There comes a very, very important day each year for UD students everywhere. Whether a young and spritely first year, or a wisened old fourth year, all students patiently await Move-In Day. The seniors, who were in these first years' shoes just a short time ago, wait on their porches for the lines of cars packed with eager new faces and proud parents to file down Kiefaber and Evanston towards the student dormitories. Freshly painted rooms, cleaned carpets and two "extra long" beds soon gain new owners in the halls of Founders, Marianist, Marycrest and Stuart and our University of Dayton adds another great class to our Community.

Renovations for Art! [
This past year, the University of Dayton underwent some drastic and exciting changes to the Visual Arts Department which moved from the Rike Centner to College Park Center 2nd Floor.

I
The Visual Arts Department, whose home has been nestled in the Rike Center for years, moved into the newly renovated 2nd floor of the College Park Center on Brown Street. Here, fine arts, visual arts, photography, visual communication design, and art history majors are all reunited under one roof, differing from the past when photography and visual communication design were split from the fine arts department. The new space is much larger than the Rike, offering brand new studio rooms, a new gallery, woodshop, and classrooms. Although the Rike will always hold a special memory in the hearts of most seasoned art majors, the "CPC" is a happy new home.
esidence This year's AIR artists worked hard 011 summer to create amazing pieces for Founders HoIl, the Women's Center, and the Roesch Library, just to name a few. The interdisciplinay group of students had students majoring in everything from English to Visual Communication Design to Music to Painting. The junior AIR students were Maria Badillo, Jaime Kasper, and Kasi Turpin. The senior residents were Erin Bolles, Lisa Lorek, Donny Rambacher, Heather Sandy and Philip Titlebaum.
Maria,English major and Erin, a VCD major, combined the notion of technological progression and the playful air of comic strips Donny and Jaime created this piece out of paint and collage.

ayton Get to Know the "Real" Dayton This fall break, not everybody went home. Nearly 60 UD students stuck around in our own backyard participating in the third annual fall break-out known as REAL Dayton. Students spent their days helping out our Dayton neighbors and youth, learning about our city's
needs and assets, and inspiring others with the fact that everyone can make a difference in Dayton, and in the world. Being able to serve the community, eat fantastic local food, and reflect upon their experiences with local community members and activists showed many students the "real" side of Dayton.
"It's a weekend to really put the University's mission of learn, lead, serve into prod ice" Kelly Bohrer UD coordinator of community outreach

~ampus W ith a saying as simple, yet motivational, as "CHANGE YOUR LIFE. AND THE WORLD," Campus Ministry demonstrated another great year of hope, faith and love. Campus Ministry helped students explore and grow through a huge number
of events, retreats, service trips and weekly liturgies. Here students were able to share conversation, food, laughter, music, and their faith either at campus-held events, weekend aways and summer-long service trips.
The Center for Social Concern holds an event on KU field.
Retreats were offered throughout the year to offer a n escape from the hectic college life and source of peace for
UD students, no matter their schedule. Retreats such as the Busy Person's Retreat offered on-campus, five-day retreats where students met with a spiritual gUide for quiet reflection and prayer . The lighthouse Retreats explored life's challenges while unveiling sources of hope and light oncampus as well as off campus for weekends of peace while the Wilderness Retreat encouraged students to explore their faith under the stars, surrounded by nature, at

For spring final exams, many of the dining halls offered extended hours, most open for 24 hours the entire w eek. Kennedy Union held "Monday Night Madeness," free fountain drinks and coffee all w eek long after 8 pm, and kept open most of their meeting rooms for studious students. Roesch library offered free fresh fruit, chair massages, coffee and tea, taxi rides, and stayed open for 24 hours all w eek.

From Dayton... Counted down and patiently awaited, Daytona is the promising holiday many Flyers look forward to each year. This year marked the 36th year of Dayton to Daytona, since it was founded in 1977 by Student Government Association representative Jim Migliore. Since it's small beginnings of about 50 seniors renting a bus to the present day's all-inclusive event with 2,500 Flyers, the community and excitement surrounding the trip hasn't changed a bit. The Dayton to Daytona committee works hard to prepare all year, hosting events like "Halfway to Daytona," "Daytona Week" and fun contests offering free trips and other winnings, in order to provide students the best experience a Flyer could have after exams are finally over. Here's to another great Daytona!

In its 28th year, the International Taekwondo Club continued to impart the noble traditions of the Korean martial art: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indominable spirit. This year, we witnessed two students don their black belts after years of hard work. The club swept medals at the Purdue University's Annual Taekwondo Tournament and the Indiana University Invitational Tournament. The club also served the UD community holding several seminars where students were taught self-defense under Taekwondo's philosophy. The club would not have been possible without the support of our alumni, who return regularly to refine our skills and to set an example for the current members about the spirit of unity. Taekwondo club is a place to practice fitness of the body and of the mind, and a place where we form friendships so close that we can call one another family. -Karyen Chai Organizations

Alpha Kappa Psi The Delta Nu chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi celebrated its first full year on campus this January 2012. About ten students started working together on re-chartering the fraternity on campus during the spring 2010 semester. After a lot of hard work and dedication, the Delta Nu chapter is over 75 brothers strong. AKPsi is a growing organization on UD's campus. This past year, AKPsi held several fraternal and campus wide events. A few of these events were a professional event put on by the Fall 2011 pledge class, Alumni reunion networking events, the first annual Color Run, and first annual Pick Your Major panel. The fall 2011 pledge class was the first pledge class for the re-charted Delta Nu chapter. The class was tasked with putting on an event for the entire fraternity. The group brought in Andy Platt from Northwestern Mutual. He put on a wonderful presentation about careers in finance and the benefits of investing . Alpha Kappa Psi put on the first annual Color Run on March 28th. AKPsi teamed up with the Sustainability club's Race 2 Reduce initiative. Participants were given 7 cryptic clues that lead them to various areas around campus. At each location participant's white shirts were painted with each location's color. By the end, everyone had beautifully colored shirts. Everyone who completed the race was put in a drawing to win an array of awesome prizes. Once the race was over, everyone enjoyed food off the grill and music performed by fraternity brother Jordan De Leon's band. -Matt Deininger

This past year was Christmas on Campus' 48th annual event at UD, celebrating the theme of "Light the Way ." The Christmas on Campus committee, consisting of 2 co-coordinators and 21 co-chairs, spent over 400 hou rs throughout the fall semester brainstorming, planning, and organizing the event that they hoped would bring light and joy to the 1,153 local Dayton first and second graders that they invited to UD's campus. Highlights for the kids on campus included the bustling carnival in the Recplex , photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus in Science Center, three live reindeer in Humanities Plaza, the various characters walking around in costume , autographs from UD's men's basketball team , dance and musical performances in Boll Theater, and train rides around campus with Santa's elves. With the involvement of nearly three-quarters of all UD undergraduate students in the Christmas on Campus event, the 2011 Christmas on Campus committee enjoyed a very successful -Hannah Viertel bringing together of the UD and Dayton community.

In December, the team performed a routine at halftime of a men's basketball game. This was such an exciting performance for them because they had never performed at a regular season game before. T hey hope to continue performing at future games in years to come. T hey also had a new performance opportunity in March. The team opened up the NCAA First Four Event in the Oregon District with a dance performance . This was such a great event for not only the university, but also the Dayton community. They were so thrilled to be a part of the special day. Best Year Ever. -Alyssa Susko

Phi Lambda Iota is a sisterhood based on the values of family, prayer, and service. Founded in 2009, this organization is growing, as 11 new sisters were commissioned in October. The sisters have weekly meetings with rotating themes of faith-formation, social, and service. Two large service projects are held each semester as well as weekly visits to a senior living center. The girls were able to bond in faith and friendship at this year's spring retreat on campus. A highlight of the year was the first annual Phi Lambs and Chi-Ro formal held in March. Whether making Operation Christmas shoeboxes, participating in a photo scavenger hunt, gathering a team for Dance Marathon, or grabbing ice cream at the Galley, the Phi Lambda Iota sisters enjoy their time together. The sisters grew in their three core values this school year and made memories and friendships

CHI OMEGA
The Mu Lambda chapter of the Chi Omega Fraternity had another successful year of sisterhood, community service, academics, and social activities. The sisters of Chi Omega welcomed 4 new members in the fall and 48 new members in the spring. Chi Omega hosted their annual Corn hole Tournament, raising a recordbreaking amount of funds for their national philanthropy, The Make-A-Wish Foundation. The chapter is very close to raising enough money to grant a child's wish and should be able to achieve this goal by next year. Chi Omega participated in Habitat for Humanity this fall, when a group of sisters helped build homes for the needy in the surrounding Dayton areas. The chapter also hosted a booth for games and prizes for the children participating in Christmas on Campus. This spring, Chi Omega sponsored a canned food drive on campus for the House of Bread, a local food bank. Aside from community service, the Chi Omegas enjoyed many sisterhood events throughout the year. These events included a trip to the the Dayton Dragons' baseball game, a Tie-Dye party, and a catered Mexican di nner with salsa dancing instructions. Striving to promote a stronger sense of community with their fellow Greek sisters, Chi Omega hosted the first annual Thanksgiving Dinner with Alpha Phi. All sisters in attendance were required to bring canned food items, which were donated to a local food bank. -Alex Luby

$50. 8 Hours. 1 Goal. ETHOS
Im.proving Society April 14th-15th the ETHOS Club held the first annual ETHOS Wars competition. In this competition, five teams had $50 and 1 hour to shop for supplies at Mendelson's to build a prototype (with 8 hours of build time) that would improve society in some way. The prototype also had to be sustain able and incorporate appropriate technology. The winning design, selected by six judges of various backgrounds and careers , was a man-powered washing machine powered by the turn of a crank. It can be seen in one of the attached photographs. The second place team used compost and cow manure to create electricity. -Kevin Stevens

Kappa Pi Kappa Pi is an International Honorary Art Fraternity that joined the University of Dayton campus and has continually grown as an organization over the past year. As a new organization, the Eta Chi chapter is working to get more involved with the arts both on campus and in the surrounding community through service projects, volunteering, and participation in events with other organizations. They began painting a mural for Stuart's Landing (Stu's) during the 2011-2012 school year and plan to make their mark on campus using their creativity and artistic talent. Since this Honorary Fraternity is the first on campus to include only art majors, it is a great way to help art students get to know one another beyond the classroom and allows them to draw positive attention to the arts at UD. Kappa Pi has made strides over the past year by initiating many new members and establishing itself on campus. -Lauren Ebbert

e are U~ Barak Obama knew Dayton was a great place when he came here for the First Four. John Gruden verbalized it when he said this during the Xavier game on ESPN. "This is an outstanding place to go to college, all you young people out there look at Dayton" Few students however come to Dayton because of its sports reputation. Despite Dayton hosting the first NFL game or selling out a professional sports record 815 Dragons games, our city is seldom recognized nationally for its accomplishments and contributions. UD sports likewise is a hidden gem to many. Few schools our size have a women's soccer and basketball team who have each made 3 consecutive NCAA Tournaments and a volleyball team with 5 consecutive NCAA tournament. Like their teams, the student sections at UD rarely see much TV time, consequently it was only fitting for Red Scare and UD Arena to be named the 'Best Under-the-Radar' Atmosphere in College Basketball. Sports at UD doesn't stop with versity athletics, the university has made great strides to improve both club and intramural sports through the building of the Rec Plex in 2006 and the recent installation of turf on Stuart Field. Approximately 2,600 of us participate in intramurals, and why wouldn't we with events like battleship. Countless others checked out a rec bike and broke out of the UD bubble this past school year. Whether you're in the front row of the student section, biking to a Dragons game or sinking your significant others canoe in battleship, sports have impacted us all in our time at Dayton.

The mission of the Charity Concert Committee is 3-fold: To serve students by bringing a large-scale concert to campus which is affordable and exciting, to involve ourselves in the community of Dayton, volunteering for a specific organization and incorporating them into our concert, and to create opportunities for student musicians to perform, promoting the music scene at UD and encouraging on-campus bands. Our committee is completely student-run, which means our committee members plan and coordinate everything from promoting to contracting to fundraising. Our partners include the Student Development Office, SGA, CAB, and Cincinnati Bell. Our most popular fundraiser is the Spring Battle of the Bands at which student bands compete in The Pub for first place. This year's winners were Customer Service and the Gem City Horns, and Lupe Fiasco approved them to be his opener as a reward for winning the battle. Winners of this battle in past years have included Kelly Fine and the Jaywalkers.

Lupe Fiasco This year, Lupe Fiasco marked the Charity Concert Committee's 4th concert at UD. In the past, the CCC has put on concerts by Guster, Ben Folds, and Jack's Mannequin. This concert ventured into the realm of hip hop music and was a huge success. More student tickets than ever were sold, and Lupe put on a fantastic show! Songs like Show Goes On, Go Go Gadget Flow, and Kick Push were popular ones played. This year, the CCC worked with Boys and Girls Club of Dayton, volunteering at their clubhouse several times over the course of the semester and giving the kids special treatment on the day of the concert. The CCC hopes to continue growing each year, bringing more and more popular artists to campus and keeping the music scene alive!

[Outdoor Adventure
Club] The 2011-12 school year marked the beginning of a new adventure club at UD. With a steady member group, the OAC offers many thrilling and challenging events for students as a way to take a break from studying and college worries. This year the OAC kayaked down the Miami river, backpacked in Red River Gorge in KY, learned to scuba dive and many members became certified life time scuba divers with a trip to Florida, and took a 5 day intensive camping trip to the Smokey Mountains in TN over Easter break. The OAC says farewell to three graduating seniors: Ty Travaglini, Caroline Drennen, and Joey Martin. -Kirsten Gilbert

CM4K College Mentors for Kids has had a very successful year at the University of Dayton. This year we partnered with 2nd , 3rd , and 4th graders from The Dayton Boys Prep Academy, a public school in downtown Dayton . Every Wednesday from 3:25-5:25, we helped our "Little Buddies" understand higher education opportunities, as well as the importance of self-reliance , self-confidence, taking initiative at school , and making wise academic and social choices. Every week, the Little Buddies came to UD's campus to learn what college is like. Each weekly activity focused on one of three main areas of development including higher education and career, community service, and culture and diversity. The Little Buddies listened to many different guest speakers , including a police officer, physics teacher, psychologist, art teacher, businessman , and emergency medical technician . This was College Mentors for Kids first year on campus , and we were able to establish great activities and relationships. After only three activities, the impact we had on the children was overwhelmingly evident. We could not believe how quickly we were able to share the importance and value of college with these kids. The Little Buddies wrote in their journals after the third activity: "When I am eighteen, I want to go to UD. I am going to work very hard so I can go to UD when I am older," followed by "I wish I could come here one day. Everybody here is lucky. I will work so hard so I can come here." Last year, CM4K did not exist on UD's campus, but now we are receiving awards and very visible on campus, especially on Wednesdays at 3:25.

Studio Theatre THIS YEAR IN STUDIO This has been an incredible year of change and growth in Studio Theatre. We've been working on giving our theatre, the Black Box, a facelift with a new paint job and new ceiling fans. SGA also helped us to get a fantastic new sound system which has been and will be a great asset. This year has also been full of excellent productions with multiple full length shows and senior projects, several one acts, and our favorite stock shows. We put on a musical, wrote hilarious sketches, held fun events, built amazing sets, put on a student-written show, and hosted a night of slam poetry with CAB. Studio Theatre has grown and developed so much and it has truly been an awesome year to remember! -Emily Mills

The UD Running Club's mission is to promote a healthy lifestyle through training and racing opportunities. We offer three runs per week and welcome all levels of runners! In 2011, the UD Running Club became an official sport club and a member of the National Intercollegiate Running Club Association. We participated in a NIRCA race in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This allowed the team an opportunity to race other collegiate running clubs within the Midwest. We plan to attend at least one NIRCA event in the fall again this upcoming year. In addition, we incorporated cross training throughout the year. We have participated in aqua jogging, spinning , and core workouts. These have helped to expand the knowledge of not only running, but incorporating other types of fitness into a balanced lifestyle. We also include events outside of running to help build friendships with other runners on the team. This includes educational and social events, such as Nutrition Talks, Pasta Dinners, and ArtStreet TakeOvers. The UD Running Club also participates in many of the races on and off campus. This past March , we attended the Shamrock Shuffle 5k110k in West Chester, Oh io where the team ran extremely well in a St. Patrick's themed race. We utilized Sugarcreek MetroPark this past semester as well. It is a scenic park that is near UD's campus. We plan to run at this park at least once a month next year. -Kristen Schulz Organizations

FE LOVE we all feel it What a Year! The 2011-2012 fiscal year was the 11 th year the Flyer Enterprises' corporate umbrella has been utilized, however that might have been the only thing that seemed "normaL" Over the 5 years I have been a part of Flyer Enterprises, I have seen it grow immensely in both a business sense, as well as in the quality of experience that our students receive from our program. In comparison to the other years I have been involved in the program; this year reinforced Flyer Enterprises' business foundation, as well as significantly strengthened our relationships with our business partners, university administrators, and university alumni, which will allow Flyer Enterprises to grow even more going forward. The year started with a reemphasis on the executive positions. Each executive was reminded that they have full control over their divisions and that they should be seen as their own chief executive officer. To no surprise, they and they're management teams responded posting record sales and profits at many of the divisions, which also lead to record profits for Flyer Enterprises at year end. With each president taking on more responsibility within their divisions, there was time to work on further developing our alumni association, specifically formalizing the 10th annual Flyer Enterprises' Alumni Association Weekend held on cam pus. This year's weekend set a record with over 30 alumni in attendance and over 60 student employees participating in the weekend. Programming for the weekend included: a state of the firm presentation, alumni panel discussions, and professional networking event that eventually lead to several students receiving interviews for internships and jobs with the help of FE alumni; a trend we hope to continue going forward. In closing, I would like to thank the students, faculty, staff, university administrators, and alumni that continue to support Flyer Enterprises. This program has come a long way since its beginning and has been one of the most enjoyable organizations I have had the pleasure to be a part of while on campus. I would also like to extend a special thank you to our student employees, Board of Directors and our advisors, Ray Lane and Janet Leonard. With your guidance and hard work, I am confident that the accomplishments Flyer Enterprises has endured the past several years will continue for the foreseeable future. FE Love Forever, Jeffrey R. Firestone, 2012 Chief Executive Officer

This past fall we held our annual FREEFAHL fundraiser at the Art Street Amphitheater. FREEFAHL stands for Forever Reminding and Educating Every Female About Healthy Living and raises thousands of dollars each year for our philanthropy, the Susan G.

We also took part in Greek Week, actively participating in the various events of the week. We began the spring semester with welcoming our newest, and largest, pledge class of 52 girls in the end of January. This spring we hosted a bowling and pancake breakfast fundraiser over our Dad's weekend, including our parents in our fundraising fun. Along with our fundraising efforts, the sisters of ZTA participated in many different events such as intermural sports, CEC Children's Carnival, and sisterhood retreats.

Building Bridges International Club
During the 2011-2012 school year, the University of Dayton International Club (UDIC) held several major events to provide opportunities for interaction among and between international students and the UD community. Some of these events consisted of pizza socials, bowling socials, community service events and general meetings. In the fall semester, a soccer event was organized with Miami University and Wright State University at Miami University. Students were able to participate in a tournament with other international students from both universities. After the games, everyone gathered for a pizza party and for a chance to interact more with one another. The biggest yearly event for the UDIC is the International Festival that was held on March 24th of 2012. This event featured a fashion show, performances , delicious ethnic food and much more.

The goal of Commuters On Campus is to be a bridge between residential and commuter students on campus. We also strive to help commuters stay aware of all of the wonderful resources that the University of Dayton offers. The club has been in existence for four years and was founded by commuter students Kristen Hammaker and Katherine Gonzalez, who were leaders of the club during their entire college experiences. Our club advisor is Brandy Clifford, Assistant Director of Student Life and Kennedy Union, and our new President will be Rachel Stock during the upcoming 2012-13 school year. The 2011-12 school year was exciting for Commuters On Campus!! We increased our club's membership to 200 people-a new record for us. Commuters On Campus also organized a Commuter Resource Fair with Student Life in Kennedy Union where over fifteen on-campus clubs and departments and more than seventy students attended! Of course, there were raffles and free food at the event, as at most of our club's activities. Other programs included several Lunch and Listen sessions in the KU Commuter Lounge where speakers like Kurt Hoffman, UD's Sustainability Manager, came to inform commuters (while they ate free lunches) about the new Rec Bikes program and other developments, as well as install recycling bins in the lounge. We also had a Logo and Slogan Design Contest and our annual Pasta Lunch complete with free UD accessories and a delicious sit-down lunch. An important aspect of our club is also advocacy for commuter students. In the past, club officers have worked with SGA to pass resolutions concerning commuter students. This year, it came time to rally for continued commuter representation in the SGA constitution. Thanks to the diligence of Commuters On Campus friends and members, we were able to achieve our goal and ensure commuter inclusion in student government. -Katherine Gonzalez

Service is one of the foundational principles of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Incorporated. During this academic year this principle was demonstrated in a number of different ways. Zetas could be found volunteering at St. Vincent DePaul, the Boy's and Girl's Club and through various individual service endeavors such as working with Daybreak Shelter and Mary Scott Nursing home. Scholarship is also a guiding principle of our sorority. During Finerwomanhood Week - the last full week in February - Iota Epsilon hosted a Black History Jeopardy activity that combined learning and fun. Iota Epsilon also hosted study tables in the Office of Multicultural Affairs in order to offer a place of study for other students on campus. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority is unique among sororities due - in part - to the organization's principle of Finerwomanhood. Iota Epsilon invited women of the University of Dayton's campus to discuss what it means to be a Lady in these postmodern times. Zeta Phi Beta also hosted a Pamper Party where UD women learned about home beauty recipes and much, much more! The final principle of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. is Sisterly Love.

PhiMu Alpha
The Phi Omega Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia has been through a recovery year, being on re-org status. The departure of previous graduating seniors led to some hazy patches within the administration of our chapter. With this comes a perfect opportunity for Brothers to excel in leadership and membership skills. Everyone has "stepped up to the plate" and with the growing number of members in the chapter, we are in a better place than ever before. Brandon Hoying, one of our Alumni, recently stated, "current members are actually DOING stuff that Phi Omega brothers from years past couldn't quite embrace - such as two formals in ONE year, a Mills Music Mission in April, among many other things that I'm not fully aware of as a "now-passive" member of Sinfonia." This fraternity is creating a larger, greater image of what Ossian E. Mills envisioned in all the chapters of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia on UD's campus. We, as a chapter, have performed over 50 singing valentines throughout the dorm rooms and houses and performed for an Alumni's school's pep band, to name a few local efforts on campus and in the community. A number of musical events are soon to come. I am proud to call myself a Brother of this excellent Fraternity. This brotherhood has meant a lot to me, only being in Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia two semesters so far. This fraternity bond will only continue to grow, even beyond the college years. -Robert Stachler Organizations

Panhellenic Council
The Pan hellenic Council is the governing body for the values-based sororities at the University of Dayton. Each sorority is represented on the Council by two delegates. A board of officers, elected by the delegates every fall, is responsible for performing all the necessary duties to maintain and coordinate the constitutional responsibilities that the Panhellenic Council has to individual chapters and the University as a whole. The council meets every Thursday on Art Street to work together to develop strong chapters and create positive Panhellenic spirit. This year, the council provided a fun and energetic sorority recruitment for all potential new members, assisted programs for Sexual Assault Awareness month, hosted a faculty appreciation banquette and supported Alpha Phi Omega's Taste of Hope Philanthropy as well as countless other philanthropies within Greek life. In the Spring, the council celebrated achievements with a night on the town, including dinner and a private shopping party at the Greene! In the Fall, the council is looking forward to attending a Dayton Dragon's baseball game with the Inter fraternal Council as well as providing a successful Greek week to embrace Greek unity and spirit on campus. Pan hellenic council was also chosen to receive the Community Building leadership award from the University of Dayton, and was nominated for the Miriam award as well. -Riley Quinn Organizations

Sustainability Club It has been a very exciting year for the University of Dayton Sustainability Club. Off campus, we have worked with "Feed Dayton", an organization that grows local foods in areas of Dayton that do not have access to fresh produce. The UD Sustainability club helped build urban gardens in a variety of areas in the Dayton community. Also, members of the Sustainability Club have enjoyed experiencing the beauty of the Miami Valley with "Nature Hikes" to Caesar Creek and Possum Creek. On Earth Day, club members celebrated by joining other environmental organizations in a Mad River Clean Up project. In this project, we simply picked up trash and recyclables to help restore and protect the Mad River ecosystem. On campus, the Sustainability Club has organized the "Race 2 Reduce" energy saving competition. We challenged the dorms to reduce their energy consumption, and gave students advice on easy ways save energy. Furthermore, we participated in the exciting and fun Greensweep event. During Greensweep, we planted native-plant gardens, recycled cans, and picked up other trash to reverse the damage done after a UD weekend. The club also held a presentation series that was open to the public. The presentation topics include Sustainability and Business and the Desertec Electricity Grid Proposal. Moreover, the club has also sponsored casual and fun potluck dinners with movies or documentaries that are relevant to the club's interests. Also, the Sustainability Club has entered University of Dayton in a worldwide competition for recording "green" initiatives and actions called MobilizeU. We are proud to say that UD was ranked 10th on the list of 297 participating universities! Lastly, members have also supported other environmental initiatives and presentations on campus including the River Steward's Kyle Thierrman presentation , the Appalachia week, and Environmental Sustainability Week. -Kevin Gries

UKURI is a student organization at the University of Dayton that is geared toward promoting the arts within our campus community and surrounding area. We were established to bring about many types of expression to students and faculty that include poetry, spoken word, music, dance, art and much more. We develop and sponsor events that are able to give students a chance to express themselves while at the same time giving the audience a chance to experience some of the talent that UD holds. Each semester, our organization has hosted events such as "Express Yourself" and other open-mic collaborations. Annually, we host an event called, "Poetry After Dark," in which we feature well-known spoken word artists , as well as talent from UD and the Dayton community. For the past 4 years Ukuri has been able to bring well-known artists to campus to share their talents with students, faculty and staff - we have been honored to host artists such as Def Poets Sunni Patterson, Jon Goode, and Dana Gilmore. We have had a successful experience in this partnership and have brought some amazing talent to share with the UD community as well as the Dayton community. This year we were able continue with that success and bring another well known poet, Scorpio Blues, to the University of Dayton on April 19, 2012. With this program we are able to expose individuals to the art of spoken word from the celebrity poets as well as the lyrical talents of their peers. Attendees are able to experience different styles of poetry, and how important the skill of poetry is to have in your life. To many this may be a new art form, to others it is introducing them to individuals who share their same interests. There are not many events on campus for such an experience and UKURI is a leading organization in being able to have students involved in an unforgettable experience. We feel that people look forward to this event and we are excited to bring another great experience to students, faculty, staff and members of the community. -Soleil Verse

Lead by copresidents Quinn Corrigan ('14) and Megan Dunn ('14), the 2011-2012 executive board included treasurer Kristen Mackay ('14), show coordinator Rachel Egbert ('13), and fundraising chair Andee O'Sell ('13). The members of the club danced their way around campus, appearing at many events throughout the year. Some of these included performing at Dance Marathon 2011 and the 2012 Relay for Life where the Irish dancers gladly pumped up the energy for the participants of these great causes. The members of the club also hosted a charity recital at Kennedy Union to benefit the University of Dayton's Distance 4 Dreams organization. A local Irish dance school performed alongside the UD Irish dancers. It was at this performance that the club showcased their original choreography to the popular Rihanna song "We Found Love". Finally, what would UD's favorite holiday, St. Patrick's Day, be without Irish dancing? The Irish dancers started the day off early with a 7am performance at Timothy's Bar and Grill for a lively sea of green. There was some time to rest before their big show on ArtStreet hosted by Campus Activities Board followed by a halftime performance on Stuart Field during the UD Men's Lacrosse game. This year has provided many amazing opportunities for the Cosa Meara Company of Irish Dance. We are thankful to share our talents with the UD community and look forward to making even more appearances next year! -Kristen Mackay

I Triple-E
On April 17th the University of Dayton IEEE Section hosted a mini Student Professional Awareness Conference (S-PAC). During this event, Mr. Jim Watson deliver an insightful presentation entitled "Headed for the Future." The talk discussed how to maximize one's potential for success in the world as an engineer, especially doing so in considering the increasing competition as a result of a rise in the world's population and the demand for engineering skills. The talk was also spun around the centennial celebration of the University of Dayton's School of Engineering. 17 IEEE members attended. Food and drink was provided . Jim was enthusiastic and his talk was insightful. He gave handouts summarizing his talk and some "S-PAC" accessories (pens and sticky notes). The planning and organization of this event was lead by the IEEE University of Dayton section incumbent president, Robert Blatner. IEEE took part in the annual Spike for Charity sand volleyball tournament. Each team represents a local charity. IEEE chose to represent Big Brother Big Sister to begin facilitating a technical mentoring relationship between IEEE UD and this organization. IEEE also sponsored DJs for the event, broadcasting our name and message of who we are to the other participants and entire Dayton community. This was done to increase membership and inform others who we are as an organization. The DJs were an enormous success and very well received by all involved. The IEEE team was victorious in capturing first place in the tournament of 40 teams and will receive 75% of the money collected to be donated to the Big Brother Big Sister organization. We are trying to arrange for the donation to be made in the form of electronics or as a scholarship fund for electronic development in the organization. Everything considered , IEEE's involvement in this event is very note worthy and sets a huge precedent for years to come! The UD IEEE took a tour of the Dayton Dragons stadium. The tour showed the student members the workings of the live broadcast room , complete with the progression of technology from cued tapes to digital video. They also saw the stadium media room which handles all the live audio, video , and interactive events on the field. The students were impressed with the amount of planned and on-the-fly work that went into making the ball game a success. Everyone found it interesting that tape recorded video is still used and distributed to the local media stations. The students went through the clubhouse and onto the field getting a first hand look of how it feels to be in the big leagues. The students enjoyed the game from the third baseline and saw a home team win of 3-2 over the Cedar Rapid Kernels. It was highly recommended that this event be added to the fall agenda for next year! -Howard Poston

A: Watching Nate Link climb the skinny tree out front of set up Christmas lights for the decorating contest. Q: Does your room have any unique traditions?
A: We have a very unique tradition of constantly having to inform housing/facilities that they've left our basement door unlocked. There was a disciplinary hearing early in the year which was caused by maintenance leaving our basement open. It's become a joke in our house. We checked our basement door almost every day, taking bets on whether it was open again or not. More often than not, it was open.
Q: Are there any unusual room rules?
A: If three roommates want to play foosball, you play foosball. Homework isn't important. Q: How did you win the house decorating contest?
A: Nate Link and Matt Kilchenman spearheaded the effort. Climbing trees and stringing up lights and extension cords took a lot of man hours. Matt Karpoff donated the nativity scene that has since seen Baby Jesus stolen. Josh Nieman and I spent the time laughing and enjoying the scene of the three of them outside holding a rope to the tree to keep it from falling over as Nate climbed the tree to secure the lights. We were excited and humbled to have won the house decorating contest.
Q: Is there anything else you would like to say?
A: There are things that you can only learn about someone by liVing with them. Going into this year, I was nervous about liVing with a few of the guys, but since liVing with them, I couldn't have asked for better roommates. It's been a great time at 916 Alberta ..

nterview with Katie Latour Junior 2013 Q: What is it like living at ArtStreet? A: It's different. You have to have ArtStreet class. It's really cool though because you have visiting artists and that really interests me. We also have to do projects. One of the things we are doing is an ArtStreet art walk. We're making murals. Being at ArtStreet is really engaging and UD community is a requirement.
Q: Is this the best place you have lived so far? A: Yes
Q: What fun things does ArtStreet do? A: Well, the cafe is there and then there's Thursday Night Live and the radio show. It makes it feel great, like it's a gathering place.
Q Do you and your roommates have any special/ unique house rules?
A: We went in as an eight person but we have two connecting lots. There's a qUiet, chill side and then there's the hanging, loud side.
Q Do you and your roommates have any house nicknames?
A: Sometimes we will call Kara the stars and stripes and we call Francis, Frank.

The Ladies of 112 Chambers Residence Life
Q: Where did you live last year? A: I got the shaft in the housing lottery and ended up in the only sophomore wing of girls in Marycrest. Though after living there, it seems that everyone else on campus got the shaft because living 3 floors up from the Crest dining hall is like being down the street from N arnia. Magical. Q:Do you like Chambers? A: Other than the frequent visits from people digging through our trash in the middle of the night and creepy townie neighbors, it is quite pleasant. Q: Does your house have any unique traditions? A: Before we go out, we always have to dance hardcore for at least 30 minutes. Q: A re there any unusual house rules? A:Every time I spill something, everyone except me has to finish their drink, no matter what the drink is.

Q: What the most amazing or strangest thing that has happened in your house? A: We think we have a ghost in our house. We call him Kevin, and while he is in no way comparable to Poltergeist or the twins from The Shining, he can get a little annoying because he always steals things (or at least we blame all lost items on him). Sometimes we hear him walking upstairs or jiggling the doorknob of our back door. A few times he has shook mine or Colleen's bed, but for the most part, he is pretty chill.

You were here when ...
... a dynamic duo lived on Irving Not many people have the kind of chemistry where they can stand living together, but that's not the case when it comes to best friends Parker Ritchie and Connor McNamee. This dynamic duo have been friends for a whi le and decided that junior year they would live together. Both Parker and Connor like living on Irving, even though they wish it was a little closer to campus. "You see, I was a Founders kid and when I lived in Founders I could wake up five minutes before class, but if I did that here I would be late" says Connor McNamee. When asked what was their favorite memory of living on Irving so far, they both had wildly different answers. Parker said that the best memory was decorating the house, "it made it feel like home." Connor's favorite memory had to deal with a friend solving a funny issue. "You see, for the longest time, we had no idea how to turn on the lights in the basement. It was really creepy down there and so you had to -do your laundry during the day. I was really excited when a friend of mine came over and figured out how to turn on the lights." At the end of the day, these two friends enjoy living together on Irving because it's different. according to Parker Ritchie, "it's like living on a river, one side is UD and the other is Oakwood."

Q: What is you best memory living here so far? A: We made Christmas cookies and ruined the kitchen! But it was fun! Q: Do you prefer living in the Ghetto compared to the Darkside?

We have all fallen down them once or twice. Once, I even fell down the steps with scissors! Q: What do you like most about living in your house? A: I love our bedroom sizes!

From Founders to Lawnview; Experiencing UD Through the Years with Joe Radisek
Living at the University of Dayton has been my first true experience away from my family and home life back in Cleveland. It started off on an interesting note, my freshman year at Founders Hall, when the nights were so hot that the University advised us to sleep at the air-conditioned RecPlex. Founders was an amazing foundation for me though: a very hands-on RA helped take full advantage of the fact the hallways are wider than the rooms. Our floor was encouraged to work on homework in the hallway, which opened up all sorts of conversations and entertaining circumstances to occur. My RA's knowledge of the UD and Dayton scene defined what I did in my spare time; often watching the movies on ArtStreet, visiting the Oregon District, and taking the WalMart Shuttle for more than just WalMart. Three good friends of mine decided we should room together in VWK and so our sophomore year was spent in wonderful room 276. Funny how a second floor room could have a ground floor view, but that is what you get with VWK. A shower that can comfortably fit four but a mini-fridge that can barely fit leftovers, it was unfortunate that they removed the Buffet-style cafeteria for an a la carte option (since replaced by the new restaurants). VWK feels like the hotel on campus. I spent my third and fourth years over in the ILLC at the 345 Stewart St apartments. Living with international students has its own nuances, but a full kitchen made up for it. Joking aside, it was a fantastic experience that I wish more could have while at UD. To build a relationship that goes beyond language, upbringing, and other cultural factors sort of defines the essence of what is wanted in a relationship. For two summers, I remained in the Dayton-area for classes and co-op work. I spent these summers over at the landlord-owned Irving Commons. I have experienced both the one floor and the townhouse, and in both cases one quickly falls in love with the washer / dryer and dishwasher included in the room. The pains of paying monthly rent and utilities, purchasing a router for wireless internet, and dealing with outside-of-UD-jurisdiction issues all quickly came and went. This year, my fifth and final, I found my remaining fifth-year friends and picked 108 Lawnview Ave near the top of the lottery. We did some research before the lottery, even interviewing the people that were living at our prospective houses. An ideal people-watching spot during the weekends, it remains near the center of campus activity without having to be the actual center of attention. One gigantic bathroom was the University's alternative to two smaller bathrooms and access to the attic; the washer / dryer replaced the entrance to our basement. The guys I lived with ran the gamut of "clean college men's house," from the person who only used his own supplies and the person who owned only the essentials to the person who cleans up after everyone and the person who constantly buys more organizers to organize his stuff. Most of us were on the same page in terms of what we wanted out of the house and how to treat everyone at the house. Parties, no matter how rambunctious or crowded, always were cleaned up by the next morning. Ironically, it was when the roommates had our own personal party that the house was at its worst. My room always contains the fliers and content of the past two weeks in complete disarray, yet I will make sure every other part of the house is spotless. No matter who I lived with and what sort of situations came my way, it worked out. Whether I was spending the night at my girlfriend's apartment, or had to sleep on my cousin's floor over break, or helped a friend with their drama, things just settled and progressed. That is the sort of life message I learned from college; no matter how plans change, how things turn out, it can be weathered out and help will always be available (but not always as expected).
Living at Lawnview Apartments [Interview with Audrey DelGiudice]
For her third year at the University of Dayton , Audrey DelGuidice ended up living at Lawnview Apartments with the same roommates she has had since freshman year when she lived in Stuart. According to Audrey, the best thing about living in Lawnview is that while it's not a house, it still feels like they live in the heart of the ghetto. When asked about traditions or unique rules established with her roommates , Audrey replied that they watch movies , play board games and played in the mud at Stuart Field . A unique rule they have is "whenever someone burps, they have to say burp right afterwards when in the room , If they don't they have to spend five minutes in the hallway."

nee again, the Dayton Flyers had another great year in Athletics. The energy levels were high, students were even more excited and we received more media coverage than in previous years! One of the most exciting events was when President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister, David Cameron, decided to share a few hot dogs with students in the stands of a Men's Basketball game! That surely doesn't happen every season. Thanks to all the students who worked hard all year long, the coaches, trainers, staff and fans. We couldn't have had such a great year without you all!

Run, Flyers, Run!
The beginning of the race is the hardest part. One really has to to push through the crowd of runners to have a good start. That way the runner is working to make &keep first, rather than working to pass people the whole time. Sometimes these races have up to 500 runners at one time. That's a lot of competition.

Joe Janasek, number 20, is a sophomore from Solon. Last season, Janasek was redshirted; something used to lengthen one's eligibility. He was ready to be back on the field during games!
Running back Senior Taylor Harris, number 5, was a huge part of the Flyers triumph this season. Harris was coined as the "touchdown machjne" for the Flyers.
Matt Bennett, number 33, is a sophomore from Akron, OH. He spent his first year as a redshirt. So although this was his first season at lay, he helped the team with a winning season.

What will you tc:ke with you from your experience at LD? I would not change a single thing from my time at UD. I am able to take with me amazing friendships. I loved being able to walk around campus and say 'hi" to friends as you walk to class or Kennedy Union. The people I met over the past 4 years have changed my life forever.
You seem to have a very positive attitude, even l.I1der times of stress. t-bw do you manage that? My four years at UD is filled with late nights both in Roesch and Milonos. Each week comes w ith a different presentation or test followed by a weekend of time spent with friends, and avoiding homework. Having a balance of tim spent working and enjoying time with your roommates and friends kept me going through the week.
Tell me about your favorite residential setting. As seen in many of my pictures, Senior year I lived at 116 Lawnview; the best house in the "ghetto." It was a great location, right in the middle of everything. My favorite memory is simply the time spent on our amazing porch. Our porch was perfect for weekend nights to enjoying the weather studying outside.
