Cornerstone Grill & Loft may not serve alcohol for 90 days beginning Friday — the day before Halloween — after the Prince George’s County Board of License Commissioners suspended its liquor license last week.

The establishment will also be required to pay a $7,500 fine along with the suspension, according to a Monday email from Terence Sheppard, the board’s director. The board suspended the license after finding the establishment had presented a “Threat to the Peace and Safety,” based on video evidence and testimony from four University of Maryland police officers.

Cornerstone’s attorney has asked the board to temporarily pause the decision for 90 days, allowing the establishment time to appeal the charges and file a petition for judicial review, according to Sheppard. The board will hold a meeting on Tuesday, where it will consider the restaurant and bar’s request. But Sheppard noted this request only delays punishment and is separate from the board’s underlying decision.

Cornerstone owner Mark Srour declined to comment on Monday amid the ongoing board proceedings.

The board may suspend a liquor license for “the commission of any act by the licensee, his/her agents or employees that constitutes a danger to the peace and safety of the neighborhood,” according to county regulations. The board first addressed the charges during meetings on Sept. 9 and again on Oct. 14, according to county documents.

I did not see this mentioned here yet.

It is an upsetting story to me.

Do any current students or faculty or staff know anything about this which they are able to share?

My roommate had mentioned he may not come back to umd after winter break. What is the process for a new roommate? Is it randomly assigned?

Just as the title says. This petition comes from UMD Climate Action Campaign, a student organization with national non-profit backing. We are planning on meeting with federal and state legislators and electeds at the end of the semester. Previous efforts have told us that if we don't have at least 250 petition signatures (.5% of our undergrad population), that we will not be taken seriously. We're bumping that to 300 in case of any bad signatures. Please sign if you would like to help us push for federal action against the climate crisis!

Hi,

I am the boyfriend of a current undergrad PHP student and current med school applicant. I just came on here to apologize and state it is stupid as hell that you guys have to secure a FORTY (40) hour a week internship just to GRADUATE, knowing how difficult the job market/internship market is for undergrads right now.

Then if they secure an internship, and it’s only 20hours a week (like MOST public health internships are) they have to secure ANOTHER for 40 hours a week.

This is the supuesto degree requirement ever and I hate seeing all you guys struggle with it.

Apparently, my CMSC 420 Professor is also a Film maker and has 3 films on her IMBD page. I dont know why but this is incredibly funny to me. Not to say anything bad though. Her films are pretty well regarded apparently. Its just the concept of a CS professor who is on the theoretical side of comp sci making films is kinda mind-blowing considering the time and dedication required for films.

I don't know if this is helpful, but if you get to the lot by 9 am at the latest, there are still some parking spots left.

Hey everyone! I graduated from UMD CMNS in 2018. I originally planned to go straight into a doctoral program. Unfortunately, life ended up kicking my ass a bit in my senior year with multiple family deaths in the span of a few months. I hit a brick wall emotionally and mentally in my last two semesters. I pulled myself together just enough to finish my degree on time. However, I lost all love for the field and had no desire to do research in it. Ironically, DOGE cuts have seriously gutted that field in the last year or so. So who knows what kind of position I'd be in if I followed my original plan?

Since then, I've spent the last 7-8 years in a dead-end job completely unrelated to my degree. I'm desperate for a change and want to go back to school. Right now, I'm narrowing it down to two fields, one of which is civil engineering.

I strongly considered civil engineering in high school while preparing for college apps. I ended up choosing my CMNS major instead, which I low-key regret now that I'm 30.

My degree required three semesters of physics, three semesters of calculus, and one semester of differential equations, which overlapped with a lot of the engineering requirements. The problem is that I've been so far removed from this kind of work that it feels like starting from scratch.

Any suggestions on what to expect when reapplying to UMD? I'm almost 100% certain I'll need to start with another bachelor's degree in CE to shore up the fundamentals and pivot to engineering rather than going straight into a master's program. My concern is whether any of my original degree credits (such as Gen-Eds and STEM credits) will transfer to a new bachelor's degree.

hiiii i’m in intermediate accounting one and im looking for some people to study with! I’m a transfer from Howard community college so I have yet to really meet alot of people yet. After this cash and receivables exam I just had 😣 I definitely need someone to study with 😅

odd question but does anyone have any idea where I can get a shitload of cardboard from .? I need it for an art project.! thanks

This is a personal project I started working on over the summer. As a transfer student, it was hard and intimidating to make friends and talk to people in class, so this idea came about. I figure it could be useful to new students or anyone just looking to meet people or to just get out more. I put some pictures of what the app looks like, feel free to share it around and try it out!

Hi everyone!

I'm an HCI master's student, and I recently launched an app called Mingle!

As someone from South Korea, I found it challenging to meet new people from different departments and connect with students outside my usual circle. I also got tired of constantly asking my friends about their schedules just to figure out when we could hang out.

With Mingle, you can:

• 📅 Share your schedules with friends
• 📍 Share your location with friends
• 💬 Connect with friends and use the community board

The app is completely free to use! I'm still working on improving it, and I plan to add more features in the future.

I'd really appreciate it if you gave it a try and shared any feedback, bugs, or suggestions. I'm especially interested in hearing what works, what doesn't, and what features you'd like to see!

Nothing on planetterp so wanted to ask here in case someone has taken something w/ him.

Dm me for questions and specific details since it's an idea currently in the works..

Both are asynchronous. I understand both are high workload and challenging, especially over a 3 week period, but which one is less work heavy? Which one is easier to get a good grade in?

Hey! I'm a 30+ M international grad student at UMD, and I'm planning to check out the 17th Street High Heel Race in DC on Tuesday evening (Oct 27).

Apparently it's quite a spectacle and a longstanding DC Halloween tradition, so I figured it'd be a fun and uniquely DC experience. Thought it could also be a nice opportunity to meet a fellow Terp!

We can meet at the Metro station and head there together. Let me know if you're interested.

I know they need your college transcript if you've done dual enrollment. But on the website they say you can't email them. The college I'm trying to get my transcripts from is asking for an email to send it to for UMD. But UMD only accepts like different platforms like "Parchment, SCOIR, ..." etc. What do I do??

I want to go to UMD for aerospace engineering and I want to know my chances.
I have a 102.26 weighted gpa(Don’t know what it is on a 4 point scale if someone knows how to convert to 4 point scale that would be awesome) 96-97ish unweighted.
11 total ap classes 7 before senior year
Calc AB(5), Precalc(5), Lang(4), Physics C(3), Seminar(3), APUSH(4), Comp Science Principles(4) all before senior year. Taking AP Bio, Research, Human Geo, and Calc BC senior year.

School wide math award, stem diploma endorsement, ap scholar with distinction, ap capstone(in progress will have at end of year), and all academic for my athletic conference.

ECs I have been varsity XC for 4 years captain for one, frisbee varsity all 4 years and captain for 3 with a state championship, math team for 4 years captain for 3, NHS, various jobs, and volunteering at a frisbee camp one year.

All As except honors English freshmen year(92) and AP physics c(88) junior year

I got a 97 on calc ab and have a 100 in Calc bc right now

I do very well in my math classes but I am worried my lowest grade is in ap physics C (88) the class is very hard and that was around the average for my class but it still is a red flag. I am getting a rec letter from my physics teacher though.

I am out of state(Maine) and I am applying test optional for SAT and only submitting 4s and 5s for aps

What do you think my chances are for aerospace and be honest. Thanks!

I'm pre-med that's very behind on clinical hours and need an MA job. Does anyone know of any areas where they would offer a MA position to a student with no MA certification in the Greenbelt, Lanham, Bowie, area? I've called and emailed a bunch of places, but I haven't gotten any hope. Really need something even if it's unpaid at this point.

Looks like their having “dorm wars”

I’m applying Early Action/Decision
3.94 UW/5.23 W GPA
My rank is 25/250 students
1350 SAT but I’m going test optional

Taking 12 classes my senior year (4 of them AP Physics C, AP Calculus AB, AP Statistics, AP English. Another 4 are dual enrollment at CCBC (Basically classes I need to take to graduate like history and PhysEd but at ccbc so I can make space for the AP classes. One of my college classes is an introductory course to computer science though). I have 8 AP classes in total.

Essay is about tuning headphones and how I spent 14 nights trying to close the gap between data and human experience. Teacher said essay is amazing and she loved it.

I play varsity sports all three seasons, was a captain during my time on JV football and currently a captain on my wrestling team. Wrestled at my regionals and qualified for states.

Also a member on my principals cabinet and was an information officer on my student council. Part of my schools national math honors society and also a club called math homework helpers where I basically help students struggling with math with their homework and help them study for their test. Im part of my schools coding club as well. I’m also an AVID Tutor for an AP Precalculus class. I also tune headphones and research about audio engineering/audio equipment as a hobby in my free time.

I just got back from a walk through umd campus, obviously there was a lot of people and I’ve noticed something. Whenever I’m walking towards a female and I maintain eye contact they avoid looking at me but when I’m not looking at them and then I look at them I catch them looking at me. I’m a 22 year old single male, sometimes the females I see are attractive but I have this issue of them not making eye contact but when I’m not looking at them and I take a glance at them I catch them looking. Does this happen to anyone else or am I the only one experiencing this?

Hi, my friend and I are starting a book club for any cool people who are interested in making friends and having authentic discussions.

Our first book will be Metamorphosis and we are going to meet on Tuesday nights at 8:00 PM in the Centreville Hall basement. If that location doesn't work then I guess the club will meet outside.

First meeting will be this coming Tuesday so prepare yourselves. We will wait outside the back of Centreville (the side facing lot PH1) and let you in.
