TROY CLOSSON // What memories matter

A

bout two months after joining The Daily as a freshman, I quit.

And it wasn’t a fake, fun, still planning to come back in a couple days kind of “quit,” I was actually done. Within three weeks on campus, I’d already heard stories from other black students about how The Daily wasn’t supportive of the students of color who worked there and constantly made mistakes in covering others on campus who didn’t. So I wrote my four stories, fall quarter ended and I thought I was done coming up to the third floor of Norris.

For a while I was.

But after hearing other people in Medill talk about “op-eds” all the time and having no idea what that meant, one day I looked up the definition on Wikipedia. I still vividly remember not understanding what they were even after that, so I read some in The Daily.

That day, I learned it was a thing in journalism that you basically could write down all of your complaints on any given topic and call it an opinion piece. And, well, I had a lot to complain about when it came to Northwestern.

So about two months after quitting The Daily as a freshman, I joined again. But only to complain on a weekly basis, usually about different aspects of diversity or inclusion on campus.

Fast forward, and the rest is much less interesting because it involves less quitting and less complaining — at least in a written way.

But it’s worth remembering.

A couple weeks ago, I didn’t really have much to say about my time in the newsroom, mostly because of how much the highs and

lows — mainly the lows — of this year there in particular had become all that came to mind when I thought “The Daily.” All the time spent in Norris taught me a lot though, and that’s not going to go away regardless of whether it’s the first thing I think of. It took a long time for me to even just enjoy coming to the newsroom — and even longer for me to feel proud of anything we do as a paper. But the road to get there made me become much more vocal about bringing up diversity issues than I ever would’ve been before coming to Northwestern and changed the type of journalism I wanted to do. In some ways, despite any of the bad experiences — or really because of them — I feel more prepared to be a black journalist than I think I could’ve been otherwise.

The good memories don’t go away either.

For a long time, the only thing I cared about besides diversity and inclusion was making the newsroom a more fun place, mainly because I didn’t want to stay there all night while constantly being tired and miserable which was my impression of the status quo when I joined.

Between all the secret meetings in secret offices that unfortunately weren’t held over delicious meals of CBH (corned beef hash for the uninformed folks) and scrapple, remixes of “We Belong Together” and conversations with people who became over-enthusiastic fans of Blake Griffin and Jay Crawford after learning their stories, I had a lot of fun. Too many people to name were part of that along the way, and I’m really thankful for all everyone who made the endless number of great experiences great — even the haters who refused to organize the famed cross-campus relay that never was.

All this was to say my time at The Daily isn’t easy to sum up in a few words. But maybe that’s a good thing. It’s definitely something that means a lot, with all the good — and bad — experiences that came with it.

And something I won’t forget To end, I’d like to set things straight for future staff members who might be told otherwise by liars and fabricators trying to steal credit for my work, I was the first — and consensus would say best — chair of the social team in institutional memory.

ALAN PEREZ // College is weird

I

took my first step onto Northwestern’s campus alone with no idea where to go. I arrived a day early to my pre-orientation program and took  minutes to find Parkes Hall, where I slept on the floor of a classroom for the night. It took me about three days to finally open up and start talking to people. During Wildcat Welcome — at what most people recall as the “diversity TND” — I shared my shock at the existence of so many white people. As someone who grew up in a

community whose population was mostly Latinx and Asian, I did not interact much with white people, nor did I think critically about race and power in this world.

All of this to say: College was weird, at least for me. That fi r s t m o n t h kicked off a four-year span during which I

felt uncomfortable, out of place and overwhelmed. But I also grew, learned more about myself and the world, and accomplished what I never thought I would do.

I remember feeling so disappointed after dropping an introductory Astronomy course my f reshman year, only to make it a habit to drop one class every quarter. I struggled with academics and often felt intimidated by peers, especially as a first generation student from an under-resourced public school.

But I’m glad I challenged myself and engaged in some real critical learning.

I also felt the wellknown FOMO as my peers began to rush

Greek life and join other clubs. Fortunately, I finally found people and communities where I felt more comfortable and began to develop meaningful relationships. I stopped trying to gain approval and instead tried to meet and become friends with cool people.

I’m glad my time at The Daily Northwestern was part of this experience.

College was not what I expected — it was definitely harder. I learned that it’s OK to feel out of place, to feel alone. But what made my experience was the people I met and the relationships I developed. I realized these connections as I make my way through this world are really what makes life worth it. I’ll always be grateful for the people I met, and I’m excited for the people I’ll meet in the future.

SENIOR REVIEW CATHERINE KIM // Leaving after learning so much

W

hen I was young, I wanted to become a journalist because I wanted to be a good person. It’s such a naive goal in life, yet it’s been so fundamental to every decision I’ve made so far. And what better way to achieve that goal than by entering a field that serves the public by providing information?

Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to find that I also love the process of talking to people, playing with words and the rush of adrenaline when I finally submit an article. But at the end of the day, I stick with journalism because it’s my feeble attempt at making the world a better place with my work.

I always thought that it would be the work that would drive me to be better. What I didn’t realize, however, was how fundamentally my friends within the newsroom would teach me how to be a decent human being. Allyson Chiu and Matthew

Choi taught me how to be a compassionate and motivational leader. Maddie Burakoff taught me how to look at the world with awe and report with empathy. Jake Holland taught me that my work ethics were far from rigorous when compared to his. Jonah Dylan taught me how to be calm and steadfast in even the most anxiety-inducing situations. And the list goes on (I could literally fill this entire page with my gratitude toward my peers).

So to my colleagues, thank you. You all inspire me to be a better person.

And to the readers of The Daily Northwestern, I apologize for the mistakes I’ve made along the way. It shows that I still have a far way to go to become a “good person,” but please know that I will continue to learn and improve. Your criticism, too, has helped me grow as a human being, and I am thankful for the energy you put into helping make this institution a better place.

I thought I’d be sick of The Daily after the ungodly number of hours I’ve spent in the newsroom, but leaving is still bittersweet. I’ll miss the late nights filled with Hot Cheetos, soggy Norris pizza, Dum Dum wrappers and endless shenanigans.

There’s no place quite like the newsroom, where the lines between coworkers, friends and foes are blurred, and I’ll be thinking about its energy for a long, long time.

COLIN BOYLE //

Developing from the negative, and other camera puns relating to life

F

our years ago, I was an eager, unaware version of myself with a camera in hand and not a clue of what the world would bring. I made the big move from Chicago to Evanston, immediately leaping into unexpected territories that would establish the person I am today: building new f riendships, working for Northwestern Athletics and The Daily Northwestern. I had a mere grasp on what the SPJ Code of Ethics entailed, nor how nitpicky the AP style guide truly was aside from the dreaded online quizzes that we took in -.

Admittedly, I’m still learning AP. Then-Development and Recruitment Editor Kelli Nguyen reached out to me on Facebook in the first

week of freshman year, asking me if I was interested in photographing for The Daily. I excitedly wrote back, before asking where The Daily was. I made that premiere venture to the third floor of Norris, sparking an almost daily routine of working in the presence of the most driven group of young storytellers.

From there, I met some of my best friends, idols and teammates for the next twelve quarters.

While learning so much along the way about what it means to be a journalist, leader and teammate, I would spend half of my years at Northwestern as a Photo Editor. I wrote, reported, photographed and kept a finger on the pulse of breaking news as best as I could. Ryan Wangman and I investigated for over a quarter to produce an In Focus, just  months after writing my first article.

The staff became an extended family to me – such strong connections and support that I could not find in many friendships. We documented history together, from Obama’s Farewell Address, NU men’s first and only March Madness berth, day-to-day happenings on and around campus and so much more.

Glamorous photo assignments aside, I owe so much of who I am, and will become, to the lessons learned at The Daily. The patient and attentive team there invoked messages of accountability, transparency, compassion and commitment. With these, I see all aspects of life through a nuanced lens.

Through the undulating photo staff over the years, my colleagues at the

“Photo Fam” provided the filters for this metaphoric lens of life. Allie Goulding and Katie Pach showed me how to lead and how to listen – to others and to myself. Jeffrey Wang taught me how to be gutsy.

Lauren Duquette showed me how to believe in myself. Noah Frick-Alofs embodied the consistent reliability of friendship and the actual lens when you needed to borrow the gear. Those who followed our class in the visual team encapsulate the compassionate visual storytelling that Evanston and Northwestern deserve.

My window at The Daily has come and gone, but the lessons remain – the positives, the negatives and the development along the way. With all honesty, I do not miss that brutalist monstrosity that is Norris, though the people and memories it houses are cherished and missed greatly. Saying goodbye in December when I wrapped up my undergrad was bittersweet. The month prior hosted times of reflection on what journalism means and what needs to be done for a more equitable, accessible future of communication.

I still venture up to Evanston from time to time.

I found myself getting emotional looking at the cement bunker next to the Lakefill yesterday. To the lessons that no lecture nor classroom could provide, I owe so much to The Daily. Support local news, support student journalists and support one another.

In Evanston, three years’ worth of learning and late nights

W

hen I walked into The Daily’s newsroom as a scared, wide-eyed firstyear, I was looking for a college publication to join, and nights to spend making a newspaper. As someone who didn’t have a paper in high school, the idea of putting one out five days a week was both thrilling and terrifying in equal measure.

The first story I got sent to cover was about the city’s parks, which were being evaluated with letter grades. I was supposed to find out what residents thought about them, so I walked through two parks next to campus, interrupting people’s days and awkwardly trying to get their attention. I was so nervous, and I was pretty sure they could tell, and when I got back to my dorm I was convinced I wasn’t cut out for any of this.

When I walked out of The Daily’s newsroom three-and-a-half years later on my last night as a staffer, I left with so much more than I’d bargained for. In the time I spent on the third floor of Norris, I got a crash course in journalism (and probably life too) that I couldn’t have gotten in any lecture hall or seminar room on campus.

Anyone who knows me knows that my time at The Daily was shaped by long nights in the newsroom and equally long nights at the Evanston Civic Center. It was a three-year enrollment in Local Government  that showed me just how government works — and sometimes doesn’t — and how much people care about the wellbeing of their cities and want to help shape their future.

Evanstonians are so passionate about their city and making it better for everyone, and we Northwestern students get to see a slice of that during the four years we spend on campus. From the bike lanes down Sheridan and new developments downtown to the countless less visible programs and initiatives that were implemented during my time at The Daily, I’ve witnessed Evanston residents show up for their city time and time again.

As I wrote more for The Daily, I got less scared of asking questions and more confident in myself, both as a writer and as a person.

The Daily was a place where I got to learn and grow with people who were supportive and just as passionate about making a newspaper as I was.

Sure, I’m grateful for the fact that I get more sleep now that I’m not in the newsroom four nights a week, but I wouldn’t trade those late nights and experiences for anything.

The Daily isn’t perfect, and neither is Evanston, but in my time here, I watched so many staffers and residents work tirelessly to make both

more equitable and inclusive.

The Daily is in such capable hands, and I can’t wait to watch it grow even further in the next four years.

At the end of May, I moved to California to start a job in local news. As I get to know

my new city, I find myself thinking about Evanston ever y day, and wanting to hold people here up to that same standard of involvement.

That’s probably a futile task, but it’s a testament to Evanston and what makes it so special.

MADDIE BURAKOFF // Meet me at Norris

I

never knew how much I could miss a cramped, poorly ventilated, harshly lit office space in the least convenient corner of Norris. Until I was abruptly plucked from campus and dropped into the most socially isolating few months of my young life. That is to say — until now.

Those of you who have seen the Daily newsroom know it isn’t glamorous. It amounts to a few long white tables, some semi-functional desktop computers and a random collection of swivel chairs; the walls are plastered with inside jokes and Dum-Dum wrappers (which are their own kind of inside joke). Still, for much of my college life, that place felt a lot like home.

I came into Northwestern unsure about my major, my career path or my place on campus. I joined The Daily thinking it would be a fun extracurricular. Soon enough, I found myself all-in on The Daily and on journalism: spending my days running around campus to find sources, spending my nights in the newsroom poring over ledes and headlines, Tweets and layouts.

I dedicated a huge portion of my life to The Daily because I loved being part of something that felt really meaningful, and I also loved being surrounded by brilliant and dedicated people — many of whom became my

closest friends. For a time, the newsroom was the one place at Northwestern I could go to and know I’d find a familiar face.

When we spent long hours in Norris, we worked hard and we took our publication seriously; we had difficult conversations and maybe shed a few tears in the -hour stairwell. We also gave each other life advice and laughed a lot and blasted Lizzo at  a.m and watched the sun rise over the Lakefill.

Recently, I’ve been thinking a lot about the simple magic of shared space. For those of us lucky enough to have the means, the past few months have meant a lot of hours spent at home, keeping to ourselves in order to keep our communities healthy. Personally, I’ve just started a new job remotely and will soon graduate remotely, after spending my senior spring learning, chatting and Dillo-ing remotely.

A lot can be accomplished from a distance, and the current editors and writers at The Daily — like their fellow journalists all over the world

— have adapted to keep producing great work in “these unprecedented times.” But a Zoom call can’t hope to capture all the idiosyncrasies of a night in the newsroom: the slightly delirious latenight conversations, the creative give-andtake, the shared drive to produce valuable work.

So how do you measure the output of approximately two billion hours spent in the newsroom? In eight to  pages per night of hard-earned stories and photos?

In more Flaming Hot Cheetos and Norbucks Pink Drinks than our guts knew how to handle? In camera rolls filled up with dumb selfies and improbable nap spots?

For me, giving all that time to the newsroom gave me a lot in return. I now have work I’m really proud of, lifelong friendships and a huge well of weird memories that couldn’t be replicated anywhere else. And because of that, I can’t regret a minute.

JONAH DYLAN //

On the moments we remember

I

t’s something we do all the time with sports; trying to extrapolate meaning from a big moment and figuring out how we can apply that particular lesson to our own daily lives, far removed from arenas or stadiums.

Sometimes the moment is enough without any context, like Jordan’s shot against Utah or Tiger at the  Masters. And then sometimes it’s the context that gives the moment so much meaning. Marcus Paige bending time and space, not knowing that his moment will only last for . seconds; Tyson Fury, already knocked down by drug addiction and mental illness, shaking off a Deontay Wilder two-punch combination like it was a walk in the park.

Sometimes it’s about the moments we’ll always remember, but sometimes it’s about the ones we don’t. Remember Jermaine Kearse’s catch to bring the Seahawks to the goal line in Super Bowl XLIX? So when I look back on all the moments I’ve had at The Daily, one stands out. And it’s not one that most of us will remember, because it didn’t happen in the thick of a game and it didn’t represent a moment of greatness. It still has immense meaning to me.

On the night Fury was rewriting the laws of life and death in Los Angeles, Northwestern was playing for the Big Ten Championship in Indianapolis.

It had been an improbable run, but it was about to come to an end. Ohio State, loaded with three future top-six picks, ran over our beloved Wildcats and booked a one-way ticket to Pasadena.

After the handshakes, the guys in purple made

their way to the locker room, obviously disappointed and dejected. Right before the tunnel, one player stopped and looked back at the middle of the field, at the red-andwhite confetti that littered the field. It was Clayton Thorson.

I remember watching this from the Lucas Oil Stadium press box. One moment, looking back at the field. Maybe he was picturing what the field would’ve looked like if the confetti were purple instead of red. Maybe he was savoring the precious few seconds he had left of a magical run to this spot. Maybe he wanted to remember what it felt like to be this close to something. Maybe it was motivation.

That might make it seem like this is some dreary, sad moment to be clinging on to in my mind. But consider this.

Maybe he was looking at the field, not mourning the run to the Rose Bowl but celebrating everything it took to get there. Gazing at Dwayne Haskins and Chase Young but thinking about the -yard drive to tie the game against Nebraska, the battle against Notre Dame or the dominating win over Wisconsin that had brought them all to this place in this moment. Maybe it was about all those things.

It’s about what it means to work so hard for something only to be denied from it and have to watch someone else celebrating everything it took to reach that moment.

We’re all looking at the field right now from our own vantage points, maybe not alone but socially distanced nonetheless. We’re trying to reflect on the last four years, watching something we don’t want to see but trying to replace that image with the memories that preceded it. We only have a moment to do it before we have to walk off the perpetual field and into the next part of our lives.

So as I try to say goodbye to The Daily, I’m thinking of the people I got to work with and the things I got to do. I might not get to celebrate on the field, but that

doesn’t mean I can’t take a moment to picture it. Or maybe this was all just a ploy to remind everyone of how insane that Marcus Paige shot was. Either way.

FOUR YEARS OF HEADLINES Nov. 3, 2016 Northwestern, Evanston rejoice after Cubs’ World Series win

A curse was lifted, the North Side of Chicago exalted and the Evanston city alarm rang into the night in November  after the Chicago Cubs captured their first world championship in a century.

The Cubs defeated the Cleveland Indians in a heart-pounding, -inning Game  of the World Series, capturing Major League Baseball’s highest prize for the first time in  years.

The victory came after a historic comeback from a - series deficit, something no team has done in a World Series since . The Cubs are also the first team to win Games  and  on the road since the Pittsburgh Pirates managed the feat against the Baltimore Orioles in .

ASG confirms student life co-VP SESP sophomore tapped after prior VP stepped down

By FATHMA RAHMAN

daily senior staffer @fathmarahman

Associated Student Government confirmed SESP sophomore Ben Powell as a new co-vice president for student life at Senate, two weeks after the previous one resigned.

Powell was unanimously nominated by the selection committee and confirmed at Senate on Wednesday night.

In the past, he has served as a residential senator and a senator for a coalition of social justice groups.

“I’ve gotten to work with people on a lot of projects I’ve been really passionate about in ASG,” Powell said when addressing Senate before his confirmation. “I’ve gotten to see the hard work students are doing to improve campus, and I’ve also gotten to see some of the real institutional challenges ASG has in helping these students and addressing their concerns.”

Powell said he applied for the position because many projects he has worked on involve student life, including talks with Real Food at

NU about putting groceries and produce in C-stores and discussions with the Center for Awareness, Response and Education about putting up posters with resources for survivors of sexual assault.

Powell said he has experience with grassroots community advocacy and can use the skills he learned about community organizing in his new position. “(It’s) not just how we’re going to manage this committee and produce these projects, but really how are we going to build student power (and) how are we going to bring people together around the goals we want to accomplish?” he said.

In response to a question about the open student group initiative, Powell said clubs are an important part of the student experience and, as such, need to be provided with better resources, such as more funding and greater access to performance spaces.

Powell also addressed exclusivity, saying some student groups may need to be small to maintain cohesivity.

But he said it can be “incredibly demoralizing” for new students entering “intense” acceptance processes, creating issues of equity and fairness in terms of access.

Faculty Senate discusses calendar City may regulate Shortening quarters by week proposed as alternative to ‘10-5-5-10’

By KELLI NGUYEN

daily senior staffer @kellipnguyen

Faculty Senate discussed shortening each quarter by one week at its meeting Wednesday as an alternative to the so-called “10-5-5-10” calendar, which a Senate report released last month found many departments oppose.

Under the “10-5-5-10” calendar, Northwestern would begin classes in late August and end in late May. Winter Quarter would become two five-week sessions, split by a Winter Break without assignments.

“The data shows that our schedule has significant disadvantages,” said religious studies Prof. Laurie Zoloth, president of Faculty Senate. “Not only for internships but actual jobs for people that need to work, for fellowship deadlines in the fall. The faculty were complaining about the very late ending in June.”

During the meeting Wednesday, Zoloth presented potential changes to the academic calendar. Every quarter would be one

week shorter with three weeks shaved off the entire academic year. If classes started a week earlier in the fall, the quarter could end by Thanksgiving, allowing for a longer winter break. The shortened Winter and Spring Quarters would allow for a longer Spring Break or an earlier finals week during Spring Quarter.

“We wanted to address the fact that we can make life better,” Zoloth said. “That’s the

intent of a senate — making life better for the academic community and for the faculty and of course for the students as well.”

Wednesday’s proposal suggests maintaining the same number of class minutes per quarter, but spread out over 8.33 weeks, Zoloth said. Classes offered three times per week would become 60-minute sessions rather than the current 50-minute sessions. The remaining two days in the ninth week

of the quarter would serve as a University-wide reading period, followed by finals during week 10. Quarters with nine weeks of instruction would be shortened to 7.33 weeks under the proposal.

The proposed schedule would allow for more time with family and more time to travel, Zoloth said. Beginning and ending the academic year earlier would bring the University’s schedule closer to peer institutions and would allow for students to start jobs and internships earlier, she said.

Philosophy Prof. Baron Reed, chair of Faculty Senate’s Educational Affairs committee, said the proposed idea has drawbacks as well. He said shortening quarters would lead to fasterpaced quarters with fewer, but longer, classes. The schedule also raises concerns for work study, extracurriculars and athletics, Reed said.

“The real concern is whether this is going to be something that will increase student stress rather than lower it,” he said.

small cell towers

By RYAN WANGMAN

the daily northwestern @ryanwangman

City staff introduced an ordinance last week to regulate the placement of small cell towers on utility poles in Evanston.

The proposed ordinance comes after Illinois municipalities saw a recent uptick in applications for the installation of small cell towers, when Evanston decided they needed more regulations in place. Mark Muenzer, director of community development for the city, said the ordinance would allow the city to effectively handle the increase.

“A telecommunications company will come in and say, ‘We’re looking at Evanston from this street to eight blocks away, and it covers 20, 30 (or) 40 utility poles.’

So this gives us the ability to kind of look at that in an aggregate and review it,” he said.

The memorandum outlining the cell tower ordinance, crafted by Grant Farrar, corporation counsel, described small cell towers as “a relatively new

technological advance installed in public right-of-ways.” The cells act as a small stand-ins for regular cell towers.

According to the memorandum, the towers are installed on utility poles, street lights or traffic signals located within utility easements or the public right-of-way.

At an Administration and Public Works Committee meeting in October, Farrar said the city had been receiving a lot of questions about the poles, both from city residents and other municipalities who had been noticing the poles as well.

The ordinance will aim to reconcile the “two competing interests” the city has concerning the poles, mainly the needs for functioning technology and safe infrastructure, Farrar said.

“Hopefully (it will) give a good roadmap for staff and for city council and proposed and prospective applicants as to what needs to be done, what some of the aesthetic safety issues that are in play,” he said. “We can bring » See TOWERS, page 6

Provost Jonathan Holloway informed Faculty Senate in January  the University was on track to accumulate a deficit ranging between  million and  million that fiscal year. Holloway originally promised that the University did not plan to lay off any faculty or staff in response to the deficit. Instead, he said the University would likely defer some facilities and information technology projects.

Though hiring had slowed, no layoffs would be made, Holloway told The Daily in May. In

In addition to the layoffs, the University also required that all academic units — such as schools, departments and programs — make a five percent non-salary cut to their budgets. Student groups funded by schools and departments faced thousands of dollars in cuts to their budgets, some of which was offset by emergency funding from the Associated Student Government.

The suspension runs until September 2018, Rowley said.

Former President Barack Obama will make his first public address since leaving the White House at the University of Chicago on Monday.

The conversation — geared toward “young leaders” and invite only — is part of Obama’s postpresidency goal to “encourage

and support the next generation of leaders driven by strengthening communities around the country and the world,” according to a news release. However, the 44th president will abstain from critiquing his successor or offering up an opinion on his new policies, according to The New York Times.

Northwestern had received a “limited” number of tickets for the event, University spokesman Bob Rowley told The Daily in an email. He added that those

tickets would go to students who have an “interest in civic engagement,” but did not elaborate on a method of distribution.

After spending weeks in French Polynesia, Monday’s event will be a homecoming of sorts for the former Illinois state senator — who once represented the neighborhood in which UChicago is located. Obama also taught as a law professor at the university.

Tickets were divvied up between local universities and

organizations, a spokesman for Obama told the Chicago Tribune. Others were distributed to Harold Washington College, Malcolm X College, Kennedy King College, Columbia College, Chicago State University, University of Illinois, Roosevelt University, Kenwood Academy High School, DePaul University and Loyola University. Local organizations that work with minority residents were also given tickets.

Although gun violence in Evanston dipped slightly this past fall and winter compared to the same time period stretching from 2015 into 2016, local leaders say there is still plenty of work to be done to prevent further shootings.

“We don’t have any magic bullet for how we stop it now,” said Nina Kavin, co-founder of “Dear Evanston,” a social media campaign that seeks to raise awareness of local youth violence. “But I do think there are long-term solutions.”

Additionally, EPD saw a reduction in shots fired reports.

The department received 89 reports of shots fired from September 2015 to February 2016, and only 60 reports from the same period in 2016 and 2017, Dugan said. » See VIOLENCE, page 8

CHICAGO — Thousands of students, educators and scientists gathered in downtown Chicago on Saturday to participate in the March for Science, one of hundreds of such marches held worldwide on Earth Day. The march was a response to President Donald Trump’s election and, more recently, an executive order that threatened to remove existing legislation that combats climate change.

March director Kristian Aloma (Communication ’02) told The Daily roughly 50,000 people showed up on Saturday, 10,000 more than organizers expected.

He said he hoped the organization behind the March for Science in Chicago would continue to operate after the protest.

Before marching, protesters assembled along Columbus Drive to hear five speakers

“Both the University and the national chapter of the fraternity began investigations after being made aware of those events.”

— including Emily Graslie, chief curiosity correspondent at the Field Museum — discuss the importance of society’s role in science.

“Help elevate the voice of scientists; speak up for science,” Graslie told the crowd. “We’re educators, artists, communicators and writers, and passionate lifelong learners who have an obligation and mission to help others understand and empathize with our beautiful, fragile world.”

On the March for Science Facebook page, organizers described the march as “nonpartisan” and standing for “evidence-based policies that are built on an ethical approach to science.”

However, marchers carried signs that referenced Trump’s policies and executive orders with phrases like “Protect Bees, Not Borders.” Other signs played off Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign slogan, saying “I’m with her” pointing to a picture of the Earth.

Demonstrators said they came to the march for a variety of reasons, including protesting » See MARCH, page 8

Confusion has surrounded the mayoral election since Miller filed his petitions in November, which was early than city officials had specified.

At the time, the city clerk’s office had declared the proper filing dates to be in December.

However, Miller filed weeks earlier, citing a 1992 Evanston referendum that said a primary must be held in a mayoral election if there are more than two candidates. Tendam, businessman Steve Hagerty, and former Evanston Township supervisor Gary Gaspard rushed to file soon after.

The city released a video Wednesday evening showing the 2015 arrest of Northwestern graduate student Lawrence Crosby, showing Evanston police kneeing him and punching his legs.

Crosby, a PhD candidate in the McCormick, was arrested on Oct. 10, 2015, after someone mistook him for stealing a car that he owned. He was charged with disobedience to police. Following the dismissal of his charges at trial, Crosby filed a lawsuit against the city, which is ongoing.

The Evanston Police Department released the video, which compiles footage from Crosby’s personal dashboard camera, police dashboard cameras and audio recordings of the 911 call that prompted the arrest, as well as conversations between police officers.

In an opening segment, Sgt. Dennis Leaks justified the use of force by police, saying it complied with police procedures.

He added that Evanston police have reviewed the incident further and “determined that we will no longer require subjects to be proned during these types of stops, as we acknowledge and realize that there are some problematic issues that come with that: locations of the stop, weather conditions, and it gives a bad perception.”

On the night of the arrest, a 911 call was placed to EPD by a woman who reported a man was breaking into a car. That man turned out to be Crosby, who is black, and the car was his own. When he heard the woman honk her car horn at him repeatedly, he got into his car and drove away. The woman followed him in her own car and informed police of where he was driving.

Police then pulled Crosby over and he exited his car unprompted, with his hands in the air and a cellphone in his hand, according to the video footage and police reports.

Police ordered Crosby to get on the ground. He resisted

Bienen Prof. Bob Hasty, also a member of the Student Affairs committee, said the purpose of the resolution is to encourage, but not force, faculty to include similar wording.

Springen said the inclusion of supportive language in syllabi is “absolutely optional” but can help students feel more comfortable reaching out to professors. Such language allows students to see that professors care about them and are accessible, she said.

The decision came two days after the board first met to hear Smith’s objections and ensures the mayoral primary scheduled for Feb. 28. It was the second decision the board has issued in this election season. In late December, the board overruled objections made by a supporter of candidate Ald. Brian Miller (9th). Objections made by the same supporter, William Arndt, against Ald. Mark Tendam (6th) were withdrawn before the hearing.

And just like that, the Northwestern alumna became royalty.

It was a ceremony to

remember for sure — rooted in British traditions like myrtle in the bride’s bouquet and guests wearing fascinators, but also featuring nods to Markle’s African-American heritage like a gospel choir singing a rendition of the 1960s classic “Stand

About 40 people gathered in front of U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky’s (D-Ill.) district office Friday to call on her to condemn Israeli forces for killing dozens of Palestinians in Gaza.

Jewish Voice for Peace Chicago, an organization that supports the human rights of Palestinians and “all peoples of the Middle East,” organized the demonstration. Participants heard from speakers and held a moment of recognition to honor the Palestinians who had been killed since March 30, when a series of protests began along the Gaza border. Several Evanston residents attended the gathering.

On May 14, Israeli forces killed at least 58 Palestinians protesting along the border on the same day the United States opened its relocated embassy in Jerusalem, CNN reported.

According to CNN, it was the “deadliest day” there since the war in 2014.

Some protesters held the

names of the Palestinians, and others raised signs reading “Rep. Schakowsky: Jews say condemn Israeli killings in Gaza” and “Rep Jan - How is Gaza on May 14, 2018 not like Warsaw on May 14, 1943?”

Participants also placed small stones and flowers along with the names outside of Schakowsky’s office as part of a Jewish tradition to place stones on grave sites, according to a Jewish Voice for Peace news release.

Lynn Pollack, a member of Jewish Voice for Peace Chicago, said she was drawn to live in Evanston about 40 years ago because of the progressive values the city “embodies,” but feels disappointed with Schakowsky’s recent statements about the killings.

“As a Jew for whom values of justice are intrinsically connected with my identity, I am appalled that Israel claims to do these things in my name,” Pollack said. “It’s so painful to feel the disappointment that I do in the face of (Schakowsky’s) uncharacteristic reticence to stake out a clear moral position in the face of Israel’s human rights violations.”

Faculty discuss royal family's image

On eve of royal wedding, history professors talk Markle's influence

By WILSON CHAPMAN

the daily northwestern @wilsonchapman10

On the eve of Meghan Markle (Communication ’03) and Prince Harry’s wedding, two Northwestern professors discussed the history of the British royal family — and why the U.S is so invested in them — during a Friday event in Harris Hall.

Markle, who graduated from NU with a double major in theater and international studies, became the Duchess of Sussex

through her marriage on Saturday. Her induction into the British royal family has been widely called a socially significant event for England — her background as a divorced, mixed-race American stands contrary to the typical image of the royal family, history Prof. Deborah Cohen said.

“If (the royal family is) smart, they’ll view her as an opportunity — as I think they have in a sense with the Duchess of Cambridge — an opportunity to go back to Victoria’s idea of modeling a normal family life, and a normal family life means,

also, an outward facing, much more relaxed and modern life,” Cohen said.

Cohen and history Prof.

Scott Sowerby discussed a wide variety of topics relating to the royal family, many of which revolved around the public’s perception of and preoccupation with them.

Sowerby discussed the historical portrayals of royal family members through the lenses of TV series like “The Crown” and other media. Many members of the royal family, he said, are often portrayed in

entertainment media as either tyrants or as prisoners in a “gilded cage.”

He added that some media outlets often portray royalty as undesirable and destroy the glamour it might otherwise hold.

“They’re reassuring you that you wouldn’t want to be a monarch because either you’d be a terrible person, who’s trying to persecute people, or you’d be totally miserable, so you should just be happy with your life,” » See MONARCHY, page 6

A&O celebrates 50th anniversary Students, alumni host reunion during Homecoming

By ALEX SCHWARTZ

daily senior staffer @alexpshorts

Hot coffee, hot water, six styrofoam cups, six tea bags, one pint of milk, one pint of cream, four fresh lemons, six spoons…and two pints of Kentucky bourbon: So read the list of green room items Bob Dylan required in his contract rider when A&O Productions brought him to Northwestern in 1991.

This and other documents, laid out on tables in the Norris University Center’s Northwestern Room on Friday afternoon, transported A&O members past and present through the organization’s rich history in celebration of its 50th anniversary. Current board members and alumni flipped through old event posters, promoter passes, contracts and campus media coverage, sharing stories about how they created these experiences for their fellow students.

On a table lay a ticket for Jerry Seinfeld’s 1990 visit.

A&O alumnus John Nieman (Weinberg ’90) worked to bring Seinfeld and other artists and speakers to campus in the late ’80s.

“Each one of these offers and pictures and telegrams and contracts — they all bring it back to life,” Nieman said.

Eyeing the typewritten legal jargon, autographed flyers and yellowing copies of The Daily arranged around the room, some students found themselves surprised at how many legendary celebrities their predecessors brought to campus.

Founded in 1969, A&O was originally an alternative body for campus entertainment that didn’t revolve around Greek life. In observance of its semicentennial, Annie Parker, development cochair for A&O, said she spent a lot of time looking through the organization’s archives in its Norris University Center office.

“I ended up coming up with just a ton of different documents and stuff that I really wanted everybody on A&O to see,” the Weinberg senior said.

Bob Nissen (Weinberg ’71, Kellogg ’75), the second-ever chair of A&O, reached out to Parker earlier this year to organize a Homecoming event for the organization’s alumni.

Tracking down folks from the early days of A&O was no easy task, but current members helped find their emails using the Northwestern alumni directory CATalyzer, Parker said. » See A&O, page 6

During her junior year at Northwestern, Julia Louis-Dreyfus performed in the Mee-Ow show.

After the final performance, a producer from “Saturday Night Live” came up to her and a few of her co-stars and asked them if they wanted to be in the next season of the show. Her response?

“Uh, yeah!”

Louis-Dreyfus spoke about

her time at Northwestern at Cahn Auditorium on Sunday to a soldout house. The Chicago Humanities Festival hosted the event for its 30th anniversary celebration.

Louis-Dreyfus’ talk was part of the festival’s Elaine and Roger Haydock Humor Series, which interviews comedians about their careers. The actress is an eleventime Emmy award winner, receiving wide acclaim for her roles in “Seinfeld,” “The New Adventures of Old Christine” and “Veep.”

In its second biggest fundraiser of the year, the Evanston Animal Shelter hosted a dog costume contest and walkathon Saturday morning, featuring dogs in costumes ranging from rocket ships to Scar and Simba.

The annual contest raised over $30,000 for Evanston’s largest animal welfare non-profit. This year, the event, called Trick or Treat Trot for Tails, left its previous location, Centennial Park, for the home of the Evanston History Center, the Charles Gates Dawes House.

“We’re always looking for a way to reach out,” said Grace Lehner, Directory of Archives at the Evanston History Center, “And we thought this fundraiser would be a fun way to greet a new group.”

Shannon Daggett, director of community engagement for the

shelter, said the event brought in 80 registrants to the new, larger space at the Evanston History Center, along with four puppies and four dogs currently looking for families at the Evanston Animal Shelter.

Three judges from the shelter’s board of directors selected the best costume in a parade of several dogs.

Dressed as the beloved Peanuts’ dog, Roy won first prize for his costume as Snoopy, piloting his doghouse against his eternal rival, the Red Baron. Roy’s owners, Dino and Natalie Northway, adopted him from the Evanston Animal Shelter several years ago and bring him to Trot for Tails every year.

“It’s just so fun for Halloween,” Natalie Northway said. “Roy was a stegosaurus last year, a full costume… all you could see was his face.”

Also appearing in the parade, adorned with a blossoming flower, was Melie, another dog adopted from the shelter.

She originally came to the shelter barely breathing and required immediate veterinary care to survive. She had lost two-thirds of her » See DOGS, page 6

Report: Holloway to leave NU admin.

Provost to become Rutgers president, according to report

By TROY CLOSSON

daily senior staffer @troy_closson

Provost Jonathan Holloway is reportedly set to leave Northwestern to become the first black president of Rutgers University, according to a report from NJ Advance Media.

Holloway is expected to be named president on Tuesday, though the hiring is not final and is pending approval by Rutgers’ Board of Governors and Board of Trustees, according to NJ Advance Media.

A Northwestern spokesperson did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Holloway took over as Northwestern’s provost in Summer 2017, coming to the University as the former dean of Yale College.

In his two and a half years in Evanston, Holloway implemented a new review process for deans, helped start the Undergraduate Student Lifecycle Initiative to support first-generation

and low-income students and launched Books for Cats as a program to loan students STEM textbooks.

Holloway also served as provost through Northwestern’s budget deficit and during student pushback to visiting professor Satoshi Kanazawa last winter.

Northwestern’s previous provost Daniel Linzer served in the role for about ten years.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy tweeted about the news on Sunday afternoon saying “Dr. Holloway clearly showed he had the vision & experience to put the needs of students first & lead Rutgers to the next level.”

Before he became dean at Yale College in July 2014, Holloway was chair of Yale’s African-American studies department. Holloway also teaches history and American studies, and he specializes in post-emancipation U.S. history.

He completed his bachelor’s degree in American studies at Stanford University, af ter which he earned three degrees at Yale, including a Ph.D. in history.

Thompson, the center’s director of education, wrote “The Takeover 1968,” released in June 2019, and presented the book to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Less than a month after King was murdered, students presented a list of demands to University officials to promote racial equality. However, about two weeks after that, students felt the University still hadn’t addressed their concerns, and on May 3, 1968, the takeover of the Bursar’s Office began.

SEEN NOT HEARD After split from Cru, Impact looks toward future at Northwestern

By CASSIDY JACKSON

daily senior staffer @cassidykjackson

When Sarabi Woods (Weinberg ’18) saw a lack of racial diversity in religious groups on campus, she took matters into her own hands. The year was 2017, and Woods decided to form Northwestern’s chapter of Impact, a black Christian organization. But by the end of her time at Northwestern, the group became more than a space for prayer.

“Oh man, Impact is some of my best memories of college, like watching our freshman girls turn into sophomore girls and start leading Bible studies of their own, and watching them growing deeper in their faith,” Woods said. “All of those were just wonderful memories. College overall was not the best, but Impact made it worth it.”

As Woods reminisced on the group’s beginnings, however, she couldn’t separate its start from the conflict that surrounded it.

For the past three years, Impact functioned as a subsidiary of Cru, an interdenominational Christian organization. But those ties ended this past summer after ongoing tensions came to a head.

The two chapters parted ways on Northwestern’s campus, and Impact student leaders said the decision wasn’t mutual — after Impact members expressed frustrations with various Cru practices, meetings between the groups went awry, students felt manipulated by full-time staff members and communication went from strained to nearly nonexistent. The schism was announced at Cru’s annual Leadership Summit, where few Impact members were present.

However, Weinberg junior Nadia Hundley said the split is for the best.

“It’s not good to be in a relationship where you’re giving all you can and nothing is really being reciprocated back,” Hundley said. “Being separate, we really have the freedom to come into our own ... especially now that we have recognition from the University.”

Last November, Impact applied to be recognized as an official student organization for the third time

and was finally accepted. The organization hosted their first Bible studies in Lunt Hall, and while Woods said it wasn’t the nicest room, it was a muchneeded home for the group.

“I think in the beginning it was like, ‘Okay, this room is kind of dusty,’” Woods said. “But then after us being in it for our first meetings, it was like, ‘All right, this is our room. This is our spot. You know where to find us.’”

During Fall Quarter, the organization expanded their programming to include a new series called Chat & Chew. A few times a month, Impact members discuss the intersectionality of culture and Christianity.

For SESP junior Chestan James, Impact has served as a safe space centered around God’s love.

“Life has been tough and just to be there ... and being encouraged by them and showing the hope that we have in Jesus was just an intimate time where we were able to come together within our struggles and experience hope together,” James said.

“That helped me through last night and through

Illistration by Emma Ruck

today, and that’s happened countless times within Impact.”

Impact’s been a safe space for Hundley as well.

Before the organization’s split from Cru, Hundley was able to vent about her experience in Cru with other members of Impact.

“We would hang out and I was like, ‘Wow, I really like these people. They don’t make me feel like I feel in Cru,’” Hundley said. “They let me vent when I needed to vent and they made me feel heard. And now people in Impact are like, we’re a good squad.

Impact’s going strong.” cassidyjackson2021@u.northwestern.edu Scan this QR code with Snapchat or your smartphone camera to listen to episode one of an audio InFocus about Impact’s split from Cru

Trustees reject Fossil Free proposal NU board chooses not to join other schools in divesting

By YUNKYO KIM

Expanding health services, increasing accessibility to facilities and supporting identity are among seven recommendations outlined in a 82-page report compiled by members of Northwestern’s Gender-Queer, NonBinary, and Trans Task Force.

The report includes key requests, action items, desired outcomes and deadlines in order to put equity into action to support transgender, non-conforming and non-binary individuals at Northwestern.

“We assessed the current landscape to identify gaps in policies and resources, and to recommend strategies that will facilitate an accessible, safe, and welcoming campus environment for trans and gender-nonconforming students, faculty and staff at Northwestern,” the report said.

The task force was led by Sekile Nzinga, interim chief diversity officer and director of the women’s center and Héctor Carrillo, sociology professor and co-director of the Sexualities Project at Northwestern. A team of more than 70 students, faculty and administrators convened monthly from October 2018 and June 2019 to compile research for the report.

The report highlights recommendations like affirmations of names and identities and expansion of health services and resources. The University further needs to prioritize cultivation of gender-inclusive environments as well as facilities, promote genderinclusive residential services and support the community by creating consistent conversation and collaboration, it said.

Carrillo said when he was asked to chair the initiative, the task force was working with the foundation of research conducted by student groups.

In the 2018-2019 year, the LGBTQ+ Advisory Board at Multicultural Student Affairs conducted a survey to 123 students who identified as genderqueer, non-binary, transgender.

The results contributed to identifying the recommendations.

The Northwestern community can achieve this by taking specific actions, the report states. For example, it proposes the University creates a “onestop” mechanism that standardizes names, pronouns and name

The Investment Committee of the Board of Trustees rejected Fossil Free Northwestern’s divestment proposal calling for the University to divest from any of the top 100 coal and oil and gas companies, the committee announced in a Thursday statement.

The proposal, which was recommended for board consideration by the Advisory Committee on Investment Responsibility in June 2019, also called for Northwestern to reinvest in non-fossil fuel companies, particularly those with an emphasis on renewable energy.

The decision comes just days after Fossil Free Northwestern held a die-in protest and environmental justice teach-in as part of Global Divestment Day, criticizing the University’s financial investments and instructing others about the impact of the fossil fuel industry on marginalized communities.

The Investment Committee wrote in their statement that the proposal did not meet the divestment criteria outlined in the Statement on Investment Responsibility. That statement was adopted by the board in November 2019, several months after Fossil Free had submitted its proposal to the board.

“The Investment Committee does not believe the proposed divestment would generate tangible and positive change toward FFN’s goals related to climate change,” the statement regarding the decision said. “The recommended sale of Northwestern’s holdings in these firms would not have any impact on the ability of the targeted companies to conduct their businesses.”

Divesting would not change the demand for fossil fuels, the statement also said, which it argued is the true determiner of fossil fuel companies’ products.

In 2015, the board also rejected another Fossil Free Northwestern proposal, one that solely called on the University to divest from coal companies.

MLK speaker talks economic equality Anderson discusses supporting blackowned businesses

By ZOE MALIN

the daily northwestern @zoermalin

Maggie Anderson advocated for economic equality for the black community during Northwestern’s 2019 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration keynote speech Monday.

Anderson is the CEO of the Empowerment Experiment Foundation and author of the book “Our Black Year: One Family’s Quest to Buy Black in America’s Racially Divided Economy.” In her speech, she discussed her efforts to support blackowned businesses throughout the past 10 years and pushed forth the message Dr. King wished for in his last ever speech, “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop”: uniting for economic justice and empowerment.

“When we lift each other up, even when we need lifting ourselves, we cannot only see over the mountaintop; we move mountains,” Anderson said. “I’m going to go out fighting for this. Are you?”

The event, held in PickStaiger Concert Hall and attended by about 70 people, also featured musical performances by groups including Soul4Real a cappella. Medill Prof. Ava Thompson Greenwell, one of three co-chairs for the event, said Anderson was selected as the keynote speaker due to her ability to put emphasis on Dr. King’s economic dream. She said this dream is not considered enough.

“We wanted a speaker who could not only inspire but create a call to action,” Greenwell said. She added that she was confident in Anderson’s ability to do so because of her 2009 Empowerment Experiment, which Anderson described as the first ever real-life case study in self-help economics.

In that experiment, Anderson said her family dedicated themselves to what she said “proved our love for our hurting community” by only supporting black businesses and professionals for a year. She cited Barack Obama’s election as inspiration for the experiment, as well as the need she saw to “promote action, unity and dialogue about the black community’s economic disparity.” » See KEYNOTE, page 6

REWIND THE TAPE

March 2, 2017 Derek Pardon and Nathan Taphorn make jaw-dropping play against Michigan

Nathan Taphorn tossed a picture-perfect fullcourt inbound pass with . seconds remaining to Dererk Pardon, who laid in a bucket as time expired to give the Wildcats an unforgettable - win over Michigan — and essentially clinch their first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance.

Students stormed the court of the old WelshRyan Arena, mobbing Taphorn, Pardon, Bryant McIntosh, coach Chris Collins and the rest of the team in a celebration  years in the making.

August 23, 2018 Olivia Rosendahl wins national titles Rosendahl won consecutive NCAA cham- pionships in -meter platform diving in  and , making her one of Northwestern’s most accomplished individual athletes ever. She was also NU’s first Big Ten Diver of the Year and a multiple-time All-American.

Maybe most impressively for Rosendahl, who has also won four national diving titles? NU’s diving facility has no -meter platform on which to train.

November 2, 2018 Welsh-Ryan reopens after renovation University president Morton Schapiro, athletic director Jim Phillips and others cut a purple ribbon to open the new arena in .

March 16, 2017 Men’s Basketball makes it to the Big Dance for the first time

May 25, 2017 Women’s Golf heads to national championships

In its NCAA Tournament debut, Northwestern showed it belonged.

The eighth-seeded Wildcats led ninthseeded Vanderbilt for the vast majority of their first-round matchup, then survived some late dramatics as McIntosh sunk the decisive free throws in the final minute.

In the second round, NU trailed Gonzaga — which went on to finish as national runnerup — by a large margin in the first half, but battled back spiritedly after the break before the infamous missed goaltending call stalled the rally.

Northwestern women’s golf fell just short of the  national title, falling to Arizona State in the championship match, but their dramatic run through the tournament — fittingly held just west of Chicago, in Sugar Grove — felt equivalent to a title.

Led by Kacie Komoto, Hannah Kim and Janet Mao, the Wildcats took first place in the stroke play portion of the NCAA Championship, dispatched Kent State in the quarterfinals and then collectively roared back from a dire situation to stun USC in the semifinals.

December 2, 2018 Football wins Big Ten West title, heads to championship game in Indianapolis Despite losing all three non-conference games in , Northwestern won a remarkable eight of nine Big Ten contests to secure a berth in the conference championship game “This is a transformational moment for us,” Phillips said.

Almost everything about the arena was new and sleek compared to the pre-construction look. Except for the student section, all the seats in the arena are normal event seats with cushioning. The scoreboard over the middle of the court was new and an additional ribbon scoreboard was added that encircles the building.

for the first time since the current format began.

Seniors Clayton Thorson, Flynn Nagel, Montre Hartage helped guide the Wildcats to upset wins over Michigan State, Wisconsin and Iowa en route to clinching the West Division title with three games left to play.

A Homecoming comeback for the ages to top Nebraska in overtime, however, likely takes the cake as the most memorable game of the season.

Though NU lost to Ohio State in the Big Ten title game, the Cats capped the season with a surreal comeback victory against Utah in the Holiday Bowl.

April 1, 2019 Women’s Basketball reaches WNIT finals After several trying years marked by tragedy and disappointment, veteran NU coach Joe McKeown steered his  group to postseason win after postseason win, culminating in a championship

May 3, 2019 Softball wins 20th game in a row Northwestern finished the season -, its best record since , and the Wildcats’  Big Ten wins were their most in program history. They had a -game winning streak that lasted from late March

to early May and won their first  games in conference play.

Along the way, NU put itself back in the national softball spotlight and created a palpable buzz on campus.

February 29, 2020 Women’s Basketball wins Big Ten for first time since 1990 For the first time in  years, NU clinched a share of the conference championship.

Behind  points and nine rebounds from senior center Abbie Wolf and a defensive effort that forced  turnovers, the Cats (-, - Big Ten) cruised to a - win over in-state rival Illinois (-, -) on Saturday to give NU its first Big Ten title since the - season.

Junior guard Lindsey Pulliam, senior forward Abi Scheid and sophomore guard Veronica Burton added  combined points as the Cats set a record for program wins in front of a ,-person crowd at Welsh-Ryan Arena, its largest for a women’s game since its reopening in the fall of .

“It means the world,” Pulliam said. “It was so awesome to have all that energy in there and have all those people to support us. It obviously makes us play better and makes us give more effort.”

At the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships, Aubrey Roberts made history, becoming the first woman in Northwestern history to earn All-American honors at the meet after her th-place finish in the ,-meter event.

Her performance followed a successful fall season — when she became the first female cross country All-American in program history.

game loss in the Women’s NIT to Arizona.

“They made an incredible run,” McKeown said after the final loss. “I want them to feel like they want another taste of this.”

November 23, 2019 Joe Gaziano breaks NU sack record In Northwestern’s - loss to Minnesota on Senior Day, senior defensive end Joe Gaziano broke the school’s all-time sacks record, capping off a fantastic career in purple and white.

He earned career sack number . halfway through the second quarter in forcing intentional grounding, resulting in a safety to earn him the sack and the record.

May 19, 2019 Lacrosse sees first Final Four since 2014 For the first time since  — one year after the program’s run of seven consecutive national titles ended — Northwestern lacrosse advanced to the Final Four in .

Selena Lasota, named the Big Ten Attacker of the Year, led the Wildcats to a - record, including long-awaited wins over Maryland in the Big Ten championship game and Syracuse in the Elite Eight.

March 12, 2020 Big Ten cancels all athletic events until 2020-2021 academic year

Daily file photo by Joshua Hoffman

As COVID- cases and concerns associated with the disease began to rise nationally, the NCAA and the Big Ten announced they would cancel all upcoming games, including those that take place after the academic year concludes. The conference also announced a memorandum on all on- and off-campus

recruiting efforts.

Northwestern had  sports in season, and those seasons abruptly ended. Women’s basketball was expected to earn a top-four seed and host NCAA Tournament games at Welsh-Ryan Arena next week, and those games no longer occurred.
