Harambee II: Celebrating first years Away from home for the first time, University students often find their first semester at the University the most difficult. This is the reason why the Peer Advisor Program began Harambee II for first-year African Americans. "Any first-year student should feel a sense of success," said Sylvia Terry, director of the Peer Advisor Program and associate dean of African American affairs. At the event, distinguished African American alumni speak - this year the first years heard from 1992 College graduate Kimberly Bonner, the director of the Center for Intellectual Property in the Digital Environment at the University of Maryland. Last year, Robert Bland, a 1959 Engineering School graduate, spoke about his experiences as the first African American to graduate with a degree in engineering at the University, and excerpts from his speech were played on local radio stations, Dean Terry said. African American students with GPAs within certain ranges are also recognized at the event.

It's odd when one person can eat two entrees and still have room for dessert. But at the Downtown Grille, where the paltry portions do not correspond with the steep prices, we'd have no problem believing that. Nestled in an airy space on the Downtown Mall, the restaurant cooks up usual grille fare served by the bow-tied waitstaff on tables dressed in white linen. The interior features a tall ceiling, wood-paneled walls, columns that house wine bottles and an open kitchen in the back of the restaurant.
