| | Our Terps are undefeated and will go to Morgantown this Thursday
evening to take on the 5th ranked Mountaineers. Imagine the
exhilaration on Thursday night in the event that the Terps win! Let’s
make sure to channel our excitement into positive celebrations that
show our pride and honor our athletes, and encourage our fellow fans to
do the same.
In past years, small numbers of individuals within our community
have allowed their celebrations to include setting fires, lighting
fireworks, vandalizing property, and other disruptive actions. With
our community’s safety in mind, the University Code of Student Conduct
now provides for the suspension or expulsion of any student who engages
in misconduct as a part of any University sponsored activity. This
applies to events and behaviors that occur on or off the campus. You
can find information about the Code of Student Conduct at http://www.president.umd.edu/policies/v100b.html.
With any victory, it is perfectly natural for us to wish to come
together as a community. Let’s celebrate constructively. Each of us
can discourage behaviors that disrupt the campus and pose dangers to
other citizens and property as we celebrate. We can refrain from such
acts and we can encourage our fellow fans and citizens to do the same.
On any day that our athletic teams perform like champions, let’s
all celebrate in a manner that illustrates the best in our community
and validates the sportsmanship and pride that characterize our teams.
Go Terps!
Sincerely,
Deborah Grandner
Director of Resident Life
