Make the time at UA worth every second BY DAILY WILDCAT OPINIONS BOARDS @DailyWildcat
T
he final grades are in, graduation caps are decorated and the job hunt has already begun. In some ways, it seems like college just started, but for thousands of University of Arizona students, that journey is finally coming to a close. When the dust has settled, the tears have flowed and the celebrations quiet down, many will ask themselves the big questions: Was it worth it, and what now? To answer the first, in nearly every circumstance, yes — it was worth it. The long nights, the stressful study periods, the boring lectures, that annoying neighbor or roommate, the crappy job — every second of the college experience adds up to something that won’t be repeated, for better or worse, ever again. Soak it all in one last time, before the moment is gone forever. Enjoy this hard-fought victory, and don’t let anyone trivialize it. While each student has a unique experience, no one walking across that stage is doing so without having faced some struggles, some adversity and having fought through it anyway to come out the other side stronger, wiser, more prepared for what life will throw next. Studies and statistics abound at the earning potential of those with advanced degrees versus those without, but the value of your time spent on campus can’t be measured just in dollars and cents. Many won’t realize the true worth of the time spent here until years later, possibly when raising a family of their own or while working to survive and looking back at the good old days through rose-colored glasses. Which leads to the second question: What next? For some, that query has burned in their minds since they started taking classes, crafting a study plan that would hone their skills for their dream job. For many others, the degree they followed had more to do with personal interest than career prospects, and now that the time has come to enter the “real world,” there may be some
“
apprehension or doubt creeping in. Don’t panic. Remember that, by simple virtue of being a college graduate, you have shown you have what it takes to survive a grueling workload and can commit to something for several years, until completion. These are the skills and attributes employers want, regardless of your field of study. You don’t have to be the smartest or have the highest GPA to find success after school. Potential bosses want to see dedication, passion and willingness to learn just as much as they want to see fancy awards or bloated resumes. Also, be careful not to get stuck in a job that squanders your potential, or that fills your wallet but drains your soul. You have fought for too long, through too much, to let that happen. College may be one of the best times of life, but it doesn’t have to be all downhill from here. Keep that idealism you had when you first walked on campus alive inside you; let it guide you; protect it from those that would try to extinguish the light that drives you. For those reading that haven’t made it to the top of the mountain yet, remember your goals and continue working to get there. You are closer than you might think, whether you have one semester under your belt, or only one left to go. Don’t stop now. For the parents, professors and everyone else at the UA who have supported a graduate or helped make their dreams a reality, take the chance to reflect on what you do, give yourself the credit you deserve and be ready to keep being there when needed. Was it easy? No. Most good things in life aren’t. Was it worth it? Yes. Now go out and prove that you are worth it, too.

FAREWELL FROM PRESIDENT ROBBINS
SIMON ASHER | THE DAILY WILDCAT
UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA PRESIDENT Dr. Robert Robbins talks with Arizona Athletics staff during the UA-NAU football season opener on Sept. 2.
Graduates are still part of university GUEST LETTER
FROM ROBERT ROBBINS
D
ear Wildcats, At lunch in the Union on my first day, on my first visit to the University of Arizona’s programs in Yuma and my tours of each college, I have met outstanding students all year long. Thank you all for the very warm welcome you have given me since I began as UA president in June. I am looking forward to closing out this first year by giving our graduates a send-off that makes them as proud to be Wildcats as I felt when I was first welcomed here. To our students who will graduate this week: You are poised to do amazing things. Nine out of 10 UA graduates agree that their education was worth it, and 92 percent
of employers tell us that UA graduates are ready for the workforce from day one. This is because we pride ourselves on giving our students all the tools they need to succeed throughout their careers and to be lifelong learners and innovative thinkers. Whether it’s one job that’s been your dream your whole life or the 12 to 15 jobs over the course of your life, you’ve been prepared for excellence. I also want you to know that being part of the UA doesn’t end here. We expect you to stay a part of our family, even as you’re out in the world doing incredible things. Stay connected to the UA and you will have a lifelong community of friends, supporters and fellow alumni. Congratulations, and Bear Down! — Robert C. Robbins President University of Arizona
FAREWELL FROM STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT
Things we’ve done; things we’ll do GUEST LETTER FROM MATT LUBISICH
D
ear Wildcat Community, May 1 was my last day serving as your Student Body President. Through this incredible experience, I have had the opportunity to meet some of the most impressive and passionate students in the country. Their work at the University of Arizona inspired me to put everything I had into this position. Last year, I campaigned on the platform that every student’s voice matters. During my term, I focused on turning your voices into meaningful actions. It wasn’t easy, but the past year has shown what we are capable of when we put our voices together. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge just some of the outstanding accomplishments we as students have achieved: • Established the first private scholarship for DACA Recipients in the State of Arizona (Immigrant Student Resource Center) • Immediate investment for 12 new mental health counselors in our Counseling and Psych Services Center (ASUA Executive Team) • Immediate investment for eight new financial aid counselors and upgrade to financial aide processing technology (ASUA Executive Team) • Tackled food insecurity on campus by opening a second distribution day and creating a long-term plan so no student will go hungry (Campus Pantry) • Successfully advocated for the lowering of the ZonaZoo pass cost
so more students will be able to attend athletic events (ZonaZoo) • Increased permanent funding for our cultural centers on campus (Marginalized Students of The University of Arizona and cultural center advocacy) • Continued the “I Will” Campaign: a student led initiative to bring awareness of sexual assault to campus • Worked with the Disability Resource Center to ensure that a portion of deferred maintenance spending be allocated toward disability access to university buildings • Changed the conversation regarding sustainability on campus and laid the foundation for a university-wide Students for Sustainability • Open Source Textbooks: Encouraged faculty to offer course textbooks online save students financial costs • Set a Guinness World Record in McKale Center for most Valentines donated • Worked with the provost, faculty and staff to implement cultural competency training that will allow professors to be more inclusive in the classroom • Allocated over $250,000 to clubs and organizations to help them be successful in their endeavors • And much, much more! It was the honor of a lifetime representing our diverse Wildcat community. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for an exceptional year. I have no doubt that a bright future awaits every single one of us and that the next generation of Wildcats will enter a better university thanks to your accomplishments. Bear Down, — Matt Lubisich Student Body President ‘17– ‘18

Many Arizona student athletes stepped onto their respective courts, fields and grass for the last time this year; now it’s time to review a few of their careers as Wildcats

uring his time in Tucson, Parker Jackson-Cartwright established himself as one of the most dependable point guards in the Pac-12. Finishing his career with 110 wins, which is second in Arizona history, displays the underrated nature of P.J.C.’s career as a Wildcat to the fullest. The 5-foot-11 guard improved each year, finally taking over the reins as a starter his senior year. He led the Wildcats to a regular season Pac-12 Championship, while also helping Arizona in big moments down the stretch to bring home the Pac-12 Tournament trophy as well, which just so happened to be his third, for both. Jackson-Cartwright also finished his career in the top 10 of assists in Arizona history, which places his name among others such as Mike Bibby, Jason Terry, Damon Stoudamire and T.J. McConnell — not a bad group to be associated with at Point Guard U.

usan Ristic leaves Tucson, besting all as the winningest player to ever put on an Arizona uniform, with 115 wins. The 7-footer from Serbia was a steady presence in his last two years, where he was the starting center. Ristic improved year after year, while playing alongside other current and future NBA big men, Lauri Markkanen and Deandre Ayton, during both of their brief stints as Wildcats. Ristic was part of a dominant stretch for Arizona basketball, helping win three regular season conference championships, while also winning three conference tournaments. Ristic left an endearing mark on the McKale Center faithful when he took off his jersey as he checked out of the game for the last time. The t-shirt underneath read “Thank You Arizona” and “Dusan Loves Tucson,” which will go down as one of the most memorable senior day moments in recent memory.
F
ormer running back Nick Wilson looked to be a budding star in his freshman year at Arizona, racking up 1,375 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns. However, a combination of foot, shoulder and knee injuries plagued Wilson over the next three years, and he was never able to see the field consistently as a result. Wilson ended his career at Arizona with 3,045 career yards, becoming the seventh player in school history to eclipse the 3,000-yard mark. In his senior year, Wilson started 10 of the 11 games he played in. Wilson was signed by the Chicago Bears after the NFL Draft in April as an undrafted free agent and will compete for the third string running back position.

potlight senior Olivia Macdonald had the biggest impact on the team out of all the current seniors. This season, Macdonald and her partner, Natalie Anselmo, posted some impressive victories against Washington, New Mexico and Cal. But Macdonald’s impact goes beyond her work done this past season. As a freshman, she posted a 13-1 record and had wins against Arizona State, Cal Poly and TCU, among other programs, with her ex-partner and current assistant coach Emily Kiser. As a sophomore, Macdonald posted a 16-8 record and played in the No. 3 position with Sam Manley. That year, she defeated schools such as LMU, Colorado Mesa and Cal to name a few. In addition, she received honorable mention on the Pac-12 All-Academic Team. Last year, as a junior, Macdonald and her ex-partner, Olivia Hallaran, competed in the No. 2 position. Macdonald posted a 15-13 season record, earning victories against Stanford, Washington, No. 1 USC and No. 6 LSU. Now that Macdonald’s Arizona beach volleyball career is over, she plans to head over to Italy to compete in a pro circuit. She will travel along the Italian coast and compete in a series of beach volleyball matches with the hopes of competing in the Olympics one day.

efore being Arizona’s leadoff hitter and center fielder, Stevenson began his college career at Nevada in 2015 playing for current Arizona head coach Jay Johnson. He played in every game and had a .359 BA and was named the Mountain West co-freshman of the year. When he came to Arizona, he made an immediate impact. He had a .311 BA and led the conference in runs scored (61) and walks (48) on his way to an All-Pac-12 Honorable Mentions selection. In 2016, he was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 36th round of the MLB Draft.
his season, senior Hailey Devlin mainly competed for the No. 3 team with her partner and senior Stephany Purdue. Devlin posted some very impressive wins this season against teams such as Washington, TCU, Cal Poly and Stanford. Just like Macdonald, Devlin’s impact goes above and beyond her work during this past year, and she was a key leader for the team. As a freshman, Devlin posted a 20-6 record with crucial wins against Arizona State, Cal Poly, LSU and Oregon. In her first year, Devlin was coming off an impressive four years during her high school career, where she played for the USA Junior National Beach Team. During her sophomore year, Devlin posted an impressive 20-5 record. That year, she played on the No. 5 team with Mackenzie Kleespies. Throughout the year, she defeated pairs from UCLA, Pepperdine, USC and LSU to name a few. She also earned second-team honors on the Pac-12 All-Academic Team and helped her team by competing in the first ever NCAA Championships. Last year, as a junior, Devlin posted an 18-9 record and played for the No. 3 and No. 4 teams with Sam Manley. That year, Devlin had an eight-match win streak, including victories against programs such as USC, LSU, TCU and Long Beach State.

As a freshman, Hughes earned the starting job in center field late in the season. However, as a sophomore, Hughes started 52 games at second base. Hughes filled in at second base this year when Reyna Carranco was on the bench with a concussion and facial structure. She played right field primarily as a junior, and her journey came full circle as a senior, starting in center field once again. Hughes earned a trio of honors after her first three seasons at Arizona. In her sophomore year, she was given a Pac-12 AllAcademic honorable mention. In her junior year, she was named to the All-Pac-12 Second-team and named All-Region in the NCAA Tournament.
M
edel’s college career started back in 2014 as he redshirted for the TCU Horned Frogs. He then transferred to Arizona in 2015 and was a member of the starting rotation. He was 1-3 with a 5.40 ERA and was moved to the bullpen. His last two seasons, he has been coming out of the bullpen and has been a different pitcher than he was as a starter. He had a 2.96 ERA in 15 appearances in 2017. Medel dabbles in broadcasting UA Athletics and has been a fixture on social media for the school, most notably for lip-sync battles.

FORMER U.S. SECRETARY OF the Navy Ray Mabus is the guest speaker for this year’s commencement.
Navy secretary keynote at 2018 commencement BY RANDALL ECK @Reck999
The University of Arizona will graduate its 154th class at its May 11 commencement. The keynote speaker who will send the thousands of graduates into the world will be Ray Mabus, former governor of Mississippi, U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia and President Barack Obama’s secretary of the Navy. “Our graduates complete their degrees ready to make transformational impact in our world, and Ray Mabus is an ideal person to give them an opportunity to reflect on what that potential means,” said UA President Dr. Robert Robbins. “He has an impeccable record of service and leadership, and I know he will inspire the Class of 2018 to do great things.” After growing up the son of a local hardware store owner in a Mississippi town of 1,000 people, Mabus graduated from the University of Mississippi in 1969, a time before commencement speakers were the norm for college graduations. Before attending college, Mabus had a life that was not characteristic of a child of rural Mississippi. According to Mabus, his parents encouraged him to lead a life in which he saw no limitations. “My parents had this insatiable curiosity about the world, and they revered education,” Mabus said. Before he graduated college, Mabus traveled the TransSiberian Railway and witnessed an uprising against the Shah in Iran. This travel with his parents opened up the world for him. Mabus’ college experience, filled with professors who really cared about his success, left him optimistic about his future as he sat — some 49 years ago — in the same shoes as UA graduates this May. “I was optimistic, energetic and pretty eager to see what was going to come next after I graduated,” Mabus said. “I did not have a plan. I was just eager to see what was going to happen. I didn’t see any limitations.” Mabus’s path landed him in 25 years of public service, first as the auditor for the State of Mississippi, where Mabus earned a reputation battling corruption. Then, with the help of his reputation, he was in the governor’s mansion a few years later. As governor, Mabus focused on education and job creation, passing legislation to give teachers the largest pay raise in the country. Mabus’s commitment to public service was solidified by the advice his father gave him as a child. “The one hero I ever had in my life has been my dad,” Mabus said. “My father had a strong notion that you needed to serve and give back to the community, state, nation in some way.” Mabus took this to heart by staying honest in his years of public service and answering both President Bill Clinton’s and President Obama’s call to service as ambassador to Saudi Arabia and secretary of the navy, respectively. According to Mabus, there are many ways to serve your community beyond joining the military or becoming a politician. He hopes UA’s graduates walk away from his speech taking his father’s advice to heart and give back to their communities throughout their lives. “The whole theme of my speech is doing something in your life that is bigger than yourself,” Mabus said. Mabus’s speech will have two other major themes as well: the importance of a college education and how success cannot always be measured in the short term. In this ever-changing, complex world, a college education is critical, according to Mabus. When students walk away with a degree from the UA, it is not the skills or facts students learn that matter most. Rather, it’s how students approach problems, accept or challenge new ideas and are flexible and adaptable to this changing world, Mabus said. Alongside this, Mabus cautioned, even as UA graduates walk away with a degree from an amazing university, students must continue to be lifelong learners. For Mabus, the most rewarding experiences of his life were when he was given the opportunity to continue to learn, and not always those where he saw immediate success. “The things that have given me the most satisfaction are the long-term things,” Mabus said. According to Mabus, if you are lucky, you will be able to see the impact of your actions immediately. But for him, his biggest accomplishments, like pushing the Navy to reduce its fossil fuel emissions and funding education in Mississippi, are focused on long-term goals. Even today, Mabus’s company, The Mabus Group, helps advise other companies, like Google, on sustainability and resiliency in the modern, technological world. Mabus remains just as optimistic and eager about what the future will bring as he was when he graduated college. According to Mabus, UA graduates are the future leaders of this country. No one knows what the world will look like in 20 years. UA graduates are in the same position Mabus faced so many years ago, but Mabus is confident in their ability to lead us into this unknown future. “Having known many of these young people, whether my daughters or sailors and Marines around the world, if you meet the people who are 18 to 27 today, it is hard not to be optimistic about the future,” Mabus said. The UA is an iconic university in Mabus’s mind, and he is honored and excited to speak to this year’s graduates and to explore Tucson after his speech. “I was incredibly honored and thrilled to be asked to be the commencement speaker,” Mabus said.

GRADUATE SPOTLIGHT
SBS places humanitarian above others Dino Kadich, who was granted the College of Social Behavioral Sciences Outstanding Senior Award, is not only a 4.0 student, he also participates in Model U.N. and works at Tucson’s Jewish History Museum BY MEKAYLA PHAN @DailyWildcat
With the semester winding down, senior Dino Kadich has been roaming around campus feeling nostalgic lately. Coming to America as a young immigrant, Tucson became his home. He thinks about his community full of friends that he will soon have to leave behind when he begins the next chapter in his life in a different place. Kadich will be leaving Tucson this fall to pursue a Ph.D. in Geography at Cambridge University. “I am going to miss so much,” he said. “I’ve lived in Tucson for a long time, and I’ve come to appreciate 360 days of sun, which will not be the case when I come to England.” Kadich, a geography development and Africana studies double major with a minor in North Eastern and North African studies, has recently been chosen by the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences as the spring semester Outstanding Senior Award in light of his numerous achievements. SBS Associate Dean and facilitator of the award’s selection process Amy Kimme Hea said, “It is certainly incumbent of the college to celebrate, as well as elevate, the success of our students.” Outstanding Senior Awards are given to one student every semester from each college. In the SBS College, a committee of faculty members are set up to review nominations from 17 different divisions. “These awards don’t create the success for the students, but acknowledge the success that the student themselves have created,” Kimme Hea said. This year’s judges were School of Geography and Development Director Lynn Straeheli, SBS Assistant Direrctor Allison Ewing-Cooper and communication associate professor Kyle Tusing. Ricky Salazar, SBS associate director, provided review for two awards as Straeheli recused herself by
nominating Kadich. “He is just a tremendous person,” Straeheli said, noting the 18 months she spent working with Kadich. “I’m not sure if I’ve had a student like this in 30 years that I have been teaching undergraduates.” Kadich’s many achievements include managing a 4.0 GPA, being a UA Magellan Circle Scholar, a 2017 Beinecke Scholar and receiving the Gates Cambridge Fellowship — an award that had 55 recipecents out of 6,000 applicants. Born in Italy after his parents left Bosnia and Herzegovina to escape war, Kadich came to the United States with his family in 1997 as a young refugee. In his honors thesis, Kadich took great initiative in his independent research on youth politics in Bosnia and Herzegovina. According to Kadich, one of his greatest achievements of all is being involved with Arizona Model United Nations, not because of the many travel opportunities but of the impact he felt he made on high school students. “The experience of bringing different people together to talk about political issues is really rewarding,” Kadich said. He said the work was similar to his current job giving tours at the Jewish History Museum, translating his research and impacting young children. “He has done a lot of service for the University of Arizona and the community — service that is about trying to build a more inclusive society and community,” Straheli said. “If you think about what he has done, it hits every marker of what we want of an Outstanding Student.” Kadich was equally appreciative in his praise back to Straheli. “She has been pivotal in everything I have done,” Kadich said on having Straheli as his adviser. “I’ve been so lucky to work with her because her style is a good mix of toughness and helps in pushing me to do my best.” Though he has faced challenges being an immigrant and

first-generation college student, Kadich said he feels like everything kind of “fell on his lap.” “Every important or impactful thing I have done … was because I was coming from the right angle,” he said. “I had been there at the right time and am open to experience.” Straheli said Kadich’s character is the chief reason for his success. “He is a very thoughtful, careful person,” Straheli said. “He is very aware of the work we do in academics can really profoundly affect peoples’ lives. And that is something I really
appreciate from him and learned more from him.” Kadich said he hopes to become a professor. “When I came to the UofA, I became much more plugged into the Tucson community and the interesting things happening here,” he said. “I’m really thankful for them.” Kadich said he will definitely return to Tucson and could imagine teaching on campus one day.

MOVING ON TO THEIR OWN BEATS
Natalie Anne Allen BY THERESA COTTON @DailyWildcat
Natalie Anne Allen showed immense passion and drive while at the University of Arizona, graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in dance and a Bachelor of Arts in communication and being recognized as an Outstanding Senior of the School of Dance. The BFA program hasn’t been the only territory Allen excelled in. She also pursued a thematic minor in French art and culture, where she earned a 4.0 GPA. “I always knew that I wanted to pursue an additional degree in college. I honestly kind of stumbled into the communication major but have thoroughly enjoyed every class I’ve taken,” Allen said. Jazz and contemporary dance are genres that have always been important to Allen, and they are the forms of dance she wants to pursue in the future. She associates herself with more of the jazz/contemporary/modern side of dance and would love to pursue both commercial and concert work in the future. The School of Dance is a core part of the College of Fine Arts, as well as “an extremely impressive attribute for the UA,” Allen said. Students come from all over to audition and study the curriculum in the program. “My experience at UA dance has been beyond what I could have imagined,” Allen
said. “As an out-of-state student, being far from my family was challenging to adjust at first, but the students and faculty in this program have truly become my home away from home.” The UA dance faculty have extensive professional experience in dancing, as well as a remarkable expertise in dance and art education, according to Allen. Many faculty members are sought after as prime educators for dance festivals, workshops and schools all over the world. “Natalie has distinguished herself in the dance program as a captivating performer, repeatedly featured in five of eight faculty members’ choreography in the jazz and modern genres,” said Melissa Lowe, a UA dance professor and the director of student services and adviser in the School of Dance. Being accepted as a major in the dance program is one of Allen’s proudest moments. At the beginning of her freshman year, she was only accepted as a jazz minor and knew if becoming a major was going to happen, she was going to have to work twice as hard. She pushed herself and, in late September of her freshman year, she auditioned again and was “thrilled” to be accepted. Allen aims for a professional career in dance with a company this summer, after graduation. She hopes to pursue a dance career that gives her the opportunity to do what she loves, which is perform. She also wants to explore teaching.
COURTESY NATALIE ALLEN
NATALIE ANNE ALLEN, NAMED Outstanding Senior in the School of Dance, is earning a BFA in dance and a BA in communication. She has been part of many UA dance productions and has been an inspiration to her peers.
Allen is looking forward to what the future holds. She encouraged others to get involved. “This program is filled with the most talented, passionate and inspiring people I have ever encountered; it’s been humbling just to be surrounded by them every day,” Allen said. “The characteristics that the faculty
instill in all of their students—dedication, perseverance, drive just to name a few—are so important going forward in this profession.” The faculty holds a similar opinion of Allen. “The dance faculty are proud to endorse Natalie and following her successes and accomplishments in years to come,” Lowe said.
Nat Anderson BY LEIA LINN @DailyWildcat
COURTESY NAT ANDERSON
NAT ANDERSON, A SENIOR getting a degree in music and business, has a passion for composing and producing his own songs and said he wants to continue on that path in the future.
Combining music-integrated studies and business administration, Nat Anderson found his passion in the University of Arizona College of Fine Arts. Although Anderson was born in Glendale, Arizona, he lived almost all of his life in Texas. He decided to make the move back to Arizona after being offered a scholarship and direct admission to Eller College of Management. Originally, Anderson was a pre-business major. He later decided to switch to a major he had more passion for: music studies. “I couldn’t picture myself going the route of getting a business degree in college and then working for one particular company,” Anderson said. Anderson’s love for music and creativity inspired him to switch his major and follow his dreams. He plays guitar and piano and uses digital software to bring his music to life. “Doing music is almost meditation for me,” Anderson said. His favorite genre of music is hip-hop, and in the future, he wants to improve his
singing and performance skills, as well as record music. His goal is to save enough money to invest in recording equipment and have his own recording studio to produce music. At UA, Anderson was part of a project for an environmental science journalism class where he created music for a documentary. John Mello, a student in the same class, said Anderson was “very helpful and willing to work with everyone in a professional way.” Anderson also works as a paper delivery driver for Fast Copy and was briefly involved in Young Life, a youth organization in Tucson aiming to “introduce adolescents to Jesus Christ and helping them grow in their faith,” according to its website. Anderson gained an internship at a recording studio under Wiley Ross, director of the Rec Studio at the UA, in order to get “some experience in a real studio.” He loves music first and foremost, almost to a fault he said, but doesn’t think it’s steered him wrong. He tells others to “pursue what you love, not because it sounds nice to say, but because you’ll find a way to make everything else work out.”

DESIGNING THEIR NEXT STEPS
Elizabeth Denneau BY PASCAL ALBRIGHT @pascalloves
In her time at the University of Arizona, Tucson native Elizabeth Denneau found her artistic calling in art education. She’s graduating with a degree in art and visual culture education and is establishing herself as a designer and local artist. Denneau, a non-traditional transfer from Pima Community College (PCC), has worked with youth most of her life, as a social worker and through youth programs. She ran a fashion line and small business at the same time before making her move to the UA. She’s shown a passion for art throughout her life. When she was growing up, she remembers making her own clothes and being creative as a way to better communicate her self-expression. “When I was younger, I was always drawing and making things and tearing things apart,” Denneau said. “Art was that escape, and when I worked in social work with youth, it was very evident that art is therapeutic.” After realizing that running a small business took more work than Denneau intended, she decided it was time to focus on another passion: mentoring and teaching art to youth. Taking the PCC route was the best way to get back into the school routine and helped her adjust to the college lifestyle. Once at the UA, she became involved in the UA School of
Art community. “Being an older student made me even more nervous, knowing that most students are half my age, but the art school made me feel very welcome and helped me get to where I am today,” Denneau said. Like most college students, she held several jobs, including barista and book store associate, and worked with art programs at the UA. She continues to carry out her online clothing store, CandyStrike, and produces assembly art, which focuses on combining multi-medium materials on a visual platform. Cerese Vaden, a professor of art, and Aaron Coleman, an assistant professor of art, have influenced Denneau the most while at the UA. They have made her think differently about art and about the importance of keeping her own practice while still teaching. “Denneau is positive, ready to learn, grow and she pushes herself and applies constructive criticism to every project,” Vaden said. “Her work is exceptionally strong, with technical skill and conceptual relevance.” Vaden has had Denneau in several classes and enjoyed her work ethic and positive attitude, calling her ability to communicate and produce art an immense talent. Coleman, who teaches in the 2-D division in the UA School of Art, also enjoyed having Denneau in his courses, calling her a joy to be around and a great role model for her classmates.
“Elizabeth is also a dedicated educator. I believe she will make a major impact in the lives of young people,” Coleman said. Denneau enjoyed the print shop at the UA the most, referring to the kind community and diverse atmosphere it brought to the art school. Given her background in fashion, one of Denneau’s passions is to continue working in print-making. With her degree, she will be the new visual arts teacher at Marana High School and is looking to give her students that expressive platform and build a strong relationship between the school and the UA. “I’m very excited to work with high schoolers, and I enjoy working with all age groups,” Denneau said. “High schoolers are really fun because you’ve got that sassiness while also thinking on that deep level, usually about themselves.” She wants to keep a connection between the UA and her classroom to establish a pipeline for her students to get the experience of higher education, particularly in art. She wants people to know art education is “one of the coolest avenues” and you can be an artist and teach art to people, which can be very rewarding. “You can have a job that pays your bills while still producing art and being in that artistic atmosphere,” Denneau said. “Being able to nerd out about art with kids is the coolest thing; it’s really rad.”
COURTESY ELIZABETH DENNEAU
ELIZABETH DENNEAU, A SENIOR getting a degree in art and visual culture education, will use her degree to teach art at Marana High School.
Denneau continues to inspire her peers and show her passion for art education while finishing her degree. She looks forward to working with youth and spreading her knowledge in a new creative atmosphere: the classroom.
Erica Silverman BY LEIA LINN @DailyWildcat
COURTESY ERICA SILVERMAN
ERICA SILVERMAN, A SENIOR from the College of Letters, Arts and Science, is getting her degree in arts, media and entertainment. She will continue to pursue the arts as she looks for her next step.
Graduating from the University of Arizona College of Letters, Arts and Science with a degree in arts, media and entertainment, Erica Silverman is exploring her next step. Silverman, who is from Phoenix, came to the UA to be close to home and her sister, who also attended the UA. As a child, the painting “The Starry Night” by Van Gogh was an important symbol to Silverman. She had an urge to study Van Gogh, his art and his creative process, which drove her to pursue a degree in the arts. “It’s probably a cliché choice, but I would sit for hours and stare at this piece and be completely and utterly fascinated by every inch,” Silverman said. She said she wanted to study art because she always had a passion for looking at pieces and is “such an art nerd.” Silverman liked her major because it allowed her to pick from a broad range of classes, as well as give her the opportunity to express herself in different ways.
“I had an abundance of classes to choose from, so I was able to choose from art history to studio art courses to psychology,” Silverman said. “I also like to paint for fun and as a way to express myself.” Some of Silverman’s favorite courses included painting and graphic design, as she likes to express herself through brush strokes and multiple mediums. Drawing is another way Silverman expresses herself creatively. Although she enjoys being artistic, she also likes learning and using technology. “I liked how we got to figure out new ideas and programs and play around with the software in the graphic design class,” Silverman said. Silverman was also involved in Greek Life on campus and was on the executive board for her sorority, where she was the new member educator, in charge of getting the new members ready for initiation. During her time in her sorority, she has made friends, including another graduating senior, Talia Capozzoli.
“I love her [Silverman’s] artwork because she really puts everything into it time, energy, interest and it always turns out amazing,” Capozzoli said. Silverman’s sorority, Alpha Epsilon Phi, is special to her as a senior. “You don’t realize how much you grow in a house,” Silverman said. She gained many sorority sisters, but her biological sister was part of her sorority, too, which was very meaningful to her. Not only was Silverman involved in Greek Life, she participated in the foreign exchange program. In fall 2017, she went to Florence, Italy to study art. “Coming from taking art history classes, you’re learning about the history and the culture and the art from European countries, and we got to see the artwork we learned about in class in person,” Silverman said. Silverman doesn’t know her next step quite yet but is excited to graduate; she looks to continue pursuing her artistic talents as she enters the workforce and looks back at the memories made at the UA.

CREATIVE CAPS
Looking at heads, looking ahead
With a 9.25-by-9.25-inch canvas, graduation caps serve as a surface for graduates to express themselves, either with something meaningful or humorous. Here are some explanations behind the designs Brie Zepeda’s cap references her family. “This, for me, means everything,” Zepeda said. “It’s to honor my family, to honor their struggles and sacrifices. To be a first-generation college graduate fills me with so much joy, it’s close to indescribable.” Zepada will be moving to Los Angeles at the end of May to continue her work as an actress.
M.J. Duffy decorated her cap with the Air Force logo after being a part of ROTC. “I’m grateful for the opportunities this university and Air Force ROTC have given me,” Duffy said. “The badge [on my cap] is for the job I will be doing in the Air Force, and I couldn’t be more excited for the adventures to come.” After she graduates, Duffy will be a Logistics and Readiness Officer at Aviano Air Base in Italy.

Mariah Latmer, who will be attending George Mason University School of Law in Fairfax, Virginia in the fall, decorated her cap with a quote from Legally Blonde. “The phrase is Elle’s response to her ex-boyfriend when he’s shocked to learn about her acceptance to law school,” Latmer said. “To me, the quote is all about female empowerment and defying stereotypes.”
“I love McDonalds and their phrase because I am someone who loves life, and I will be going on to pursue my master’s degree in higher education, and I basically wanted to portray that my work doesn’t stop here,” Jessa Lafarga said. “I have only accomplished a piece of my picture, and I still want to work as hard as I can to reach my dreams.”

SPORTS | FOOTBALL GRAD TRANSFER
Marcus Griffin and the NCAA grad transfer rule BY MARK LAWSON @DailyWildcat
The NCAA ruled in 2006 that a college athlete who graduated with remaining athletic eligibility could transfer without sitting out the required season to pursue a graduate degree. Since this rule was put in place, the graduate transfer has become a key piece in recruiting for teams looking for immediate help across college sports. Arizona football’s defensive tackle, Marcus Griffin, is using that rule. The redshirt junior was looking for a fresh start and a place to clear his head after three seasons at the University of Arizona. Griffin had played 11 games in those three seasons, and he knew about midseason that he would be looking to explore his options.

“When the news got out I was looking to transfer, I didn’t really know the response I would get at first,” Griffin said. After all, while the NCAA created the transfer rule, not all coaches agree on its value. Current University of Texas basketball head coach Shaka Smart spoke to ESPN in 2012 about the value of transfers: “Transfers have become the No. 1 target in recruiting in the spring — not high school kids because the pickings are very slim by the time you get to this point in the year,” Smart said. Tubby Smith, basketball coach at High Point University, is one of the coaches that sits opposite of Smart, believing the transfer rule should not exist. “[The increase in waivers] is a disturbing trend because kids can come up with many [reasons]. That just gives them another way to quit,” Smith said to ESPN in a 2012 article on graduate transfers. “You signed the papers. This is where you wanted to be.” However, it worked out for Griffin, and soon, big-name schools such as Texas Tech, Virginia and Oklahoma State came calling when they heard he was looking to transfer. Griffin, however, was looking for a place that had a different atmosphere than some of the bigger places and programs across the country. “I wanted more of a small town feel and atmosphere, someplace where you won’t get caught up in the glam of it all,” he said. Central Michigan University is located in the city of Mount Pleasant, Michigan, with a population of just over 26,000, according to the 2016 census. For Griffin, this was just the type of atmosphere he was looking for. “They were one of the first schools to offer,” Griffin said. “Head coach [John] Bonamego always made me feel important and wanted during the process.” Griffin was sold on the culture, and he announced shortly thereafter that he was committing to the Chippewas. “It was a great campus and fanbase,” Griffin said. “I have family in Michigan I wanted to get a little closer to as well, so everything worked out well.” Griffin leaves for Central Michigan on June 1 and still has yet to determine what he will pursue his graduate degree in. But he said he will always remember the class he came in with during his time at the UA. “That group I came in with and the bond we’ve had over these last four years is one I wouldn’t trade,” said Griffin. “They really made my time on campus, and in Tucson, special.”

OPINION
After graduation, what happens next? COLUMNIST SAMMY MINSK @DailyWildcat
W
hen May rolls around, the atmosphere on campus is at a whole new level. Kids are sobbing in the study rooms at the library, some are skipping off to the airport with their bags packed and others are just crossing off another year of college. As a senior, those students, the ones that will be back next year, are the ones I’m most jealous of. You hear people talk about their new internship in New York or Los Angeles, or those who somehow scored a real-life-careerjob, and wish you had your life together. Writer David Foster Wallace said during a commencement speech in 2005 to Kenyon College, “You graduating seniors don’t have any clue what ‘day in and day out’ really means,” then went on to explain my worst, yet so relatable, nightmare. There you are in your cozy white-collar, college-graduate job that you go to five days a week. Today was extremely stressful and all you want to do is go home and Netflix and chill, go to bed early and be ready for work tomorrow. Then you remember you don’t have any food at home, so you decide to stop at the grocery store. There’s so much traffic it feels like the entire city decided to go to Safeway, too. You start to get irritated and begin judging people based on their appearance. Ew, look at that haircut. He looks like a blind nun dressed him. Another Canadian tuxedo, *barf.* They deserve to be judged because they are clearly in your way, ruining your date with your couch. Inside Safeway, you push a cart aimlessly
down aisles as fluorescent lights beat down on you while hearing “soul-killing muzak or corporate pop” in the background. You head to the checkout and only a few cashiers are available, all with long lines. The lady who rings up your things frantically bags everything, exhausted from the heavy flow of shoppers. Her day-to-day life seems so meaningless and trivial, an unimaginable place for an ambitious college student. I’ve been in that same scenario while interning in Beverly Hills for a YouTube affiliate company. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I had my own key card to get in the company garage, there was always a stocked kitchen with Costco snacks and famous YouTubers walking around. After a week, I was over it. I didn’t like looking out the wall-sized window at the little ant-sized people. They were all going places with a purpose while I sat stuck in an office building. The days started meshing together, and life became robotic, like another day in and another day out. And that’s why I envy those students who are continuing their studies, because optional dress and attending class never gets old. Wallace ends his speech with hope for those who are able to find the real value of education, which has nothing to do with knowledge and everything to do with simple awareness. Whatever he means by that, I’m really excited to have my future, an open slate of opportunity, to figure it out. So even though I’ll miss getting my student discounts at the movies and newspaper subscriptions, it’s scary and exciting to find what inspires me and motivates me in the world — which is not a 9 to 5 job.

Crossing the college halfway point COLUMNIST ALEC SCOTT @DailyWildcat
T
wo years down, two to go. Without a doubt, this year has been the first time that I was actually able to settle into the routine of classes and feel like I knew what I am trying to do. The first half of my freshman year taught me the only way to make it to get through college is to sink or swim; you either have to try your hardest, or take a step back and think about what you should really be doing. And if I had not transferred from the University of Denver to the University of Arizona after my first semester, I likely would have sunk. I appreciated the staff and the students at Denver, and the time I spent there was a highlight I will never forget, but my decision to transfer was ultimately the right one. I have a support system here that I did not have up in Colorado, and it was precisely that group of friends and family that helped me through the confusion of freshman year. My total confusion at the start of college is not unique in any way, and many students often feel overwhelmed by the new environment. In fact, when looking at college students who enrolled in 2008, the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center found that almost a third of all students dropped out without receiving a degree. This problem is different state by state, with high graduation rates seen in Delaware, with 73.6 percent receiving a degree in six years, and low in Alaska, with only 30.6 percent receiving a degree in six years. Arizona is actually ahead of the national average, with almost 60 percent graduating in six years, and the UA leads all public universities in the state at 61.4 percent. Students cite economic costs, competition, stress and the demands of working to pay the bills as all being a part of their decision to drop out. And during my freshman year, I felt those very pressures that push many to either drop their coursework to part time or pull out of college entirely. It wasn’t until sophomore year that I actually started to take inventory of what I was trying to accomplish and how to do it. Despite what I had hoped for early on, studying had to actually become an integral part of my academic life; it is probably the only

reason I was able to get anything above a “D” on any test I have taken in the past year and a half. Getting a part-time job may often be stressful, but it has allowed me to gain experience, have some money in my pocket and branch out to meet new people. Time management has allowed me to structure my day more effectively and make use of the free time I have between work and classes. Long gone are the wild and improvisational responses to homework and group projects. These would often not only hurt my grades, but the grades of those unlucky enough to be stuck with me. Overall, this semester has been one where I have tried to take the successes and failures of freshman year and make some sense of them, try to put together a plan that allows me to feel accomplished and guided at school without also feeling dead inside. At least that’s the plan. At the time of writing this, grades have not been finalized and I am yet to take my last final exam, or even begin my final paper for another class. So, it’s not as if I have this down to a science yet. But the important part is that I am trying to make college work by building up strategies and methods that will help me not feel lost in all the noise. My biggest recommendation to anyone about to start their sophomore year is to start taking inventory. Why are you going to college? What do you want to get out of this experience? Do you know the best way to do that? If you don’t have an answer to any of those questions, you don’t have to panic. I am relatively sure I don’t actually know any of them, and I feel pretty good about most things. But if you start thinking about the present and the future more concretely, such as study tips that help you prepare for tests or using techniques you’ve noticed help you remember homework, it becomes much easier to get through the year and feel like you are doing something better than just treading water for four years to get a piece of paper and join the labor market. Looking back, this year has been much more stable than freshman year, and I hope to take what I have learned during it and work out all the bugs to make sure junior year is even better. Or at least not worse. I will take that, too.

EDITORIAL
President Robbins key to addressing UA’s issues BY DAILY WILDCAT OPINIONS BOARD @DailyWildcat
T
he last year has been filled with several controversies, from sexual misconduct claims to mishandling of students’ living situations, but it’s not all doom and gloom for the University of Arizona. From the moment he took the job, UA President Dr. Robert Robbins has been leading efforts to clean up the school and address whatever issues arise. He has certainly had his hands full. By the time Robbins took the position, the UA was already embroiled in scandals involving former athletes and coaches, and within months of classes starting, both the basketball and football programs were under intense heat. With the arrest of assistant basketball coach Book Richardson on bribery charges and football coach Rich Rodriguez fired amid harassment and hostile workplace accusations, Robbins was in the fire virtually from the word go. In fact, he was under the microscope before even starting, after the Arizona Board of Regents decided to conduct the presidential search that eventually brought Robbins to campus in a secretive manner, which legal experts declared “wrong on the law” during a lengthy Daily Wildcat investigation. However, Robbins did not allow the intense scrutiny surrounding his hiring to sour his relation with the paper or the students at large, as he sat down with student leaders and media members to express his vision for the university during his first official day on campus. Since that time, the UA president has handled everything thrown at him to the best of his ability. However, due to the law or other bureaucratic restraints, some of these responses have been less transparent than would be ideal. The Daily Wildcat is once again calling for all investigations into former coaches, players and the entire athletic department to be open, with outside groups given full access to review methods and allowed to offer insights before, during and after the inquiry processes. Robbins must also continue working to eliminate those at the university who would damage its reputation by engaging in harmful or destructive behavior, especially those operating in positions of authority. The sheer amount of complaints, lawsuits and other legal actions against former UA employees and students means these problems can’t be ignored, and must not be allowed to continue.
SIMON ASHER | THE DAILY WILDCAT
UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA PRESIDENT Dr. Robert Robbins in attendance at the Arizona-UCLA basketball game at the 2018 Pac12 Tournament in Las Vegas. Robbins has been key to addressing issues on campus since his arrival. Also, the UA needs to be careful with data being collected from students and ensure it is being honest and forthright with exactly what is being stored and who has access to the vast amounts of information being scooped up. Furthermore, any policy changes that will impact students must be made while consulting those who will be affected, with as much time and planning as possible to avoid any unnecessary complications. Positive steps have been taken, but everyone at the university must continue to dedicate themselves to the
highest standards of professionalism, collaboration and community. With Robbins leading the way and setting the example for all to follow. The 2017-18 school year has been a tough one for all Wildcats, but the experience would have been even more arduous had Robbins not been here to lead the university’s responses. With more cases pending, including possibly far-reaching investigations into college basketball and Title IX lawsuits, the storm isn’t over yet. Robbins must keep his focus on these issues, while simultaneously navigating anything else
that comes his way. While he does, all of us must support the efforts to right the ship and keep the pressure on to constantly improve our university. Those that have come before us, and those yet to come, deserve nothing less. Editorials are determined by the Daily Wildcat Opinions Board and are written by its members.

NEWS | THIS YEAR’S BIGGEST STORIES
Coaching intrigue, lawsuits highlight ‘18-19 An FBI investigation into the men’s basketball program led a controversial year that saw UA’s head football coach fired, its former honors dean sue the school and teachers walk out en masse BY ALANA MINKLER @DailyWildcat
1. BOOK RICHARDSON FBI INVESTIGATION LEADS TO ACCUSATIONS AGAINST SEAN MILLER
On the morning of Sep. 26, 2017 Emanuel “Book” Richardson, former University of Arizona men’s basketball assistant coach, was taken into FBI custody for corruption and fraud charges. His arrest kicked off a string of events that eventually led to an ESPN article accusing Sean Miller of allegedly paying a player, reportedly Deandre Ayton. Miller was subsequently suspended for a road game at Oregon. After a March 1 press conference in which Miller denied all wrong-doing, he returned to the sideline as head coach for the remainder of the season. Despite the seriousness of the investigation, President Dr. Robert Robbins and athletic director Dave Heeke stood behind Miller. In April, the Arizona Board of Regents decided to amend Miller’s contract, a measure that would punitively punish Miller to the tune of $1 million, taken from a longevity fund, if he is found to have violated major NCAA rules or is indicted on criminal charges.
2. RICH ROD FIRED AND THE AFTERMATH
On Jan. 2, head football coach Rich Rodriguez was fired for several factors relating to the direction and climate of the football program, according to a UA press release. The termination came four days after a notice of claim was filed with the Arizona Attorney General’s Office by a former personal assistant alleging instances of sexual harassment by Rodriguez. The former assistant’s allegations included harassment, unwanted touching, an attempt to pay her off with $300 and more, according to the notice of claim. The UA has paid the remaining $6.28 million of Rodriguez’s contract. Rodriguez has filed a counter notice of claim against his accuser, alleging that she and her attorney, Augustine Jimenez III, attempted to blackmail Rodriquez to the tune of $7.5 million.
3. CRAIG CARTER TRIAL
Craig Carter, former track and field assistant coach for the UA, was found guilty of assault and aggravated assault with a weapon on March 30 after an encounter with a student-athlete in which he choked her, threw her and threatened her by putting a box-cutter to her throat. After the March 30 verdict, an editorial from The Daily Wildcat Editorial Board said the UA needs to send a strong message that, “harmful, destructive or violent behavior will not be accepted in any way, shape or form.” Carter was also charged with domestic-violencerelated stalking and disruption of an educational

institution for assaulting Baillie Gibson outside of a classroom on April 29, 2015. Carter plead guilty to those charges on April 30.
Comrie, following the lawsuit, stepped down from his position as senior vice president for academic affairs and provost.
4. HONORS DEAN TITLE IX LAWSUIT
5. RED FOR ED
The issue of gender pay equity at the UA came up Jan. 22 when Patricia MacCorquodale, the former Honors College Dean, sued the Arizona Board of Regents for $2 million, alleging gender pay discrepancies at the UA. MacCorquodale’s attorneys allege “that ABOR dramatically underpaid Dr. MacCorquodale during her tenure as Honors College dean relative to male deans at the university and to her male successors at the Honors College.” The lawsuit, brought under the Equal Pay Act, was recently joined by Janice Cervelli, former dean of the College of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture. Cervelli alleges the UA refused to give her a single pay raise while she served as dean from 2008 to 2016. Additionally, MacCorquodale’s lawsuit names former UA Provost Andrew Comrie, claiming the Dean’s Council, “is primarily composed of men.” The lawsuit goes on to allege he “inappropriately criticized [a female dean’s] appearance, stating she should wear skirts more often.”
Red for Ed, a teacher movement in Arizona demanding fair teacher pay and educational funding, has been prominent in recent months with walkouts that have made national headlines. The strike ended May 3 when Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey and lawmakers passed a state budget plan promising “a key provision granting teachers an average 19 percent pay increase within three years,” according to an Arizona Daily Star article. In an April 19 Daily Wildcat article, Mallory Anderson, an elementary school teacher in Tucson discussed the everyday struggles to make a living in Arizona as a teacher. “Basically, what we make on a month average is below what is considered livable means even in Tucson, so it’s pretty much a struggle,” Anderson said. The community however, has banded together in support of teachers around the state, supporting walkouts that have lasted for days. Now that the walkouts have ended, the public waits to see if Gov. Ducey’s promises will help improve Arizona’s public education system.

A UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA Police Department officer makes a call while standing by near the Koffler building on the UA campus.
BEST OF POLICE BEAT
BY VANESSA ONTIVEROS @NessaMagnifique
It’s the thought that counts (10/30/2017) A University of Arizona Police Department officer was called to the UA Bookstore for a shoplifting incident involving a pair of women’s underwear on Oct. 13 at 2 p.m. After being caught, the suspect told the officer he had intended to give the underwear to his girlfriend as a gift. The underwear was white and blue UA women’s cloth underwear priced at $19.99. Initially, the man brought the item to the cash register area, intending to pay for the item. However, he told officers that he didn’t have time to wait in line. The man proceeded to remove the tag from the underwear and hide the item in his pants pocket. He then left out of the main exit. The man reported to police that he cooperated when security confronted him in the breezeway about the stolen item. No damage was done to the item, other than the missing tag. However, the underwear will not go back on display. The officer cited the man for shoplifting after reading him his Miranda Rights. Additionally, the man was given an exclusionary order to stay out of the bookstore. Who’s there? (01/26/2018) Two female Yavapai Residence Hall residents woke up on Jan. 26 to a real nightmare: a stranger in their room. The students told a University of Arizona Police Department officer that at 2 a.m. they were woken up by a female voice repeatedly saying, “Oh my God, I’m so cold!” Each student thought it was the other saying this. Once they started talking to each other, the students realized there was a third girl present in the room. One of the students grabbed a flashlight and shone it on an unknown girl. The girl immediately rose and ran out of the room, slamming the door shut behind her. According to the officer, both students seemed startled by the events. The students told the officer they were positive their door was closed and locked. The officer inspected the door and judged it to be sturdy and secure with no signs of forced entry. Both students told the officer they felt safe sleeping in the room after testing the door several times. The students said they would not press charges if the girl was in the wrong room by accident, but would if they discovered that she was in there intentionally. Hazed and confused (02/01/2018) A student flagged down a University of Arizona Police Department officer on Feb. 3 inside the Student Union Memorial Center to report his experiences with hazing while rushing the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity. Alpha Sigma Phi was officially kicked off campus last semester and is no longer associated with UA. The student told the officer that earlier that week, he accepted a bid from the fraternity and was instructed to arrive at the house at exactly 8 p.m. The fraternity members then made all the pledges shotgun beer while they threw full beer cans at them. Multiple pledges were forced to clean their own vomit. The next day, when the student refused to follow an order, one frat member called him a homophobic slur and threatened to fight him. The student left. The officer told the student that because Alpha Sigma Phi is no longer associated with UA, any criminal complaints would have to be made with the Tucson Police Department. An FYI notice was sent to the Dean of Students in reference to the fraternity and the actions of its members, who are current UA students. The tale of the piñata thief (03/01/2018) An Apache-Santa Cruz resident met with UAPD officers again on March 1 after an investigation into a previous incident led to the discovery of further scandals, including a stolen piñata. The Apache-Santa Cruz community director met with an officer to report that a student had stolen a megaphone and a multicolored bull-shaped piñata from his office and he wished to prosecute. With the student’s permission, the officer entered his room to inspect it. On the student’s desk was a pink highlighter, the same color used to previously vandalize other residents’ doors. The student denied writing anything on the doors. He then speculated that someone had framed him, perhaps one of his fraternity brothers, however he refused to name his fraternity or “snitch.” The student was wearing a Theta Chi shirt. The officer asked the student about the piñata and megaphone that were found. He didn’t know where the piñata came from, but that it probably showed up sometime last night. The student insisted that the megaphone was not stolen, but that he’d found it in one of the three garages that the fraternity owns. A check of the megaphones at neighboring halls revealed that they were exact matches to the one found in the student’s room. The officer cited the student for theft and released him.

TATE STEALS THE SHOW
RICHARDSON ARRESTED
UA’S WINS VS ASU
Quarterback Khalil Tate left his mark on the field and pushed himself into the Heisman conversation due to his performances during the month of October. Tate was named Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week for four consecutive weeks, and became the first player in the UA football program to have three 200-yard rushing games in the same season.
Arizona’s former assistant coach Book Richardson was arrested on Sep. 26, 2017 and faced charges of bribery and illegal payments in NCAA basketball. The investigation caused a spotlight to be cast on the Arizona program for the rest of the season, and eventually allegations toward head coach Sean Miller and player Deandre Ayton.
WOMEN’S HOOPS STRUGGLES
FOLES SHINES
Women’s hoops didn’t have the season they were hoping for as they finished 6-24 overall and 2-16 in the Pac-12. The ‘Cats finished the season 11th in the Pac12 standings along with a seven game losing streak. To make matters worse, in-state rival ASU eliminated the Wildcats during the Pac-12 Tournament. Arizona will bring on eight new players for next season in hopes to bounce back.
In February 2018, former UA football quarterback Nick Foles led the Philadelphia Eagles to a Super Bowl 52 win over the New England Patriots. Foles threw for 373 yards, three touchdowns and caught another. The performance earned Foles the Super Bowl MVP award.
It is always a high to the year when the Wildcats walk away with wins from in-state rival ASU. Men’s basketball, beach volleyball, soccer, softball and volleyball all took home key victories against the Sun Devils.
RODRIGUEZ FIRED Arizona head football coach Rich Rodriguez was terminated from his position on Jan. 2, 2018 after a former administrative assistant in the athletic department filed a sexual harassment and hostile work environment claim on the coach. The accuser’s claims were found to have a lack of proof therefore leaving Rodriguez to be fired without cause and receive his payout of $6.28 million from Arizona.

POETRY SHINES ON DESERT LANDSCAPE
Local artist and University of Arizona alumnus Nathanael Myers brings creativity to life in Tucson through his desire to kindle the notion of conceptual and visual poetry. Myers, who graduated from the UA in 2015 with a degree in fine arts, works in a variety of artistic mediums, including two-dimensional art, dance and music. His passion for artistic creation fuels his current work in each of these platforms. Myers was a proud recipient of the Buffalo Exchange Emerging Artist Award for 2017, an annual award which highlights emerging artists in the performing arts and visual arts, and individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the arts through education, organization and advocacy. “To have acknowledgement that what I am doing is correct, especially not going to school for, say, dance or performance, that was really rewarding, and it redefined my definition of gratitude for the community that supported me,” Myers said. “I knew that what I was doing within Tucson meant something and it was not just an internal practice.” The importance of fine arts, and the message Myers brings to the community, is that art is able to connect and communicate what words may not be able to. Myers plans to enroll in a master’s program at NYU in New York in August. With help from the Buffalo Exchange Award, Myers also plans to take several summer dance intensives, allowing him to continue his movement practice and exploration of new artistic mediums.
The UA chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) — the College of St. Felix — is a student-run organization that practices the skills and tasks of the Middle Ages in modern times. The club takes part in “everything middle ages” from chain-mail making to their more popular live action fighter training, which is held weekly, as a way to highlight the importance of historical accuracy. “We are a living history,” said Aaryn Pemberton, the 2017-2018 seneschal, or president, of the club. “The SCA is 100-percent audience participation. There are no actors; it’s all volunteer, and if you don’t participate, you won’t get anything out of it.” The club, one of about 600 clubs on campus, focuses on the learning experiences members gain throughout their time with the SCA, aiming to teach skills that other organizations on campus cannot offer. The College of St. Felix is always open to students wanting to join. They host a yearly event, in partnership with the bigger Tucson SCA chapter, called “Sable Knight” as well. “There’s just a lot of skills that aren’t practiced in the world today that this community offers, and it grows you as a jack-of-all-trades,” said Kota Fleming, a 2018 graduate and the previous art and science minister and chatelaine, or “new person greeter,” of the club.
The UA Poetry Center collaborated with the ArizonaSonora Desert Museum to display the Woven Words project at their museum grounds, hoping to give audiences a highlight of environmental issues facing the dessert landscape. The project features over 30 different poetry installations, and in pairing poetry with the exhibit space, the Desert Museum audiences are invited to think about what they are reading in context with what they are seeing. “I look at all these different ways for bringing people out here because I never know what’s going to attract them or what’s going to connect with them,” said Craig Ivanyi, the executive director for the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. “What we’re always looking to do is get [people] to walk away with a piece of [the museum] in their heart to where they actually feel something and want to do something about it.” The collaboration between the poetry center and the museum aims to strengthen the relationship between UA and the larger community. The center continues to look for ways to engage people both the UA and Tucson communities. This project stressed the importance of environmental awareness as well as serving as a platform for creative collaboration. The poetry center, located at 1508 E. Helen Street, hosts weekly readings, workshops and larger projects with students, faculty, the community and campus.

PICTURED ABOVE , THE ARIZONA State Capitol building. During the last legislative session, multiple bills pertaining to higher education were debated on and either passec on to the governor, or shelved.
Bills could change campus rules BY RANDALL ECK @Reck999 Every year a number of bills are introduced in the Arizona State Legislature that directly impact the University of Arizona and the student experience on campus. Because of this, the UA alongside the Arizona Board of Regents, the governing body for the three public universities in the state, lobby at the state legislature. These efforts range from universitysponsored events, like “Cats at the Capitol” where UA students advocate for the college at the state capitol, to the yearlong work of a team of in-house government relations specialists. Occasionally, the regents and university presidents or student leaders take the trip up to Phoenix to personally meet with legislators. Want to know what bills affecting the UA and its students have worked their way through the state legislature this term? Some of the most critical and interesting bills are spotlighted below: House Bill 2172: Non-lethal weapons on campus This bill would prohibit the UA from banning the possession of nonlethal weapons by students or community members on campus. A nonlethal weapon is defined as one that has a low probability of causing death or permanent injury. The bill was initially introduced in response to concerns of sexual violence on campus, allowing individuals to carry pepper spray and other mechanisms of self-defense previously banned on campus. The regents came out in opposition to the bill believing the definition of nonlethal weapons stopped the UA from banning a wide array of devices that could negatively impact campus safety, such as Tasers or rubber bullets. Status: The bill passed the House 35-22 and is currently working its way through the Senate. House Bill 2563: Free expression policies This bill seeks to protect freedom of speech on college campuses. The bill mandates UA not restrict individuals on campus exercising their free speech unless they engage in violence, threats or disruptive behavior. The bill requires UA to create a committee to monitor free speech activities on campus and report to the legislature. The bill states any speaker invited to UA is welcomed and UA should provide for their security and take disciplinary actions against students who attempt to deny an individual their right to free speech. The regents have not opposed the bill but ABOR President Eileen Klein did argue sometimes efforts to increase free speech on college campuses by legislators actually inadvertently curtail free speech. Status: The bill passed the Senate 17-13 and the House 34-23 and is now awaiting Arizona Governor Doug Ducey’s signature. Senate Bill 1422: Tuition and fees This bill requires the regents’ vote to approve all changes to the tuition and fees at UA. Previously, the regents only had to vote on tuition increases, differential tuition and mandatory fee increases at the UA. They will now vote to approve class fees and other fees under the sole jurisdiction of the UA. The regents were opposed to this bill for the
additional workload it would place on the board. The bill also creates separate sub-accounts for university tuition and fees that would be subject to state appropriations. Status: The bill was passed by the House 48-11 and the Senate 30-0 and signed by Governor Ducey into law. House Bill 2475: Tuition for Arizona National Guard This bill would approve the use of close to $1.5 million from the state general fund to pay for the tuition and fees waiver for Arizona National Guard Members attending UA and the other public universities. The bill was meant to help revive the National Guard Postsecondary Education Reimbursement Program which hasn’t received state funding since 2009. The regents support this bill. They support tuition waivers passed by the legislature if they are accompanied by the necessary funding. Status: The bill remains in the House. House Bill 2110: Desolving university governance The bill did not focus on the UA or the regents until the Senate Natural Resources, Water, and Energy Committee, when an amendment thought up by Rep. Mark Finchem was added. The amendment, which passed in committee, would dissolve the Arizona Board of Regents and establish an individual governing board for each of the three Arizona public universities. The regents strongly opposed an effort to dissolve the body and expressed frustration with efforts by the legislature to dissolve the body which seeks to fulfill Arizona’s constitutional requirement to keep college tuition as free as possible. Status: This bill passed the House 37-22 and is working its way through the Senate. House Bill 2482: Foster care tuition waiver The bill would provide tuition waivers to children who were in Arizona’s foster care program more than six months and meet a series of other requirements. The regents support the spirit of the bill but have stated they want all tuition waiver requests from the legislature to also come with the funding to fulfill that request, otherwise the UA is left to somehow find the money in its current budget. Status: This bill was passed by the House and is working its way through the Senate. House Bill 2280: University land sse and leasing This bill requires the regents to approve all new land leasing agreements of UA and the other universities and prohibits the leasing of land for nonacademic, commercial purposes. The regents opposed the measure believing it restricts entrepreneurship and innovation by Arizona’s universities. Status: This bill is working its way through the House. Want to stay informed on the progress of these bills? The Arizona State Legislatures website and LegiScan allow citizens to track and follow legislation. The regents, the UA and its students will continue to lobby the legislature on the bills above and ones yet to be written in the coming year.

FOOTBALL
The world was officially introduced to Khalil Tate on Oct. 7, 2017 at Colorado when the sophomore broke the FBS single-game rushing record for a quarterback with 327 yards. Tate entered the game in Boulder in the first quarter when Brandon Dawkins exited with an injury. Fourteen carries and five touchdowns later, Tate etched his name in the record books with an unforgettable performance. Tate lifted Arizona to a 45-42 win over Colorado in what was the start of a four-game winning streak for the football team. The performance against the Buffaloes was only the beginning for Tate who garnered Heisman attention in late October and proved to be one of the most electrifying college football players in 2017.

The top moment for Arizona women’s soccer came when the UA hosted an NCAA tournament game for the first time in program history in November. The UA was matched up with TCU in the first round. The Horned Frogs were and strong club and finished their regular season 12-6-3, and it showed against Arizona. TCU went 1-0 up on the ‘Cats in just the 30th minute. The ‘Cats would wait an anxious 45 minutes to find an equalizer when Samantha Falasco tapped a Gabi Stoian corner after the ball ricocheted around the six-yard box. The real fireworks came five minutes later, when, in the 81st minute, Cali Crisler fired a shot from far outside the box and beat TCU’s goalkeeper far post to give Arizona the lead. That proved to be the game winner and sent Arizona to the second round against Florida State.

MEN’S BASKETBALL
Behind a historic performance from freshman Deandre Ayton and a highlight reel dunk from Rawle Alkins, Arizona men’s basketball took home its second straight Pac-12 Tournament Championship with a win against USC in Las Vegas. Ayton poured in 32 points and 17 rebounds to earn the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player. Alkins’ momentum-shifting dunk will be etched into men’s basketball history. The previous weeks had been filled with drama and adversity surrounding the future of Sean Miller, but Arizona shook off the outside noise and delivered three-straight wins in the conference tournament. The conference title was the high point in the season and vaulted the ‘Cats into national title contender territory.

MEN’S GOLF
In their first tournament in late January, the Arizona Intercollegiate, the Wildcats came out with a big win. After finishing day one of the tournament tied for eighth place, the Wildcats stormed back. Arizona shot to the top of the leaderboard in the final three holes of the tournament passing Baylor and Texas A&M for first place. Not only did the Wildcats win, they won on their home course Sewailo Golf Club. The tournament win gave Arizona its first and only win of the 2017-2018 season and first win since 2012. It was also coach Jim Anderson’s first win as head coach for the men’s golf program.
SOFTBALL
On Feb. 11, Taylor McQuillin threw one of the best games a pitcher can throw: a no-hitter. McQuillin’s no-no came against New Mexico in the last game of the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe. The game also came just two days after she gave up five earned runs in just three innings against Oklahoma State. McQuillin struck out 11 batters in her five hitless innings. The only baserunner she gave up was a walk in the top of the fifth inning. McQuillin threw only 67 pitches in the game, and struck out 68.75% of the batters she faced.

The Doctor is ready to see UA now Robbins’ strategic With a background running Texas Medical Center, the largest health care provider in the nation, it’s little wonder Robbins has made such an impact in his first year
BY EDDIE CELAYA @reporterEddie
On June 1, 2017, Dr. Robert Robbins assumed the position of 22nd President of the University of Arizona. Since then, “Doc” Robbins has gone about putting his own, surgeon-like touch on the UA’s most visible and lucrative department — Health Sciences. But that’s not all. Health Sciences Health Sciences, which includes the UA Colleges of Medicine in Tucson and Phoenix, “employs almost 5,000 people, has nearly 1,000 faculty members and garners more than $126 million in research grants and contracts annually,” according to the UA’s website. In an interview with local NPR affiliate Arizona Public Media on June 2, 2017, Robbins laid out his priorities for the coming year. “The issues that I think are highest on my priority list is ... there are a couple of positions that need to be filled that I think are going to be really important,” he said. “Having someone to run the Health Sciences Center is a big issue.” In November 2017, during meetings for UA’s strategic plan before the Arizona Board of Regents, Robbins cited the Health Sciences-Banner Health relationship as integral in landing the Precision Medicine Initiative. The PMI eventually resulted in the largest National Institutes of Health grant ever awarded in Arizona, at $60 million over five years.“The UA would not have earned this grant without its partnership with Banner Health,” Robbins said. In April of this year, Robbins and the Board of Regents finally found their candidate. Dr. Michael Dake was named the new senior vice president of Health Sciences. Dake worked under Robbins previously during their time together at Stanford Medical School. “I am excited about the appointment of Dr. Dake to this important leadership position at the University of Arizona,” Robbins said. Infrastructure In that same AZPM interview, Robbins touched on improving the UA’s aging buildings and infrastructure. Part of Robbins’ plan included help from funding passed by the Arizona legislature in the form of
House Bill 2547, which allocated nearly $1 billion for renovations and constructing new buildings. The beginnings of that plan were on display in October 2017, when Arizona Governor Doug Ducey attended a ribbon cutting ceremony for the renovation of Building 90. “The University of Arizona will receive approximately $400 million, with half of that going toward Building 90 and eight other existing buildings on campus,” Ducey told The Daily Wildcat. “The other half will go toward two new, cutting-edge research facilities focused on physical sciences, engineering, bio-engineering, bio-science and biomedicine.” Robbins was happy to refurbish one of the larger, older research areas on campus. He also hinted at more to come. “I think the University of Arizona, with its landgrant mission, is poised to use these funds to be good stewards of the funds that the taxpayers of this state entrusted in us,” he said. Campus Presence From the very beginning, Robbins promised he would be an active member of the campus community. “I think as the sort of coach, cheerleader, storyteller for the university, it’s my job to get out and tell the incredible story that makes this university so great,” he told AZPM. “And I can’t learn that unless I’m out meeting with people and learning. Perhaps the best example of Robbins’ every-man spirit was a recent run-in he had with UA’s notorious campus preacher “Brother” Dean Saxton. During a ZonaZoo event on the Mall, Saxton and his acolytes began to heckle cheerleaders and passers-by. “Go back to your brothel,” one of them yelled. Enter Robbins. The President Doctor rode in on his custom golf cart, “Fight, Wildcats Fight” blasting from the speakers. Within no time, he had successfully reinvigorated the mood of the crowd and effectively silenced the taunts of Saxton and his cohorts. Perhaps Robbins had foreshadowed such an interaction in that initial interview with AZPM. “I’m going to be accessible,” he said at the time. “I’m going to be wandering the campus, I’m going to be at sporting events, I’m going to be in classes. And I want people to come tell me the good, the bad and the ugly.”
plan; where is the university now? BY JASMINE DEMERS @JasmineADemers
The University of Arizona, under the direction of President Robert C. Robbins, has launched a new strategic planning process, which aims to position the campus as a leader of higher education. With a total of five phases, including discovery, ideation, testing, development and implementation, the strategic plan is currently in the testing phase, which aims to solidify a set of initiatives that are prioritized most by the campus community. “While we have been soliciting feedback from the university community to shape the strategy throughout the process, this phase is explicitly designed to share initiatives and collect broad input,” said Lisa Ordóñez, co-chair of the strategic plan. Since the launch of the strategic planning process in November 2017, President Robbins and his team have focused on gathering community feedback, which will ultimately inform the implementation of a campus-wide strategic plan. In January 2018, as part of the discovery phase, the team visited classrooms, conducted nearly 100 focus groups and spoke with 1,800 students about the strengths and challenges of the university. An interactive discussion was also held on Jan. 29, 2018, which brought together over 500 students, faculty, staff, alumni, donors and community members to discuss the future of the university. From here, the strategic planning team moved into the ideation phase, which consisted of ten topical meetups and feedback sessions through March 2018. Each meetup discussed a new strategic pillar, and covered topics such as diversity, sustainability, globalization, health, art and student engagement. The team is now visiting colleges throughout the university to refine these initiatives before entering the development phase in June 2018. “Basically, we listened broadly to students, faculty, staff and other key stakeholders. From this broad base of information, we formed design teams of experts to develop initiatives to do the work of the strategic plan. We are now working on determining the final list of initiatives that will be funded as part of our strategic plan.” The fifth and final stage of the strategic plan will continue through November 2018, and will include a detailed implementation plan and intensive preparation for the new initiatives. “As a co-chair of this plan, I have learned just how incredible the University of Arizona is and that we have some of the most dedicated people that work hard every day to make us even more incredible,” Ordóñez said. “The strategic plan is important because it will help us move forward in a more coordinated manner and help us use our limited resources more efficiently.”
