In Reside Stude life

t~iallife

Even in the midst of half a dozen courses and all of the homework and studyingthatcomes with them, many UD students find things to take their minds off the work. Whether it's spreading holiday spirit across campus and throughout the city with Christmas on Campus, spending a weekend getting to know fellow students on a UD retreat or dancing for hours on end with the Dance Marathon, student life does not always revolve around schoolwork.

UD's first Field Day, a charity concert event for the Invisible Children Foundation, was held on rainy Saturday, September 8,

e

2007.

The concert, featuring three up-and-coming bands, was scheduled to begin at 4 p.m, but as the starting time drew near, so did a storm. The heavy rains and lightning forced a threehour delay of the concert and resulted in the cancellation of the concert's scheduled hosts, "Real World" alumni Brad Fiorenza and Cameran Eubanks.

Despite the rain and the newly muddy Stuart Field, students were ready and eager to have a good time when the gates reopened at 7 p.m.

The concert kicked off at 7:30 p.m. with a performance by Marking Twain, a rising indie band with roots in Cincinnati. As the evening progressed, the crowd size grew measurably and the level of excitement and fun was palpable when Kidz in the Hall took the stage around 8:30 p.m. The concert closed with a performance by the band Ordinary Peoples. As the last strains of music faded around 11 p.m., it was clear that the evening had been a definitive success.

"It was a bit of a disappointment because of the rain delay, but it was a surprising success. I am excited to be a part of it and anxious to see how it expands in following years," said Nick Pleiman, a sophomore member of the Campus Activities Board.

Many people enjoy the Metanoia experience so much that they decide to apply to be a part of the team for the next semester.

e It seems that one is never too old to get into the spirit of Halloween. Every year at the end of October, UD's campus is appropriately spooky and haunted by all manner of both creepy and creatively costumed students. Since many college students would rather not spend their money purchasing a Halloween costume, ingenuity and resourcefulness play a big part in choosing what to be on Halloween night. Although the holiday fell on a Wednesday this year, many students still found the time to get dressed up and show off their costumes in the student neighborhood.

"People got really creative with their outfits this year. It was fun watching all the different costumes go by while sitting on my porch with my roommates. The birthday troll stopped by, followed by all seven dwarves. It was fun that so many people got so into the holiday even though it was in the middle ofthe week," said senior Emily DeCenzo of her Halloween experience. Popular costumes included the Spartans from the recent movie 300 and the title character of Borat. Fortunately for anyone who chose to venture out (barely) dressed as a Spartan, it was unseasonably warm for late October.

"Think global, act local." During this year's Human Rights Week, UD students truly took this to saying to heart. This year's committee tried to inform UD students on human rights issues right here in Dayton.

All week there were discussions about five specific issues of human rights that affect the Dayton area - health, education, housing, law, and finance. Each day had a different theme.

Professionals in the Dayton community whose life's work involves dealing with injustices in these areas spoke to the attentive students about the day's theme.

The keynote speaker was Brandt Goldstein, a lawyer and author of"Storming the Court." The book is about the true story of a group of Yale Law School students who sued the United States government on behalf of Haitian refugees in the infamous Guantanamo camp and won. They challenged the government up to the Supreme Court and none of them had even passed the bar. Goldstein spoke about his fascinating book and about student activism and empowerment in issues of human rights.

The closing event was the Career Panel and dinner for the committee and anyone who wished to share their concerns about human rights. Some panel members were Bo Shuff, Josie Olsvig, Melinda Elikins, Mark Godsey, and Kelly Bohrer. The panel members were men and women from all over Ohio who talked about how they turned their passions into professions. It was moving and inspiring to hear from people with such zeal for human rights.

Stephanie Zielonko and Erin Aldrich were the co-coordinators for this highly successful week.

This year's UD Monologues event was presented by Advocates for Women's Equality and Studio Theatre. The sold-out shows were held March 27th- March 30th at the Black Box Theatre.

This year's monologue discussed many different attributes dealing with gender issues arou nd campus. Some discussed the issues of love, sex, and education. There were a surprising 31 acts this year, all of them entertaining and thought-provoking.

The success of the show has a lot to do with the fact that all monologues were written by UD students. Seeing the hard work and talents of fellow UD students in this show is very impressive and, considering the subject material, often moving. The monologues seek to create future dialogue about campus issues in order to create a stronger campus un ity.

"It is one my favorite activities to do on cam pus. It is great for people who love to act and have strong feelings for women's equality. Being one of the co-directors, it is so thrilling to see all the people piled in the Black Box Theatre just to see us perform. It is more thrilling for us to perform the shows than for the audience. I think it is because all our close friends come to see us perform." - Becca Russo, codirector ofUD monologues

Many students wonder what kinds of different activities are happening on campus that they might enjoy.

The Campus Activities Board (CAB) has the answers. This popular organization on campus promotes exciting events for all students on many weekends. The organization consists of I twenty members split up into two teams that work together to make sure that their fellow students are having a great time.

Rebecca Wehner, a senior dietetics major, joined CAB her sophomore year and is now the co-president. Being the copresident means a lot of hours of work in the CAB office, but, to her, it is all worth it.

"CAB allows students to have a great time and network with others," Wehner said. "Friendships are made and commu nity is created throughout campus."

Wehner loved attending different activities as a first-year, such as ice skating, flowerpot making, and a trip to the Easto n Mall in Columbus, Ohio. Her enjoyment of these activities led her to apply to join the staff the following year.

CAB hosts countless events throughout each semester. Day trips to Chicago, white water rafting trips, 2nd City Comedy Club performances and several movie showings are just a few of the fun things that CAB offered all the students to enjoy.

"Many underclassmen take the most advantage of CAB," Wehner said. "A lot of upperclassmen are striving to get back into it though. About 200 people showed up for our showing of Transformers. But some events are limited to a much smaller number of people."

With that big of a response from the student body, CAB has grown in the past few years to become an even more organized club. Under the leadership of the two co-presidents and 20 staff members, every "Weekend Scene" is a blast for all those students that cannot get off campus easily or just want to fi nd something different to do on a Friday or Saturday night.

"We have made huge strides this year," Wehner said. "We were very disorganized when I started but now are much improved. Events are of high quality and publicity is big now.

We have received a lot of compliments over the years."

The Campus Activities Board has been a huge part of the University of Dayton's campus life. The different Weekend Scenes promote fun activities for students and have done a great job helping people enjoy life in cou ntless different ways.

Watch out Greek organizations, a new fraternity has arrived on campus.

Beta Theta Pi is a fraternity that sought to find student leaders throughout the University of Dayton who never thought they would be a part of Greek life. One of the main slogans of this organization was that these members are "Men of Principle."

Beta first came to UD in the spring of 2007 and recruited 32 students to form the founding fathers of the fraternity. In the fall of2007, the first pledge class of six men joined the fraternity.

Senior Ryan Mayer was one of the founding fathers and soon became the recruitment chairman. He first heard about the Beta from a leadership consultant of the national fraternity that came to UD. "A lot of work went into getting it [the fraternity] started," Mayer said. "But it was very easy because the Greek community welcomed us. Melissa Flanagan [the Assistant Director of Student Involvement and Leadership] was also a big help."

"It is a challenge to recruit busy people since we are looking for guys that are most involved on campus," Mayer said. "The best part by far is getting involved with this great group of leaders on campus that I can now call brothers."

"It takes a lot of energy to build up an organization of this size," Mayer said. "We had to make sure to focus on building brotherhood."

This brotherhood is unique in Beta since they try to recruit men who have proven to be leaders throughout campus. This leadership was put into action when Beta participated in many different service projects throughout the year. Christmas on Campus, Hoops for Hope and Drive 75 are just a few of the service opportunities that members have participated in, promoting Beta to the student body. During the Drive 75 canned food drive, Beta raised the greatest amount of food for a group with less than 40 members.

Some of the future goals of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity are to get their Chapter status. Right now they are only a colony on campus and they must meet certain goals to become a Chapter.

Another prospective desire is to get a house for the members to live in the student neighborhood. With the leadership that is involved already, these goals will hopefully be accomplished in the coming years.

11 As people drove down Brown Street, a large red brick buildingmight have caught their eye with the Greek letters Chi Omega at the top. This was the home of 12 women who either held positions, executive or otherwise, on the cardinal cabinet.

At the University of Dayton, 90 members made up the entire sorority. The purpose for these women was to strive for personal integrity, excellence in academic and intellectual pursuits, intergenerational participation, community service, leadership and social enrichment.

Senior Katie Duffln had been a part of Chi Omega since her freshman year and gained friendships that will last a lifetime.

"I have been able to meet a classy group of UD women who have made the last four years so enjoyable," Duffln said.

"Through associations with Chi-O's, my involvement in campus events has increased, which has enhanced the experience I may have had without Chi-0."

Chi O mega was involved with manydifferentcommunity service projects. Their philanthropy, the Make-a-Wish Foundation, let the members participate in fund raising activities such as their annual corn hole to urnament. They were also involved wit h similar local organizations such as "Young Heroes" to help out the local community.

Some people might wonder about the beneflts of joining a sorority. After joining Chi Omega, the women developed strong relationships with their sist ers, participated in both sorority and campus events to represe nt Chi Omega and were able to branch out and help the community in ways that might not have been possible on their own.

"I would recommend underclassmen join Chi Omega during formal recru itment because there is the largest pledge class at

that time," Duffln said. "But informal is nice for sophomores as well."

Many members of this sorority might not have gotten a chance t o live in the newly renovated ho use that dominated Brown Street, but a house is nothing without all of its members. Senior Anne Schmid lin loved being a part her sorority throughout her college experience and would not have traded it for the world.

"I can't imagine UD witho ut Chi Omega." Schmidlin said.

"I've found so many wonderful friends and Chi 0 has been a great way for me to get involved. I look forward to pet therapy every Friday!"

For psychology majors, being a part of Psi Chi was a great achievement at the University of Dayton.

This national fraternity was originally founded in 1929 and was located throughout over 1,000 colleges in the United States. The main purpose of Psi Chi was for students to encourage, stimulate and maintain excellence in scholarship, and advance the science of psychology.

At the University of Dayton, Psi Chi was installed on May 2, 1959. It was open to anyone studying psychology, whether achieving a major or a minor in the fleld. There were about 30 to 40 members associated with UD's fraternity. Senior Tara Rusciolelli joined the fraternity during her junior year and had become the co-pledge chair on the executive board.

"I make sure all the pledges complete the pledge process and conduct meetings with them," Rusciolelli said. "I also tell them what the fraternity is about and help guide them through the entire pledge process."

To become a member in this elite organization, students must meet certain criteria. A student must be registered as a psychology major or minor with at least three semesters of college work. A minimum grade point average in psychology of 3.0 must be achieved with the completion of at least nine semester hours in the fleld. Finally, a student must be in the upper 35%of the class rank ofone's class in general scholarship.

Considering these qualiflcations, only the students dedicated to academics can be adm itted into the organization.

Psi Chi did a number of different activities throughout campus. Members attended faculty socials to get to know the professors better. They also did service projects and fundraising to help the community around Dayton. The fraternity also gives grants to undergraduates to help with their research in psychology.

"Psi Chi has opened my eyes to what possibilities I have in the future in the psychology fle ld and for graduate schools," Rusciolel li said. "It's nice to know people in your classes and connect with others in the organization."

Rusciolelli recommended all students in the psychology fleld to apply to become a part of Psi Chi. The beneflts were enormous and it was a way fo r students to network with alumni to obtain jobs after graduation.

Psi Chi was an exceptional fraternity at the University of Dayton that strived for excellence in the psychology fleld.

Whether thinking about a career in psychology or graduate school, becoming a part of this organization is a great gateway for future endeavors.

Sometimes people are in need of help that goes deeper than material needs or financial aid. Luckily, at the University of Dayton, an organization called Healing Hearts is available for students to be active in helping others th rough service in their most desperate times of need.

A service club directed by the Center for Social Concern, this organization met as a group the first Monday of every month to discuss different locations in which their volunteers were able to help serve the greater Dayton and Miami Valley areas. The 30 active members were mostly pre-med majors or minors, but the organization was open to al l majors if others were interested. One of the main goals was to gain experience in the medical world for life after college. The prehealth majors were able to get as much experience necessary in their service.

Some of the various locations at which these students volunteered were the Miami Valley Hos pital, Children's Medical Center, Humane Society, Twin Val ley Behavioral Healthcare & Southern Care Hospice. Each location captured a different aspect of the medical field and was a great way for students to have hands on experience outside of the classroom environment.

Jill Gehlfuss, a senior and president of Healing Hearts, has been involved in this organization since her first year at UD. "I love the volunteering experience and the people I've helped serve throughout my time at UD," Gehlfuss said. "It really does help students gain medical experience that they will be using in the future."

This year, Gehlfuss volunteered at the Children's Medical Center and Southern Care Hospice. At Child ren's Medical Center, she was able to touch patient's lives in the emergency room. While at the hospice, she interacted with the patients who had found themselves in desperate situations. Both locations were a great way to have one-on-one time with patients while gaining the knowledge that comes with the experience.

The group was led by five officers that helped ru n meetings and organized sessions where the members volunteered.

"I couldn't have led this organization without my five officers who have worked tirelessly throughout the year," Gehlfuss said. "Even though our group was small and quite flexible, I find that this experience has been a big asset to their future careers."

Healing Hearts has grown throughout the years in size and in popularity. Hopefully, the organization will continue to grow in the future. Many lives have been touched by the selfless individuals of Healing Hearts and their time and effort will never go unnoticed.

It is amazing how students' carpentry skills are put into good use in the midst of academic work and extracurricular activities.

The Habitat for Humanity organization on cam pus ventured out on many Saturday mornings and afternoons this year to help families in need of a place to call their own. Together with the Dayton, Ohio Habitat for Humanity program, these students start and finish about one or two houses every year.

Habitat for Humanity is an international service organization founded by Millard Fuller and his wife, Linda, in 1976. Its mission is to eliminate all poverty housing in the world and the University of Dayton is a strong force in helping to reach this goal.

This year, the organization hosted a poker tournament in the Kennedy Union Pub to help raise money for the houses. About 64 players with eight people per table played at this fundraiser, helping the less fortunate as they enjoyed a game of cards. Habitat also organized socials such as Ultimate Frisbee, potlucks and Halloween Haunted Hayrides this year for the members to enjoy time together off the worksite.

The houses that were built may have taken countless hours of the volunteers' t ime and energy, but in the end, the final product and the appreciation of the new homeowners makes it all worthwhile.

They stuck out in the crowd at all the athletic events wearing their red shirts with pride.

The University of Dayton's Red Scare organization always brought passion and energy to the stands as the athletes played their hearts out. A group of ten students made up the executive committee of this organization.

They met once a week to discuss new themes and ideas that would help shape the way students would be able to cheer on their fellow classmates.

Throughout the past few years, more students have been getting involved in the entire Red Scare group as they showed their support while they had fun in the process. Last year, the committee came up with a new system of receiving tickets for the Men's Basketball games. Students now receive spirit points by going to other sporting events which give them closer seats to the court. While there were some negative opinions about this system, attendance went up for all sporting events throughout the year.

"Red Scare has expanded beyond basketball," senior juliana Brown said. "People used to think it was only supporting basketball, but now it supports all sports."

Some of the major perks of being on the executive committee were that the members were able to get to know the athletes better and get involved with the different teams and coaches. Brown had been a part of the committee for two years, but was a part of the Red Scare student section since her first year on campus.

This year, she held the service chair position.

Another advantage of being on the committee was that the students were able to travel with the teams as they played at different locations across the country. A group of six people on the executive board traveled to North Carolina to watch the A-10 Women's Volleyball Tournament and help get the fans excited for the game.

Most of the committee also traveled down to Cincinnati for the women's Volleyball game at Xavier and across Dayton to Wright State to cheer on the athletes.

In addition to supporting athletics, Red Scare also did service work for the community. An event called Drive 75 helped the Dayton area food banks collect thousands of canned goods for the less fortunate. Originally started six years ago, the service event was a competition between UD and Xavier University to see which school could collect the most food. Campus clubs and organizations all participated in hopes of gathering the most food while keeping in mind the people they were helping.

Red Scare was a huge success this year and hopes to only grow as an organization in the future.

For many students who live on campus during their college careers, the residence hall or house in which one lives is where some of the most important memories are made.

Where you live can have as much infiuence on your college experience as the courses you take.

Residing at UD includes everything from walking all the way up the hill in six inches of snow as a first-year in Stuart to finally having a house and front porch of your . own as a sen1or.

"When I lived in 5 Adele in Stuart it was great. I had classes with just about every girl on my fioor and we always hung out. My favorite roommate here at UD was when I lived in Stuart with Elizabeth Ankle.

My most memorable moment had to be when my roommate got me a cake for my birthday and I accidentally knocked it onto the fioor and me, my roommate and many girls from the fioor cut and ate it off the fioor." Michelle Cunningham

121 If

Many RAs when asked about the RA's life will at some point mention that it is like living your life in a fishbowl. It is true that, to some degree, people are watching what you do and so you must be careful of your actions. But for some reason I did not get this "fishbowl" impression as a first year RA. Maybe because I did not have to change anything about myself upon receiving this position, I was not intimidated about who was watching me and refused to let it change who I was.

My favorite thing about the life of an RA in VWK is, without a doubt, the residents. After you get past all the paperwork and meetings, at the end of the day the most rewarding aspect is your residents. The role an RA plays on his or her floor varies and changes with each person, but the relationship you form with your residents is the most rewarding aspect of the job. Through working with mine I have learned a lot about them as well as myself. My residents are like my family. They are there for me just as much as I am for them, and our reciprocal relationship has brought all of us closer. RAs are certainly not required to wait hand and foot on our residents, but when you are passionate about your job you cannot help but want to help them in any way you can.

There are of course pros and cons to any job, and being an RA is not immune to pitfalls. However, there are so many wonderful things about being an RA that they overwhelmingly outnumber any negative parts of this job. It isn't right for everyone, but I have enjoyed every minute of my personal experience.

Every year, one street in the student neighborhood is honored with the designation of most eventful street of the year. Reigning champion Lowes has always had a busy atmosphere, however it no longer takes the vote for most eventful street for the 2007-2008 school year.

Kiefaber has been the home of many events this year and it takes the cake for the most eventful street this year. Over 70 percent of UD students feel that Kiefaber has had the most going on this year.

The residents of Kiefaber have always displayed a welcoming attitude toward anyone passing by. If a game of corn hole was being played, there was always room for one more player; if a frisbee was accidentally tossed onto a neighbor's porch, they were always encouraged to join in. Waterballoons were often lofted across the street. Kiefaber also has the added bonus of Art Street and the Art Street Ampitheatre to attract crowds. Walking down Kiefaber and hearing the sweet music drifting from the corner of Lawnview and Kiefaber at the Ampitheatre was always a pleasant surprise for anyone ventu ring that way.

Athletics have a way of bringing people together; whether on a team working closely with other students to achieve a common goal, or in the stands (often rabidly) supporting the athletes, UD's Flyer spirit is common to every sport on campus.

After three or four years of higher education, sen ior year can be a very tumu ltuous ti me. With emotions runn ing high and the pressures of moving on to t he "real world" looming, being a senior can be exciting and more than a little daunting at times.

Whether plann ing to pu rsue a career or continuing with education, all can agree that it is important to make the most of these times.

Alexander Totomanov

Alexander Totomanov was quite the accomplished multi-tasker; he had a collection of majors including Economics, Finance, Entrepreneurship, Philosophy and a minor in Psychology. This seems fairly overwhelming and, for most students, it probably would have been. In order to complete all of the requirements fo r his majors, Alex had to take thirty-four credit hours a semester. He ended up with these majors after being unable to choose what he wanted to do with his life, so he decided to keep his options open.

He still is unsure on what his plans are after he grad uates, but he is leaning towards taking a year off and then attend ing law school (yet another degree) . Even with the immense amounts of schoolwork he undertook, he still made room for some activities. They included the River Stewardship program, treasurer of Phi Sigma Tau (a national honor society in philosophy) , Delta Sigma Pi (a professional business fraternity), Beta Gamma Sigma (an honors society of business programs) , a facu lty liaison of Omicron Delta Epsilon (an international economics honor society), Mu Kappa Tau (a marketing national honor society), and tutor for Economics and Philosophy. Alex may have been dedicated to academics, but he hopes that people realize that there is rnore to him than his study habits. "I realize that the description above paints a very "nerd" -ish portrait of me. [...] I hope this is not the impression I leave on people in reality. I am involved with a number of organizations and honors societies on campus."

Katie Jo Brown

Senior

Katy jo Brown majored in Middle Childhood Education with concentrations in math and science. Katie jo did not begin school knowing that she wanted to be a teacher, but she seems to have fou nd her calling in life. As she put it, "I stumbled upon the education profession, but have grown to love it and cannot imagine it any other way." Katie jo believes through teaching she will be able to help others realize the potential they have with in themselves to succeed. After graduation, she wants to work in the Dayton City School district so that she can continue working with Neighborhood School Center, something she got involved with on campus. Reaching out far beyond the Dayton community and, through a UD grant, Katie has been able to connect classrooms here with schools in Lubwe, Zambia. This summer wil l be her third consecutive year traveling to Lubwe but her fi rst as the leader of the trip. Katy jo and others who make the trip "work with the community to accomplish th ings such as establishing a library, hosting the HIVI AIDS Awareness and Testing Day, and connecting classrooms in Zambia with classrooms in Dayton." In addition to this ongoing project, Brown has been involved with Dakota Clu b, Plunges, Urban Teacher Academy, and was Adoptions Co-Chair for Christmas on Campus. Katy jo summed up her college experience: "In just four short years here, I have had the opportunity to be exposed to worlds I had not imagined before. I [. ..] praise departments that offer programs encouraging our students to step outside the realm of a typical college career and make it extraordinary."

Vince Romanin

Vince Roman in majored in Mechanical Engineering and it runs in the family. Vince's parents and older brother are all also mechanical

engineers. After graduating he plans on attending UC Berkley to obtain his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering. Vince's goal is to become an engineering professor and focus on sustainable and appropriate technologies. While attending UD, he participated in Relay for Life and its planning committee, Habitat for Humanity, and the UD Pre-Engineering program. He has also been in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers for four years holding positions such as Athletic Chair and Service Chair. In addition to these extra-curricular activities, he has ventured outside the country for some volunteer work. This past spring he traveled to the Dominican Republic on a breakout trip and helped with the construction of an eco-tourism project. After Vince graduates, he will go to Nicaragua this summer with ETHOS. There he will "work with a solar energy company, Suni Solar, installing solar panels to non-electrified rural areas." Looking back on his college career, Vince says, "From 6 South Marycrest to 428 Stonemill, these were the best five years of my life, and thanks to what I've experienced here, the next five look even better. Thanks to all the people that made it that way (you know who you are). â&#x20AC;˘

Tracv Kemme

Tracy Kemme was a Psychology and Spanish major with a minor in Sociology. She picked her majors because she was "fascinated

by my Psychology and Spanish intro classes." She later added Sociology because of"an eye-opening spring break immersion trip to the border between El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad juarez, Mexico where I learned firsthand about immigration issues and the people affected by them." Kemme wants to use what she has learned over the course of her college career, both inside and outside the classroom, to help Hispanic communities both in the United States and outside the borders. Academics aside, Tracy has also been very active in various service projects. All four years at UD, she has participated in Dance Marathon, taken part in Christmas on Campus and sang every Sunday in the church choir. She also volunteered off campus by acting as a translator this past spring break for Pre-Medicine students on their trip to Santa Lucia, Honduras and by working as a volunteer at a Hispanic outreach agency in Dayton called Casa Amiga. In addition, Kemme has held some leadership roles including Co-President of Students for Life, board member and secretary for Dance Marathon, and co-director of Campus Ministry Lighthouse Retreat. Tracy looks forward to her future after graduation; "I am excited and honored to be graduating with a class of bright and caring people, many of whom are ready to use their education and passions to give back to the wider community."

Most firms have a career ladder.

Ours is a little more advanced.

To keep your career on the up, you have to keep learning.

But we donlt believe that means shutting you in a classroom. We believe it means putting you beside some of the brightest minds in the profession, in open teams where knowledge just rubs off. We believe in putting the right tools at your disposal, like our K-Web. It harnesses the best thinking of the entire organization for you to use wherever you are.

And then, we give you some of the most challenging issues in business to solve.

Together, they give you a formula for success.

Success for your clients, success for yourself.
