Report, Bridge and Currents, amongst others. She also is responsible for
our public image with her oversight of UMD's ads, billboards, banners
and website. Her work on behalf of the campus has won a number of notable
advertising awards.
Beyond the day-to-day work of UMD publications and advertising, Cheryl
regularly serves or volunteers in other areas that reflect well on our
campus. She took the lead with Phi Sigma Sigma on organizing a trip to
help to build a home in post-Katrina New Orleans. She worked with the
