<p><strong>Football:</strong> The Tigers had a record-setting season.</p>
<p>Along with making the playoffs for the first time at the Division I level, Head Coach Rob Ambrose won the Eddie Robinson award, which honors the best coach in the Football Championship Subdivision, and was recognized as CAA Coach of the Year.  Running back Terrance West was awarded the inaugural Jerry Rice award, given to the most outstanding freshman in the FCS, and was named CAA Rookie of the Year.</p>
<p>West, Jordan Dangerfield and Frank Beltre were named to the All-CAA First Team while Hank Glackin and Derrick Joseph were named to the Second Team and Eric Pike and Tyler Wharton were named to the Third Team.</p>
<p>The CAA Champion Tigers posted a 9-3 record before having their National championship dreams snatched away by the Lehigh Mountain Hawks in the second round of the NCAA playoffs.</p>
<p>Towson is returning the majority of the starters form last year’s team and will look to build off last season’s success.<br />

<p><strong>Men&#8217;s Basketball: </strong></p>
<p>The men’s basketball 2011-2012 season was historically unsuccessful, finishing with just one win and 31 losses. The team also set a NCAA Division-I record by losing 41 consecutive games dating back to the 2010-2011 season.</p>
<p>Head Coach Pat Skerry and his coaching staff have been hard at work to assemble a recruiting class that should help the Tigers to be more competitive in the Colonial Athletic Association.  They will have the services of three Big East transfers to go along with a junior college transfer. In addition, the team will have an exciting freshman class coming in, featuring players like guards Barrington Alston and Frank Mason.</p>
<p>Next season, the Tigers should be immensely improved in the ball-handling department, which will open up the floor and create more scoring opportunities.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Obama: </strong>Over Thanksgiving break, President Barack Obama, along with first lady Michelle, attended the men’s basketball home opener against Oregon State. Michelle’s brother, Craig Robinson, coaches the Beavers, who beat Towson in a 66-46 match.</p>
<p>The game seemed to attract more than one celebrity, as “Ghostbuster’s” Bill Murray sat courtside as well, supporting his son Luke Murray, an assistant coach for Towson. Police beefed up security, conducting fans through searches with a metal detector.</p>
<p>A bomb scan was also performed.</p>

<p><strong>Bacchai: </strong>The department of theatre arts’ final Mainstage production of the 2011-2012 academic year, “Bacchai,” was performed in early May. Written by Euripides, a classical Greek tragedian, “Bacchai” tells the tale of the god of wine and theatre, Dionysus, and his return to Thebes on a mission of revenge against King Pentheus.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Ellen DeGeneres: </strong>More than 300 students stood in the rain October 11, all because rumors that “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” would be at Towson. Keeping up with the event on Twitter, students found out where to be, what to wear and what to bring.</p>
<p>Students dressed in costumes for a chance to win $5,000 gift card to Barnes and Noble, (anything from Harry Potter to Winnie the Pooh) and read aloud scenes from DeGeneres’ book “Seriously… I’m Kidding.”</p>
<p>The winners were John Tune, Michael Bell and Nicole Pacifico who dressed as the Three Blind Mice.<br />

<p><strong>Homecoming: </strong>September marked the 2011 Homecoming Concert featuring rapper Sam Adams and mash-up artist Girl Talk. Adams performed hits like “I Hate College” and “Driving Me Crazy,” using up all, and more, of his allotted playing time.</p>
<p>Random students were allowed on stage to dance during Girl Talk’s set to mash-ups of top 40 hits. Toilet paper, balloons, and confetti fell from the ceiling creating a club-like atmosphere that the Campus Activities Board worked toward.<br />

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Jamba Juice: </strong>Though many of Towson’s events are significant, none is more so than the opening of Jamba Juice, an outside smoothie retailer that seems to blend smoothies out of heaven.</p>
<p>The Towerlight recommends Peanut Butter Moo’d, Aloha Pineapple, or Peach Pleasure.</p>
<p>In addition to Jamba, West Village Commons includes Einstein’s Bagels, Coyote Jacks and mini-mart Outtakes, as well as an all-you-can-dine facility upstairs that offers an omelet and pasta station, and a Chinese grill. Chartwells also altered dining hours for Paws on the weekdays so that it runs until 2 a.m. Bon Appétit.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>9/11: </strong>September marked the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks that rocked the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001.  Since 2001, the attacks haven’t only been a tragedy, but have been incorporated into classroom curricula.</p>
<p>The Towerlight reported earlier this year about political science professor Jack Fruchtman’s introduction of the topic in his Constitutional Law and Politics course.</p>
<p>Professor of psychology Margaret Faulkner led a discussion, stemming from students’ 9/11 experiences, about how people’s experiences shape their perspectives.</p>
<p>Freshman Lauren Jarvis-Gibson also left her mark on the anniversary. Her poem, entitled “September 11th, 2001,” was read at the Tribute World Trade Center Visitor Center. Her poetry professor, Alan Britt, read the poem to the crowd.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>PostSecret: </strong>PostSecret creator and Maryland native Frank Warren gave a talk in November at the West Village Commons as a part of Love is Louder week. Warren showed several never-before-seen secrets and allowed students to share secrets of their own with the crowd.</p>
<p>Love is Louder also started a student group at Towson University as a part of the larger anti-bullying organization.<br />

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Queer Student Union: </strong>Director of Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay and Transgender Development Maren Greathouse left the department last August to lead a similar program at Rutgers University, but the Center for Student Diversity and LGBT groups on campus still made strides in equality.</p>
<p>Gender-neutral housing was approved by Housing and Residence Life in select residence halls for the fall semester, and every restroom on campus was relabeled as gender neutral.</p>
<p>Events such as the Drag Show, Sex Week and the Queer Film Festival were also held.<br />

<p><strong>Tigerfest:  </strong>Selling more than 6,500 tickets (more than 2,000 more than last year), Tigerfest has the most attendees since 2008. Student group Stacked Like Pancakes, DJ White Rabbit, The Cataracts, Ducky and the Vintage, and headliner Kid Cudi performed April 27. S.A.F.E, the event’s security management system, held pat-downs at the Johnny Unitas Stadium entrance and monitored the crowd during performances.</p>
<p>Six people were transported to local hospitals, according to Towson University Police.</p>
<p>College documentary group “I’m Shmacked” was at Towson the same weekend.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Zombies: </strong>Zombies became a new theme in Towson University events in the past year.</p>
<p>More than 200 students participated in Campus Activities Board’s “Survive Towson,” where teams worked together to stay alive as they faced other students acting and looking like zombies.</p>
<p>There were four checkpoints that the runners had to reach, with activities at each place, before being considered safe. The students who completed the race the fastest without “dying,” won.</p>
<p>Many students also participated in the 5K race “Run For Your Lives,” which was held in Darlington, Md., in October.<br />

<p><strong>Charles Village Pub: </strong>Charles Village Pub on Pennsylvania Avenue reopened at the end of April after more than a year of reconstruction.</p>
<p>The newly-renovated pub is bigger than its destroyed counterpart, complete with four bars, a rooftop deck, and a first-floor patio, and holds 150 more people. Since reopening, CVP has attracted its former clients as well as an entirely new crowd of 21-year-olds.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Debate:  </strong>Several discussions and debates mostly involving controversial student group Youth for Western for Civilization, racial slurs and hateful chalking have occurred throughout the year, prompting administration to step in on multiple occasions.</p>
<p>Ultimately, President Loeschke devised a diversity task force designed to seek out and acknowledge concerns from the community. Topics in the debates concerned the now-defunct YWC President Matthew Heimbach and alleged harassment at Muslim Student Association events, Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual and Transgender issues, and safety on campus.<br />

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Gun Scare: </strong>Students, faculty and staff received a text message in late October informing them that there was a suspected gunman near the Union. Turns out the gunman was no real threat, and was just a theatre student who was carrying a prop gun to class that day. After being reported by a construction worker, the suspect was apprehended outside the Center for the Arts, and TUPD confiscated the prop gun.</p>
<p>The scare prompted backlash from students and faculty who said they never received the emergency alert text messages or emails. After hearing the concerns, administration had the windows in the College of Liberal Arts and West Village Commons upgraded to improve cell phone signals in the buildings, and the emergency announcement system was tested on numerous occasions in the event that there was a security threat again.<br />

<p><strong>Imagine Towson: </strong>The Imagine Towson ticket, led by Brandy Hall, swept the election and became the new Student Government Association executive board for the 2012-2013 year. Charlotte Ridgeway was voted vice president, Ben Mendelsohn was elected treasurer, Glorimar Quinones was elected as attorney general, and Kennard Wallace as chief of staff.</p>
<p>Imagine Towson candidates have already been planning for next year, beginning initiatives like the SGA Tumblr and a separate collaboration fund to encourage student  groups to work together. After the election results were announced, Hall said the executive board plans to work on their own initiatives and they heard what the opposing Tiger Strong ticket had in mind and won’t let their ideas fall to the wayside.<br />

<p><strong>Kony 2012: </strong>Three days after the short documentary “KONY 2012” made its Internet debut in March, the 30-minute film gained worldwide popularity through social media.</p>
<p>It garnered millions of shares and likes on Facebook, hits on YouTube, ReTweets on Twitter and posts on Tumblr. Part II was released at the beginning of April and had a signiciantly smaller audience.</p>
<p>Critics discussed the Invisible Children’s Use of funds, intent and actions of creator Jason Russell.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Loeschke: </strong>Maravene Loeschke became Towson University’s 13th president in January. Loeschke hit the ground running, making appearances at athletic events, Student Government Association and University Residence Government meetings and almost everywhere else on campus, including the Towerlight office.</p>
<p>At her spring address, Loeschke said she wants to hire more full and part-time faculty and address the issue of salary compression, the gap in pay between faculty members.</p>
<p>Her main initiative so far has been the issue of diversity on campus, which she addressed by creating the President’s Task Force for Diversity, after hearing students’ comments at the Unity in the Community event.<br />

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Resignations: </strong>This year the Student Government Association had to say goodbye to numerous of members because of resignations. In the first semester, Director of Student Groups Taylor Robinson resigned following senator Kayla Carter stepping down from her position. Both resignations were for personal reasons.</p>
<p>This semester, Treasurer Neal Rivera stepped down from his position due to an internship he received, and Mike Ukoha filled his position for the remainder of the semester. Senators Zofia Poltorak, Kingsley Ugoji, Jeremi Lecuyer, Ashlei Scott, Daniel Breidenbaugh, and Director of Academic Affairs Amanda Barrett also resigned. Outgoing SGA president Matt Sikorski said he was not concerned with these resignations but trusted that it was in the best interest of the members involved.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Same-sex marriage: </strong>This February, Gov. Martin O’Malley signed the Civil Marriage Protection, making Maryland the eighth state to legalize same-sex marriage. The bill passed in the Maryland Senate 25-22 after hours of debate and the rejection of six amendments to the legislation. Supporters, activists, and members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual and Transgender community are not out of the clear, however, as opponents of the bill are expected to call for a statewide vote in November to overturn it before it becomes law.</p>
<p>President Barack Obama also announced his support for same-sex marriage in a recent interview, which has sparked debate as to how the statement will affect his standing in the upcoming presidential election, also in November.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>URG Sweep: </strong>The URGrrreat ticket swept the University Residence Government elections March 25. Almost 2,000 students voted in the election in which URGrrreat beat tickets #Swag and Towson Triforce.</p>
<p>The winning ticket was composed of Justin Schwendeman for president, April Graham for vice president, Joe Zerafa for treasurer, Michaela Nesmith for secretary, Becca Nappi for National Communications Coordinator, Debra Schwarzl for director of special projects, Grant Vitek for director of residency advocacy, Gayon Simpson for director of civic engagment, and David Raymond for director of recognition.</p>
<p>Some initiatives which they have already began working on are getting weekend dining hours for Newell Dining Hall, and establishing a director of diversity outreach.<br />

<p><strong>Vigil: </strong>Two Towson students who were members of Greek life died within a 12-hour period in March: one in a hit-and-run, the other in his sleep at his Towson Place apartment.</p>
<p>Ryan Bailey, a junior brother of Sigma chi, and Timothy Coyer, a 27-year-old Iraq war veteran and brother of Kappa Sigma, were remembered at a vigil held at Speaker’s Circle the following week.</p>
<p>Students packed the Speaker’s Circle hill, leaving flowers and other memorials after the hour-long service commenced.<br />

<p><strong>West Village: </strong>West Village became a thriving center of on-campus life this year. With the addition of two new residence halls and the West Village Commons, that side of campus became better utilized.</p>
<p>The Commons features a new all-you-can-eat dining hall, Jamba Juice, Coyote Jack’s, and an Einstein Bros. Bagels. The Housing and Residence Life office moved to the third floor, which also holds a small gymnasium, and the fourth floor has ballrooms available for student and professional use.</p>
<p>When spring came and the weather warmed up, students could be seen daily out on PacMan field throwing around a football or Frisbee.</p>
<p>Students sat outside to study and socialize and made what was previously considered a near-dead zone, a lively place to meet up with friends.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>TedXTowson: </strong>Both local and national speakers came to Towson as part of TED talks. The organization, which is devoted to “Ideas Worth Spreading,” focused on personal and social responsibility for college students. Each speaker was given 10 minutes to explain his or her message.</p>
<p>Speakers included Baltimore Love Project founder Michael Owen, who painted a mural in less than 10 minutes at the event. Former CNN reporter Kathleen Koch spoke about the power of one, and national speaker Hilary Corna spoke about contemporary explorers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Youth for Western Civilization: </strong>The student group Youth for Western Civilization drew significant attention from the campus community because of their conservative stances on issues such as traditional marriage and illegal immigration after they were voted in as a Student Government Association affiliate at a SGA meeting in September.</p>
<p>Throughout the year, the group, headed by President Matthew Heimbach and Vice President John Donovan, held numerous controversial events on campus, such as a straight pride day and a display against the “muslimification” of America. YWC was also at the center of numerous racially-charged chalkings on campus, such as messages of “white pride,” prompting events on campus such as the Unity in the Community forum, where Heimbach said he would sue the school until it was “white with money,” if their status as a student group was threatened.</p>
<p>The group’s run came to an end in late March when their faculty advisor, Richard Vatz, wrote an email to Heimbach that said he no longer wanted to be the adviser because the group was using rhetoric in their arguments that he did not find acceptable.<br />

<p>Too soon, it seems, I will produce 62 more issues for the 2012-2013 academic year, and I’m excited.</p>
<p>This year alone I have witnessed the appointment of our 13th president, the opening of a gorgeous new complex – (complete with a smoothie station), talented displays from our theater and dance department, and a kangaroo.</p>
<p>That’s just one year.</p>
<p>Cover to cover, The Towerlight staff has attempted to showcase the milestones of Towson’s history – and our rich variety of student, faculty and staff’s initiatives, events and groups.</p>
<p>What will next year hold?</p>
<p>The flavor of the newspaper has changed with the passing of the torch, obviously, but also with the events of the year and the reaction of the campus.</p>
<p>We partially rely on you, the community, to determine what is newsworthy, because we cater to you. I was pleased to hear from a friend that since my first ed desk, he had heard that the “tone” of the Towerlight had changed, that student groups wanted to come forward with events and ideas now, which is fantastic.</p>
<p>I’m not an intimidating individual, certainly, and I welcome all to stop in the office to discuss their ideas with my staff and me.</p>
<p>Or just visit.</p>
<p>To let you know a couple of our plans for next year, we plan to re-implement a  “buzz” section, which will feature a columnist providing commentary about entertainment and celebrity gossip, as well as a student health column, which will offer small tips and tricks to shedding pounds and eating well.</p>
<p>Of course, we’ll still need our staple opinion columnists.</p>
<p>If you think you have a unique voice about a campus issue, I’d encourage you to send a sample to editor@thetowerlight.com</p>
<p>Maybe you want to bicker about the upcoming presidential elections, or maybe you just want to talk about your last drunken venture.</p>
<p>Either way, I’m interested.</p>
<p>One of my favorite pastimes, which many people find bizarre, is flipping through the archives of old Towerlights, observing how the paper has evolved, and looking at the different graphics and the stories on old newsprint.</p>
<p>I’m looking forward to leaving one of those books for future staff. 10 years down the road, maybe they’ll think “how ridiculous was that 2011-2012 Year in Review cover?,” or “why is the Editor-in-Chief so pale?</p>
<p>Who knows what they’ll see.</p>
<p>I’m looking forward to finding out. Have a safe and productive summer, Towson.</p>
<p>I’ll see you next fall.</p>
<p>Continue to view our website for frequent summer updates, including graduation and staff features.</p>
<p>And keep an eye out for our mid-summer issue on the rack July 5.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the semester winds down, I took some time to reflect on what studying abroad has taught me. I narrowed it down to three categories.</p>
<p>Studying abroad has challenged me personally, academically and professionally.</p>
<p>Packing the future four months of your life into two suitcases and a carry-on is a challenge within itself. My advice for future study abroad travelers is to pack light and leave some room for souvenirs. You will come home with a lot.</p>
<p>I had to learn how to live independently in a strange place for a long period of time. Australia is an incredible country and living on the Sunshine Coast is absolutely beautiful. But there are some things you’ll have to figure out.</p>
<p>I had to learn how to get around. Unlike Baltimore, where taking a bus in the city is generally not advised, public transportation will quickly become a way of life in your new country.</p>
<p>Luckily for me, I had two extremely kind and accommodating Australian roommates who were willing to take me the places I needed to go as well as show me a good time every once in a while.</p>
<p>Next there’s the language-barrier problem. Although Australia is an English speaking country, we still had some problems understanding each other. Over here, bathing suits are called “togs” and flip-flops are called “thongs.” So, if your roommate asks you if you’ve seen their leather thongs, don’t worry, it’s just their shoes that they’ve misplaced.</p>
<p>Academically, be prepared for some major changes. The grading system has five levels: High Distinction, Distinction, Credit, Pass, Fail. No one knows what As and Bs are and if you get a 70 percent on an assignment, that’s a Credit and you should be proud. Crazy, huh?</p>
<p>If you haven’t already learned how to write, do so before you come. In each of my classes, I only had three or four assignments and they consisted of only essays, weighted at 20-30 percent each. And if you’re coming to Australia, brush up on the Harvard Style Guide. They don’t use APA here.</p>
<p>Professionally, it may be a good career move to try and get an internship abroad. At the radio station I interned at, I learned all kinds of things about Australian politics, community values, festivals and concerts and local attractions I might not have otherwise.</p>
<p>Finally, be prepared to feel homesick sometimes. I never in a million years thought I would have to deal with this problem. It creeps up on me every now and then and the hardest part for me is knowing I can’t leave until the end of the semester. A phone call to your family can help you feel better, but be sure to call when you’re in high spirits as well. After all, you’ll be having the time of your life, I can guarantee it.</p>
<p>Overall, 2012 might go down in history as the best year of my life. Coming to Australia has been the best decision I’ve ever made. I’ve learned so much about myself, about another culture and how big the world is. I’ve also learned how alike people really are, and how easy it is to make friends when you need them. Traveling with other young people will force you to get up close and personal right from the beginning, but the friends I’ve made I know I’ll have for life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the last issue of the school year, it only seems appropriate I crown my all-time favorite television show, that I spent way too much time watching, for this year! Drum roll, please.</p>
<p>I simply cannot get enough of “Modern Family.” Granted, I might be a little biased since I only started watching it online in the past month or so and am in the middle of season two so I’m still in the honeymoon phase. But I have gone through many seasons of many shows online and none of them have me hooked like this one.</p>
<p>The fact that I have watched over thirty episodes and I haven’t felt the sting of a boring filler episode yet is amazing. Everyone has been the victim of this tragedy at some point in their TV-watching careers. For me, the current champion of pointless episodes is “Glee.”  I also called it quits on “New Girl” for a similar reason. It got to the point where I wasn’t even sure I could explain to someone what the episode was about. But “Modern Family” is not a show where you are completely screwed if you miss one episode (like “Once Upon a Time”) so it is not restricted to specific plot lines and feels no wrath if an episode takes a break from the drama.</p>
<p>The only thing better than the lack of boring episodes? The characters! “Modern Family” focuses on three connected families: a gay couple with an adopted baby girl (Mitchell, Cam, and Lily), the Dunphys, which consists of Phil and Claire and their three children Haley, Alex, and Luke and Manny and his young, beautiful mother who recently married Jay, an older divorced man. Jay is the father of Claire and Mitchell, and the stepfather of Manny. Of course this allows the mature Manny to constantly remind the adults Claire and Mitchell that he is their new brother and remind Luke, who is the same age as Manny, that he is his nephew. And that’s only a tiny fraction of the ridiculousness of this family. But hey, ridiculous isn’t always a bad thing, after all, it’s been working for my family.</p>
<p>Another unusual occurrence? I am constantly changing my mind about who my favorite character is. Phil probably makes me laugh the most trying the be the “cool dad” by “keeping it real.” Cam, the large, flamboyant father with a flair for the dramatic, has a loud and bubbly personality that is opposite his partner’s and possesses strange hidden talents like being a trained clown. He is probably who I am most like (or at least I’m told so by my roommate&#8230;which definitely says something about me.) But I wish I were Gloria, Jay’s wife, for the obvious reason that she is played by the beautiful Sofia Vergara. I also relate to her because of how loud and talkative she is, her terrible driving and her short temper. I do not, however, have a thick Colombian accent or feel comfortable killing rats with shovels.</p>
<p>If you haven’t gotten around to watching this show, you need to drop your textbooks, stop studying and catch up online. And in the meantime, just think about how excited you are to be back at home with your family again with nothing to do. You could end up like Mitchell: “It&#8217;s Cameron&#8217;s turn to be out in the world interacting with other grown-ups while I get to stay at home and plot the death of Dora the Explorer.  Fill her backpack with bricks, and throw her into Candycane River&#8230; “ Happy summer!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Council of University System Faculty will meet on Towson’s campus May 18 to discuss Towson’s definition of academic freedom, which will be revised and updated, according to University Senate Chairman Timothy Sullivan.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Every so often you have to update what is meant by academic freedom,” he said. “How do you define it? So the system will have a policy where there will be an official definition of academic freedom.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Academic freedom is the range of content faculty is allowed to discuss within the classroom.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Academic freedom has three components, according to Towson’s American Association of University Professors (AAUP) Faculty Association.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>First professors have freedom in research and in publication results. Also, they reserve freedom in the classroom discussing topics as long as they are careful not to be controversial on matters that is not related to their subject. And lastly, they are free from institutional censorship and discipline.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sophomore Alex Salas believes that Towson upholds her thoughts about academic freedom because she’s never had any problems relating to it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“I think that academic freedom means that teachers should be able to teach what they want to or believe in without getting in trouble,” she said.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The rules for academic freedom are based off of a statement from 1940 that states academic freedom is necessary to accomplish the goals of the University.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Institutions of higher education are conducted for the common good and not to further the interest of either the individual teacher or the institution as a whole. The common</p>
<p>good depends upon the free search for truth and its free exposition,” the statement reads.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This past year has been one of the best of my life. I’ve had amazing opportunities and learned more about myself than ever before. This column has been an unexpected outlet for me, and I really want to thank anyone who has read any of them. Hopefully you thought it was interesting and were able to learn something new.</p>
<p>For my last column, I thought it would be cool to reflect upon my year by noting its parallels to the music industry… So here goes nothing:</p>
<p>I am the Cee Lo Green of project management.</p>
<p>Cee Lo has had a successful music career with three projects: Goodie Mob, Gnarls Barkley and as a solo act, as well as being a judge on the talent show “The Voice.”</p>
<p>This year, I have been able to balance being the director of Campus Activities Board, a part-time employee at Record &amp; Tape Traders, a Rams Head Live! street team member,  as well as a student.</p>
<p>I am the Taylor Swift of award ceremonies.</p>
<p>Whenever T. Swift accepts an award, she never fails to be surprised.</p>
<p>Her reaction is usually to drop her jaw and gasp, as duly noted by Kristen Wiig on Saturday Night Live. This year, I’ve received nominations for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Leadership Award, the Vice-President for Student Affairs Award and the Hoke L. Smith Outstanding Student Organization Award.</p>
<p>I am genuinely honored to have received these nominations on behalf of my involvement in CAB because everything I’ve done just made sense for me to do and felt right to me, and I’m humbled by the recognition.</p>
<p>I am the Justin Bieber of opportunity.</p>
<p>As a youngster, the Biebs uploaded his performance videos on YouTube and after a while got noticed by industry moguls, notably, Usher.</p>
<p>Seeing the raw talent and potential in this kid, Usher nurtured his career into one of the most well-known success stories in music.</p>
<p>I’ve been working my buns off in CAB for the past three years, and that hard work worked even smarter under the influence of Liz Rapoport. She’s the Coordinator for Campus Programming, the CAB advisor and my mentor. Liz, stop denying yourself credit.</p>
<p>Finally, I am the Jay-Z of comebacks.</p>
<p>Jay-Z retired from music in 2003. Yeah, OK. Since then, he’s released six albums, both solo and collaborative, including “Watch the Throne” with Kanye West.</p>
<p>I’ve acknowledged the fact that my time with CAB is up. I’ve made my mark on this campus through the organization, and I’ve still got a year left at Towson.</p>
<p>Now, college, I’ma let you finish, but I’m gonna have one of the best careers of all time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Towson’s Phi Mu, Phi Theta chapter was recently crowned Towson’s best sorority chapter, and they have high expectations for the future, Campus Activities Chair Meghan Nash said.</p>
<p>“[Joining] was most definitely the best decision of my life,” Nash said. “We prided ourselves in being involved with our philanthropy, Children’s Miracle Network.  Every girl in our sorority generally cares and is aware of our main purpose of giving back.”</p>
<p>Phi Mu earned the title of “best sorority chapter” from their high attendance rate at various Greek Life events.</p>
<p>Phi Mu also was honored for being involved in other organizations geared toward each girl’s specific major.</p>
<p>Phi Mu is known to the members as their home away from home, and as a strong, well-built sisterhood, sophomore Jess Beer said.</p>
<p>“Being that I am from Florida, I have never felt so welcomed before by a group of girls,” Beer said.  “I’m so proud to call each and every one of them my sister and I know they will be there for me whenever I need them.”</p>
<p>Megan Hancheruk, the public relations chair of Phi Mu  said the sisters have plans to build Phi Mu as an organization for years to come.</p>
<p>“Phield Day” will be an event for all the girls to participate in any field event they can think of.</p>
<p>“This was extremely well-deserved and I couldn’t be more proud to be a part of this group of girls,” Hancheruk, said.</p>
<p>“My job is to maintain Phi Mu’s image and let others know what were doing.”</p>
<p>They will also host their annual, “Phi Mu Lion King” next semester.</p>
<p>The Phi Mu Lion King invites all organizations and money will be donated to their philanthropy.</p>
<p>This summer Phi Mu will also attend a national leadership conference to learn other techniques from other Phi Mu chapters around the country.</p>
