TerpVision 3 Debuts This Weekend

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The University of Maryland is pleased to present the third episode of TerpVision. Hosted by Maryland alumna Bonnie Bernstein '92, TerpVision tells the stories of Maryland's faculty, staff and students and the incredible impact they are having in our communities and in our world. In this episode, TerpVision will tell five compelling stories:

• The pressure is on as four student entrepreneurs competing for $15,000 in start-up funding in Cupid's Cup;
• Students build a human-powered helicopter, tackling one of engineering's most coveted (and lucrative) prizes;
• The care for a UMD landmark, Duke's Tree, by a longtime member of the grounds staff;
• How a UMD architecture professor and student saved a crumbling DC public high school and;
• Mark Turgeon fills some very large shoes as new UMD men's basketball coach.
