MOVING ON SERIES Parts 1 & 2 of 4

STEPPING BACK Editor’s Note: Several key Syracuse University officials are leaving their positions at the end of the academic year. Take a look at their stories in this four-part series.

Steinberg, Maxwell faculty reflect on his tenure as school’s dean

By Michael Burke asst. news editor

W

hen James Steinberg steps down as dean of the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, he said he hopes he will leave behind a legacy currently encapsulated on the wall outside of Maxwell Auditorium.

On that wall reads an excerpt from the AtheSTEINBERG nian Oath that concludes with this: “We will transmit this city not only, not less, but

greater and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”

“It’s the idea of leaving the city more beautiful than you found it and the idea of making a difference to others,” said Steinberg, who, before coming to Maxwell, served as the deputy secretary of state under former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Steinberg has served as the dean of Maxwell since 2011, but his tenure will come to a close at the end of this semester, at which point he’ll remain at Maxwell as a University Professor.

In making the case that he’s improved the school, he points to accomplishments such as hiring a number of see steinberg page 6

Clarke, the current dean of the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse University, will soon return to her passion, as she will be stepping CLARKE down at the end of the 2015-16 academic year in order to take a year to do research and return

to her studio practice. She fully intends to return to SU following the research year, when she will have a faculty seat in the School of Art. Clarke will spend much of her year away retraining in Photoshop, textile design and software, as she said many things have changed since she last taught eight years ago.

She is also excited to get back to her studio practice and figure out what her art means to her. As a fiber artist, Clarke creates one-of-a-kind wearable pieces including coats and hats, according to her website.

Senior works against greek stereotypes

By Gabrielle Hughes staff writer

Sadie Treleven always wanted a home away from home that would inspire her to continuously be a better leader.

As the third generation of greek women in her family, Treleven grew up with a positive image of sorority life and became a part of Delta Gamma her freshman year.

From the beginning, Treleven, a senior neuroscience and psychology dual major with a pre-medicine emphasis, proudly showed off her letters and became a leader within the greek community. After holding leadership positions in Delta Gamma, Treleven branched out as the vice president of the Panhellenic Council.

This position helped Treleven realize the divide between different greek houses. Contrary to the portrait of kinship her mother and grandmother described, negative stereotypes often skew people’s interpretations of a greek member, Treleven said.

Founded in January 2015 by Treleven’s Alpha class, the Greek Leadership Association (GLA) is a non-governing group of greek leaders who represent the six greek councils.

The organization aims to serve as an

approachable resource for students and works to initiate conversation about stereotypes and bring the community together.

“Our whole goal is to build toward unification through education in our greek community,” Treleven said.

“We’re ready and willing to step out of our comfort zones to initiate discussion about the stigmas we place on each other.”

The GLA frequently holds events and encourages everyone to take part — greek and non-greek students alike. They recently hosted an event examining the stereotypes students have of certain houses by covering an entire white board in those stereotypes. Actual greek members then took these stereotypes and showed how they do not fit the mold.

“It’s a start. It’s not something that will happen overnight,” Treleven said.

“People need to be willing to learn about each other.”

Treleven said her experiences in greek life have pushed her boundaries and challenged her to be a role model to her younger peers. She is proud to wear her letters, representing the years of philanthropy and strong connections she has formed with reliable, empowering people.

“It isn’t just a four-year thing.

It isn’t about the partying. It goes so far beyond that,” Treleven said. “If you take advantage of

the opportunities that greek life gives you, you will find your way as an individual.” ghhughes@syr.edu

Community remembers late SU student

By Taylor Watson staff writer

Hongming “Jason” Cao will be remembered for his smile, humor and wisdom.

A memorial service was held Thursday at Hendricks Chapel in celebration of the life of Cao, a CAO junior in the College of Arts and Sciences at Syracuse University. Cao died on April 19 — two days before his 22nd birthday — in his home in Shenzhen, China, after being

diagnosed with a brain tumor.

ceremony, they piled white and yellow flowers on an alter beside cards, a candle and a photo of Cao. The service was filmed to be sent to Cao’s parents in China and was translated between English and Chinese by Chung-Chin Liu, an assistant economics professor at SU. Kandice Salomone, associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, spoke about how the loss of Cao affects the SU community.

“He was a cherished member of our extended family,” Salomone said. “He is Orange now and will be Orange forever. This is something we all share with Hongming.”

Liu, Cao’s adviser during his freshman and sophomore years and

his economics professor, mentioned Cao’s fashion sense and referred to him as a “warrior in life.”

“He was determined not to let his illness hamper his educational pursuit,” Liu said. “His sincere commitment to life deserves our respect and admiration.”

Liu said this experience has left him with a more profound appreciation for his family and friends, and made him realize the importance of a meaningful, purpose-driven life. He told Cao’s parents that their son made him proud and thanked God for allowing the SU community to know him as a student and as a friend. see cao page 10

Students celebrate annual concert at Walnut

By Satoshi Sugiyama and Stacy Fernandez the daily orange

James Togo first went to Mayfest when he was a sophomore in high school. His sister, who was studying at Syracuse University at the time, took him to Walnut Park three years ago and he had a great time.

“That’s why I chose to come to

Syracuse and that’s why Syracuse is the No. 1 party school in the country,” Togo said.

Despite heavy rain and temperatures in the low 50s, hundreds of students showed up at this year’s Mayfest in Walnut Park on Friday afternoon.

Dozens of students flooded into the park as gates opened up at 1 p.m., and hundreds kept pouring

in as time went by.

Music blasted and about 100 people gathered around the stage, but a large crowd of attendees congregated around the food booths to get free food such as corn dogs, hamburgers and chicken kebabs. The line for the food consisted of about 150 people for longer than an hour and a half.

This year’s Mayfest was the

second one James Schiera participated in. Schiera, a senior civil engineering major who is on SU’s rowing team, said the team is usually in a tournament around this time of the year but wasn’t competing that weekend.

“Honestly, I am just here for the food,” he said, adding that he had eaten a corn dog and popcorn and see walnut

5 takeaways from an interview with EA Sports’ Peter Moore

P

eter Moore, the former executive vice president and current chief competition officer of Electronic Arts Inc., recently visited Syracuse University and discussed his role is leading the company’s new esports presence with the EA Competitive Gaming Division.

Here are five things I learned from my interview with Moore about the current and future state of the gaming industry.

Xbox One and PlayStation 4 may be the last generation of consoles

Similar to how it’s changed television and video media in general, streaming is likely going change the way people play games. Moore envisions a future in which there will be no game console. It seems that the only physical thing gamers will own is a monitor of some sort, a flash drive-like device and a controller.

“I’m not sure there will be consoles, as we know them anymore,” Moore said.

“Games will be accessed by streaming technology, so we don’t need hardware intermediaries in between the two. If you and I want to play ‘Battlefield 12’ against each other, we’ll just jump into a game via whatever monitor we happen to have in our homes.

It’ll be on a chip, rather than in a box.”

He added that the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are well set up to advance as technology does, so we may never see another console produced by Microsoft or Sony ever again.

Mobile gaming is already huge and it’s going to get bigger

If you hate all those commercials for app store games, you’re probably going to be disappointed. There are likely to be more of those in the future because mobile gaming isn’t going anywhere. In fact, it’s going to expand.

Moore talked at length about how

PAUL SARCONI

STUFF THAT WOULD BLOW CAVEMEN’S MINDS Apple’s App store and Google Play are now a huge part of the gaming industry because the games that come out on Xbox or PlayStation also come out on these distribution platforms. While they are usually limited in terms of how long the user can play it or the types of perks they can unlock, the free-toplay business model is key to expansion.

For those hoping the Gameboy Color makes a comeback, Moore’s take on how this dynamic has also killed a core foundation of mobile gaming isn’t great news.

“One of the casualties of that is handheld gaming,” Moore said. “The smartphone free-to-play business model has destroyed it.

A dedicated handheld device just feels like a vessel to remain in a past year nowadays.”

Esports are starting to resemble real sports

Moore discussed how when he was growing up in Liverpool, England, he wanted to play for the Liverpool Football club. He said he knew he would never be able to, but that didn’t stop him from buying the team’s gear.

Moore said he sees a similar trend with esports right now.

letter to the editor

Sports and shooting games hold the most potential for spectatorship

FIFA, Madden NFL and Battlefield were singled out as the three games in which EA will try to improve the viewing experience the most. The nature of sports games — the back and forth between players, the score and the timed competition — make it one of the most watchable games out there. Yet Moore said that EA is still working on building engaging game modes and online competitions.

First-person shooter games, on the other hand, have unique qualities that take hold of the viewer’s attention.

“There is action (and) there is strategy,” Moore said. “You see the kill. You can see how it all mounts up to the kill. (It’s) the same way we watch war movies in that there is drama, there is intrigue (and) suspense.

There’s (also) shooting.”

Augmented and virtual reality will be a major part of gaming, eventually

While the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive already have games available to play, it’s going to be awhile before it becomes a serious part of the gaming industry. It’s still uncomfortable to use virtual reality technology for long periods of time, but these devices keep the

SU student discusses lack of unity, support in greek life Syracuse University is an institution with a diverse body of students, and statistically this is relatively true, but when you look around it is easy to see it is a “diverselydivided” intuition. What I mean by this is, is that while we have numerous races and ethnicities represented on Syracuse campus, many of us remain within social circles where the majority of the people are the same race as us; this is most easily seen in the Greek System.

SU has six councils with more than 50 organizations divided between the six, however the five social Greek Councils are the ones I am most referencing. While history has created these five councils under the ugly segregation laws of the past, it does not mean that we must socialize and support only those within our council. With the conclusion of Greek Week, I would like to reflect on the lack of unity seen in the Greek community and even more outright the almost inexistent support across councils at philanthropy and social events.

In order to mitigate the lack of unity and support, I am purposing that everyone in the Greek Community work together to increase support at philanthropy/ social events across councils, partner with an organization in another council to hold events together, and increase participation in events involving the whole Greek Community. The first part I am

full-time job,” Moore said. “They are working strategically as a team. That puts it out of the boundaries, the same way that, as a kid I wanted to play for Liverpool. No I wasn’t (going to, but) it got me really engaged in the game of football. It’s the same way with egaming.”

While 99 percent of gamers don’t have the determination, focus, hand-eye coordination or skill to become to a professional gamer, they are still going to continue to buy games and in some cases, train. As a result, it will improve the popularity of esports.

purposing- increasing support at philanthropy/social events across councils- is the simplest yet most critical aspect of mitigating these issues. By increasing support at these events members will have an increased opportunity to meet new people and network while also creating an environment that is more inclusive to those within the Greek Community. The second aspect I am purposing, is to have organizations partner with an organization outside of their home council with which they could hold social, scholarly and philanthropic events with. With increased relations between organizations in different councils, members will have an opportunity to make connections with new people, find commonalities amongst them, and build new friendships. In an atmosphere where there is a mutual interest in new friendships people are more apt to go outside of their comfort zone to get to know people. Finally, the university has created opportunities for the Greek Community to come together in unity, regardless of letters, gender or council, so why are we not taking full advantage of these opportunities?

user tethered and restricted.

Moore said the biggest development in augmented and virtual reality is going to be the integration of social tools because users need to be able to virtually play games against friends for the industry to take off.

“The challenge right now with VR and AR is that they are very solitary. I don’t want to say they are antisocial, but they aren’t social,” Moore said. What you do by putting on a helmet or goggles is (that) you isolate yourself from the world ... They are trying to stop you from throwing up (and) trying to get the right experiences.

Local police, schools should collaborate Program could enhance existing health services

P

olice officers often represent the thin blue line between right and wrong and New York City has created an effective new program to help youth living in high-crime areas walk that thin line.

Set to roll out later this month, the city’s Department of Education Team Up! initiative will help foster much-needed bonds between children and local law enforcement when public-police relations couldn’t be much worse.

Instead of resenting or rebelling against authority, kids should look to officers as role models as soon as they enter elementary school and this program is the perfect way to start it off right.

The project will span across 350 New York City elementary schools and involve 72 police precincts to teach kids about the various duties of a police officer as well as give children the tools to become a leader in their community. The rationale is to cultivate friendships between law enforcement and children through activities such as arts and crafts and reading.

We feel that the

more the community

understands the

police function

that we are serving,

the better the

relationships will be.

Sgt. Richard Helterline

public information officer for the

syracuse police department

Because Team Up! will reportedly not come with any extra expense to the city, a similar plan should be expanded across New York state, especially in cities like Syracuse where gang activity is prevalent and crime rates are high. By showing the police in a positive light when children are most impressionable, Syracuse schools could help break down the lack of understanding surrounding officers and humanize

The ranking of Syracuse in New York state city rankings of violent crime, according to a 2013 FBI report

Syracuse ranks eighth out of all cities in New York when it comes to violent crime, according to a 2013 FBI report. That high of a rate leaves a bad impression on the city without taking into account the existing strained relationships between neighborhoods and the police officers attempting to serve them. The Syracuse Police Department is currently trying to bridge the gap between the two to try and change the negative perceptions the public may have.

Syracuse police have a similar program to D.A.R.E., SPD public information officer Sgt. Richard Helterline said in an email, adding that SPD also has a community policing unit, “where the officers assigned there handle the day-today community complaints.”

“We feel that the more the community understands the police function that we are serving, the better the relationships will be,” Helterline said.

was at a 25-year low as of 2015, according to Syracuse.com. There’s still plenty of room for improvement.

Any form of additional, positive outreach from Syracuse’s law enforcement has the potential to reduce gang-related and other senseless acts of violence, especially if it can occur in a relaxed setting. Kids will be more resistant to gang influence if they are taught to obey the law, lead through example and understand how police officers have the community’s best interests in mind — all goals that can be accomplished with initiatives like Team Up!.

For once, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has done right by police with supporting this program and not turning his back on the department. There have been too many national police killings that have fractured African-American communities and New York is no stranger to that controversy.

Personally, the benefits of an open dialogue between officers and their residential areas of work were apparent when I attended my local elementary school in New Jersey. As a young kid, having officers visit classrooms to speak with students about important issues, such as drugs, made me believe in the police’s message. They were there to protect the community and the best way I could help them keep me safe was by displaying courtesy and level-headedness.

The New York City education department made a great decision to place police officers into schools for learning purposes — a plan that should be extended to the rest of the state. Building a relationship between children and those who protect them can change the downward slope of police relations in the country.

By instilling admiration and proper values in their youth, cities like Syracuse could get a head start on eliminating crime and paving the way for a safer community in the future.

When it comes to pushing the bar for wellness resource outreach on college campuses, Syracuse University should look to the Project Lighthouse initiative, an online student-run chat service that launched last week at Georgetown University, to enhance the accessibility of mental health services.

The service’s objectives are to better connect students to professional mental health resources and alleviate the workload of the university’s Counseling and Psychiatric Services, The Hoya, Georgetown’s student-run newspaper, reports.

During the 40 hours of training that peer supporters receive, students are directed to refer Project Lighthouse users to the SU peer institution’s professional counseling and health education services.

SU should consider adopting a mental health program comprised of trained peer supporters like Project Lighthouse, as implementing this resource would improve the overall effectiveness of existing campus mental health aids. This option would both help the SU Counseling Center field requests for appointments and provide a health tool that is more accessible and relatable for students who are seeking help.

Whether it is through an online chat service, phone calls or in-person visits, the availability of students who have gone through peer supporter training would be a practical supplement to SU’s current mental health resources. With a high demand for the Counseling Center’s services and a limited number of appointment slots available, increased resources would only help address mental health needs on campus.

Having a fellow member of the student body — who has also received psychology training — listen and respond to mental health queries could potentially be less nerve-wracking. Whereas

some students are comfortable with traditional counseling, others may find that calling a fellow student or chatting with a peer through digital means as a less stressful way of working discussing highly personal topics.

But if SU were to consider the feasibility of a similar project, the primary concern that should be taken into consideration is the need for confidentiality in a program where students would play such an active role.

Beyond a potentially awkward encounter, unintentionally dialing in to a friend or classmate could exacerbate mental health problems if there were to be a breach of health privacy. And when current counseling services are located in one of the most populated places on campus, increased anonymity for those seeking support is crucial.

The SU Counseling Center adheres to the American Psychological Association’s guidelines, which include strictly respecting students’ rights to confidentiality, according to its website. If facilitators of a program similar to Project Lighthouse were able to be held to SU’s standard — either through an outside moderator or bound by a legal contract — that would ensure the confidentiality of program users.

To make students even more comfortable with the prospect of their peers providing mental health support, the student-led nature of this resource would need to be made explicit to the student body members seeking help outside the formal route of the Counseling Center.

With students’ utmost comfort in mind and confidentiality preserved, a program like Project Lighthouse would help foster a healthier campus atmosphere by providing an additional wellness resource and teaching students how to properly navigate conversations surrounding mental health.

Euclid site of off-campus parties during music festival

By Haley Kim and Taylor Watson the daily orange

A Syracuse University student rode her scooter from class on Friday to a Mayfest party on Ostrom Avenue.

“I am dedicated to class, and I am dedicated to Mayfest,” said Lydia Stinson, a junior in the College of Visual and Performing Arts.

Despite the rain, many students celebrated on Euclid Avenue and Clarendon Street before heading to Mayfest in Walnut Park. Red Solo cups littered the ground and songs by Chance The Rapper — one of the performers at Block Party — blasted in the background.

Stinson said she did not mind the rain, which started around 1 p.m. and picked up around 2 p.m. She considered it refreshing, and was looking forward to a free corn dog.

steinberg faculty members and creating what he says is a strengthened focus within Maxwell on citizenship and civic engagement.

But some faculty members have expressed dissatisfaction with Steinberg’s time as dean, particularly with his level of willingness to interact directly with and listen to faculty members.

Since becoming dean, Steinberg has hired between 35 and 40 faculty members, said Mike Wasylenko, the senior associate dean for Maxwell. Those hires include senior faculty members such as Merril Silverstein, the Marjorie Cantor professor of aging studies, and a number of junior faculty members, Steinberg said.

“Our ability to be successful depends on bringing a vibrant group of talented, diverse and committed faculty to the school and to the university,” Steinberg said.

But faculty members in Maxwell indicated that Steinberg has done little over the years to listen to and interact with them. Several Maxwell professors declined via email to be interviewed for this story because they said they hadn’t had much contact with Steinberg. Others declined to be interviewed but referred to Steinberg as things such as a “lousy dean” and commented on his “failings” and “arrogance.”

She first fell in love with teaching when she was a graduate student at the Rhode Island School of Design, where she worked as a graduate assistant. Although she never anticipated a career in higher education, she said she feels honored to be in a career that not only allows her to teach, but to learn and continuously reinvent herself.

She described life as being like a fish: If you are not moving, you are not breathing.

During her eight-year role as VPA dean, Clarke has been in charge of many moves for the college that have helped it flourish.

One of the major achievements of Clarke’s time as dean was splitting up the School of Art and Design into the School of Art and the School of Design. Clarke said this was a long process that had been in discussion prior to her leadership, but one that needed to be

Instead, they were clad in flannels and jerseys, but a few were in costumes.

“I wanted to wear something different from everyone else,” Murphy said.

Stephen Milewski, also a junior in Newhouse, wore a hedgehog onesie. Milewski said his friend had a kangaroo suit, and they wanted to match for Mayfest.

Matheus Lot, a student from Brazil studying at SU for a year, was wearing an American flag-themed top hat and orange sunglasses.

He described his look as “alcoholic Uncle Sam.” Lot represented his home country of Brazil by waving the Brazilian flag.

A level of normalcy was maintained in

the midst of bumping house music and Mayfest celebrations as a mailman and a jogger passed by, and a maintenance worker mowed a lawn.

John Deskavich, a junior in the College of Engineering and Computer Science, took on the role of head chef at one house party.

“I enjoy grilling at home,” Deskavich said as he closed the lid of the grill. “I’m happy to have the opportunity to do it here.”

A few seniors kicked off their final Mayfest with a chocolate chip pancake breakfast before heading on a “house crawl.” They started on Westcott Street and headed to Lancaster, Sumner and Ostrom avenues before making the trip to Walnut Park for official Mayfest festivities.

People from outside of the SU student body were also at the pre-Mayfest celebration. Vito Pelliccia was at SU visiting a friend for Mayfest.

Pelliccia was unsure of what central New York would have to offer, but said he was pleasantly surprised to find good vibes, open parties and friendly people. He spent the fivehour car ride from New Jersey to Syracuse listening to The Chainsmokers and Chance The Rapper to prepare for Block Party.

Students participated in rounds of beer pong, cornhole and KanJam while others watched from the roofs of neighboring homes.

Many said they were heading to Walnut Park later in the day.

Eleanor Carrington Haines, a junior communications and rhetorical studies major, said she wanted to go to get a corn dog.

“Mayfest is a time for the population of Syracuse to come together and take pride in this community and do good for humanity,” Haines said.

could speak openly said that Steinberg “is never here.” For the first four years of his tenure, he came into his office only one day a week, the professor said. The professor added that Steinberg missed several department meetings over the years and, for at least his first four years, didn’t attend Promotion and Tenure Committee meetings.

to my knowledge, nobody has socialized with him,” the professor said. “… He’s a cold fish, frankly. I don’t think he’s interested in people.”

Wasylenko said “it’s hard to say” whether Steinberg has done a good job over the years listening to faculty and said that Maxwell is full of diverse faculty with diverse goals, desires and requests. That creates tensions, Wasylenko said.

“But I think most of the tensions are probably warranted,” he said. “If everyone is just sort of ignoring everything and moving along, that means nobody cares. I think there’s some spirit here, and these people care. That’s a good thing.”

Wasylenko also highlighted Steinberg’s accomplishments as dean, including his launching in 2014 of the Tenth Decade Project — something Steinberg said he is especially proud of.

The initiative in its first year raised nearly $1 million to support faculty teaching and research focused on citizenship, according to the fall news release announcing he would be stepping down.

So far, the initiative has funded five faculty-driven citizenship projects, according to Maxwell’s website.

“It really symbolizes our focus on interdisciplinary work on citizenship and civic engagement, and bridging the gap between the world of learning and scholarship and the world of practice,” Steinberg said of the initiative.

Additionally, Wasylenko pointed out the different speakers that have come to Maxwell during Steinberg’s time as dean. Those speakers include former Secretaries of State Madeleine Albright and Hillary Clinton, as

well as Samantha Power, the United States ambassador to the United Nations.

Steinberg’s ability to bring in those speakers lies in his ambition and persistence, Wasylenko said.

“He just has a very strong sense of what he wants to do, and that has played out,” Wasylenko said. “When he goes after a speaker, he goes after them. If they say, ‘Well, I don’t know if I can come,’ he says, ‘OK, how about another day?’ He keeps at it, and I think that’s an important thing.”

Soon, Steinberg will shift his focus to teaching, research and writing. In the fall, he said he’ll be teaching a core course for Maxwell’s international relations graduate program and added that he’ll continue to teach undergraduate courses on U.S. foreign policy and East Asia.

He also plans to write something on the subject of preparing students better and making them more effective, both as academics and policymakers. Steinberg said he plans to share the insights he’s gained “both from the academic world and the practice world.”

It all ties back to the excerpt on the wall outside Maxwell Auditorium, which highlights his desire to make “the community and world a better place.”

“That kind of contribution to the public wheel has been an inspiration to me, and it’s kind of what attracted me to Maxwell, that this should be the motto of what this enterprise is all about,” Steinberg said.

And while she is often busy, he said Clarke is very open and accessible.

“She’s always willing to meet with faculty members and directors and students,” he said.

“She can be very enthusiastic, particularly of the work of the students in the college.”

But Clarke said she felt as though it was particularly the right moment for her to step down because she felt herself wanting to teach again.

She said she knew what she wanted to do: work with faculty in order to create the best faculty possible and to work with the units of the college to get a very strong sense of identity and a control of their destiny.

But now, Clarke said she thinks she’s gotten to the point where she’s done what she could do.

Said Clarke: “To be in that environment (of teaching and learning), it has been an honor and I feel very fortunate to have had my time here.”

“In other words, he wasn’t there to fight for his own colleagues,” the professor said.

“It’s not OK. I mean, it’s just not OK.” But away from the workplace and behind the scenes, Steinberg is often different than the serious person he presents himself as, Wasylenko said. Steinberg has a strong sense of humor and a number of hobbies, including fishing, gardening and cooking.

Those are things that people who haven’t worked closely with him wouldn’t know, Wasylenko said, and most faculty members fall into that category, the professor who requested to remain unnamed said.

In addition, during Clarke’s time as dean, the graduate program in ceramics, printmaking, sculpture and transmedia; the undergraduate programs in environmental and interior design and industrial and interaction design; the film program; the Department of Drama; the Bandier Program; and the Setnor School of Music have all received top national rankings, according to an SU News release. This has also led to the school seeing an increase in enrollment, particularly in the graduate programs.

Clarke credits many of VPA’s successes to being able to recruit the best faculty, who she said have been the top choices in all of the administration’s recent searches.

“The key is hire great faculty. Now I sound like ‘Field of Dreams’: build it and they will come,” she said.

T

wo SUNY-ESF students were recently awarded with the highest honor granted by the SUNY system.

Margaret Foley and Fareya Zubair, both seniors at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, received the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence, which is given to students throughout the SUNY system. The number of students awarded from each college depends on the size of their graduating class.

The nomination process begins at each SUNY school in January, when students can either selfnominate or a faculty member can nominate them, said Laura Crandall, director of student involvement and leadership at SUNY-ESF. Students must fill out an extensive nomination form to be submitted to an academic governance committee at SUNY-ESF, which is composed of faculty, staff and students, Crandall said. The committee reviews the applications and chooses two applicants to submit to the SUNY committee, which typically agrees with the candidates the college has chosen.

The award is given annually to two outstanding seniors from SUNY-ESF who demonstrate excellence in and out of the classroom, Crandall said.

“We look for well roundedness,” Crandall added.

“We typically go for … a student who has a 3.8 or a 3.5 (GPA) and have done significant work on our campus … than a 4.0 student who has done nothing for campus.”

The students were notified of their award in late February, Zubair said in an email.

Crandall emphasized the prestige of this award by acknowledging how low the percentage of students who actually receive it is.

“We have a hard time selecting candidates,” Crandall said. “Both Margret and Fareya are

exceptional student leaders, very well deserving.

They worked really hard for four years at ESF.” The students were awarded medals and certificates from SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher on April 5 during a ceremony in Albany, which recognized all award recipients from the 64 SUNY schools, Zubair said.

Foley, an environmental and forest biology major, said in an email that she enjoyed the ceremony, as she was able to see other student leaders being recognized and shook the chancellor’s hand.

She said she values campus involvement because it gives her an opportunity to give back and be part of a community that has already given her so much.

A few of her favorite involvement experiences came through the Undergraduate Student Association and her position as a resident assistant at Centennial Hall.

“I wouldn’t be where I am without the support of my family, friends, peers and advisers,” Foley added.

Zubair, a biotechnology major, said she believes involvement on campus is an opportunity for selfgrowth and to create change in the school as well.

She plans to take a gap year after graduation to examine her options.

“I am looking into graduate programs that will be in the health field that allow me to work with child psychiatry or neurology,” Zubair said. “I also want to continue my work with community engagement and non-profits.”

Zubair said her favorite activity is the mentorship program she began with Rob Swanda, a senior at Syracuse University, called Empathy Matters.

The program works with second-grade students in the Syracuse City School District, teaching them leadership and empathy skills.

Zubair said she sees the award as a symbol to keep pushing forward and continue with the work she has begun on campus and in the community. tnwatson@syr.edu

Pushup campaign raises awareness for veteran suicide

By Kenneth Mintz staff writer

United States Marine Corps veteran Jimmy Mac bases most of his decisions around the number 22, which is the average number of veterans that commit suicide daily, according to a 2012 report from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.

As part of the non-profit organization 22Kill, he and others are taking a stand against that statistic.

“We live the number 22 every day,” said Mac, program director of 22Kill.

The organization uses a simple exercise — pushups — to educate the American people about veteran suicide through a social media campaign. The task is to do 22 pushups every day for 22 days while maintaining a social media presence, such as posting videos, during the challenge.

“The 22 veterans a day are our brothers

walnut park would soon be heading down for practice.

Gerald Smith showed up to Mayfest wearing a gray suit and black tie. Smith, a Master of Business Administration student, just concluded his capstone project and came to Mayfest to get food.

Garet Bleir, a sophomore magazine and marketing dual major, dropped by Mayfest with his friends so that he could “live his life to the fullest.”

“I know Chance The Rapper wants me to have good time here,” Bleir said.

Bleir was the source of inspiration behind

and sisters,” Mac said. “... It’s our duty to live for the 22 that are no longer here to live for themselves.”

The pushup challenge follows a similar format to other viral social media campaigns, such as the “ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.” In the summer of 2014, social media imploded with more than 17 million videos of people pouring ice water on themselves in an effort to raise awareness for Lou Gehrig’s Disease research, according to the ALS Association website.

The campaign has caught the attention of students and officials at Syracuse University.

Since Chancellor Kent Syverud was inaugurated two years ago, SU has made veterans affairs a top priority. And for military students at SU, the 22Kill pushup challenge hits home.

U.S. Army Capt. Wandlyn Robinson, who is a masters student in the Defense Comptrollership Program in SU’s Martin J. Whitman School of Management, first became aware of the pushup campaign on Facebook when she

saw two of her friends posting videos about it.

“It’s definitely an issue we don’t think about every day, but when you see something like that on Facebook, it hits home,” Robinson said.

Robinson said she has yet to be nominated for the pushup challenge, but does pushups anyway as part of her morning routine. She said she continues to share her friends’ pushup videos on Facebook.

But often, she added, service members need more assistance when they come back from deployment. A lack of that help, she said, is one of the reasons why mental illness develops when military members return.

Jeff Curtin, a masters student in the Military Visual Journalism program in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, recently completed the pushup challenge after being nominated by his brother. Curtin has been on active duty in the U.S. Air Force since 2005.

It’s not difficult for Curtin to do 22 pushups, he said, but that’s not the point of the challenge.

Veteran suicide should be an issue for the general population, he said, because nonmilitary civilians should be able to see the signs that something is not right when a veteran is fighting mental illness.

Curtin said people should reach out and spend more time with that person “to make them feel, you know, more human.”

Erik Marberger, a freshman dual major in Whitman and Newhouse, is not a member of the military, but took part in the challenge because he said he wanted to raise awareness about the issue to other students.

22Kill also sponsors a 22-kilometer hike and a “Battle Buddy Program” in which anyone can serve as a peer mentor to a veteran who may simply want to talk.

“It takes the entire tribe to have an enriched village,” Mac said. “We are humbled for the opportunity to reach the students of Syracuse University.”

Otto Neiler’s outfit. Neiler, a sophomore forest health major at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, was wearing a white faux fur vest on top of a tie dye shirt.

As he was one of the first 100 people who visited the Mayfest booth, Neiler was able to acquire a Mayfest beanie, which he wore underneath a suede cowboy hat.

“The items inspired me, they awoke something inside of me, a primordial instinct,” Neiler said.

By 2:30 p.m. sprinkles of rain turned into a regular rainfall. Anticipating the rain, some students showed up with umbrellas and ponchos, but a large number of them

simply let themselves get soaking wet.

“I’m sad because they said it was not going to rain, but I’m not going to leave unless it starts pouring,” said Kate Weyant, a freshman television, radio and film major.

The weather did not bother Weyant, especially since she heard that last year it was snowing.

Since this was her first Mayfest, Weyant said she attended because she heard it was a lot of fun and that there would be plenty of free “swag.”

Shanice Bland, a senior television, radio and film major, said her favorite part of Mayfest is being able to see all of her friends, spanning from the ones she made freshman year to those from her senior year.

“Even people you hate you get to become friends with (at Mayfest),” Bland said.

Holding two packets of cotton candy, Kokeith Perry II, a sophomore architecture major, said he mainly attended the festivities for the free food.

Regarding the atmosphere of Mayfest, he added that the music had been getting progressively better.

“This is the best time of the year, where everybody gets to relax,” said Aidan Meyer, a junior public relations major. “It’s such an academically demanding school so it’s nice to get to come together like this.”

North Carolina’s anti-trans law affects SU campus

By Caroline Schagrin contributing writer

On a 12-hour car ride from his college in Iowa to Texas, Erin Duran did not make any stops to use the bathroom in order to avoid hearing disparaging comments or having people follow him on the road.

“I was absolutely compromising my health. I wouldn’t drink for 12 hours to avoid using bathrooms even if I had to go,” said Duran, the associate director of the LGBT Resource Center at Syracuse University.

As a transgender individual, Duran has experienced firsthand the types of discrimination and ridicule transgender people face.

When North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory signed a bill last month prohibiting transgender individuals from using public restrooms of the gender they identify with, Duran was not surprised. He said 2016 has been one of the most dangerous years to be transgender.

More than 175 anti-LGBT bills have been filed across 32 different states this year, according to a report by the Human Rights Campaign.

Soon after, nearly 80 companies, including Apple and Microsoft, signed a letter insisting McCrory repeal the law. PayPal canceled its plans to create a global operations center in North Carolina that would have employed more than 400 people.

“People’s human rights and people’s dignity trumps money being made,” said Tre Wentling, a Ph.D. student in SU’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and a teaching assistant in the women’s and gender studies department.

Wentling said he sees the bill as an opportunity for big corporations to motivate social movements.

“I think this is a great example of the ways that financial capital is important,” he said.

“So what you see is different pockets of agents in the industry that are working together, not intentionally, but it looks this way.”

Duran said he is hoping the controversy surrounding this bill will create a positive change for the transgender community.

“It’s raised conversations about transgender identities and bathroom access for trans people,” Duran said. “It’s raised that to the mainstream consciousness in ways that I think could be really positive as long as we can take this really negative narrative and turn it on its head.”

When Matt Steriti, a sophomore drama major at SU, found out about the bill, he said he was disappointed.

“People are always talking about how far we’ve come and how far forward we’re coming with this stuff and then you take five big steps back and it’s just really frustrating,” Steriti said.

Steriti said he has recently been strug-

“You told me, ‘Without a storm, how do we see the rainbow?’” Dong said. “And ‘if you have a tough life, once you land in your destination, you find happiness.’”

gling with his sexual identity and is thankful the SU campus has been open to genderinclusive bathrooms.

SU has consistently been ranked over the years as one of the most LGBT-friendly campuses. In 2014, SU was among the top 50 most LGBTfriendly campuses in the country, according to the Campus Pride Index. Although it did not break the top 25 in 2015, SU ranks the highest in LGBTQ student life and LGBTQ campus safety, according to the Campus Pride Index.

As of October 2015, Bea González, dean of University College and a member of the Chancellor’s Workgroup on Diversity and Inclusion, said the campus has more than 600 all-gender bathrooms — an increase from 2012, when only eight out of 137 bathrooms in SU’s 17 most-trafficked buildings were all-gender.

“The university has been very aggressively moving toward gender-neutral bathrooms — building them at every opportunity as they rehab the resident halls,” González said.

Currently, there are only three resident and dining halls and 21 academic buildings without any access to all-gender bathrooms, González said. The LGBT Resource Center recently created an online map that indicates where all of these restrooms are located on campus.

González is directly involved with discussions surrounding gender-neutral bathrooms and is currently working with SU’s Athletics Department and facilities to create more awareness on the importance of these bathrooms as safe places for transgender students.

“The university is really trying to understand the needs of our multiple communities and finding ways to be responsive and respectful,” González said.

The workgroup is also actively figuring out the best way to approach creating the gender-neutral signs on the bathrooms because there are multiple variations to signify these facilities, González said.

Steriti said he is also hoping the topic surrounding the transgender community and all-gender bathrooms will eventually become normalized.

“If it’s only in some buildings, it kind of feels weird and different,” Steriti said. “But to put them in every building and to make all the dorm rooms (co-gendered) and little steps like that will just make it feel less abnormal.”

Without all-gender bathrooms in every building and resident hall on campus, some students only have the option of using a restroom that’s five or 10 minutes away, Duran said.

González said she recognizes that there is still progress to be made and added that the university is actively working with the community to make the campus climate as inviting as possible. caschagr@syr.edu

Zhijie Zhao, a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences, recalled that 19 months ago, he sat in the back row of Hendricks with Cao and that on Thursday, he returned to pay tribute to him.

Zhao shared a story from the bedside of Cao’s hospital bed, when Cao, with his speech mumbled, asked to hear the song “Unspeakable Secret.”

“We shall be brothers again in the next life,” Zhao said before “Unspeakable Secret” began to play.

Patricia Burak, director of the Slutzker Center for International Services, shared Chinese proverbs about friendship and emphasized Cao’s love of nature, his parents and his life.

“Hongming will be eternal in our memory and in our Orange spirit,” Burak said. tnwatson@syr.edu

Syracuse local looks to unite cultures with new restaurant

By Alison Boghosian contributing writer

Walking around the north end of Syracuse on a snowy day, Adam Sudmann was struck by the variety of cultures he saw. He realized he could do something to help incorporate these cultures into the community.

And the way that he would do this is through food.

Soon after arriving in Syracuse in late 2013, Sudmann started his own business.

My Lucky Tummy hosts potluck-style parties where people cook and share the distinct cuisines of their home countries.

Now, he has been hired by the Onondaga Community College Food Service Management Program to run Penpal, a restaurant that features a rotating menu of international cuisines. The program

has received a grant to help train people for jobs in permanent growing industries, and they are hoping the restaurant will do just that.

Sudmann originally came from the event and restaurant business, with his career consisting of planning high-status luxury events in New York City. When he moved to Syracuse, he found inspiration in the refugee community and specifically the cuisines they had brought from their home countries, and decided to create My Lucky Tummy.

My Lucky Tummy started out small, but eventually began to attract hundreds of people to the various potlucks. Sudmann said the events are great because they draw a diverse collection of people and bring them together over food.

Now, Sudmann is taking My Lucky Tummy’s mission a step further. Penpal is projected to open in the beginning of August, with construction finishing in early July.

The name of the restaurant, Sudmann said, refers to the idea of a “correspon-

dence between cultures.” The first cuisine offered at the restaurant will be Pakistani, and the menu is set to change every six months.

The restaurant is going to draw many of its employees from refugee resettlement organizations.

“There’s a very large refugee resettlement operation, particularly on the north side of town,” Sudmann said. “There’s something like 10,000 people who have come in the last several years from all over the world.”

Refugees often get into very low-level jobs that they typically never move up from, Sudmann added. He wants to take some of these people who have a desire to be in the food industry and teach them the

skills they need for living-wage jobs.

They will be cross-trained for different jobs within the restaurant and also assisted with their English skills along the way if necessary.

Additionally, Sudmann said he wants Penpal to be an “entrepreneur incubator.”

He will be looking for individuals who

want to start their own restaurant or work in the food industry but maybe have had trouble gaining their footing in the transition to a new country.

He also hopes to fight the negative stigma surrounding refugees and immigrants by creating an atmosphere of “culture and conversation” within his restaurant.

“The refugee narrative is toxic right now,” Sudmann said.

Many refugees have been displaced by bad circumstances or warfare, he said, and so his business wants to help them find something valuable about their culture that they can find the confidence to share with others.

Sudmann believes people tend to be confused by, frightened of and separate from other cultures. He wants the restaurant to be a place where people from diverse backgrounds and experiences, different countries of origin and various points on the economic ladder can cross paths and get out of their “bubble” of comfort.

Johnny Rockets’ new look doesn’t take away from the chain’s signature flavors staff writer

ohnny Rockets has been a classic burger chain for years, with its retro feel and all-American comfort food appealing to customers of all ages. But now, with the modern craze for healthy fast food, Johnny Rockets will restructure their restaurant in Destiny USA with Johnny Rockets Burger Factory restaurant. But at its core, Johnny Rockets is still the same joint Americans have come to love.

Most of the changes to the Destiny USA Johnny Rockets have been surface-level. The restaurant now has an industrial modern feel, with exposed brick placed against honeycolored bamboo high top tables. Customers can now order takeout on an iPad placed right by the door. The inside is clean and chic, but the classic diner counter and the signature Johnny Rockets ‘50s to ‘80s hits playlist still remains my favorite part. After all, it wouldn’t really be a trip to Johnny Rockets if “Any Way You Want It” by Journey wasn’t playing.

for the day featured Bacon Cheese Tater Tots, and there was no way to say no to such a fantastic combination. I also tried the Route 66 burger with mushrooms, white cheddar and caramelized onions, fries, sweet potato fries and finished off with a milkshake.

The tots were my favorite item. Served as an appetizer, they were covered in shredded cheddar, crispy bacon, chopped scallions and a hint of queso. I was in cholesterol heaven. I would have liked to have more of the queso flavor or have the cheddar be meltier than it was, but that’s really my only complaint. The best part is this fantastic combination is easy to make at home, even for those who are challenged in the kitchen.

The burger came out of the kitchen soon after the tots. The patty itself was thin, which is typical for Johnny Rockets and general fast food style. The mushrooms were pleasantly browned and, coupled with the caramelized onions, they added a subtly sweet flavor to the end of the savory bite of beef, cheese and potato bread bun.

All together, the combination was interesting and a welcomed change from a typical burger.

I have eaten burgers like the Route 66 and I thought it was well-executed, but nevertheless, I do feel that something was missing from the

1 chord of flavors.

Although the Route 66 burger traditionally comes with mayonnaise, I ate it with salt and pepper. It was a little dry, so perhaps some A.1 Steak Sauce or ranch dressing would have helped it go down easier. The additional sauce would have added a tangy flavor that would complete the overall taste.

The fries were perfectly crisp but the slightest bit too oily for my taste, though that’s a personal preference other customers may not be bothered by. The sweet potato fries, however, were really good. They had a subtle crunch, but not enough to overpower the sweet softness of the yam.

Of course, to finish off the meal, I had a traditional chocolate milkshake. There were plenty of options on the shake menu, including chocolate peanut butter, strawberry banana and plenty of candy varieties, like Butterfinger and M&M. They even had a chocolate Oreo shake.

The Johnny Rockets near my home offers my favorite shake, a Ghirardelli Dark

Chocolate Shake. It tastes exactly like the regular chocolate shake, only the flavor is more intense. I was slightly disappointed to see that they didn’t serve it at the Destiny USA location.

Either way, the regular chocolate shake hit the spot after the meal. It was thick, creamy and packed a powerful chocolate flavor.

Best of all, Johnny Rockets as a brand is quite affordable. Most burgers checked in at around $7, the fries are unlimited and come with the meal, and the shakes are not expensive either. Johnny Rockets is a great option to eat a decent, quality meal after shopping at Destiny, without ruining the delicate collegiate financial situation.

In the end, although Johnny Rockets is implementing its new Burger Factory concept, underneath the shiny white tiling and hipster warehouse-style lighting I still see the same restaurant. Johnny Rockets will always be classic American to the core, serving burgers, fries and shakes with a side of oldies hits that have gone well past their prime, in a good way. cmrussel@syr.edu

Documentary gives perspectives on Onondaga Nation

By Andrew Mendes contributing writer

A new film provides insights on how the Onondaga Nation is currently living and how it is trying to fight injustices against the Earth and against themselves.

“The Good Mind” is a documentary by Gwendolen Cates. It made its central New York premiere at the Syracuse International Film Festival’s SpringFest on Saturday, along with two other short films: “My Identity” and “Iroquois Creation Story.”

Each film shown was related to Native American culture and had some connection to central New York.

“All of these films share something special,” said the festival’s executive director, Mike Massurin, who opened the day’s screenings.

The film is mostly told through the eyes of Onondaga Nation Faithkeeper, Oren Lyons, who also attended the screening.

While the film began by covering the history of the Onondaga Nation and how the United States government ignored the treaty that was signed in 1792, the film also explores the stance the Onondagan people

what is the onondaga nation?

The Onondaga Nation is one of the six nations making up the Haudenosaunee, also known as the Iroquois Confederacy. Its territory is located just south of Syracuse. Because of its central New York location, it is known as the Haudenosaunee capitol.

who is oren lyons?

At Syracuse University, Oren Lyons is known as the name behind the residence hall on Euclid Avenue. Lyons is an SU alumnus who played lacrosse both during and after his time at Syracuse. Today, he is an environmental and indigenous rights activist and a Faithkeeper for the Onondaga Nation.

take on issues like fracking or pollution.

Oren Lyons narrated most of the film, but other Onondaga Nation members such as Joe Heath, the General Counsel for the Onondaga Nation and Asa Shenandoah, mother of a young son she is raising in Onondaga tradition, also explain issues and philosophies.

“Our sacred places are right here,”

Shenandoah said, explaining the differences between how she and her people view the Earth compared to others.

At points, the film leaves central New York for other locales. In the documentary, Lyons visits the Huffington Post headquarters in New York City to do a video and discussion about the land rights dispute.

When the film ended, there was uni-

versal praise from the audience. They erupted in immediate applause the moment the credits began, and did not stop until the discussion panel started.

The panel consisted of Cates and several Onondaga Nation members, including Lyons, Heath and Jake Edwards.

After about five minutes into the panel, Edwards’s two grandchildren who were featured in the film got to sit on the panel as well.

“This was an adventure, as you could see,” Lyons said as he opened the panel.

“We don’t usually see this continuity. The first time I saw it was today, thought it was pretty good.”

The entire crowd laughed at Lyon’s joke.

Another audience member told Cates that the film was so informational and relatable that it should be used for educational purposes. The audience member suggested showing the film in schools to teach children not only about Native American culture, but also environmental issues.

“Youth are our future,” Heath chimed in. “They need to understand how we need to protect the Earth.”

Blum: After coming out, hack struggles to find self-acceptance

I

was drunk and lonely at my own going away party, four days away from calling Syracuse home for the next four years. I’d been nervously looking forward to what was in my future. A new home with new friends. New classes and a new life. This was a night to celebrate the excitement of looking forward. But I was looking back.

The late hours of Aug. 17, 2012 were creeping into the early ones of the following day. Everything before has run together, and the days after are a blur. The day I first came out. The day I first said “I’m gay” out loud, instead of letting it repeat in my head, over and over and over.

I just wanted to tell someone before I left for college. It was a goal that consumed me. It was a goal that I was constantly aware I was failing at.

My right shoulder rested on the living room armchair, my left hand carrying the drink that I was slowly sipping on. I blocked out the 50 drunk high schoolers around me dancing to music blasting out of the small speakers on my counter top. People would come up and talk to me, asking if I was OK. Each time I wanted to just come clean and be honest, break down into an emotional mess and say everything that was isolated to my own tormented head.

I had gone every day of my life that I could

SAM BLUM

THAT’S WHAT I SAID

remember wanting to say it. Different loops of when, where, how and who ran through my mind in what felt like every waking moment.

The party made worse everything that was already making me sad. It’s hard to pinpoint why I was too scared to say it. I can’t really explain why I pulled my best friend aside later that night and finally did say it.

All I know is that expressing it out loud in the long and echoing hallway of my apartment building felt liberating in the moment.

Everything would be easy after that, I had convinced myself. But the short-term relief hasn’t provided me the same longterm liberation that I had hoped and expected. Not even close. Today, as I write this, I feel the same as I did four years before.

I’ve spent the four years since as a writer, editor and general addict of The Daily Orange. Each and every single one of my 624 bylines has told someone else’s story.

The past three months alone have included stops to St. Louis, Chicago, North Carolina, Queens, Houston and even a Donald Trump rally. I started by covering women’s tennis as a freshman, and finished by covering the Final Four to end my senior year.

This is the last time my name will appear, and this is the last chance I have to tell the story that defines me. It’s a story that I thought, by now, would be easy to tell.

In the days after my first coming out story, I felt like a pro at telling people.

The next afternoon I told two of my friends on two different walks. One on Broadway near my home, the other in Central Park. I told another on Facebook chat and one over text. I told my freshman year roommate over the partial wall of our split double. (I was the first gay person he’d ever met!) I let down a girl who liked me at a party. I told people that were my friends and people that weren’t. I was riding a high, but it didn’t feel natural. I still had an uneasy lump in my gut before the words ever came out. It felt relieving, but it didn’t feel right.

It didn’t feel like I was telling people about the person I wanted to be, just the person that I was.

It wasn’t because I got negative reactions. In fact, I only got support. Sure, some people were surprised. Others said awkward things or asked awkward questions. One person apologized for not knowing, another proclaimed they always knew. Everyone accepted me. Except me.

It’s supposed to be easy now. It’s no longer weird and people don’t judge you.

The Supreme Court said gay people could get married, everyone changed their profile picture on Facebook for a day and it became normal, maybe even mainstream. I wish I was one of those people who could blindly bandwagon with the rest. But seeing the celebration of others only adds to the torture because it reminds me of a feeling I don’t think I can have. I’m a part of a community that I don’t feel like I fit into.

There are so many success stories about people being themselves. It gets better, I’ve heard. It might not be a secret anymore, but it’s still a struggle. It was before I wrote this and will be after.

Having this platform to write shows what I’ve accomplished. I came to The Daily Orange to write about sports. I lived a dream come true. But it’s also served as a way to perpetuate what I didn’t accomplish, and may never will.

I still look back to Aug. 17, 2012, and to the hours that crept into the morning after.

I remember how I felt, because it’s how I still feel. In that moment, I wanted the courage to tell people the truth. In this moment, I’m still trying to live that truth.

the game at half. This time, it was Syracuse that scored a goal right before the end of the half to tie the game after the Tar Heels opened up a 7-6 lead.

Halle Majorana scored the first goal of the second half for Syracuse. Bodt stepped up and scored two goals in the second half after having one in the first. Her last goal opened up a three-goal lead for the Orange, making it 11-8.

But the Tar Heels wouldn’t go away easily. Two straight goals made it 11-10 and put the pressure back on Syracuse. From then on, the two teams exchanged free position goals, going back and forth. Each time SU opened up a two-goal cushion, UNC cut it back down to one.

31.3% SU’s Jocelyn Cater only allowed 31.3 percent (5-of-16) of the batters she faced to reach base. Cater relieved AnnaMarie Gatti on Sunday.

She did walk three, but she located her fastball and changeup well. BC hitters were aggressive all game, not afraid to swing at pitches off the plate or early in the count.

As close as North Carolina got, it still wasn’t able to tie the game. But that changed with 1:49 left in the contest. SU defender Brenna Rainone turned the ball over and Sammy Jo Tracy ended up with a free position. She fired the ball past Allie Murray, who fell backwards and put her head down in disappointment.

draw controls

The Boston College dugout erupted after Jessie Daulton belted a two-run double off the “New York’s College Team” sign in center field.

It was only the third inning, but the hit — already BC’s 10th — gave the Eagles a 5-0 lead.

But that would be the end of Boston College’s offensive threat. Syracuse’s Jocelyn Cater relieved AnnaMarie Gatti in the next inning and shut down the red hot Eagles. She came in with two runners on and just one out, but struck out back-toback hitters to end the inning. Her second strikeout had Taylor Coroneos fishing for a ball in the dirt.

“You’re just trying to stop the bleeding at that point,” SU head coach Mike Bosch said. “To her credit, (Cater) was much more confident on the mound today.”

Despite Boston College’s (28-21, 10-8 Atlantic Coast) 6-0 win over Syracuse (27-

24, 9-14) on Sunday at SU Softball Stadium, Cater silenced the Eagles’ offense. In 3 2/3 innings of work, she allowed two hits and one run to a team that had had back-to-back multi-run innings.

In the series opener on Saturday, Cater allowed seven runs on 11 hits across four innings. She left balls up in the zone, walked three batters and hit two en route to earning her ninth loss of the season. On Sunday, though, she had much better command of her pitches.

Cater worked inside and outside effectively, inducing soft grounders and fly balls.

Regardless of the count, she went to her changeup much more than she did Saturday to keep BC hitters off balance.

“Generally I haven’t been comfortable with the change(up) on 3-2,” Cater said, “but that’s kind of what we had to do for them.

We risked a couple walks just to mix it up because that’s how we got to them. They were hitting everything we had.”

On the ensuing draw, it looked like Marie McCool recovered the ball, but it slipped out of her stick and found Bodt. SU called a timeout and drain the clock but Bodt got the ball knocked away from her and scooped up by UNC. Then Majorana committed a penalty to give UNC the ball. Another free-position goal gave UNC the lead.

misses down in the zone.

In the seventh inning, Cater induced three consecutive fly outs against Annie Murphy, Tatiana Cortez and Chloe Sharabba — BC’s two, three and four hitters. The trio had a combined five hits on the day, but Cater sent them down in order.

Cortez, whose .374 batting average ranks second on the team, had hit Cater hard on Saturday.

Whether Cater threw it inside, outside, high or low, Cortez “rocketed it.” So during one at-bat, Cater threw Cortez four consecutive changeups. It worked.

“I just thought that she had command of it and with their bigger hitter up, they had been sitting on the hard stuff all day,” said assistant coach Kristyn Sandberg, SU’s pitch caller. “The last thing you’re going to expect is four changeups in a row.”

While Cater didn’t get a decision, she relieved Gatti and kept BC at bay. mguti100@syr.edu

The Tar Heels won the ensuing draw and called timeout, seemingly clinching the game with 30 seconds left. But after a lengthy review, the referees deemed one of UNC’s sticks illegal and SU was awarded possession and eventually tied the game.

After failing to hold leads in both halves, SU finally got its second chance. It got possession to start the sudden death overtime with an extra-player opportunity. With one goal, SU could have put all its mistakes in the past.

But instead, Messinger scored a goal, dashing SU’s hopes of repeating as ACC champions.

Just one more time, SU had turned the ball over and hurt itself. One more time, North Carolina came from behind and beat the Orange. This time, though, a championship was on the line. tdlanger@syr.edu | @tomer_langer

By Matthew Gutierrez staff writer

For the moment, Jessica Dreswick’s no-hit bid was in jeopardy.

Alicia Hansen led off the sixth with a liner that hit Dreswick’s left leg and ricocheted right to Boston College third baseman Danielle Thomas. It looked, if only for a second, that the hustling Hansen could beat the throw and end Dreswick’s nohit bid. But Thomas fielded it quickly and threw a strike to first base to get Hansen by a step.

It was one of just two hard-hit balls Syracuse mustered against Dreswick. The other — a Maddi Doane single to center field — eventually broke-up Dreswick’s nohit bid in the seventh. At the time, BC’s sophomore right-hander was just two outs away from a no-hitter.

Dreswick kicked dirt in frustration after Doane’s liner, but got Corinne Ozanne to ground into a 5-4-3 double play to complete the shutout. Her dominant outing powered the Eagles (28-21, 10-8 Atlantic Coast) past Syracuse (27-24, 9-14), 6-0, Sunday afternoon at SU Softball Stadium, completing BC’s weekend sweep. It was the first time this season Syracuse has been held to just one hit.

The Orange has dropped five of its last six ACC games and sits as the No. 7 seed in the conference. The top eight teams advance to the ACC tournament. For SU to miss the tournament, Pittsburgh will need to take at least two of three at BC. In the No. 9 spot, Georgia Tech will also need to sweep North Carolina next weekend.

That would tie Georgia Tech with Syracuse for the No. 8 seed. The Yellow Jackets and Orange split a doubleheader last month.

“She just really controlled the zone,” SU head coach Mike Bosch said. “She didn’t fall behind, she pounded the zone and she hit her spots.”

What came out of Dreswick’s hands Sunday stifled SU hitters. As a light drizzle fell, she jammed hitters, producing several opposite-field foul balls and jam-shots.

Andrea Bombace led off the second inning with a liner off her bat’s handle. She took three steps out of the box, then stopped in her tracks and jogged back to the dugout after shortstop Jessie Daulton corralled it.

The next batter, Hannah Dossett, hit a

grounder to second base that snapped her orange Easton bat. Rachel Burkhardt followed with a clunker to shortstop to end the inning.

Dreswick earned ACC co-pitcher of the week honors last week after tossing a no-hitter against North Carolina State.

She leads BC with a 13-6 record and 2.19 earned run average and has won six of her last seven decisions. While she only averages 3.45 strikeouts per seven innings, she throws strikes and attacks hitters.

She just really controlled the zone. She didn’t fall behind, she pounded the zone and she hit her spots.

Mike Bosch su head coach on bc’s jessica dreswick

Dreswick allowed only two runners to reach base on Sunday. In the first inning, Doane fell behind 0-2, but worked the count to 3-2 before reaching base on a walk. Doane also reached in the seventh, but that inning, like the first, ended with a double play.

Only Sammy Fernandez, Doane and Ozanne batted three times. Part of what made Dreswick so effective was her ability to pound the inside corner, especially to SU’s right-handed hitters.

“If it was being called inside, it was going inside,” Hansen said. “Up and in, up and in.

Wherever it was called, it was going.”

Even though SU assistant coach Kristyn Sandberg could decipher where the pitches were coming and relay that to hitters, SU still managed just two base runners. Syracuse hitters often knew whether the pitch would be inside or out, but couldn’t drive the ball.

While her fastball wasn’t the fastest SU has seen this year, Dreswick worked fairly quickly and hit her spots to dampen the Syracuse offense. And while she allowed Doane to reach base twice, Dreswick faced the minimum number of batters — 21 — thanks to a pair of double plays.

“At the end of the day, she just kept pounding the zone, pounding the zone,” Sandberg said. “And we couldn’t make the adjustment to square the ball up.” mguti100@syr.edu

3 takeaways from Orange’s ACC championship game win digital editor

Fourth-seeded Syracuse (10-4, 2-2 Atlantic Coast) won its second straight Atlantic Coast Conference championship on Sunday, beating third-seeded Duke (10-7, 2-2), 14-8, at Fifth Third Bank Stadium in Kennesaw, Georgia. SU made its third straight conference title game appearance and grabbed its second consecutive ACC championship victory over Duke.

The Orange offense was spread out with Tim Barber leading the way with four goals. At the half, six players scored all six of Syracuse’s goals.

Myles Jones paced the Blue Devils with two goals. Deemer Class was held scoreless on 10 shot attempts after scoring seven goals in the teams’ first meeting.

SU earned an automatic NCAA tournament berth with the win.

Here are three observations from the game.

Weathering the storm With 7:10 left in a one-goal game and Syracuse in the middle of a minute-long, man-up

opportunity, the officials blew their whistles and both teams jogged off the field because of lightning in the area.

Syracuse was trying to stall, taking almost every possession in the fourth quarter down to the final seconds of the shot clock. A storm rolled into the area and filled the field with water at Fifth Third Bank Stadium.

The original delay started at 1:48 p.m. A restart time was originally set for 3:15 p.m., then 4 p.m. before the teams finally moved to Turf Field 1 at Kennesaw State and resumed the game at 4:45 p.m.

Dylan Donahue scored 13 seconds after the game resumed to put the Orange ahead by two. The Orange went on a four-goal run after the restart to win comfortably.

Not again When Syracuse lost to Duke, 16-15, in overtime in Durham, North Carolina on March 26, a struggling Orange defense watched a five-goal, third-quarter lead and four-goal lead to start the fourth quarter quickly slip from its grasp.

Duke scored five straight goals and won

NICK MARIANO leads Syracuse in goals scored (32), eight more than second most.

The UMass transfer had two goals and two assists Sunday. courtesy of the acc

5-of-7 faceoffs in the fourth to send the game into overtime.

But on Sunday, Syracuse recovered from a late Duke surge to pull out the win.

A defense anchored by improved slides and Evan Molloy in net recovered from a threegoal Duke spurt in the third quarter that brought the Blue Devils within one. Williams recovered from losing the last four faceoffs of the third quarter to win five in the fourth.

Brick wall About a month ago, Syracuse’s goalie situation was wrought with uncertainty. Both Evan Molloy and Warren Hill seemed to be mediocre options at best in net. But with a 13-save and just eight goals allowed performance on Sunday,

Molloy continued his recent stretch of dominant performances and led Syracuse to victory.

The first-time starter was consistently on the ground making saves with his body and legs. At the end of the first quarter, Molloy picked up a groundball and heaved it to Donahue at midfield, who then scored with just one second left in the first quarter. It was Molloy’s first career assist — something that rarely happens in lacrosse.

By the half, Molloy had held one of the nation’s top scoring duo in Jones and Class scoreless. Duke assistant coach Matt Danowski told ESPN’s Paul Carcaterra during the break that its biggest issue was solving Molloy.

Jones ultimately tallied two goals, but Class had no goals on 10 shots.

duke

it’s certainly great to have the win.”

When the two teams met in March, the Orange blew a four-goal, fourth-quarter lead. Faceoff specialist Ben Williams failed to win key possessions down the stretch and the Blue Devils knocked off SU before the Orange even had a chance with the ball in overtime. On Sunday, though, Syracuse did what it took down the stretch.

In three of the last four times these teams played, the game was decided by one goal. For most of the game on Sunday, this time would be no different. But that’s when the blowout began.

After the Blue Devils tied it up at two in the first quarter, Dylan Donahue caught a pass in transition from goalie Evan Molloy.

With a three-on-two opportunity, Donahue carried the ball toward the net and took the space to wind up and shoot. That put Syracuse up by one again. But the play started with Nick Mariano checking a Duke player from behind and forcing the turnover.

And Molloy’s ability to pick the ball up, start the clear and kickstart Syracuse’s offense was a key throughout the game.

Molloy made another diving save with 11 minutes left in the second quarter. Then he made another quick pass to defensive midfielder Joe Gillis. And then the Orange scored another quick goal. Gillis carried the ball toward the net, shook off a defender and canned a shot from just a few yards out to give SU a 5-3 lead in the second quarter.

While the rebounds off Molloy’s saves bounced into the Orange’s sticks, a rebound off Duke goalie Danny Fowler went into Tim Barber’s stick. Barber caught it, wound up and finished to push Syracuse’s lead to three.

The Orange held its 8-5 lead in the third and perhaps even more importantly, Duke’s

two most dynamic offensive players, Deemer Class and Myles Jones, combined for just two goals and no assists. In the team’s first matchup in March, Class had seven goals and two assists while Jones had two apiece.

Jones finally got on the board with 4:12 left in the third as he roll dodged, switched to his left hand and put a bounce shot past Molloy.

As the Blue Devils climbed back, Syracuse’s potential downfall mimicked its blown leads earlier in the season: at Johns Hopkins, at Cornell and on the road against this same Blue Devils team.

But in that game, Molloy was still on the bench as the backup for Warren Hill, Syracuse’s offense wasn’t as defined and Williams didn’t win the key faceoffs.

On Sunday, Williams won the first faceoff of the fourth quarter. After cycling the ball, Sergio Salcido, who has been an offensive spark plug throughout the second half of the season, threw a skip pass to Barber. The senior attack caught it, wound up and ripped it home.

It wouldn’t be that easy, though. Right after Barber’s goal, Jones scored his second by dodging down the left alley, beating Scott Firman and getting his hands free.

And just as Jones answered, so did Williams by winning his third faceoff in a row.

But that’s when the game was halted due to lightning. The field flooded with water and when play resumed, SU kept pouring on Duke with goals.

“I was pleasantly surprised with the emotion,” Desko said. “I thought after sitting around for a few hours, we’d be a little bit flat, but guys came fired up and ready to play.”

The fans that stood and cheered as Syracuse trekked to Turf Field 1 had to wait for their team to seal the deal. And after a dominant final stretch, those fans could cheer what they ultimately wanted: an ACC title.

Graduate transfer picks SU

SU takes ACC title with 14-8 win over Duke after field change

yracuse fans lined a fence and gave the Orange players a standing ovation.

The team was parading out of Fifth Third Bank Stadium more than four hours after the game started.

But the fans weren’t celebrating a victory. That would have to wait. Seven minutes 10 seconds remained in the contest to decide a conference champion.

Only one goal separated Syracuse and Duke. And after a 2-hour 57-minute weather delay, what was at stake was the difference between locking up an NCAA tournament berth rather than assuming it was.

Play resumed across the street at “Turf Field 1” and

the floodgates on the Orange’s offense opened up. Five different players scored after the restart and SU cruised to a 14-8 victory.

No. 4 seed Syracuse (10-4, 2-2 Atlantic Coast) won its second consecutive ACC title over No. 3 seed Duke (10-7, 2-2) on Sunday afternoon in Kennesaw, Georgia.

With the victory, SU clinched an automatic berth into the NCAA tournament. After the delay, Syracuse outscored the Blue Devils by five goals in the final 7:10 to secure the win.

“Really an interesting day between the regular game and coming out for the last seven minutes,” Orange head coach John Desko said in a CuseTV interview. “I’d have to look back to see what happened. Everything happened so quickly, but see duke page 19

Former Colorado State guard John Gillon will transfer to Syracuse, he announced in a tweet Sunday afternoon.

Gillon, who will receive his degree this month from CSU, will be immediately eligible.

As a Ram, Gillon averaged 13.2 points per game last season in an average of 31.7 minutes. He shot 38.3 percent on field goals and 33.3 percent on 3-pointers. The 6-foot, 168-pound Houston native began his collegiate career at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

After playing there his freshman season and averaging 10.6 points per game, Gillon transferred to Colorado State.

Due to NCAA transfer rules, Gillon had to sit out in 2013-14. In his first year playing at CSU, Gillon was named the Mountain West Sixth Man of the Year.

In four seasons on the collegiate level, Gillon’s teams have never reached the NCA A Tournament. This past season, the Rams lost in the conference championship game to Fresno State by nine points.

With fifth-year senior Michael Gbinije leaving SU, the Orange will have an opening at its point guard position. Syracuse returns point guard Frank Howard, who will be a sophomore next season, and brings in freshman guard Tyus Battle.

Freshman wing Malachi Richardson declared for the NBA Draft but did not sign an agent, so he still has the option to return to school for his sophomore season

SU drops ACC title game, 15-14, in overtime to Tar Heels

By Tomer Langer asst. copy editor

Erica Bodt had a free position opportunity with 7.2 seconds left.

Syracuse was down one to North Carolina and Bodt was 8 meters away from tying the game at 14 and forcing overtime.

She threw a pass to the outside but it went wide. Kayla Treanor picked it up with three seconds

left and flung it back inside. Goalie Megan Ward stepped up to try and intercept the pass. The ball ended up in Kelly Cross’s stick, who flung it forward as time expired. Syracuse players jumped in elation as the Tar Heels looked on in confusion.

Syracuse won the opening draw in overtime. But a penalty on Nicole Levy gave UNC possession back, and several seconds later Aly Messinger cut inside and bounced

the ball past Allie Murray. She dropped her stick and got mobbed

3:40 Amount of time in which Syracuse blew a 13-11 lead late in the second half against UNC

by her teammates as Murray lay on the ground in defeat.

No. 2 seed Syracuse (16-5, 5-2 Atlantic Coast) held leads at the beginnings of both halves and won the opening draw in overtime. But each time, it let its control slip away. Meanwhile, No. 1 seed North Carolina (16-2, 7-0) capitalized on every SU mistake to eventually win the ACC championship game, 15-14, on Sunday afternoon at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Virginia.

Just over two weeks ago SU

hosted UNC. With just more than 26 minutes left in the game, SU had a 10-7 lead. But UNC scored four straight goals and eventually won the game, 12-11.

Both teams met in the conference title game last year. The Orange came away with a 9-8 double-overtime victory. In that game, SU scored the first three goals but UNC came back and tied see unc page 15
