Letter from the Editor: Nora Shelly Hello!

Thank you for picking up the commencement issue of The Daily. I have to say that putting together this fairly straightforward issue has been rather difficult - where did all our energy go?

Ah, yes, all of my ambition for anything related to college drained out of me as soon as I turned in my last paper. Sound familiar at all? But, I am thankful to have gotten the chance to act like a Daily editor again. Working here was really formative for me and I am really thankful I got to have this experience.

I am not very prone to self reflection, except for after every single time I have to leave a voicemail for anyone older than me. (Why do my words not make sense?? Why do I sound like that????).

But going through all our coverage from the past four years to do the years in review and the photo spreads has been a bit cathartic. (I’m really glad I never have to write about the budget deficit or the swatting incident ever again). And it has led me to reflect on my experience at The Daily and on this campus.

As I’m sure a lot of people would probably agree, The Daily is an imperfect organization. No one knows that more than me and the other graduating staff members. But, I can’t say enough how sure I am that the rising staff members are guiding The Daily on the right path, and I hope that we’ve left this paper, and this University, a little bit better than how we found it.

So I hope that leafing through this paper may spur some self reflection in you as it has for me. And, if it doesn’t, turn it into confetti or use it to pack up your more fragile belongings.

Happy graduation.

than 400 respondents reported that they had already cut the number of clients they serve.

In Evanston, the impact of the state budget crisis on human services providers depends largely on the portion of the organization’s own budget that is supported by the state. Youth and Opportunity United, which receives 3 percent of its funding from the state, has been able to avoid services reductions entirely, said YOU’s executive director Seth Green.

But Shore Community Services — which is 70 percent state-funded — has been at risk of major programming cuts, said Johanna Garsenstein, the organization’s director of administrative services.

During the past few months, city manager Wally Bobkiewicz has been working to secure Evanston’s own financial future by introducing remedies such as fee increases for residents and a furlough day for city employees. Since the beginning of July, Bobkiewicz said Evanston human services providers have sought alternatives to replace missing state funds through private donors and lines of credit.

“They have begged, borrowed and done what they’ve needed to do to keep their doors open,” Bobkiewicz said. “My sense is that their ability to do that is coming to an end.”

In the past few months, Andrea Densham, executive director of Childcare Network of Evanston, said she has seen a ripple effect of eligibility cuts to the state’s Child Care Assistance Program. While CCAP used to be available to families living up to 185 percent above the poverty

IN HIS HONOR John Thumel, a McCormick senior, died in July after suffering injuries in a car crash. The crash occurred in Texas, where Thumel was working as an engineering intern.

Funds raised to honor Thumel

By PAIGE LESKIN

daily senior staffer @paigeleskin

A scholarship for members of Sigma Chi fraternity is in the works following the death of member John Thumel in July.

Representatives from the Sigma Chi Foundation, 1714 Hinman Ave., Thumel’s family and Sigma Chi’s Northwestern chapter are collaborating on a $1000-a-year scholarship in memory of the McCormick senior. Thumel died from injuries sustained in a July 24 car crash in south Texas.

The scholarship is being created to honor Thumel and “keep John’s name alive for years to come,” said Tom Van Winkle, the foundation’s associate director of development. He said $25,000 has to

be raised to endow the scholarship before it can be awarded in the spring.

So far, $20,000 has already been donated, said Communication senior Dan Rufolo, a friend of Thumel and a member of Sigma Chi. Rufolo is one of five students who, along with Thumel’s father Mike Thumel, serve on the board of directors for the scholarship. In regular meetings every other week, the team has worked to solidify the principles that applying Sigma Chi members should have. The tentative requirements include both academic criteria — such as being a science, technology, engineering or mathematics major and having at least a 3.0 GPA — and devotion to the “3 F’s:” friends, family and faith, Rufolo said.

“My wife and I are overwhelmed with the thoughtfulness of the fraternity and

the speed at which they (established) it,” Mike Thumel said. “It’s more of a testament of who my son was. He could do good even in death.”

Mike Thumel said he continues to hear new stories about Thumel’s compassion and humor, which assures him that his son “did things right.”

To raise the funds, Sigma Chi members and Thumel’s family have reached out to relatives, friends and NU Sigma Chi alumni. The board is also looking into holding a fundraiser at Bat 17 in late fall or early winter — hockey-themed to commemorate Thumel’s love for the Chicago Blackhawks and the sport.

Although the scholarship will not go into effect until the full $25,000 is raised, Rufolo and the board already have their » See THUMEL, page 13

After nearly three months without a state budget, the Illinois government is forecasting a growing pile of unpaid bills that will impact the ability of human services agencies to deliver care to vulnerable populations such as children and the elderly.

There have been a variety of legal and legislative avenues keeping the state government running without a budget since July 1 — including court orders, consent decrees and continuing appropriations freeing funds to pay about 90 percent of the state’s bills, Illinois Comptroller Leslie Munger said at a press conference earlier this month. However, without an agreement between the General Assembly and Gov. Bruce Rauner, the backlog of bills will exceed $8.5 billion by the end of December, Munger said.

Without state payments, many social services agencies in the state will end up depleting their cash reserves by the end of the year, said Jack Kaplan, director of public policy and advocacy at United Way of Metropolitan Chicago. As a result, those agencies are facing cuts to staff and services, Kaplan said.

“Starting in September and October, you’re really starting to see a threat to the capacity of a lot of providers to operate at the same level they have been,” he said.

In a survey administered to social service providers in mid-July by UWMC, a nonprofit that provides financial support for local organizations, one third of more

Elder lunch cut, sales tax added in dining hall changes

By EMILY CHIN

daily senior staffer @emchin24

Students will no longer be able to eat lunch at Elder Dining Hall and those without a meal plan will be charged a sales tax at dining halls as part of Northwestern Dining changes this year.

After feedback from a survey Spring Quarter, NU Dining decided to eliminate lunch at Elder and replace it with Late Night Dining, available using a non-equivalency meal swipe. This decision, made late June, is because students do not have time to walk up to Elder for lunch

Evanston man dies 3 days after shooting

The 45-year-old man who was shot in central Evanston earlier this week died Friday afternoon from a gunshot wound to his head, police said.

Cesario Cox Sr., an Evanston resident, was shot Tuesday at about 5:20 p.m. while on the back porch of a

during the day, said Rachel Tilghman, director of communications and engagement for Sodexo.

Communication sophomore Julianne Lang, who was a Sodexo marketing intern last year, said Sodexo was noticing people did not like Elder and wanted to change it. She said she believes serving late-night at Elder will be popular among students.

“I lived in Willard last year and I really loved being able to go to Fran’s late at night,” she said. “I think Elder will be just as successful,” she said.

Those on a meal plan who pay for all or part of their meal using a meal swipe, equivalency meals, points or Cat Cash do not have to pay the 9

percent sales tax, which took effect Sept. 1.

Previously, all purchases at NU Dining locations were tax free. NU Dining made the change to match Illinois tax laws and billing procedures, Tilghman said.

“It would make us be in compliance with what every other business does,” said Ken Field, director of dining. “We are open to the public and we are competing with other businesses. … It’s just good businesses practices and we want to make sure we are operating with integrity and paying our fair share to the state.”

house in the 1900 block of Emerson Street, a block away from Evanston Township High School, Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said. Cox was with several other individuals when four men approached through an alley and opened fire, Dugan said.

Cox died in Evanston Hospital.

This is the third homicide in Evanston this year.

Investigators do not believe Cox was the intended target of the shooting, which may be in retaliation to a gun-related homicide in north

Evanston on Aug. 31, Dugan said.

Police have found that multiple individuals who were with Cox at the time of the shooting are linked to a gang opposing the one allegedly involved in the Aug. 31 incident, he said.

“The most likely assumption is that they were targeting those individuals,” Dugan said.

The residence targeted in Tuesday’s shooting was also the location of shots fired in the early hours of Sept. 1, Dugan said. An officer heard

several gunshots in the area at about 1:40 a.m. but found nothing on the scene, he said. At about 10:30 a.m., a resident of the 1900 block of Emerson Street reported to police that she had found bullets inside her vehicle.

In response to the trend of gunrelated crimes following the Aug. 31 shooting, the Evanston Police Department has implemented a program aimed at reducing violence in Evanston, particularly in the locations of shots fired reports, Dugan said.

Starting this past week, two officers have been deployed each day to those hotspots with the intention of recovering firearms. The officers are tasked with using tips from confidential informants and social media to locate offenders and conduct investigative stops. To address community concern, police will also visit the affected areas — including schools, businesses and parks — to discuss gun violence in the city.

THE DAILY NORTHWESTERN | GRADUATION ISSUE 3

MONDAY, JUNE 17, 2019

SENIOR REFLECTIONS Rishika Dugyala | Facing my flaws at The Daily We have a tradition at The Daily: At the end of your last quarter, you give a senior speech. Some people plan for it, most word-vomit. Some remain stoic, most shed a tear or feel their voice crack. I word vomited. And yes, my voice cracked. But as I spewed out a timeline of everything memorable that happened to me as a Daily staffer, I realized I grew the most as a person — not just a journalist — in this small, cramped newsroom, which people usually only visit for free Blaze coupons.

Exhibit A: I started saying my name the right way. ‘Twas Winter Quarter of freshman year when another reporter discovered my name wasn’t Rish-EEH-kah, with the emphasis on the second syllable. It was RISH-ih-kah, with emphasis on the first. Consequently, I got a lot of lowkey shade.

At first, I didn’t understand why people were annoyed. It was MY name. My friends back home, the non-brown ones, still don’t say it the right way.

My parents regularly alter their names for people outside of our culture (my mother “Anuradha” is “Anu,” and my father “Murali” is “Max”).

For many South Asians, it’s a fact of life that your name probably won’t be pronounced correctly the first two or three or hundred times. But all of a sudden, at The Daily, my name was being pronounced correctly. And not because I did anything differently, but because other people cared enough to make it happen.

Exhibit B: I learned what it meant to be a racial minority. I grew up in the Bay Area, California, in a town that was majority-Asian. Being at Northwestern and in a predominantly white newsroom was an eye-opener. It showed me how we as journalists, as clever and insightful and #woke as we like to say we are, can uphold the same bulls**t stereotypes. I constantly felt like I had to work harder as a female journalist of color. That pressure came from reconciling the strict professional standards drilled into my head, with real and honest empathy.

We sometimes got upset at making mistakes because that meant having a correction, when we should have been upset at getting someone’s story wrong and making the wrong impact. We sometimes got annoyed when marginalized groups refused to talk to us — not recognizing that people don’t owe us their time and words and thoughts.

Not recognizing that The Daily and most media organizations have racist pasts, and people are well within their rights to be skeptical.

Exhibit C: I realized that accepting the flaws of an industry you love is hard, but changing it is even harder. Especially because I am not immune to making those same mistakes, regardless of the identities I hold. No one is protected from screwing up. As a desk editor and managing editor, I’ve sent people to cover events involving or celebrating other marginalized groups, without adequate preparation. Preparation that should have included a) doing waaaay more background research, and most importantly b) understanding cultural norms/how to be sensitive in the field.

As a reporter, I have been schooled by sources when I’ve phrased a question ignorantly, schooled by fellow newsroom staffers when they’ve caught identity-based errors in my stories, and schooled by friends when I’ve taken myself too seriously.

Effectively, I’ve been knocked down my high horse many a time — and deservingly so.

The Daily was that magical space for me, the space where I confronted my flaws and started trying to get past them. I’m sure people have had similar awakening experiences, maybe somewhere else in Norris, maybe in Periodicals or maybe in their Plex dorm room. I don’t know. I feel like I’m heading out into the world maybe not a better person, but definitely much more self-aware. And as for the newsroom I’m leaving behind? I’m excited for its future. It’s in such capable hands with the current generation of staffers. They’re more clever, more insightful and definitely more #woke.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE GRADUATING SENIORS OF

David Fishman | For the love of Evanston Be a generalist.

What did you major in? I never truly felt able to answer that question. My course through college took so many twists and turns that even my closest friends can’t remember my major.

“David? Oh yeah he’s Medill.”

For once and for all: No, he’s not.

The courses that changed my life have nothing to do with journalism or politics or law.

They won’t necessarily get me into law school or raise eyebrows in a job interview. But they have fundamentally shaped my understanding of the world.

Professor Whitney Taylor’s Literature of Advertising awakened me to the ubiquity of advertising and how the “Great God Advertising” subtly influences our collective consciousness. To this day, I cannot look at an advertisement without thinking about Fritz Leiber’s “Girl” — a vampire whose insatiable desire drives victims to self sacrifice.

Professor Sara Broaders’s Psychology of Weird Beliefs sent me searching for ghosts in the basement of Swift Hall only to find some in the annals of my own mind.

Professor Tracy Vaughn-Manley moved me to tears through her passion for all things Toni Morrison. I will always remember the final words uttered by one of Morrison’s protagonists: “You your best thing, Sethe. You are.”

Be a generalist.

— I love Evanston.

I love Evanston for the group of Unicorn Cafe “symposiasts” [Link] whose early-morning kvetching — about every topic you can think of (and many you can’t) — quickly became a hallmark of my Northwestern career. And of course for Unicorn itself, where I spent countless hours over my four years chatting with the owner, Jessica, and plugging away at work.

I love Evanston for its impassioned residents

who gather weekly to petition a bleary-eyed City Council on everything from affordable housing to the Harley Clarke mansion. Residents who support their low-income neighbors in a Facebook group that provides jobs, baby diapers, exercise classes, and so much more. Residents whose activism at ETHS insured basic equity for transgender students.

I love Evanston for its eclectic hodgepodge of restaurants, bookstores, cafes, and parks. While I had the privilege of rounding up your “Best of Evanston,” I’d be remiss not to make a few revisions: Best Coffee: Unicorn Cafe Best Mushrooms: River Valley Ranch at Evanston Farmers Market Best Omelet: Cocina Azteca at Evanston Farmers Market Best Sushi: Sea Ranch Best Deli: Al’s Deli Best Healthy: Soulwich Best Thai: NaKorn Best American: Ten Mile House Best South Asian: Mt. Everest Restaurant Best Drunchies: Chicken Shack Best New Restaurant: 10Q Chicken Best Brunch: Ovo Frito Cafe Best Chinese: Shang Noodle & Chinese Best Mexican: Tomate Fresh Kitchen Best Venezuelan: La Cocinita Best Art Store: Artem Pop Up Gallery Best Knitting: CloseKnit Mind you, Evanston is not perfect. Like many other cities across America, gentrification threatens to displace long-time residents and restrict future access. Systemic racial bias pervades the police force. And schools have struggled to adequately support special education students.

But if any city can tackle these challenges, it’s Evanston.

So look out, Mayor Hagerty.

I love Evanston.

4 GRADUATION ISSUE | THE DAILY NORTHWESTERN

MONDAY, JUNE 17, 2019

Katie Pach | Change your mind My first year at Northwestern, I had no idea what I was doing. I had not found my True Northwestern, I had no Northwestern Direction and AND was certainly not in my DNA. I came in as a journalism major, determined to change the world through the power of story. But I had no idea of what that would actually look like for me.

It seemed like everyone else in my classes and in my dorm had it figured out. They had done the summer Cherubs program or they had somehow already formed tightly knit friend groups. I felt like I had just arrived on campus and already I was years behind.

I signed up for a dozen listservs, mostly for organizations I would never attend. I joined two

student orgs because they seemed obligatory as a queer journalism major: The Daily Northwestern and Rainbow Alliance. Although both went on to play key roles in my development here, initially I was a barely adequate member of both, doing the bare minimum to stay relevant. I got through my first year as anonymously as possible.

Sophomore year I came back, equally unsure of my place, staying on the Daily because I didn’t know what else to do. But my editors at the time, now two of my closest friends, convinced me to start taking sports photos. As much as I hated the idea back then, I begrudgingly started going to games. Any games, all the games. Name a sport, I’ve seen it at Northwestern. I became the person people turned to first for assignments, and I

formed a family of people who supported me in and out of the newsroom.

Junior year I stepped up as a design assistant when the Daily was in desperate need of new designers. I knew nothing, I had no experience and I was terrified. But as soon as I started laying out the paper, I was hooked. I began a passionate love affair with Adobe InDesign, and honestly she has been the most influential relationship of my Northwestern career. But it was junior winter, much too late to change majors, so I felt pretty stuck.

I thought I had to have everything figured out the moment I stepped on campus freshman year. I felt like chaging my mind or my path was risky or stupid. But really, I still don’t know what

Garrett Jochnau | College sports, college sports writing and moving on Here at The Daily, it’s tradition for former sports editors to ride off into the sunset with a final column — something of a reflection on Northwestern athletics and their time at the sports desk. It’s been a year and a half since my last byline, but with graduation looming, I guess it’s better late than never.

A lot has happened since I first stepped foot in the newsroom nearly four years ago.

The football team won its first Big Ten West title and now threatens to be a Top 25 mainstay.

The men’s basketball team ended a 78-year NCAA Tournament drought.

Arenas were demolished and rebuilt, and the lakeside now features a state-of-the-art athletic center that may singlehandedly usher Wildcats athletics into a new era.

Especially for the programs that receive national

attention, the Northwestern my class inherited is far different than the one we’re leaving behind.

But before I had the chance to join Dererk Pardon, Bryant McIntosh and the historic 201617 basketball team in Salt Lake City, or watch the Justin Jackson-led Cats in a Pinstripe Bowl barnburner, my first credential brought me to Big Ten basketball media day, where my first interview was with women’s basketball star Maggie Lyon.

We spoke about her hopes and goals as an outgoing senior, and how she planned to leave everything on the floor of the since-renovated Welsh Ryan Arena in her final season as a college athlete.

Earlier this week, I heard that Lyon was working for a sports agency, having quickly moved on from her playing career as many do. It’s one of the things that makes college sports so unique — that

Stavros Agorakis | The arts and sleepless nights Mere days before I bid my last goodbye to Northwestern and the third floor of Norris, I find myself reading the first editor’s note I wrote as a Daily staffer. Jane Recker and I, reappointed as The Monthly magazine’s commanders-in-chief after spearheading its very creation a few months before, were tasked with revitalizing a publication that blended news and entertainment, but that also needed to attract readers looking for a fresh perspective on the content our beloved paper of record regularly publishes.

So, armed with stacks of glossy publications

supplied by Jane’s magazine obsession, we spent an entire night leafing through countless pages to find inspiration. We produced storyboards that we instantly scrapped. We designed layouts that felt out of touch. We made fun of each other’s story ideas as we were flying by the seat of our pants. But at the break of dawn, we had it. And it’s that night which made all other sleepless nights count.

At The Monthly, we prided ourselves in being trendseekers and trendsetters. The reason we all began writing for arts and entertainment in

exactly I’m doing. My path has been changing for the past four years, and it will keep changng for many years to come.

My Northwestern experience did not turn out the way I thought it would, but the best parts came purely by accident. I fell into a community. I stumbled upon an unlikely passion. I made some of my best friends because I pushed myself to try new things or refused to accept it was too late to do something. Growing up requires change, including changing your mind. We’re graduating college, but we have so much life ahead of us.

So don’t be afraid to change your mind. Go for something that might scare you. Follow your own happiness. Keep yourself open to a new direction.

You never know where you’ll end up.

for most athletes, they’re not a means to an end, but rather a four-year window to live out a dream. That’s been clear to me since that first interview with Lyon and through my two years covering Northwestern’s athletes.

Eighteen months removed from my last byline, I now have a similar appreciation for my time at The Daily.

Every kid wants to be a professional athlete.

And like so many, when I realized that wasn’t in the cards, I dreamed of being a sportswriter — of seeing myself on ESPN in a different capacity.

I decided quickly into my Northwestern career that I wanted something else entirely for my future, but the allure of writing about sports never dissolved.

The Daily brought me to some incredible places and to the sidelines of some incredible moments. And

I’ll forever have my stories to remember them by.

I miss it, and I forever will. The 4 a.m. nights (mornings?) in the newsroom, the road trips to Madison and Bloomington — they’re central to my college experience.

But just like Lyon, I’ve moved on.

Northwestern gave me the chance to live out one dream, and I’ll be forever grateful.

I know there are many others for whom sports writing is but a quick stop on a larger journey.

Most pressures from the real world are absent from the world of college journalism.

It’s just you, your words, a heavy helping of emdashes and the beats you get to cover. And if you leave everything on the floor, you’ll never look back and regret moving on, but instead appreciate the moments that made it special.

the first place was because we preferred journalism that has a bit of personality. We craved pitches that challenged us, provoked us, made us smile, laugh, or even cry. And we never quit on it; we constantly revamped our web presence, introduced varied writing styles and genres, and sought to engage in national dialogue on all things theater, film, music, et art. Just a year later, we became the most-awarded arts supplement in Illinois, and though now Jane and I have relinquished The Monthly’s reins to younger, as ambitious editors, we’ll always remember those first,

scrappy issues with fondness.

When I first joined The Daily, it was widely discussed that I’d be one of the first staffers to leave. And there were many times I almost did, whether after getting rejected from editor positions, or from the sheer commitment The Daily regularly commanded on me—and on all of us. But looking back, I wish I had the chance to spend one last night in the newsroom, surrounded by my colleagues and closest friends, smiling, laughing (or even crying), waiting for dawn to break.

Asian-American studies major created after faculty passes proposal

Presented by three core faculty members from the Asian American Studies Program, Professors Ji-Yeon Yuh, Nitasha Sharma and Shalini Shankar, the proposal came in light of recent student demand for the major as well as 20 years of campus activism pushing for its addition.

The proposal for the Asian-American studies major was voted on and passed with an overwhelming majority in the span of five minutes, Sharma said.

“After we voted it in, I started to clap and the room followed,” Sharma said. “But then when the legal studies major was passed right after, people clapped again. People didn’t understand that I was thinking of the hunger strike, I was thinking of student activism — I was thinking that this is momentous.”

Lawrence Crosby, a PhD candidate in 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.

Earlier this year, Crosby settled his lawsuit against the city for $1.25 million. He said at a press conference in January that he still deals with PTSD from the experience and that he hopes his experience leads to change.

The laptop is given to them for a quarter, then returned to NUIT over break to wipe them and check for viruses. Students can then “re-check out” the laptop the following quarter if needed, she said.

Laptops are the most in-demand item for low-income and first-generation students, followed closely by general academic supplies and textbooks, Cockrell 3-6 said. The office also offers newPages winter gear to these students.

“If we’re not able to provide basic needs to all students from the beginning, how can we expect to create a truly inclusive environment?” she said.

SES is the product of organizing by students from Quest Scholars Network in response to student need. The office was created in October 2014 after Quest Scholars shared their experiences and struggles as low-income or first-generation students with administrators. SES regularly meets with Quest Scholars to discuss student needs and how students can become more involved with the administration, Cockrell said.

A donation of 13 laptops from the Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications is the latest in a series of efforts by Student Enrichment Services to provide resources to students on campus.

Dorina Rasmussen, director of student life at Medill, said she serves on a faculty advisory board for SES and learned that students often come to the office when their equipment has failed and they can’t immediately afford to replace it.

The donated computers will be loaned out to low-income and first-generation students.

“Especially knowing that a lot of our students utilize their laptops and software, we know what it’s like to have that need,” she said. “We want to make sure that students don’t lack the access to technology needed to be successful here.”

The laptop loan program started last year in response to student need, SES director Kourtney Cockrell said. SES and NU Information Technology began with five laptops. About 10 more were donated by the School of Education and Social Policy and a subsequent handful were given by Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, she said.

“As I was interacting with students … laptop access was a big issue,” she said.

Members of MEChA de Northwestern, Black Lives Matter NU, the Immigrant Justice Project, the Asian Pacific American Coalition, NU Queer Trans Intersex People of Color and Rainbow Alliance gathered outside Harris Hall as the unidentified ICE representative began a guest presentation for Sociology 201. The class, taught by Prof. Beth Redbird, focuses on examining “inequality in American society with an emphasis on race, class and gender,” according to its syllabus.

Protesting students were told by University administrators at the scene, including dean of students Todd Adams, that they would be allowed into Redbird’s class if they did not disrupt the presentation.

Students then walked into the classroom but did not sit down, instead holding up banners and asking Redbird why she invited the ICE representative.

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.

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.”

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

nationwide movement against recent immigration actions by President Donald Trump, which temporarily barred citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States.

The event, organized by Academics United and co-sponsored by 21 student organizations, was held in response to an executive order that barred citizens of Yemen, Sudan, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Libya and Somalia from entering the country for 90 days.

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

Serving the University and Evanston since 1881

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.

Unshackle NU introduced legislation Wednesday at Associated Student Government Senate to pressure the University to divest from companies the group says promote the prison-industrial complex and to create a socially responsible investment committee.

The proposal comes one year after a Northwestern Divest resolution narrowly passed Senate, calling for the university to cease investment in companies the group said violate Palestinian human rights.

Unshackle NU members presented the resolution after a protest at The Rock on Tuesday. Currently, NU has less than $1 million invested in G4S, the largest security corporation in the world, and also likely has indirect investments in Caterpillar, William McLean, NU’s chief investment officer, told The Daily. The resolution names other corporations Unshackle NU believes the University

The second part of the major proposal requires a vote at the next faculty meeting, which took place Wednesday afternoon, at which time the major was officially added to the list of Weinberg majors. The proposal included the official contents of the major, providing the general overview of the major’s necessity, as well as the specific courses that students will take and the list of requirements they will have to meet.

All day, many students snapped voting selfies and stood in virtual solidarity as Hillary Clinton was poised to become the first woman president of the United States. Donald Trump yard signs — which sprouted on lawns and roadsides throughout the country — seemed just about nonexistent near Northwestern’s campus. As the polling results began to stream in, many residents in Evanston were confident that Clinton would win.

It wasn’t until about 9 p.m. that reality began to sink in. It was a reality almost nobody saw coming: Trump was going to become the next president.

By 2 a.m., it was clear. He is the president-elect.

“We were watching the percentage likelihood of Donald Trump winning climb, and it came off as a joke. I still think it’s a joke,” said Tristan Litre, a then-Weinberg junior.

Evanston/Skokie School District 65 passed a proposed referendum by a wide margin Tuesday that will increase local property taxes to combat rising educational costs.

The referendum passed with more than 80 percent of support from 19,118 voters who weighed in on the issue.

It will raise property taxes by about $450 dollars annually for the average Evanston property owner, according to a District 65 financial presentation.

District 65 Superintendent Paul Goren called it a “humbling” day for the district.

He said the new referendum money will allow the district to continue work on multiple fronts, including improving student achievements, technology investments and keeping class sizes small.

Goren said referendums fail 70 percent of the time, on average, so the district couldn’t presume a successful

outcome. He pointed to the amount of support the referendum received as evidence of residents’ commitment to public schools.

“The overwhelming support and the deep commitment of voters of both Evanston and Skokie to their

public schools is something that we couldn’t be more appreciative of,” Goren said.

“It will make us want to wake up in the morning early and go to work and continue to make the differences that we’re doing.”

Students released a list of 47 demands on the 50th anniversary of the Bursar’s Office Takeover urging the University to improve campus culture for black students, departmentalize the Asian American Studies and Latina and Latino Studies programs, and provide a smooth transition for food service workers.

In 1968, over 100 students occupied the Bursar’s office — where Northwestern’s finances were handled — to demand administrators take action on a list of demands to improve black students’ experiences at Northwestern. Many of those demands went unaddressed over the years and were again pushed to the forefront by current student activists.

Northwestern alumnus Gregg Mettler (Communication ’94) visited campus Tuesday to talk about his career in comedy television and gave advice on how students can achieve similar success.

Mettler, who is is best known for his writing on “3rd Rock From the Sun,” “That ’70s Show” and “Cougar Town,” talked to about 15 people at Norris University Center. While discussing his career, he recalled how he made his way up to a full-time writer from a night production assistant.

The event was organized by the Office of External Programs, Internships and Career Services.

EPICS assistant director Todd Lillethun said the purpose of the talk was to give students advice from an industry member.

“Gregg has done a lot of work since he graduated in 1994 and has had a lot of experience both

in mainstream comedies and dramas and lots of studio experiences, so it was really great timing for him to come now when we have a lot of the same interests in our current student body,” Lillethun said.

Mettler said his time in NU’s Creative Writing for the Media program piqued his interest in working as a television writer, Mettler said.

“That’s when I sort of became interested in TV writing, when somebody like me came to talk; so I always wanted to do this because it had a really serious impact on me,” Mettler said.

“That was pretty much the day of my life where I said, ‘I think I can do that — the thing that that guy’s doing.’”

After graduating from NU in 1994, Mettler moved to Los Angeles by himself in pursuit of a career in the television industry.

Mettler said he depended on fellow NU graduates after moving and worked as a night production assistant on “3rd Rock From » See METTLER, page 6

Kathryn Ogletree (Weinberg ’71, Graduate School ’76) was just a freshman when she helped mobilize and lead a 38-hour sit-in that

would change the course of the University’s relationship with black students.

It was May 3, 1968.

Black students at Northwestern had organized the night before to finalize plans to take over an undisclosed campus building. The protest had been in the works for a while,

Ogletree said, and everyone had a designated role: The then-president of For Members Only helped guide students into the Bursar’s Office at 619 Clark St., while some led diversions at the Rebecca Crown Center. Others simply showed up in solidarity.

“It was agreed that this is what we were

going to do, and then everyone who was in support showed up (at) seven o’clock in the morning the next day and we were fed into the Bursar’s Office, and that’s the history,” Ogletree said. » See IN FOCUS, page 4

NU research fellow D65 proposes dress code changes runs for state Rep. Decision follows ETHS revisions enacted earlier this school year Daniel Trujillo running as Green Party candidate

By CATHERINE HENDERSON

the daily northwestern @caity_henderson

Daniel Trujillo, a research fellow at Northwestern, said he was “frustrated” watching state politics from the sidelines and decided he had to get involved.

He is now running as the Green Party candidate for Illinois’ 18th District representative seat against incumbent state Rep. Robyn Gabel (D-Evanston).

Trujillo announced his candidacy at the beginning of 2018 and has since been campaigning to collect signatures to appear on the ballot in November, his campaign press secretary Molly Laatsch said. Although Trujillo has the Green Party’s endorsement, he said he identifies as an independent and votes across party lines.

“I myself am just a regular, working-class father,” Trujillo said. “I have six children. …

We’re involved in the everyday

lives of raising children and being a part of our community.”

Trujillo said he is facing a plethora of challenges trying to get on the ballot. Ballot access procedures are particularly “regressive” in Illinois, he said.

As a third party candidate, he said he must receive signatures from 5 percent of the voting population from the last election — about 5,000 signatures — while Democratic and Republican candidates only need 500 signatures. Candidates file signatures between June 18 and 25, giving Trujillo some time to get on the ballot.

He said there is a good chance his signatures will be challenged, so his campaign must be especially thorough.

Laatsch said she is working to make her candidate visible in the community. She said the campaign has gathered a couple hundred signatures by canvassing neighborhoods and attending community events geared toward Trujillo’s mission of empowering working-class voters. She said Trujillo will be at the Evanston Farmers’ Market this weekend to meet with constituents. » See TRUJILLO, page 3

The Evanston/Skokie School District 65 Board Policy Committee decided at a Monday meeting to propose changes to the district’s dress code policy and follow in the footsteps of Evanston Township High School.

In the beginning of the school year, ETHS implemented a policy highlighting marginalized communities and favoring dialogue surrounding dress code. Soon after, a group of ETHS students — who had worked to enact the changes — attended a Board Policy Committee meeting along with District 65 students and parents to advocate for a similar review of the District 65 dress code, board president Suni Kartha told The Daily.

“It was a combination of District 65 students as well as high school students who had been through District 65 saying this is not just an issue for the high school,” Kartha said. “That was really the impetus for us to look at (the ETHS) policy and look at our policy and see what we needed to do.”

edited policy. He also said the administration was asked to review policies of nearby school districts.

At Monday’s meeting, the administration presented a memo to the committee. The memo recommended that the

At a Faculty Senate meeting in Winter of 2018, Provost Jonathan Holloway announced the University was in a budget deficit. Officials told students and faculty in the following weeks and months that there would be no staff reductions or impact on student life as a result of the budget shortfall. However, in the summer of 2018, 80 staff members were laid off. And during fall quarter, many student groups found their budgets cut. University officials have said the deficit will be resolved by the next academic year.

In a closely watched midterm election, Democrats gained control of the House of Representatives, effectively ending one-party rule in Washington — although the GOP increased its advantage in the Senate.

Democrats earned sweeping victories across the map, easily picking up the 23 seats they needed to regain control. With a number of races too close to call, Democrats could win up to 35 seats and open a significant margin in the chamber, setting up a two-year period that will likely feature multiple clashes between President Donald Trump and the House.

Progressive candidates won House seats in a number of districts that voted for Trump in 2016. Abigail Spanberger defeated incumbent U.S. Rep Dave Brat in the historically conservative Virginia 7th district and Lauren Underwood earned a win in Illinois’ 14th district.

On both sides of the aisle, the 2018 midterms elections were an opportunity to grab control of government. But while both parties — and some liberal Northwestern students — hoped for better, the nation will enter into yet another era of a divided Congress.

On campus, enthusiasm for politics and the impending midterm elections seemed infectious.

Though some students chose not to vote or didn’t register in time, groups like NU Votes were incredibly vocal about the importance of this midterm election.

This year’s midterm election was especially tense, as it was the first major election since President Donald Trump has been in office. Some NU voters viewed their vote for U.S. representatives,

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.”

“On this night, we made history.”

Lauren Underwood, elected Tuesday as the first black woman to represent Illinois’ 14th District, began her acceptance speech by harkening back to Shirley Chisholm’s historic 1968 victory that helped pave her path 50 years later.

After defeating six white men to win the Democratic primary, Underwood ran as a challenger to a longtime Republican incumbent in majority-white district — and she landed a

monumental win.

In an election season where 216 candidates identified as black, Latinx, Asian, Native American or multiracial, Underwood was one of countless women of color to defy the odds and win office.

Also in Illinois, Juliana Stratton became the first black woman ever elected Lieutenant Governor in the state.

And the barrier smashing continued in Congress.

Crosby was arrested on Oct. 10, 2015, after a woman called 911 suspecting him of stealing a car that turned out to be his own. Evanston Police Department officers charged Crosby, who earned his PhD from McCormick last June, with disobedience to police. In 2017, former 9th Ward Ald. Brian Miller called for the release of the video of Crosby’s arrest. After the original charges against Crosby were dropped, he filed a lawsuit against the city and the four officers who stopped him, which was settled earlier this month for $1.25 million.

Lori Lightfoot defeated Toni Preckwinkle to become the next mayor of Chicago in a landslide victory on April 2.

With over 90 percent of the precincts reporting, Lightfoot received 73.70 percent of the vote to become Chicago’s first black female mayor. Lightfoot, who will also be Chicago’s first openly-gay mayor, mounted the stage of the Hilton Grand Ballroom to announce her victory.

“With this mandate for change, now we are going to take the next steps together,” Lightfoot said. “Together we will make Chicago a place where your zip code doesn’t determine your destiny.”

Lightfoot, with 341,661 ballots casted in her favor, defeated Preckwinkle who received 121,906 votes, 26.30 percent of the total.

candidates have struggled to differentiate themselves, and according to a Jan. 25 poll by the Chicago Sun-Times, one in four voters are still undecided.

At the forum, candidates answered questions about addressing inequalities in Chicago Public Schools, police contract reform and ensuring equal access to the ballot box.

In response to questions about reforming police contracts, Lori Lightfoot emphasized her progressive credentials and past work as the chair of the Chicago Police Accountability Task Force, created after the shooting death of Laquan McDonald by a Chicago Police Department officer.

Only one candidate — John Kozlar, a 34-year-old resident of the South Side — said he wanted harsher policing.

residents and council members blamed the city for the “reputational harm” the city’s response to the lawsuit caused.

Seven mayoral candidates discussed civil rights at a forum at the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law’s Rubloff-Thorne Auditorium Tuesday night.

About 450 students and residents attended the forum hosted by the Chicago Lawyers’ Committee on Civil Rights. Candidates Amara Enyia, Bob Fioretti, John Kozlar, Garry McCarthy, Lori Lightfoot, Paul Vallas and Willie Wilson spoke to voters about their visions for Chicago ahead of the upcoming election on Feb. 26.

CLCCR senior staff attorney and organizer Barbara BarrenoPaschall said she hoped the forum encouraged young voters to engage with the mayoral election and civil rights.

June 3, 2019 - Patricia Telles-Irvin, vice president for student affairs, dies at 63

Patricia Telles-Irvin, Northwestern’s vice president for student affairs, passed away early June 3 after “a long and valiant battle” with cancer, University President Morton Schapiro said in an email.

She was 63.

The El Paso, Texas native came to Northwestern in 2011 after serving in a similar role at the University of Florida. An alumna of Duke University and Boston University, Telles-Irvin was a first-generation college student in her family. She leaves behind a husband and a son.

“Patricia was a beautiful person,” Schapiro said in the email. “From the day she arrived at Northwestern, she was deeply committed to improving the lives of all of our students, especially those who came from underrepresented communities. She worked tirelessly to create a Northwestern in which every single student, regardless of background, felt at home. This is not easy work as the world became increasingly stratified and uncivil.”

Wildcats Football sees remarkable 10 win season

It wasn’t always pretty, but Northwestern’s 10-win season in 2015 was nothing short of remarkable.

Led by one of the better defenses in the country, the Wildcats stunned Stanford in the season opener, routed Eastern Illinois in the first home football game for the Class of 2019 and continued their dominance throughout most of Big Ten play. A final-seconds field goal to beat Penn State, a controversial win in the snow at Wisconsin and a victory over Illinois at Soldier Field stand out as especially memorable games.

Undersized, understated Northwestern swimmer Jordan Wilimovsky won a surprise world championship in open water swimming in 2015, punching his ticket to the Olympic

Games in Rio de Janeiro the next year. He later qualified in the 1,500 meters as well .

“I’m just excited to go down to the Olympics and take in the Olympic experience,” he said before the games. And he performed well, too: fourth in the 1,500 and fifth in the 10 kilometers open water.

Nathan Taphorn tossed a picture-perfect full-court inbound pass with 1.7 seconds remaining to Dererk Pardon, who laid in a bucket as time expired to give the Wildcats an unforgettable 67-65 win over Michigan — and essentially clinch their first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance.

Students stormed the court of the old Welsh-Ryan Arena, mobbing Taphorn, Pardon, Bryant McIntosh, coach Chris Collins and the rest of the team in a celebration 78 years in the making.

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.

In the spring of 2017, Northwestern locked up the trailblazing coaches behind its most successful revenue sport era in school history with long-term contracts.

Football coach Pat Fitzgerald and men’s basketball coach Chris Collins signed nine- and eight-year contracts, respectively, to remain two of the most recognizable faces of NU sports long-term.

CONGRATULATIONS, CLASS OF 2019!

NU wins Big Ten West

Despite losing all three non-conference games in 2018, Northwestern won a remarkable eight of nine Big Ten contests to secure a berth in the conference championship game 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.

Women’s Basketball moves on to WNIT Final

After several trying years marked by tragedy and disappointment, veteran NU coach Joe McKeown steered his 2019 group to postseason win after postseason win, culminating in a championship 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.”

Women’s golf heads to national championships

Northwestern women’s golf fell just short of the 2017 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.

Olivia Rosendahl wins national titles

Rosendahl won consecutive NCAA championships in 10-meter platform diving in 2017 and 2018, 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 10-meter platform on which to train.

NU Lacrosse sees first Final Four since 2014

Daily file photo by Noah Frick-Alofs

For the first time since 2014 — one year after the program’s run of seven consecutive national titles ended — Northwestern lacrosse advanced to the Final Four in 2019.

Selena Lasota, named the Big Ten Attacker of the Year, led the Wildcats to a 16-5 record, including long-awaited wins over Maryland in the Big Ten championship game and Syracuse in the Elite Eight.

Dedicated leader, Patricia Telles-Irvin, dies at 63

By GABBY BIRENBAUM

daily senior staffer @birenbomb

Patricia Telles-Irvin, Northwestern’s vice president for student affairs, passed away early Monday morning after “a long and valiant battle” with cancer, University President Morton Schapiro said in an email. She was 63.

The El Paso, Texas native came to Northwestern in 2011 after serving in a similar role at the University of Florida. An alumna of Duke University and Boston University, Telles-Irvin was a first-generation college student in her family. She leaves behind a husband and a son.

“Patricia was a beautiful person,” Schapiro said in the email. “From the day she arrived at Northwestern, she was deeply committed to improving the lives of all of our students, especially those who came from underrepresented communities. She worked tirelessly to create a Northwestern in which every single student, regardless of background, felt at home. This is not easy work as the world became increasingly stratified and uncivil.

“When I think of Northwestern values — humility, empathy and humanity — I picture Patricia,” Schapiro continued. “She gave us her heart, and we will always be in her debt. She never wavered in finding the best in all of us.”

Schapiro had previously emailed the Northwestern community to inform students that Telles-Irvin had been granted a leave of absence beginning last Saturday.

Dean of Students Todd Adams highlighted some of Telles-Irvin’s accomplishments in an email to students, noting her “instrumental” role in establishing the department of Campus Inclusion and Community, the umbrella organization under which Student Enrichment Services and the department of Social Justice Education were launched. Continuing her work in “student-focused initiatives,” Adams said Telles-Irvin championed the creation of the Housing Master Plan and the expansion of the Summer Internship Grant Program.

“Patricia’s grace was, and continues to be, an inspiration to all of us who love working with students,” Adams wrote in the email.

“Her influence stretched far and wide. And her legacy is demonstrated in the thousands of student lives she impacted, as well as the staff she mentored and the faculty she touched.”

Associated Student Government president Izzy Dobbel, who attended a Monday afternoon gathering for students and staff in the Source in Norris University Center, said Telles-Irvin was as a “true and constant partner” for the student body and served as a guide and mentor to ASG. Julia Shenkman, who previously served as ASG’s chief of staff and the Multicultural

Greek Council’s university liaison, agreed Telles-Irvin was a strong advocate. The Weinberg senior recalled Telles-Irvin reaching out to her to set up a meeting to talk about MGC’s struggles with feeling disenfranchised on campus, and called her one of their “best allies” who took the time to listen.

As a fellow El Pasoan, Shenkman said Telles-Irvin represented the character of their shared hometown.

“We stand with our own, we’re there for each other — that’s something our city is known for,” Shenkman said. “It was really great having that here on campus and it’s gonna be greatly missed.”

Leo Scheck, a Communication junior, said

Telles-Irvin was a “vocal supporter” of student-workers like himself, and that she could be counted on to be a “strong and forceful” presence in any room.

Scheck said that in remembering TellesIrvin, he was maintaining a focus on her accomplishments in improving student life at Northwestern, and the work she did on campus.

“She’s done a lot that maybe goes unnoticed or unattributed to her specifically,” Scheck said. “I just think this campus wouldn’t be the same without the mark that she’s made on it for the past eight or so years.”

Former co-workers and Northwestern alumni took to Twitter to express their appreciation for Telles-Irvin’s work. Angela Batista, the Board chair-elect of the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators, where Telles-Irvin once served as president, called the administrator a “trailblazer” for Latinx leaders in higher education. Sports journalist Christine Brennan (Medill ’80, ’81) said Telles-Irvin’s death made Monday a “sad day for all Wildcats”, and recalled having fun sitting next to her at the 2018 Big Ten Championship..

Former ASG president Ani Ajith (Weinberg ’14) tweeted that Telles-Irvin was a tireless worker whom he was proud to have known.

“She worked with deliberate, strategic patience to achieve more than many were willing to give her credit for,” Ajith tweeted. “She did so selflessly.”

Dobbel said the fact that Telles-Irvin continued to work until “almost the end” demonstrates how dedicated she was to her job.

In the years to come, Dobbel said TellesIrvin’s legacy will continue.

“PTI is, and will always be, a big part of this campus,” Dobbel said.

A public Celebration of Life will be held in Telles-Irvin’s honor, Schapiro’s email said.
