This year, the University of Dayton's new student orientation combined the same great experience for first years with a bit of a twist: PALs! PAL stands for Peer Academic Leaders, who were discussion group leaders for the class of 2012. The PALs were extensively prepared and trained for their duties at Orientation . They prepared lesson plans and exciting activities for the students to enjoy. The PALs had an RA and a Blue Crew member to assist them with the students . The three leaders did just about everything with the first-years, such as helping with moving in, giving campus tours, and accompanying them to their sessions. Move-in weekend, as always, was full of many events for students to attend . There were activities at ArtStreet, an ice cream social, recreational activities at the RecPlex and the biggest event, Convocation. This year's orientation was a benefit to more than just the new students. it also helped those in charge get experience with leadership roles and helped them show new students the Marianist spirit that UD offers. PAL Leader Christina Council said, "New Student Orientation helped me to develop my leadership and gave me the practice of facilitating a group while managing different tasks." She also said that a PAL's role in a first year's experience lasted until October, giving the new students an opportunity to truly bond with their mentors and friends .

First-years participated in activities such as an ice cream social and Orientation group discussions, all in the midst of moving in and unpacking.

The UD student body makes the point very clear that Halloween is a celebration for both young and old with its enthusiasm for the exciting holiday. Each Halloween, the students, faculty and staff at the University become extra festive for the occasion . They take time out of their busy schedules to participate in the festivites that go along with Halloween. Residents decorate their floors spookily to excite the area children who visit on Trick or Treat night to enjoy the atmosphere, costumes and, of course, candy. The creativity doesn't end there! Many UD students create their own costumes, filling the buildings and neighborhoods with their Halloween spirit and resourcefulness. Even cold weather and classes cannot deter the Flyers from expressing their remarkable creativity. Students wear their costumes to class, to meals and even to their campus jobs. Costumes this year ranged from famous people to household objects to the traditional ghoulish monsters. 2008's batch of costumes was certainly both very clever and occasionally very frightening! It is a unique phenomenon, the way UD students go all out for Halloween.

The variety of costumes, from a Rubik's cube to a mermaid to a bag of jellybeans show that Halloween costumes are all about creativity, not expensive pieces.

The Black Box Theater may not hold too many audience members, but those that do get a seat are guaranteed entertainment!

Studio Theater actors display a wide range of emotions and actions with very few props and almost no set dressing - now that's talent.

Hundreds of students and members of the Dayton community gathered for the Relay for Life . Months of planning and organization go into this event, which raises money for and awareness about the American Cancer Society .

There were plenty of activities all over campus to keep students and their sibs busy all weekend. Fun and games in the RecPlex and arts and crafts are just a few examples of all the fun.

As Told By UD Student Aubrey Hartnett

This year's Little Sibs weekend was March 13-15, themed "The Jungle." CAB and SGA put together a weekend-long program of everything from a "Madagascar" Flick n' Float to a hypnotist to a jungle-themed cake-decorating contest to giant inflatable games . There were arts and crafts, games, contests, and activities all over campus throughout the weekend, fit for little siblings of all different age groups.

As someone who does not get to see my siblings very often, Little Sibs weekend is great. My youngest brother flew out to Dayton for the second time for Little Sibs. It is something he looks forward to for months, and once he registered, it was all he talked about. He wears the official shirt more often than anyone I know, and it is certainly the highlight of his spring. Peter remembers and talks about the people he met and the activities he did all the time .

...And Her Little Sib, Peter Hartnett

In the cake decorating contest, each set of sibs got two cakes. The plans my sister and I made were not easy to do with a cake. We made a monkey, some trees, the sky and ground. The monkey was the thing that made our cake ours. The next morning (Saturday) the day started off with breakfast at KU. I always like eating in college dining halls and I also met some of my sister's friends. That afternoon' we made inflatables a priority. The laser tag and the obstacle course race were both lots of fun . We played pool that night after inflatables, and then we went to a French Mass which was really interesting . Little Sibs Weekend was a lot of fun and I enjoyed seeing my sister, too.

LiDle Sibs Weekend

The impromptu Darkside Unplugged event was a direct result of the blackout that UD faced in the fall. Students came together for an evening of music, fun and camaraderie during the trying time that the Dayton community was facing . Junior Kelly Fine, pictured above, was one of the several performers at this concert. The young performer made a mark on the local music scene this year with the release of her first album, "Looking West," released by Henderson Home Studios.

Music has long been close to Fine, a piano player since age three. Since her career at UD began, she taught herself to play the guitar, and has performed with the Ebony Heritage Singers.

"Having played piano definitely helped me learn the guitar. it's a whole new set of muscles you have to develop, but it helped me learn theory," Fine said .

A regular performer at Art Street's Thursday Night Live, Fine said one of her proudest moments was when a fan brought an entire table of friends to a performance. The fan, after several visits to Fine's My Space page, simply had to introduce her friends to Fine's music.

She has been a regular in UD's music scene through various other events as well, including Pub Night performances and Battle of the Bands appearances. She was one of the many aspects of the Darkside Unplugged that contributed to this outpouring of community and outreach during a (quite literally) dark time.

Kelly Fine and other UD performers brought their talents out into the streets of the Student Neighborhood during the diffiCUlt UD Blackout in the fall.

Live music brought UD students together in the Student Neighborhood. Activities were otherwise scarce during the near-total blackout UD was experiencing.

The audience brought their own furniture in many cases and arranged it however was most comfortable. Very resourceful!

Winston Churchill famously said, "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." This quote is epitomized by Distance 4 Dreams, an organization that works with A Special Wish Foundation to benefit chronically sick children in the Dayton area. Through a series of fundraisers, including the Minnie Marathon 5k and a pancake breakfast over Parents' Weekend, the group rallied to send a local child and his family to Disney World. In addition, each member participated in the Walt Disney World Marathon, which required five months of training. "D4D involves students taking time out of their busy semester to share a common goal, and grant the wish of a special child," says graduate student Jared Kosters . While in Disney World, the group visited Give Kids the World Village, an organization that serves to give Special Wish families once-in-a-lifetime, cost-free vacations. This allowed them to share in the magical experience of their wish family and to see the results of all of their efforts. Co-Coordinator Stephanie Ricker is proud of the group's accomplishments thus far; "Distance 4 Dreams started only 2 years ago, and we have already raised over $15,000 for A Special Wish Foundation. I cannot wait to see what happens in the organization's future as it spreads across the nation!" The organization is the paradigm of Churchill's statement because their goals are not only to better themselves, but to better the lives of others-and that is truly magical.

"There is no stopping us from finding a way to see even the hint of a smile on that child's face ... It is no doubt that D4D and its members exemplify the mission of UD: to learn, lead and serve."

-Jared Koste rs, D4D Member

The University of Dayton offers a wide range of retreat options for its students throughout each academic year. From Metanoia to the Lighthouse Retreats, there is something to appeal to each and every student. Those who have not attended retreats previously can attend perhaps slightly less intense events in order to become acclimated to the general retreat situation. Those who have had a good deal of prior experience in the area may lead retreat sessions for their fellow students and share their knowledge and skills to give others a satisfying retreat weekend/ overnight/ etc. The opportunity to get off of campus and be isolated, if only for a short time, from the general stresses and distractions of university life can work wonders for one's mental and spiritual health - no matter what capacity one attends a retreat in.

As evidenced by the surrounding photos, wildnerness and oneness with nature are important aspects to many UD retreat experiences.

Both the solitude of nature and the camaraderie of shared experiences in the great outdoors are important.

New friendships are forged through the days and nights spent together participating in a variety of activities.

Amnesty International

When it comes to standing up for what's right, Amnesty international tops the list. Amnesty international (Ail has a huge international footprint in the realm of human rights, but until lately hasn't been active in the Dayton area. All that changed this past year as Ai founded a new chapter at UD. Led by student preSident, Meghan Tobin, Ai's mission, according to Tobin, is "to encourage student and faCUlty unification in an effort to encourage advocacy of international human rights." Most Ai ac tivities focus on global areas where rights of both persons and groups are flagrantly being violated by th e forces in power. By accessing and harnessing public opinion, and casting a critical but objective spotlight on the human rights Violators, Ai hopes to be able to achieve a moral victory at least, and at most effect change in the harmful policies at play. According to Tobin, the role models for Ai come right out of the pages of history: "We are a paSSionate group inspired by the likes of Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and Rosa Parks and believe in acting on our words ."

in its first year here on campus, Ai hasn't been idle . One of the most important activities Ai has undertaken, according to Tobin, is "producing a documentary in which we investigate human rights violations against immigrants." The documentary was aired, in conjunction with an internationally themed dinner and discussion, following Human Rights Week." in late November and early December, UD's Ai sponsored a local write-in campaign directed at a foreign power illegally holding a political prisoner. Th anks to UD AI's ongoing efforts, the political prisoner was released and his life was saved . Getting involved in the cause for peace is nothing new. Jesus embraced this concept 2000 years ago. Th e cause for peace is still alive and practiced under the auspices of organizations such as Ai.

Habilallor HumaniIV

The idea of hard work being its own reward is expressed in Dayton's Habitat for Humanity IHFH), one of Habitat's many global chapters.

Helping others by building houses has been the seminal concept of HFH since its founding by Millard Fuller in 1972. Hundreds of thousands of homes have been built for those unable to afford to buy one. in an era of news about mortgage defaults, DOHFH and its international affiliates are a beacon of hope for the homeless.

The philosophy of HFH revolves around the idea of getting by sweating. Prospective homeowners must exert from 300 to 500 hours of labor for their future home before they can qualify for the program . The use of low cost materials, plus donations of materials, time and labor by charitable individuals and businesses, are key strategies in allowing the homeless to afford something they otherwise couldn't have. Economizing continues with the Restore concept, in which slightly used building materials are resold for a large discount to customers affiliated with or donators to DOHFH.

Once the community and new owner have finished the home, a 20 year interest free mortgage for the cost of supplies and contracted labor is all the new owner owes his or her benefactors . A scenario such as this is both an example of Christian charity, plus the idea of "the gift that keeps on giving."

UD students can and have been house-builders, adding yet another dimension of altruism toward others . They work many Saturdays throughout the school year to complete the construction of 1-2 houses each academic year. During the fall semester, the Wright, Baker, Gilmore, and Woods homes were dedicated . in addition to holding new homeowner ceremonies, DOHFH holds year-round events used to advertise and raise funds. Events such as pancake breakfasts and poker tournaments are common ways of raising money for this group .

For UD's Habitat for Humanity, building homes is a way to build a better world .

Dance Marathon

What could be a better way to have fun than to help others while enjoying a lively, party atmosphere? For the past decade, UD students have participated in Dance Marathon, an annual event which raises funds for children afflicted with a variety of diseases. Led by Grace Rodney, this event allows students to dance for 12 hours straight while sponsors donate money fo r a worthy cause. All donated funds go to a local medical center, Dayton Children's, to support ch ildren who are ill and need finanical support. Dance Marathon gets all of its donation activity from sponsors who donate funds in response to the dancing of the marathon partiCipants . These 12 hours are neither boring nor tiresome, but are a great deal of fun! Prizes, food , and popular musi c are part of the atmosphere that is truly the hallmark of these yearly events . Thousands of dollars can be raised from a marathon all while the dancers themselves see it as a great way to have fun and exercise at the same time . UD students combine the best of both worlds with the Dan ce Marathon ; having a great time while making a positive difference in the community.

On the morning of March 15,2009, the Dayton Colony of Beta Theta Pi hosted its second annual Beta Beach Brunch . While the event was an all-you-can-eat brunch, providing food was not the sole purpose for the festivities. The Beta Beach Brunch is Beta Theta Pi's main philanthropy event, and all of the proceeds went to benefit the SI. Vincent de Paul Society. "The SI. Vincent de Paul Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping those in need. They ...have a prominent presence in the Dayton area," said philanthropy chair Kevin Pitstick.

The colony raised over $3,000 through ticket sales and generous donations. At the brunch, the brothers, including colony counselor and master chef Father Joseph Tedesco S.M , prepared a wide variety of food. The selection included pancakes, sausage and eggs, among other dishes. The Colony also provided beach-themed music to set the mood.

On the day of the event, two hundred forty-three people attended the brunch . Pitstick said, "We had a larger turn-out than last year, and in the future we hope to expand it further."

"The brunch was definitely a success," said colony president Andrew Fist. "We were so glad to serve both our community members and those who interact with SI. Vincent's . Not only that, it's really satisfying to see so many of our brothers rally around the event and put so much effort in knowing that everything goes to a wonderful cause."

The men's soccer team had an impressive fall season, scoring 18 wins and 3 ties out of a 25-match season. The Flyers won all three of their matches in the Atlantic 10 Soccer Championship against formidable opponents . .Impressively, the Flyers also won everyone of their matches at Baujan Field.

The women's soccer team posted an impressive 16-6-1 record in the 2008 fall season. Although they lost to Charlotte in the Atlantic 10 Women's Soccer Championship in November, the Flyers did beat major rival Xavier, as well as Fordham and La Salle. The team hung close with Duke and Rutgers in tough matches as well. The season concluded with seven matches in the spring. Out of these seven games, the Flyers won five and tied 2, an impressive conclusion to an amazing season for the women involved. The six graduating seniors who played this season went out on a strong note with such records for the fall and spring matches.

Over the course of nearly four months, through 38 matches, the women's volleyball team won 25 times, often winning four games in a row. These common streaks and amazing run during the fall sports season made the women's volleyball games some of the hottest and most popular events on campus each time they hosted a game at the Frericks Center. Although the Flyers lost at the finals of the Atlantic 10 Women's Volleyball Championship, their fans stuck by them throughout their incredibly journey in the tournament and cheered them on from play to amazing play. The women also triumphed over Western Michigan 3-2 in the last match of the NCAA Women's Volleyball Championship, giving the Red Scare something else to cheer about during this exciting and high-profile season.

The team graduated only one senior this year, suggesting that strong leadership and continued teamwork between these women will lead to another impressive season in 2009-10 .

The women's volleyball gam es became extremely popular events this season as their impressive winning streaks and intense matches drew legions of fans .

Both the men and women's cross country teams had very impressive seasons as a whole. Consistently great times and places at each meet marked the 2008-09 races. However, several individual competitors stood out among the ranks of these amazing athletes with particular feats and accomplishments over the course of the year.

Men's Cross Country Women is Cross Country

On the men's team, brothers Matt and Chris Lemon, both sophomores, posted various record-setting times throughout the season. The athletes competed at the NCAA Cross Country Championships in November, the first UD athletes to do so in program history. The brothers earned various other honors and awards throughout the season for both academic and athletic achievements .

For the women, sophomore Maureen Bulgrin was the Team MVP for several reasons . She was named A-10 Performer of the Week three times throughout the fall and led her teammates in seven of eight races. Bulgrin also earned All-Conference honors for her tenth-place finish at the A- 10 Championships.

The honors that these individual athletes, Bulgrin and Lemon(s} alike, garnered throughout the season are promising for their next years of competition at UD. A combined total of nine athletes graduated from the cross country teams in 2009. The great experience and new leadership of next year's teams should yield more incredible results from both the men's and women's teams .

The men's squad went 27-8 this season, culminating with their first NCAA tournament appearance since 2004 . The men started off incredibly strong with a tengame winning streak that had Flyer fans in a veritable frenzy. Even after the streak was broken in early December, there was a great deal of talent and tenacity in the remainder of the season with this impressive squad Other highlights from the Flyers' 2008-09 season include victories over Xavier and Marquette. The team's inclusion in the NCAA tournament began with an amazing upset victory over West Virginia in the first round. Dayton fell to defending national champion Kansas in a hard-fought game. Charles Little ended his incredible career as a Flyer as the only graduating senior. New recruits and the large number of returning players promise another memorable season next year.

Led by senior Ashley Brown and head coach Jim Jabir, the women's basketball team had an impressive and often nail-biting season. The large number of young players (the majority of the team was composed of sophomores) and their enthusiasm seemed to describe the team with their energy and vitality in each and every game. The team finished 21-14 on the season with a loss in the second round of the NIT - their initial victory in the tournament marked the . program's first-ever postseason win. The season highlights included a February 10 win over Fordham, 82-45. In March, the team competed in the Atlantic 10 Women's Basketball Championship in Charlotte, NC, advancing to play (and, unfortunately, lose) in the semifinals after an overtime victory over rival Xavier. Fans should look for another great season to come from this steady group of women as new talents and leadership emerge in the 2009-10 season.

To our Mary Shannon, You have grown up into such a beautiful and intelligent young woman! (Mary Shannon to family ... "Molly" to all of your school chums ... ) We are so proud of you. From your determination and commitment to your team from the side of the football field throughout high school (nobody loves football the way YOU do!), your "beginning" modeling career (always LOVED the pink dress fountain shot), and finally when you moved out on your own with your 64 Chambers Street Gal Pals (Such a big girl, now!). You've come a long way from pigtailed girl licking fudge from the beater when you were three, or the happy, CHUBBY baby standing in her crib. Now Dad, I , and your brothers know you'll be the BEST elementary school teacher EVER! We wish you luck and love in all you do! We love you, "MOLLY"!

Congratulations on your Graduation with HONORS! Mom, Dad, Patrick and Jay
