It’s been about five months since the actual external review began, he said.

The final report is expected to be submitted to the chancellor next semester.

SU develops online master’s program for sergeants

By Gianna Prudente contributing writer

Ten sergeant majors stationed in Fort Bliss, Texas, have joined the Syracuse University community this semester through a fellowship program for military-connected students.

SU’s School of Education partnered with the Institute for Veterans and Military Families and University College to create the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy Fellowship Program. The one-

year program includes a 30-credit master’s degree in instructional design, development and evaluation offered online through the School of Education.

The U.S. Sergeants Major Academy was seeking an online master’s degree program for its instructors and found that SU was already offering the degree, said Michael Frasciello, dean of University College. At the time, SU was in the process of offering its instructional design, development and evaluation degree online, he said.

The degree provides students with the expertise to design, implement and evaluate non-technology and technology supported instructional solutions. It was the degree program’s quality that drew the Army’s academy to SU, said Michael Haynie, vice chancellor for strategic initiatives and innovation and founder and executive director of the IVMF. “Over the years, we have been focused on serving the educational needs of veterans and their

Syracuse University’s Office of Community Engagement is working to provide financial connections to central New York residents through its Building Local initiative.

The program aims to utilize local vendors instead of outsourcing resources and services for campus prospects. SU is pursuing three areas: hiring, building and buying local. Central New York residents and businesses will be hired to work on university projects, with SU purchasing local products.

SU wants to ensure its campus construction projects include businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans and individuals with disabilities, said Bea González, SU’s vice president of community engagement.

“If we’re helping small businesses grow their businesses through participation in our projects, we’re helping the local regional economy.”

González said.

The Building Local initiative hosted its first annual Procurement Fair in May, which connected SU departments to approximately 200 local vendors, said Jean Gallipeau, a comptroller in the Division of Business, Finance and Administrative Services who attended the fair.

Almost all of the schools and colleges at the university were represented as well as departments, such as Information Technology, Food and Auxiliary Services.

“When I left that night I felt so proud to be Orange,” Gallipeau said.

The fair exceeded the expectations of both the university departments and the vendors who attended, Gallipeau said.

One of the vendors involved in the initiative is Mattessich Iron, which was established in 2008 and focuses on metalwork in the building and construction industry. The company is a veteran-owned business.

“I feel very appreciative towards the leadership at Syracuse University for stepping up and putting these requirements into place,” said Mike Mattessich, owner of Mattessich Iron. “It allows companies that wouldn’t have been regarded for some of these projects to be noticed and have the chance to prove their value to the construction industry.”

SU generates about $1.1 billion of extra income to the city, according to the university’s 2017 economic impact report. The university also spends $513 million on payroll expenses — money that is eventually see local page4

Toner Prize winner talks political reporting contributing writer

Jason Zengerle, a journalist and the 2019 Toner Prize winner, spoke at Syracuse University Tuesday about his investigative work covering politics during the Trump administration.

Zengerle’s talk at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications came about six months after the school awarded him its Toner Prize for Excellence in Political Reporting. He currently works as a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine and as a GQ Magazine correspondent.

Newhouse recognized Zengerle for reporting on the effect of Donald Trump’s presidency on the House Permanent Select

Committee on Intelligence. The Toner Program was established in 2009 and pays tribute to Robin Toner, a Newhouse alumna and the first woman to be a national political correspondent for The New York Times.

His stories focus on the downstream effect of the Trump administration on political institutions but also on individuals. These are topics that usually take more time for him to research and formulate, Zengerle said.

Long-form magazine writing can connect stories in daily news articles to tell a story in a bigpicture way that provides greater understanding to readers, he said.

Zengerle was driven to magazine writing because of this analytical aspect that is often missing from

the daily news cycle.

Zengerle said his desire to report off-the-beaten-path has led to his success in creating engaging longform political content for numerous publications. He’s found more unique stories by covering areas outside of Washington, D.C., such as Texas and Alabama, that often lack coverage by local publications.

“The worst thing for me when I get to a story is to find another journalist is there,” Zengerle said.

“You want to have ownership over what you’re doing and what you’re reporting, and the other part is that the more reporters are around something the more it changes the dynamic of what you’re seeing.”

Zengerle did not study nor major in journalism, but his love for writing drove him to consider the pro-

fession post-graduation. This choice led to a job at The New Republic, a political magazine, where he started as a fact-checker and a reporter who did not cover politics.

After the 2016 presidential election, Zengerle’s writing at The New York Times Magazine focused on Washington, D.C., as readers wanted to know more about the incoming Trump administration, he said.

“In a lot of ways, the last couple of years have been a testament to the importance and really the power of political journalism,” Zengerle said. “It is my hope that the next couple of years will support that and that when we emerge from the other side of this, the institution of journalism will be strengthened rather than weakened.” sabergan@syr.edu

GSO members discuss unequal representation

By Richard J Chang asst. copy editor

Syracuse University’s graduate creative writing program hasn’t had a senator in the Graduate Student Organization in at least seven years.

This lack of representation is a problem GSO has long dealt with.

GSO, the government body for graduate students, does not have representatives from a majority of academic departments. Only 27 of 150 departments have senators.

Academic program senators attend monthly senate meetings and share what was discussed with members of their departments.

Airline checkpoint officials at the Syracuse Hancock International Airport discovered an unloaded, licensed gun in a man’s travel bag Monday. The travel bag belonged to a 50-year-old man, who wasn’t charged.

The senators also sit on at least one senate committee.

Graduate students without a program senator may feel like their voices aren’t represented in GSO advocacy and policy, said internal vice president Nick Mason, a doctoral student in the history department.

“GSO exists to serve graduate students, not the other way around,” Mason said. “The student fee they pay every year goes to GSO budget, so you want your individual needs, and your department needs to both be represented at the Senate.”

GSO President Mirjavad Hashemi said the Senate will work on

improving the lack of representation from many programs this year.

Graduate students are elected to the Senate through their registered student organizations, which encompass multiple programs based on school or learning subject.

“A lot of grads don’t interact with the GSO because they don’t have a reason to or they aren’t aware of the things GSO can do for them,” Mason said.

Former GSO President Rajesh Kumar said he saw a similar problem during his time in the Senate, but to a different degree. When he was president, between 40 and 50 programs had a senator, he said.

As president, Kumar said he

gave presentations to 18 academic departments to inform graduate students on current issues and to gather opinions on what the senators should work to address. This type of outreach is an important part of communicating to graduate students that the Senate is listening to them, he said.

“Those in power in policy need to reach out to graduate students to explain to them what they are working on and what issues affect them,” Kumar said.

review of the review,” Treadway said.

SU convened the committee to determine whether gaps exist in the university’s current disability services and accessibility measures, said Masingila and Steven Bennett, senior vice president for academic operations, in a joint email statement.

HirePotential is evaluating SU’s accessibility compliance in terms of academics, facility infrastructure, service provision, campus culture, administrative structure and IT, Bennett and Masingila said. They said the firm’s consultants are assessing the services offered by several university departments, including the Office of Disability Services; the Office of Equal Opportunity, Inclusion and Resolution Services; and Information Technology Services.

Paula Possenti-Perez, director of ODS and a committee member, said the consultants have surveyed students, faculty and staff, seeking as much feedback as possible.

“There was a tremendous amount of intentionality to get the students’ lived experiences at all aspects, so it’s not just in the classroom, but in living and moving about campus,” she said. from page 1

local returned to the city in the form of food, lodging and leisure spending.

Syracuse had a $3.2 million decrease in its business activities net position, according to city financial statements published in June 2018. The Building Local initiative hopes to boost the economy by increasing spending on local businesses, González said.

“When we listen to the statistics about our city, I think it is our responsibility to do what we can to turn those statistics around,” González said. “For every dollar we spend in this community that generates four to seven more dollars in the local economy, just (the buying) part of our strategy.”

The money generated by incorporating more local businesses into SU will cause money to filter into the city and the surrounding areas, Gallipeau said. She hopes

Eddie Zaremba, a third year law student, said it was difficult to provide specifics on how SU can improve disability accessibility and services, but it also said time and people’s needs change.

The university has become more focused on veteran populations, which carries the cultural and assumed identities of disability, he said.

Disability services traces back to the student experience, Zaremba said.

“If you’re a student and you come here, do you feel like you’re going to get all the tools that you need to succeed?” he said. “Are you going to get your accommodations?”

After HirePotential completes its review of SU’s disability services and accessibility compliance, the committee will choose which of the firm’s recommended changes the university should prioritize in the future, Bennett and Masingila said. The committee will deliver suggestions to the university administration about how these recommended changes should be implemented at SU. HirePotential provided an update on its findings to the review committee in August and revealed several observations that the firm has determined to be noteworthy so far.

Bennett and Masinglia said HirePotential found that SU is “well positioned” to address that this will cause more central New York residents to find employment opportunities at the university and cause more SU students to stay in the area after they graduate.

“Our hope is that there is some potential for some of that graduating class to remain here, and as we work with these local vendors creating those opportunities it will spin that cycle,” Gallipeau said.

The Building Local initiative is already beginning to plan the 2020 Procurement Fair, which they hope will draw an even larger crowd of vendors like Mattessich Ironworks, Gallipeau said. She said she hopes 400 vendors attend next year’s fair.

The initiative has also begun to train various campus departments on diversifying spending and reducing barriers to provide more local vendors with opportunities.

“The proof is going to be in the pudding,” Gallipeau said. “We’ve got to make sure we deliver.” sabergan@syr.edu

families,” Haynie said. “As a consequence of that good work that we do on a professional scale, Syracuse University has really earned a lot of good will in that particular community.”

SU’s online master’s degree is beneficial for the sergeant majors at Fort Bliss because they are unable to be residential students, said Joanna Masingila, dean of the School of Education. The fellowship program is a catalyst for online education at SU, she added.

Frasciello and Masingila both said that establishing more online degree programs will allow more students to access the university’s educational offerings. University College and the School of Education are also planning to market the program to nonmilitary students.

“The IDD&E degree is market sensitive and prepares individuals across industries,” Frasciello said. “It makes sense for the School of Ed to target nonmilitary students.”

Haynie said these programs are important to SU’s strategy to target post-traditional students seeking a degree in a nonresidential way.

“What this partnership does is demonstrate an opportunity,” he said. “This opportunity sets the conditions for us to take degrees and expand them to both a residential and non-place-based delivery model, leveraging technology and online platform.”

The partnership is the first venture for the School of Education, but more programs are in the works, Masingila said.

Programs like the Fellowship help the university learn how to design and develop the infrastructure of online programs as well as make decisions about what degrees the university might want to bring online, Haynie said.

“It gives us flexibility, maybe a little more autonomy, as it relates to the future of the non-residential enterprises at the university,” he said.

anyone else in his RSO, the English Graduate Organization.

RSOs need constitutional infrastructure to demonstrate to GSO that its departments are a representative body, Hixon said. Some departments may have lost this information after lacking representation for several years. A terminal master’s program only holds students for 2 years before they graduate, which is not enough to develop institutional knowledge, he added.

“If the English Graduate Organization simply lapsed its existence for two years and a couple people graduated, there’s a good chance that there is no one with both the knowledge and desire necessary to reinvest us within the Senate,” Hixon said.

Mason said some graduate student governments at other universities require mandatory attendance for all graduate students on campus. While this increases turnout and ensures policies take all students into account, this would create uninterested and uninvolved members, he said.

Kumar said if everyone affected by GSO policy is involved in the Senate and makes their voices be heard, the body will be stronger and quicker in passing policy.

Graduates may be interested in specific changes on campus such as legal services, LGBT resources and women in parliamentary positions, Kumar said. But, being a voice in these changes requires committing time and accountability, which discourages many from participating, he added.

Graduate students who want to participate in the Senate also fear being judged by their advisors or department members, Kumar said.

“They will think this person is focusing on advocacy and politics rather than focusing on their work,” he said. “But they don’t realize that these activities are really important for faculty members as well as the department as well as the student.”

accessibility and inclusion, and the campus seems willing to address questions of accessibility and inclusion. The firm also determined that initiatives like the National Veterans Resource Center demonstrate SU’s commitment to reaching their best practice.

The last observation from HirePotential noted there is “something of (a) disconnect” between offices and administrators.

“In some areas there are unclear lines of accountability, lack of internal coordination, and a need, in some areas, for more well-articulated strategies,” Bennett and Masingla said.

The consultants called Keith Alford’s appointment as SU’s first chief diversity and inclusion officer in May “an excellent predicate to progress in accessibility.” HirePotential recommended that SU prioritize improving the physical accessibility of campus buildings and increasing the availability of accessible transportation, Bennett and Masingila said.

Treadway and former DSU President Priya Penner were the only undergraduate students selected to serve on the committee, but Penner is no longer on the committee, Treadway said.

Penner did not respond to a request for comment.

Treadway said more undergraduates should serve on the committee.

“I do not believe it is right for a single student to represent the entire undergraduate body on a University-wide committee,” he said.

SU published the results of a month-long external review of its Greek life in January.

The review began in the wake of the Theta Tau videos controversy, in April 2018. The university hired the organizational consulting firms NPower and Limberlost Consulting to conduct the external Greek life review. Consultants provided SU with 30 recommendations to improve six areas of SU’s Greek life.

Though the external review of disability services and accessibility has taken about half the time of the Greek life audit, Treadway said he understands and sympathizes with frustration around what seems like a lack of progress with the review. The university is investing significant time and funding to become a leading institution for people with disabilities, he said.

“I know that Chancellor Syverud and his administration care about us,” Treadway said.

“Even if the nature and status of that care and support for reform is not yet fully public, work is happening. Reform is being diligently pursued.” esfolts@syr.edu | @emmafolts gifollett@syr.edu | @gillian_follett

Colleges should do more to help students who are struggling financially

F

inancial stress can affect students just as much, if not more, than academic stress.

The cost of books and supplies, housing, transportation and tuition can take a toll on students’ mental health. Colleges and universities like Syracuse, and the people who work there, can and should do more to accommodate students with diverse financial backgrounds.

The 2019-20 tuition cost for students enrolled at Syracuse University after fall 2018 is $52,210.

That’s incredibly steep as tuition only covers students’ education.

The median household income in America was $61,822.00 in 2018.

SU does provide a number of resources to help students cope with financial stress. Orange Budget is an app that helps students manage their expenses, and the school also offers financial coaching from a team of Smart Money coaches.

But those services aren’t enough,

especially when many students aren’t even aware of every financial literacy initiative on campus.

Donald Dutkowsky, a professor of economics at SU’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, said he would love to see the university’s financial literacy initiatives advertised more in the first year experience.

“It’s all about trying to move students forward so that they can be more successful in their studies and ultimately more successful in life, and I think that’s an important component of all that training,” Dutkowsky said.

But tuition isn’t the only expense students are up against at Syracuse.

Luxury housing near SU is ridiculously expensive. The Marshall Syracuse, for example, charges $1,225 to $1,500 per month depending on the type of apartment. Rooms on campus can range from $3,460 to $6,070 per year.

THRIVING WHILE DYING Students like to make jokes about repaying their student loans and getting buried by debt, but financial stress is real and can be damaging.

Stress can be hard to define.

Cleveland Clinic, a nonprofit academic medical center, defines stress as “a normal reaction the body has when changes occur.” But in the modern financial landscape, stress is students hyperventilating after any bill arrives.

Stress can affect your social life and even small things like your ability to eat breakfast or buy a snack between classes during the day.

When students are just surviving rather than living, the college system has failed.

“I think financial stress often leads to academic stress,” said Maria Zhu, an assistant professor of economics in SU’s Maxwell School

SPD body cameras will improve accountability

T

he ethics of policing in America has been controversial since law enforcement’s inception. In the last decade there have been innumerable, high-profile cases of police brutality, almost exclusively against people of color.

The seeming SYDNEY omnipresGOLD ence of these WRITING FROM stories has THE LEFT incited ongoing national discussions about how to best prevent excessive use of force by police officers. One proposed solution to these issues was body-worn cameras.

Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh and Police Chief Kenton Buckner announced on August 29 that the Syracuse Police Department will be adding 110 body-worn cameras to their inventory. This addition will more than double the number of cameras the department possesses.

The department began a pilot program about a year ago, at which time they were given 100 cameras, and have been utilizing them since.

This is a move in the right direction. Body-worn cameras hold police officers accountable and improve public safety.

Body-worn cameras are relatively new technology, but current evidence suggests their efficacy is significant. Body-worn cameras have increased citizens’ trust of police officers, and have led to decreases in the use of excessive force and complaints of police misconduct. Officers who wear body cameras have also

benefited from easy-to-access objective and definitive evidence in a wide variety of cases.

“I think overall it’s a net good because it protects people,” said Todd Berger, an associate law professor at SU’s College of Law who specializes in criminal law and procedure. “It protects citizens in their interactions with police, but it also protects police officers in terms of helping to corroborate their version of events.”

The surge in popularity of bodyworn cameras has run parallel to the rise of social movements with a focus on police brutality.

Criminal justice reform has been one of the decade’s preeminent issues, and rightfully so. The abundance of cases of police misconduct indicate the need for structural change in policing, but a need for institutional change can run counter to individual desires.

First Deputy Police Chief Joseph Cecile said that the cameras were initially met with trepidation, but that officers warmed up to them during the department’s pilot program.

“Over the course of this pilot program, we are now having more officers that actually don’t have them are now asking for them,” Cecile said. “The apprehension has gone away and turned into a desire to actually have a body camera.”

Current data shows an overwhelming civilian support for equipping police officers with body-worn cameras. Research from the CATO Institute, a public policy research organization, shows 92% of people support for the cameras among Americans.

Over-policing in communities of color, primarily Black and Hispanic neighborhoods, is common across the nation, and body cameras have been a beneficial tool in mitigating potential abuses of power. In a racially diverse city like Syracuse, these steps can be wildly beneficial.

“When we went out to the community to show them the body cam and the limitations and also the pros, we went out to meetings all around the city so we engaged the public no matter what neighborhood they were in,” Cecile said. “We wanted everyone in the city to feel comfortable.”

While the police play an important role in communities, the ability to ensure their ethical conduct is a necessity. It’s imperative that police officers and departments exercise cultural sensitivity in the communities they serve, not merely by doing good, but by ensuring there are repercussions when they don’t.

If the police want to fulfil their mission to protect and serve, they must first take the necessary steps to ensure they are not the very people communities need protection from. These cameras are a crucial step law enforcement must take to protect themselves, to protect the communities they serve and most importantly, to begin the work of righting centuries of wrongs.

of Citizenship and Public Affairs.

“They’re so closely intertwined. I think financial stress puts a lot of pressure on students to graduate in a timely manner so they’re not spending more money or to have a good GPA and resume so that they can get a high paying job. I kind of see it as all these interrelated stresses, so I think it’s important that universities tackle all aspects of it.”

A community of low income students that attend the University of Georgia found relief by creating a “Being-not-rich” guide that provides financial resources for students. The guide lists lower rent options for housing, advice on how to maintain a healthy social life and tips on transportation around campus. Student-led initiatives like this are great, but they should be coming from universities rather than struggling students left with no other options.

And those changes don’t neces-

sarily have to come exclusively from university administrations. Professors can also help students who are financially struggling by being more accommodating and understanding of difficult economic circumstances.

Zhu and Dutkowsky both said they consider the cost of textbooks and student engagement platforms like Top Hat when planning and instructing their courses.

We have to stop viewing finances as detached from the overall student experience.

Colleges have a responsibility to provide students with resources to help with their finances just as they do with their academics. They need to start taking that responsibility more seriously.

Politics should not be a factor when hiring faculty

D

ear Editor, At the September meeting of the University Senate, Chancellor Kent Syverud suggested in a somewhat vague but nonetheless rhetorically pointed speech that the university’s faculty — and/ or perhaps the faculty of certain departments, he did not say which — were too “ideologically uniform.”

Citing polarization around the upcoming election and the university’s need to hire “hundreds of new faculty,” he said he wanted to “get something done on this now, this semester.” He said he had members of the board who support him.

Chancellor Syverud, given the current political climate and the ongoing assaults on science, rational thought, academic freedom and higher education in general from the Trump administration, how are we to interpret your comments? What specific positions or viewpoints do you feel are missing at SU, and in what departments?

Do you wish, as many on the right would, to hire climate deniers, apologists for white supremacy and advocates for American and Judeo-Christian exceptionalism, all in the name of “exposing students to a true range of views?” I very much hope not, and yet that is how many will interpret what you have said.

It is true that there can be, in certain circles on the left a pressure

toward a kind of conformity, particularly in an age when one’s stances are often publicly available on social media. There can be this conformity on the right, though I presume your complaint is with the left and that you are not in fact taking issue with, say, a possible scarcity of socialists in the Whitman School. But I suspect you underestimate the diversity of opinions that exist within the existing faculty, not all of which falls neatly along the left-right axis as currently defined.

In any case, the way forward should not be to hire faculty based on their political affiliations in an attempt to achieve some sort of imagined balance, or out of some ill-advised bothsides-ism, which would only serve to diminish the university’s intellectual and academic integrity.

Rather, we need to do that which you called for in the main part of your address: to stand firmly for the freedom of speech on campus and for the rights of all those with well-considered, genuinely held views to express them. As for prospective faculty, let them be measured by their teaching ability and academic/intellectual rigor, not their politics.

SHARED EXPERIENCE

A former international student, Juan Tavares uses his experience to help others

By Mandy Kraynak asst. copy editor

L

ooking for an opportunity to both swim competitively and continue his studies after high school, Juan Tavares decided to attend Michigan State University. But this decision meant leaving his home in the Dominican Republic.

Once an international student, now, Tavares is the new director of the Lillian and Emanuel Slutzker Center for International Services. He began his role at Syracuse University in July and since then, he has worked directly with international students.

He said he understands traveling thousands of miles away to study in a different country.

I went through all the issues that international students went through director for slutzker center

“I went through all the issues that international students went through: applying for a visa, getting on a plane and coming really far. And being away from home and parents and your culture, your food,” Tavares said. “So I really identify with them.”

Tavares said he has worked with students throughout his entire career — even before he began working in international education. He added that he’s had the opportunity to connect with students in every field he has worked in.

Jamie Leonard who is the office and administrative specialist for international student services at Southwest Minnesota State University, worked with Tavares for about nine months at SMSU. She said that Tavares is a warm and genuine person with a calm, even-tempered personality.

Leonard also noted Tavares’ passion for supporting

SLICE OF LIFE

VPA, Newhouse to host panel about body image issues

By Allison Weis

asst. feature editor

Around the time that “A Chorus Line” came out, Harriet Brown — a magazine, news and digital journalism professor at Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications — went to Weight Watchers with her mother and lost 20 pounds. That weight was significant enough to be completely life changing for her as a teenager, she said.

“Everything changed in terms of opportunities that opened up to me,” said Brown. “It was a huge deal, which is very upsetting to me now and look back on that, but that’s how it was.”

As Ralph Zito — professor and

chair of the department of drama at SU’s College of Visual and Performing Art — said, sometimes theater and media need a critical eye.

That’s what SU’s drama department Sunday Salon Series is aiming to do with their “Body Image: Healthily Managing the Personal, Professional and Societal Pressures Discussion and Q+A.” The panel will start on Oct. 6 at 4:30 p.m. in the Syracuse Stage’s Storch Theatre.

Zito curated a panel of relevant speakers to speak about body image in conjunction with the SU Drama’s production, “A Chorus Line.” The panel includes professors, a nutritionist and people who have worked the theater industry.

While “A Chorus Line” is a brilliant piece of musical theater, Zito

said, there are ways it reflects the time in which it was written. He wanted to open a conversation to investigate some of the assumptions that operate for the characters in the play.

Brown said that in the 1970s, there was little conversation around body image. She said there was a very rigid idea of beauty and people had to meet those norms.

“It never even crossed my mind as a kid that maybe it could be okay to have a body that didn’t conform to those sort of norms,” Brown said.

Brown added if you simply present a show like “A Chorus Line,” it can seem like endorsing the messages in the work, which may need to be contextualized.

A scene that Zito specifically noted as needed critical analysis

is the number “Dance: Ten, Looks: Three” in which a woman sings about having cosmetic surgery in order to be able to be employable.

Zito said that we’re currently in a time when attitudes around these issues are beginning to shift broadly, but added they’re not shifting quickly or widely enough.

Andrea Leigh-Smith, a professor in the department of drama and panelist, said in an email that the negative pressures of weight are still prevalent in the dance world, adding that the aesthetic in ballet is “thin.”

“The media is beginning to include different shapes and images in advertising but many in the industry still struggle due to the fact that the world still embraces those that are thin above the stereotypical

healthy person,” Leigh-Smith said.

Leigh-Smith said that especially for dancers, the day-to-day of living and looking into a mirror and watching yourself dance with scant clothing can create a harsh judgement of self, compared to others.

Zito said that these issues affect all people, not just those in the entertainment industry. He said he is positioning the talk to be enlightening for the entire campus, not just those in the department of drama.

“I hope that we’ll be able to provide some information about available university — and broader — resources for people who might be struggling and give them some strategies for coping and moving to success,” Zito said. @_allisonw | alweis@syr.edu

slutzker international students, adding that he was respected by the student body.

“He was always willing to help (international students) with any problems and talk them through any issues that they were having,” she said.

Kim Cho, international admissions counselor at Western Michigan University, worked closely with Tavares for 10 years. She said that Tavares’ ability to interact with students stood out to her.

Cho added she thinks Tavares’ experience as an international student allowed him to relate to international students.

Tavares said he enjoyed seeing how SU supported international students during their orientation that took place a week before orientation for first-year and transfer students.

He has worked in the higher education field since 1988, starting out in recreation management before switching to admissions and finally to international education.

One way Tavares is creating more transparency is by reserving Friday as a day for students to meet with him. He said he hopes to increase the number of programs and services available for international students, specifically graduate students. He also wants to add more off-campus work opportunities for international students and plans to encourage them to apply for summer internships.

Tavares said he has traveled to nearly 60 countries, and that most was after he started working in international education, including for recruitment.

He emphasized that he is not the only person who is passionate about supporting international students in the SU community, saying he’s part of a 12-person team.

To Leonard, Tavares’ advocacy for international students has been a priority for him since she has known him.

“He was very respectful of students from all cultures,” Leonard said, “and I think that was one of the things that he was most respected for.” ackrayna@syr.edu

VINTAGE, BUT

FASHION

SU students upcycle designer clothing for pop-up event

SU seniors Jordan Zwang and Jakob Kaplan organized the event, “A Fall Collection hosted by What Goes Around Comes Around,” which will display vintage clothing for students to buy. The duo will also introduce their own clothing brand, Code of Silence. courtesy of ben langer

By Kyle Henderson contributing writer

F

aded Levi’s, classic rock-and-roll apparel and strawberry-patterned pants, will all be for the taking of fashion fiends in a Syracuse University student’s apartment.

The two-day event, a fall collection hosted by “What Goes Around Comes Around” will be held on Oct. 9 and 11 at 1205 Harrison St. The event is being organized by two SU seniors, Jakob Kaplan and Jordan Zwang.

WGACA is a vintage retail store that was founded in 1993 by SU alumni Gerard Maione and Seth Weisser. The store has since expanded to six locations including Soho, Miami and Beverly Hills.

The current students’ involvement with WGACA traces back about 30 years ago when Kaplan’s father befriended Gerard Maione, one of the company’s founders, during their time at SU. The two were brothers of the Delta Upsilon fraternity in Syracuse and have maintained that relationship since. Kaplan said Maione is like an uncle to him and they often see one another at family gatherings.

During one family event, Kaplan asked Maione about becoming part of his business. When the vintage curator agreed, both Zwang and Kaplan quickly worked to a pitch a concept for Maione.

“For the next few days, we had been working on a business plan,” said Zwang. “He told us to send him

something legitimate, something that we wanted to do. ... We worked on that for the next few days, sent it to him, and within the next 48 hours, he told us to come to the warehouse.”

During the curation process, Zwang and Kaplan hand selected each piece at the WGACA warehouse based in New Jersey. Zwang said the two kept students’ budgets in mind. They chose pieces that would attract students and avoid selling solely brands like Louis Vuitton that could be too expensive for some students. One go-to item they gravitated toward was vintage Levi’s from the ’60s, Zwang said.

“We just dove into the racks and hand selected the pieces that we thought would be best for Syracuse students to purchase,” Zwang said.

The pair said they would both describe their style as “ever-changing” and added they wear what no one else is wearing. Kaplan’s favorite designers include Virgil Abloh and Ricardo Tisci. Zwang said he admired designers like Kim Jones, who worked on the Louis Vuitton and Supreme clothing collection, among others — particularly smaller-name designers like Daf Orlovsky.

Along with working with other brands and clothing, the two are also working toward creating their own clothing brand, Code of Silence — a name based off TV show “The Sopranos.” The idea was born when the two met during their time abroad in London and were influenced by European style.

But it was in Amsterdam when the two realized

they wanted their brand to be eco-conscious. After finding out that it takes 270 gallons to create one T-shirt, Kaplan said, the two made sure to find clothing they can upcycle along with curating their own vintage clothing. The brand will also be featured at the event.

“We upcycle, meaning that you just repurpose vintage clothing. Rather than get rid of it, we just keep using it,” Zwang said. “The best vintage pieces we found were in Amsterdam.”

The duo plan on dividing the store by sections, including a sport section featuring ‘90s Celtics wear and a high fashion section that includes designers such as Louis Vuitton, Takashi Murakami and Comme des Garçon. Some clothing that will be featured at the event has been worn or sold before, Kaplan said.

The event will also include two DJs, who are friends of the two shop-runners. DJ Noah Rosenberg said seeing the passion that both Kaplan and Zwang share for the project has inspired him.

Kaplan said the two want the event to have a party vibe rather than being labeled as a pop-up shop, with Zwang adding what they ultimately want to do is create a space for the fashion community.

“We’re bringing together people who like music, and we’re trying to build this community,” Zwang said, “because there’s never really been anything like this at Syracuse since we’ve been here.” kjhender@syr.edu

Dominic Hockenbury stepping up after shaky sophomore year

By Eli Jajour staff writer

Dominic Hockenbury lined up at the starting position of the Coast-to-Coast Battle in Beantown in September 2017 for his first race.

After a year of preparation and practice as a redshirt, Hockenbury was eager for his first chance at the Orange’s first major event.

When the race started, Hockenbury was poised to sprint out of the start as he did in all of his races in high school, grabbing a lead and wrapping things up early. In high school, he’d look back and admire his lead he’d become so accustomed to having. But that was then.

Halfway through his turn, he was in line with a swarm of non-orange jerseys right alongside him. Hockenbury ended the 8-kilometer in 19th place, an accomplishment for a rookie.

“For me, the races were over in the first half mile, if that, and I would be winning by over a minute. And in college you can’t do that because everybody is the same way and they can run with you,” Hockenbury said. from page 12

colgate Field. The Orange couldn’t capitalize on numerous opportunities later in the game, but a strong defensive performance and the desire to get forward was enough to limit the Raiders’ chances en route to SU’s second shutout of 2019.

Following Ferrin’s opening score, Syracuse continued to dominate. The next 25 minutes saw SU ring off three shots and constantly put the ball in dangerous areas. Midfielders Ryan Raposo, Hilli Goldhar and Julio Fulcar drove at back-tracking Colgate defenders and sent through balls to Ferrin, looking to pit the striker one-on-one with Harris again.

Ferrin came close to tabbing his second goal during that stretch, but Harris’ precise timing off his line denied him. Just minutes after his opener, he was barely beaten by the Colgate goalkeeper off a lobbed through ball from Raposo. Fulcar then slid the Mississauga, Ontario native through on the right side of the penalty area, but Harris was quickest again. Despite Ferrin resorting to the bench from page 12

corners and winning Syracuse the game.

Before Syracuse’s win on Sunday, Bradley said the team adjusted on their previously “sloppy” penalty corners by watching film.

The team typically does most of their film review on their own time, but Syracuse had a team-wide video session to workshop penalty corners last Saturday to “clean some of those things up,” Bradley said. from page 12

defense McDonald dropped off, so Morrison fired a weak ground shot that turned into a routine save for goalkeeper Christian Miesch.

Syracuse pressed high and dominated most of the chances in the first half, enabling the Orange’s defense to play a higher line. When the Raiders tried to hit balls over the top, they were unable to connect and link up.

“Those guys today were monsters in the back,” Ferrin said. “It ignites our attack ... If we’re not winning those balls in the air, it can make for a long game.”

Before Tuesday’s game, McIntyre knew Norheim wouldn’t be in the starting lineup.

He’s been battling an undisclosed injury for much of the season and McIntyre has called him a “warrior” on multiple occasions.

This season, Syracuse’s backline has been inconsistent. Some games, the Orange hold opponents to shut outs, others they fall apart.

McIntyre asked the junior if he could provide 15 minutes of defending off the bench if the Orange were in a close game.

McIntyre said that Norheim told him he could provide the aerial presence, even if he couldn’t go the full 90.

With 19 minutes to go, Norheim entered the game for freshman Noah Singelmann, a

“So, it wasn’t just a half mile, it was a full 8K race. You are not always in the lead. You might be 20-50 spots back.”

His first race and first full year were successes, but he couldn’t find those same times and results again last year as a sophomore.

Now, head coach Brien Bell expects Hockenbury, a junior, to step up and help rescue a program that has seen declining results in the past few seasons and lost the ACC Championships last year.

“The hardest thing about our sport is consistency,” senior Aidan Tooker said. “We had a shift in leadership. There were three really strong core guys who left. With (Hockenbury), I can tell there has been a really big shift from last year.”

A two-time Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association 2A Cross Country champion at Lake Lehman, Hockenbury was brought in to be a future cornerstone of the Orange in 2016, following the Syracuse men’s second national title the season prior.

He was just one of a new wave of runners taking over from SU’s most storied class in

history and impressed early on.

Boston was his springboard which led to success at the ACC Championships and again at NCAA regionals. He placed 20th and 11th, respectively at the latter two events, and following those breakout races, Hockenbury surpassed expectations. He placed well ahead of more experienced runners on the team and was a mainstay in Syracuse’s lineup. Hockenbury was awarded All-ACC honors and was on an upward trajectory.

“Running at the conference meet and being All-ACC and that kind of like proved to myself that I could run with the big guys and I could compete with everybody here just like the older guys on the team,” Hockenbury said.

“From there, I really built confidence.”

Yet at NCAA Championships that year, Hockenbury finished 25 seconds behind the departing senior Justyn Knight. After a summer to rest and build on his freshman season, Hockenbury finished lower at every major event other than Northeast Regionals and again struggled at NCAA Championships, this

time finishing 223rd. Hockenbury would not earn All-ACC honors as he did the year prior and struggled to find answers.

“I would say both years at Nationals were a lot less than I had hoped for,” Hockenbury said.

This past summer, Hockenbury said he put a newfound energy into maintaining his body. He said he knows that he is responsible for his performances and is holding himself to a higher standard in his redshirt junior year.

“I don’t think anyone is holding each other accountable because we all hold ourselves accountable,” Tooker said. “We do aim to be if not the best program in the conference, one of the best in the country. I think that kind of comes out of yourself first.”

After losing their top spot in the ACC in 2018, the Orange are depending on improvement across the board, especially from Hockenbury.

“Am I expecting a better performance?”

Bell asked. “Is he expecting a better performance? Is the team expecting a better performance?… yes.”

for the final 15 minutes of the first half, Syracuse maintained its unwavering pressure on the Raiders’ defense.

“We definitely felt like we deserved a second, that would have killed the game off a little more,” Ferrin said. “It was just that last pass or a good save from the goalkeeper. We should have had at least one more.”

Raposo and Noah Singelmann, the hero in SU’s overtime bout against Cornell a week prior, became the Orange’s primary attacking threats. No matter how clear-cut the scoring

chance, however, Syracuse was second best to Harris. The Brookline, Massachusetts native made three stellar stops in the final 15 minutes of the first half.

First, Harris’ leg save pushed the ball inches wide of the right post, keeping defender Matt Orr from tallying his first goal for SU. Singelmann advanced into a similar position on the right side of the penalty area soon after but his effort was swatted away by Harris’ outstretched right arm. Six minutes later, Raposo lost his defender with a flawless turn and aimed toward the bottom left corner, only to be met by a diving Harris.

“Their goalie pulled off a couple of great saves,” McIntyre said. “It kept them alive.”

While the Raiders’ backline tamed the Orange’s attack in the second half, the home team began to move forward more frequently.

Syracuse’s plentiful options in the attack meant sparse numbers in defense, a deficiency Colgate tried to capitalize on through counter-attacks and long balls. The center back pairing of Nyal Higgins and Dylan McDonald consistently got to the ball first and cleared them away.

“It’s all about communicating and we did that really well,” Higgins said. “When you’re up a goal, the idea is to just defend, defend, defend.”

The Raiders finished with seven shots, the second-fewest Syracuse has allowed this season, even though SU’s second-half performance wasn’t nearly as prolific as in the first. The visitors managed five more shots, none of which required saving by Harris. Much of the period, particularly the final 15 minutes, was spent in SU’s defensive half. The Orange’s defensive unit was forced to clear several long throw-ins and two late corner kicks.

Although Syracuse’s second-half showing left something to be desired, McIntyre commended the Orange’s ability to hold a lead for 89 minutes, he said. While SU believed it should have added more goals, the Orange left Hamilton with two accomplishments that are hard to come by, according to McIntyre: an away win and a clean sheet.

“We’ll take any way of scoring we can. It was terrific to get on the front foot,” McIntyre said. “We just about got over the line.”

Early in the season, Quigley, de Vries and junior Carolin Hoffmann each acted as inserters. But now, Quigley has become Syracuse’s go-to. When Quigley inserts the ball into play on a corner, she keeps a low center of gravity and slides her stick across the turf, sweeping the ball smoothly so it stays calm. A bouncing pass makes the stopper’s job much more difficult.

During a 0-for-11 corner stretch against Cornell, Quigley was the primary initiator, but Graziosi struggled as the stopper,

often misplaying Quigley’s entry passes.

After the loss, Bradley said that SU needed to “get consistency” on corners. Since then, Queen has rotated with Graziosi — both midfielders — as the stopper.

As Quigley, Queen and Graziosi have developed a rhythm, SU has been able to introduce some creativity and set up plays for their strongest shooters: Hoffmann and de Vries. In the third quarter against Colgate, Quigley inserted it to Queen, who settled it to Graziosi. With the ball,

Graziosi faked a shot and let the ball roll to midfielder Stephanie Harris for an open shot on net. Though her shot went wide, the play was indicative of Syracuse’s increasing variation on corners.

“Penalty corners have to be really technical and you need to have good timing,” midfielder Claire Cooke said. “It has to be so precise.”

We like to play a high-pressure game all the time.

Especially in the first minute, the legs are fresh.

Massimo Ferrin su striker

defensive switch that enabled the Orange to better counteract Colgate’s dangerous long throw-ins and direct long balls. Defender John Austin-Ricks also replaced midfielder Hilli Goldhar as the focus switched away from scoring a second goal and toward securing the 1-0 win.

“He’s probably our most aggressive player in the air,” McIntyre said of Norheim. “We’re not the biggest team in the world and he gave us a little bit of height.”

Higgins tracked Colgate’s 6-foot-3 defender Christian Clarke on set pieces, while fellow center back Dylan McDonald was responsible for roaming the center of the box and clearing everything away.

The Raiders generated multiple halfchances off of these long throws, but either Miesch was able to claim the ball or the Orange cleared the ball out of danger. In total, Colgate mustered just seven shots, three on goal.

Syracuse turned to stall tactics — trapping balls near the corner flags and delaying before free kicks — as precious seconds ticked off the clock. One long throw-in produced a diving header that was headed to goal, until Higgins deflected it out for a corner.

“I thought Simon Triantafillou, Dylan, Nyal, Matt Orr, all did a good job of fighting and scrapping,” McIntyre said. “It was ugly at times.”

Massimo Ferrin’s goal 68 seconds in leads Syracuse to 1-0 victory over Colgate

By David Schneidman staff writer

AMILTON — All season, Syracuse head coach Ian McIntyre has demanded his players put pressure on the opposing midfield when SU doesn’t have possession. The Orange’s constant running and intensity has not been enough to shake defenses, though — they hadn’t snatched a goal directly off a defensive error all season.

In the opening minute of Tuesday night’s match at Colgate, it wasn’t a conscious error that rewarded SU for its pressure. Rather, it was a stroke of luck. Raiders’ defender Dominic Galietta gathered the ball, turned and slipped. The ball fell directly in Massimo Ferrin’s path and the SU striker made no mistake in a one-on-one with Colgate goalkeeper Jacob Harris. Ferrin took his time as he approached the net and calmly passed the ball beyond the lunging left leg of Harris for his

third goal of the season.

“It was early in the game, we wanted to get pressure on the ball,” Ferrin said. “We like to play a high-pressure game all the time. Especially in the first minute, the legs are fresh.”

Ferrin’s swift reaction was the difference as Syracuse (3-2-3, 0-1-1 Atlantic Coast) gained its first away win of the season against Colgate (1-2-5, 0-0-1 Patriot), 1-0, on a clear Tuesday night at Beyer-Small ‘76 see colgate page 10

Syracuse has found ‘clean’ penalty corner option

By Danny Emerman asst. sports editor

Sophomore midfielder SJ Quigley leapt through the air and yelled.

She had just initiated Syracuse’s second penalty corner goal of the game by inserting a clean pass that became a Charlotte de Vries score.

De Vries’ score against Colgate capped off arguably the peak of Syracuse’s penalty corner success this season. Throughout the season, SU has experimented with different inserters, stoppers and shooters to mixed success.

Last Sunday, the Orange scored on two of their six penalty corner chances, matching a season-high in goals off corners. But stretches of inconsistency — like

a 2-for-25 stretch after its first game of the year — have plagued Syracuse’s success.

After weeks of tinkering with personnel and stylistic options on penalty corners, head coach Ange Bradley and Syracuse (6-2, 0-1 Atlantic Coast) may have found a solution for its penalty corners entering its biggest test of the season so far against No. 2 Duke on Friday. The Orange have had the most success when Quigley inserts the ball, and either Laura Graziosi or Tess Queen stops it to make a play for themselves or a teammate, like de Vries. With a more refined penalty corner strategy, SU has a better shot at turning the games it has “statistically dominated,” as Bradley likes to say, into victories.

“Little things make big things for or against you,” Bradley said of SU’s previous penalty corner struggles.

Teams earn penalty corners — often the best scoring chances — by drawing a foul inside the shooting circle, and after a whistle, the clock stops as the defending team puts on goggles for protection and lines up on their goal line. The offensive players simultaneously line up along the edge of the shooting circle and await an entry pass from the end line.

For the Orange, an inability to convert on corners has plagued them at times in 2019. In total, SU has scored 12 goals on 53 penalty corner chances (22.6%).

In the past, Syracuse leaned

on three-time All-American back Roos Weers to finish penalty corner plays. Her powerful drag flick gave SU a consistent, effective option. But now that Weers has graduated, the Orange have had to “find different ways to put the ball in the net,” Graziosi said.

In addition to settling the ball to a shooter, Syracuse has mixed in plays where the stopper pops out of her crouch and shoots directly. In overtime against then-No. 14 Saint Joseph’s on Sept. 13, Graziosi did just that.

After stopping the insert, Graziosi read that the defense converged on de Vries and other shooting options, so she launched a shot on net, catching the defense off guard see corners page 10

HAMILTON — When Nyal Higgins and the Syracuse defense is protecting a lead, Higgins says he doesn’t think of how much total time is left. Instead, Higgins shouts out every five minutes, not how much time is remaining, but that another five has passed.

Higgins is in his first season with SU, he transferred from Oakland and he described himself and freshman Dylan McDonald as the “newbies” with the Orange. Higgins kept the Orange’s defense organized and made sure they focused on just five minutes.

“I just let the team know where we should be defending to keep the team organized every five minutes,” Higgins said. “We just completed five more minutes, instead of thinking about how we have 40-45 minutes.”

Those guys today were monsters in the back... It ignites our attack.

Massimo Ferrin su striker

The Orange scored in the opening 90 seconds on Tuesday night against Colgate on a Massimo Ferrin goal. The onus then turned to SU’s defense to protect the 1-0 lead, something SU has struggled with all season. When Syracuse led 1-0 vs. Yale and 2-0 against New Hampshire, the Orange were pegged back and settled for ties both times.

For the first time all season, Syracuse (3-2-3, 0-1-1 Atlantic Coast) grabbed the first goal and saw its defense maintain it, this time for 89 minutes in a 1-0 win over Colgate (1-3-4, 0-0-1 Patriot) at BeyerSmall ‘76 Field.

Syracuse’s backline, sans veteran defender Sondre Norheim for most of the game, turned in what Higgins called the Orange’s best defensive performance of the season so far. Colgate muddied up the game the entire second half and outplayed the Orange for spells as it won second balls in the midfield and pushed numbers forward. But SU never broke.

“It became very disruptive second half, it got very ugly,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said. “If you sit off a team like Colgate, it becomes that you’re encouraging that additional pressure and encouraging those long balls.”

The Orange didn’t face their first shot of the game until the 20th minute, when midfielder Kentaro Morrison picked up the ball in the midfield and ran at the center of the Orange’s backline. Higgins and see defense page 10
