QK. y^^.e ^« ^r./ o' ^ Orientation 9 In a year of change, the School of Arts and Sciences remained the most highly populated school at the university. With majors ranging from chemistry to accounting and from philosophy to French, students were engaged actively in all areas of the academic spectrum. Inside the school, requirements in humanities, natural and social sciences, religion, language, and philosophy ensured students a well-rounded education. The ever so popular tracking sheets for A&S majors were made available online through Cardinal Students. Outside of classes, students participated in foreign langauge, business, religion, and science clubs as ways of sharing their interests with other students. Students of various majors studied abroad in Belgium, Rome, Oxford, Ireland, and even Australia i with the hopes of gaining international experience as a complement to their valued time here at CUA. When it came time for commencement, graduates were prepared to take on any challenge the world had waiting for them.

The hrst challenge was lime manageiiienl Much like the roots of a second order differential CQuation. time nunagcnicnt had a real and an imaginan' side. The iniaginar\' side entailed a lack of procrastination. The real side. howe\ei. meant breaking into Pangborn late at night because vou either lost your halllc against procrastination that day or because you had so much work. For those who dashed Ironi one thing to the ne.\t and found it later than we thought, we were left with no other choice than the second challenge Breaking in. Some students could be chargetl with breaking and entering w ith an intent to compute. Others resorted to calling Public Safety to retrieve a "lost" book bag. The truth was. alter II p.m. the building should not be classified as locked, but more appropriately as "restricted access.' Access was restricted to those cra/y enough to duel tape door bolls, place doormats in obscure doors, call Irom the payphone outside to the person you bribed to stay inside, and other methods lell up to your imagination. We're engineers, we're supposed to be creative! These challenges led us to be recognizable as engineering students to others on campus. Although we did not wear pocket protectors. there were a few subtle signs that branded us. such as knowing the exact car of _your professor, where they ate. and the general time they checked their email. 'Vou could also spot us by our addiction to Instant Messanger Although most students used IM lor chatting, we regarded it as a necessary tool.

Where else would you find freshmen and sophmores hanging out in the senior lab to bombard them with questions. Even stranger was the fact that they were welcomed by the busy seniors. The only real way to know what year in school they were was on close inspection of the circles under their eyes. There the truth lies because those circles grew e.xponentially each semester. In the end. most engineering students would not trade it for anything else. Why' As taken from a fellow engineers IM profile. "You go for it. All the stops are out.

Since then the school has grown and expanded. There were many activities and programs that took place this past year including the Commitment to Nursing Capping Ceremony, the Health Fair, the Career Fair sponsored liv the CUA chapter of the Student Nurses Association (SNA), the Pinning Cercmoiiv. and Graduation. In October the juniors held its Coriiiiiitiiient to Nursing Capping Ceremony. The event, held in the Cr\'pt Church of the Basilica of the National Shrine, was attended by many friends and family. Through the year students became involved in the School. In March, they held a community- wide health fair. Some of the students manned information tables on topics ranging frorn stress to blood pressure to massage therapy. The CUA SNA was a great way for freshmen to get their feet wet and become familiar with the world of nursing. It also encouraged the juniors and seniors to look to the future. The SNA also hosted the much anticipated annual career lair. It provided the perfect opportunity for students to find summer, part-tirrie, or permanent jobs. This^/ear vendors came Irom as far as Colorado.The final two events were the Pinning Ceremony and Graduation. The Pinning Ceremony, held in early May, signified the dedication and commitment to the nursing career and the time spent at the University. The_year concluded with the graduation of the class of 2002 from the School of Nursing.

Nol since rAS7, i\hcn current Dean Dr. .Antanas Suziedelis was appointed, had the School ol .Arts and Sciences replaced such a high ranking—and long-standing—member ol the administration. Dean Suziedelis' retirement at the end of this academic year marked over 5(1 years spent at Catholic University. He came lo CLI.A as a graduate sludeiil m 1953 and completed his Ph.D in Clinical Psychology in 1957. Alter .seiving ,i,^ two years as a public health officer in a federal relormatoiY. Dr. Suziedelis ^fc^ was invited to join the faculty at Catholic. During his time at CUA S^ Dean Suziedelis has also ser\'ed as Chair of the Department ol Psychology for three terms and has taught a number ol courses in statistics, psychology, and social science methodology. Teaching these classes, says Dean Suziedelis, is what he enjoyed niost at CUA: "I like to gather information, to analyze it. and to look for what lurks fu'hind the numbers." He will also miss his faculty colleagues and the people he has worked with in the dean's office. "The office," says Suziedelis, "is like a railway station—all sons of people pass through it. all sorts of temperaments, personalities, preoccupations, expectations. I am a people watcher, which is probably why I chose psychology lo begin with. It has been a privilege to be in the middle of things, to have some say in the life of the University, and to be trusted."

To our fellow students, it elicited the inevitable, "Oh, wow!" For the CUA philosophy major, however, whether pursuing graduate or law school or just an insatiable "desire to know," the four years of study involved an experience afforded hy no other department. Philosophy invited us to enter into our studies, struggle with them and be changed by them. The program asked us to examine ourselves. As one esteemed professor was heard saying, "Oh, 3/ou're studying for your comprehensive exams? Well, comps peer intoj/our soul." Comps, classes, lectures, and a distinct comraderie among Philosophy majors added up to four_years of the most difficult and rewardingyears of study a student could hope for. story by Erika Cunis 18 School of Philosophy Left: Erika Cunis looks over her notes as she prepares for a final exam.

It was an honorarv' service organization comprised of seniors chosen by the advisor, Frank Persico. As an integral part of the President's staff, the Society participated in official University functions and special events throughout the 2001-2002 academic year. The 14 members for the inaugural year were chosen to represent all aspects of student life. As "charter members," the President's Society established the mission, goals, and objectives of the Society. Independent from USG and the academic administration, the members focused their time and efforts as student ambassadors, advancing the mission and reputation of the Catholic Universit}'. The Society had its official debut when they hosted awardees at the Alumni Awards Banquet at Washington's Grand Hyatt Hotel during Homecoming 2001. Society members escorted the 10 and 20-year CUA service award recipients at the annual University Service Awards Banc^uci in November. The members also attended the Thirteenth Annual American Cardinals Dinner, held in Philadelphia as host of the American C'ardinals. The new organization had a successful year and hopes to continue for years to come. -Morv b\' n.inii.in Rlth.ird (L. to R.): Melissa Aujero, Elizabeth Heichlc, and Ronald Czyz greet guests and direct them to their respective tables at the John Paul 11 Center.

If'we only had a penny for every time we have been asked this, we could probably pay off our college loans. From the month of August when senior year began until May, plans have been formulated, plans have changed, our lives have been in an uproar. Applications, wait lists, job market shifts, September 11*, and the color of the sky has changed this answer hourly for most seniors. Through the stress and tears and this seemingly endless list of tasks, senior year proved to be the most trying time, yet with good friends and the excitement of the unknown, the most memorable of four years. Along the way, we may have wished these final days would hurry and come, but now that the future is upon us, walking away is not as easy as we thought. Behind us we are leaving so many lessons, friends, valued professors, sagas, and four years of growth . . . but we wiU take aU the memories with us. -Jessica DePrizio and Laura Walz Seniors DuFour Kramer Books • • • Irish Times . . .

When the last morning dawns, vou wish }'ou could just sit down for one, glorious second and think lovely thoughts. But rain wiU fall, and even if vou cannot see it, vou know the wind has changed and it is time to leave the familiar behind. That is the time when the imagined becomes a real place, and the movie begins to play past the credits list and into the film. But as ^'ou come to know the world and the world comes to know you, remember this: "The world is supported by four things: the learning of the wise, the justice of the great, the prayers of the righteous, and the valor of the brave." -Dutie, Frank Herbert. It may be hard, for that is what life and victory are all about: the hardness ot things. Remembering will be a comfort and a guide. When you feel nothing but tiredness and see that there are rocks ahead and no help in sight, think ofyour first days at CUA. When you have no hope left and your strength fails vou, think of how you overcame so many obstacles thrown in your path during your four \'ears at CUA. When A'OU can't even cry and you feel like you want to die, remember those simple moments that mean everything, and you wiU remember all those old laughs and good times. AH the voices will return to you and someone will open the soul. But you have to listen and listen, amidst the noise and the chaos, so you can hear those voices that want to let you soar up again. "Those who hear not the music think the dancer mad." So, listen and just find that moment in time to sit and remember, and the world will step aside and stand still for but a momciit. But that moment is all you need to get up and give it your best shot. - Joyce Datiles (Deanna L. Eedciani 'Psychofogy Horristown, PA Lisette Temandez Spanish Long (Beach, CA Stephen J.

It was a time where everything was new - coUege life, friends, living on your own. . . The memories include making midnight trips over to Spellman (that almost always ended by being written up by that 3"^ floor RA) and skipping Physics I in order to get your daily dose of Madden Football on Playstation. Most of aU I enjoyed hanging with my boys, either watching TV, arguing over sports, celebrating each others' birthdays, or spending three hours at dinner in South talking about nothing (it seemed so important at the time). I wouldn't give these memories up for the world; sometimes I wish I could do it over again. For all the times I complained about school, there was nothing like being there! At first CUA was just a school I attended. It has become more than that. CUA is a part of me, a part of my life that I wiU never forget and never let go. As the clock winds down and graduation comes closer, it feels like I must leave CUA behind and move on, but I just can't and I won't! CUA has helped make me the person I am; it is in my blood - CUA FOR LIFE. -Wi//E//is Seniors 81 Music School practice rooms . . .work . . . Folyesther's . . . the ATM . .

I remember being scared when I came here - we came in as shy little freshman joined by a caravan of boxes (carried by our parents). I'm scared now that I'm leaving and the caravan of boxes has only increased. There are a few more boxes of memories - a picture of this, a bottle of that (still carried by our parents) - but it's mostly the same. We left the safe world we called home and came to the strange new world that was coUege - Rinny thing is, after four years that strange new world became home and the one we're going back to seems strange. Yeah, it's a crazy world we're going back to ... out there I understand that you can actually get fired for not doing your work, even not showing up for work isn't an option! Oh, and get this.. .the work day starts at 9:00 a.m.... not 9:10\ What was He thinking and why didn't He consult with CUA when creating the world? After all, our little safe haven hasn't had problems with terrorists, starvation (unless by choice ... North is still North), or war (well, there were a few questionable USG elections). Yes, this is what it's like on the other side of four years: we've made friends, we've cried, we've had a few drinks, and maybe we even laughed too loud sometimes (oh, we learned about Aristotle and stuff, too). But things aren't that different... someday, when all of our biUs are paid and our children's children are at college, maybe we'U look back on these four years and even all-nighters won't seem so bad ... maybe we'U wish that we could even take a few exams again ... no, things aren't that different... they've just changed a little. -Ronnie Czyz 7 ilh their / b r i jj h t ^^ antlers, these CUA student.s are ready for the Christmas tree Ughting to bej»in.

This popular form of dancing has seen a revival on the CUA campus in the last few years, and each year a new group ol students joins in the dancing. The Ballroom Dance Club provides lessons in various forms of dancing to both students and non-students in the CUA communin,'. The Caldwell auditorium served as the ballroom for the sessions. Professional dance instructors provided weekly lessons for those who wanted to have some fun learning how to perform traditional ballroom dance steps, as well as L^tin and swing dancing. While the dance club enjoyed learning new steps and socializing with each other, the dance team used the time to perfect their skills for competitions. The team sent various experienced dance pairs to competitions across the United States and to the Intercontinental Dancesport Festival held annually in England.

The news section tackled difficult issues on and around campus with a transient but talented editorship that included junior Andrew Hartnett, senior Kristin Donnelly, and freshman Katherine Silkaitis. Sports Editor Br)'an Mullican covered CUA sports with unwavering dedication, and Features Editor Diane Cochrane succeeded in covering creative endeavors pursued exclusively by CUA students. Patrick Koucheravy managed a controversial Forum section with finesse, and the team of Kelley Schmidt and Jen Fdowes continued to produce qualit}' /i^M-cr photos.

NSBE hosted numerous events including workshops, inspirational speakers, and a host of parties throughout the school year. NSBE also participated in the regional and national conferences that were open to over 50,000 schools across the country. Proud and diverse, NSBE members represented CUA as they traveled throughout the country from Orlando, to Baltimore, to California. With fun events and all-night parties, it was easy to see why NSBF^ stood over 33 members strong. Although NSBF. was fun, it was also a lot of work. Despite hea\^' class loads, NSBE members were actively involved on campus and in the community. Thus, with hard work came rewards. NSBE members held outstanding internships and part-time jobs, on and off campus. Ever)' year, NSBE brought something new and exciting to CUA.

The students made it their mission "to preach the Gospel with their very lives," seeking to show God's love as expressed in Church teachings in their words, but more so in their actions. And their actions shouted. A new campus publication, The Call, appeared, eleven members received training in sidewalk counseling, and guest speaker Serrin Foster drew one of the largest and most diverse crowds of the 2001-2002 school year. CUA marked a historical March for Life with its largest group ot student marchers ever. In their prayers and sacrifices, pro-life students sought to teach the university the love the Church has for all lumian life and to reaffirm the well-known truth: "CUA is Pro-Life!" ->iory i,y tr,k,i c,„us Attendee.s are considered to be "defenders of life." This group of students are loving life, A CUA student leans against a building downtown with a pro-life sign in hand. Lasting and rightfulK- so. In the early, chilly morning, they were up and readv to march for the most of the day, the event was long and exhausting. Father Btad, part of Campus Ministry, marches with the brothers of the CUA chapter of the social fraternity Alpha Delta Gamma. ADG proudly carried theit banner among the thousands of other marchers into the city. 8 Students for Life This year marked the largest gatheting of CUA participants in the annual March for Life to the Capitol building.

Students for Life 9 CarcfinaCYearSoo^ For the third vear in a row, the Cardinal Yearbook staff came together and put out the 2001-2002 yearbook on time. It was more difficult this vear because all but two of the staff were seniors and production had to be scheduled around papers, theses, comps, and the job/ grad school hunt. But after a great deal of hard work and long hours at the end of the year, it all came together. 1 he year was off to a great start, with the theme ready to go and cover designs abounding. The hard part was coming up with a reliable, dedicated staff. After a few months, it became evident that the staff would consist of Sarah Mowatt, Jess DePrizio, Laura Walz, Michelle Perry, Angel Compton, Will Ellis, Amy Heinzen, and Meghan Nigborowicz. Everyone was assigned a section and dedicated their time to it, along with helping out everyone else. As the year quickly came to an end, the entire staff spent time in the office during both finals week and senior week. With some more time put in over the summer, the book was finally finished. We all hope you enjoyed it! \\^th all these smiles it is hard to see how the staff gets any wotk done. Jess DePrizio and Laura Walz and Editot-in-Chief Satah Mowatt read over stories and captions in order to Will Ellis discu,ssed how exciting this year's C\' Cruise was and collaborated on anothet cottect any mistakes and to make sure the pages ate as exciting and accurate as possible, tant.istic stoty.

Cardinal Yearbook -|-| Sfiafian (De6ate Society .Since its return in 1998, CUA Debate has placed itself at the top of intercollegiate policy debate. In the 2000- 2001 debate season, the Cardinal Debate Team received the top awards in the American Debate Association in the Varsiry, Junior Varsity, and Novice divisions. The Varsiry team of Mat Dunn and Mike Pomorski also won the American Debate Association National Tournament in the Varsiry division in 2001. In the 2001 -2002 season, the team has had continued success on the national and regional circuit, led by senior President Danielle Verney, as well as juniors Mike Pomorski (Treasurer), Mat Dunn, Paul Strait, Patrick Waldinger, and Rich Sampson. The future looks bright too, with Sophomores Melissa Ku (Vice-President) and Kerry Coleman (Secretary) leading a pack of talented freshmen. Of course, the team couldn't do it without their dedicated, devoted, and hard-working coaching staff, consisting of faculty advisor Dean Glen Johnson, Director of Debate Ron Bratt, Associate Director of Debate Steve Mancuso, and Assistant Coaches Mike Dutcher, Paul Kerr, and Andy Peterson (after all, who else would drive the vans?).

For those who gave up their spring break to participate in one ot Habitat for Humanity's three trips, the experience was one of the best students could have had. It was like no other. Since most participants were used to spending the break with friends or family, many were nervous, not knowing anvone or what to expect. For those going to Habitat in Miami, the situation soon changed. Working together helped to form close friendships with others on the trip. However, the trip was not all work. The students were able to make it to the beach in Miami and Key West for some pre-work fun before rising the next day at seven. The rest of the week was spent building Habitat houses during the day and attending fun activities at night. Building houses was a lot of work but according to Will I'^ilis, "It was entirely worth it. Fhe families that we built houses lor made a combined income of S22,()()0 a vear.

The great weather during Senior Week made everything more pleasant. But the drizzle during the picnic did not dampen the mood at all for these seniors. Despite the threatening sky, these seniors are all smiles - knowing that graduation was only two days away. 68 Senior Picnic c N This year's Senior Week T-shirt was entitled, 'Top Ten Reasons You Know You Graduated in 2002." Everyone who participated in the events received a free shirt. Rachel Poyatt, Christine Lee and another senior enjoy the plentiful burgers, crabs and corn at this year's picnic. Seniors ate to their hearts' content, knowing that this was one of the last meals they were going to share as a class at CUA. With all of their free cups and t-shirts, this group of girls is having a great time. Receiving things makes every event better. Senior Picnic 69 Each year the Baccalaureate Mass is held in the Upper Church of the Basilica. The grandeur of the Basilica creates a spectacular setting for the Graduation activities. Each year, a number of graduates announce their plans to dedicate the next few years to service of society. These students were called forward at the end of the sen/ice as the CUA community offered prayers for success In their work. Andrea Ray and Meghan Schuler are among the graduates called up to the altar as family and friends look on. These are two of the service- oriented graduates called to do God's work in the world. 70 Baccalaureate Mass A/I A S S Graduates process out of the Basilica after Mass, one step closer to embracing the adventures the post- graduation world holds for each. Outgoing Vice President of Student Life Father Robert Friday shows off the ceremonial mace to a future CUA student. Look how bright the future is! The faculty happily joins each year in the graduation exercises of their students. Here they display almost as much pride in the accomplishments of their students as that shown by the graduates' families. Baccalaureate Mass 71 ~^- r^ ,4 This graduate and his family head down the hallway towards the banquet hall. The Baccalaureate Dinner Dance was a celebration for both the graduates and their families who boogied into the evening. what a happy foursome these are\ Good food and music made for a wondefull final get- together before graduation. Matt O'Hearn and Jonathan Fry flash smiles in between an evening of dancing and joking around. During the past fouryears at CUA, lasting friendships have formed that the graduates will carry with them. ¥»•«# 72 Baccalaureate Dinner Dance Held at the Crystal City Marriot, the BDD is a popular Senior Week event and one of the few chances for student's families to mingle during the graduation festivities. OCP Director, Cindy Mauris gives some last minute instructions to the BDD Chairwoman Kathy Schmidt and another student. The BDD was a successful event because each and every aspect was choreographed with charts, organization and a dedicated staff. Two Seniors take a breather from the dancing to chat and relax after dinner with a cup of coffee and mentally prepare for the next day's events.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcomings, who knows great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows in the end the high achievement of triumph and who at worst, if he fails while daring greatly, knows his place shall never be with those timid and cold souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

As I come to the end of my third year as editor-in-chief, I am in a way speechless. Yearbook has been an awesome experience for me and it has taught me a great deal. Producing three yearbooks was not something that I ever could have done by myself. My three best friends each had their turn staying during the summer to finish up the book - Jess stayed Sophomore year, Laura stayed junior year and Michelle stayed senior year. But aside from roping in my friends, yearbook was a place to make new friends, as we all did. Will Ellis was awesome this year, providing us with pictures and stories that he wrote on the spot. Meghan Nigborowicz and Amy Heinzen will provide the core for the staff next year. The graduating seniors wish them the best of luck. I hope you all enjoyed the book and found it a little unique. It is, in a way, my gift to the class of 2002. I figured we could all use something a little special, something that sets our year apart from all of the others. Thank you to our advisor, Constantia Dedoulis, who was always there when we needed her. Thank you for three years of friendship and guidance. Thank you to Michael Harris, our Herff-Jones representative, as well as our Victor O'Neil Studios representative. Thank you for all of your encouragment and confidence in us. We almost had a perfect "on-time" three years. Thank you to everyone in OCP - Kim, Brad, Jerry and Cindy. I did not have as many questions this year as I did the first, but you were always there to help me out. Thank you also to the athletic department and to Jane Dowd for all of the sports pictures, both action pictures and group photos. It has been a pleasure producing a yearbook for all of you to enjoy over the past three years. But it is time to hand it off to another editor. I wish the staff of 2002 - 2003 the best of luck. Thank you for everything!
