UMUC EUROPE COMMENCEMENT 4 MAY 2019
In 1949, the University of Maryland University College (UMUC) was the only pioneering institution to send seven professors to teach military students in postwar Germany. This deep–rooted tradition of serving the military in war and peace continues to this day.
This year, we are proud to celebrate our 70th year of delivering higher education overseas to U.S. military servicemembers and their families, exemplified through the incredible achievements of our students. CELEBRATING 70 YEARS OVERSEAS
UMUC was founded in 1947 as the College of Special and Continuation Studies, a branch of the University of Maryland's College of Education, with locations in College Park and around the state. In 1949, UMUC became the first university to send faculty overseas to educate active-duty military personnel in Europe. What started off as a noble experiment, with seven professors in six cities in Germany, has turned into a globally-recognized, award-winning institution that includes graduates from all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and over 20 countries and territories worldwide.
UMUC Europe is proud to be in a continued partnership with the U.S. government and the state of Maryland to provide quality education to 14,000 students annually in 17 countries and 50+ locations in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. We are wherever the military is, whether permanently stationed or deployed. Times have changed since those first classes in war-torn buildings 70 years ago. Now we deliver courses both on-site and online using cutting-edge technology, tailored class schedules for individual military units, and innovative live streaming formats at many locations.
2 More than one million servicemembers have taken UMUC courses. This long relationship has made the university particularly sensitive to the needs of the military community and has prepared UMUC to handle key details, including veterans benefits and the transfer of credit earned in military specialty schools. By proving that high standards of excellence can be maintained in nontraditional settings, UMUC has established itself as an integral part of military life.
Students graduating from UMUC Europe in the Class of 2019 have earned 506 associate degrees, 560 bachelor’s degrees, and 209 master’s degrees. Graduates represent U.S. military communities across the European, Central, and Africa Commands, with many having served or currently serving in war zones. Worldwide over 13,300 graduates will have earned a UMUC degree this year.
Today, UMUC remains committed to the same unifying mission, offering a high-quality education that is affordable and accessible, while meeting critical workforce needs and accommodating the busy lifestyles of adults in the 21st century and the modern U.S. Armed Forces.
We are honored to celebrate 70 years of providing quality education to extraordinary students overseas, including those here today who have achieved an important educational milestone in their lives.

19 2018-2019 STANLEY J. DRAZEK TEACHING EXCELLENCE AWARD WINNERS
Professor Denise M. DiStefano has been at the forefront of innovation as changes in technology have provided unique opportunities in the classroom. While fully embracing innovative learning, her basic goals have remained the same for the past 25 years. “At the end of my time with my students, I want them to have gained knowledge, proficiency, and interest in the course subject matter; developed or increased their curiosity for learning in general; and have practiced
DENISE M. DISTEFANO and honed their analytical reasoning skills,” she stated.
COLLEGIATE “Professor DiStefano was the best instructor I have PROFESSOR had at UMUC. She is awesome. I looked forward to this FACULTY COORDINATOR, class every week,” lauded a recent business law student. BUSINESS AND “She was able to take a subject like law and make it BEHAVIORAL / relevant and fun—it was a great learning environment.” SOCIAL SCIENCES Since 1998, Professor DiStefano has taught students at sites in Germany, the United Kingdom, and Italy using on-site, online, hybrid, and live streaming formats. Throughout her career, she has made a lasting impact on thousands of students helping them to understand complex issues in business, management, and criminal justice. She also coaches and guides fellow faculty, having served as an academic coordinator, faculty peer, and trainer.
The success of her teaching is founded on a solid strategy. Professor DiStefano explained, “I strive to offer my students a challenging, engaging, relevant, and connected learning experience where they are valued and supported.” Always nurturing her students to advance, she commented, “I try to make seemingly difficult and tedious subjects both understandable and interesting, making the information relatable and relevant to their lives.”
Previously, Professor DiStefano worked in government relations offices of Corning and Texas Instruments. In addition, she served as a law clerk of the U.S. Tax Court. She earned a BA in Communication and JD from American University; a BS in Computer Studies from UMUC; and an LLM from the University of Heidelberg.
20 “Professor Martin is a treasure and an instructor who cares for her students,” stated a recent biology student. Dr. Theresa Martin’s enthusiasm, breadth of knowledge, and passion for her subject is her students' inspiration to learn, and her encouragement is a key to their success.
The intense understanding she has of her students is a direct result of her own life’s journey. Dr. Martin is the daughter of a U.S. Air Force senior THERESA MARTIN non-commissioned officer. Both of her parents are COLLEGIATE also UMUC alumni. She became the spouse of an ASSISTANT airman, now retired, who works as a government PROFESSOR service civilian in Germany. A mother of three FACULTY COORDINATOR, children, she completed her degrees during the NATURAL SCIENCES family’s time in the military.
Dr. Martin intimately knows the challenges that UMUC students face, having walked in their shoes. “I know that my success as a student was because of my family, my goals, and the caring faculty that I met along my journey,” she stated. “Knowing that my students face the same challenges I did— working, deployments, functioning as a single parent, managing a household, and working on an education—I know that I can help them.”
Her teaching philosophy consists of two components: assisting her students to become critical thinkers able to evaluate their educational, professional, and personal pursuits, and the belief that her students are capable of achieving their academic goals. “The best part of my teaching experience is the moment when former students reach their goals, such as achieving a degree. That is such an amazing moment for them and it is a privilege that I get to be part of their journey.”
Dr. Martin holds a BS in Environmental Studies– Life Science and an MS in Biology from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. She recently earned a Doctor of Management from UMUC.
21 WILLIAM C. BENTLEY MEMORIAL AWARD
The William C. Bentley Memorial Award was established in 1983 and is presented each year in honor of Colonel William C. Bentley, the first student to earn a University of Maryland University College degree through study in Europe. In addition to being the first Europe campus graduate, Colonel Bentley played a key role in bringing UMUC to Europe. The award is presented annually to the UMUC Europe baccalaureate graduate with the highest cumulative grade point average.
22 2018-2019 WILLIAM C. BENTLEY MEMORIAL AWARD RECIPIENT
"Everyone is different, so each person has to look within themselves honestly and embrace their own unique characteristics,” states Mrs. Nicole Sewell, this year’s William C. Bentley Memorial Award recipient. Graduating with a 4.0 grade point average at the age WILLIAM C. BENTLEY of 52, Mrs. Sewell is an example that you are never MEMORIAL AWARD too old to pursue your dreams.
Starting more than 35 years ago, taking a course at UMUC was her third attempt to begin college, but it
NICOLE SEWELL was her first time to complete a course. "Unfortunate life circumstances" ended the first two attempts, but this time Mrs. Sewell said "the planets aligned" and she found herself with all of the components she felt were necessary for a successful college career: financial support, emotional support, and time.
Initially she planned to pursue an associate degree in German. However, UMUC German Professor Molly Affleck, now retired, reignited her love of learning and sparked her desire to achieve broader goals. Finding she was not always the oldest student in the classroom also gave her the courage to expand earlier tentative ambitions. She chose to major in English because of her passion for literature and languages.
Mrs. Sewell credits her husband, a retired U.S. Army reservist who proudly served in two deployments and now works as a contractor in Germany, as her strongest supporter. His emotional support included "eating countless frozen pizzas when I lacked the time to cook, attending many social events solo while I studied, and always being my biggest cheerleader." Additionally, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits he earned during his military service provided necessary financial support for Mrs. Sewell to achieve her academic goals.
Working more than one job at a time, Mrs. Sewell learned work ethic and prioritization skills that prepared her for college. Asked what advice she would offer others, she stated, “Everyone has it within themselves to achieve their goals, but goals also require a lot of hard work and perseverance."23

BACHELOR'S DEGREE GRADUATES HONORS CANDIDATES
ACADEMIC HONORS for excellence in scholarship are determined from the cumulative grade point averages of undergraduate baccalaureate students who have completed 30 or more credits with University of Maryland University College. Students may earn the distinctions of cum laude, magna cum laude, and summa cum laude, to signify graduation with honor, high honor, and highest honor, respectively. Sometimes called graduation honors, these traditional academic designations are awarded at the time a baccalaureate degree is conferred.
The distinction of cum laude honors is conferred on those students with a cumulative grade point average of 3.8 to 3.9, magna cum laude is conferred on those students with a grade point average of 3.901 to 3.999, and summa cum laude is conferred on those students with a grade point average of 4.0.
Students who have earned these honors wear cords as part of their academic regalia for the commencement ceremony: white cords indicate cum laude honors, blue cords indicate magna cum laude, and gold cords indicate summa cum laude.
UMUC is proud to recognize all honors candidates for the Class of 2019.
Summa Cum Laude Magna Cum Laude Cum Laude
As final action cannot always be taken by the time this program is printed, the list of honors and May candidates is tentative. University of Maryland University College reserves the right to add and withdraw names once all final grade point averages have been calculated.
