstrate my dedication and work-ethic as well as develop my musical skills and grow as a performer In contrast with Hedda Gabbler, Urinetown presented a futuristic world in which large corporations took advantage of the working class. It gave the performers a Chance to explore the classics while making the comedic actions their own creation. IIWe were encouraged by our voice coach to stop listening to the soundtrack, It halted our creativity to listen to another castts version of the music instead of finding nuances that made the music our own, Ley said. To draw audiences into these cIassicaI-realist and satiricaI-futuristic worlds, the crew had to do their best to make the scenery and costumes look accurate. Junior Megan Moran had the responsibility of being the Wardrobe Assistant and a make-up artist during Hedda Gabbler. HWe had to fully change the Judge into a five-piece tux with vest, shoes, Spats and bow tie in 20 seconds, The costume designers Hrigj' the shirts so they appear buttoned, but are actually veIcroedN Moran said.

Watching cancer survivors and fighters from our campus walk around the lap really touched me. It was hard to hold back tears when Scott McNeil shared his story about his battle against brain cancer It made me realize at the start of the day just what Relay for Life was about? McNeil has gone through several surgeries since his diagnosis and finds the time to inspire his community to give back, while finishing his major in psychology. His book When you think you got it bad was released the same day as his graduation, May 13. Boucher, team captain for the Association of Commuter Students, oversaw the team participation, on-site fundraiser and made sure that there was always a member walking the track throughout the event. Hlt turned out to be one of the most enjoyable days I have ever experienced, Boucher saidi HFrom the start of the day to the Luminaria Ceremony at night, it was a nonstop ride filled with fun, tears and more importantly, friends.

YOU'RE A VEGAN As the push for environmental awareness and animal rights continues, vegans are taking center stage with the help of celebrities like Natalie Portman and Alicia Silverstone. Going vegan is difficult, especially after years of being a carnivore. Fortunately, there are a multitude of packaged foods that are already vegan friendly that can help ease the transition. Starting with the most important meal of the day, some of the most popular and kid-friendly cereals are surprisingly vegan, even the ones parents don't always let their kids eat like Capln Crunch Peanut Butter, Cocoa Puffs, Froot Loops and Reesels Peanut Butter Puffs. Need a midday energy rush to get you through the rest of work? Red Bull and Monster energy drinks are vegan friendly. The main ingredient in both drinks is taurine, which people assume comes from bulls, but both actually use a synthetic version, making both energy drinks vegan friendly. Vegans can even go all out on Halloween with a variety of candy. Blow Pops, Dots, Fireballs, Ring Pops, Swedish Fish and Sour Patch Kids are all considered vegan. Being vegan dedication and self-restraint, except when it comes to these snacks.

For the closing ceremonies the monks deconstructed the mandala, pouring half of the colored sand into the lake to bless the waters. Following hug the lake, the monks led a prayer ceremony, blessing the school, the sand and the people in attendance. Then they led a procession towards the lake, where the sand was dumped into the water. tlThey are so gracious and caring, it was inspirational to be a part of this experience?

Senior Heath Saunders, junior Trent Saunders and freshman Alanna Saunders were three siblings from Seattle who shared a passion for theater and were all in the Theater Conservatory program. Though the constant connection seemed that it would strain any sibling bond, it actually made the younger siblings feel more comfortable and connected. 'The main reason I came here and felt so comfortable being so far away from home was because of my brothers, Alanna said. Heath also enjoyed working closely with his siblings both in class and in productions. HMany people have a hard time imagining working with siblings, but my four siblings are so close in age that I have a harder time imagining not ever working with them, it Heath said. Trent, on the other hand, was not sure that he wanted to attend the same institution as his brother and sister for fear of pressuring others. I t ttlf anything, it almost made me stray away from UM because I didn't want to pressure Heath into anything, Trent said. Though Alanna had not performed with her siblings, Heath and Trent had performed together in the Ring Theatre in plays like RENT and Smokey Joe's Cafe . Because the siblings were in the same conservatory, they competed against one another for limited roles. HThere have been two times in my life where I have had to go out for the same part as Heath. But I never really feel like we're compared, Trent said. The siblings also performed together outside of the Ring Theatre. Heath, Trent and Alanna, along with their two other siblings Blake and Claire, perform original pop and R8cB music in their self-created group Batch.

By taking the time to traverse the University, anyone could get a feel for the multitude of nationalities and backgrounds that contribute to the swag that comprises a Cane. In meeting others, they hoped to foster understanding and promote tolerance by gaining a working knowledge of cultural differences as well as the universal similarities that characterize the U. In essence, this path, and for that matter any means of exploring the campus, is a step on the road to understanding. Only once we learn to celebrate the cultural differences of our peers can we hope to live in a more beautiful world free of intolerance and ignorance.

Attendees hail from more than 1 17 different nations ranging from Pakistan to Peru. One Monday afternoon I ventured on our sidewalks to find out what it is about Miami that attracts people from near and far. I started my journey at Richter Library and ran into Dominique Riofrio while she read on one of the wooden benches between the palm trees. In a pronounced Spanish accent, Riofrio shared with me that she was a senior from Ecuador. I then wondered how a teen from Ecuador hears about an institution thousands of miles away. Riofrio told me that her older brother had attended and she was simply following in his footsteps. Directly across the pathway from Riofrio on another wooden bench sat Lotus Ma and Richie Sun, both freshmen from China. They didntt seem have much to do and were just enjoying the sunshine and chatting, HI came here for the hot, nice weather, Sun said. 'And I think the American education is very powerful. 'J The days where you have to slide on your rain boots are not forgotten, but overall, the warm southern climate seems to be a common denominator that brings people from all over the globe.

Sanchez has been a 'Canes fan for a long time and the school on his college radar III've been wanting to go here since forever, Sanchez said. Khan, on the other hand, wants to be a doctor and believes the medical program is the best in Florida. When I walk across campus and hear people holding conversations in French, Spanish, Arabic and Chinese, I sometimes forget that there are so many students who are originally from Florida. Jessica Valdez, a freshman from Miami, Chose to stay close to home and study at the School of Communication. After I met Valdez, I made my way over to the Memorial Building. It was 2 pm. and students were either on their cell phones, scrolling through their iPods or trying to fit in some last minute reading before heading to class, but April Barresi sat away from the bustle on the first floor patio under the Cosford Cinema. Barresi, a sophomore, transferred from Monmouth University located in her home state of New jersey. She felt encouraged to transfer when her family moved down here Iast year. In the final few minutes before Class time, I bumped into Cody Pace, a junior from New York, outside of the Memorial Building. He is one student who is not afraid to admit he was sold on the looks of our campus. ttOur campus looks Iike a resort, Pace said. If it were a resort, I am sure freshman Lauren Cherry from Atlanta wouId love to take a relaxing break from her intense biomedical engineering major. Cherry, along with junior Melissa White from Orlando, whom I met as I made my way to Mahoney Residential College, chose to attend specifically because of the biomedical engineering program. White was spotted with Kira Munzenrnaier, her HIittIe sistertt from Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. Munzenrnaier, a freshman from Connecticut enrolled because her brother is here. Also in front of Mahoney Residential College Adrian Rossetti was one of the exchange students who study abroad from Australia, Rossetti Iiked that it was a big school and was looking to experience football, a sport they do not have down under. HI knew Miami was a safe bet for everything I wanted, H Rossetti said. Alex Summa and Kapil Gupta were aIso hanging out by Mahoney, both looked as though they had just returned from class and greeted one another with a high five. Summa, a sophomore originally from Missouri started college at Florida International University then decided to transfer Gupta, a sophomore from Ft. Lauderdale, did not want to abandon the nice Florida weather. After I left Mahoney, I passed by the pool and met swimmer Sofia Johansson, a sophomore from Sweden.

The Miss University of Miami pageant was more than the typical contest of aestheic appeal, but instead a pageant full of talented women. Affiliated with Miss America, the winner would go on to compete in Miss Florida and potentially would be in the Miss America pageant. Fifteen beautiful ladies cascaded on to the main stage of Gusman Concert Hall. The show started off with a shimmy and the contestants performed a group opening number to introduce themselves. The contestants were evaluated by a panel of five judges based on lifestyle and fitness, artistic expression, presence and poise. The talent portion had the most weight during the final score. Talent this year included saxophone and vocal performances, acting, dancing, spoken word and an exhibit of handmade garments. For the poise portion of the competition the ladies were asked to answer a question selected at random out of a fishbowl on the stage Contestant number 10 Azah Awasum was asked what she would call her very own reality TV show. lllt definitely would be called the crazy, amazing life of Azah, Awasum, junior, said. Other contestants were asked questions regarding female empowerment, the charities that they supported, as well as, other causes and current events. The contestants also modeled formal wear and gracefully waltzed around the stage for the judges and audience. The formalwear portion of the pageant is the contestants last chance to impress the judges. After the last contestant walked off the stage the judge's scores were tallied up and the top five ladies were chosen. The scores were based on the total from all the categories. For each section of the competition judges scored the contestants with a number from one through 10, Then the scores were averaged to determine the competitors final score. After the long wait for the results the judges were provided with the list of the top five scoring girls The women then ranked the remaining five contestants based on their overall performance.

H By Nancy Oben Miss University of Miami 023 , Experience the globe without a suitcase Those on a budget rarely get to travel the world and experience all of the vibrant and distinct cultures around the globe. Luckily, the Council of International Students and Organizations tCOISOi provided students with the opportunity to experience the Havors of the world during IeWeek, or international week, the annual event that took over the UC Patio and allowed students to share their traditions with their peers. With its culturally authentic offerings, I-Week was a haven for those with a global palette and a thirst for cultural knowledge. Moreover, for those who enjoy a little drama, the theme was iiAll The World's A Stage. Each night of the week incorporated the distinct culture of a world region with an interpretation of five different Shakespearean works with a twist of culture to tell the story. With such a diverse student population, it's no wonder that COISO is comprised of over 20 different student organizations and each one is represented throughout the five nights of IeWeek festivities. KTWeek's major goal is essentially the same mission as COISOis, Rudy Hernandez, COISO treasurer, said. HWe want to allow students to experience a culture they are not a part of. This years festivities began with European night, where the evenings play was HMacbeth, Shakespeare's medieval tragedy about the death of the King of Scotland, After excluding the continent for several years, COISO decided to include Europe in the weeks festivities because of the growing local European community. The German Club served riorie alcoholic beer, reinforcing beer's important place in the history of many countries in Europe, most notably Germany. The variety of performances also mirrored the diversity of the continent. Professional ballroom dancers burned up the stage with their elegant Viennese Waltz and a passionate and engaging flamenco, while a harpist from the Frost School of Music soothed the crowd with his melhtiuous sounds Continued on page 076 INTERESTING FACTS Europe stands as the second smallest continent, approximately 2 percent of the Earth's surface.

The most exciting night of the week was Caribbean Night, celebrating the island nations and their residents, many of whom are right here on campus COISO board member and Caribbean Night chair freshman Teviri Wilson took the stage early to do a roll call of each island.

Women wear ghaghra choli, a three-piece dress made of cotton with beads, shells, mirrors, sitars and embroidery work tucked in the traditional Gujarati form. 1A Men wear kafni pyjamas with a kediyu, a long shirt that falls just above the knees and a pagadi on the head. The word Garba comes from the Sanskrit word for gestation or pregnancy. Traditionally, the dance is performed around a clay lantern with a light inside, called a Garbha Deep.

It was like walking through a beach resort, complete with swaying palm trees and sparkling fountains. New improvements were made everyday to keep the school looking beautiful. Alterations to campus construction brought in a sea of aesthetic improvements for all to enjoy. The most anticipated change was the unveiling of the new additions to the Patti and Allan Herbert Wellness Center, one of the most frequented spots on campus. In addition to the Wellness Center's makeover it also celebrated its 15th anniversary. The additions included a Pilates studio, a cycling studio, two more multipurpose rooms for instructional programs, more hand weights and new treadmill and elliptical machines. The new Wellness Center gym is amazing and was well worth the wait, Jerome Mulloor, sophomore, said. The new equipment and 1 :. l t machines are fantastic and they provide a great way to stay in shape. The University Center also underwent a massive renovation. The International Lounge closed off as new windows, elevators and floors were put in. The windows were hurricane proof and were added as a safety precaution. An entire new building was constructed across San Amaro from the baseball stadium, designated the Robert and Judi Prokop N ewrnan Alumni Center. Conceptualized by the Alumni Association, this haven for graduates offers a multipurpose room for meetings and celebrations, a living room for informal gatherings, a library that archives yearbooks and materials written by alumni and most notably, Sebastian's Cafe, featuring a light bistro-style fare. As new places were built, others were demolished. The apartment area that housed thousands closed in the spring. The oldest on-carnpus residences, originally created for t M , i a . m married students, were deemed unfit by University standards.

Photo courtesy Ring Theatre Evolution of the round at the Ring Theatre With a history of performances in circus tents in the 1940s and training allied navigators during World War 11, the Jerry Herman Ring Theatre has seen its share of stages and changes. Before being named after the world- renowned Broadway composer, lyricist and Class of 1953 a1umnus,Jerry Herman, the Ring Theatre was dubbed so after its first Hin-the- round'l performance. The current building that is on campus today was constructed in 1951 and underwent a huge renovation in the 1990s The charm of the ring comes from the t1exibility in its seating arrangements. The three main configurations are the thrust, in which the stage is literally thrust towards the crowd with the audience on three sides, the traditional proscenium staging and the arena staging, the classic in-the-round. The Rings Spring season started with two plays that rotated performance nights and were both performed in the arena staging. Lysistrata is a comical ancient Greek play about soidiers' wives joining forces to withhold sexual relations until peace is achieved. Big Love is a contemporary account of a Greek play by Aeschylus titled The Suppliant Woman and follows a group of women rebelling against their arranged marriages. HMost season subscribers get a kick out of the arena staging, Paige Martins, junior and box office sales associate, said. There reaily isntt a bad seat in the round. A configuration that hasn't been explored in the Ring in quite a few years was reintroduced for the season's musical performance of Pal Joey. Rather than having the seating in a circle around the stage, this configuration consisted of seating on two sides with the stage in an a11ey-sty1e in between with the bandestand on one side and large scenery on the other, serving as a changing space and storage area for tables and props. It was proven to be a hit and the theater department will be bringing the arrangement back for the upcoming musical in the Fall season. By Samantha GJ'tJJ'tz Love, Sex and Greek Tragedy Both Lysistrata and Big Love deal with a battle of the sexes. They include strong themes of power, deal with war and peace and both cell for poetic language and unique physical movements. The most striking similarity when seeing both of these shows is the overall mood of the language, Kevin Jones, junior, who played Kinesias in Lysistrata said. They are different, but both poetic and carefully written. They differ in that Big Love is a contemporary adaption of a classical play, while Lysistrata is in its original form, despite the English translation. incense was used only in Lysistrata and the costumes, which included metallic strap- on genitalia and breasts, were the topic of funny conversations and uneasy complaints. The costumes were actually more vulgar in the plays original performances in ancient Greece, but some of todays guests had mixed feelings about the raunch. tit really just comes down to a difference in social context, but when done well, this sort of humor attracts a surprising amount of people, Jones said. We were all terrified that the guests would be disgusted and leave the show mid-way through, but we were pleasantly surprised with the positive response that the jokes got. I think people just like being allowed to laugh at that sort of thing?

FOCUS, MAN Blocking out the noise. freshman Anthony Lopez zones in on the details. With major projects, extensive research and model building, the first year in the architecture program can be a daunting experience. During their first semester, Professor Oscar Machado assigned a project that was both personal and challenging: a hometown map. The objective was to introduce itheml to architecture and move forward with their first real project. They got to study proportion and design for the first time, Brandy Wyskocil, a teaching assistant, said. To the budding architects, however, it was much more than a lesson in architectural fundamentals. Hit was fun and interesting, Heshmen design hometown maps and get to know each others creative style Timothy Keating, freshman, said. iiitisj a good exercise to get to know your classmates? A unique aspect of the project was that there were no restrictions on what they could create - it was their personal testament to where they lived and grew up. The first-years gained more from the project than just the chance to get introduced to architecture. They got the opportunity to share each of their cultures. N Ht helped usJ to understand where everyoneis from, how everyone expresses their design or creative style and to get to know everyone better, Jessica Tsiris, freshman, said. Tsiris modeled her map after her hometown of Athens, Greece, complete with a statue of the goddess of Athena, in both past and present forms and a depiction of how the Parthenon has changed over time. Another hometown map depicted a military base in sophomore Mike D'Alessandrois 1.5-mi1e-lor1g hometown, complete with a fighter jet above a lighthouse. iTWe developedl the techniques that go into building a project like this, D'Alessandro said. Techniques such as inking, or outlining the entire map and designing everything in proportion.

'The worst project was last semester when I had seven hours of sleep in five days, H Ashley Drake. junior, said. HAIld only one of those hours were on a real bed. The rest were either on one of our studio tables or in between two stools. Sleep deprivation was the most extreme the week before their biggest project was due, The program is based on long-term assignments. These projects were usually done with a partner and were based on real life buildings and scenarios. Right now, the third year is working on a maritime museum at Bicentennial Park? Lauren Toribio, junior, said. HI think that creating a museum is an interesting program and very exciting to work on. Projects were assigned based on students' year in the program. Other grades were working cafes in South Beach. Almost all of the work was done in the studio where students were assigned a workspace for the LATE NIGHT NECESSITES Working in an architecture studio all day and night requires students to be prepared for the long haul.

RIBS There are 24 ribs, 14 true ribs, six false ribs 0 and four floating ribs. HUMERUS The humerus is one of the three arm bones which also include the radius and ulna. CARPALS There are eight carpals, they are connected to the metacarpals which are connected to the phalanges. VERTEBRAL COLUMN The vertebral column contains seven cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae and five lumbar vertebrae. OS COXA One half of the pelvis is called the os coxa and it has three 0 parts, the illium, the ischium and the pubis. KNOWING THE BASICS Forensic Anthropology was broken into two parts, human osteology and forensic anthropology. During osteology, students were required to learn all 206 bones of the body and their various landmarks and features. In forensic anthropology, students put their knowledge of the bones to use in determining cause and manner of death by examining trauma markers on the bones. Techniques used can assist in the recovery of remains, asses age, sex, stature, ancestry and analyze trauma and disease. Forensic anthropologists and homicide investigators use this information to identify a decedent and determine postmortem interval. By Tanya Thompson and Liliana Oyarzun WWWWWMJM.

This was the signal at the gun range that meant someone was about to fire their weapon and everyone else needed to be aware and step out of range. But those gathered at this particular range on a Sunday afternoon in February were not second- amendment supporting, recreational gun-totersl They were forensic anthropology students and the range served as their outdoor classroom. IlWhen I signed up for anthropology as my second major I went online and looked at all the classes that were available and this is one of the classes that really jumped out at me because I like watching all those crime scene investigation shows AFETY FIRST Before starting the gun fire test, sophomore Katie Welch, senior Ashley Bowen, Professor Monica Faraldo, guest lecturer Ralph Garcia and junior Sara Johnson heed to be aware of all the safety requirements and hazards. Photo by Tanya Thompson like CSI and Bones, Tanya Thompson, senior, said. Thompson was looking for a way to learn more about the work detectives do at crime scenes For this particular project, students were testing out the effects of different weapons on the human body. lllt also allowed us to see exactly what people in the field see I mean obviously we were just shooting into a tissue-like substance but it allowed us to see what could possibly happen when a bullet hits a body, Melissa White, sophomore, said. The class was the second part of a two-part course that took place over fall and spring semester. The first half dealt mainly with osteology arid the second with fieldwork. Trips to places like the gun range enhanced the coursework. VERTA-CRAZE Holding the bone, sophomore Melissa White determines what the dot shows.

I got to see what really happens to the bullet after it is shot. The bullet breaks away from the jacket and gets smushed. For some, taking the course influenced their career choices and aspirations for the future. HI am considering going to graduate school for anthropology, White said. IIIt is somewhat overlapping because I'm a biomedical engineering major and that looks at how motions with your body affect your bones.

Nutsugah had done most of her art concentration in oil painting, but she wanted to try out a new medium. She was working on an illustration of a t'Shaole Girlf' whose human form possesses the appendages of animals and magical creatures. Silkscreen was a methodical, structured process that built a completed color image using a series of colored layers. Fine arts students found silkscreen to be a highly interactive medium that used 3D design to produce a 2D product. lll am hands-on with all of them. I believe that individual classes make learning personal and make me feel more connected with my students than other lecturers, Shapton said. Shapton, a graduate from Southern Illinois University, had been silk screening since 2002. Silkscreen was just one of the many hard arts classes offered by the Fine Arts Department. Through hands-on Classes young artists are able to escape the m HMy art classes are my escape. I learn a lot more in a hands-on setting than in a lecture hall? Rebecca Bauer, junior, said. Bauer worked as a student staff photographer for the admissions marketing department. Her photos were featured on the university website. Her silkscreen project was based on Fundenogek, a lesser- known character in the Brothers Grimm Fairytales. The Fine Arts Department offered similar tlhard art! classes in glassblowing, ceramics, sculpture and clay There was a constant exchange between students in the llsoft arts concentration, which College of Arts and Sciences A undane lecture hall covered painting, figure drawing and photography, and those concentrating in the Hhard arts? You have to totally switch gears, Remi Bordes, senior, said. lllt's difficult, but rewarding in the end. While it appeared that female students tended to enroll in art courses more than male students, the Art Department encouraged any student with a creative mind and willingness to learn something new to enroll in these interesting and rewarding art Classes. Students found them to be not only educational but therapeutic and artistically enriching.

Those in the pre-rned track were not just biology majors. They were biology majors with a minor in chemistry, who had to take physics classes, as well as calculus one and two, not to mention fulfilling general education requirements like English and the humanities. llSome of the classes can be really hard and boring, and I sit there thinking How am I going to use this in med school?! But it's all just to build background knowledge for becoming a doctor, Alexina Clarke, junior, said. With rigorous courses came the demand to sacrifice personal time doing lengthy weekly assignments that took anywhere from five to seven hours according to Clarke. junior pre-rned student Laurent Augustin said that preparing for tests could require studying for a week in advance. That is, he spent a week studying if he could steal enough time away from studying for his other classes. HMy weekends are usually spent studying and worrying about exams. There's barely any time for leisurely activitiesf' Augustin said Augustin said organic chemistry was the 'bane of his existenceJ' while Clarke tended to have trouble with physics. Both agreed that most in the pre-rned track would eventually end up seeing a tutor for at least one of their classes. Many wondered why anyone would willingly submit themselves to such a demanding track. F or Clarke it was the desire to help out as she was helped out the many times she was a patient when she was younger. Hln the pre-med track you're just desperate to get out and go to med school to do what you care about. It sucks now, but it's going to be fun in the futurejl Clarke said. College in itself was an accomplishment, but those pre-rned kids deserve an added applause; kudos for being able to do more than most of were willing to.

In October, they visited Wall Streets major investment banks and other leading firms. ti am very appreciative of the opportunity the scholarship provided us, Jakub Hejl, junior, said. tiltis really hard to establish networks on Wall Street and get a job out there, so we really need this. The Wall Street trip provided participants with an interactive experience with a variety of banks and firms and allowed them to network and establish relationships with companies they might work for in the future. Students proved their skills by creating projects and presenting them to the financial departments in the companies they visited. uThey were very pleased with the University of Miamiis students overall, Clarissa Carlucci, freshman, said. tit was a wonderful hands-on experience that was very intense; a lot of hard work, but definitely worth it?

FIRST is an acronym developed by the school. It stands for Freshman Integrity, Responsibility and Success through Teamwork. H Ht'si a program bridging culture, race and gender, allowing students to see each other in a different light? Ellen McPhiilip, Assistant Dean in the School of Business Administration, said. 'it is their first chance to connect With people their age engaging in hard work. The program emphasized the importance of comorate social responsibility and noted that most companies, especially Fortune 500 companies, contributed to their communities by to be an important part of a career in business giving back through similar outreach programs. For its inaugural event last year, FIRST step participated in community service activities in areas throughout the South Florida area, Where the tasks ranged from picking up trash in local parks to planting trees at an elementary school and even painting near the Miami River. Approaching its second anniversary, FIRST Stepls Business United Day of Service anticipated working on projects in areas such as Overtown or at organizations like Shake-a-Leg- Miami, a nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting the disabled community. The Butler Center helped FIRST Step find their project sites, ensuring that they offered a safe environment for students to work in as they engaged in giving back to local communities. Colby Meyers, a junior in the School of Business Administration, is credited for his dedication and hard work in putting together and organizing the Business United Day of Service With the help of Senior Advisor in the School of Business, Karen Donno. tKWith the support of the School of Business, faculty members and the Butler Center, I was able to make my idea become a reality, H Meyers said. HI had never done any community service before, but once you do it, it becomes like a bug and you want to keep doing it; as long you enjoy it then youire good?! ttStudents don't really do community service on their own, but I feel like once they've been exposed, they learn to appreciate it, Meyers said.

HPlayfarer is a lot more than just the sunglasses. Itis the passion - the reasons Why people buy the sunglasses. People come to us for sunglasses to match their outfit for a pool party or a game - Its all about the context, Goldfaden said. What many people 010th realize is Goldfaden's commitment to philanthropy. Capitalizing on his business' accomplishments, Playfarer has reached new levels by teaming up with organizations on campus to raise money for various charities, including UM Wishmakers, the Judy Fund for Alzheimer's and the American Cancer Society. We want students to lmow that every time they see us in the breezeway its because we're looking to help? Goldfaden said. Intent on growing and continuing to give back, Goldfaden plans to take Playfarer to new heights by expanding his product line and launching a newer, better website.

PROFESSIONAL UNIQUENESS When you think of selling, your mind likely drifts to that classic image of the cheesy salesperson urging you to check out the latest retail product. Professional Selling, however, is not your typical salesperson-in-training class, creating a challenge for all. Professional Selling, or MKT 340, is instead a one-of-a-kind marketing class; itis professor, Ian Scharf, shows what they really need to know. itWhat makes MKT 340 so unique is that Professor Ian Scharf teaches students material that will be really helpful after college? Michele Weinberger, senior, said. tiThe final project in this class was to pick a partner and sell a product or service to them and then have them sell to you? Tara Queler, senior, said. nMaking up the iassignmenti script yourself was beneficial because you learned how to explain what type of business you were in, how to handle objections and how to ask for referrals. In addition to his full-time job, Professor Scharf also boasts a plethora of real world experience, arrives dressed in a suit and ready to teach as soon as class starts. Course preparation for MKT 340 vastly differs as well. Students don't need to use the book to study. Students study from their notes they took in class, Weinberger said. it is the real world application that ultimately sets this course apart from the rest. Michele Weinberger says that she will miss the class sessions, and will forever remember the lessons. in other marketing classes live taken, i had to memorize terms and concepts for the test that I most likely wonit need to use again. in 340 lhoweverl, concepts such as tips for interviewing, building relationships, responding to different personality types and interpreting information styles will help me forever.

The theme centered on the prospective new ways people would find to interact with one another in the years to come. Recently, communication underwent massive changes with the popularity of social media and the rise of the Internet. Professors, realizing the importance of adapting to new technology, integrated these changes into their academic curriculum. Throughout the week, the school played host to award-winning assistant directors, journalists, filmmakers, producers, advertisers, video game writers, public relations professionals, art directors and many ALL THE BRIGHT LIGHTS Assistant cameraman, junior Eric Taggart works on finding the perfect angle to set the lights during filming. more talented individuals. Students were able to attend the various panels, ask questions and talk with the guest speakers. Not only did they learn a lot, but it was also a perfect networking opportunity for those hoping to break into the business. One of the most unique events of the week was the Cosford Cinema screening of the rare 19208 silent film llThe Flying Ace, With musical accompaniment. The film, which had been digitally restored by the Library of Congress, offered viewers a glimpse into the world of communication that took place more than 80 years ago. Who knows what the future will hold for the world of communication? By Brooke Lemaire ,M , M A BLOCKING Ravi Smith, sophomores Rick Troutner and Paul Napoli practice a scene. SOUND CHECK The sound man, freshman Ziggy Baren, watches a scene. Film majors learn to create the magic of the movies Act I, Scene 11. Noon. Film majors check out equipment from the School of Communication. They spend an hour positioning the camera, putting up the lights and getting the actors ready for the shot. They do several takes of the same scene, They take the equipment apart and move to a new location, where they must set it up all over again. They take several shots of a new scene. The process repeats. It's now 7 pm The film equipment gets returned and they head to the computer lab to watch their work and begin the editing process. N o matter what time of day it was, motion picture majors never took a break. They were always thinking of new ideas and coordinating the logistics of their current projects. They had keen eyes through which they saw the world and captured it through the lens of a camera. The N orton Herrick Center for Motion Picture Studies was named and it served as a hub of lectures, seminars and workshops for those thirsting for knowledge about the world of film. Over 3000 films and television shows were donated to the center for students to watch, study and discuss. They learn a very simplified glimpse of the film making process. During pre-production all of the logistics were mapped out. This included setting a budget, checking what the weather would be like for outdoor shoots, creating a schedule of when scenes would be shot and checking countless other details to make sure the filming went smoothly. During production, all of the scenes were shot at the various locations. During post-production, the shots were edited, the music was added and copies of the film were produced. A range of classes were offerred in order to prepare students for industry work. There were theoretical ones, such as the Business of Motion Pictures course taught by Dr. Paul Lazarus, as well as practical ones like the Sound and Postproduction class taught by Dr. Jeffrey Stern. If filrn majors only took away one thing from the program, it would likely be that ltfilrn is inherently collaborative and not the work of a single artistf Dr. Lazarus said. Armed with theoretical loiowleolge and ingrained with the need for each film to be a collaborative effort, students were sent out to shoot their own original projects in teams. Those who were truly dedicated joined UFilrn Studios, the on-carnpus student organization that focused on making and discussing movies. They also coordinated the Canes Film Festival that screened student produced, directed and edited films at the end of the academic year. Freshman motion picture major Danny Cepero has already taken Survey of Motion Pictures, Introduction to Scriptwriting and various digital production classes. In just one year, he wrote webisodes and 20-page scripts, learned how to work a Panasonic camera and edited films on Final Cut Pro, an editing software for Macs. lMy favorite part1 is the room for creativity and how helpful the teachers are in facilitating your creative outputJ' Cepero said To keep up with changing technology the program switched from film to digital. HIth awesome? Cepero said. tlDigital is so much easier. H Film was an ever-Changing medium that required a constantly updated curriculum to ensure graduates were prepared to go into the industry. Despite this, film continued to bridge the gaps between cultures, shed light on societal issues and make us smile.

Within minutes athletic trainers were by his side, ready to treat the fallen quarterback. Athletic training may be one of the most important aspects of the sports industry and the athletic training program in the School of Education prepared students for the field. Student trainers learned how to treat medical injuries that athletes may suffer. A certified athletic trainer worked with physicians to diagnose, prevent and cure medical conditions. While fulfilling 1000 required training hours for the program, students gained Clinical experience in multiple fields. Elise Cataldo, junior, who worked with the football team, had responsibilities in every aspect of the football season from games to practices to summer training camp. HMy favorite thing is the rehab process where you get to help athletes recover from injuries and surgeries to get them back to competition, Cataldo said. Aside from the hands-on experience that Cataldo received, she also gained medical and health knowledge that could be utilized in many other aspects of an athletic training career as well as for treating sports emergencies.

Cournoyer was in charge of watching the defensive line for severe cramps, hydration, concussions and injuries. HThese responsibilities are actually exactly what I lovef Cournoyer said. HI love the experience of being on the football field, and seeing the guys run out of the smoke, celebrating with them as they get a great play, but the trust that you get when someone really needs help is the true greatness of this major. H Football wasn't the only sport that required trainers though. Nancy Melnyk worked with the menls basketball team throughout the year. Melnyk helped the players get ready for practices and games through taping and corrective exercises, When one of the players got injured, either she or one of the other men's basketball trainers was responsible for developing a rehab program for the player.

But basketball was also a fan favorite and required the dedication of skilled athletic training students. Senior Nancy Melnyk often worked in the athletic training facility to help players improve things like strength, agility and flexibility. Melnyk often designed the exercises herself and tailored them to the needs of each individual athlete. In doing so she was able to practice her skills for her future career and hone the techniques that she had previously learned in class. The experience is one that she said had a profound impact on her academic career and greatly worked to supplement the knowledge she acquired in her textbooks and class lecture.

A practicum is essentially work experience at a nonprofit organization. This semester, students worked for organizations including Shake-A-Leg Miami, Project Hope and Art Studio Miami. Through the seminar, participants discussed their experiences from the past week. Sometimes students report that they have intense learning experiences and they are excited to share their accomplishments? Victoria Magill said. nBut other times, the experiences can be very stressful and overwhelming. The feedback and support was greatly helpful, and could be used at their practicums to make their work more successful. For Deborah Perez, who completed her practicum at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Miami, one of the greatest benefits was the platform for a discussion of her future beyond the classroom. uThis class provides us with the opportunity to explore ourselves as developing professionals, identifying our strengths, interests and where our future endeavors may lead us, Perez said.

The competitors worked through four objectives. They created case studies and organized a final viewing party to help sponsor the racing giant. Out of the four challenges, they came out on top in every single one. This was an outstanding achievement for team leader senior Justin Leiser who said he wanted to work in sports since the early age of two. With him were seniors Alex Bryant, Ethan Alpern, Matt Small and sophomore Luke Schutti As a prize the team received an all expense paid three-day trip to Charlotte to watch the behind the scenes action of the races and meet with marketing representatives; both a fun time and a great networking opportunity. Their strategy for winning was simple; each individual brought something to the table. llAll of us had different strengths, Alpern saidl lljustin is a die hard NASCAR fan, Alex is amazing at Publics Relations, Matt handled our cinematography and Luke being a sophomore brought the fresh energy? Diverse personalities With a passion for sports-adrninistration. plus long hours of preparation were also key to their success. llWe did not want to settle for the college effort, we wanted to go for the professional effort, '1 Leiser said. The highlight of their work was the Viewing party held at Smoke't Southem Kitchen 8: Tap on April 9, which was sponsored by the restaurant, Coca Cola, M8cMs, NASCAR and Homestead Miami Speedway. Small, who was in charge of organizing the event, said their main approach , was to try to expand NASCAR'S language to relate to the average person. Alpern helped create buzz around campus and through the support of Greek Life. Almost everyone who went was there for NASCARW Alperri said. The team had to wait a week for the results to be revealed. The teammates were static, but for Leiser who almost flipped their table out of emotion, winning meant more than receiving recognition for his hard work. It was also in an effort to help promote not only awareness for the sport in Miami, but also Homestead Miami Speed Way which he had worked for. lllf this can lead to us helping them sell a ticket, our job is done?

In February, the national week-Iong celebration of innovation in engineering celebrated its 60th anniversary with the theme Engineers: Pioneers of Tomorrow. Among the various events of the week was the popular Innovation Expo, which featured a jet-engine exhibit, flight simulator demonstrations by members of the US. Air Force, an Xbox Kinect game display and competition demonstrations by the UM Robotics Team. Junior Lauren Marussich, who was involved in hosting the Expo, considered this event a huge success and her favorite of the week. tEngineers often take on a tbehind-the-scenest role and E-Week provides us with visibility and recognition, Marussich said. She understood the significance and impact that E-Week could have on both students and the community. A key function of E-Week is to display to the public the various achievements made by the College of Engineering.

FLYING HIGH Students prepare to launch their carefully designed flying machine into the bay. Four College ofEngineering students earn second place in Red Bull Flugtag A siren echoed among the crowd at Bayfi'ont Park, warning the sunbumed fans that a hurricane was coming. Within seconds, a 12 feet wide Ibis flew 48 feet off the platform and crashed into the bay water. The Red Bull Plugtag brought 35 teams and 85,000 people to downtown Miami on July 10. Created to bring brand awareness to Red Bull. the event was known for ridiculous feats of engineering and energized stupidity. It is a local favorite and in fact attracts many non-college students. But this year the University had a stake in the competition. The College of Engineering entered a team of four students. Alumnus William Hagen, senior Derek Schesser, alumnus Dustin Grin 1', senior Randall Schwartz and professor Guillermo Amador entered into the competition. The HIbis Engineers statted building the structure two weeks before the competition. Hagen and Griner made the plans, while Schwartz and Schesser built it. The major hurdle was transporting it to Bayfront, for this we rented the biggest Uhaul we could find and drove it to the park at 4 am. with the wing sticking up and out of the back of the Uhaul, the other members were in cars watching for branches on U81 Schesser said. The competition required the teams to build a structure that could take flight off of a tall platform. The winner was determined based on the apparatus that stayed in the air the longest and was able to travel the furthest once off the platform. At Bayfront the team energized themselves with three to four Red Bulls each before they took flight. Junior Matthew Foster attended Red Bull Ftugtag with his roommates. the spent the whole summer learning physics and engineering, it was fun to watch it applied in a ridiculous way, Foster said. Foster was one Of over 300 fans, according to the Facebook event, that cheered on the team as they flew into second place over biscayne bay.

What they see, hear and, ultimately, what they know is confined to the broadcasts on news stations. For Engineers Without Borders Hdoing isnt a segment they watch on television; it's their reality. An organization committed to taking on the most challenging projects, EWB strives to bring clean water to distressed communities around the world. They bring together various academic programs, to work on volunteer projects in developing countries. Senior Elizabeth Weintraub is a Latin American Studies major who was initially recruited as a translator. tlThey need non-Engineer majors to deal with language barriers between the community and the group that would come in to do work, Weintraub said. Having people who can understand the emotional needs of the communities they worked with created a cultural connection, More recently, EWB developed irigation systems in Peru for farmers. HWorking on these projects is about coming into a community and wanting to do the most amount of good in the most responsible way, lwhilel maintaining good relations with community, ', Weintraub said. rThe work an organization like EWB did had the ability to not only change entire communities, but positively impact the t t volunteers who were humbled by the AN AMAZE-ING experience.

But for seniors Sophia Amberson and Kait Birgherithal, both marine affairs and policy issues majors, making children smile as they learned about protecting the ocean made it all worthwhile. Ocean Kids, an event centered on marine and environmental awareness, brought children from Earlington Heights Elementary and three other area schools to the campus for a hands-on experience. rotating through events like a squid dissection, a touch tank with aplysia sea slugs and microscopic viewings of plankton. The kids learned about oil spills, hurricane preparedness, recycling, marine mammal rescues and SCUBA diving. Senior Sophia Amberson, a marine affairs and policy issues major, took what she learned in the classroom and applied it to teaching kids about water conservation. 'A lot of what you learn in class is about educating others, Amberson said. So being able to teach marine science is really great? Ocean Kids began in 2008 after professor and advisor Dr. Jill Richardson asked her students if they wanted to set up a marine conservation themed event for local school children. The first Ocean Kids event hosted 100 children and laid the foundations for a great future. This year the event brought in a record 200 participants from Dade County. Its success resulted from the devotion of the volunteers who met every Friday to plan ahead. t'lt was a huge group effort, Co- Chair Kait Birghenthal, senior, said. ttWe all did it because we believe in what were studying and we wanted to spread it to other people. For Amberson the hands-on experience made teaching marine science more engaging. HA lot of times you'll learn about biology, but being able to touch and experience it is what hits it home, Amberson said, Even everyone's favorite ibis joined in on the fun and learning. t'Seeing Sebastian dissect a squid was really funny, Amberson said. At the end of the day, the best part was the educational impact that this one-day event had on the children who attended and participated. These kids arenlt taught that they can go to college? Birghenthal said. To be able to see and feel a college campus, that it's possible for them, is really great? By applying to the Clinton Global Initiative University, the group was able to get support to expand the event to Kuwait and would soon host an Ocean Kids event in the Bahamas. 'tl saw pictures of kids across the world wearing Ocean Kids T-shirts, Birghenthal said. HI can't describe how amazing it is that something we worked on became so tangible. l' By Brooke Lem aire STUDYING IN THE SAND Helping a group of young students, junior Ian Chambers searches through the sand as they learn about different shells and rocks found in the ocean.

Hands exuded sweat, knees were weak and fingers tingled with anticipation. But once the music was delicately plunked out on the black and ivory keys of the piano, singers found their voice and, if they were lucky, a spot in the choir. lll was always involved in music in high school, so even though I'm pre-med, I still wanted to be involved in something musical Mike Maragos, junior and vocalist, said. The audition process was open to anyone and measured the quality of singers in terms of sight-reaolirig ability, vocal range and tonal memory, which involved a proctor playing notes and having to replicate in the right key. The sight-reading was definitely the most difficult. It really tests your nerves, Mandy Spencer, junior, said. The grueling process ensured the singers in the ensembles had the lmowledge and talent required to succeed in the choral program Hit was challenging, but they want the best singers and performers so I can understand why its necessary? Laura Caso, senior, said. University Choral is the most prestigious choir and was the face of the choral studies. Chorale consisted of about 20 singers. Nationally recognized, they sang for the American Choral Director Association. They rehearsed three days a week and went on tour annually and ventured to Spain, HChorale is a lot of work, but the end result of performing is so satisfying, Lara Iglesias, junior, said. The newly established symphonic choir consisted of about 80 singers. They sang mostly large works that they performed alongside the Frost School of Music Orchestra. H tSymphonic choirJ gives students an opportunity to sing these beautiful, massive works that they might not have had, ll Alec Shumacker, Teaching Assistant, said, For Choir members being a part of the ensemble makes them feel like a piece of something larger than life.

After such a hectic schedule many felt the need for a break and though the more conventional majors made their way to the beach or the grove, those enrolled in the Frost School of Music gave taking a break a new twist, Despite the long hours dedicated to theory, for music majors music was always a release. So, they choose to participate in a fun, chill and overall feel good band-- the R8cB Ensemble. Senior Barret Johnson, a singer in the group, described it as her escape. R8cB Ensemble gave me a chance, once a week, to blow off a little steam, Johnson said It was a great stress reliever for me when l was under heavy academic pressure. Neil Carson, a freshman studying jazz saxophone described the Ensemble as a group that played feel-goool music . It played a significant role in his academic curriculum. This ensemble is one of the few that allows me to just release and have a good time, Carson said. For that reason, R8tB Ensemble is very important to me. There was very little time to waste in reaching career goals so the musicians used the ensemble as a way to push themselves to new heights and to further themselves as artists. Senior vocalist Darcell Aniska Smith said being a part of the R8c B ensemble allowed her to explore herself and develop as a performer. Being apart of the R8cB Ensemble helped me get out of my comfort zone and build my repertoire in top 403 music and to interact with the crowd at another level, Smith said. She described it as a learning opportunity where she tasted what awaited her when she pursued a music career. This ensemble is important to all of us because it prepares us for gigging out in the real world, Smith said But performing was also fun. For John Splithoff, performing was all about creating an atmosphere or moment for the audience. 'The ensemble is important because it serves as a vehicle for a lot of fun to ensue on stageX'Splithoff said. Music is all about communication and it's awesome to have the audience feel what is happening on stage? While the seniors said goodbye to their undergraduate adventure they felt the ensemble had instilled a life lesson. ttlt's been a great opportunity working with my fellow peers, Smith saiol This ensemble opened my eyes to always remember where we came from, where we are today and where we are going.

For Laguna it was crucial for her to be able to help whether in elongating someoneis life orjust making it happier. itlf we just make their day better wetve done our job, she said. Her interest in nursing comes from a place close to her heart. The Sloane Kettering Memorial Cancer Center was once a scary place for Laguna whose father attended treatments there when she was 10 years old. But the kindness of the staff made Laguna feel at ease. That is where she hoped to find a job. PATRICK SUAREZ Patrick Suarez was always interested in medicine, but being a doctor lacked the warmth and comfort of the nursing profession. tYou get to be closer to the patient...iit,sl more personalized and less business oriented, Suarez said. I feel like youire helping people a lot more. Many college students struggle with choosing just one field to go into. But for Suarez nursing afforded him the opportunity to keep his options open. With a world of opportunity awaiting him this bachelors degree may not be the end of Suarezis academic journey. He was considering going for a Ph.D. and hoped to one day own his own business. l'd like to open up some type of clinic, Suarez said. JAMIE LANTz Jamie Lantz knew she wanted to work in the healthcare field but was not sure exactly where she fit in. Upon drawing on past experience she decided working with tiny humans made the most sense. I want to work in a pediatric office, Lantz said. Ive been a camp counselor for various summers and l have always had a stronger connection with kids than with adults? As with many other nursing majors there was more involved for Lantz than the capacity to make a difference in a patient's physical health. tOne of the most important things about caring for patients Iis thatl its not just about medicine and treating, Lantz said. tYou need to be there for emotional support and teaching. Nursing majors describe the personal encounters that lead to their careers As undergraduates in the school of nursing, students could select one of six tracks or fields of study. The tracks were traditional nursing, accelerated nursing, RN to BSNemeaning registered nurse to Bachelor of Science in Nursing, health administration, public health or health policy. Through these prospective areas students found their true passion and could pursue a career in the health field. In addition, the students elected to receive training in specialized fields like anesthesia and midwifery. No matter their selected specialty, however, these aspiring nurses all shared the desire to make a difference in people's lives. They Viewed the field as more than a career that supported physical vvell-being, Instead, they all shared compassion for patients and hoped to make a difference on a more personal level for each and every person they came in contact With. Although they desired to work in different fields and with different groups of people, they all hoped to make an impact on those they came across. By Lindsay Perez and photos by Genevieve Stack NURSING PROGRAMS The School of Nursing and Health Studies offered undergraduate programs for all kinds of specialities and interests. Specialized tracks enabled nursing majors to prepare for the real world through simulations and advanced courses.

Over the years she broke several bones and as a result wound up visiting Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia on several occasions. Despite being put in a cast many times, Shea said the staff left an impression on her. tThe nurses seemed really educated. While working with children is often emotional, Shea said she also thought it was a positive environment. tlt's sad that kids are sick, but I love kids? Shea said. In the meantime Shea tried to get through the coursework of a nursing student. the have Clinicals two times per week and we go to the hospital where the nurses take you under their wing, Shea said. tItIs real world scenarios. SAMANTHA HEAD When Samantha Head was in high school her godfather was admitted to the hospital. More so than anyone else, the nurses played an imperative role in keeping her family at ease. nI realized what an impact the nurses have, Head said. I just wanted to make a difference in peoples lives the same way the nurses made a difference for us. As far as emotional support went, there was one group that Head said could use the encouragement more than any other: children. Kids have a certain optimism that is really amazing, Head said. Plus, it provided her with an extra source of pride. ttThere is nothing like handing a kid back their entire life, Head said. REGINALD PERARD Reginald Perard finally settled on nursing after a very close encounter with the field. tMany years ago, I decided this was the field for me...after my wife had children I realized the value of the nursing field? Perard said. It took him a few years to get here. Though slightly older than his peers, maturity allowed him to have a more thorough perspective of the job force and an understanding of the hiring process. ttNursing is a broad field where you can explore various opportunities? Perard said. But the steady nature of the nursing field was not the only factor that attracted him. Perard felt there was a more personal reward to reap. ttYou can give a lot back and change lives? he said. 129 School of Nursing and Health Studies After six decades of teaching, nursing school established global learning and healthcare Over 60 years ago, the Nursing School opened its doors for the first time to an entirely female student body. N ow, the school boasts students of all sexes and races and continues to expand its reach worldwide. Programs in places like Haiti, Mexico, Chile and even as far as China began to take part in the programs offered and in an international exchange of ideas for everything from acute care to midwifery to anesthesia. Understanding that a global education was imperative to the world community, Dean and Professor Nilda Peragallo designed an international academy. HWe are delighted to share our advanced simulation labs and outstanding faculty with global partners around the world? Peragallo said, in the Fall 2010 issue of Heart Beat magazine. Indeed this foreign exchange benefitted not only those abroad but students right here in Miami. Through exchange programs, they too got to experience a clinical setting very different from what they were accustomed to and allowed them a well-rounded experience in a global classroom, And the positive outcomes of this exchange were evident. In 2009, graduate nursing student Tara Meridieta assisted a medical team that conducted the first organ transplant in Haiti. It was an experience she said she would never forget. 'ilt was an honor for me to be asked to participate in this first of-its-kind operation, Mendieta said in a UM press release. Hope Williamson, a doctoral graduate departed for her third tour of duty in Afghanistan, where she would use her skills to treat soldiers serving in the frontlines of battle. '1 learned the true meaning of evidenced-based practice and leadership and will apply these new skills to provide more compassionate care for our men and women critically injured in combat? Williamson said. These advancements show that the school has evolved far from its origins in 1950-51. But today, the graduates of the nursing school are as global as the program that trained them and have, therefore, truly carried out the mission for global education. By Lindsay Perez an exam.

Since then, it has grown exponentially. In 1976, it established its masters program and in 1985 it began offering a doctoral degree for the first time. In February 2005, the program offered a health studies program for the first time.

Balancing the ecosystem Several hands gripped the slithering creature and pinned it against the floor of the boat as they tried to keep the gray mass as still as possible. The bull shark did not realize that it in this position for its own good, but these RSMAS students were determined to tag the shark in order to track it and ensure its wellbeing. Graduate students in the R.J. Dunlap Marine Conservation Program took boat trips to the Florida Keys every two to three weeks to monitor these feared animals and check on their progress. tThe research is based on a top-down concept that sharks are top predators and they are particularly vulnerable to fishing pressure, habitat loss and pollution, Austin Gallagher, first-year P.h.D. student, said. And the removal of these predators from an ecosystem can influence the food web dramatically. ttBasically, we fish, get biological samples and tag them for satellite tracking? Gallagher said. I always get a feeling of awe and respect in their presence because they are the perfect apex predator, shaped by nature's graces over millions of years, Laura Rock, first year P.h.D. student, said. tLuckily we have not had many close calls, just a few angry snaps from a lemon shark, which are notorious for being feisty anyway? Supporters of the program could symbolically adopt the sharks and follow their movements on Google Earth.

A Close encounter With a shark sparks a love of the ocean I could feel the babies moving inside her belly. We brought the large bull shark aboard the boat. My job was to secure her but she was kind of snappy. I immediately understood why, she was pregnant. Itve always had a fascination with the ocean. It started in third grade when I had to do a project on the Great Barrier Reef. I couldn't believe the pictures I saw and I especially couldn't believe that something so beautiful was beneath the surface of the water, just out of sight. I became interested in protecting sharks and the ocean when I was a sophomore in college. I had the opportunity to visit the Galapagos IsIands. On a dive there, our instructors told us not to expect any sharks because they had all been fished out for their fins Such a waste of a magnificent animal. On the first dive, I was lucky enough to be approached by five scalloped hammerheadsi On my second dive, I didn't see the group of hammerheads until the end. And this time there was a massive wall of 30-50 sharks aligned in perfect form. It was like a perfect dance underwater. It was then that I realized that they were in peril and if something wasn't done, the ocean could face drastic consequences and my children would never be able to see such a miraculous part of nature. The female bull shark was the most beautiful thing. Because of her delicate state, we only tagged her fin and then set her free. We wanted to give her and her babies the best chance of survival, By Laura 5 Rock Graduate Programs 1 33 QUEEN OF THE KEYS At her recital at Maurice Gusman Concert Hall, second year doctoral student Noppawah Tahtikam plays piano.

Along with three self-arranged recitals, grad students must find the time to invest in their teaching assistant positions and their dissertations, unlike undergrad students who arrange two recitals. At the beginning of the fall term, the group of musicians made time to rehearse at least once or twice a week. HIn preparation for this recital, Sutton said. ttCassandra and I met once a week starting in late August For me this was often difficult because the percussion set-up was extensive, so I spent a lot of time learning without the instruments.

There they lived side-by-side with indigenous peoples and observed their lives. Designed for those interested in global health and development, the project required attendees to imptement a developmental plan for the Kuna Indians, the native population. Senior Andrene Reid focused on teaching the Kuna how to sustain a healthy diet. Teaching them how to limit junk food came with its own set of obstacles. HThe main difficulty I had was the language barrier, Reid said. HThe main language on the island is TuIe and many of them spoke Spanish ; t as well. I speak neither TuIe nor Spanish so I had to rely on my classmates or what little I remembered from Spanish.

The hypothetical cases stemmed from actual appellate cases heard before the Supreme Court of the United States. T he students Will ask some tough questions and they can sense if you are unprepared, H Jill Schmidt, program fellow, saidi Hialeah High's Constitutional Law class received real-world experience through their weekly responses. The students analyzed a myriad of controversial topics. The issues discussed by the Hialeah students, ranged from lewd arid lascivious behavior, to the topic Of freedom of speech and defamation. Other cases dealt With the question of adoption by homosexual couples. Pupils from both schools utilized former cases heard before the SCOTUS to their advantage. Coral Gables High students based their respective arguments on a different collection Of mainstream topics. ACADEMICS Law students applied their college experiences to local high schools H1 have taught lessons on the right to bear arms, the right to marry, freedom of speech in schools, and trial practices, Schmidt said. Instructor Scott Merl stressed the interactive nature the mock trails have brought. HOur Class is about introducing high school students to the legal field in a fun and interactive mannerf Merl, a 3rd year law student, said. ttStreet Law offers a way to expose students to areas of law that impact them everyday. L . .1 Ithink the Street Law program is invaluable andl am proud to be a part of it? Schmidt said. The students were not the only ones Who saw real value in these trials Instructors hope future successors follow suit. This is the one time in law school tin Whicht instead of being the student and being lectured, you, the street lawyer, are actually the teacher.

Graduates needed internship experience. Numerous programs enabled students to earn internship credit. It was extremely rare to see a graduate without any field experience. Internships had become the norm and were basically a requirement. Internships were widely available, and took numerous applicants. For companies it was free labor. But for those without a Viable means of transportation and the sky-rocketing price of gas many found it hard to justify driving 30 minutes across town to work without pay or credit. As a simple solution to this common problem companies developed student representative positions. This way the job was convenient for interns and corporations were able to tap into a new market of young consumers. Senior Daniella Valencia spent her spring semester as a student representative for Ann Taylor. She was required to participate and plan onecampus events to promote brand awareness and consumer interest. Ann Taylor provided me with an outline of the tasks that needed to be completed, but talsoi allowed me to create my own ideas, Valencia said. Bethany Hickey, also a senior, interned for Proctor and Gamble. She highly recommended this position to anyone who was a self-starter and enjoyed setting their own goals. rTd recommend working as a brand rep to students who like being independent, Hickey said. But perhaps the greatest benefit of the experience was the new connections it afforded her and the useful life lessons. UtJ really helped me to communicate with student groups and organizations that 1 otherwise wouldn't have had contact with, Hickey said. It also taught me a lot about time management.

Lifeguard Meghan Lane disagreed completely. Her job was in many ways a big responsibility, times students' lives were in her hands. You want to prevent something from happening but be ready if it does, Lane, junior. said. Sitting poolside was known to be a relaxing activity by most students. Campus lifeguards, however, went about their poolside time with a bit more focus than the average visitor. But Lane felt confident in her ability to deal with tough situations. llBeoause U'ml trained, lfeel like I have the ability to help, Lane said. On-campus jobs offered a feeling of attached security.

Student patrols did not just pass along information however and Grellls responsibilities did not end here. After the initial report the dispatchers would determine whether officers should be called to look into the problem further. Most on-campus jobs have one thing in common, a basic skill set required of the employee. Many students answered phones, filed paperwork or ran errands. Dealing with 6-year-olds on the other hand was a bit unusual when compared to the typical office job. Kayela Glenn worked as a child caregiver at the on-carnpus pre-school Dealing with chidlren was often a task that carried a considerable burden, especially since people tend to be very careful and untrusting with their chidlren In general these jobs were much more demanding than many other jobs on campus, but in the end they helped the students build a sense of pride in giving back to the university community. For every ounce of extra responsibility there was a reward. We are able to directly interact with and assist the students and visitors of the University of Miami, Grell said.

Their day ended perfectly in port watching the sunset as sailboats floated in between. Both Uva and McMinds, along with nine others, were able to spend their spring break in the Galapagos with world renowned marine science professors. The semester-long program afforded students the opportunity to explore the world that inspired Charles Darwin's theories. Picture perfect scenery of clear, blue water, fertile grassy hills and silky smooth sand awaited this group eager to learn everything the island had to offer.

Photo courfesy Jessie Schaumburg ' MW M WM M m u cw Ls k i Guests from across the pond enjoy the sun and nightlife but struggle with studies Laying upon South Beach, soaking up the sun and walking across campus in shorts and flip flops, even in the middle of January, sometimes caused a longing for a new experience, a desire to go far, far away and live in an entirely different culture, taste new food and maybe touch some snow. Many on the Eastern Hemisphere were also seeking an exotic experience and set their sights on the heart of Coral Gables, Fla. It is quite difficult leaving behind friends and families and moving to a foreign country. Not only is the process of living away from home hard, but not knowing what to expect academically is scary. Lucky for juniors Inga Hohne from Leipzig, Germany and Sarah Lambley from Glasgow, Scotland, their experience was positive despite the academic challenges. When asked about their favorite part of their adventure, both girls answered the bright ball also known as the sun, I am in love with Miami, Lambley said. lll love the weather and the people and I think I'm going to find it hard going home to rainy Scotland. Inga described the lifestyle as entirely different from back home, particularly in terms of work ethic. The attitude towards life is different, Hohne said. Here a lot is just about money, money, money. I twouldl rather enjoy life and my free time, be happy, healthy and satisfied. I work to live not live to work. And though this theory about the American work ethic might have been accurate, this city of sunshine was known for its ability to blow off a little steam with the signatory party-soene Though Inga described the superficiality that defined and consumed the nightlife, Lambley definitely embraced the partyescene. Her time here included constant Visits to the grove, South Beach and of course, the token fraternity and sorority parties. Both girls definitely took in a dose of the eclectic culture. They were introduced to several different forms of music such as salsa, rnerengue and even dubstep. And of course, you cant live in Miami without being exposed to some fatty foods, as Lambley described them. They discovered Cuban foody Peruvian foods and Thanksgiving Dinner. A definite culture shock came with the transition into an American university. According to both European students, the style of education in the United States is different. Though Inga found it far less demanding Lambley assimilating to the curriculum a Challenge. HI have found it difficult academically to be constantly tested, Lambley said. In Scotland we usually only have to do an essay and then a final exam. So the constant tests, midterms and finals were quite hard to get used to. l' Hohne, however, claimed that though far more excessive than in Germany, tests were easier and hardly required the amount of study time she previously invested. lll would say back home, I study between two to six weeks for the finals, here one to three days, Hohne said, Though eventually it was time to pack their bags and say goodbye to the tropical climate, fast-paced lifestyle and Vibrant nightlife, both women said they would always remember their visits to south beach, the Grove and even those wild frat parties. In addition there were two things that locals take for granted that the women claimed would be unforgettable experiences, H Ulll never forgetl sunbathing and drinking out of red cups, ' 'Larnbley said.

But what kept students motivated while studying during this noggin nudging time? From dancing to music and Puppies on the Green,' students tried everything to alleviate the stress they found themselves drowning in. Freshman Lena Habash was tempted to bring out salsa dancing to settle her nerves. i'Just enjoying the music, feeling the beat, and dancing With all my friends is a great time, H Habash, a regular member of Salsa Club, said. Physical activity seemed to be a commonly utilized calming tool that pumps out frustration. Just as salsa dancing calms nerves, for others practicing music gave that cerebrum a break.

However, there was one group who not only were relieved to be finished with finals, but also were excited to conclude their journey here with commencement. For many, graduating in December instead of May was a conscious decision. Kelly Fitzpatrick knew from the start of college that she was going to finish her requirements earlier than her fellow classmates. HI decided to graduate early because I came in with a lot of credits from high schooljl Fitzpatrick said. HIt seemed like the obvious choice because now I have a head start on the job market and a lot less pressure to have to find something right away. Although she didnt know from the start, Angelica Sogor described how careful planning brought her to the decision to graduate early. llOne day during the fall of my junior year, I was planning out my course schedule for my remaining time here to make sure I would finish everything on time for a May 2011 graduation and I realized I was able to graduate a semester earlyf' Sogor said. llBecause I knew what I wanted to do after graduation, it didnt make sense to me to continue paying for another semester of undergrad books, tuition and a parking pass if it wasnt absolutely necessary. December graduates still had to make many of the same difficult decisions as May graduates, including whether or not to attend graduate school or professional school, go straight into the workforce or do something else entirely. Lizzy Senk planned to enroll in the Public Administration Masters Program at UM during spring of 201 1, but she lamented over the noticeable difference in daily life between being an undergraduate student and a graduate student. HItls not the same level of involvement on campus as a graduate student, so I will miss the constant on- campus activities? Senk said. Although it was a momentous occasion and many of the graduates had exciting plans following graduation in the spring, the feeling was still somewhat bittersweet. The relief of being done with papers and tests was overshadowed by a disconnection from one's alma mater. HWhat I miss most is having my friends so close. It's surprising how accustomed you become to having someone to hang out with 24H?

Photo by Cayla Nimmo Graduates evade the workforce Whether it is due to career Choice, the need to diversify a resume 01' the desire to try something new, many college graduates are not attending graduate school or accepting jobs. With the variety of non-proflt organizations, many seniors set their sights on interestng ventures. More and more chose to participate in Teach For America, a non-proflt organization that focused on eliminating educational inequality in low-income communities throughout the United States. Senior Claire Heckerman felt Teach For America would afford her the opportunity to make a change, HThrough my work With UM Alternative Breaks and other programs in the community I have become acutely aware of many social inequities, but educational inequality is one of the most pressing in my opinion, Heckerman said. By joining Teach For America I feel that I Will be able to understand the educational system more clearly in order to take further action to create a more just system that does allow all students equitable opportunities. Heckerman, an International Studies major, planned on teaching at an elementary school.

In preparation for the program, she was required to participate in twice-a-week conference calls, local classroom Visits and exams to qualify for the alternative certification process required for the program. HI think I will have a profound appreciation for the work teachers do? Heckerman said. Beyond the tangible skills, I hope to become more of an adult through this program and a role and teacher and empower my students. H In addition, the opportunity to give back to the community was an important factor for many seniors who planned on doing things besides taking part in graduate school or ACADEMICS heading straight in to the work force This was the case for senior Matthew Robanya, who planned on joining Amerioorps after graduating in the spring. As a US. federal government program, Americorps worked to provide public education, worked towards social justice as well as promoted environmental clean-up. HI fundamentally want to give back to the community, Robayna said. I've been blessed with many things and this is an opportunity for me to serve those around me. Robanya added that upon coming to UM, he thought he wanted to work for the State Department but through his involvement in the student organization Serving Together Reaching Integrity Values and Engagement through the Butler Center for Service and Leaderhsip he decided he wanted to be part of promoting social justice. He said that joining Americoprs would allow him the experience of something different and would allow him to doversify his resume before searching for a job and settling down somewhere. Hllm hoping to grow as an individual, especially working in a place that I'm unfamiliar with and outside of my comfort zone, Robayna said. llm also hoping to gain valuable job skills that will help me land a permanent positioning in the non- profit world after my year of service. lnterning was also another choice for graduating seniors like theater major Sarah Zemach who aspires to one day be a theater director, Planning to intern at the B Street Theatre in Sacramento California, Zemach said the position would help her gain experience in a field she enjoys and make contacts. Theater is an apprentice position, you learn by watching and eventually doing, Zernaoh said, I plan on going back for a masters in a few years but top programs want applicants to have a few years of professional experience. This is the perfect way to spend my time in between? Zemach, always knew she wanted to continue on the theater track, said that through her internship she would gain skills by observing others and 1 by having her own work critiqued. She said she is also excited to have the opportunity to meet people in her respective field. Hlt's definitely a career choice, Zemach said. However, some seniors expect their experiences to be merely a stepping-stone to future goals. ttl'rn hoping that the next year will help me gain a deeper understanding of what exactly I should be doing with my life and then I '11 move fonlvard from there? Robanya said. Heckerman said that she is not sure whether teaching will be temporary or a lifelong endeavor. HI have so many interests and passions that I've been having a difficult time narrowing down my career path, Heckerrnan said. Check back with me in two years, when my Teach For America commitment is up, maybe I'll fall in love with teaching, who lmows'!

The men's team placed first in the Miami Elite invitational and King of the Hill lnvational during the year. Photo by Alex Budenz Cross Country teammates carry on friendships and healthy competition Year-round sun and heat beaming down on the city along with the schools strong commitment to academics, continued to attract athletes and students from around the globe due to its perfect environment that stimulated the mind and body. For the team it was enough to bring them in pairs: junior Jillian Gil and freshman Cristina Brea from Our Lady of Lourdes Academy and freshman Danielle Glynn and senior Caitlin Knapp from Bay Shore in Long Island, Both pairs raced together in high school and continued the tradition in college, ensuring a tight chemistry within the team. 'To be honest, I came here for the warmth and scholarship, said Knapp. llThey also have good academics and athletics. While Glynn and Knapp gained important experience from the competitive scene of Long Island running, they were eager to get to an environment where they could train year round without dealing with adverse weather, like snow. There were a couple of runs tin Long Islandl where we would run for a mile and come back inside, warm up and come out again, said Knapp. For Glynn, the decision to come to Miami was facilitated by knowing IOINED AT THE HIP In their high school gear, best friends freshman Cristina Brea and junior Jilian Gil goof around. Photo by Jessica Bryant that Knapp, her former high school teammate, could help her transition into the first year of college life, athletics and academics. HShe said before I got here, lIf you need anything, to show you around campus, I'm here, Glynn said of her teammates supportive spirit Both natives of the Sunshine State, Cristina Brea and Jillian Gil had a long time to develop their love for Miami, going to high school at Our Lady of Lourdes Academy just 2.5 miles from the Coral Gables campus Gil attended school in Colorado for a semester before being called back to her hometown to continue racing. There are a lot of eyes on us, Brea said. In the sense that everyone around here knows who we are since we came to high school heref' Knapp and Glynn embraced each other in a mentoring fashion while Brea and Gil were best friends and were so inseparable they were regarded as one person by their teammates. Their relationship often continued off of the track. HWe hang out together a little too much, Brea said. Were all pretty close on the team since we see each other so often. Just by default hanging out with Jill made me hang out with everyone else. By Debora Rubi LAYING AROUND Senior Caitlian Knapp and freshman Danielle Glynn relax after practice.

The women's volleyball program has had a history of successful players, but none that have measured to Southern Californials Lane Carico. Carico has been one of the most, if not the most, successful player in the program's history. After this last season, she was selected to be a part of the 3rd Team All-Arnericans. Carico has had several accomplishments in her volleyball career. but her most important one was finding a balance between achieving athletic success and personal satisfaction. HAchieving a high level of performance while having fun was most important to me and satisfying in itself, although it was certainly nice to be recognized on a national level, Carico said. Being Chosen for the All-American team by coaches and previous players who have played at very high levels was a huge honor. H As a Southern California native, Carico grew up near the beach and played volleyball ever since she was 10. She started playing in local beach tournaments and both of her parents are volleyball players. With so many accomplishments as an athlete, living up to your own records can often be a tremendous amount of pressure, but Carico said she tries not to give in to pressure. Hl believe that for anybody, the only pressure that exists is the pressure they put on themselves, since they control their perceptions. The only pressure I perceive to be meaningful is that of trying to live up to my potential every day and while exceeding previous records or falling short may serve as an observable and useful measurement, at the end of the day they are just numbers, Carico said. This volleyball season was a successful one, making it to the NCAA tournament. Carico attributed their success to the improvements their team made. A time that forced them to learn a lot both individually and as a team. With Caricols significant role on the court, she had a great dynamic with the team by setting a good example and being a great leader. Lane Carico will leave her mark as one of the most successful players in recent women's volleyball history. By jessica C athen'ne Gibbs Senior Lane Carico Photo by Jessica Bryant 167 Volleyball III!

I' Qllllllr VIIII' Underclassmen commit to upholding a cohesive team spirit and a competitive attitude for the season As former captain Brittany Macdonald and Miamils all-time leading scorer Brittney Steinbruch prepare to graduate, some underolassrnen committed themselves to making this year their best. The commitment began with the decision by sophomore jordan Roseboro to come back early in the summer to begin training and working out. HI think this season has been one of the most successful ones because the underclassrnen did come back prepared, Macdonald, senior, said. ttWe didn't have to worry about fitness, just about training and how we could play soccer better. Few underclassrnen embodied that commitment more than sophomore Ali Brennan, joined the squad as a back-up for junior goalie Vikki Alonzo who holds the Canes record for career shutouts. The coaches pointed out that Vikki is obviously a wonderful goalkeeper and that I wouldnt be able to work my way into goal, 'J Brennan said. 21 used my athleticism to play wherever they wanted me Brennan has played every position on the field in her two years with the Hurricanes, although most of her time has been spent as a defender.

Photo by Cayla Nimmo f It's fun, Brennan said. Wherever the team needs me, that's where 111 play. Out of the many positions Brennan has played, she prefers the defensive position because of its connection to the goal-keeping position that she spent playing for most of her life. 21 realize now the importance of a goalie to be talking to the defense constantlyf Brennan said. Because I'm on the field and I can't see everything, I dont know what's going on all the time, so it definitely helps a lot. The lack of a captain or single, clear leader this year has forced all players to take on leadership roles for the team when needed. 21th kind of crazy tnot having a captaint Brennan said. HBut everyone knows their place and knows when to say stuff and when not to?! With the help of the underclassmen, Macdonald and her fellow seniors can feel comfortable leaving a strong team behind to continue their legacy. HSornehow the underclassrnen rise to the occasion and they come back even better and stronger? Maodonald said.

Photo by George Wu Rigorous practice inspires a new level ofstrength Lights fell brightly as the players exited onto the anonymous fields, letting their cleats sink into the dew-filled grass. There were no shutters of cameras or shouts from eager fans. Silence permeated except for the yells of the coaches, tiHarder! Faster! StrongerV The emphasis, no matter if it was in or off season, was always intensity. It was a time to prove that they deserved to wear the team's notorious colors come game day. Under new head coach Al Golden and the new ttU Touth program, players proved themselves at every level of practice from conditioning, to drills, to scrimmages. Coaches and players from the team opened up about the spring practice sessions in a Social Media Day organized by the athletic department in mid-February. NU Tough is a whole other game, Mike James, junior running back, said. HFirst day of practice it really backs up its game. Man am 1 ready for this, is this I want to do for the rest of my life. U Tough took place every Wednesday and Friday bright and early at 6 am. Players participated in multiple drills placed in different stations throughout the field. With each blow of the whistle, the players sprinted to the next station. U Tough lasted for 40 minutes without any breaks in speed or impulse. Strength Coach Andrew Swasey prepared different training sessions for fall and spring, with a new conditioning session added under the new leadership of Coach Golden. i'In the spring we develop basis and foundation, H Swasey said. ttWe try and get as big as we can. In the fall we try and stay fluent and flexible. The off season is the base building? Each Friday, Swasey ranked players by their positions according to their performance in the weight room. Those with the highest ratings got to start in the fall season. hWe compete on and off the field and on the weight room. It's more competition than anything now, 'l James said. The focus of pushing the players to the edge through the 40 minute intensive practices was to make the players mentally tougher, something they needed in order to embrace the new defensive and offensive schemes HYou gotta take your game up during practice, Stephen Morris, freshman quarterback, said. tiYou gotta play a lot harder and a lot smarter. Aside from staying strong during practice, the coaching staff was also committed to making sure the players stayed healthy during the season by supervising their nutrition. There's a mandatory breakfast now, You have to get in as many meals as possible to try and get the nutrition rightf Jojo Nicolas, senior defensive end, said. The eye was always on the prize, with players receiving jersey colors in respect to their accomplishments during practice. Black was awarded to the hardest working and highest ranked players.

Photo by Cayla Nimmo The team searches for its inner swag in a sweeping game against an old rival Reminiscent of the swage centered team of the 1980s, coach Randy Shannon chest bumped players after flags were thrown for excessive celebration. It wasn't a scene representing an era of new confidence, but rather, a team that desperately held onto the hope of attaining an ACC title. On Oct. 23, the team faced a conference rival, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The rivalry stemmed from a desire to beat Butch Davis, a former Miami coach. The team did not take this rivalry lying down; Miami scored 30 unanswered points to beat the Tar Heels 33-10. It took an old coach to bring out old-school play. The team embodied an ease that contributed to their momentum and vicious demeanor to go out and destroy their opponent. Each player put their heart on the line and left everything on the field to take advantage of a team depleted by suspensions and injuries. The fire within each of them got the win that helped maintain their ACC title hopes. Jaoory Harris overcame an early interception to have one of his best games of the season. He threw three touchdown passes to move into second place on Miami's career list. LaRon Byrd, Travis Benjamin and Lenard Hankerson each caught one as Harris was able to spread the field. Senior running back Damien Berry ran for his fourth straight game of 100- pius yards for the season. Junior line backer Sean Spence had one of the key plays to change the momentum to favor Miami In the opening quarter, UNC was about to score when he forced a fumble to deny them a touchdown. Miami sacked the opposing quarterback five times, which was a season-worst for the Tar Heels; senior defensive lineman Allen Bailey was credited for three and a half of them. Miami had lost to the Tar Heels for the past three seasons, but this season was different. The win moved the t t ' t ' i team into second place in the Coastal CROSSING THE LINE Breaking a tackle, senior wide receiver LaRon Byrd scores a touchdown.

The disappointing statistics were hard to believe, but this was the reality that fans faced leading into the ninth game of the season against Maryland. Just one week earlier, Miami not only fell to one of the worst teams in the ACC, the Virginia Cavaliers, but lost its starting quarterback, junior Jacory Harris, to a brutal concussion. After backup quarterback Spencer Whipple proved largely ineffective, former head coach Randy Shannon decided to put freshman Stephen Morris behind center. The move was surprising and risky not only for the team, but for Morris as well. It was Morris's own decision to enter the game, a choice that would surrender his red shirt season and one year of athletic eligibility. STEPHEN Miami lost to Virginia, but Morris MORRIS played well enough to earn his P ositi on first collegiate start the very next Quarterback weekend against Maryland with Harris still injured. High School The game itself was ugly. The Monsignor Pace team committed lO penalties, one of High School which negated a defensive score and missed two extra-point attempts. Heightheight Morris, however, stepped up and 6'2'7210 lbs. delivered when it mattered most with the game on the line late in the fourth Passing Yards quarter. during game With Miami trailing 20-18 and in 285 yards lteam danger, Morris and his teammates season highl dominated with the remaining three minutes and six seconds. What happened next was truly remarkable. Morris took over the game and put Miami back on track. The true freshman kept the drive alive on a third and eleven situation by scrambling for 16 yards, good enough for a first down. With only 37 seconds left on the clock, Miami needed a big play and got it. Morris went deep to senior wide receiver Leonard Hankerson and connected for the touchdown, leading the team to a 26-20 victory. The throw and catch was arguably the play of the year and capped off an 82 yard scoring drive that ensured bowl eligibility and saved homecoming weekend. Morris, who entered the season essentially as the fourth-string quarterback, finished the game with 286 passing yards, His determination and performance against Maryland proved that he was capable of playing among the best, and went on to start the next three games. In an otherwise forgettable season, the game ended up being a memorable bright spot for both Morris and fans alike.

The trail of excitement ended in the second game of the season with a 24-35 loss to Ohio State, an opponent Miami had not faced since a much debated loss at the 2003 Fiesta Bowl. The Ohio State game, a precursor for the season ahead, marked the beginning of a consistent grouping of the term 'hterception with starting quarterback Jacory Harris Although Miami went on to defeat Pittsburgh and Clemson on the road, an unforgettable and greatly embarrassing 17-45 loss to Florida State set the stage for the unsuccessful season to follow. A record crowd of 75, 115 filled Sun Life Stadium in hopes to see another legendary battle between historic rivals, instead witnessing an unfortunate exhibition of Miami football, where Harris only completed 19 of 47 passes for 225 yards and was once again intercepted. A season whirlwind of wins and losses ended with losses to ACC leader Virginia Tech and surprisingly, USF. The latter loss resulted in the immediate termination of four-year head coach Randy Shannon. The Hyundai Sun Bowl on Dec. 31 was expected to renew the once heated rivalry between Notre Dame and Miami. Notre Dame erased those hopes by dominating Miami 33-17. Once again, Harris's interceptions took center stage as he logged three more in the bowl for a combined 27 interceptions by UM quarterbacks in the year and sealing the emotiona17-5 season record. By Debora Rubi Coach Shuffle In his first year as head coach, Randy Shannon failed to make a bowl game for the first time in over a decade. In 2008, Shannon finished with a 7-6 record that included losses to Florida and Florida State. It was the first time that Miami lost to the University of Florida since 1985. Although the numbers weren,t reinforcing, it was the overtime loss to the University of South Florida in 2010 that ended the four year career of Randy Shannon as head coach. Despite the ups and downs of his career, Shannon still impressed the university with his strong recruitment-consistently recruiting in the Top 25. nHe left a fantastic foundation, especially off the field in regards to conduct and academics? Christopher Freet, associate athletic director, said. Coach Jeff Stoutland served as the teams interim head coach in preparation for the Notre Dame game which was ultimately lost, 17-33. On Dec. 12, AI Golden was brought in from Temple University to replace Shannon. ttGolden came in with a great plan, energy and focus, Freet said. ttThat brought him immediately to the forefront as a clear cut candidate early on? Calling special attention to the seasons 112 penalties and poor turnover ratios, Golden began to instill his new practice regime in the spring. He quickly emphasized the importance of a smarter, more disciplined team. The best players dontt always make the best team but the best team always wins. It doesnt matter how talented parts of your team are, the best team always wins and thatts the team that plays the best in situational football, Golden said.

That was not the case for graduate student Adrian Thomas, who has been a pillar of longevity and consistencyeplaying in a team record 132 games. Thomas suffered season ending injuries both his sophomore and junior year, which propelled him to pursue his masters at UM while he redeemed his redshirt years. Adrian is a unique case as graduate student; he is a 6th year athlete who is dedicated both on and off the court. lll've always liked to start something and finish it, Thomas said in reference to his basketball career and education. It would seem that being in graduate school would make it much harder to find a balance, but Adrian says differently. Being a grad student is less stressful because he focuses on classes towards his degree instead of general education requirements. Regardless of undergrad or grad, Hit's all about balance. As an athlete, Adrian had committed to his schooling and he learned how to buckle down to balance everything. Whether that was spending time on the court, hitting the books or having fun, it was all about commitment. Hlt's pretty hard, but you have to do itH' said Thomas. Adrian also had the role model of his parents to look forward to as prime examples. Both of them are educators and heavily impacted his decision to continue schooling. His parents both went back for their masters and his father just got his doctorate in education. Just as his parents set an example, Thomas has set one for his teammates. He is nicknamed che Godfatherl' by his teammates because he's been through it all, whether in the classroom or in the game. His teammates come to him for guidance about classes, teachers, technique and opponents. After all. if they've played a team before, r ofbasketball and balances game time and academic: he knows the court, the team, the strategy. Early on, Thomas classified his game as one of a slasher, easily dunking on others. But, following the injuries, he had to change his pace. He became much more of a shooter and started playing llan old man's game. He slowed down, but now Hunderstands the game more. What was most impressive about Adrian's story, besides his commitment, was his modesty An injury would be hard on anyone. A season ending injury was enough to shock someone out of the game, let alone two. Adrian suffered them, young in his career and grew from that experience. By Natasha Tomchih i w t.

Senior Julian Gamble has embraced them, getting to show most of them off in his sleeveless uniform.

His favorite tattoo exemplifies the emotions behind them, the tattoo is a eulogy for his father shortly after he passed away. Gamble applies the same standard to his teammates.

N I my v: TOTH WIRE FourACC heartbreak games crushed hopes of an NCAA seat for the team It was an all too familiar feeling for fans when Tyler Zeller's layup at the buzzer ended with a 61-59 defeat against the North Carolina Tar Heels. After winning an overtime thriller against Virginia, the Hurricanes were up by as many as 19 in the second half before the Tar Heels quickly fired back. The defeat in the second round of the ACC tournament eliminated hope of any NCAA seat. The stretch from Jan. 19 to Ian. 30 presented with four consecutive heart-breakirig losses that came down to the final moments. These games, which put the team at 12-9 overall and 1-6 in the ACC, were decided by a combined 1 1 points, The team suffered their first home loss of the season against their biggest rival, Florida State, despite playing exceptional defense, allowing them to rally late, In the final seconds, senior Durand Scott couldn't finish on two separate drives to the basket. Miami led by as many as 12 in the first half after FSU. The team only made one of their final eight shots and couldnt take advantage of Florida States five failed free throw attempts. Against North Carolina State, the team was down by as many as 17 to an opponent that was on a three game losing streak. Miami fought back with five three-poihters led by MalcoIrn Grant. They had the ball down one with 20 seconds remaining before Durand Scott had the ball stripped from him. The team had its final opportunity with Malcolm Grant driving and dishing to Reggie Johnson inside. After NC State tacked on another free throw, the pass was deflected and the buzzer rang with the scoreboard flashing 72-70, another loss. Fans packed the BankUnited Center for a big-time showdown against perennial powerhouse University of North Carolina. The team came out firing and was hitting from beyond the arc to establish a l8-4 lead. It was quickly diminished and the team went into the half tied. The second half saw 13 lead changes. UNC star Harrison Barnes nailed the game winning three-pointer with 6.6 seconds left leaving the score 74-71. With a 15-3 run that cut the double-digit Hokie lead to one, it seemed as though they had the momentum and would finally be the ones delivering the crushing blow to an ACC opponent. However, Virginia Techls Jeff Allen and Erick Green were able to lead the way in the final three minutes to prevent a Miami victory. Through it all, the team would not stop fighting back, but heartbreak games crushed them at the end.

Photo by George Wu SPORTS - TAPPED Coach Katie Meier took the team to one of the most historic turnarounds in NCAA history, jumping from 12 in the ACC to No. one in just one year. After a successful season with the team, Meier was forced out of a much deserved resting period to receive one of the highest honors of the University, Iron Arrow. Meier was upset to be forced into the office after a successful season, especially when she walked into an empty office. That is, until ttthe tribe came int to induct her into the Iron Arrow Honor Society. For Meier, it served as a reminder of the relationship between coaches and the administration that President Donna E. Shalala fostered here. ttSomething about being a coach here is that youtre just emerged in the university as an employee rather than just athletiosf Meier said. tl really love that about Miami. I totally embrace it and try to do as much as I can with student activity events? With this new success came added pressure to represent the school on a national level. Its a big task of mine to pretty much return and keep them competitive and humble at the same time, Meier said. ttYou know, you have expectations. I want it. I want the pressure?

You're not good by yourself, you always have a player or players, the key pieces With everybody understanding their roles, everybody coming together saying, we can do this as a team. As a team, they showcased their coachts ability to turn around the basketball program johnson and the team had their eyes set on next year and increasingly making Miami a nationally renowned program.

Photo courtesy Sports Information New players start fresh With team men ta11 ty and success as top pnon tIes With a disappointing season in 2010, coach Mario Rincon and his men needed to tap into a new formula to become top ACC competitors. The formula of both unity and instability was found in the teams roster. The largest roster in recent years, it consisted of five freshmen and one junior. With half of the players experiencing the team for the first time, it was important for the upperclassmen to make the new players feel like family. ill mean as a freshman I got here and the seniors helped me a lot to move around, get my stuffjl Gabriel Flores, freshman, said. They explained to me how stuff works here I felt that I was in a new family. 'l Beyond giving directions, the seniors made sure that it was clear that all the players were on equal ground, Senior Keith Crowley introduced a tradition from his high school in which all 250 boys in his school shaved their heads together at the start of the year. This year we implemented a couple of new traditions to make the guys feel part of the team right away, Crowley said, HSomething unusual makes them feel part of the team?

Photo by Jose Martinez said. Hi think the main thing is that everybody concentrates on what to do best for the team. We have done that. We have accomplished that. It hasn't been very hard at all. Part of creating a team mentality meant letting go of personal egos, which became important as competition for ranked positions was constant between the members. tilt ihasi come down to records and best resultsf Crowley said. This year is different from last year in that no one cares where they play. If you get a win in one or a win in six its one point for the team, that's been our key to sucess. As positions were rotated before each game, the key to success also had a constant instability and variety within the tight knit group. Ultimately it took a catharsis in the roster and a flexibility within the team to create a cohesive unit committed to bringing the team back to its former glory.

Paige told us that we were going to have a visitor at practice, Bianca Eichkorn, senior, said. I live in the UV so I ran home and get my camera because youire not going to get a chance like that every day? Aside from talking to the girls, Diaz also took the time to hit the ball around for a couple of minutes.

Photo courtesy Sports Information While other athletic programs disappoionted, tennis continued to shine and succeed With a school fan base that seemed to be perpetually disappointed, one had to walk to the sma1lest venue on campus, the Neil Schiff Tennis Center, to see a true story of success. The team managed to finish ACC play ranked number six in the country with an 18-6 overall record, playing in a conference that included No, three Duke and No. five North Carolina. All their six regular season losses were to opponents ranked in the top 10. HWe have a great team and we can do a lot, Bianca Eichkorn, senior said. The ACC is a really strong conference. We are tested throughout the season so 1 know we're going to be prepared for the NCAA Tournament as well. The team has made the NCAA tournament in all the years it has been led by Coach Paige Yaroshuk-Tewst 11The structure never changes, the wheels are turning and the way theylve been coached and the way We been coaching them has proven to be successful, Coach Yaroshuk- Tews said. HWith kids buying into the philosophies around here it just keeps moving forwarde The structure seemed endangered when team legend Laura Vallverdu, a National Championship runner up in 2009, graduated. However, Bianca Eichkorn, the number seven singles player in the country, was able to step up to the number one position. HLaura has been involved with Bianca in he1ping her and teaching her and leading her and being here on game days? Coach Yaroshuk- Tews said. '11 think leadership says a lot about the program. 11 Eichkorn did more than replace Vallverdu. In the ACC Tournament she recorded her 132 Victory, a new team record, surpassing Vallverduls 131 wins At the end of the season, Eichkorn was also awarded the title of ACC Player of the Year. Eichkornls departure in May tested the gir1s, but they were prepared for a new season with No. 46 Anna Bartenstein looming in the No. two position. HAnna is playing great tennis, 1' Gabriela Mejia, senior, said. The difference between her at the beginning and at the end of the season is going to be great, She's going to be ready to step up? Despite working as a team, individual competition also helped the team improve. 11AM of the girls play harder and 1 think something that is good is we all want to play and we all want to play higher, Gabriela Mejia, senior, said. That motivates us to play against each other and push ourselves. With the fair weather and program success consistency attracting new talent, the teams success was expected to continue for years to come, By Debora Rubi 191 Women's Tennis BIRDS Athletes wake up earlier than most to train and strengthen their team Waldng up at 5 am. hardly fits into the general stereotype of the college lifestyle, full of parties and all-nighters. But for rowing athletes 5 am was one of the many sacrifices made on a daily basis to improve their competitive abilities. Rowing team athletes put in early practices to be able to train before classes like all other Cane athletes. However, this commitment was exaggerated by the rowing team's long commute to practice. So, what is a day in the life of a rower like? Senior Sarah Medland said she hopped on the bus at 5:55 am and commuted to the Indian Creek boathouse for 30 minutes in order to begin practice at 6:30 am. They started with five minutes of mobility and then ran for an hour. The routine was combined with three to five afternoon practices on dry land, where they conducted weight training and cross running for strength. Coach Andrew Carter designed practice as a combination of physical, technical and tactical styles, The three styles were adapted to include novice and varsity players. The fall semester of the year involved building strength in the weight room and aerobic activities with the strength and conditioning coach. Races were longer in the fall at 61cm and required more endurance than the Zlqn sprints in the spring. Hlt's a largely aerobic type of an event, Carter said. So we have to do a lot of mileage basically at low intensities to build that up. In the spring, the intensity was higher and race simulations were part of the routine. Practices were planned to improve on weak areas. Coach Carter said he was advised by his eight-year-old son, who helped him strategize. lll-Ie fancies himself as one of our coaches, and loves thinking of being in charge of planning, goal setting and spirit, Carter said. For Medland, who has made it to the ACC Tournament twice, rowing was a very different sport than anything she had practiced before. It was much more demanding than she expected. She said it could also be tough for freshmen who have to learn to balance the sport with their academic performance. tilt is hard to balance academics and rowing and waking up, but the girls we have at the moment have done really well this season, Medlanol said. From early mornings, to extensive physical training, the key to success includes adaptation to the difficult schedule and a complete commitment to the sport.

Photo courtesy Sports Information THE PIECES BEHIND THE WORK Just as any team, the positions of each member on a boat are important to the overall success of the team during a race. As eight people try to row and steer a sixty foot boat, it becomes increasingly important for everyone to know their role and work in unison to maintain speed and stability. On a traditional eight plus boat used in conference competition, there are four specific sections to the boat that serve distinct roles in the functioning of the boat from the front of the to the back. They have to way in at significant competitions and if theyire under 110 pounds then they have to carry weights with them. She bridges athlete and coach, providing technical feedback in situations. The coxswain in front can be seen as the brains, the stern pair is the pace setter, the middle four bring the strength and the bowl pair bring it all together. Some are the brawn, some are the brains, but they are all equally important in maintaining stability and grace of the water. Here is a closer look at what each of the positions specific strengths and roles are during a traditional race as well as their locations on the actual boat. By Debora Rubi and illustration by Kenneth Garcia She steers which is not the easiest thing to do when you have to steer a 60 foot long boat with a credit card sized rudder.

To battle practice monotony, she added games and contests to practice. A strong contributor to the overall result was junior Jennifer Hirano, who received her second top 10 finish at the tournament. Hirano feels that the team has improved this year and had a smooth adjustment to a new coach. She is really easy to get along with and relate to. She understands more what we are going through classes wise? Hirano said.

Photo courtesy Sports Information F D: 0 B U H P junior Devon Hill looks back on a winning streak and plans for a bright future The name Devon Hill was recognizable to any hurricane football fan. But when he put down the pigskin at the end of fall semester, Hill began to prepare for his true passion: track and field. In high school, Hill began to show off his true talent. He earned himself first place in the New Jersey State Meet and the New Jersey Meet of Champions for the l lOAmeter hurdle, Now a college junior, Hill continued to impress his teammates, coaches and even himself. The thing I'm most proud of mainly is getting third in nationals, 'l Hill said. Over the course of the last year Hill has served as the mens track team's captain. It is a responsibility he takes seriously, but that according to Hill, his peers have made rather easy. 'tWelre all really good, Hill said. Hltls not hard to be the captain. There's no body that has attitude problems. So we just encourage each other. Were all basically captains. Hill attributed the cohesive nature of the team to the fact that all the men remained friends off the track and truly trusted and knew one another on a personal level. HWe're very close knit, Hill said. lll think we're one of the closest teams out. We do a lot of things together. On an off day we all go to the movies. We chill at the house. We do a whole lot together. This year, Hill ran the fourth-fastest time in school history in the 1 10m hurdles with his time of 13.88 seconds at the Hurricane Alumni Invitational and placed fourth at the ACC Championships with a time of 1393 seconds in the 1 10m hurdles. But despite his success, he said, he is always striving to improve his time and work toward the next big accomplishment. 'Next year I plan to win everything I can make that strive to make the Olympics? Hill said, lll want to compete against the best of the best. While Hill hoped for the best and certainly would strive to remain a competitive athlete for as long as possible, he said if it did not work out he hoped to be able to give back to the program that gave him this opportunity. Hl'll always be pait of this track program even after I graduate, Hill said, Tl willl help out however I can. . .give back to the school.

Track starters, the exception, get the Chance to compete amongst professionals of all ages and from diverse countries despite their amateur status Senior Titerra Brown, the star sprinter on the team, did more than live that reality. She excelled in it, winning in the 2010 USA National Championships. She was the first Hurricane to do so. It wasnt rny fastest time, but it was a huge win and a huge accomplishment, Brown said. Brown had the luxury of having her raw talent molded by one of the best coaches in the game, Amy Deem, who has spent her entire career with the University of Miami. llShe molded me into one of her athletes, Brown said. llMe and her have a really good relationship and her coaching style is really smart? With her results, Brown was an inspiration to the other students on the track team and others looking to come to the school and join the track program. The ones here and other high school students that want to come to Miami can be smart about it, Brown said. HI didn't get here just because I'm here. It was a lot of hard work and a lot of long nights and days? Brown won her first ACC individual title in the 1 00m hurdle. She is able to couple her athletic accomplishments with academic ones as an ambassador. lrWe're basically the face out there for Miami as far as the track and field world is concerned, Brown said. HHopefully that can progress and people around here see were really good and we're doing a lot of good things and they can come out and support us more? The teams success was partly a result of their unity and chemistry. Disciplines like sprinting, where only two participants compete, allowed them to get to know each other. After having the best year in her athletic career, Brown still was not satisfied yet. HI'm a 100 percent to track once I graduate, Brown said tll won't have to split and divide between school and classes. My goal is to make the USA team and continue my professional career. H By Debora Rubi Women's Track and Field 1 99 h Wetter? sits Team comes together to defeat in-state rival after a hard 1055 Sometimes it takes reaching an all-time low to inspire a great performance. What happened as the team entered the last game in its series against Florida State is an example of this The Canes, on the verge of being swept at home by their ih-state rivals, imew victory was a must. The Seminoles shut out Miami in the previous game of the series for the first time in eight years. Something had to give. With low morale, the players knew they had to play a superb game without errors. The team committed nine errors in the first two games combined, but won game three by four runs. Hitters, Daley Carey and Zeke DeVoss, were the first to put the comeback in motion. Three runs in the first two innings allowed the pitcher and the defense room to breathe. Sophomore EJ Encinosa pitched seven shutout innings. Encinosa allowed only three hits and struck out nine Seminole plays to get his fourth win. Encinosa had the longest outing of his career in game three. Miami extended the lead to 4-0 in the sixth with a bases loaded walk. The 5-0 lead came in the seventh with an RBI single by Daley Carey, The lone Seminole score came off a solo homerun in the eighth inning by James Ramsey. The Seminoles loaded the bases in the ninth before sophomore Sam Robinson ended the game with a forced fly out from Sherman Johnson. The Miami offense was led by Rony Rodriguez and N athari Melendez. Rodriguez went 2-3 with two RBTs while Melendez went 2-3 and scored a run for the team. Rodriguez and Melendez performed well throughout the series going a combined 10-23 in the three game stand. Rodriguez reached base in eight of his fourteen at bats. The Vict01y was key for Miami as was the increased morale.

Photo by Kenneth Rubi sweeping'em Hurricanes celebrate 7th consecutive win in a 3-0 shutout against North Carolina State University A morale boosting 4-1 win marked the beginning of the fourth successful sweep against another ACC opponent, North Carolina State. The team's domination began Friday night at Alex Rodriguez Park, where a strong hrst inning performance encouraged players towards consistency. Both Bryan Radziewski and Travis Miller, right and left handed pitchers, held North Carolina's offense to a stand still, only permitting one run and five hits the entire night. Left fielder Chantz Mack, second baseman Zeke DeVoss, center fielder Nathan Melendres, first baseman Rony Rodriguez and third baseman Brad Fieger collaborated to bring home the first three runs of the game. Saturday night, the Canes held a nine run lead against the Wolfpack, but briefly lost track during the eighth inning when NC State scored eight runs and quickly bounced back. After NC State shortstop Chris Diaz hit a line drive past Rony Rodriguez, the game was tied at 13 all in the ninth inning. The Canes, however, took mmww t , w ' W control of overtime and were able to close the game at 14-13. A 3-0 win over NC State ended the series on Sunday night when the Canes celebrated another strong performance of offense and defense. Sophomore pitcher EJ. Encinosa led the team up to the seventh inning, preventing the Wolfpack from scoring and only allowing two hits. With NC State's poor pitching and list of throwing errors, the Canes capitalized and took to the fourth inning to score their first run. Freshman Brad Fieger's two-out single let in Harold Martinez who previously took advantage of a pitching error. Catcher David Villasuso, Chantz Mack, Zeke DeVoss and Nathan Melendres later added to the team's overall performance, racking in two runs during the fifth inning. In addition to being the team's seventh consecutive win, the team celebrated and paid tribute to the 2001 N CAA Baseball College World Series title team.

Coach Morris, who has been with the team for the past 18 seasons, recorded his 800th win with the program in a 5-2 victory over Maryland on April 16. The win came on a second game of a double header after Miami lost the first game 10-2, granting the team a series win.

Photo by Kenneth Rubi Hard work and committment allow Victory over top team When Miami went to Charlottesville, North Carolina to face top ranked University of Virginia they knew they would need a top performance to overcome one of the nation's most elite teams. Not only would the players face the top ACC team, but also one of the four teams that would later make it to the College World Series. The strategy best crafted to beat a giant like Virginia at home was to take the lead early on. The Hurricanes proved successful in executing the strategy as the first game played out. Miami came out strong game one. Scoring five runs in the first inning proved early on that they were not intimidated by facing the pitcher with the best ERA in the ACC, Dany Hultzen. Miami had the added motivation of Jim Morrison, back in the dugout after recovering from surgery, who always aches for a win. Methodical, conservative and consistent plays brought the Canes a 5-0 lead. Reliable and successful hitting highlighted by doubles by sophomore Zeke De Voss and freshman Dale Carey aided in the lead. In addition, errors by Cavalier infielder Chris Taylor made the giant slightly weaker. DeVoss started the streek of runs with a lead-off double. De Voss scored on a throwing error of a stolen base by junior Rony Rodriguez. Harold Martinez scored Rodriguez with a single to make the score 2-0. Daley Carey then scored Martinez on a Cavalier error to quickly make the score 3-0 A double by sophomore Stephen Perez eventually scored freshman Brad Fieger and Carey for the final 5-0 in the first inning. It was the first time all season that Cavalier Dany I-Iultzen allowed more than one run in the first inning. Hultzen settled down, allowing only three in the next five innings. Both Cavalier runs came in the fourth inning as Christ Taylor doubled to drive in John Hicks. The second run came off a fielder's choice during a pop out that scored John Barr. Junior Travis Miller allowed two hits and no runs and junior Sam Robinson stayed in for the last out, also his sixth save of the season. For the season, the Cavaliers lost only five games at home, one of those coming in the NCAA regionals. Miami lost games two and three by tight scores, 3-2 and 5-4.

Soccer balls, footballs and Frisbees flew through the air as sweaty men and women cheered arid hooted in the grass below. As the plays came to an end, a whistle blew. This was neither an ACC championship nor a fun game to relieve stress. This was Intramural sports and the elite few with whistles in hand, 1M officials. Hlt is a job so the main interest is money, but there are other refs who have played these certain sports all their life and see it as a hobby, Daniel Hauth, junior, said. Hauth said he enjoyed being active and said he would not like to work behind a desk, which he did not have to worry about while officiating. There is always something different going on. People are getting hurt one day and arguing the next. It really keeps you on your toes, Brian Liegel, head supervisor for intramural officials at the Patti and Allan Herbert Wellness Center, said. According to Liegel, the intramural program had 747 teams and 8,1 17 STANDING FIRM Planting his feet firmly, junior Daniel Hauth blows his whistle and demonstrates ; calling a foul during a flag football game.

You stand by their decision, Xiaxer Bowden, junior and IM official, said. Becoming an intramural official was a time consuming process. First, the prospective officials had to attend a training session conducted by the intramural supervisors. The trainees were educated about the penalties for each sport. Next, the potential referees had to take a written exam that covered what they learned in training, Once they passed the test, they could begin to officiate. It was a survival of the fittest. r'Off'icials are selected based upon their willingness to learn, hustle, be confident and have good judgment.

The Association of Commuter Studentst woments volleyball team exhibited a teamis need for commitment, camaraderie and talent to win major competitions. As in any great victory, organizing the ACS volleyball team required a lot of hard work: from signing up for tournaments to recruiting players. Basically anyone who is a paid member has a right to play on our intramural teams, Ashley Taggart, junior and ACS vice president, said. Some of the players are friends because they knew each other from the club, but some of them met for the first time on the court and the team dynamic just grew from that point on. The ACS team uniform is our signature team jersey for all of our intramural sports, Jennifer Safstrom, senior, said. The royal blue has symbolized ACS since we first started. Even though intramural volleyball teams competed with each other, it wasnt all about competition. The most important part of ACS volleyball was that members loved playing just for the fun of it. nAt my high school i was captain of the volleyball team, and we took all of our games very seriously? Meghan Doyle, freshman, said. itln our intramural team, competition isntt all too important. Even though we won the championship, the best part of playing was having fun with my teammates? When push came to shove, though, the ACS girls put their game faces on. Although they knew how to have fun, the girls put their heart into the game. ttThe games are for fun, but we are a competitive team.

Sportsfest, which celebrated its 25th anniversary, took place every spring semester and was comprised of about 30 sports and activities ranging from basketball and flag football to obstacle courses and water polo. The highly anticipated three-day event allowed residents to participate in some healthy competition while creating lasting relationships in the process, Though Hecht Residential College had won the last 12 Sportsfest championships, but that didn't seem to phase, distract or intimidate their competitors, especially their biggest rival, fellow freshman residential college, Stanford who were leading the major campus event Saturday morning during the basketball events. Stanford-Rosborough floor eight roommates and freshmen captain Ryan Finkelstein and co- captain Tatiana Borja both agreed that through Sportsfest they built stronger dorm relationships. Working together as a team forced the residents to unite and learn about eachother. HWe are constantly supporting other Stanford floors, always finding a way to attend their events when we finish our own, just so they can hear our voice and see our shirts, Finkelstein, NKriock-out champ and Biology major, said. Before the weekend approached, residents spent extra time outside of their university priorities to plan pep rallies, design t-shirts and most importantly floor banners, which Rosborough eight KlRiolers won for being the most creative and the most unique.

As residents worked together they came to appreciate their diversity. Our entire floor comes together to make Sportsfest our best; you cant win this thing alone... Ut isJ definitely a team effort, Ramos said. As residential players warmed up, on the main basketball courts, stretching, dribbling and shooting jump shots, the atmosphere exemplified a spirit of unity, excitement and pride for all of the universities residential colleges. Leah Nunez, senior and RA for Stanfordls Sex and Walsh 1 1th floor, recognized the significance of campus events like Sportsfest, in that it was the primary reason she decided to become a residential assistant. HYou can definitely tell the difference in their dorm interactions from before Sportsfest to after. I've seen many friendships grow through this event? Nunez said. Economics major and sophomore Stanford- Walsh fourth floor Dentists' RA, Tariq Habash enjoyed the freshman ttcare-giying experience? especially during events like Sportsfest. HOur guys are just as supportive as the girls, if not more vocal. Their commitment was astounding in that they've been hitting the gym hard, Habash said. This year our Stanford RAs came together and agreed on the notion that were tired of being second to Hecht. Sportsfest ultimately signifies what the UM is all aboute and that '8 school pride? The experience Habash carried most with him during and after Sportsfest was the opportunity to see his freshmen residents step out of their comfort zones and work together for one common goal-the championship title. The community built on our floor started early but now that Sportsfest is here their now just as close as brothers, if not closer? Habash said. By jamie Stephens v W CHEERLEADERS! HECHTYEAH!

Each group is a diverse mix of ethnic backgrounds and cultural experiences. Despite the differences found within the four councils that make up Greek life, the tie between the individual members of each organization remains eternally strong. Each unique individual who joins a fraternity or sorority makes that respective brotherhood or sisterhood more complete than it was before. Here, being a part of Greek life means your fraternity or sorority is home whether you are in the Panhellenio building or miles away. It means having the support of your brothers and sisters whether you are together or apart. It means that core values, which were instilled upon initiation, carry on throughout graduation and into the future. It is having a bond one could have never imagined become a lifelong dedication to a greater good.

THE SWEET SMELL OF SISTERHOOD In 2009, sorority recruitment switched from once per semester to only one formal recruitment session in january just before the start of the spring semester. The change has been a positive catalyst for the recruitment process: in the past two years, the number of women going through rush has nearly doubled. In the spring of 2009, 184 women went through sorority recruitment while in the spring of 2011 there were 303 women that tested out Greek life. Michelle Castro, assistant dean of students and coordinator of fraternity and sorority life, believed the increase in numbers was due to more than just the fact that rush was held only once a year. The recruitment process has been improved with the use of the ICS software which is convenient for chapters as well as advisorsfi Castro said. uThe Panhellenic Council is using Facebook, IBIS news and on campus posters to promote sorority recruitment. The impressive turnout for greek life was proof of Castro's success.

Photo courtesy Erica Hord BAND OF BROTHERS Junior Santiago Rodriguez and his Zeta Beta Tau brothers wait for another potential new member to take the stand at the rock during reveal. Twice a year, young men went out to be recruited by the 13 fraternities on campus. Each fraternity hosted different events throughout the week to reach out to potential new members. HI was open to anything really, Yoshio Wilson, freshman and new Sigma Alpha Epsilon brother said. I'I just wanted to meet more people. I went to a lot of events but after a few I whittled it down to one or two frats that I was really interested in. But some men know which fraternity they want to be in from the very beginning and stay close to that group throughout the rushing process. HUnlike other guys who rushed several fraternities, I knew I only wanted to rush Beta Theta Pi, Brett Hollenbach, freshman, said. I saw the big sign out on the rock, attended the first event and got their event card. From then on I knew the rush schedule and went to as many things as I could?! Events ranged from barbecues to beach days, to the prestigious invite-only smokers held just before a bid is offered. HMy two favorite events were air boating in the everglades and the beach day. Air boating - how many people can say they can do that in January? Wilson said. These men spent their time at each event to narrow their choices down and increase their chances of getting a bid in a brotherhood III only knew of one frat going into rush, Phil Mahoney, sophomore and Phi Delta Theta brother, said. So I spent my week really getting to know as much of the brothers as possible to make sure it was for me, It's important for the brothers to find men that will complement their established brotherhood and what it stands for and for potential new members to feel comfortable, III chose Beta because of how I didn't have to pretend to be someone else whenever we hung out, Hollenbach said. I think its important that you be yourself because these guys are going to be a big part of your life for the next ,1 Eat GETTING TO KNOW THE NEW GUY The brothers of Sigma RALLY, RALLY Senior Andrew Luer and his brothers of Pi Kappa Phi get riled up during reveal at the rock, marking the end of another fraternity recruitment. Alpha Epsilon greet their new brother with high fives and a T-shirt. For many, joining a fraternity is a lifelong pledge few years. One thing that each rushee was sure of was what they were looking to get themselves into: a lifelong brotherhood, that would continue beyond just four years of college. HI was looking for a good brotherhood, a good amount of people that I could hang out with and no one that I couldnt see myself hanging out with, Wilson said. Being from the south, I wanted to join a fraternity that is credible in other places in the US. Some men were turned off from fraternity recruitment because they feared the time commitment would be too much, that their grades would fall and that they would lose any friends that they have made outside of the Greek system. But after rushing, they found a balance. IICollege life is so much better now than before rush, H Mahoney said. HBeing in a frat taught me how to be more organized with my time and I've learned a lot of great life lessons since I rushed. Becoming apart of Greek life also opened up other opportunities to become involved on campus. Through getting to lmow the brothers, new members could expand their interests and join campus organizations that they may not have known about otherwise. HNow that I am in a fraternity I am definitely more involved than I was last semester. I feel like I am apart of something bigger than myself, H Hollenbach said. At the end of recruitment, making a final decision could be very stressful, Joining a fraternity wasnlt just about the kegs and the mixers; it was about creating a long-lasting bond. And for many men who went through recruitment it was difficult to settle in to just one group.

I am constantly proud to be a member of this sisterhood, however, watching my sisters come together and support each other during Greek Week was the moment I learned what it really means to be a sister. Greek Week creates a lot of competitive spirit between all the fraternities and sororities. In this competitive environment, I wasnt just impressed by our ability to contend. I was inspired by our ability to unite. I was captivated by the spirit of our sisterhood. Whether cheering each other on during Olympic Day or holding each others hands as we donated blood, no sister was left out or unsupported in our endeavor to about your organization by looking at a group picture? What I love the most about Alpha Delta Pi is the fact that we are more than just a group of girls who do diamonds in every single picture. It is much more than that. It is raising over $15,000 in only three days for our international philanthropy, the Ronald McDonald House. It is achieving the highest cumulative Panhellenic GPA for the past two years. Most importantly, it is knowing that no matter what, these girls are the ones that will never leave my side. ADPi is a diverse group of girls all with different strengths, interests and goals, but .t at the end of the day we all come together because we live for each other.

A: I transferred here as a sophomore from a very small school and adjusting to the big school atmosphere was a challenge. During my first couple of weeks I was overwhelmed with the sea of students passing me everyday on campus. One of the things that stood out to me was the amount of students on campus wearing Greek letters and I liked the idea of a smaller community within the student body, so I joined Delta Phi Epsilon. I never knew how proud being a Deepher would make me until the morning after initiation when I put on my letters and displayed my commitment with pride. I knew I was part of something special and as we say, III felt the DPhiE? That day was the first time I realized the LITTLE BLACK DRESS Juniors Sarah Jones, Natalie Diaz, senior Carolina Scaramutti and sophomore Ryan Anne Cahart all dressed up for their annual formal. organization was much more than a sorority; it was a family, one that I couldnit be happier to be a part of. Q: What would someone not know about your organization by looking at a group picture? A: One of the best things about DPhiE sisters is their involvement on campus outside our organization. DPhiE is home to many strong and committed women who dedicate their time and efforts on countless executive boards, teams and clubs. We have sisters who are involved in everything from oheerleading to UMTV. The legacy of DPhiE is present in virtually every honors society. Its easy to see that we are proud to bleed purple and gold but what is less obvious is the loyalty and dedication we have to UM as a whole.

Yet on the night of our national awards banquet, Alpha Mu took home seven Pearl Awards, the Community Service of the Year award and the Diamond Chapter of the Year. It made me so proud to know that with so many other chapters present at the convention, we were recognized for being one of the top. I know how hard my sisters work every day on a personal level but this moment proved their hard work paid off on a national level too. This moment made me proud to be a sister. What would someone not know about your organization by looking at a group picture? We have some of the most kind, genuine and loving girls in our sisterhood. You can truly call anyone in our chapter a sisterii and mean it. In addition to help on a personal level, the sisters jump at the chance to do philanthropic work.

What moment made you proud to be apart of your sorority or fraternity? My proudest moment with the Delta Lambda Phi gentlemen has been the day of our induction ceremony. After two long years and many struggles it was nice to feel like we would finally achieve something as a fraternity and not a simple club or organization. The ceremony itself was wonderful, but it was the fact that we got through it all together and fought for everything that meant we truly earned it. That was also the moment that I think we realized how Close we had become over the past couple of years. Before then it felt like a job to get ourselves to the point of induction. That all Changed, and now we're better for it. We are a family. Accepting, Ambitio us, Diverse What would someone not know about your organization by looking at a group picture?

We will fight for the rights of others as strongly as we fight for our own. We are not a gay fraternity; everyone is welcome. DLP's impact on this school will be felt and we will change the social scene for the better.

A moment that made me proud to be part of my fraternity was when we won Delta Gamma Anchorsplash this fall. My chapter has a very extensive and proud history with DG on our campus and we always make an effort to perform well in Anchorsplash, which is their week long fall philanthropy. What made me most proud was how the brothers all came together to make sure that we would be successful in this event. Our chapter is a group of diverse and talented men and everyone was able to contribute in their own way.

A: After an abysmal 2009 year, the fraternity has not looked back at its past but rather placed itself in a position to succeed by accepting phenomenal new brothers and taking on any challenges presented to them. Zeta Beta Tau has excelled through the fraternal community and created a new image for itself. The dream of brothers wearing their ZBT letters with pride around the campus has become a reality by being a legitimate contender in intramural sports and giving back to the community. The traditions held and the bonds formed as a brother are irreplaceable. Michael Jordan said, nSome people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen. ZBT truly makes it happen and that is why it's Great to be a ZEEB . Q: What would someone not know by looking at a group picture of our organization? A: A group picture does not define who or what ZBT is. Zeta Beta Tau is not a group of friends or acquaintances, we are brothers. AII brothers have a relationship that will be everlasting. This is put on display as soon as a brother walks through the front door of the fraternity house on 1530 Liguria Avenue.

Having been a founding member of this fraternity I have had the opportunity to see Delta Epsilon Psi grow over the past three years and become the organization that it is today. My proudest moments arise from the successful events that my fraternity has held that benefit the community at large. One of the founding principles is a commitment to community service. To be a part of a brotherhood that adds such value to society through its dedication to advance the greater good of all people makes it an honor to stand alongside my brothers. Our charity of choice is the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. We have raised more than $7,500 since our start on campus.

Our chapter brothers from around the nation attended in celebration of our chapter's milestone. The event took an entire academic year of planning, fundraising and effort to raise the funds for the hotel and reach out to all of our alumni and brothers.

Lambda Theta Phi accepts men of all cultures, creeds, religions and walks of life. We strive to promote diversity not only at the UM but also around the nation.

From nights out at a party or a nightclub to serving our community the morning after, each experience we have had really shows the bond we share as brothers.

Without a doubt, winning chapter of the year this past summer at our National Convention was an incredible highlight in my experience of Sigma Lambda Gamma sisterhood.

What would someone not know about your organization by looking at a group picture? We are small but mighty. Our chapter is composed of campus leaders: over half of the sisters in the Alpha Gamma chapter hold executive board positions in other organizations. We have a sister who founded a medical fraternity, a SAFAC chair, a manager of the Rathskeller, HHM coordinators, sisters involved in CSA, Horizons, P100, PRSSA and AdGroup, all while maintaining an unparalleled sisterly bond and incredible academic standards. To be a sister of the Ablazin' Alpha Gamma chapter is to be well rounded and driven, but, most of all, a true woman of distinction.

First and Finest What moment made you proud to be a part of your sorority? The moment that made me proud to be a part of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated was reading through the history book that was given to us after we were initiated into the Iota Nu chapter. The book really opened my eyes to what these women had to go through to start an organization and maintain such prestige throughout the world because of their service and sense of ttother. Throughout history there have been road blocks placed in front of AKA. The women who have lived, participated and remained members through everything, showed me a uniform strength of all AKA women. It gave me a different sense of pride in my organization: one that not everyone will be able to experience. What would someone not know about your organization by looking at a group picture? In a picture we are unified as one, however we are all vastly different. We have different personalities, opinions, and activities. You may see us in heels and pearls in a picture, but that does not hinder us from participating in community service and other initiatives to further uplift the black community. We focus on our studies, which lead us to the award for highest chapter GPA for sororities in our council. We are now able to call each other sister in the truest way. My sisters are some of the most down-to-Earth women that I know. We are approachable and would caution you not to judge a book by its cover.

Being able to see how many of our alumni have gone on to become leaders and professionals in their fields and in their communities truly made me proud to be a part of my chapterts legacy and this fraternity.

In pictures, we are often seen smiling and laughing together and with others because we are a very fun-loving chapter. But what you would not know from just looking at us is that every single one of us has a very strong, unique character that makes us a diverse chapter.

One moment that made me proud to be a member of Kappa Alpha Psi was the Kappa Kandlelight womenis appreciation dinner that took place during Kappa Week. The dinner was the epitome of Class and sophistication. That night we personified what it is to be a true gentleman by preparing dinner, providing entertainment and catering to the needs of fifty special women on campus. One of the five objectives of our fraternity is to inspire service in the publicts interest and it felt like we were fulfilling that objective because of the way that we carried ourselves and the class that we showed. The message that we were sending was significant because it helped further -atM l. y, Excellence the cause of chivalry and general respect towards women. We lead by example, which is why the moment left an emphatic impression on me. What would someone not know about your organization by looking at a group picture? We dress up all the time and we try our best to maintain a good reputation, but there is much more to us than just trying to make ourselves look good. We work hard to provide the student body with quality events and programs and we take everything that our organization represents very seriously and sometimes it is difficult for people to see that just based on how things look on the outside. A lot of commitment, dedication, and diligence goes into everything that we do.

A distinctive moment for me was one that fully exemplified our motto, ItFriendship is Essential to the Soul. I didnt know anyone in California when I traveled there this summer, but one of my older Chapter brothers gave me contact. Although I had not met this brother, he picked me up from the airport. After fraternizing, we called other Omega men were genuinely interested in getting to know me as a brother and as a friend.

Greeks express themselves through costumes and disguises When thinking about fraternity and sorority social events, the stereotypes that came to mind were togas, kegs and a serious lack of inhibition. Think again. Instead, mixers, date dashes and crush parties were held in a variety of locations with a slew of inventive and Facebook photo-worthy themes. From lounges in the Grove, to restaurant takeovers, to dockside Views of Downtown Miami, fraternities and sororities went above and beyond to make events memorable.

Instead, semi- formals arid formals were about being dressed to impress. Held at the end of the semesters, these events were more upscale than an average mixer or date function.

Photo by Maria Martinez iii Greeks give back more For Greeks philanthropic service is not just an obligation: its tradition. Fraternities and sororities create their own opportunities to get involved by hosting at least one main event during the year to raise money for a designated philanthropy. For organizations, these events developed into a tradition that was highly anticipated by both the host and participating organizations. tiWe raised over $10,000 for the Ronald McDonald House, which was a huge success for us because it was double the amount we raised the previous year. We are looking forward to another successful event? Meaghan Gaynor, junior and president of Alpha Delta Pi, said. Chapters established imaginative fundraising methods that succeeded in drawing in more participants and money each year. For Delta Gammals Anchor Splash, participants raced in the campus pool to raise money for Miami's Lighthouse for the Blind. Lambda Chi Alpha's Watermelon Bust had participants slip and side on a tarp covered in watermelon juice for the North American Food Drive and Sigma Phi Epsiloan Dance for the Heart got Greeks moving to a choreographed dance to raise money for Week of the Heart. Kilt was great watching our inaugural philanthropy event go off so successfully this year. It really inspired our young guys to do great things for Phi Belt in the future, Matt Cullingham, senior and president of Phi Delta Theta, said. Their Phide and Seek event raised $5,700 for Lou Gehrigis disease, In addition to raising money. this extensive philanthropic activity effectively builds relationships among Greeks. A coaching system used for most events, involves two members of the host organization assigned to a participating organization, This way other organizations easily jumped in to help make a difference and allowing brothers and sisters to bond. tiNot only are the coaches a huge help, but it's a great way to get to know members of other organizations. By the end of the week you have built a great bond with the coaches and feel closer to the organization as a whole. It's definitely one of my favorite parts of ifundraisingi Lauren McCole, sophomore and Vice president of programming for Delta Phi Epsilon, said. Outside of the Inter-Fraternity and Panhellenic Councils' more extravagant events, members of the Multi-Ethnic Greek Council and the National Pan-Hellenic Council hosted smaller fundraisers and co-programrned with other organizations. In the fall, the women of Sigma Lambda Gamma, Alpha Kappa Alpha and Zeta Tau Alpha teamed up and brought a pink fire truck to campus raising money and awareness for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Other fraternities and sororities branched out to participate in eco-friendly events or community beautification projects.

Greek Week, a week of events that put all Greek-life organizations in competition with one another, was essentially the Greek homecoming. For those who worked behind the scenes they were able to see the effort put forth by all the oragnizations for their successes. llUtl is different than just being a member of a fraternity because you can really step back from the heat of competition to see all of the hard work each organization puts forth to win each event and raise money for United Cerebral Palsy, Steve GREEKS Frederico, junior and philanthropy co-chair, said. flit was very inspiring to witness the Greek community coming together for this great cause. 'l The two co-chairs, Matt Cullingharn and Cassie Glenn, planned the activities for almost a year in advance. This year's theme was Time Warp. 'lWe thought it would be a fun way to cover a lot of different time periods and interests of the Greek community? Cassie Glenn, senior, said. In addition to the two co-chairs, there was an executive board of 18 members who were unaffiliated from their Greek organization for the duration of the week in order to raise money for UCP. llI think Greek Week is more about being affiliated in the Greek community in general, rather than in a particular organization, Alex Fruin, Organized Cheer co-chair, said. tlSo while it was somewhat hard to see how much fun rny sorority was having going all out, lfelt more aware of the UM Greek community as a whole than I have in my three and a half years at this school? Greek Week was about coming together as a community, which was most apparent in the great turnout for Organized Cheer, where fraternities and sororities came up with short skits and dances that were supposed to complement the theme. In line with the Time Warp theme each organization was assigned an old movie that they were to reenact for the judges lKMy favorite event is definitely O-Cheer, but specifically, I love the Kaos dance that goes on every year before the other organizations perform, 'J Allison Bobzin, a member of Delta Delta Delta, said. l'It was so exciting to see the organizations come together.

Through the various groups men and women were encouraged to develop their passions for service, leadership, culture, their professions or hobbies. The members of these organizations blossomed into well-rounded people and were able to be competitive in their prospective fields. Beyond self-improvement, however, these men and women proved to be positive forces in the local community and worldwide.

And finally we were able to generate a solidarity within the minority students on this campus that if continued will prove to be a pivotal step not only in BOND's goals but the goals of all of us as individuals. Which event best exemplifies what BOND is all about? Why? A: I think that BOND is multifaceted and each event represented a facet of what BOND is about. Bamboozled dealt with how blacks are portrayed in the media, Beyond Dinner and a Movie we dealt with a plethora of relationship issues, many of them is- sues that are not usually talked about.

They also held several prayer reunions where people from different religions taught one another their prayers. Last spring they put together the Sound of Faith concert that gathered the UM Gospel Choir, a musical reading of the Quran and other incredible performances. Every semester JAM hosted Abraham's Tent, one of their biggest events in which the UM community is encouraged to share how religion plays a role in their lives. Last Abraham's Tent gathered around 40 people who were then divided into sub-groups to have profound CULTURAL EXCHANGE During thejewish explanation and prayer session sophomores Dallia Millan, discussions about the role of religion in each of their lives.

Cohen prepared to bowl. With her eyes steady on the pins, she swung her arm backwards and then gently released the ball with ease, getting her second strike of the day. Between bowls, Cohen took long sips of her Cuban coffee, an early morning coping mechanism ill wish you guys had come on a normal oil pattern day, Cohen said. Cohen referred to the oil conditioner applied to the lanes. In the early days of bowling the conditioner was meant to protect them. Now that lanes are often covered in lacquer or polyurethane, the oil is simply part of the sport and players must adjust their strategies to bypass the slippery surface and get the ball to the pins. These strategies were largely thought up as a result of teamwork. As the group bloomed they worked together to make up for the fact that they did not have a coach. favorite pastimes.

Everyone knows the social side of bowling but it is actually huge competitively speaking. There are certain schools in the nation where students go just to bowl, if you can believe that. But for now the team was content just to be more social and to use bowling to reduce academic stress, 'iltis better than doing your homework on a Tuesday night, Scorzello said.

The team is student run and all members are encouraged to contribute to choreography. At the end of the semester, they held a showcase where they performed about four to five dances. They departed from their strictly hip hip style and performed a contemporary piece. This high-energy dance team performed for a womenis basketball halftime show, the Homecoming football game pep rally and they even competed annually in the Homecoming Organized Cheer event. EtWe practice twice a week but we like to take dance classes outside of UM and are always looking for different ways to grow as dancers,n Sisi Portuondo, junior, said.

Miami Motion is the only lyrical arid jazz-based dance group on campus, which also tries to include some hip-hop and tap in to their routines lllt's going to be hard to incorporate tap because we dont have anywhere to practice, but we hope to add hip-hop to have a more diverse range of dancing for occasions such as pep rallies. We want to get more involved on campus and be more spirited? Erin Podracky, junior, said. Miami Motion helped kick off the year's first football game by participating in the pep rally where they danced to When Love Takes Overfl There were four dancers in their debut but theylre second pep rally performance to Rock You Like A Hurricane included more dancers and they hoped to continue expanding. In addition to their pep rally performances, Miami Motion danced at a basketball game halftime show, performed at an Up tTil Dawn event and they participated in Canefest since their inception.

Photo by Caitlin Good Organizations 3 03 h Harry Potter fans have united for the love of a game: Quidditch. UM Muggle Quidditch registered as a new club with the Committee on Student Organizations. In I.K. Rowlingis books, Quidditch is a fast, dangerous, exciting game in which two teams, flying on broomsticks, compete for points scored by throwing a ball--the Quaftlenthrough hoops on either end of a large grassy pitch, according to the Harry Potter Lexicon website. In our non-wizarding, or muggle world, Quidditch was played on foot, but in the spirit of the game, every player had to have a broom between their legs at all times. Its a beast of a game, Alex Locust, junior and founder, said. To an on-looker the clubs practices looked like a giant game of dodgeball combined with elements from tag and basketball-- but Without the dribbling. tiWhat makes it difficult is holding a broom and only being able to use one hand for throwing and catching, Hernan Martinez, Muggle Quidditch replenishes imagination and connects with the inner child sophomore, said. Co-founder Samantha Sutliff wanted to start a team after hearing about the muggle adaptation on the Internet and in the news. During her freshmen year Sutliff jokingly proposed the idea, but after seeing an overwhelmingly positive response, she and Locust began making the club a reality. People donit really take us seriously? Sutliff, junior, said. But now that more people are involved its less silly. Pm shocked at how nerdy this campus is. rm um i tang... Hum r- Wci .4 The clubs roster boasted '18 members its first year. The sport spread to over 400 colleges and 300 high schools across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, India, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand; UP and FSU both had established teams and UP hosted a statewide tournament every spring called the ttSwamp Cup? tilt brings what inspired people as kids to life? Locust said. By Sandra M. Montalvo THE EQUPIMENT In the books, the snitch is a small, magicai, golden biudgers, or dodgeballs, to hit the opposing teams Chasers and stop them Beaters use ball that is fast and hard to catch. In muggie quidditch, the snitch is a neutral player whose job is simply to avoid the two teams, seekers any way possible. By Sandra M. Montalvo from scoring. When a chaser is hit by a bludger he or she has to drop any bet! they are carrying and run back to their team's goai to re-enter play. The Chasers use the quatfle, a deflated voiieyball, to score, by throwing them through the goal hoops. WWW iiiiiii The hoop is the goal through which Chasers score with the quaffies. A keeper defends the hoop. Players bought their brooms from the club and were encouraged to decorate them, as they would need them for every game and every practice. The players had to have one hand on their brooms at all times during play. MUGGLE MOMENT Even wizards need to stay in shape. The Muggle Quidditch team takes some time to condition before mounting their broomsticks.

The sweet and salty fusion of flavors danced on the tips of people's tongues and tingleol their senses as they strolled down the sidewalk, past the University Green and towards the library. On either side of the concrete path, colored tents boasted exotic fruits, blossoming flowers and fresh, light ceviche. For those who attended years ago this was an unfamiliar sight, but for current students and any future attendees the Farmer's Market was a campus staple. The term farmers market is common to describe any setting in which local farmers set up tables and tents to sell their produce. But Student Government made the title of this event possessiveel-Tarmerls Marketegiving 80 President Christina Farmer a legacy of her own. MI was really excited with the turnout? Farmer, senior, said. l'The location was ideal to maximize student and administration attendance It can get bigger and better but for the first year it met my expectations. H This year was a huge success, Press Secretary Ryan Aquilina, junior, said. llStuolents really took notice of what we were doing. Even President Shalala came to the Farmers Market. The market was just one of several SG initiatives that came to fruition. They also implemented Rent-avText, the bookstores textbook rental service, an ICEE machine in the C-store and a new course search offerings page that allowed students to search for courses based on subject, time and day of the week. Despite all this Vice-President Pietro Bortoletto said their greatest accomplishment was much more subtle HOur biggest accomplishment is not tangible? Bortoletto, senior, said, T'We can't point to it and show it to you Its more of a cultural change with the administration and the student body. We proved that Student Government is worth your while and will meet the needs of students. Farmer agreed that the administrations involvement and their growing confidence in the worth of SC was an important part of their work this year. Hlt took me five months to get the ICEE AN ICEE TREAT The new ICEE machine in the C-store mixes to provide a refreshing treat between Classes and during study sessions. The machine, a student government initiative, dispensed four flavors: coke, lemonade, Cherry and blue raspberry to satisfy all taste buds.

Now, I rarely see someone leave the C-store without one?' Her adamant character not only got the ICEE machine, but proved SGls worth. Dining services hoped to use 80 in the future to get input on possible new dessert options Overall they agree the year was a triumph because of their drive to be a visible force on campus and the importance they put on each student's voice. The philosophy was about putting students first. . .that was the underlying tone of everything we didX' Aquilina said. llWhen you're more Visible and you get students talking about 80 you can prove to administration that you have student support? Farmer said. lllt was a great year. We focused on the motto of Putting U First' and that was really important. H Despite a successful year, some of their initiatives were simply too complex to accomplish in just one year! but they are confident that after laying the foundation for these goals that the new group will be able to pick up where they left off.

Frank Rodriguez Sophomore HITTING THE RIGHT SPOT LEGAL HITS AREAS The art of fencing has been around since the early 19th century and is played with three different weapons: foil, sapre and epee. The fencing team practices with the foil in the evenings at the Wellness center. Competitive foil is a weapon that targets the torso, shoulders and the back. Hits are scored only with the tip. Hits made at the side of the blade do not count. Only a single hit can be scored by either fencer at one time. By Kenneth Garcia and photo by George Wu ORGANIZATIONS OH YOU FENCING, HUB?

When he came to America. he saw an opportunity to bring his devotion to the sport to other students. 111 wanted to have a competitive teamf he said. NWe started from scratch this year and we've come a long way. It The club traveled to the University of Florida for a fencing camp and then hosted its first ever tournament. Members competed against other college clubs, including many Ivy Leagues, and Prada came in 15th place out of 100 fencers. The club had 27 members and made up what Prada called a great, cohesive group. The group was split up based on the three different weapons used in fencing: some used foil, some sabre and some epee. A typical practice started with 15 minutes of stretching followed by an hour-1ong warm-up of running, pushups, sit-ups, squats, and sprints. After that, the actual fencing commenced. Prada managed to balance his fencing With academics and other commitments. He served as treasurer for the Biomedical Engineering Society, worked at the medical campus doing research on kidney cancer. created his masters project and took 20 credits each semester. The demanding nature of the sport required members to be fit, making the sport physically and mentally stimulating. HNot only does fencing keep you in shape, but it's very good for your menta1 stability, Prada said. ttWhen youlre fencing, that's all you're doing. You're focused. It's mainly a mental game. It incorporates the Whole body? By Brooke Lemaitre Fencing 3 1 5 , WOMEN'S SOCCER GOOOAAL!

Shelby Juarez, sophomore, said. ttIt's great when we come together and participate in our service day sites and help out in each others organizations.

HIt's a type of community that thrives because of our drive to help one another become our own version of an active citizen, Juarez said. Eaton looks out over Lake Osceola next to the School of Architecture. It is located right in the center of campus, so it is close to the two dining halls, the UC and the Wellness Center.

Photos by Jessica Bryant Best Dorm Ever 359 h Lottery Winners enjoy the easy living in the UV With the luck of the draw, seniors Krystal Green and Kayla Dittrich won spots in the University Village lottery. The University Village, better known as the UV, was the place to reside on-campus. As the newest housing facilities and the closing of the apartment area, demand has gone through the roof for this prime real estate. Green and Dittrich both lived on campus for four years, but in the UV were excited to be able to have their own space. ttWhat I like most about the UV is having my own bedroom and bathroom, Green said. HWhen I lived in the apartments, everyone had to share rooms and there was one bathroom for four or six people? She now shares the living room area and kitchen with her roommate and former suitemate and says they got along great and shared their space well. til love having my own room and more privacy, but my favorite thing about living in the UV is that its cozier, homier and more modern, Dittrioh said. Despite being ort-campus, the UV was located on the outskirts of the University and posed a challenge for students attempting to make it to class on time Sometimes it's a hassle if I'm in a rush to get to class and the shuttle is full? Green said. hi prefer to walk if I'm not in a hurry. But the UV made up for this with their own convenience store and shuttle stops. Dittrich agreed that the apartment area was more convenient because it was closer to the center of campus and noted that there were stricter rules in the UV. in addition to this the women expressed the feeling that life in the village was less conclusive to social life. By junior or senior year people already have their own groups so people in the UV don't interact too much with neighbors if they don't know them, Green said. But this doesn't stop the crowds from wanting a a spot of their own in one of the seven buildings. By Erica SteinmiHer if r i, t is: A i!

This complex of seven buildings provides rooms for juniors and seniors that still want to live on campus with more independence than the residence halls offer. There are a variety of apartments in the UV and with that a variety of prices. If you are looking for Cheap to live in, consider a four bedroom, two bathroom. Each apartment offers private bedrooms and spacious bathrooms. The Ibis Shuttle stops continously throughout the day for convenience getting around campus and there is even a UV convenience store.

Graduate student Alyssa Lucker uses the shuttles,which service most major buildings, parking lots and Metrorail station at six to eight minute intervals. Maps, arrival predictions and schedules for the shuttle system were made available to its users by going online to www.umshuttles.com. THE FOOD COURT Going back home to grab a bite is a hassle for those that travel great distances to come to campus. The food court in the University Center proves resourceful for meeting up with friends and eating breakfast, lunch and dinner like sophomores Ashley Krones, Brian Talbott and Michael Leardo. Below are the popular choice available inside: Wendy's Jamba Juice Mango 0 Manny's Cafe Panda Express Sushi Maki Salsarita's Nikos Market Square PARKING SITUATION Between 11 am. and 2 p.m., traffic is not the only problem for commuters. Once they arrive, the hunt begins for a decent parking spot that will allow them to get out of their car without damaging it. Senior Juan Silverio makes sure to get to the School of Communication parking lot early because of it's popularity and proximity. 201012011 Student Parking Permit Prices: Annual Commuter Permit $444 Annual Discount Permit $226 Annual Motorcycle Permit $88 RED ROAD COMMONS A mere 1.2 miles from the heart of the University, Red Road Commons offers the opportunity to live off campus, while staying close to the action. Residents like sophomore Wyatt Krapt and junior Daniel Mesquita can easily walk or skateboard to class and back home for lunch. Walking distance and miles from Red Road Common to the following: Baseball Field .3 mi. Richter Library 1.1 mi. Physics Building 1.2 mi. METRORAIL STOP With multiple stops along U81, the Metrorail offers an inexpensive and convenient way to get to campus without driving through Miami traffic. Junior Joshua Gonsalvez plugs in his iPod and jams out to house music to pass the time and get pumped up for his architectural structure class. Two dollars buys you a one-way ticket on the Metrorail, far cheaper than a gallon of gas. Has 22 accessible stations approximately one mile apart Free Wi-Fi in rail cars Operates from 5 am. to midnight, seven days a week STUDYING IN THE UC A common and popular place for commuters to pass the time in between classes lays on the second floor of the University Center, better known as the I-Lounge.

Junior Coral Millican explored the various facets of student involvement assisting with No Zebras, Canefest, Committe on Student Organizations and Eaton Residential College. By Liliana Oyalzun CORAL MILLICAN Q: How has UM changed your personality? A: UM has not necessarily changed my personality as much as it has allowed me to find my personality and identify my passions. The diversity at UM has given me the opportunity to experience things I never would have tried on my own. Q: How would define a Canes thing? A: I think that there are many little lquirksl that I would consider to be a Canes thing. What they all have in common is that they are essentially only understood and acceptable if you are a University of Miami Hurricane. Any of the things that would be a Canes thing, are unique to our community, to being a part of the Hurricane family. It bridges beyond whether you live on-campus or off- campus, what your major is, when you graduate lor already graduatedI, or what student organizations you are involved in, and unifies us to being a part of the dynasty that is the IUI. Q: Whats your favorite spot on campus? A: My favorite spot on campus is alongside the Lake next to Eaton. Itls gorgeous and peaceful, with the small butterfly garden, our own set of gliders lwith adjacent power outlets for my Iaptopb. I love that it is secluded while still allowing me to feel like I am a part of the energy of campus. Because it certainly doesn't hurt that I live and work in Eaton!
