Speaker Biographies
Growing up in suburban New Jersey, Luke
Teresi thought that someday he would be a
doctor. College was expected for him and his
predominantly white, upper-middle-class high
school peers, and the challenges of politics
and poverty seemed distant.
But as he grew and matured at the
University of Maryland—and started grap-
pling with his identity as the son of a teenage
South Korean woman adopted in his infancy
from an orphanage by Italian Americans—
Teresi began to see a whole different world
of challenges for people born into circum-
stances outside their control.
“I’m fortunate enough to have a family
that adopted me,” he says. “Because of that,
I had opportunities that people with less
money don’t have.”
Graduating with a degree in psychology
and a 3.84 GPA, Teresi is applying to law
school and hopes to one day enter elected
politics. He wants to focus on issues such as
economic development, affordable housing
and access to education, examining how and
why racism can be embedded in the building
blocks of opportunity, and give back to his
community by helping to enact legislation
that protects equal rights.
“I honestly never thought I would be on a
track for politics. How is one opinion going to
matter?” he says. “But I can be a person who
legitimately makes a difference.”
A founder of the UMD chapter of the Sigma
Tau Gamma social fraternity, Teresi was also a
member of the Multi-Ethnic Student Education
Academic Excellence Society and the Psi Chi
Psychology National Honor Society.
His proudest accomplishment, however,
was co-founding the Cross-Cultural Adoptees
Organization, for students who have been
adopted across races and cultures. The group
was a critical support for Teresi as he delved
into his own identities and the assumptions
people can make about someone based on
appearances—and what society considers a
“true” American.
“That was really the first time my eyes
were opened to an identity crisis I didn’t even
know I was going through,” he says. “If people
can unite behind the fact that everyone is dif-
ferent, that could be a great step in the right
direction.”

Dominique Dawes is best known for her tre-
mendous success as a gymnast, competing
and winning team medals in three Olympic
games, becoming the only American gym-
nast to do so, and earning a permanent place
in the U.S. Olympic Committee Hall of Fame.
Dawes, a 2002 graduate of the University
of Maryland, is remembered by fans around
the world as part of the gold medal-winning
“Magnificent Seven” at the 1996 Atlanta
Games, where she also won a bronze medal
in the floor exercise—the first female African
American gymnast to win an individual
medal. She earned a bronze medal with the
U.S. team in the 1992 Barcelona Games and
made a surprising comeback in the 2000
Sydney Games, for which she and her team-
mates were awarded bronze medals by the
International Olympic Committee in 2010.
Dawes, who began gymnastics at the
age of 6, was one of the first female African
American gymnasts to compete and qualify
for the Olympics. A winner of numerous
world championship medals, she has more
national championship medals than any
other athlete, male or female, since 1963,
sweeping all four events and the all-around
title in 1994. The only other gymnast to have
completed this feat was Simone Biles in 2019.
After retiring from the sport, Dawes
became a motivational speaker and has
addressed hundreds of thousands of people
on passion, leadership, teamwork, health,
fitness and wellness. She spent time on
Broadway performing in the musical “Grease,”
was the first national spokesperson for the
Girl Scouts of the USA, served as president of
the Women’s Sports Foundation, and covered
Olympic games as an analyst and broad-
caster for Yahoo! Sports and Fox Sports.
Dawes was co-chair of the President’s
Council on Sports Fitness and Nutrition
during President Barack Obama’s adminis-
tration and worked closely with First Lady
Michelle Obama on her “Let’s Move” initiative.
Now the owner of the Dominique Dawes
Gymnastics & Ninja Academy in Montgomery
County, Md., Dawes is committed to providing
a positive and compassionate culture for
young athletes and ensuring every child is
accepted and valued, regardless of their skill
level. She is a married mother of four young
and active children and is passing her love
for life and sport onto them.

Doctoral DegreesThe doctoral degree is the most advanced earned degree conferred by American institutions. There
are two distinct types: the practitioner’s degree and the research degree. The first type represents
advanced training for the practice of various professions, principally doctor of audiology, doctor
of medicine, juris doctor, doctor of pharmacy and doctor of veterinary medicine. These degrees do
not involve the completion of original research by the student. The University of Maryland, at the
professional school in Baltimore, awarded the first two dental degrees on March 9, 1841.

Master’s DegreesThe master’s degree is an academic honor bestowed upon students who have successfully completed work
beyond the baccalaureate. A thesis and an oral examination are usually required. In 1920, the University of
Maryland awarded its first Master of Arts and Master of Science degrees in fields other than agriculture.

The December 2020 class roster comprises degree candidates from the graduate and undergraduate programs at the University of Maryland, College Park. As final action cannot always be taken for candidates by the time this program is printed, the list of candidates here is tentative. The university reserves the right to withdraw or add names. Diplomas (for other than doctoral degrees) will be mailed by the Office of the Registrar.
