B&E hosts Eaton professional etiquette dinner

BY KAYLA ASBURY CITY EDITOR

WVU’s College of Business and Economics hosts an etiquette dinner during the spring semester every year, but Wednesday’s dinner is different.

The dinner has been exclusive to B&E students for 18 years, but this year it is open to students of any major.

“We decided it would be a great opportunity to expand it to the entire University,” said Katherine Kopp, assistant director of the B&E Center for Career Development.

The College of Business and Economics collaborated with WVU Center for Career Services to open the event to the student body.

Last year, attendance at the event was approximately 250 students. The expected

attendance for tonight’s event is 450 students, nearly doubling the event in size.

“The event is targeted toward setting students up for success if they’re ever in an environment where they have to dine and network with employers, in an interview or even if they’re new to a job, making sure they feel comfortable in that atmosphere,” Kopp said.

Most often, people dine with their families and friends in a comfortable setting, Kopp said. The etiquette dinner provides information on how to perform well and thrive in formal situations.

“If you didn’t grow up in a household where you were exposed to nicer dinners where table manners were the focus, this is an important opportunity to learn some of those skills,” Kopp said.

The DOs and DON’Ts of dining We asked the experts from WVU’s College of Business and Economics Center for Career Development what you should and shouldn’t do while dining with a future employer: DON’T talk with your mouth full of food — Katherine Kopp, assistant director of the B&E Center for Career Development

ANDREW SPELLMAN / THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

The College of Business and Economics’ annual professional etiquette dinner teaches attendees the skills of formal dining.

The event does not have assigned seating. There will be a mocktail reception, where students can network with employers, and determine which employer they would like to dine with.

Once seated, there will be a 15 minute fashion show with clothes supplied by local retailers. Student will model outfits from different

price-points, showing business professional and casual attire and what to wear to an interview.

There will be a presentation from Marcia Duncan-Williams, an etiquette coach from Eaton.

Eaton is the dinner’s “gold” sponsor.

“In addition to supporting the event financially,

DO make sure you address employers appropriately. Know their title!

— Ryan Noon, assistant director of the B&E Center for Career Development DO focus on networking opportunities instead of the meal — Kellyn Smith, associate director of the B&E Center for Career Development they also have their executive etiquette coach from their organization coming in to deliver the etiquette content this year,” Kopp said.

As different courses are served, Duncan-Williams will provide helpful information to guide students

through the meal.

Local retailers donated 25-30 gift cards and prizes that will be raffled off at the end of the event.

The event spans from 5:30- 8 p.m. tonight at the Waterfront Place Hotel. Registration is closed.

WVU offering free cooking classes for students

BY RACHEL ROGERS STAFF WRITER

College can sometimes feel like a balancing act, and eating healthy often takes the backseat. A series of free classes on campus is teaching students how to make simple, healthy meals without breaking the bank.

GetFruved has teamed up with WellWVU to offer four cooking classes, each focusing on a different cuisine.

“Students may be overwhelmed by the idea of cooking or even grocery shopping,” said Laura Stefanow, a graduate assistant at WellWVU. “We break that down for them and show them that it’s not as hard or scary as they think it may be.”

Not only are the classes informative, they are also fun.

“It’s hands-on, so it’s not just a lecture,” Stefanow

said.

Allison Morris, coordinator of GetFruved, says eating fruits and vegetables everyday are great sources of vitamins, minerals and fiber, which aid in weight management.

“One of the benefits of fiber is that it helps us stay fuller longer,” Morris said. “If you have class for six hours straight, it’s a great way to mix in snacks.”

Jessica Liu, a graduate

student, attended the first class on Monday, which featured a Mediterranean menu.

Liu, like other students, has a hectic schedule and wanted to learn how to eat healthier while meeting her responsibilities.

“A lot of us are busy and not a lot of us are active so this is a great way to kind of find a good balance between eating healthy and studying,” Liu said.

Liu, who plans on attending a second class, says she learned good tips that she will use when cooking at home.

“Sometimes healthy does take a long time, but these recipes kind of show that these are quick and easy,” Liu said.

The remaining three classes, which are scheduled for March 27, April 3 and April 10, are full. However, interested students can

put their names on a waiting list at well.wvu.edu.

Morris looks for the classes to expand down the road.

“It is something we’re hoping, depending on how they go, that in future years, we will be able to offer them more often,” Morris said.

For upcoming events and healthy tips, students can follow GetFruved on Twitter and Instagram (@ getfruvedwv).

WEDNESDAY MARCH 22, 2017

Meet the Student Government senate candidates Blake Humphrey and Shannon Smith are leading the Let’s Talk ticket into the 2017-18 school year. The lack of competition in the current SGA election has allowed Humphrey, a senior economics and political science student, and Smith, a junior strategic communications student to lead a campus-wide discussion instead of campaigning against another ticket.

“The obvious reality is that this is an uncontested election, we’re not running against anyone,” Humphrey said. “Because of that it’s not a campaign—it’s a conversation.”

Humphrey and Smith have chosen all but one of the following student senator candidates based on their ability to listen and their goals for the student body.

Paraag Gupta Paraag Gupta, is a sophomore biomedical engineering student from Weirton, West Virginia.

Gupta joined SGA to advocate for campus sustainability and cleanliness, and to broaden cross-cultural knowledge and interaction.

“It’s basically brightening the campus environment and making it more open to everyone,” Gupta said. “A really important part of being at any university is broadening your horizons. I think cross-cultural communication especially is really important and something that everyone who goes to a university should experience.”

Gupta wants to focus on campus sustainability and cleanliness to preserve WVU’s beauty. Gupta grew up in West Virginia, viewing WVU as a place for success and beauty, and he wants to keep that.

Karley White Karley White is a freshman industrial engineering student from Annapolis, Maryland.

White joined S GA

through an internship in fall 2016 and decided running for senate was the best next step for her.

White is focusing on campus convenience for her platform. Emphasizing on the small issues that often get overlooked during elections can change a lot, White said.

White wants to lower the price of student IDs and transcripts and get rid of the minimum deposit amount for Mountie Bounty. She also wants to make parking rules more transparent.

“As a new student here, that’s what mostly stood out to me and I feel like that’s where we can really improve,” White said. “It’s important to not overlook the small things that are commonly overlooked on platforms, but still complained about.”

Miguel Henriquez Miguel Henriquez is a junior physics student from Bridgeport, West Virginia.

He served as an SGA intern his freshman year and has been working with the NAACP chapter of WVU since.

Henriquez is using the

acronym “A.C.E.” as his platform: academics, community and engagement.

“Really what I’d like to do is engage the students and have the students engage with other students,” Henriquez said. “As the next generation of Mountaineers and innovators, we have an opportunity to break through the divisive rhetoric in our national politics and even in our own communities,” Henriquez said.

Ethan Ball Ethan Ball is a junior entrepreneurship and innovation student from Princeton, West Virginia.

His platform for SGA senate focuses on student engagement.

Ball wants to restructure WVU’s student organization system to make it easier for freshman and new students to get involved early. If a student does not engage in external involvement in their first semester at WVU, there is a much lower likelihood that they will join an organization in their later three years.

“With declining representation over the past few years in our student organizations, it’s become apparent many of our Mountaineers have never truly found their outlet,” Ball said.

Abundance Hunt Abundance Hunt, a junior exercise physiology major from Lewisburg, West Virginia, is seeking reelection as an athletic senator.

“I feel my job with our athletics is not yet com-

Hunt served as an SGA intern under then-Governor Emma Thompson her freshman year. This past year she planned WVU’s first ever “5th Quarter” after the homecoming game, and worked to help WVU students feel at home on campus.

If reelected, Hunt hopes to improve the gameday experience by working on projects to bring Mountie Bounty and student discounts to all WVU sports venues.

Hunt wants to hear new ideas and work to enhance student experiences on campus.

“I am always open to any ideas my fellow Mountaineers may have and starting a conversation on how to improve your game day experience,” Hunt said.

Brenna Leasor Brenna Leasor, the cur-

rent SGA City Council Liaison, hopes to work on the problem of food insecurity on campus if elected senator.

The junior psychology student recognizes that food insecurity is an issue on college campuses across the country and wants to leave her mark by improving the Rack, the student food pantry.

“I hope to work with WVU Dining and Catering Services to donate excess food to the Rack,” Leasor said.

Although Leasor has only been in SGA for one year, she helped plan the first Women’s Empowerment Week and updated the SGA website to keep students informed about upcoming events.

Lujain Al Otaibi When asked why he wanted to run for SGA, Lujain Al Otaibi said he wants

“to be the link between international students and the student government.”

“Generally this year I want to focus on expanding opportunities for cultural diversity organization, expand different fairs, have alternatives for the night life activities and focus on issues that international students face,” Otaibi said.

The freshman political science student believes he can accomplish these goals by hearing opinions that are essential to a government’s success—the voices of the people.

Voting Information When: 9 a.m.—5 p.m. on March 22 and 23 Where: Vandalia Room of the Mountainlair and the Student Rec Center Requirements: Student ID

WEDNESDAY MARCH 22, 2017 Brent Osborne Sophomore business management student Brent Osborne has different experiences that he would like to bring to SGA as an athletic senator.

Osborne plans to carry out his goals by reaching out to the community using an activity many may not connect to government.

“Connecting with (athletic) coaches and community leaders here in Mon County is the first step to achieving (our) goals and then reaching out to other WVU campuses, such as WVU Tech, in my hometown to implement activities in the southern part of the state,” Osborne said.

Cora King A freshman business management student, Cora King says her main concern for next year is improving student safety.

“I feel as if all Mountaineers should feel safe no matter where they are and what time of day it is,” the Hurricane, West Virginia native said. “I want to continue to strengthen the relationships between our students and the University Police Department as well as the Morgantown Police Department.”

As a freshman, King already has experience interning under current Student Body President Julie Merow in fall 2016.

“I want the students and administration to know that I will go above and beyond to take their issues with safety and tackle them no matter how big or small.”

Aishwarya Vijay Aishwarya Vijay, a sophomore biomedical engi-

neering student, looks to use her experiences in Morgantown to improve the academic and social environment for all students.

Vijay’s main goals for the upcoming year are to improve first-year seminar classes, help students who are struggling academically and promote diversity.

“More students need to be aware of the various student organizations and events that are hosted in an effort to expose our students to different cultures,” Vijay said.

She looks to be proactive and advocate for students.

Tyler Brewster Tyler Brewster, a sophomore political science student from Martinsburg, West Virginia, decided to run for SGA again this year to continue the work he acccomplished during the last administration.

Last year, Brewster worked closely with the UPD to rewrite the University’s policies and introduce an Emergency Management Accreditation Program to help guide UPD to meet national standards.

Brewster is also passionate about working more with WV flood relief. Spending more than 100 hours last year on community service, Brewster wants to continue this and organize more trips to help rebuild what was lost during the flood.

“I am a very driven individual who doesn’t take this position for granted.

For the past year, I’ve worked day-in and day-out to fill my duty to the student body, and I’m anxious for the opportunity to do

NEWS | 5 it again this coming year,” Brewster said.

Teresa Hoang Teresa Hoang, a freshman industrial engineering student from Huntington, West Virginia, wants to work first hand on issues instead of being a bystander.

Hoang wants to install free tampon dispensers on campus for student convenience. She intends for there to be a pilot program in fall 2017 for the dispensers.

Hoang sees a disconnect between the student body and SGA. To fix this issue, Hoang plans to coordinate with the next Executive Secretary to formulate a monthly newsletter that will be sent out to students.

Seth Underwood Seth Under wood, a sophomore energy land management student, realized he wanted to run for SGA again because more time devoted could result in more success for the University.

Underwood’s plans for next year include expanding SGA’s relationship with student organizations and continuing to work on mental health issues on campus.

“Finding more venues for airing the new It’s On Us promotional video which was developed by Big 12 students, reach out to people who know more than I do and then following their advice and hopefully bring as much talent and knowledge from across WVU and the Big 12 to the table as possible,” Underwood said.

Shannon “Shan” Cawley Shan Cawley, freshman secondary education student, decided to run for SGA because she saw the potential of a senator’s impact on campus.

From Weirton, West Virginia, Cawley wants to focus on expanding the It’s On Us program during her time as a senator.

By changing this, Cawley said it will start laying groundwork for a safer University.

“By taking small steps toward the finish line, I believe SGA can accomplish a lot of amazing things.

Working on problems isn’t a race, but rather starting from the ground up. It’s all about having a strong foundation.”

Mason Arbogast* Mason Arbogast, a freshman biochemistry student, is running for SGA senator with hopes of focusing on improving student engagement within the University.

A Weston, West Virginia native, Arbogast was an intern with SGA in fall 2016.

Arbogast said he wants student concerns about the University to be heard and to improve college life for all on campus.

“Even though I’m new to government, I’m going to dedicate myself to making the best decisions for each student, staff and administration in order to improve WVU to become the best school for every individual, no matter the needs,” Arbogast said. *Arbogast is running as a write-in c andidate for this election.

The 2016 election: by the numbers Of the 28, 776 students at WVU, 1,133 voted.

There were three voting locations: the Mountainlair, University Park and Evansdale Crossing.

SGA spent $23,700 on last year’s election. This equates to roughly $21 per vote.

Let’s Talk ticket seeks to increase student involvement A letter from student body president candidate Blake Humphrey on the importance of the Student Government Association and its election In January, I announced my intentions to run for student body president.

When we started this journey, Shannon and I were ready for the various challenges (and challengers) that would come our way.

Since then, things have changed.

But throughout these past two months, amidst these changes, we stayed the course and continued to spread our message of being student leaders who ‘lead by listening,’ and we talked endlessly with our friends and fellow Mountaineers about the need for SGA to become a catalyst for meaningful, impactful

campus conversations.

We didn’t jump into this race because we thought we were going to be the only candidates running, or that we had the best shot of winning. We got into this race because we believe in our message of sharing and valuing every person’s story in our Mountaineer community, and starting conversations that everyone can be a part of.

And now, on the first day of voting, it is obvious that the circumstances are much different than what we anticipated, planned for and expected. The hard reality is this; we are unopposed in our bid for presi-

dent, vice president and for senate seats in the Student Assembly.

Although the ‘political landscape’ of student government might have changed, what hasn’t changed is this; our belief in our mission, purpose and vision for WVU, and our conviction that everyone needs to be a part of the conversation, so that everyone can be a part of the solution.

Today, polls will open for the 2017 campus-wide student government elections. Since this is an uncontested election, many will probably forgo exercising their right to vote.

That is understandable.

We are already aiming to make campaign and election reform a top priority for our administration so that more people are empowered and able to run for leadership positions on our campus.

But, even if you do not vote, or if you do, we need you.

We need you now more than ever, because even though our country and state might seem to be divided, our Mountaineer community is strong and unified.

We need you now more than ever, because your stories, ideas and activism

define the heart and soul of our university.

And we need you now more than ever, because the conversation that we need to be having is far too important for anyone to be left out of.

Let’s Talk is more than just a phrase or a campaign slogan; it is our guiding motto, principle and purpose as student leaders seeking to be strong voices and tireless advocates for each and every Mountaineer.

It is our commitment to you, that no matter who you are or where you are from; we will be there, with open arms (and ears),

ready to listen to your story.

And above all, it is our hope that regardless of if you vote or not, that you too will take up the cause of creating and engaging in meaningful conversations on campus in order to build bridges and connect our West Virginia University in the years to come.

Only then will we be able to develop tangible, real solutions to help solve our university’s greatest problems.

So, we need you. Now more than ever.

OPINION

OPINION | 7

Putting SGA into perspective Students Sound Off: SGA elections STAFF EDITORIAL In a Twitter poll, The DA asked current students if they were going to vote in Wednesday’s SGA election. With 466 votes, only 22 percent of students said they planned to take 5 minutes out of their day to stop by the polls.

These results aren’t really surprising, as we’ve noticed a consistent decrease in voters (and interest) for SGA elections in the past three years— last March a third of the number of voters came out than in 2015.

The sentiment across campus seems to be “who cares?” and there are perhaps several reasons for that.

It’s difficult for students to see the effect of SGA in their day to day lives, and a harder fact to consider is that, in my experiences, students at WVU willfully ignore SGA, remaining ignorant of what members do around campus and the potential service they stand to offer WVU students.

WVU isn’t alone in these aspects. Student governments at universities across the nation are plagued by student apathy and low interest.

They have elected leaders similar to ours, who promise change and bring it (see Julie Merow’s student assembly), yet their students stand as still as the Mountaineers when it comes to political participation.

At Texas A&M, a campus of 58,577, about 24 percent of students voted in this year’s election. About 3,000 of those votes went toward the Uni-

versity’s satirical newspaper, The Mughead.

Sam King, editor-in-chief of The Battalion, Texas A&M’s student newspaper, said student disinterest has been a problem for the Aggies’ student government for years, just as it has been at WVU. King believes part of this is due to multiple instances of misconduct by elected student officials at Texas A&M in the past few years that have pushed students to characterize SGA as sort of a “joke.”

And maybe King’s theory is true at WVU, too.

WVU’s SGA has seen its fair share of scandals in the last few years—Julie Merow’s administration will be the first in four years to not have an official arrested or cited by police while in office.

However, bad decisions by individuals should not poison our perspective of SGA and the potential good it could bring to WVU’s campus.

At Pitt, like with Texas A&M and WVU, students have watched the Panther’s Student Governing Body voter turnout numbers dwindle in the years leading up to 2017, which was actually a record breaking year both for number of candidates and voter turnout, according to Liz Lepro, editor-in-chief of The Pitt News.

This was the first year in three years that Pitt’s SGB election featured competition for board members (the equivalent of WVU’s senators), and usually, Lepro said, there are only two candidates

for the presidency.

Lepro said this year all candidates for SGB office ran on platforms addressing student apathy and making the organization more inclusive.

Both of these points have been cornerstones of first Merow’s campaign, and this year Blake Humphrey’s.

So things have changed for Pitt using these tactics, and maybe we are on the same track, but the fact still stands that to see change, students must be a part of it.

SGA is your connection to the University. What if the University administration one day decided the effort put into operating a student government wasn’t worth it because of student disinterest?

You as a student would lose your voice in matters concerning your life. There would be no one to represent and speak for you when tuition increases or building demolitions are proposed, or when cuts are made to recreational or academic resources you probably use every day.

As a student, you would be at an automatic disadvantage. Right now, we’re almost already at this disadvantage because of students’ decision to not participate in student government.

SGA has the unique ability to mobilize change on this campus without some of the restraints most students are dictated by. We just need to be willing to give them the chance, and in the past few years, we have not done so.

SGA elections kick off tomorrow, and we asked students on Twitter if they planned to go out to the polls. Here are the results and a few students explaining their decision:

“I am running in the next election, so I will be voting for the weakest candidates to increase my chance of being elected next semester,” said Marc Sanford, a sophomore political science student from Clifton Park, NY

“No, I’m not voting. I’m just not interested in that,” said Allie Gold, a sophomore psychology student from Algonquin, IL

Hop into spring with simple comfort food recipes

BY ABBY HUMPHREYS BLOGS EDITOR

Instead of the heavy comfort foods of winter, spring meals are known for their light and fresh quality. Open a window and let the fresh spring air roll in as you prepare these easy recipes for lunch or dinner. All foods listed are meatless for those observing Lent and are packed with vitamins for a healthy and filling meal.

Spring onion soup Make the most of spring crops by preparing this easy soup to accompany a toasted sandwich or salad for a quick lunch. If your grocery store is out of spring onions, yellow onions can be substituted.

-2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling -2 pounds spring onions (or yellow onions), trimmed and thinly sliced -2 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt -1 1/4 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock -2 cups water -8 pieces crisp flatbread, for serving Instructions: Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent but not brown, about 15 minutes.

-Stir in salt, stock, and water. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 15 minutes.

-Remove from heat, and let cool for 20 minutes. Working in batches, puree in a blender, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to high, blending until soup is smooth.

-Divide soup among 4 bowls, drizzle with oil, and serve with flatbread on the side.

Pesto Pasta Pesto pasta can be served hot or cold, so you can enjoy it warm on a cool spring night or eat leftovers straight from the fridge on a sunny afternoon. You can use either premade pesto available at any grocery store or make your own using any online pesto recipe.

-1/2 cup chopped onion -2 1/2 tablespoons pesto -2 tablespoons olive oil -2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese -1 (16 ounce) package pasta -salt to taste -ground black pepper to taste Instructions: Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water until done.

Drain.

-Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan over medium low heat. Add pesto, onion, and salt and pepper. Cook about five minutes, or until onions are soft.

-In a large bowl, mix pesto mixture into pasta. Stir in grated cheese.

Serve.

Strawberry Banana Smoothie The bright fruit flavors of strawberry and banana are highlighted in this recipe. Make one to take to class to energize yourself during this last half of the semester.

-4 large strawberries, fresh or frozen -1/2 c. milk -1 ripe banana -5 ice cubes -1 1/2 tsp. sugar (opt.)

Instructions: Combine strawberries, milk, banana and ice.

Blend until perfectly smooth. Add sugar (optional). Blend for 1 minute.

Local Ronald McDonald House to host Murder Mystery Dinner

BY EMILY ZEKONIS

ASSOCIATE CULTURE EDITOR Community members are invited to kick up their heels and take part in Morgantown’s Ronald McDonald House’s unique and interactive fundraiser.

On March 24, the local Ronald McDonald House will host a murder mystery dinner in conjunction with the Spotlight Theater. The event will be set in the “wild west.”

Guests will be able to take part in solving a murder case while enjoying a cocktail hour, a silent auction and dinner.

“Dinner theater events are unique,” said Eleanor Reigel, executive director of the Morgantown Ronald McDonald House on selecting the event. “We believe our guests enjoy a casual night out while supporting a local charity.”

Participants will not only be able to enjoy the interactive event, but they will also directly impact the lives of those who receive services from the Ronald McDonald House.

The Ronald McDonald House offers families of children receiving life saving medical care within the

Morgantown area a place to stay in order for them to be close to their child during treatment and healing.

The house offers activities and meals to these families during their stay as well.

The organization also runs the Family Room Program located in WVU Medicine Children’s that provides a living room area with snacks, showers and activities for the whole family to be engaged in while their child receives treatment.

This service is visited by more than 11,000 families each year.

“This event will help offset costs of operating the charity to more than 600 families who stay with us annually,” Reigel said.

Participants in the murder mystery dinner are recommended to be 18 years of age and older. Western attire is encouraged and those attending should be prepared to interact directly with the night’s plot.

The event will take place at the Waterfront Place Hotel beginning at 6 p.m. this Friday. Tickets are $100 per person, with a group discount at 10 people for $900 total.

Appalachian compilation release party to be held at Mountainlair

BY JEFFREY SCOTT STAFF WRITER

A newly released novel, “Eyes Glowing at the Edge of the Woods: Fiction and Poetry from West Virginia” uses its many stories to paint a diverse picture of what makes West Virginia special, and why Appalachian culture is held so dear.

A release party will be held in celebration of the book’s March 1 release on Thursday in the Gold Ballroom of the Mountainlair, hosted by WVU Press and WVU Office of Provost.

The stories and poems, all of which were published within the past 15 years, found throughout this collection show what it means to live in such a complex place, through conflicts involving family, sexual identity, class, discrimination, environment and much more.

The book, which features 63 fiction writers and poets, and was assembled by editors Laura Long and Douglas Van Gundy, celebrates everything that West Virginia—the core of the Appalachian area—inspires.

“Appalachian literature showed me how deeply people can love this place even while facing how hard that love can be,” Long said.

“The beauty of Appalachia,

in contrast to the harshness of the environmental and economic conditions, all bring an intensity to everyone living here, an intensity that is hard to explain unless you know it.”

“I didn’t know that people from here with families and experiences like mine could write literature until I discovered the poems of James Wright and Irene McKinney, and the short stories of Breece Pancake,” added Van Gundy. “These writers showed me that my culture, my story, had value.”

Other established writers found in the work include Jayne Anne Phillips, Norman Jordan, Ann Pancake, Maggie Anderson and Denise Giardina. Some fresh voices include Matthew Neill Null, Ida Stew-

art, Rajia Hassib and Scott McClanahan.

The event will be held from 4:30-6:30 p.m. and is open to the public, light re-

freshments will be served.

PROFESSOR PROFILE | 11

P

rofessor rofile

To find the bad guys, you’ve got to think like a bad guy, according to Professor Dick Riley. He said though special software can be helpful, investigating money laundering can be like looking for “a needle in a haystack.”

Riley spoke to Managing Editor Jennifer Gardner about the Forensic Accounting and Fraud Examination Master’s program here at WVU, and how he teaches his students to follow the money.

Q. What is the role of a forensic accountant?

A. Forensic accountants investigate issues where there is a legal problem and money is involved.

As an example, forensic accountants investigate money laundering, chasing bad guys around the world through the books and records. The investigation not only help to develop a case against, let’s say drug traffickers, but also follow the money of those traffickers so that the authorities can also take the money away from them. Forensic accountants not only support a conviction, but also facilitate asset forfeiture so (the criminal) has to give up the profits from their nefarious acts.

Q. What strategies are used to detect fraud?

A. What fraud examiners are good at is following nuggets of money movements and nuggets of financial transitions, and being able to take a lot of little pieces and pull them together and organize them in such a way that you can see the bigger picture of what’s going on. In other words, most bad guys—if they’re going to launder a million dollars—are not going to make one transfer that moves $1 million dollars. They’re going to move it in tiny little pieces. So fraud examiners help identify all of those pieces, pull them all together, so that we can see what was really transferred was a million dollars, just done in 15 or 20 different pieces.

Q. What can be difficult about tracking such large amounts of money?

A. Concealment—Everything is disguised. In the world, in a day, there might be a trillion financial transactions, and we’re looking for thousands of transactions associated with money laundering.

The problem is that in most fraud and money laundering situations, the number of illegal activities is very small compared to the total population of transactions. Basically, we look for a needle in a haystack. You just have to be very careful and pay attention to very small clues. We also have software that helps us look for pattern recognition and stuff like that to help us detect anomalies.

Once we see an anomaly, we have to realize what that anomaly means and then organize all of the anomalies in such a way that we tell the whole story.

Richard Riley, PhD., CPA, CFE, CFF Professor

68 Clay St - Suite C Morgantown, WV 26501

College of Economics Director of Research for the Institute for Fraud Prevention Q. Has technology progressed much over the last several years?

A. Technology has had a huge impact, probably in the last 15 to 20 years, more than anything.

We now have big data technology and we have software programs. One that we use at WVU is called IDEA, and it’s a data mining software package devoted to forensic accounting and fraud examination issues. It’s designed to help us look for anomalies often associated with fraud and financially-motivated crime. For example, if someone is writing a check and running it through the bank multiple times, IDEA helps us identify duplicates very quickly.

Q. What skills do you teach students so they are able to find “the needle in a haystack?”

A. We start almost every class with a creative thinking exercise, and the reason being is that if you’re a good person chasing bad people, you don’t think like a bad guy. So in order to think like a bad guy, you have to think very creatively. So we spend a lot of time on creative thinking, we spend a lot of time on how to organize and piece disparate data together so it tells a story, and we also spend a lot of time on the graphical presentation of our results, so that we can convert a lot of numbers and charts into pictures for juries to help them understand the flow of transactions and the amount of dollars involved.

Q. Why do you believe students are interested in the fraud examination program?

A. One of the things we do is take our students to the crime scene houses to search for evidence; I also think they like the excitement of trying to figure out a puzzle, the idea that they’re helping to solve a crime. In the end, students love the intellectual challenge of trying to solve the problem, wondering if the bad guy can be smarter this time and get away. It’s a lot of tenacity.

Through work, WVU guards believe they are best in country

BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS EDITOR

MEN’S BASKETBALL There was nothing but tremendous things to say about West Virginia’s guards—namely Jevon Carter—following Saturday’s win.

And the group itself has a lot of confidence.

The backcourt trio of Carter, Daxter Miles and Tarik Phillip, who combined for 53 of WVU’s 83 points against Notre Dame, wasn’t shy to rank themselves among college basketball’s elite at the position.

“All year we’ve been telling ourselves that we got the best group of guards in the country, and we truly believe that,” Carter said.

Phillip immediately agreed with Carter’s stance in the press conference. A lot of it stems from the hard work put in during the offseason, helping them enhance their abilities.

That work ethic is something WVU head coach Bob Huggins has alluded to all season long, especially Carter, who is the epitome of a “gym rat.”

“They want to get better and they want to win,” Huggins said. “They get tired of people talking down about them, honestly.”

They came in with their own set of difficulties: Phillip wasn’t lauded as a shooter out of junior college, Carter struggled with

Bottom: Tarik Phillip hauls in a rebound against Notre Dame.

“They want to get better, and they want to win. They get tired of people talking down about them, honestly.”

— Head Coach Bob Huggins

consistency, an aspect many players struggle with their first couple years of college, and Miles was similar to Phillip offensively.

But they carry that “gym rat” mentality and are always motivated to get better. Huggins showed them rankings of the top guards in the country, using it as a source of motivation for his players.

Not that they needed extra incentive to be in the

gym, but let’s just say they took it to heart.

“They’re in the practice facility 12 months out of the year, and you know, it’s great when you don’t have to kind of tell people to get in there. They go in there,” Huggins said.

None were highly-touted prospects out of high school. None were McDonald’s All-Americans or ESPN 100 prospects. The only top 100 players on the

roster are Esa Ahmad and Elijah Macon, who are both forwards.

Maybe they were overlooked. But that did little to deter their games, or their mindsets. Now, in the biggest time of the season where it’s win or go home, they are stepping up for West Virginia.

“We keep that chip on our shoulder,” Carter said.

“A wise man once said, ‘remember where you come from,’ and we always keep that in the back of our mind.”

Carter, in particular, was singled out by Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey. His 24 points tortured his team

all afternoon, eliminating them from advancing to the second weekend of the Tournament.

It was just another piece of recognition for the Big 12’s Defensive Player of the Year.

“Carter is a big-time winner,” Brey said. “What a stud guard he is. He’s fabulous.

He’s just a veteran winner in college basketball.”

Carter is the leader in the backcourt, entering campus with Miles and Phillip in the same recruiting class.

However, Phillip was coming out of junior college, earning just three years of playing eligibility; Carter and Miles were out of high school and earned four.

The three backcourt mates—none rated above three-star recruits—helped transform the WVU squad in 2014, which missed the NCAA Tournament the previous two seasons. All three are critical pieces in “Press Virginia,” one of the most unique styles Huggins branded to create an uptick in the program.

Behind Carter, Miles and Phillip, who each faced obstacles getting to Morgantown, the tradition-rich WVU is back near the top.

“It wasn’t an easy path to get here to West Virginia,” Carter said. “We had to grind it out every step of the way, and when we get on the court, that gives us a chance to show it, prove that other schools missed out on us.”

Martin draws inspiration from younger brother

BY NEEL MADHAVAN SPORTS WRITER

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Family is everything to West Virginia sophomore guard Tynice Martin.

When Martin was young, her younger brother Travonne was diagnosed with a speech and developmental delay.

“It’s different because he learns differently,” Martin said. “Everything is kind of slower. You just have to be more patient.”

Flash forward to the present, and Martin and her brother, 17, have developed an unbreakable bond over the years.

But now, with her at WVU playing college basketball for the Mountaineers, she’s far away from her brother and the rest of her family in Atlanta, and doesn’t get to see them as much as she would like.

“It’s kind of tough because I can’t be there physically,” Martin said. “A phone call is different from actually being there.”

It’s also tough for her as Travonne’s big sister, since she feels responsible for looking out for him and sees herself as his protector.

“He’s around people that don’t understand so I can’t be there to defend, or take up for him or anything,” Martin said. “It was kind of hard leaving, but now we both get it and understand.

I feel like I am his protector because I am his sister and I’m the closest one to age to him. He comes to me when something goes wrong. I am always there.”

Two weeks ago, as the

buzzer sounded in WVU’s victory over No. 2 Baylor to win the Big 12 Conference tournament championship, Martin reflected back to her high school days when she won the Georgia High School Association Class 5A state championship her sophomore year at Southwest DeKalb High School in Georgia.

Her family, including her father, Terry Martin, her mother, Trenisha Burnett, and Travonne, were all in the stands rooting for her on both occasions.

“They were there cheering,” Martin said. “It was good to have (Travonne) there and my mom and dad there because they have hectic work schedules. I know Trae (Travonne) was happy. He was running around and giving everyone hugs.”

Martin has a close relationship with both her mother and father. Her dad, a former basketball player for the University at Auburn in the 1980s, helps her with basketball-related things, while her mom helps her with the other aspects of her life.

“He’s the one that has given me pointers and helps me with my shot,” Martin said. “My mom is more behind the scenes. She is more academic and life focused.”

After the Mountaineers received the Big 12 Championship trophy on the podium, Martin was named the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament.

She averaged 27.3 points per game as WVU defeated each of the top-three seeds in consecutive days.

“Very few times in 31

years of coaching have I seen something like that, with a player putting her team on her shoulders and winning three games, and Tynice Martin did that,” said Baylor head coach Kim Mulkey, whose Lady Bears team fell to WVU in the final.

“She did it in every game here,” Mulkey continued.

“She just elevates over people and makes shots, and kudos to that team because she really did. I’ve only seen it one other time where one player just took her team to a championship.”

Travonne, of course, was one of the first people to greet Martin as she came off the court.

“I could just see by looking at Trae’s face that he was filled with joy,” Martin said. “He was so excited.

He couldn’t wait to give me a hug afterwards. It was a great feeling.”

After winning the Big 12 championship, WVU received a No. 6 seed in the NCAA Tournament. In the first round, the Mountaineers held off a tough Elon squad 75-62, but then, in the second round, WVU met a hot-shooting Maryland team and fell 83-56.

Martin and the Mountaineers finished the 20162017 season with a 24-11 record.

There’s no doubt that as she progresses through the rest of her college basketball career at WVU, Martin will always draw inspiration from Travonne.

“His personality is very obvious to what he can bring to any situation,” Martin said. “He is full of joy. His energy drives me to do bigger and better things.”
