UMUC EUROPE
COMMENCEMENT
4 MAY 2019
In 1949, the University of Maryland University College (UMUC) was the only
pioneering institution to send seven professors to teach military students
in postwar Germany. This deep–rooted tradition of serving the
military in war and peace continues to this day.
This year, we are proud to celebrate our 70th year of delivering higher
education overseas to U.S. military servicemembers and their families,
exemplified through the incredible achievements of our students.CELEBRATING 70 YEARS OVERSEAS
UMUC was founded in 1947 as the College of Special and Continuation
Studies, a branch of the University of Maryland's College of Education,
with locations in College Park and around the state. In 1949, UMUC
became the first university to send faculty overseas to educate
active-duty military personnel in Europe. What started off as a noble
experiment, with seven professors in six cities in Germany, has turned
into a globally-recognized, award-winning institution that includes
graduates from all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and over
20 countries and territories worldwide.
UMUC Europe is proud to be in a continued partnership with the
U.S. government and the state of Maryland to provide quality education
to 14,000 students annually in 17 countries and 50+ locations in Europe,
the Middle East, and North Africa. We are wherever the military is,
whether permanently stationed or deployed. Times have changed since
those first classes in war-torn buildings 70 years ago. Now we deliver
courses both on-site and online using cutting-edge technology, tailored
class schedules for individual military units, and innovative live streaming
formats at many locations.
2More than one million servicemembers have taken UMUC courses.
This long relationship has made the university particularly sensitive to
the needs of the military community and has prepared UMUC to handle
key details, including veterans benefits and the transfer of credit earned
in military specialty schools. By proving that high standards of excellence
can be maintained in nontraditional settings, UMUC has established
itself as an integral part of military life.
Students graduating from UMUC Europe in the Class of 2019 have earned
506 associate degrees, 560 bachelor’s degrees, and 209 master’s degrees.
Graduates represent U.S. military communities across the European,
Central, and Africa Commands, with many having served or currently
serving in war zones. Worldwide over 13,300 graduates will have earned
a UMUC degree this year.
Today, UMUC remains committed to the same unifying mission, offering
a high-quality education that is affordable and accessible, while meeting
critical workforce needs and accommodating the busy lifestyles of adults
in the 21st century and the modern U.S. Armed Forces.
We are honored to celebrate 70 years of providing quality education to
extraordinary students overseas, including those here today who have
achieved an important educational milestone in their lives.

oversees the administration and management
of the university's global operations and
partnerships in more than 20 countries and

SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT
multiple distinguished leadership positions in
GLOBAL MILITARY education, training, strategic policy development,
OPERATIONS operational deployments, and combat. In his last

the largest military organizations in the country,
with approximately 40,000 soldiers and airmen
and 15,000 government civilians and contractors.
His various military assignments have enabled him
to serve in Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East,
and Latin America.
He has commanded at every level from captain
to major general in assignments that included
one of the earliest peacekeeping missions to
the Sinai Desert as a company commander;
a battalion task force on a peace enforcement
mission in Kosovo; combat operations in Iraq
commanding an infantry brigade combat team;
and the international effort to advise, train, and
equip the Iraqi Army.
12General Miles is the fourth soldier to be promoted to general as an
amputee since the Civil War. He is the only amputee general to serve
in either Iraq or Afghanistan and the only one to serve multiple

13UMUC LEADERSHIP
Javier Miyares is president of University of
Maryland University College, the nation's largest
public online university and a constituent
institution of the University System of Maryland.
Since his appointment in 2012, he has expanded
access and opportunities for adult learners
through key initiatives and has been in the
forefront of leveraging “big data” and analytics to
fuel advances in learning science. The university—
JAVIER MIYARES which offers courses online and in a hybrid format
PRESIDENT at more than 20 locations stateside and in more
than 20 countries around the world—has also
UNIVERSITY OF
MARYLAND expanded its corporate and institutional alliances
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE under his leadership.
Mr. Miyares has maintained a singular focus on
quality, access, and affordability for Maryland's
adult learners and members of the U.S. military
around the world. The Maryland Completion
Scholarship enables Maryland community college
graduates to earn a bachelor's degree from
UMUC for a total cost of $20,000—including their
community college tuition. Through a partnership
with Prince George's Community College and
Prince George's County Public Schools, UMUC has
also created the Prince George's 3D Scholarship
pilot program that allows high-achieving students
to earn college credit while still in high school
and ultimately complete a bachelor's degree for
$10,000 or less.
In fall 2015, the university made headlines
when it replaced publisher textbooks with open
educational resources in all undergraduate
courses, a move that saves students millions
of dollars each year. UMUC's Graduate School
followed suit in fall 2016.
14Mr. Miyares has also committed his support to the university's evolving
learning model, which focuses on a personalized learning experience for
students at scale, with greater emphasis on competence and confidence
as students prepare to enter professional positions.
Mr. Miyares worked closely with and received the unanimous approval
of the University System of Maryland Board of Regents in creating a new
business model that serves to keep tuition low and allows for innovative
approaches to fulfilling UMUC's public mission. UMUC Ventures, a
nonprofit supporting organization, now serves as a holding company for
commercial enterprises that will provide the university with additional
revenue streams.
During Mr. Miyares' tenure, UMUC was named 2015 Educator of the Year
by the World Affairs Council of Washington, D.C., and ranked No. 1 by
Military Times among "Best Colleges: Online and Nontraditional Schools"
for 2018. The university's competitive cybersecurity team, the Cyber
Competition Team, won the 2014 Global CyberLympics in Barcelona,
Spain; the 2013 and 2014 Maryland Cyber Challenge; and the inaugural
Cyber DiploHack competition, organized by the prestigious Center for
Strategic and International Studies, in 2015.
Mr. Miyares has often cited higher education as his gateway to the
American Dream. Born in Havana, Cuba, he was taken out of the
country by his Jesuit teachers on July 4, 1961, at age 14, after his
father was imprisoned by Fidel Castro during the Bay of Pigs invasion.
Mr. Miyares later joined Operation Pedro Pan and eventually moved to
Maryland, where he attended the University of Maryland, College Park,
earning bachelor's and master's degrees in sociology. He completed all
the requirements but the dissertation for a doctorate in educational
measurement and statistics.
Mr. Miyares currently serves on the board of directors of the American
Council on Education (ACE); as a commissioner with the Middle States
Commission on Higher Education; on the board of directors of Achieving
the Dream; and on the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans
Advisory Committee on Education.
15UMUC LEADERSHIP
Mr. Tony K. Cho is the vice president and director
of UMUC Europe. Emphasizing service to students,
growth, and leadership, he leads the administrative
and academic operations for faculty and staff at
headquarters and in 17 countries across Europe,
the Middle East, and Africa. He joined the team
in Europe in 2017 from UMUC Asia, where he had
served as the associate vice president and deputy
director.
TONY K. CHO Mr. Cho retired as a colonel after 26 years of service

EUROPE related to North Korea, South Korea, Japan, and
Guam. This followed a variety of command and
staff positions throughout the Middle East, Asia,
South Asia, and Europe, including serving as Senior
Army Fellow and political-military affairs officer at
the State Department.
Mr. Cho’s combat tours include Operation Desert
Storm as an infantry platoon leader, and Operation
Enduring Freedom as the director of operations in
Pakistan. His military awards include the coveted
Combat Infantryman's Badge and the Ranger Tab.
Prior to joining the Army, Mr. Cho was an
aeronautical engineer with Lockheed Martin
Corporation Space Systems, leading a team of
engineers in designing the flight control systems
for the Navy's submarine-launched Trident II
ballistic missile. He also worked on advanced fighter
programs at the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center.

of Illinois. He also holds an MS in Mechanical
Engineering from Stanford University; an MA in East
Asian Studies and an MPA from Harvard University;
and an MA in National Security Studies from the
16 U.S. Army War College.
16Dr. Andrew D. Boone was appointed associate
vice provost for UMUC Europe Academic Affairs
in 2017. As senior academic officer, he provides
leadership for all undergraduate and graduate
programs in Europe. His primary goal is to ensure
students receive quality learning experiences
that provide them with the knowledge, skills, and
abilities required to be competent professionals
and citizens. Passionate about excellence in
teaching, he also directs the management of the
ANDREW D. BOONE faculty corps who teach at over 50 sites across
ASSOCIATE Europe and the Middle East.
VICE PROVOST
ACADEMIC AFFAIRS His thoughtful leadership has shaped the
academic achievements of thousands of
UNIVERSITY OF
MARYLAND
students who have attended UMUC overseas.
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE Beginning his career with the university in 1992,
EUROPE Dr. Boone taught throughout Germany and at
the international campus in Schwäbisch Gmünd.
Further, he held a number of administrative roles
including an appointment as the department
chair for business and economics.
In 2002, Dr. Boone transferred to UMUC Asia,
where he taught in Korea, Iwakuni, and Tokyo.
During his 15 year tenure in Asia, Dr. Boone
assumed a variety of leadership roles such as
academic director for business, management,
and economics; area director for Korea; and two
appointments as associate dean.
Dr. Boone’s classroom acumen is second to
none, having led statistics, math, economics,
and business courses on two continents for
the better part of three decades with UMUC. In

College, the University of Houston, and the
University of North Carolina, Wilmington.
Dr. Boone holds a BS in Economics from the
University of Arizona. Additionally, he earned
an MS and a PhD in Economics from the

17STANLEY J. DRAZEK
TEACHING EXCELLENCE
AWARD
Dr. Stanley J. Drazek (1918–96) joined University of Maryland
University College in 1948, one year after its founding. During more
than 30 years at UMUC, he served successively as faculty member,
director of the Baltimore division, dean, and chancellor.
One of Dr. Drazek’s lifelong interests was excellence in teaching.
He worked hard to recruit exceptional faculty for UMUC, and he
established programs to help teachers reach their full potential in
the classroom. Because Dr. Drazek viewed teaching excellence as
one of the university’s core values, it is fitting that UMUC’s Teaching
Excellence Award is named in his honor.
18Each year, this award is bestowed on faculty members who have
been nominated by their students for their distinguished teaching.
Two faculty members are being recognized today as this year’s
UMUC Europe recipients of the Stanley J. Drazek Teaching
Excellence Award.
192018-2019 STANLEY J. DRAZEK
TEACHING EXCELLENCE AWARD WINNERS
Professor Denise M. DiStefano has been at the
forefront of innovation as changes in technology have
provided unique opportunities in the classroom. While
fully embracing innovative learning, her basic goals
have remained the same for the past 25 years. “At the
end of my time with my students, I want them to have
gained knowledge, proficiency, and interest in the
course subject matter; developed or increased their
curiosity for learning in general; and have practiced
DENISE M. DISTEFANO and honed their analytical reasoning skills,” she stated.
COLLEGIATE “Professor DiStefano was the best instructor I have
PROFESSOR had at UMUC. She is awesome. I looked forward to this
FACULTY COORDINATOR, class every week,” lauded a recent business law student.
BUSINESS AND “She was able to take a subject like law and make it
BEHAVIORAL /
relevant and fun—it was a great learning environment.”
SOCIAL SCIENCES
Since 1998, Professor DiStefano has taught students at
sites in Germany, the United Kingdom, and Italy using
on-site, online, hybrid, and live streaming formats.
Throughout her career, she has made a lasting impact
on thousands of students helping them to understand
complex issues in business, management, and
criminal justice. She also coaches and guides fellow
faculty, having served as an academic coordinator,
faculty peer, and trainer.
The success of her teaching is founded on a solid
strategy. Professor DiStefano explained, “I strive to
offer my students a challenging, engaging, relevant,
and connected learning experience where they are
valued and supported.” Always nurturing her students
to advance, she commented, “I try to make seemingly
difficult and tedious subjects both understandable
and interesting, making the information relatable and
relevant to their lives.”
Previously, Professor DiStefano worked in government
relations offices of Corning and Texas Instruments.
In addition, she served as a law clerk of the U.S. Tax
Court. She earned a BA in Communication and JD from
American University; a BS in Computer Studies from
UMUC; and an LLM from the University of Heidelberg.
20“Professor Martin is a treasure and an instructor
who cares for her students,” stated a recent
biology student. Dr. Theresa Martin’s enthusiasm,
breadth of knowledge, and passion for her subject
is her students' inspiration to learn, and her
encouragement is a key to their success.
The intense understanding she has of her
students is a direct result of her own life’s journey.
Dr. Martin is the daughter of a U.S. Air Force senior
THERESA MARTIN
non-commissioned officer. Both of her parents are
COLLEGIATE also UMUC alumni. She became the spouse of an
ASSISTANT
airman, now retired, who works as a government
PROFESSOR
service civilian in Germany. A mother of three
FACULTY COORDINATOR, children, she completed her degrees during the
NATURAL SCIENCES
family’s time in the military.
Dr. Martin intimately knows the challenges that
UMUC students face, having walked in their shoes.
“I know that my success as a student was because
of my family, my goals, and the caring faculty that
I met along my journey,” she stated. “Knowing
that my students face the same challenges I did—
working, deployments, functioning as a single
parent, managing a household, and working on
an education—I know that I can help them.”
Her teaching philosophy consists of two
components: assisting her students to become
critical thinkers able to evaluate their educational,
professional, and personal pursuits, and the belief
that her students are capable of achieving their
academic goals. “The best part of my teaching
experience is the moment when former students
reach their goals, such as achieving a degree.
That is such an amazing moment for them and it
is a privilege that I get to be part of their journey.”
Dr. Martin holds a BS in Environmental Studies–
Life Science and an MS in Biology from the
University of Nebraska at Omaha. She recently
earned a Doctor of Management from UMUC.
21WILLIAM C. BENTLEY
MEMORIAL AWARD
The William C. Bentley Memorial Award was established in 1983
and is presented each year in honor of Colonel William C. Bentley,
the first student to earn a University of Maryland University College
degree through study in Europe. In addition to being the first
Europe campus graduate, Colonel Bentley played a key role in
bringing UMUC to Europe. The award is presented annually to
the UMUC Europe baccalaureate graduate with the highest
cumulative grade point average.
222018-2019 WILLIAM C. BENTLEY MEMORIAL AWARD RECIPIENT
"Everyone is different, so each person has to look
within themselves honestly and embrace their own
unique characteristics,” states Mrs. Nicole Sewell, this
year’s William C. Bentley Memorial Award recipient.
Graduating with a 4.0 grade point average at the age
of 52, Mrs. Sewell is an example that you are never
too old to pursue your dreams.
Starting more than 35 years ago, taking a course at
UMUC was her third attempt to begin college, but it
NICOLE SEWELL was her first time to complete a course. "Unfortunate
life circumstances" ended the first two attempts, but
this time Mrs. Sewell said "the planets aligned" and
she found herself with all of the components she
felt were necessary for a successful college career:
financial support, emotional support, and time.
Initially she planned to pursue an associate degree
in German. However, UMUC German Professor Molly
Affleck, now retired, reignited her love of learning and
sparked her desire to achieve broader goals. Finding
she was not always the oldest student in the classroom
also gave her the courage to expand earlier tentative
ambitions. She chose to major in English because of
her passion for literature and languages.
Mrs. Sewell credits her husband, a retired U.S. Army
reservist who proudly served in two deployments
and now works as a contractor in Germany, as her
strongest supporter. His emotional support included
"eating countless frozen pizzas when I lacked the
time to cook, attending many social events solo while
I studied, and always being my biggest cheerleader."
Additionally, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits he earned
during his military service provided necessary
financial support for Mrs. Sewell to achieve her
academic goals.
Working more than one job at a time, Mrs. Sewell
learned work ethic and prioritization skills that
prepared her for college. Asked what advice she
would offer others, she stated, “Everyone has it
within themselves to achieve their goals, but goals
23
also require a lot of hard work and perseverance."

41BACHELOR'S DEGREE GRADUATES
HONORS CANDIDATES
ACADEMIC HONORS for excellence in scholarship are determined
from the cumulative grade point averages of undergraduate
baccalaureate students who have completed 30 or more credits
with University of Maryland University College. Students may earn
the distinctions of cum laude, magna cum laude, and summa cum laude,
to signify graduation with honor, high honor, and highest honor,
respectively. Sometimes called graduation honors, these traditional
academic designations are awarded at the time a baccalaureate
degree is conferred.
The distinction of cum laude honors is conferred on those students
with a cumulative grade point average of 3.8 to 3.9, magna cum laude
is conferred on those students with a grade point average of 3.901
to 3.999, and summa cum laude is conferred on those students with
a grade point average of 4.0.
Students who have earned these honors wear cords as part of their
academic regalia for the commencement ceremony: white cords
indicate cum laude honors, blue cords indicate magna cum laude,
and gold cords indicate summa cum laude.
UMUC is proud to recognize all honors candidates for the
Class of 2019.
Summa Cum Laude Magna Cum Laude Cum Laude
As final action cannot always be taken by the time this program
is printed, the list of honors and May candidates is tentative.
University of Maryland University College reserves the right to add
and withdraw names once all final grade point averages have been
calculated.
