Students stage campus walkout, show support for clean DACA bill Protesters encourage letter writing campaigns to Rep. Greg Walden to raise awareness of the presence of undocumented students in Oregon

By Lauren Sluss, Editor-in-Chief and Tiffani Smith, News Editor Amidst the pouring rain and boots splashing through puddles, the chant “Unite, fight back, we want a clean DREAM Act” rang clear as around 30 students marched the morning of Thursday, Nov. 9 throughout the Oregon State University campus, joining the national effort to show support for a clean DREAM Act. This national walkout day is in response to President Donald Trump and the U.S. Justice Department’s Sept. 5, 2017 announcement that the The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program would be terminated in a six-month time period, according to human development and family science major Priscila Narcio.

“We formed a walkout for national walkout day happening today, Nov. 9. It is to show advocacy to pass a clean Dream Act since the rescinding of DACA on Sept. 5,” Narcio said. “This is going on nationally; there are colleges and universities in D.C., Texas, Washington and California who are doing a national walkout day.”

The students gathered in the Student Experience Center around 11:30 a.m. with signs reading “Freedom is a constant struggle” and “Defend the Dream”, among others.

They proceeded to walk through major

streets on campus, heading north towards Monroe Avenue, back down to Jefferson Way and circling back to the Plaza.

The DACA program was established through an executive order from President Barack Obama in 2012, and allows certain individuals who came to the United States as children to request deferred action against them for a two-year period, contingent on them meeting a list of qualifications, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s webpage. Students who have received aid from the DACA program are commonly referred to as DREAMers.

Narcio herself is a DREAMer and has worked through her college career both at Chemeketa Community College and OSU to provide support for DACA recipients who are now uncertain of what their futures look like. She participated in Thursday’s walkout in order to raise awareness for DREAMers.

“We need to protect our DREAMers.

These are people who have, like myself, been brought here to the US. They know the language, know the customs, grew up K-12 here, and there needs to be a solution to this because they are people just like everyone else,” Narcio said. “I speak the language, I do everything here—I love it here.

Meningococcal: a community response OSU, Student Health Services raise awareness on disease, stress importance of receiving vaccination

Resident Nurse at Student Health Services administers the meningococcal B vaccine to Annie Mitev, OSU graphic design student.

SHS and the Student Health Pharmacy will contibute to provide students with the vaccine in Plagman Hall.

Due to a recent case of meningococcal B at Oregon State University, officials and health services have been raising more awareness on the disease and stressing the importance of getting vaccinated. Last year, three OSU students tested positive.

Though meningococcal is a rare disease and not easily transmitted, it is a serious and life-threatening disease, even in healthy individuals, according to Jeff Mull, medical director at Student Health Services. Additionally, meningococcal disease can lead to meningitis, which is an infection of the fluids that line the brain and spinal cord. Death and loss of appendages are also results as the disease affects the central nervous system, which subsequently affects the circulatory system and begins to shut down components of the body.

“Meningococcal disease is a bacterial infection caused by one of several strains of bacteria that affects the lining of the brain,” Mull said via email. “This bacteria is very aggressive and can progress rapidly over 12-24 hours.”

According to Bill Emminger, Benton

County environmental health division director, a tricky aspect of the disease is that it can be present in a community such as a town and lay undetected for some time.

“It can be on your body, it can be in your nasal passages and you’ll have no signs or symptoms of meningitis, and we don’t understand why that really happens, but something happens that all of a sudden makes a carrier susceptible,” Emminger said.

There are ways to stay aware of meningococcal B and how to recognize symptoms of the disease, according to Emminger.

“With meningococcal, one of the first steps is identifying close contacts. One thing we know about meningococcal is we need about four hours of exposure time, typically in a close environment where maybe there’s about three feet of separation,” Emminger said.

Individuals should take precaution anytime saliva is shared from one person to another person, such as when sharing drinks and meals, engaging in sexual contact and kissing, according to Emminger.

It is recommended that individuals get

vaccinated for meningococcal B, according to Emminger. The B strain vaccine, called the quadrivalent vaccine, is the typical dose that covers four different serotypes of bacteria meningitis which are the most common.

Immunization is the best way to stay protected against the disease, Emminger added.

According to Mull, the cost of a vaccine is $235 for the brand Bexsero and requires two doses. SHS also carries the brand Trumenba for students who have already received the first dose of the series, as the two cannot be used together.

“Students, or their family members, are encouraged to contact their private insurance providers to verify that the cost of the vaccine will be covered,” Mull said via email.

“When calling, it is important to let the insurance company know that the OSU Corvallis campus is in an ‘outbreak’ status, which means insurance companies should cover the cost of the vaccine.”

Restrictions may apply on where the

COVER STORY

OSU welcomes students’ families to campus Fall Family Weekend offers events, aims to maintain safety

By Sydney Sullivan, News Contributor Traditions and celebrations are in the air this month as Fall Family Weekend rolls around. Combining over 25 years of tradition, celebrating Oregon State University’s 150-year anniversary and adding new events around campus make this year especially unique in comparison to previous years.

Those who attend Fall Family Weekend are encouraged to look up the definition of family and realize that there is no one way in which everyone sees this concept, according to Delaney Stock, OSU Program Council and Fall & Spring Family Weekend Coordinator. Fall Family Weekend is to be seen as community-wide and all-inclusive.

“Fall Family Weekend is a three-day-long celebration of what family means to you, showing off our university to those who are dear to us,” Stock said in an email.

Fall Family Weekend used to be referred to as “Dad’s Weekend”, but after discussion on the matter took place amongst the OSUPC, it was decided that the event be renamed “Fall Family Weekend”. By doing so, the event name is made more inclusive for students who may not identify as having a traditional family, according to Stock.

“In recent years we have molded the weekend to fit our community’s needs, adding events such as the comedy show, a tailgate and a football-viewing party,” Stock said in an email.

Though Greek life takes up a good portion of the OSU population, the events planned for Fall Family Weekend are done

by OSUPC, not Interfraternity Council.

Greek life, in fact, does not have any formal events planned for Fall Family Weekend, according to Ian Snyder, President of the Interfraternity Council.

“All events are held by individual chapters, and most consist of barbecues and fundraisers for their chapters,” Snyder said in an email.

According to Stock, to interline with OSU’s sesquicentennial and uphold traditions, this year’s Fall Family Weekend is themed “traditions grow here”.

“The idea behind that is to celebrate the traditions that so many years of our community has brought and encourage participants to think about their own traditions in Beaver Nation,” Stock said in an email.

According to Shelly Signs, the executive director of OSU150, there will be information provided on Friday, Nov. 17 from 4-6 p.m. at the Welcome Reception in the Memorial Union Lounge for events that OSU150 are holding.

“Of particular note, the scavenger hunt on the OSU150 phone app has special challenges available only during Fall Family Weekend,” Signs said via email.

“With the scavenger hunt, participants can earn points for prizes that are available throughout the anniversary.”

Participating in the events offered by OSU150 and during Fall Family Weekend is a great way to learn about OSU’s heritage

and the many impacts that OSU community members have made historically and contemporarily, according to Signs.

“Besides the modern-day achievements that are happening today, I would like more people to know about how the people of OSU have been making a difference since we were established as Oregon’s land grant university in 1868,” Signs said in an email.

The history of OSU is deep and extensive, so one weekend is not enough time to explore it. That’s why OSU’s 150th anniversary

is being celebrated for more than a year, according to Signs.

“We’re currently finishing up elements for an exhibit that will be at the Oregon Historical Society Museum in Portland from February through September next year, and my wish is for everyone to find a time to visit during the run,” Signs said

There will be a plethora of events held by both OSU150 and OSUPC during Fall Family Weekend. OSUPC is offering traditional events as well as some new events this year to mix things up, according to Stock.

“We have added a Football Game viewing party in the Horizon room of the MU so that families have the option to watch the game in warmth, yet still get the Beaver Nation spirit that goes along with being at the game,” Stock said in an email.

In conjunction with the indoor viewing party, OSUPC and the Residence Hall Association will also be holding a tailgate event before the game on Saturday, Nov. 18, according to Stock. There will be free food and activities available for anyone who wants to attend.

My mom knows I have excellent study habits, and I would never wait until the last minute to start any school project. I probably won’t let her read this article, as it would be a bit eye-opening for her.

by Shayne Sensenbach

This is not the first time I’ve fallen to procrastination.

I try to think of procrastination in a positive way: it’s like I’m training myself to deal with stressful situations in the future. I currently have 53 minutes to turn this in, but I’m not worried — I credit my calmness to my extensive experience in procrastination.

schoolwork! Score! I spent the rest of my productive day writing a summary on the lab I had in chemistry that day.

This was mostly tedious busywork, but I was already feeling fatigued from the two projects I turned in earlier. Those two papers were my entire life for the past week at least.

After class on Tuesday, I worked on physics homework and studied for my upcoming physics midterm. On Tuesdays, I have class until 5:00 p.m., so I was working on this until I went to bed.

On Wednesday, I got out of class at 6:00 p.m., so I only had a few hours off before my 8:30 p.m. physics test. I used this time to study. Despite having zero brain function after the test, I stayed up until 1:00 a.m. studying for my chemistry exam that took place the next night.

All college students know this situation far too well. Rapidly pressing the submit button at 11:58 p.m., hoping it uploads in time. Sound familiar?

Every time it happens to me, I take a long look at myself in the mirror. “Why are you like this?” I ask myself. This time, I have a very legitimate answer.

Thursdays, I’m finished with class at 5:00 p.m., and my chemistry exam was at 7:00 p.m. I tried to study as much as possible during my two-hour break and then proceeded to turn my brain to scrambled eggs under the test pressure once again.

Pretty busy week so far, but I only had two midterms — I know people who had up to four of them this week.

This week, on Monday, I turned in a formal lab report for chemistry 263 AND my term paper for writing 121. The two projects combined for 23 pages and 6043 words… due on the same day. They were both due by noon, however, so I had time to do more PAGE | 2

Now it’s Friday. After class today, I went to a baseball game because I needed a break. Sue me. All of this prevented me from working on this article and caused my current situation: 11 more minutes to wrap it up.

Completing an assignment at the last minute is not always your fault, and you aren’t alone if you’ve experienced this. Staying on track with a full course load is a daunting enough task, but the true challenge is balancing your schoolwork with everything you actually WANT to do. Yes, all college students are constantly drowning in responsibility, and nobody ever finds a perfect balance. Here’s why.

Completely neglecting either “work” or “play” will quickly erase your title of “college student.” College students are supposed to have fun, but how much fun would it be to drop out?

Now the next logical step in the thought process: there must be an equilibrium point somewhere in the middle, right? Wrong. There is always something you will want to do, and something else that you feel obligated to do. From time to time, you will end up in the same situation I’m in now, and there isn’t much to do but just push through.

On those days, you might spend a few minutes staring blankly at your reflection in the mirror as soon as the deadline expires. This is when you should make a promise to never put yourself through this again. Okay we all know that’s BS, but I advise against intentionally waiting until 2 minutes before the deadline every single time. The bottom line is that “procrastination” can be a very useful tool to help you unwind, but it needs to be used in moderation. When you need to take a break, or put something off for the moment, don’t be too hard on yourself — it happens to everyone.

As it turns out, I had nothing to worry about. I’m finishing this up and it’s only 11:54.

Something to Buzz About

by Gabrielle Hall

Thank you for being there whenever I need you.

You support me and comfort me in everything I do.

You have made me laugh a countless number of times.

See, look what you’ve done: you’ve even made me rhyme.

I have introduced you to new people. It’s you everyone knows.

You have introduced me to new movies and even new shows.

You are so complex, so many things define you.

You have such terrific taste, believe me, it’s true.

I love how close we are. You really know what I like.

You suggest things to me, even some that I dislike.

You are constantly with me, wherever I go.­­ In Corvallis, Portland, and even Lake Oswego.

Being with you is an excuse, it’s sometimes all I need, Because without you, I’d be at the library probably trying to read.

You have introduced me to Friends.

You know, Rachel, Phoebe, and Ross.

You have also introduced me to your Undercover Boss.

Sometimes I like to watch your shows, like Bill Nye the Science Guy. But my favorite one is The Office­– it makes me laugh until I cry.

You also know how to easily waste my time, By making me watch your foolish shows, when nap time is prime.­­­ I have spent time alone with you, usually while sipping wine.

You have made me into an addict, which is never a good sign.

Sometimes I see myself in you, normally my reflection.

I don’t really relish the sight of this, I truly hate my complexion.

You play with my emotions, always making me cry.

Because in your shows, the main characters always die.

You really do affect me, that’s something I can’t deny.

But it is just so hard to let go of you, no matter how hard I try.

My only problem with you is that I like you more than my friends.

Now, this ode to you, Netflix, has sadly come to an end.

“Are you still watching?” you always say.

Yes, Netflix, I am still watching, now go ahead and press play.

Imagine a world with no fruits or vegetables. No juicy watermelons on a hot July afternoon. No apples in autumn.

No grapes (which means no wine). No french fries or potato chips. And no picking up a bag of sunflower seeds on your way to the Oregon State baseball game, because in this dystopic future, there are no more seeds to sell.

This is just a glimpse of what a world without honey bees would look like. It’s a world without trail mix, strawberries, avocados, and a wide range of other crops, from carrots to cotton. And because bees help increase the quality and quantity of coffee beans, it could be a world without good coffee. Try to imagine that.

According to the environmental organization Greenpeace, honey bees are linked to at least 80% of the world’s pollination. Bees also account for about 70 of the top 100 food crops eaten by humans, all of which supply about 90% of the world’s nutrition.

In 2014 a Presidential Memorandum on the declining health of pollinators noted that “honey bee pollination alone adds more than $15 billion in value to agricultural crops each year in the United States.” Honey bees are essential to the food we eat and to the U.S. economy.

Here’s the problem: honey bee populations are in dramatic decline.

The cause? Industrial farming practices, loss of habitat, climate change, and the use of herbicides and pesticides­—particulary neonicotinoids, which are highly toxic to bees and impair their ability to forage and reproduce.

PAGE | 4

To avoid a world without honey bees and all the benefits they bring, here is a list of steps to take: 1. Encourage elected officials and your school to ban neonicotinoids—pesticides that are especially deadly for bees.

2. Support local beekeepers, and buy their product!

3. Sponsor a bee hive with the Honeybee Conservancy.

4. Share articles and videos online and use word of mouth to inform others about the decline of bees.

5. Know that bees are more than our friends­— go learn about how essential they are to humans.

These five options are just some examples of how you can help protect the world’s bee population. These steps are specifically made so that college students and community members like you can play a role in saving the bees. If you do not have a garden to plant or money to spend on a beehive, simple advocacy can help bring attention to this pressing issue. Talk about the decline of bees with friends, family, and co-workers at community meetings—just talking about the topic can raise interest in other people who might have the funds to support the cause.

We need the bees on our side. It is our job to protect their homes and health. We are responsible for their deaths and so it’s up to us to step up and own what has happened. If we all work together, we can help save a whole species that gives communities many more benefits than just honey.

Take the steps above and then beyond by learning how to plant a bee-friendly garden. Remember, always do your best to BEE conscientious.

“The second activity is Fall Family Weekend at the Challenge Course, a program involving a series of low and high course elements at our Challenge Course facility,” Lillybridge said in an email. “It is also occurring on Saturday, Nov. 18, from 9 a.m. to noon.”

The OSU Forestry department also offers accessibility to the research forests, which are located off campus, according to Lillybridge.

“Local hikes include locations like Chip Ross Park (also referred to as Dimple Hill), the McDonald-Dunn Forest, Peavy Arboretum and Bald Hill,” Lillybridge said via email.

Furthermore, the Corvallis area offers several hiking destinations further from the OSU campus, according to Lillybridge. Such locations include Alsea Falls, Finley Wildlife Refuge and Marys Peak.

According to Lisa Romano, Marys Peak public affairs officer, Marys peak is scored with multiple trails of varying difficulty levels.

Marys Peak has two hiking trails that lead up and around the summit.

“One thing I like about the upper section (of Marys Peak) is that you get these huge sweeping views of the Willamette Valley and the Cascade Range, and you can see the ocean on a clear day. It’s really fantastic,” Romano said. “And in the lower section, if you

follow the parking lot into the woods, it pops you out into a meadow. And it’s quite serene.”

Due to elevation, the weather at the top of Marys peak could be questionable, especially at this time of year, according to Romano.

“Weather can be completely different up there from down here. It can be raining down here but completely sunny up there. So my advice is to be prepared,” Romano said. “A lucky person will catch one of these days where we’re all fogged in and cold and miserable and up there the sun is shining down on the fog and the clouds. It’s a really neat view.”

According to Romano, the elevation change is enough that Marys peak is already seeing its first signs of snow.

“People were reporting they could see snow on Marys peak. It’s a really neat place to be in the snow,” Romano said. “People ski and cross country ski, they snowboard, ssnowshoe.”

Romano warns, however, that the road leading up to the peak is not maintained during the winter months.

“We see many cars in ditches and on the side of the road,” Romano said.

Throughout the year, the Marys peak staff work to manage a sustainable recreational, wildlife and timber facility.

The McDonald-Dunn Forest is a part of the OSU research forests project, according to the Research Forest Webpage.

According to Ryan Brown, the recreation and engagement programs manager for the college forests, OSU research forests are fullydeveloped and functional systems that the

community can search and explore. Within “Look up the ‘10 essential items’ to take the research forests sits Peavy Arboretum, with you while hiking, like a compass.

OSU’s defense makes a tackle against Minnesota on Sept. 9. The Beavers have allowed 4,647 yards on defense this year, an average of over 460 yards a game.

Beaver football ran over by Arizona

Giving up 534 rushing yards to Wildcats, OSU looks to rebound against Arizona State, take first conference win

By Gunnar Boag, Sports Contributor On the first drive of the game, Arizona quarterback Khalil Tate marched the Wildcat offense down the field to take an early 7-0 lead—and they never looked back.

Like many other teams this season, the Oregon State defense had no answer for the Arizona offense. The Wildcats piled on 534 rushing yards, with 384 of them coming in the first half. Tate alone had 206 rushing yards and two touchdowns.

The game was out of hand early, as the Beavers found themselves down 28-0 at halftime. With only 82 yards in the first half, interim head coach Cory Hall was looking at his largest deficit since taking over.

The Beavers found the majority of their offensive success in the second half. Senior quarterback Darell Garretson finished the game with a career-high four touchdown passes and 209 yards through

the air. Running back Ryan Nall finished the game with 95 rushing yards, moving him to ninth in the all-time rushing yards at Oregon State.

Tight end Noah Togiai ended the game with 56 receiving yards and one touchdown.

On the defensive side, Safety Jalen Moore led the team with nine solo tackles.

Going into the game, linebacker Manase Hungalu had been named the Pac-12’s defensive player of the week for his 20-tackle performance against Cal the previous weekend. However, Hungalu’s performance against Arizona was noticebly less impactful. He finished the game with six tackles.

Arizona would finish the game with only 68 passing yards—but their run game all but made up for the lack of productivity through the air. Three Wildcat players

ran for over 100 yards, setting the school record in total rushing yards. Arizona finished with 543 yards on the ground.

The Beaver defense only forced one punt all night and snagged an interception in the first quarter.

The loss drops the Beavers to 1-9 on the season and 0-7 in the Pac-12. This is Oregon State’s 18th road loss in a row, stemming from the 2014 season. The Beavers next opportunity at a road win will be against Oregon in the Civil War, or they must for the 2018 season opener against Ohio State.

The Beavers have two more games to avoid going win-less in the Pac-12 for the second time in three years. Without a win, Oregon State faces the worst finish to a season since 1995.

For now, Oregon State looks forward to a home showdown with Arizona State on

The last time the two teams met was back in November of 2014, when the Beavers upset the No. 6 ranked Sun Devils.

Senior Mary-Kate Marshall has led the team in kills 25 out of 28 matches this season.

Beaver volleyball sweeps Arizona schools, moves up in Pac-12 By the Baro Staff

The Oregon State volleyball team defeated Arizona State in a five-set match Saturday night. This win completed OSU’s first road sweep against both Arizona and Arizona State since 1993 and marks the first time the Beavers have gone 4-0 against the Arizona schools in a season since 1990.

The Beavers, who moved to 19-9 overall and 9-7 in the Pac-12, have won eight of their last 10 matches.

“I was very concerned about this matchup,” head coach Mark Barnard said. “They are a scrappy team and they’ve been playing well plus they had the emotion of senior night. That was a gutsy win for us. We didn’t play our best tonight and still came away with the win.”

Senior outside hitter Mary-Kate Marshall, who has led the Beavers in kills in 25 out of 28 matches in 2017, once again led the squad with 21 kills. Maddie Goings added 17 kills and Kory Cheshire posted nine. Grace Massey tallied a team-leading 18 digs while Serena Bruin came off the bench to post a season-high seven blocks to go with a season-best seven kills.

Arizona State won the first set 25-19, but the Beavers were able to pull out a win in the second set 25-17.

ASU took a 14-5 lead in the third. Trailing 17-10, the Beavers began a comeback behind Kylee McLaughlin’s serving. OSU went on a 6-0 run that included four blocks

including three by Bruin to close the gap to 17-15. After a string of sideouts, the Beavers again pressed forward with Goings recording back-to-back kills to tie the score at 20-20. The score remained tied at 24 until ASU scored the final two points to take the set 26-24.

The Sun Devils took a 10-6 lead to stay in the fourth set, but four kills by Marshall sandwiched around a Bruin kill brought the Beavers back even at 13-13. OSU took a lead for the final time at 19-18 on a kill by Haylie Bennett and OSU went on to win the set 25-19.

“Winning the fourth set was vital, obviously, but I knew then that we could pull out the win,” Barnard said. “I knew that if we could come back and get that set that we would have the momentum to pull through.”

Oregon State came out strong in the beginning of the fifth set with Bennett recorded her first of three blocks in the short set to give the Beavers a 3-2 lead. OSU eventually took a 14-8 lead, but ASU fought off three match points before McLaughlin went on the attack to record the final kill to give OSU the set, 15-11.

Oregon State has completed its road matches for the year. The Beavers will be back in Gill Coliseum this week to face Washington on Friday, Nov. 17, and Washington State on Sunday, Nov. 19.

Men’s soccer wins to close season By the Baro Staff

Going down by two goals at halftime against No. 20 Washington, the Beavers’ hopes of winning their final game of the season were looking slim.

Then, following three goals in the first 10 minutes of the second half, the Beavers were able to pull off the comeback and hold on to win 4-3.

“We had to do some makeup work after going down by two,” said head coach Steve Simmons. “Which the guys did. We challenged them at halftime, they came out and went right after it. We knew Washington was going to come right back so I’m glad we got the insurance goal.”

The Beavers finish the season with an overall record of 7-11-0, and a conference record of 4-6-0.

Andre Earthy-Find opened the scoring for the Beavers from the left edge of the keeper’s box in the 50th minute. Earthy-Find took the one-timer that managed its way through the keeper. OSU scored again in the 54th minute

after a corner from freshman Joe Hafferty was deflected to the far post and got corralled by senior Jalen Markey who placed the shot between the legs of the keeper.

Jordan Jones took command shortly after, taking a feed from sophomore Loke Strenov on the right wing and slipping his shot past a diving Kerawala in the 56th minute for a 3-2 Beaver lead.

Jones put away the game-winner in 77th minute after a pass from Washington was intercepted by sophomore transfer Michael Swift. Jones took a pass in stride and put the shot in off the left post from 15 yards out for a 4-2 lead.

Washington had the quick response twenty seconds later after Kyle Coffee headed home a finisher from Justin Fiddes, but the defense went on lockdown in the final 15 minutes to preserve the 4-3 decision.

Goalkeeper Ryan Vincent took the win for OSU after making six saves.

According to Triplett, the club takes basic business skills and applies them to social causes through marketing and budgeting. The students take what they have learned and try to help people improve their businesses.

“We primarily work with College of Business students, but any students that want to get involved should do so because we can utilize the different perspectives and skills that students from other colleges might have,”Triplett said.

According to Noakes, coming to Haiti to do short-term things creates a false sense of hope to the residents because there is no sustainability or follow-up. The program is really strengthening the capacity of Haitians and their well-being overall.

“I think the students are learning a model of partnership and that gives a lot more dignity and empowerment to the people,”Noakes said.

“It’s one thing to tell someone about what we do until you’re blue in the face, but to actually go down and see the impact that it’s having is incredible.”

According to Caruso, most of her students are excited about the project because it is starting a business from scratch. The skills students learn are going into a reallife project that is going out into the world and is something meaningful that will affect real people.

“For students I think it’s a really great opportunity to put some of those skills into practice and to get some real business experience while they’re still in school,” Caruso said. “For people in Haiti it’s all about job creation, it’s important to not just give aid and to give charity, but to actually develop the economy and give opportunities for people to hold jobs.”

Continued from page 12 the Empower Haiti Together program is welcome, according to Noakes. Business students are not the only students allowed to sign up for the trips. The trips are normally held over breaks in December and June for 10 days at a time, Noakes added.

“We have one coming up over winter break and we’re going to be further enhancing the skill sets of our community health workers that we’re training on how to take blood pressures, as we’re working to help manage hypertension in rural Haiti,” Noakes said. “We’re also going to be doing a blood drive with the Haitian Red Cross. Even if you’re from a different major, there’s tons of ways to get plugged in based on your passions and skill sets.”

Lauren Caruso, the College of Business program manager, is also the 16X faculty advisor. According to Caruso, 16X is a social entrepreneurship club for students to solve real-world problems by using the skills they picked up in the classroom through business.

16X has teamed up with Noakes and the Empower Haiti program to create the Port to Port food truck.

“That’s always been the focus of the club and this continues to just be another social enterprise that we can start that students can get experience and we can make an impact,” Caruso said. “The focus has been the same, this idea of social entrepreneurship and how do we use business to change the world in a positive way?”

Meningococcal Continued from page 5

vacine can be received, but the SHS will assist with students in discussing and working with private insurance plans, according to Mull.

Students can also access vaccines at SHS and the OSU Pharmacy in Plageman Hall at any time. Other community pharmacies, clinics and primary care providers can provide vaccines upon request as well, Mull added.

The SHS and Benton County Health Department have started to mobilize and are encouraging individuals to be aware of symptoms and seek medical care if they are noted, according to Emminger. Health care providers are also under alert of the incidence of meningococcal B disease and to consider it when evaluating patients with appropriate symptoms. Benton County Health is also working with OSU, health providers and community partners to set up clinics while also providing education on the disease, Emminger added.

“Those are some things public health is

doing, educating healthcare providers in the community on signs and symptoms for meningococcal infection, equating care providers on what the short term and long term regime should be, so getting antibiotics early,” Emminger said. “Making medical providers who may have not seen a meningococcal case in many years, making them aware of the signs and symptoms and what’s going on in the community so they can be on alert.”

According to Emminger, with meningococcal, signs and symptoms can be high fevers, headaches, a stiff neck, exhaustion, nausea rashes, and vomiting. A blood infection involving meningococcal usually involves a fever and a rash and is most susceptible if a person has spent at least four hours in close face-to-face time with a person infected with meningococcal B disease.

“Anyone who has any signs or symptoms of meningococcal disease should go and see their medical provider or emergency room right away,” Emminger said. “Don’t wait for that to evolve because the sooner we get someone on antibiotics, the more likely they’re not going to develop the more serious symptoms.”
