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.

School of Arts and Sciences 11 Engineering, lust the sound of the word nnidc most think of those insanely dedicated to long hours or\\ork in the lab. Iibrar\'. or on a computer. Most wondered how thcv cnjoyctl college when they practically lived in Pangborn! What these people did not sec were the challenges that made it an interesting wav of life. 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. How else could you help your hiend across the room with how to make the Matlab code work' We have come to love this tool to such an c,\tent thatyou knowyou are an engineer if vou ha\'c e\'cr talked to the person ne,\t to you on IM. sion- continued botlom rii^hl: Farthest Left: During Engineering Week, Department Feud was held between the four engineering departments.
