Syverud responds to Boeheim

By Michael Burke news editor

Syracuse University Chancellor Kent Syverud said he had no problem with Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim saying last month that Syverud made a mistake in publicly announcing Boeheim’s retirement plans in 2015.

In an email to the campus community in March 2015, Syverud said that Boeheim planned to retire at the end of the 2017-18 season. The announcement was made shortly after the basketball program was dealt sanctions as a result of multiple NCAA violations committed by SU Athletics, including “(Boeheim’s) failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance.”

Last month, though, the university extended Boeheim’s contract past the 2017-18 season. In a press conference after the extension was announced, Boeheim said he “did not

Candidates to visit campus

By Satoshi Sugiyama asst. news editor

Three finalists for the Martin J. Whitman School of Management dean position will be visiting Syracuse University this week and participating in open forums with students.

The candidates will be on campus for interviews and presentations.

The candidates will participate in the open forum Monday through Thursday, with a new candidate each day.

One of the finalists, Rajiv Dewan, professor of computers and information systems at the University of Rochester’s Simon Business School, will take part in Monday’s student forum from 1:45 to 2:30 p.m. at Milton Room inside the Whitman building.

The other two candidates, whom the university has not yet announced, will be participating in students forums later this week — one on Tuesday from 3:45 to 4:15 at Milton Room and another on Thursday from 1:15 to 2:00 p.m. at Whitman room 402. Candidate profiles will be sent to students about 24 hours prior to a candidate’s visit, according to an email sent from Whitman dean’s office to Whitman students. Students will be subsequently getting a survey

Junior cofounded, markets tech startup

By Rachel Gilbert

development editor

In the summer after her sophomore year at Syracuse University, Lauren Renz moved to Rome to au pair for the Italian monarchy. She didn’t tell her mother until three days before the move.

Now Renz is working on a big project that could move her to Germany — she still hasn’t told her mother.

Renz, a junior advertising major, is working on a tech startup that creates “creative code,” which is essentially an artificial intelligence computer code that knows near infinite answers to questions and adapts with usage. Renz is a co-founder of Entity Power, and is working on marketing the product.

“It takes a lot of tact to introduce something that has a lot of negative emotions attached to it,” Renz said.

“Hollywood does a great job of scaring everyone that AI is the worst, but if used in the right format, it could be the best thing for humanity.”

Most of Renz’s job involves copy writing for videos and advertisements. Renz published a book when she was in high school. “Kick It” details the story of a student and how she negotiates high school and her soccer team.

Although the story is not autobiographical, Renz loves sports.

Her mother taught her to play tennis at a young age, and she still pursues the sport while at SU. On a drizzly Friday, Renz sat

in a corner of Pages Cafe in Bird Library working on a story board for Entity Power. She was dressed in her tennis clothes — she had to dash off to a match shortly after.

Renz takes a tennis class at SU. She is the only girl among 16 men. She said the group is very competitive — many of the men play United States Tennis Association-level tennis.

Tennis acted as a way for Renz to make friends, and she used to carry her racket with her to class as a conversation starter. She met one of her best friends when they spotted her bag and asked her if she plays.

Renz loves tennis, but creative writing and copy writing for advertising is her passion. She is interning in Manhattan with Wunderman this summer and may move to Germany with Entity Power after graduation. She said she is not usually one to stick to traditional paths.

“This team, you know the gut feeling when you say, ‘I know this is right,” Renz said. “It doesn’t come along often, and I know it with these guys.”

Although she has only been onboard with the project for two weeks, Renz is already powering through and working around the clock. One of the biggest challenges, she said, is explaining to her friends why she is never around anymore.

“No one knows what you’re doing, and you’re never there, ever,” Renz said. “Your friends are constantly mad at you but you’re like, ‘Hey, I’m trying to change the world.’” rcgilber@syr.edu

Diversity committee to promote inclusion

By Jordan Muller staff writer

The Student Association has created a committee tasked with promoting inclusion and advocating for underrepresented groups on the Syracuse University campus.

After weeks of deliberation, the assembly unanimously approved the establishment of the Diversity Affairs and Inclusion Committee at its April 17 meeting, and the committee will begin work next week. The committee — SA’s fifth permanent standing committee — addresses underrepresented identities in terms of race, ethnicity, ability, gender and sexual identity, said Marcus Lane, an assembly member who co-authored

the bill creating the new committee.

Lane said he hopes the DAIC will promote unity between different identities within the student body.

“I think it will be the only space where student leaders of marginalized identities can actually discuss and collaborate with each other,” Lane said.

The idea behind the committee is to institutionalize communication between student leaders, particularly of underrepresented groups, Lane said. The committee will listen to the concerns voiced by student leaders to create initiatives that promote diversity and inclusion on campus.

In the past, collaboration between student leaders hasn’t happened, Lane said. He added that the new

committee will help bridge the communication gap between SA and recognized student organizations.

During this legislative session, SA has placed an increased emphasis on events and legislation that helps SA connect and advocate for underrepresented groups at SU. In February, SA organized a free bus trip to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. The organization also added two adaptive cycles to the bike share program, relaunched on April 4, to help make the program more accessible to students with disabilities. Last week, the assembly unanimously passed the accommodations clause bill, which requires RSOs to display on event posters the contact informa-

tion of officials whom attendees with disabilities could reach if they need special accommodations.

Diasia Robinson, a junior international relations major, was appointed to the cabinet as SA’s first director of diversity affairs in August 2016. She said the DAIC will continue to organize events like the trip to the African-American history museum, Diversity Week and the Arts Inclusivity Festival.

“There will be a collection of people who will dig in and make these things happen faster so that more things can be done,” Robinson said.

Robinson added that when she took on the diversity affairs director position, she was the only person

News briefs: What you missed this weekend

By Sam Ogozalek asst. news editor

Here are some Syracuse news stories and announcements you may have missed this weekend:

Report: Resident forcibly touched women on campus

A Syracuse man has been charged for unlawfully entering a Syracuse University dorm and forcibly touching a woman there, according to Syracuse.com.

Dennis Smalley Jr. was in court Friday to ask for lower bail regarding the incident, but a city court judge kept the bail as it had originally been set at $25,000 or $50,000 bond, per Syracuse.com.

Smalley was arrested in April

after the Department of Public Safety and Syracuse Police Department’s Abused Persons Unit identified him as the suspect in a “suspicious man” incident that occurred on SU’s campus. Smalley is accused of approaching several women on campus and asking them a number of questions that made them uncomfortable.

Smalley is also accused of touching another woman on SU’s campus, per Syracuse.com.

The Syracuse resident was charged with burglary in the second degree, criminal trespassing in the second degree and two counts of forcible touching following his arrest earlier this month. He is currently being held at the Onondaga County Justice Center.

Bail set for man accused of murdering SU student

Bail was set on Friday for Cameron Isaac, 24, the man accused of killing a Syracuse University international student in DeWitt last year.

State Supreme Court Justice John Brunetti set Isaac’s bail at $250,000 cash or $500,000 bond, according to Syracuse.com.

Isaac is accused of luring SU student Xiaopeng “Pippen” Yuan to Springfield Garden Apartments last September, promising to conduct a drug deal. Yuan wanted to sell Isaac marijuana, per Syracuse.com.

At the drug deal, Isaac robbed Yuan and then shot and killed him. Cell phone records prove that Isaac committed the robbery,

prosecutor Michael Kasmarek said Friday, according to Syracuse.com.

Isaac, along with Ninimbe Mitchell, 20, was arrested in November and charged with murder in the second degree, robbery in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree in relation to Xiaopeng “Pippen” Yuan’s death. He faces those charges in Onondaga County Court.

Isaac was indicted earlier this year on a first-degree murder charge, upgraded from the original seconddegree charge. Isaac also received the tampering charge in early December because he asked a witness not to testify against him in the murder case, according to authorities. Isaac see news

Before the announcement, Rossi was aware that his campaign faced an uphill battle. Contrary to Franco, Rossi did not hold a party with supporters. He chose to spend election night quietly sitting on a gray sofa in a lounge on the third floor of Skyhall II, with his running mate beside him. Rossi described himself as an “underdog” and said if the media hadn’t contacted him, he would have been in bed.

When he got his phone call, Rossi’s somber facial expression changed little. He

leaned forward from the sofa, briefly tilted his head to the right and said, “That is fine, thank you,” after learning the results.

“Congrats to Angie and James. They earned it,” Rossi said. “We were ready for any results that came. … I feel like we did a good job, it was just that it wasn’t enough."

Franco and Rossi sparred during a presidential debate held earlier this month, clashing over the “sanctuary campus” issue and their respective vice presidential candidates.

“I think the first debate hurt us,” Rossi said ibefore the result was announced.

Reflecting on his comments regarding sanctuary campuses, Rossi said he takes responsibility for not communicating his thoughts well about the issue and said he came off as aggressive. He added, though, that

he remains skeptical of SU declaring itself a sanctuary campus.

After the election result was announced, Franco said he respects both Rossi and Tin and would love to sit down and talk with them about the ideas they campaigned on.

“If they would like to be involved with SA, we’d love to have that,” he said. “They’re impressive individuals, great leadership."

Rossi said he is “considering” joining SA next year, while Tin said he is not planning to take part in the organization.

The two campaigns had similar platforms. Both Franco and Rossi pledged to expand mental health treatment options for students on campus if elected; improve public safety both on and off-campus; and increase diversity and inclusion at SU.

Some of Franco’s key campaign goals were to create a peer listening service for students and establish a shuttle service to help students living off-campus near Euclid Avenue get home.

After the phone call with Bogris and as the reality began to sink in that they would lead SA next year, Franco and Pati hugged friends and thanked them for their support and laughed together. Excited chatter filled the house, replacing the music that had been blasting from a stereo earlier in the night as the party waited for the election’s result.

“We’re really representing everyone who we’re supposed to be representing,” Pati said.

to retire in 2018. But Syverud overruled him.

“I thought that was a mistake, because it hurts recruiting,” he said. “Because I don’t run things here, I was overruled. It was fine.

We worked through it.”

In his first public comments on Boeheim since then, Syverud said in a recent interview with The Daily Orange that he didn’t take issue with Boeheim’s comments.

“I have great respect for anybody who has to

appear before the press after every game and on a regular basis,” Syverud said. “I think we have a great basketball coach and a great athletic director, so I wasn’t bothered by that.”

for research, according to Syracuse.com.

Trump, in his proposed 2018 fiscal year budget, eliminates funding for the Environmental Protection Agency and National Institutes of Health for different types of research. More than 600 similar events took place around the world on Saturday, which was Earth Day. Several scientists in central New York spoke during the Syracuse event, urging the gathered protesters to support scientists that work to cure diseases and understand climate change, among other things, per Syracuse.com.

The march was part of a series of ral-

lies held across the country on Saturday, including ones that were held in Washington, D.C., and New York City.

Konkol had been chaplain at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota, since 2013, and is also a faculty member of the college’s Peace, Justice and Conflict Studies program and is a faculty liaison to the men’s basketball team, according to the news release.

"At a time when engaging such matters of religion, spirituality and ethics is increasingly viewed as an educational necessity, I am honored and excited to carry forward the profound legacy of Hendricks Chapel,” Konkol said in the release.

“The search committee for the next Whitman Dean has been working diligently, alongside our partners at Isaacson Miller, to identify highly qualified candidates for consideration as the next Dean of the Whitman School of Management,” the Whitman dean’s office wrote in an email to Whitman students last week.

Dewan, whose teaching and research interests include business analytics, the information

technology industry and financial information systems, served as the Rochester business school’s senior associate dean for faculty and research from 2009 through 2014, according to his biography. He managed the faculty, budget and human resources under the title.

Some of his accomplishments included increasing tenured full professors and tenure-track professors from 36 in 2009 to 44 in 2014, leading development of a one-year MBA program and helping implementation

of enrollment increase strategy.

The university has been searching for a replacement of former Dean Kenneth Kavajecz, who was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of patronizing a person for prostitution in the third degree.

Kavajecz has pleaded not guilty, and his court appearances have repeatedly been adjourned. His last court appearance, in March, was pushed back to May 25.

needed to grant the DAIC chair voting rights on cabinet. A revision to the SA constitution must be approved by the assembly and by a vote from at least 10 percent of the student body, according to the constitution.

Because the bill was drafted and passed later in the academic year, Devino said there wasn’t enough time to add a referendum for the revision to this year’s ballot. He said the student body will probably vote on the revision during the 2018 elections.

Robinson said that while she believed the DAIC should eventually get a cabinet vote, the lack of voting rights during the next legislative session shouldn’t be a problem because she rarely disagrees with the cabinet’s decisions.

Robinson added that she’s proud of SA for recognizing that diversity affairs should have a permanent committee.

“Having this committee just shows that more students want to be involved in diversity and inclusion,” she said.

Acting on climate change must go beyond Earth Day, Election Day

H

undreds of people from the greater Syracuse area celebrated Earth Day Saturday morning by gathering downtown to raise awareness about the necessity of science.

The Syracuse March for Science was one of hundreds across the United States held in alliance with the March for Science in Washington, D.C., to send a signal to the White House that Americans are not happy with the administration’s disregard for scientific truth, particularly in regard to climate science. In Syracuse, attendees listened intently as local scientists spoke about the preservation, education and celebration of science.

No matter their profession or age, advocates huddled together to cheer, chant and boo in solidarity.

Many scientists, too, could be seen among the crowd. Doctors, nurses, biologists, conservationists, psychologists, chemists, physicists and engineers came out in support of the belief that staying silent about science “is a luxury that we can no longer afford,” a message noted in the March for Science’s mission statement.

Rather than stay silent about science, it is essential for voters to support leaders who believe in it. But between Earth Day and Election Day, it’s important that people remember they have the power to effect positive environmental changes.

The people have the power to reach out to politicians, whether it’s at the city, county, state or national levels. The people have the ability to express their opinions and urge those in charge to act on climate and

THE GREEN SCENE support scientific research.

“Don’t let our administration or government defund science,” said Calvin Prothro, a professor of geology and planetary science at Onondaga Community College, at the march.

“Because it hurts all of us.”

Prothro reminded protesters that to “think globally,” they must also “act locally.”

drought. The state of New York was forced to issue a drought watch for the first time in 14 years.

And just north of the city, Oneida Lake is becoming increasingly warmer each year, resulting in the dangerous growth of blue algae and a steady reduction in native fish populations like walleye. In fact, the lake is green more often than it is clear in the summer.

When the march drew to a close, scientists in various fields held up signs stating their concentration to provide an opportunity for attendees to learn more about what they do.

Jesse Yale, a junior at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, held up a sign for biology because he’s currently pursuing a degree in environmental biology and said it’s “very near and dear to my heart.”

“Go out and learn and as much as you can about anything that you can,” Yale said. “Being well-informed about topics in the sciences is so important and can’t be understated.”

April 22 should not be the only day of the year that people take the time to admire the planet they live on. This should not be the only day of the year

to feel angry about climate change.

And it shouldn’t just be a reason for someone to Instagram a picture of themselves hiking in the woods, either.

The volatile state of ecosystems around the world is not something to joke about. As Earth Day comes and goes, don’t forget there is no Planet B when this one’s gone, and we should all do a part to take care of the one we have.

Most scientists today indicate that people are more likely to believe in climate change if it’s happening to them, according to a Pew Research Center study published last year.

Inhabitants of coastal states including California, Florida and Louisiana are more apt to accept climate change as a reality because they’ve experienced it firsthand. But climate change is happening here in Syracuse, too.

Last summer, Onondaga County endured an extended period of time without rain, which later manifested into a severe

Forums give students input in dean search The Whitman School’s decision to host student-only forums as part of the dean search gives students the say they deserve in selecting the person who will lead the school following the sudden and disgraced departure of Kenneth Kavajecz.

The forums, which will be held this week, will feature the three finalists for the Martin J. Whitman School of Management dean position.

Students will receive information about each finalist about 24 hours prior to the candidate’s visit and can share their input about each candidate in a survey that will be given to the dean search committee and Vice Chancellor and Provost Michele Wheatly.

an opportunity to voice their opinions about the potential deans in a setting that doesn’t include the voices of faculty and staff with a stake in the decision.

It’s important that students are involved in the dean search especially considering there was great concern about the school’s leadership after Kavajecz was charged in September with patronizing a person for prostitution in the third degree and subsequently fired.

The student-only forums are not typical for dean searches, but should be considered as mandatory aspects of searches in the future to maximize student input. It makes sense, though, Asst.

Photo Editor Jacob Greenfeld Senior Design Editor Kiran Ramsey Design Editor Ali Harford Design Editor Andy Mendes Design Editor Layla Molayem Design Editor Bridget Slomian Design Editor Rori Sachs Design Editor Alex Szelewski Asst.

Video Editor Brigid Kennedy Asst. Video Editor Lizzie Michael Asst. Web Editor Anna Merod Asst. Web Editor Divya Murthy

that the student-only forums are occurring initially during the Whitman dean search since there is more at stake for Whitman students in who will be dean compared to other schools and colleges across campus that had more dignified dean departures.

Regardless of whether the forums are well-attended, the Whitman School is providing the opportunity for students to have their say in the search. Student input is critical in the matter of selecting the person who oversees their respective school or college.

Moving forward, the student-only forums should transcend the Whitman search and be a factor in dean searches to come.

SUNY-ESF makes progress with updated strategic plan

The State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry has an overarching plan called Vision 2020 that assesses the campus. The plan proposes seven goals for the college to strive to achieve by the year 2020. Multiple initiatives have been implemented during the current academic year. brandon bielinski staff photographer

ultiple initiatives and programs have been updated and implemented at SUNY-ESF over the current academic year as part of the college’s overarching Vision 2020 overhaul plan.

In 2003, a committee of State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry community members created a campus assessment called Vision 2020 that proposed seven goals, each with their own targets, for the college to achieve by the year 2020.

The original plan was centered on student life, external partnerships, funding, academic excellence and the needs of society at large.

But by 2015, it became clear to administrators and campus leaders that the plan was in need of an update. Many of the original targets listed in the plan were obsolete or already completed, prompting an update aimed at bridging the college’s current needs and the original 2020 target date.

Some of the Vision 2020 update’s goals include SUNY-ESF becoming financially “secure” and independent of the state and the college increasing diversity and inclusion on campus.

A group of 18 faculty members and student leaders formed the college’s Strategic Planning Steering Committee, which met from February to May 2015 to draft the Vision 2020 update for SUNY-ESF President Quentin Wheeler’s approval. All of the original seven goals were revised and carried over in the Vision 2020 update, along with the addition of an eighth goal focusing on diversity and inclusion.

“As we maintain our core academic strengths, new and enhanced program efforts continue to progress in alignment with the Academic Directions section of the Vision 2020 Update,” SUNY-ESF Provost and Executive Vice President Valerie A. Luzadis said in a statement to The Daily Orange.

One of the original goals revised and carried over in the Vision 2020 update is for SUNY-ESF to become financially “secure” and independent to “protect itself against the vagaries of state funding.”

The college wants to create $100 million in ESF College Foundation assets by 2020 to include increased alumni, corporate and foundation giving. SUNY-ESF also wants to achieve $30 million in annual research money through diversified funding sources, accord-

ing to the update. The college additionally wants to grow sponsored research revenue from a baseline of $16 million in fiscal year 2014-15 to $20 million in fiscal year 2020-21.

Kelley Donaghy, an associate professor of chemistry at SUNYESF and a former member of the SPSC, said that she considers offsetting costs to be more realistic than financial independence from the state SUNY system.

“We’re going into debt because our state allocation and our tuition allocations aren’t covering the operating costs of the institution,” Donaghy said. “Our administration needs to find a way other than through state funding, other than tuition, to make ends meet.”

Donaghy added that the college is currently working toward doing so.

The original Vision 2020 plan also included a target of diversifying the student body, but a commitment to inclusion was not one of the plan’s seven main goals. Different initiatives and programs are now being set into place at SUNY-ESF in an effort to create a more inclusive campus.

Last Tuesday, the SUNY-ESF academic governance passed a resolution to provide more women’s bathrooms on campus and label all single-stall bathrooms gender-neutral.

“We passed a couple different resolutions calling for more genderinclusive spaces on campus as well as mandatory diversity training for professors,” said Ben Taylor, president of SUNY-ESF’s Undergraduate Student Association.

The college has an Inclusion, Diversity Equity Committee that ran different campus-wide diversity programs this semester, Luzadis said in the statement, and is pushing through a strategic plan for diversity and inclusion, Taylor added.

SUNY-ESF is also in the final stages of hiring a chief diversity officer, Taylor added, which is one target of the Vision 2020 update.

Luzadis said several other changes included in the Vision 2020 update have been recently implemented by SUNY-ESF, including an increase in the college’s web presence and investment in infrastructure.

In a statement to The Daily Orange, Wheeler said it is important that the college address current goals and look toward future ones.

“We must be nimble and capable of adapting to unanticipated challenges and opportunities, not the least of which are changes underway in our nation’s capital,” he said. mdcatalf@syr.edu

WHO IS SY

JULIE WALAS-HUYNH was an Otto the Orange mascot during her time at Syracuse University. Now she coaches the mascot program, helping 10 students grow into the iconic character while handling social media for Otto. She is also committed to helping students in the School of Information Studies succeed at SU and after graduation.

ulie Walas-Huynh is in the middle of a sentence when her phone goes off. She pauses, and looks down at the screen.

“Sorry,” she says, picking up the phone and checking the contents of the message. “It’s Otto stuff. They’re making videos and posts about Earth Day this weekend.”

Walas types out a quick reply, then, with the same fluid efficiency, jumps right back into the present moment. She juggles a lot — between her position as the director of student engagement at the School of Information Studies and head coach of the Syracuse University mascot program, Walas is constantly managing content not only for herself and her advisees, but for Otto the Orange, as well.

“Otto’s one of the biggest brands at Syracuse University and brand management is insane in a digital world. Otto’s social media presence is 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We’re constantly producing content for him,” Walas said.

And Walas knows more than anyone how best to organize the world of the Orange as a graduate, long-time employee of Syracuse University and a former Otto. This is Walas’ 10th season coaching the mascot program, something she calls “one of the greatest privileges” of her life.

Coaching mascots — especially those at a Division I universities — need to invest in the lives of students, being a part of who they are and how they develop, Walas said. On top of that, along with the help of the 10 students currently acting as Otto, Walas manages Otto’s social media presence, schedule and the mascot team’s relationship with the athletics department. She also answers emails to Otto’s account — otto@syr.edu.

“I don’t coach students in the same way that John Desko and Jim Boeheim do, where they stand on the sidelines and call plays. It’s very different,” Walas said.

Isaac Clark, a senior marketing management

and finance double major who has worked with Walas throughout his two-and-a-half-year tenure as Otto, said Walas is the perfect person to lead the mascot team.

“Julie is one of the strongest leaders I’ve ever encountered. She has such great vision, such great intuition, and is so personable and understands how to deal with college students in a way that allows us to grow and become better students and better people,” Clark said.

Walas studied abroad in Madrid and calls traveling one of her greatest thrills in life Not only does Clark hold Julie’s experienced opinion in the highest esteem, but he said her level of commitment to SU is one that motivates him constantly.

“She is one of the greatest students Syracuse University has ever witnessed. She was extremely involved, extremely passionate about our school, and that’s what I strive to be as a student — to be as engaged as she was,” he said. “To have that passion for our university and that inspires me every day.”

Beyond Manley Field House or the Carrier Dome, Walas holds another coaching position — one that involves advising and engaging iSchool students while there at Syracuse, and motivating them for their lives after graduation.

She said her favorite way to interact with students is through the iSchool’s student organizations. Walas runs the peer mentor program and oversees the Senior Squad, a team in charge of bringing the graduating iSchool class together.

“My goal is really to help bring students into the thought process of ‘What is my future going to be?’ by introducing them to the people who have gone before them,” Walas said.

Connecting past, current and future students is of the utmost importance to Walas in her advising role. She spends a large portion of her time planning immersion trips and excursions for current students to help facilitate those relationships.

“You just see her face light up when she gets to see students that she’s been able to influence interact with each other,” said Megan Minier, a senior information management and technology major who has worked closely with Walas for four years. “She will go above and beyond to connect those students and those people and try to make it a beneficial interaction for everyone.”

When Minier injured her knee prior to a spring break trip with the iSchool, she was devastated.

She was confined to a wheelchair, and worried that visiting 25 tech companies in five days would be too difficult. So she talked to Walas.

“She was like, ‘You need to go on this trip. You were meant to go on this trip. We will make it work.

I’ll do anything I can, just don’t worry,’” Minier said.

And when the time came, Walas was there for Minier the entire trip, pushing her wheelchair and ensuring accessibility at each of the companies.

Minier said the trip changed her life.

John Liddy, director of the Syracuse Student Sandbox, a start-up advisory program, and someone who works closely with the iSchool immersion programs, said Julie has knack for leveling with the students she oversees.

“I think what sets her apart is really that passion that she has for the students,” Liddy said. “When we’re talking about an experience, it’s not, ‘Hey, is it best for us to get in and out of one company?’ it is, ‘What is the student going to come away with?’”

Liddy added that Walas embodies the fact that “we’re all in it together.” Whether alumnus or student, the Orange bond is forever.

“I fell in love with Syracuse because that people have a genuine and authentic spirit and I think that’s still true,” Walas said. “That authenticity of who we are and what we’re about is really unique and captivating in a way.” brkenned@syr.edu

YRACUSE?

JONATHAN HOSTER became a brand ambassador for Rita’s Italian Ice in 2015. Every year, he has tubs of his favorite dessert shipped in for the engineering and computer science open house. When there are leftovers, he drives around campus in his signature golf cart and gives out the cold confection to anyone who wants a taste.

erardo Martinez’s dream was for his parents to see him graduate college.

His upbringing in the Californian “hood” had been rough, he said.

Neither of his parents finished middle school. Yet he was about to be the first in his family to graduate, with numerous accolades and a civil engineering degree from Syracuse University.

But his family’s financial resources were a problem, and for a moment it looked like Martinez would be graduating alone, clear across the country from his parents.

That’s when Jonathan Hoster stepped in. An undergraduate recruitment specialist for the College of Engineering and Computer Science, Hoster and Martinez first met in 2012 while Hoster was giving prospective students a tour of Link Hall.

Over the years their relationship grew, so by 2015, Martinez said confiding to Hoster about his parents’ dilemma felt natural.

Never one to let a student struggle, Hoster began reaching out to alumni, and eventually found someone willing to support Martinez’s parents’ flight from California. Because of Hoster, Martinez

fulfilled his dream of being with his family for graduation.

“There are endless stories of what he has and will continue to do for me,” Martinez said. “I will never be able to thank him enough.”

Stories like these are far from uncommon where Hoster is concerned. The man has built himself a reputation as a guardian angel for students and staff alike, a reputation that started long before he joined the SU admissions staff.

Hoster, an SU alumnus, earned his bachelor’s degree in broadcast and digital journalism and his master’s in literacy education. He fell in love with the Orange during a high school tour. When the time came to apply for college, SU was the only school that earned Hoster’s application.

After graduation, Hoster worked a variety of jobs before joining the SU admissions team, and since 2012 he’s attended recruitment events, giving tours and wooing potential students.

Hoster’s office in 123 Link Hall is a colorful hodgepodge of memorabilia.

Stuffed animals and knick-knacks line the shelves, paperwork overflows the desk and the walls are covered in tacked up photos, plaques and magnets.

Yet what appears to be a cluttered scavenger hunt of an office is actually a carefully cultivated museum of Hoster’s life. Each item in the room — like the empty pizza box in the corner and the “Painting with a Twist” artwork on the walls — has its own story. Even Martinez makes an appearance, in the form of an article printout SU Magazine did on him in 2014.

The stories behind other objects in the room, however, are less obvious. Like, the Otto the Orange cookie tacked to a bulletin board, still wrapped in its plastic packaging.

The adorable cookie looks like it came from a specialty bakery, but in reality, was made by none other than Hoster’s mother, who shipped a box of all the way from Pennsylvania for National Orange Day. Hoster passed the cookies out to the Traditions Commission, which he advises, and didn’t rest until every member had at least one.

Kristen Unangst, a junior finance and supply chain management double major, said Hoster joined the Traditions Commission in fall 2016 at the 11th hour when they were desperate for a new advisor. Yet despite the last minute decision, Unangst said she was shocked at the amount of care, attention and enthusiasm Hoster gave to the club.

“He’s like our dad,” she said.

When Unangst said Hoster went above and beyond to help the organization, she’s not exaggerating: Hoster won the 44 Stars Award for Excellence by an Organizational Advisor for Traditions Commission on April 20. The cookies were just a sweet bonus.

Cookies aren’t even the only sweet snack Hoster has shipped in. Anyone who knows Hoster knows his heart belongs to one dessert in particular: Rita’s Italian Ice. The Philadelphiabased company has long been a favorite of Hoster’s — so much so, that in 2015

Hoster’s favorite flavor of Rita’s Italian Ice is cotton candy

he became an official volunteer brand ambassador for the company.

“Rita’s corporate developed this ‘Rita’s Biggest Fan’ program...and I kind of think they developed it just for me,” Hoster said, laughing. “Because I didn’t submit an application right away when they developed the program, and then like two days before they contacted me saying, ‘You’re going to submit an application, right?”

He has tubs of the sugary confection shipped in every year for the engineering and computer science open house. If there is any Rita’s left over, Hoster can be spotted driving around campus in a golf cart, passing out Italian ice to anyone who wants it.

This type of enthusiasm and commitment to everything he does is what endears Hoster to his peers. Whether he’s pulling an all-nighter to help Martinez with a fellowship application or posting on his Facebook page to try to find an internship for an undergraduate student, Hoster always puts in 100 percent.

The dedication hasn’t gone unnoticed.

David Rubin, dean emeritus of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, has known Hoster since he was a student. And from what he’s seen, he wouldn’t be surprised if Hoster was running all of admissions one day.

“If all Syracuse alumni were as enthusiastic as Jonathan,” Rubin said, “then Syracuse would be untouchable as a university.”

Binh Huynh, an SU doctoral candidate and part-time employee of the office of admissions, said he loved Hoster’s energetic and boisterous personality from the first moment he met him. During Hoster’s first road trip with Huynh to interview prospective students, Huynh saw Hoster’s spark emerge when he spent nearly twice the amount of time he was supposed to talking with one student. Hoster was so focused on learning about who the student was as a person.

Although this frustrated him at the time, Hunyh said he came to learn that this amount of attentiveness is actually what makes Hoster great. “(There’s) just a great magnetism about him,” Huynh said. “You felt like the moment he entered a room, there was a supernova that had just erupted.” emmichae@syr.edu

Earthfest evokes environmental celebration, awareness in Thornden Park

By Hana Maeda staff writer

E

ncircled by the trees of Thornden Park’s Amphitheater, a sea of tie-dye shirts and hula hoops flood the area at Earthfest. The opening band, Greener Days and High Water, kicked things off as students, families and Otto the Orange rested on blankets and hammocks. With the weather and the guests in good spirits, it was a great day to enjoy the outdoors.

Earthfest, a sustainability-themed music and arts festival celebrating Earth Day, was put together by the Students of Sustainability, the Syracuse chapter of the New York Public Interest Research Group, BrainFeeders and Syracuse University Sustainability Management. The annual festival aims to connect Syracuse University and the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry with the broader Syracuse community through promoting sustainability and environmental issues.

The day featured live music, art installations, student and community organizations, speakers, local craft vendors and food trucks. Activities including henna tattoos, jewelry making, and a pre-event yoga session were also provided.

Overcast Clothing, a clothing line and design that specializes in screen-printing, was one of the several vendors at Earthfest.

The Syracuse-based company was founded by four local graduates Dan Mabie, Travis Adenau, Jimmy Becker and Zachary Field, who all design the shirts themselves and print their shirts with organic cotton. They’ve participated at Earthfest for two years.

Although they’ve shown at larger events like the State Fair, the crowd at Earthfest allowed people to easily stop by

and learn more about their products.

“It’s well attended, it’s a good crowd,” Mabie said. “It’s more important to be somewhere with the right kind of people rather than just having a lot of people.”

Earthfest also showcases work from local artists, like Brett Rewakowski of the Marcellus-based art studio, Living the Dream. After showing one painting last year, he decided to bring all of his artwork this time.

APRIL 22, 1970 Marks the first official Earth Day founded by United States Sen. Gaylord Nelson (D-Wis.) as an environmental teach-in

Rewakowski, who specializes in invisible black light paint, or paint that lights up at night, likes that the festival creates a “good gathering of hippies.”

“It’s for people who are conscious of more than just consumerism,” he said. “It’s very grassroots and earthy, and people are conscious of our footprint wherever we go. I like that.”

Maizy Ludden, president of SOS, has helped coordinate the day’s activities. The SU sophomore first joined the organization as a freshman, since she was “always really big on sustainability.”

With a large crowd of people, Ludden said today’s attendance is a testament in people who care about the environment and want to fight back against actions happening in the environment. She hopes that the Earthfest provides a way for people to come together in other ways and make a difference.

“Just the fact that so many people are here shows that our

community does care about protecting the environment and being in solidarity with one another,” Ludden said. “It can get a little depressing sometimes with what’s going on in the political climate, but I think just demonstrations of solidarity like this are really heartening.”

After attending the March for Science on Saturday, SU sophomore Kate Chmielewski “was really intrigued” to see all the politically active groups at Earthfest. Her friends Marlowe Reardon and Megan Falk, also sophomores at SU, attended the festival last year and have been interested in issues on climate change.

“I like getting to know all the different groups, what they’re advocating for, and to learn more about what we can do to get involved and help these groups,” Falk said.

One of those several organizations in attendance was Solarize CNY, the largest Solarize campaign in New York State. The campaign helps local homeowners go solar, and has advocated about the benefits of going solar to the university.

Katelyn Kriesel, project coordinator of Solarize CNY, has enjoyed talking to the students about Community Solar, a solar option for low to moderate individuals or students who rent their homes.

“It’s the perfect crowd for talking about solar,” Kriesel said.

“There’s a lot of cool people here, and the energy is awesome.”

In addition to the weather and close proximity of the festival, Danielle Manna and Billie Li enjoyed seeing everyone come together under the same cause. This is the third year they’ve attended Earthfest.

Although “every day is Earth Day” for the ESF juniors, Manna added that “it’s nice to see other people acknowledging it.” hmaeda@syr.edu

BAKED

BY THE

BOOKS A bake-off of French sweets was held at the Onondaga Free Library on Sunday to accompany the library’s book of the month. The library focused on French Resistance against Nazi Occupation in World War II. Three judges and community voices selected the tastiest meringues, tarts and truffles. colin davy asst. photo editor

A

n unusual setting sat alongside the books at Onondaga Free Library on Sunday, in the form of a long table lined with rows of brown and white truffles, glazed apple tarts and mushroom-shaped meringue. Little handwritten notes with the names of the dessert and “Enjoy!” written on them adorned the dessert trays.

The pastries acted as one additional way to learn about the French Resistance against Nazi Occupation in World War II at the Onondaga Free Library’s book club, or as Friends of Onondaga Free Library volunteers Sue Parry and Jeanette Nels called it, “a companion piece to the book.”

This bake-off marks the second time the library added a companion piece to learn about a book. This year, the dessert bake-off was based on the book “All the Light We Cannot See” by Anthony Doerr, which discusses the French resistance during World War II. “We wanted to find a unique program to do with the books and that’s why we did the bakeoff,” said Alyssa Newton, assistant director at the library. “It was so popular and people wanted another one that we had to pick one for this year.”

Newton found out Anthony Doerr was speaking for the Rosamond Gifford Lecture Series at Syracuse University earlier, and so she thought of doing French pastries as a finish to the book club’s reading.

The bake-off was open to the public, and both a panel of three judges as well as community voices came in for a tasting. After sampling all the pastries, the community members and the judge panel voted for their favorite pastry.

“I think it’s amazing to see how many community members come out to a baking event like this, it’s all about new faces,” Newton said.

“I hope it does bring new people to the club.”

Last year, the theme centered around Southern desserts based off the book “To Kill a Mockingbird” which was introduced to the library

by CNY Reads, a county-wide mission to get everyone to read one book. The mission invited new people to the book club in hopes they would eventually start frequenting the library more.

Newton said the participants were up from seven last year to 10 this year, which was a win for the library’s goal of reaching more people.

The lineup of pastries this year included fresh fruit tart, baked pear almond tart, pecan pralines, butterscotch red velvet truffles and mint chocolate truffles and French apple tart.

Susan Morgan, the director of the Onondaga Free Library, said the desserts were judged on two criteria: appearance and taste, both ranked from one to five.

The fresh fruit tart bagged the Judges’ Choice prize and the French apple tart won the hearts of the community residents who came by for the tasting.

“It’s just simple,” Betty Clovis, the maker of the French apple tart, said. “Everybody said it was simple and succulent.”

The fresh fruit tart that unanimously won the Judges’ Choice Award melted with vanilla bean cream and was topped with berries. Vincent, the member who prepared the dessert, was going for a seasonal spin on her pastry.

“I think it’s the fresh fruit — it’s spring and that vanilla pastry cream has actual vanilla bean,” she said. “I think the fresh fruit pushed

French dessert bake-off honors book of the month it over, because people are ready for spring.”

Vincent, a newcomer to the Syracuse area and a professor in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, said the library was great at bringing together people with such events. She often visits the library for children’s story time events, books, and CDs and this unique bake-off visit added to her enjoyable experience at the library.

The winners of the best desserts of the afternoon took home a $25 gift certificate to The Sweet Praxis, a downtown bakery that serves up eccentric versions of classic baked goods.

Events like the book club’s bake-off are small steps toward getting more readers into the library. The library strives toward greater literacy and learning in the community, so welcoming new members into the book club is the cherry on top of a warm afternoon with sweet pastries.

As the guests and community members swept more of their favorite desserts into plastic bags to take home, two more people exchanged contact information about recipes used for the pastries.

Many, like Vincent and Grace Drogalis, a teenager who prepared truffles, are planning to come back next year. Morgan said a different theme is in the works: hors d’oeuvres or perhaps a switch away from desserts.

The goal of the library reaches beyond indulging a sweet tooth, however, Morgan said.

“We know that food gets people in the door,” Morgan said. “If you have food they will come.

But really, it’s about community and a gathering spot on Onondaga Hill, anytime we can have a community event where we can see people who may not use the library on a daily basis.” dmurthy@syr.edu

SU on wrong end of close call in extra innings loss to UNC

By Michael McCleary staff writer

The crowd at SU Softball Stadium roared with anger. Kelsey Johnson stood on the bag at third base in confusion as head coach Mike Bosch argued the out call the umpire just made. Johnson thought she had gotten under the tag and her coach, as well as the crowd around her, all agreed with her assessment. But the umpire did not budge.

The very next play, Alicia Hansen — who at the time had only one other home run this season — hit a bomb over the left center field fence. But Bosch was still enraged. His team just added to its run total, but his frustration was reflecting upon what he felt was missing.

Syracuse (26-17, 7-10 Atlantic Coast) dropped the second game of the series against North Carolina (36-13, 14-6) in nine innings on Sunday. In its 11-10 loss, the from page 16

di fino Fino helped set up a program where members from sales club came in two nights per week to make ticket-sale clubs. And at Penn State, he introduced a twist to the four-hour long training program he gave the club members last fall. He pulled out a bright pink pony from his bag and said any time somebody asked an open-ended question, the pony would be thrown at them.

“That whole training session, because it was so new to us, that pony was flying across the room,” de la Fuente said. “It was pretty cool though because by the end … we were really focusing on only asking open-ended questions.

SU Athletics had tried many options for ticket sales, said Patrick Ryan, a sport management professor at the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics. They tried to fill the role in-house with current staff — Ryan was in charge of it one summer — and by outsourcing

questionable call at third base ended up being the deciding run in the game, one that many on SU said they believe should have been scored.

“I thought I was safe,” Johnson said. “It’s tough, (Hansen and I) were both frustrated with it. We’re not going to get things called our way every time.”

Syracuse, seventh in the ACC, needed just one win to clinch the series against the Tar Heels, second in the conference. Over the past four seasons, Syracuse is 3-7 against North Carolina, never winning more than one game in any of the seasons. Winning the series would have provided a huge boost for the Orange.

Hansen’s home run was one of the first signs of offense the Orange had seen all game long. Going scoreless through the first four innings, Syracuse’s four-run fifth inning tied the game which would eventually go to to other companies, but that didn’t work.

“They finally realized, I think,” Ryan said, “that they really needed to put a professional, full-time ticket sales group together.

“He was a key person that athletics desperately needed to be responsible for the ticket sales.”

Aside from the job opportunity, part of the reason Di Fino moved back to the Syracuse area is because he hopes to start a family soon.

His return to the place where he grew up has been marked with success at every stop. His blend of pristine organization with creative problem-solving techniques has fueled it.

Despite that, Di Fino realizes that his job never ends. There are more tickets to sell.

There are more season ticket holders to satisfy on game days. And there is the challenge of luring fans back to attending football games. He relishes all of that.

“I’m not going to sleep until that Dome is filled,” Di Fino said. tdlanger@syr.edu | @tomer_langer

extra innings.

The entire game the Orange fought from behind. Down four runs in the fifth, SU scored four runs to even up the score. Down three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning, the last shot it had at a game-saving comeback, the team scored three runs to tie the game again and send it to extra innings. Following a rough defensive top of the ninth, Syracuse found themselves again down four, 11-7. In the bottom of the inning, SU scored three runs, falling just short of another come-from-behind inning to extend the game. The extra runner at third was the Orange’s only opportunity to be on top in the game.

“It was one that we could have had, it was a game-changer,” Hansen said. “If (the umpires) aren’t going to help us, then we have to show them we could do it on our own.”

Johnson added that she and her team-

mariano team said. Last Wednesday in practice, he dodged on a couple of guys, stutter-stepped and shot it past Molloy with his right.

“He threw his whole body into it,” Molloy said. “That’s when he’s at his best.” Molloy said Mariano scores on “every goalie,” citing his accuracy to put it top shelf or low corner almost at will.

“I still get mad at myself,” Molloy said, “and sometimes I remind myself that nobody’s making that save.

“Mariano’s the best shooter I’ve ever played against, hands down,” Molloy added. “It’s not even close. You have guys who can put the heat on the ball, but you can read it better. Mariano just hides his stick well, quick release. It’s a hard save to make. When I save his shots, I know I’m having a good day. All angles. It’s

mates would prefer not to play from behind in most games, but that is a boost in morale when the team has big innings. Bosch agreed that explosive offensive innings shouldn’t be a negative as long as they consistently lead to runs.

In the past 10 games SU has played, each contains one or two innings in which the Orange score more than half of its final run total. Over the same 10-game span, Syracuse has played 35 different innings in which they have been held scoreless.

The offensive power in the fifth kept the Orange around in the game, but SU still left the inning disappointed at what could’ve been.

“A little bit,” Bosch said on if he felt disappointed following the home run by Hansen.

“Close plays like that happen in softball, sometimes they don’t go your way.” mmcclear@syr.edu

something special.”

Binghamton head coach Kevin McKeown said Mariano shoots even when he looks covered, sometimes double-teamed.

He thrives at wrapping his hands around his defender and shooting from angles that make it hard for the goalie to pick up. He can dissect defenses with a foresight to see open spaces and attack them.

One of Mariano’s hardest shots for a goalie to pick up may have come April 1 at then-No. 1 Notre Dame, where Mariano scored four goals to lift SU to the upset victory. His second score came on a righthanded shot. He laughed about it postgame, only a week after he scored three goals with his left against Duke. He knew UND would force him right. When UND took away his left, Mariano rolled back right to put Syracuse up 7-5.

national anthem of Expression, a New York City offshoot of Columbia University that studies the implications of free speech. He studies rights and freedoms and said while it is a subjective matter, the consequences of such actions must first be considered. He said only if an act of speech directs violence can it be regulated.

“Symbolic speech is a slippery slope,” Avezdjanov said. “It’s not about the way you do it. It’s what comes out of it in the moment that the speech occurs.

“Teams look at you as a commodity, as a brand,” he added. “Anything you do someone might find offensive.”

The recent protests conjure those of the 1960s and 1970s, when college and professional sports teams demonstrated inequality. Back in 1972, the Louisville men’s basketball team did not leave the locker room for the national anthem. The same year, Northern Illinois’s president said “tensions are high” with black students. When UCLA played at Oregon and Cal in 1970-71, large groups of black fans did not stand during the national anthem, according to the Los Angeles Times. And in 1972-73, cheerleaders at Creighton walked off of the court before the anthem and returned when the song ended.

In 1970, a group of Syracuse football players known as the “Syracuse 8” boycotted the football season in an effort to demand change and promote racial equality within the program. Later that year, former Syracuse football and lacrosse legend Jim Brown infuriated the Orange when he supported the boycotters, according to the book “Leveling the Playing Field: The Story of the Syracuse Eight.” They signed a petition demanding starting assignments based on merit rather than race and a discernible effort to racially integrate the coaching staff, which had been all white since 1898. Brown backed the players and blasted his old coaches.

Brown also stood alongside Muhammad Ali in the 1960s, when the boxing champion protested going to Vietnam. In

2015, former SU basketball star Carmelo Anthony marched in Baltimore in Freddie Gray protests. And, in November 2015, the Missouri football team threatened to boycott its season.

Nearly all of the major acts of athlete activism are to protest police brutality, criminal justice, education reform or income inequality. Today, across the Atlantic Coast Conference, member schools vary on how they approach athlete protest.

A Louisville spokesman said in an email that the ACC school allows each of its student athletes to protest the way Kaepernick did, though none have done so to his knowledge. Its men’s basketball coach, Rick Pitino, said he would discuss any issues with players.

“It’s a free country. You just get up there and you just say your piece,” Pitino said in October. “It’ll go national. And if there is something bothering you socially, go ahead and say it.”

Roy Williams, head coach of 2017 NCAA champions North Carolina, switched his view in the weeks after Kaepernick kneeled. The 66-year-old Williams originally was angered, according to CBS Sports.

He softened his stance and has said he is open to discussing the topic as long as players notify him beforehand. Williams spoke with his players the day after Kaepernick’s first demonstration.

“I told them, ‘Come on, tell me what you’re thinking, feeling got any questions about it?’” Williams told CBS Sports.

Last fall, Wake Forest held an open forum for all student-athletes. The students decided that it’s up to each team whether players can protest by refusing to stand for the anthem. The university has maintained that policy. During the national anthem, the Demon Deacons’ men’s basketball team interlocked arms.

Even as the 2016-17 athletic year nears its end, the athlete-protest debate persists.

“If anyone is going to choose to protest,” Wildhack said, “they really should think, ‘What is the appropriate way to do that?’”

SU declines policy for athlete protests

By Matthew Gutierrez asst. sports editor

Last week, Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh applauded Colin Kaepernick in Time Magazine.

“His willingness to take a position at personal cost is now part of our American story,” he wrote. It reignited debate over national anthem protests, as some argue they are disrespectful to the country.

It’s been nearly eight months since Kaepernick first knelt during the national anthem. The former NFL star is still without a team.

Whether that’s a result of the baggage that comes with his politics or his on-field performance is unclear. But how sports leagues, teams and administrators address athlete demonstrations is still very much alive, Syracuse included.

Last month, U.S. Soccer adopted a policy stating all players must stand for the national anthem or face disciplinary action. At Syracuse, Director of Athletics John Wildhack said this month that SU has not adopted a policy toward protests, nor does it intend to.

None of the more than 600 Syracuse student athletes has outwardly protested during the national anthem, either by kneeling, sitting or staying in the locker room. Last fall, Wildhack and each of the

coaches sat down and discussed how to address such protests, if they were to occur at SU. “What we would ask is if anyone did plan to protest,” Wildhack said, “they do it in an appropriate manner. We would like an inkling if someone has a concern. We respect their right to exercise free speech.”

Wildhack declined to say the steps SU would take if an athlete expressed he or she wanted to protest. Men’s basketball head coach Jim Boeheim said last fall that he believes it’s important to stand during the national anthem and that he isn’t a “protest guy.” He said SU players are welcome to talk about it. Football head coach Dino Babers declined last fall to elaborate on the topic.

The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, Kaepernick and his teammates knelt in protests against racism and police brutality. It sparked a debate that over the last few months has hardly faded. Other NFL players have protested in similar manner. East Carolina University’s marching band refused to stand at a football game, and WNBA players and youth athletes alike have knelt in protest.

men’s lacrosse

Senior Nick Mariano develops right hand

By Matthew Gutierrez asst. sports editor

From time to time, Evan Molloy tells Nick Mariano when the popcorn is popping. Or when the muffins are coming his way. By that, Syracuse’s goalie means easy saves.

Around the Syracuse lacrosse team, there’s a running joke that Mariano does not have a right hand. “He gets a lot of crap,” senior midfielder Sergio Salcido said.

Even when Mariano shoots with his non-dominant hand, his right, it sometimes comes toward the cage relatively slow. Molloy calls such shots popcorn or muffins because they’re too easy to stop.

“With Mariano, you want to make him go right,” ESPN lacrosse analyst Mark Dixon said.

Mariano realized early this year that many teams would put their top defender on him. Often, they’d force him right. When they do so, the SU senior midfielder is beginning to have an answer. He no longer relies solely on his powerful left-handed snipe, which zips at about 100 miles per hour and makes him the leading scorer (29 goals) on the country’s top-ranked team. He’s scored at least two goals this season with his right — at least two more than he did all of last year, when he scored each of his team-high 35 goals with his dominant left hand.

Mariano has scored 64 goals

over the last two seasons, 22 more than anybody else on SU. By developing his right hand for dodging, shooting and passing, he can round out his game for No. 1 Syracuse (11-1, 4-0 Atlantic Coast) in what are his final weeks of college lacrosse.

“I know I can shoot the ball right-handed,” Mariano said. “I’ve just got to get confidence in myself and consistently put it on cage where I want it.”

In practice, defenders heavily favor his left, almost begging him to go right. Mariano, the leading scorer at Massachusetts in 2014 and 2015 and now at SU, usually will flash his right for a few steps then roll back to the side he’s more comfortable with. He knows he should go right more.

For Mariano, a solidified right hand would mean more pressure on the defense. He would draw more slides, leaving spaces for others. He would add to an already impressive arsenal, and he would become less predictable.

“Contrary to popular to belief,” redshirt senior Joe Gillis said, “he does have a right hand. I’ve seen him put it in his right this year more than all of last year. Teams know he’s all left, so if they’re going to give him that right, I don’t think he’s going to be shy to take it.”

In 2016, Mariano didn’t score a single goal with his right, the see mariano page 14
