MI RAND A GRACE CROWELL | OMN ARCHI VES The Oregon State University campus saw enough snowfall to shut down campus for a day in 2017. With the effects of climate change, however, Oregon is seeing less snowfall and more rainfall.

Rising Oregon temperatures turn annual snowfall to rainfall

By JAMES TROTTER News Contributor

With climate change surfacing as a hot topic in media and political discussions, Oregonians are already seeing differences in winter temperature and precipitation distribution.

As Corvallis heads into its winter season, Oregon State researchers analyze the impacts of longer wildfire seasons and rising temperatures on local Oregon forests and wildlife, finding a potential for lasting negative impacts.

Meghan Dalton, a climate researcher with the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute, said that winters in Oregon have been warming at a rate of approximately 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit per century since 1896.

“The winter of 2014-15 was the warmest winter of these recent years at 6.5 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th century average,” Dalton said via email.

“Temperature since the beginning of this water year (which started October 1, 2018), has been warmer than normal in western and northeast Oregon, generally where the mountains are.”

Dalton went on to say that, given these statistics and local context, it is too soon to tell how this winter will turn out. Temperatures in the Pacific Ocean have been favorable for the development of an El Niño in the coming 6 months, which has the potential to make warmer and drier weather in Oregon.

Karen Shell, associate professor of atmospheric science and climate science program head, said that rising temperatures negatively affect the amount of snow falling and resulting snowpack levels in the Pacific Northwest, although it is uncertain whether the total amount of precipitation is changing.

According to Shell, snowpacks normally produced by winter snowfall act as a source of water for forested areas as they melt in the Spring and Summer. However, due to an increase in rain and a decrease of snow, that supply of water to forests is limited.

“The melt occurs earlier, so forests are getting drier, which means they’re more susceptible to wildfires,” Shell said. “So actually the wildfire season is starting earlier than it used to because forests are getting drier.”

AARON TRASK | OMN ARCHIVES Mary’s Peak can be seen blanketed in snow during certain times of the year. Less snow due to warmer temperatures are causing smaller snowpacks, resulting in less moisture available to forests during the spring and summer months.

According to Dalton, snowpack has declined in Oregon by 37 percent on average between 1955 and 2015. The lack of snowpack paired with a drier spring caused the 2015 wildfire season to be the largest recorded in the Pacific Northwest, with 1.6 million acres burned across Oregon and Washington.

Overall reduced snowpack also leads to decreased fresh water in streams, with agriculture as well as local wildlife suffering, according to Shell.

Boone Kauffman, professor of senior research with the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, said that the increases in greenhouse gases and increased droughts raises the question of how local biota, or natural communities, will respond.

“We do know that if we get longer drought periods, we’re going to see less base flow, warmer streams, and that’s going to have profound impacts on iconic species like salmon,” Kauffman said. “Coldwater species are going to disappear from many of the watersheds of the pacific northwest.”

The largest contributors to these climate changes are the burning of fossil fuels, followed by deforestation and loss of forest cover, according to Kauffman. Fossil fuel emissions account for 80 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, and deforestation the other 15-20 percent,

said Kauffman. Significant sources of fossil fuel emissions in the Pacific Northwest range from transportation. Methane released by livestock is another significant source of greenhouse gases according to Kauffman.

Kauffman believes the most important thing that an individual can do to reverse the effects of climate change is vote for politicians supporting climate-friendly policies.

“Vote for politicians that will do something in terms of policy that will truly move our society and global society following the Paris climate accords that are aimed a limiting changes due to climate change. ” Kauffman said. “The United States was the only country that, sad to say embarrassingly, has dropped out. We need to leading the world in addressing climate change - USA needs to be a leader, Oregon could be a leader.”

In Kauffman’s opinion, if Oregon adopted meaningful carbon emission reduction policies, it could be one of the few states to achieve carbonneutral status through improved forest and public land management policies. Kauffman thinks policies extending timber rotations on public lands and protecting old growth forests, which act as greenhouse gas sinks, would yield positive effects as well.

Additional policies, Kauffman said, relating to

decreasing livestock grazing on public land could aid in balancing greenhouse gas emissions in the western USA. “So much of our land use today exacerbates the impacts of climate change through over-grazing, abusive grazing practices,” Kauffman said. Grazing removes forest cover over rivers thus impairing water quality and increasing stream temperatures.

“Removing livestock grazing from public lands would greatly improve carbon sequestration in the rangelands of the public lands as well as improve water quality and quantity in these critical time.”

Oregon State University’s climate change research is something that students and staff can all be proud of, Kauffman said.

“Oregon State has long been a leader in some tremendous climate change research,” Kauffman said. “We’re preparing our students through courses like Global Change Biology to meet challenges of climate change in the future.”

Global Change Biology, a course taught

by Kauffman, studies the impact of a changing climate on natural systems and highlights actions that can be taken to slow widespread climate change.

As individuals, there are changes people can make to their lifestyles to reduce their carbon footprints, such as using alternative transportation, biking places instead of driving, lowering meat intake and having fewer children, but these need to come with policy changes as local state and national levels, according to Kauffman.

If Oregonians collectively do not take action against climate change, things are going to get a lot worse than they are now, according to Kauffman.

“We really need to highlight the need for students today to do something, the time to do something is now, or it’s really going to really, really affect your careers and certainly your children’s careers,” Kauffman said. “Your generation and future generations are going to depend on natural resources, and the cards are stacked against you right now if we don’t become carbon neutral by about 2050 or so. With threats to sea level rising and acidification and increasing temperatures and storms, we’re going to see some pretty difficult scenarios emerge in the coming 50 years.”

VAD A SHELBY | ORANGE MED I A NETWORK The new building is set to use cross-laminated timber so it can counter pressure from strongwinds and potential large earthquakes that can threaten the structure.

New Peavy Hall design to showcase industry’s future

By VADA SHELBY News Contributor

In early 2019, OSU will have a new forestry building, complete with “rocking wood.”

It will have the same name - Peavy Hall - as the previous forestry building before it, which was torn down almost two years ago.

According to Geoff Huntington, director of strategic initiatives at OSU, this building will display a unique type of design with structural integrity needed to allow the building to be reoccupied after an earthquake. The new Peavy Hall will include a new type of engineered plywood and cross laminated panels, along with a variety of wood products all sourced within 300 miles of campus. Those involved with the design aimed to use a new type of material to improve sustainability and increase earthquake resistance.

“It has been our intention to demonstrate the capabilities and the future of our important wood products industry here in Oregon,” Huntington said.

At the start of this project, many questions remained regarding the qualities of the unique wood being used in the new Peavy Hall.

Arijit Sinha, associate professor of renewable

materials at OSU, conducted many tests on the material, called mass plywood panel (MPP). It is made up of sheets of wood layered together parallel to one another, and sometimes perpendicular. It is able to be stacked higher than other forms of plywood attributable to the new infrastructure invested in by Freres Lumber Company, MPP’s manufacturers, as well as the design of the panels. MPP has also been shown to have a strong ability to withstand seismic events and has performed well with cyclic loads, according to Sinha.

MPP is shipped in smaller portions than what it is used in, and Sinha and his team of undergraduate and graduate students had to make sure the product could function as promised once assembled. A display near the construction site explains that the “rocking wood technology” in MPP creates stronger buildings with more secure foundations and with less repairs needed after natural disasters.

The term “rocking wood” is used to describe the cross-laminated timber used in making MPP, because it can counter the pressure given by strong winds or earthquakes.

When the construction of Peavy Hall is complete, it will be the first building in the United States to feature rocking wood.

Most of the wood’s strength comes from the connected foundations. The foundation of the new Peavy Hall is made up of concrete, with self-centering rods that run through the timber in the shape of the letter U. Sinha believes there are many advantages to this type of wood, including sustainability and economic stimulus.

“Wood is a renewable material with lower

embodied energy and carbon footprint than other alternative materials and hence, is a natural choice for buildings with enhanced sustainability goals,” Sinha said. “Mass timber elements such as MPP have high strengths to weight ratio which is a big advantage. MPP is coming from local producers in the region who by virtue of establishing these respective manufacturing facilities has created jobs and provided a huge economic driver in a predominantly rural area.”

Andersen Construction Agency, graduate students, OSU professors and many volunteers from inside and outside of the university have been working to help make this project happen.

Although there have been bumps in the road, the new Peavy Hall will be open to the public

by February 2019.

University program aids students from migrant backgrounds to encourage timely graduation CAMP is a grant-based federally funded program that helps with financial assistance, workshops, housing assistance and tutoring

By JADA KRENING News Contributor Each year, a cohort of 35 first-years join OSU, after overcoming a childhood spent in many places in search of work, as part of the College Assistance Migrant Program.

CAMP is a grant-based federally funded program that aims to assist students who come from a migrant background of farm working.

The term migrant refers to those who move from location to location to find work, often seasonal work. The program provides funding for first year students, in addition to counseling, tutoring, workshops, financial assistance and housing assistance. The program serves approximately 2,000 students every year.

At Oregon State University, these students come from a primarily Latino background, and are from various corners of Oregon -the Willamette Valley, central Oregon, the Columbia River Gorge and eastern Oregon, to name a few. Most are first generation students whose parents have little to no educational background, according to the director of CAMP, Amas Aduviri.

“We used to do, every year, a demographic survey, and it never failed,” Aduviri said. “About 98 percent plus of CAMP students’ parents never went to college, and very few graduated from high school. Because of that, participants’ parents information about higher education is very limited -- when to apply for college, what scholarships are available, the first year in college, etc.”

As a result of limited information in many migrant communities, CAMP sends a recruiter to contact students who are eligible for the program. Recruiters travel across the state,

visiting schools and attending various events in migrant and Latino communities in order to inform students and their families about CAMP and attending college.

One of the students recruited by CAMP is Anita Acevedo, a first-year student studying general engineering. Growing up in a migrant background, her mother and her moved around until they settled in Philomath, Ore. when she was five years old. There, her mother continues to work in agriculture, helping with a holiday tree business and working for a nearby farm.

Acevedo was deciding between OSU or LinnBenton Community College, and ultimately chose OSU because of CAMP. She describes the benefit CAMP has had on her transition to college, especially being the only student in the program from Philomath.

“It helps us as a group -- there’s like 35 of us students -- get together and just feel like we belong in a certain group,” Acevedo said.

“Because in general, I was kind of an outcast for a little bit, because I was the only one that came from Philomath. But I’m really close with a lot of them now, and it’s pretty cliche, but it pretty much is like a family.”

Acevedo also described the resources and mentorship available to the CAMP students on campus, including meeting with a student mentor once a week, attending a CAMP class and designated study tables, in addition to various workshops, ranging from topics like leadership characteristics to sexual health education.

CAMP students also have their own academic counselor, Alexsandra Cortés. Cortés describes her main responsibility as supporting students, specifically so they can be successful

in their first year at OSU -- academically, socially and emotionally.

“They have me as their academic counselor, so I can work with them one-on-one, really as often as they need,” Cortés said.

The CAMP program has two stated objectives, established by the U.S. Department of Education. The first is to ensure that 86 percent of CAMP students finish their first year of college with good academic standing, and the second is that at least 85 percent of students will enroll in a second year of college.

According to Aduviri, OSU CAMP has two main objectives which are the number of students who finish their first year in good academic standing and complete 36 credits and the number of students who return to OSU for their second year of college. To date, CAMP is able to meet those goals: they typically see about 90-95 percent finish the first objective, and about 95-100 finish the second.

CAMP was originally brought to OSU in the 1980s, but lost the federal funding until 2004, when it was reestablished. Since then, the program has had their funding renewed after each five-year cycle. Aduviri is currently in the process of reapplying for the federal grant, which is due to expire at the end of this academic year. Aduviri considers the migrant farm worker community to be one of the most underserved in the country, and shared his hope for the renewal of the program, in addition to its importance to the OSU community.

“I think OSU benefits from having this group of students coming here to OSU, because a high percentage of the students graduate within the six-years and some become leaders in their fields,” Aduviri said. “I was just

Cortes described one of the greatest impacts of the program as helping families understand the transition to college, especially when students are first generation, in addition to building the confidence of the students in the program.

“Just helping them understand that OSU is for them, and CAMP is here to help them with anything,” Cortes said. “Even if it’s past their first year, we’re still along to help them. Help them get comfortable, and make OSU their home for a while.”

‘Real Talk’ off the field

NEWS

Minority student athletes share experiences to form a community

By JADA KRENING News Contributor

Real Talk, a program led by the StudentAthlete Development branch of Oregon State University Athletics, meets bi-weekly and was created to help foster community and create a safe space for minority student-athletes at OSU to share their experiences.

Meetings typically begin with food and mingling among students, and later segway into a designated discussion topic. Oftentimes, a video is shown or a number of powerpoint slides are presented. Then, student-athletes are free to discuss the topic among themselves.

Discussion topics include conversations about race and colorism, political issues like gun control, as well as with lighter topics like new songs or the NBA finals. Yet, one of the most pertinent topics include discussions surrounding the racial injustices which some student-athletes have encountered both at OSU and outside of the university.

Jamaal May, Student-Athlete Development Coordinator, and one of the staff members who facilitates and oversees Real Talk, states that meetings typically average around 30 students in attendance, but says the group has seen up to 60.

“We joke around and say that our studentathletes are just in this bubble in athletics,” May said. “But it’s interesting to hear some of the things that you may not know your teammates are facing or experiencing once they go to class, or once they leave campus. These are real things that are happening, so it’s important that we learn these things in order to become better allies, better teammates and better friends.”

Real Talk initially began as a Diversity and Inclusion Initiative program for minority students specifically, yet the program has since expanded to encompass both minority studentathletes and their allies, in addition to students from the general student population.

Caleb Michael, a fourth-year studying speech communication and former men’s soccer team member, started attending Real Talk when it was first established in fall 2017.

He began taking on a leadership role with the group after giving a presentation about Black History Month, and now helps facilitate and lead discussions. He describes his involvement as cathartic, since it allows him to decompress and speak about topics and experiences that may not be discussed otherwise.

“It’s a space where our voices are heard, because a lot of times on a PWI -- a predominately white institution -- people of color’s voices may not be heard to the same extent of some of their white counterparts,” Michael said. “So having a space like this is important, because people can really express themselves.”

Isis Lowery, a third-year studying digital communication arts and a member of OSU gymnastics, is a regular member of Real Talk.

Growing up in Australia and identifying as

a mixed person of color, Lowery describes the positive impact her involvement in Real Talk has had, since it has allowed her to connect with other students who have encountered similar struggles.

“I felt like I had to identify as either white or black, and I never felt like I fit in somewhere because I was mixed,” Lowery said. “Being able to go to Real Talk and talk about these things -other people are like, ‘hey, I’ve been there too.’”

Ultimately, May encourages both minority and white students to attend Real Talk, despite the fact that some may feel uncomfortable discussing topics like racism and discrimination, stating that the most growth comes from situations where one feels uncomfortable.

“Some of the conversations, and some of the stories that our student-athletes tell, whether it’s experiences that happened here or experiences happening growing up, they may make you uncomfortable,” May said. “You hear these things, but that’s your teammates’ reality, you know?”

May also emphasized the importance of

understanding privilege, and encouraging those who are least affected by racism or discrimination to speak out on the part of the oppressed.

“I think we all have a responsibility when it comes to creating change,” May said.

May was a student-athlete himself, playing football at Georgia State University, and attending graduate school at University of Central Florida prior to taking a position at OSU. He explained how different his experience as a student-athlete was, being in two large cities rather than a college town like Corvallis.

He also stated that hearing the experiences of OSU’s minority student-athletes in Real Talk has encouraged him to advocate and strive to create a positive and inclusive atmosphere in athletics as a member of the OSU faculty.

“I believe it furthers my purpose of being out here,” May said. “When you’re in an area where you don’t see that many people that look like you, or you’re part of an underrepresented group, I think it’s good to see someone in my role, and somebody working in this role or

helping to lead a group like Real Talk. Because a lot of times, it’s out of sight, out of mind.”

Ultimately, Lowery described the importance of Real Talk to the OSU community, since it allows students to hear a broad range of perspectives and develop new ideas.

“I think the thing I like most about Real Talk is that everyone has something different to say, and we all come from so many different backgrounds and sports,” Lowery said. “It’s just really awesome to hear everyone’s point of view, and I go out of Real Talk every time with a better understanding of certain things.”

May also touched on this point, along with the importance of a group like Real Talk to both the OSU community and society as a whole.

“Some things will never change with society, and we understand that,” May said. “But the better we try to understand each other’s experiences, and why we are the way we are -- understand where each other has come from, why we think the way we do, just having conversations -- I think that will better impact not only OSU’s campus, but society overall.”

The OSU CARS club modifies ride-on toy cars, making them into mobility devices for kids with disabilities

Go Baby Go aims to improve lives of kids living with disabilities

Program modifies ride-on cars in place of motorized wheelchairs

By JAYCEE KALAMA News Contributor Oregon State University is known as a leading research university, with a wide variety of different kinds of research conducted on campus. The Go Baby Go program is just one of the many significant contributions that the college of Public Health and Human Sciences makes to the university’s scientific research.

The college’s focus is to study individuals across the life course, focus on health equity, address health disparities and conduct both basic and applied research, including research on the translation of public health programs to real-world settings.

One program at OSU, called Go Baby Go, was introduced to the College of Public Health and Human Sciences in 2014, under the direction of Assistant Professor Sam Logan. Go Baby

Go is a community-based, national research, design and outreach program that provides modified ride-on cars to children from birth to age three who experience limited mobility.

This program provides modified ride-on cars to families not only in living in Corvallis, but all around the state of Oregon.

Go Baby Go provides an affordable solution for the ongoing struggle of finding commercially available electric wheelchairs for young children.

“There is no commercially available device for this age group and so for a couple hundred dollars, with the modifications, supplies and the cars, it’s all inclusive, we can provide that gap in technology,” Logan said. “There is a lot of research that suggests that when children are provided access to these kinds of powered mobility devices, whether it’s motorized wheelchairs or modified rise-on cars, that they expe-

rienced developmental benefits like physical, communication and social skills.”

Kinesiology students in the CARS club modifies the ride-on cars to accommodate specific limitations. PVC pipes are used to create structure and stability to the cars, large activation buttons are added to the steering wheels for easy activation and stop and go coordination, seatbelts are added for children who need extra trunk support, as well as many other modifications that vary on the child using the car.

The club makes the general modifications and later individualizes it for the child that will be receiving the car.

Vice President of CARS club and member of the Social Mobility Lab, Christina Cafferata, who is also a third-year kinesiology major, has been able to participate in multiple experiences through the club to help prepare her for her goal of becoming a physical therapist. She has

also seen the direct effect of CARS’ work on the lives of children who were previously unable to move around on their own.

“I’ve been able to attend a workshop for physical therapists as well as a workshop at OHSU where children were given cars, along with numerous other outreach events on the OSU campus,” Cafferata said. “I’ve learned to modify ride-on cars and I get to see children with disabilities moving independently for the first time ever.”

“These events not only greatly improved my public speaking skills, but have also motivated me to keep working hard in school so I can become a physical therapist,” Cafferata said.

The Social Mobility lab conducts the research portion of Go Baby Go and does a variety of projects.

For example, one project specifically focuses on the attitudes of families and caregivers towards children with disabilities, social mobility, or self-directed mobility. The Social Mobility lab looks at the attitudes of those families that are receiving the cars and how it impacts the children’s access to the ride-on cars that are offered. They provide the cars to families in need, then checks back in a couple months later to figure out how much the child used the car. This allows them to recognize what factors impacted how little or how much they used the ride-on car.

Jenna Fitzgerald, a fourth-year public health major with an option in health promotion and health behavior, took on student research in the Social Mobility lab her first year of college.

“I think that what we’re going to get from

this study is many different things, but one that we are going to find is the way Go Baby Go supports communities. For example, constantly checking up on families will give us an idea of how much the children are using the cars,” Fitzgerald said.

Fitzgerald hopes that her research will make the Go Baby Go program more suitable to the lives of the families who could benefit from them, and ultimately improve the lives of children with mobility disabilities.

“My work with this specific project is hopefully, in the future, going to help structure the way Go Baby Go functions in terms of improving the experience that families have with the program,” Fitzgerald said. “Hopefully by doing that, it will help to facilitate the use of these cars which will improve the development of these children.”

Go Baby Go provides an option for families who cannot afford electric wheelchairs for their child, especially when children are constantly growing and may grow out of their wheelchair.

The program has many working parts that make it such an important role in so many families.

Whether it is the construction of the cars or the research behind it, Go Baby Go is a significant contributor to the access of motorized transportation for young children with disabilities.

OSU Women’s Basketball takes down Washington Huskies despite team injuries Beavers lose Kat Tudor for season, Destiny Slocum has career game

By JARRED BIERBRAUER OMN Sports Chief Oregon State Women’s Basketball earned their second conference win this Sunday when they took down the Washington Huskies in Gill Coliseum with a final score of 78-67.

The No. 11 Beavers stand with Oregon and Stanford as the remaining undefeated teams in the Pac-12, while also hoisting an overall record of 12-2.

According to OSU Head Coach Scott Rueck, junior guard Kat Tudor, who did not participate in the game against Washington, will be out for the season due to a leg injury she had suffered in their previous game. With Tudor out, the Beavers now only have nine active players out of 12 on the roster.

“Notre Dame won the national title with seven players last year, I’ve had years with nine, I’ve had years with 10 and 11, it doesn’t do me

any good to be concerned, it just does good to figure out this puzzle now,” Rueck said.

Rueck added that he had subbed himself in at practice the day before the game to help make sure things went smoothly.

In the game, redshirt sophomore guard Destiny Slocum exploded for a career-high 30 points, also putting up seven total rebounds and six assists in the process. Slocum went 5-9 from the three point line, helping eclipse her previous personal scoring record of 25 points.

“I just prepared all weekend to get to the rim, score, get to the next, I think that’s what my mindset what right off the bat,” Slocum said.

“To create open shots and to get our offense flowing.”

In just her second in-conference game in the Pac-12, Slocum added that every game matters and that the conference in the best in the country.

Oregon State jumped off to an early lead, putting up 19 points in the first quarter with 12

coming from Slocum. OSU held a comfortable lead until the late in the third quarter, when Washington brought the score to within four points at 44-40.

On the other side of the court, UW guard Amber Melgoza put up 20 points and seven total rebounds, shooting 37.5 percent from the floor. Melgoza was the only Husky to play for over 30 minutes.

According to Rueck, the team had a hard time dictating where Washington was going on the court.

“They’re going to be aggressive. They’re going to do what they do, which is attack and shoot and try to push a transition, and that’s what they did, we allowed that,” Rueck said.

After allowing just 11 points in the first quarter, the OSU defense continued to slope downward on Washington’s side of the court, allowing 15, 19 then 22 points in the remaining quarters. Rueck added that they are still in the process of finding a player who will step up as

the defensive leader on the team.

“We’re still searching for an identity, which is who we are all the time,” Rueck said. “At times, we’ve proven that we can be excellent, and other times we’ve proven to be not good on that end where we let them get comfortable.”

Sophomore forward Taya Corosdale also did her part to against the Huskies, grabbing 14 total rebounds and sinking a trio of three pointers to help OSU gain the win. Junior guard Mikayla Pivec also chimed in with 17 points and five rebounds.

“I think our team is really tough and we have this chip on our shoulder, that’s our mentality,” Corosdale said. “We’re a target. People want to beat us, so we have to hit people and we’re going to get hit too, so we just have this fight back mentality.”

Oregon State’s next game will be on Friday, Jan. 11 at UCLA. Game time is set to start at 7 p.m.

Athletes from abroad face unique challenges before they even play

I

By ELIZABETH CASEY Practicum Contributor

nternational student-athletes at Oregon State University face a unique set of challenges when they arrive on campus.

Student-athletes must succeed both physically as an NCAA Division One athlete and academically as a university student. In addition to that, they are studying in a foreign country and could possibly be experiencing the effects of culture shock. Regardless of where they are from, international student-athletes experience the same forms of stress and frustration universally.

Daniela Vargas, a fourth-year on the OSU volleyball team, has experienced plenty of frustration with living in a foreign country.

Trained as a dancer, Vargas only became interested in volleyball after her father, a former National volleyball captain, introduced her to his teammates.

Vargas was a member of the Costa Rican National Team, but wanted to further her education in the United States. She took the initiative to reach out to American coaches and joined OSU’s volleyball team four years ago.

Since then, she has developed a close group of friends whom she says are like her family here.

According to the NCAA, student-athletes must maintain a GPA of 2.3, which for Vargas was a new concept.

“Back home (in Costa Rica), you pass and you pass.” Vargas said. “There is no GPA back home. That doesn’t exist…You pass the class, you get an eighty-five... Here, it’s a B, and you’re lowering the team average...

Staying on track with all of my assignments and trying to get them in on time, I’d say has been the most challenging.”

Vargas’ OSU family helps her handle the annoyance of balancing everything, as well as provides her with a buffer against homesickness.

“Homesick never goes away,” Vargas said. “(I’ve been) homesick for four years. Never goes away.”

Similarly, Rachel Walters from Jamaica and Kate Evans from England, both on the women’s soccer team, experienced varying forms of homesickness, whether it was due to the drastic change in weather and food or the difference in team members. However, just as with Vargas, they too found a second home with their teammates.

Another issue that can affect an international student-athlete’s experience is the possibility of injury. For students who are attending on an athletic scholarship, an injury could affect their ability to continue their education. According to the NCAA, athletic scholarships can be withdrawn due to underperformance or injury.

Sebastian Briski, a first-year football player from American Samoa, is recovering from injuries that occurred earlier this year. Due to the nature of his injuries, Briski has been unable to practice with the team.

“Being a first-year, I’m trying to make a good impression on the team,” Briski said.

“And not being able to show them what I

can do has been stressful.”

Common concerns among the international student-athlete community include the language and cultural differences between their home country and the U.S. Paula Diaz Leblic from Spain and Loke Strenov from Denmark, both OSU soccer players, found that dealing with American culture has been the most trying experience for them. Diaz Leblic finds writing her assignments in English to be the most time-consuming task.

According to Diaz Leblic, when dealing with writing assignments, what would take an American student around thirty minutes to write, takes her much longer. Strenov, on the other hand, found expressing himself in English to be the biggest challenge.

“The culture and how you grew up is also a little bit different,” Loke said via email, “so you don’t really understand

the American humor in the start…”

Even students from Canada experience these concerns. Kory Cheshire, a fifthyear on the women’s volleyball team, is the first person in her family to attend college.

Though her home is closer than others’, she still misses Canada at times.

According to her, in Canada, the Winter Olympics is a huge deal and is covered practically everywhere. In the U.S., that is not so much the case. For Cheshire, coming to the U.S. was more of a struggle in the sense that she had no idea what to expect. Since neither of her parents went to college, Cheshire had to depend on learning as she went along. In addition, she needed to work with the strict regulations set by both the International Services and the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

“There’s a lot of stuff, rules and regulations, I don’t think people realize we, as international

student-athletes ... have to comply to,” Cheshire said. “For example, we always have to have nine credits (physically) on campus...I need to make sure all these credits are going toward something so that I can be eligible to play. Not only do I have to comply to stay in the country, I have to comply with the NCAA.” According to Cheshire, one of the most difficult tasks she is currently facing is having to register for at least six on-campus credits to stay in the country. The only classes that are offered, however, that can go towards her major are online. She says she doesn’t want to register for classes that might cost the athletics money or that won’t help her in her studies.

While being an international student-athlete has its hurdles, with the help of teammates, friends and family, these individuals are learning how to navigate a new country and play the sport they love.

Kagan appointed as new head coach to turn around women’s soccer after a 2-17 season

By JAYCEE KALAMA News Contributor Oregon State University’s women’s soccer program is getting a change of leadership as Matt Kagan has taken the position of head coach. Former head coach, Linus Rhode, will not be retained for the 2019 season.

Kagan comes with a record of success which impressed the hiring committee. He has expressed excitement to take leadership of the team, following a 2-17 overall season under Rhode.

Oregon State University Vice President and Director of Athletics, Scott Barnes, would not comment on the reason for Rhode’s dismissal.

“As a matter of university policy, we do not discuss employment-related issues publicly,” Barnes said.

Early in his tenure, Rhode took the program to three NCAA Tournaments and after 11 seasons as the OSU head women’s soccer coach, Rhode compiled a record of 88-110-24. He has contributed eight years to the Beaver’s women’s soccer program in positions as the program’s associate and assistant coach.

Toni Malone, a third-year psychology major and a captain of the soccer team, expressed gratitude for Rhode’s work as head coach.

“Linus has contributed years of his life and energy towards this program. We will forever be thankful for that,” Malone said.

The women’s soccer team will now be directed by Matt Kagan, the former Mississippi State University head coach, and member of the coaching staff of nine NCAA Tournament teams. Kagan is a decorated coach, as three of the nine NCAA Tournament appearance teams have advanced to the “Sweet 16.”

Kagan will be the fifth head coach of OSU’s program since the inception of women’s

intercollegiate soccer in 1988.

Barnes said in a press release, “We are very excited to welcome Coach Kagan to Beaver Nation.”

Barnes said that he had heard nothing but praise for Coach Kagan’s attributes in terms of energy, work ethic and his ability to relate to student-athletes from the soccer community.

The committee that hired Kagan seemed to agree.

“What impressed the committee about Coach Kagan is his proven track record of success on and off the pitch, including consistently being a part of teams that have had academic and postseason success,” Barnes said.

During Kagan’s first season as the MSU head coach, the Bulldogs posted their best record in 16 years, and in 2018 after two seasons were ranked in the top 25 for the first time in school history. In addition, Kagan’s teams have been recognized for academic achievement eight times.

Kagan is an excellent candidate for the position considering his background as a successful soccer coach and student-athlete, as well as his possession of a bachelor’s degree in sports management from Southern New Hampshire University.

“I want to thank Scott Barnes, Zack Lassiter (Deputy Athletic Director) and the search committee for entrusting me with this amazing opportunity to lead the Oregon State Women’s Soccer program,” Kagan said in a press release.

“I can’t wait to get started in the ‘Best College Town in the Pac-12.’”

Looking forward, the team is optimistic in their future, as they are preparing for the 2019 season with new leadership.

Malone explained that change in leadership can bring a newfound energy to the team. Any sort of change can result in new motivation

and a change in mentality that will yield results and overall growth, and any program can benefit from this.

“We as players had to step up individually.

As a team, we have gotten together and decided, early on, how we are going to embrace this change in times of uncertainty.” Malone said.

“Whenever there is uncertainty, sometimes the only things you can control is your mentality and how hard you work. We are in off season right now and we have been focusing a lot on our fitness and our psychological mindset.”

Coach Kagan’s goal for the upcoming season is to simply get better every day.

“I want the team to improve at the tasks they are given and to create a positive team culture,” he said.

Defensively, Kagan is aiming to foster a bluecollar pressing team with creative attacking and the ability to score goals.
