Whitman STEM designation gives opportunity
news@dailyorange.comdailyorange.com NEWS september 15 , 2022 3
Following the class of 2022 becoming the first to graduate from Whitman with the designation, Christopher Wszalek, executive director of graduate admissions and student recruitment, said he’s glad he can now promote it to the incoming class as well as to future students.
Tasber ran once again, spe cifically to be the GSO Senate’s financial secretary, but ultimately dropped out during the questioning portion of the election because he said Melissa Alvisi, his opponent, was more than qualified.

Wszalek said the designation speaks to the program’s overall strength for both domestic and international students.

In his previous role as associate dean for undergraduate and mas ter’s education, McKelvie said he and his staff began to realize the sig nificant emphasis that the Whitman MBA curriculum already placed on STEM fields and their practices.
“It validates that the math skills and the quantitative skills are in the program now that it has the STEM designation,” Wszalek said. “There’s still value even for a domestic candidate to have that.”
At the discussion, panelists reviewed resources available to transgender and nonbinary stu dents. Here’s a list of ways SU and SUNY ESF students in the LGBTQ
Before Whitman received the classification, Wszalek said he had received inquiries about an MBA STEM designation for years, espe cially considering that four of Whit man’s M.S. programs — including business analytics, finance, market ing and supply chain management — already have a STEM designation.
Juan Tavares, director of SU’s Center for International Services, said the extension gives students opportunities to prove their value to employers. The extension can eliminate the extra step in chang ing a person’s immigrant status to an employer, Tavares added.
During Wednesday night’s Gradu ate Student Organization Senate meeting, the organization hosted Associate Provost Peter Vanable and Associate Graduate School Dean Gabby Chapman to share a potential new parental accom modation policy allowing an eight-week grace period for grad uate students who have or adopt a child.“This is in addition to our childcare subsidy policy. We actu ally think it’s underutilized,” Vanable said.
The certification enables inter national students on an F-1 Visa to apply for a 24-month extension to their post-completion Optional Prac tical Training employment authori zation, a 12-month employment per mission completed after graduation. SU students and staff said the exten sion can mean better job prospects for international students.
“It’s (more) a matter of us shar ing the good news now and promot ing the fact that we are on that list of schools,” Wszalek said.
McKelvie said business programs should be considered STEM because of their focus on developing quantita tive skills. Amiya Basu, a professor of marketing in the MBA program, said the practical training that Whitman offers is “a very serious thing” for international students. This train ing, along with his program faculty’s quantitative background, made the designation appropriate, Basu said.
Last Wednesday, Syracuse University’s Gender Affirming Care Team held a discussion at Schine Student Center about queer life SU.

After a year of discussion with the master’s board – which included research into how other business schools have implemented the STEM designation and whether Whitman’s MBA programs matched similar criteria – McKelvie and the team pro posed the designation to the faculty, who he said supported the initiative.

job position.AlexMcKelvie, interim dean of Whitman, said conversations about implementing the certifica tion for the MBA programs started in 2018. From conversations he’s had with them, eligible MBA stu dents are excited about the desig nation, he said.
To become STEM-designated, degree programs must qualify based on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s STEM Desig nated Degree Program List. Tava res said the application is costly — the extension and the initial OPT fee cost $410—but said the advan tages are worth the investment.
Around the same time, he added, they began to understand the value of a three-year OPT time for interna tional students that may have come to the U.S not only for academic but professional purposes.
“I have plenty of experi ence working (in) different time (zones) with foreign students,” Adeoye said. “I’m well equipped to quickly schedule a meeting and get things done.”
The academic accommodation relieves students of academic and research requirements during the eight weeks. Chapman pointed out that the policy is for “new” situations of adoption or birth and arranges for reasonable exten sions for coursework, qualifying exams and research milestones during that time.
While several Whitman degrees had STEM accreditations going back to 2017, the new designation extends to the school’s MBA program. The school hopes to use the certification to promote the degree. corey henry daily orange file photo

Bird Library is home to dozens of resources and staff members who keep the academic space running. Corinne Sartori, the accessibility specialist of the library, ensures university software is accessible for students and faculty use. Sartori, who also graduated from SU, said her work lies at the intersection of IT and policy — she is one of the people who keeps the library running behind the scenes.Another staff member of the library, Dylan Mohr, works as the open scholar ship librarian. Mohr said he is responsible for initiatives related to open access publishing and on campus. During Mohr’s time as a librarian, he said he’s seen a shift in how Bird is used, but that it maintains its original purpose.
“Of almost any time of day or night, (Bird) is a community center,” Seaman said. “I think we use the word community deliberately.”
Bird opened its doors to the public on September 5, 1972. Plans for the building, designed by King & King architecture, a local firm, had been in the works since the mid-60s. Bird was originally designed to be the antidote to the overcrowding — of both students and texts — at Carnegie Library. Christina Hatem, the marketing director, said the opportunity to celebrate Bird’s 50th anniversary was not one library staff wanted to pass up.

“Some people still go to the library because it’s quiet and you can concen trate,” Mohr said. “But there are makerspaces in libraries now. You can do pod cast recordings in the library, there’s video editing software. It’s totally different than what I was doing even 10 years ago.”

The funding for Bird Library came largely from a $3 million donation by SU alumnus Ernest Stevenson Bird, the library’s namesake. The federal govern ment, which contributed $3 million to the construction of Bird, SU alumni and donors also helped to offset the over $13 million price tag.
On Wednesday afternoon, SU students, faculty, staff and alumni gathered in front of the Peter Graham Scholarly Commons for remarks on the library’s anniversary, socializing and cake. David Seaman, the dean of libraries and interim dean at the iSchool, kicked off the event with a brief opening statement.
n 1971, Warren Boes, then-director of Syracuse University libraries, called Bird Library “a library of the future.” Now, 50 years later, with seven floors of resources, study spaces and over 2 million research texts, Bird has entered the future.

After assembling a planning committee of librarians, an archivist and other university staff members, Hatem said the team brainstormed what an ideal celebration of Bird’s 50th anniversary would look like. The final result included a two-hour celebration in Bird with trivia, speakers and cake, as well as pop culture displays around the library that show off music that was popular in the 1970s and the original design plans and model of the library.

Once the liquid has acquired a signifi cant amount of color and its taste resem bles the flavor of every ingredient in the pot, go ahead and strain it into a different — ideally smaller — pot, reserving about about three quarters of a cup of the broth to serve per serving. Now you can add the vegetables and the fish together and let it cook over medium heat — the broth should be at a light simmer. Cook until the fish is flaky. At that point, the vegetables should be cooked through as well.

A chicken club is not only the perfect fall gathering treat, but it’s also a reward ing guilty pleasure you can enjoy. It all starts with your bread of choice. White bread is the standard option, but I like to elevate it with toasted slices of Texas toast, which is essentially baked white bread coated with butter and herbs. I brush my sliced bread with unsalted butter and then add minced garlic and parsley and a little bit of salt and pepper. Leave in the oven at 375 degrees for about 12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Once the broth begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium and let the broth sim mer, stirring occasionally for the next hour to 90 minutes. The longer you let it cook the more the water reduces and the more flavor you’ll achieve.

In the meantime, quarter your pee wee potatoes. Roughly chop your maitake mushrooms after removing their stems and slice four to six strands of asparagus — depending on girth — in diagonal pieces. You’ll add that to the broth once it is com plete and strained.
Immediately add some roughly chopped onions, carrots, celery bunch — one of each — and three cloves of garlic. Let that cook for about five minutes before setting aside. While the pot is still hot, deglaze the pan with half a cup of white wine or some seafood broth and add the cooked prosciutto, vegetables and walnuts. Then add one bunch of parsley, a bay leaf, one rosemary sprig, four sage leaves, a quarter cup of black peppercorns, two tablespoons of kosher salt and the zest of a lemon. Let that simmer over medium-high heat for about 90 seconds before adding four cups of water and increase the heat to high.

The blending of contrasting flavors is one of my favorite things about food, and physically being able to layer them on top of each other brings all of that together in one bite. That’s what is happening with a classic chicken club sandwich. Its two halves are two sandwich quarters stacked on top of one another, not only maximizing the size of your bite, but the amount of flavor that you can get out of each serving.

Instead of a traditional hollandaise, I opted for an avocado crema to drizzle over the eggs. For this, it’s best to use a blender to incorporate all your ingredients. First split two avocados in half. Peel and pit them before adding them to the blender. Then add one and a half tablespoons of creme fraiche, the juice of half a lime, a clove of garlic, half a bunch of cilantro leaves and a teaspoon of both salt and black pepper. If it comes out too thick for your liking, go ahead and add some milk or any creamer you may have until it reaches your desired consistency.

While the nuts are toasting, start cook ing off your prosciutto. In a large pot set over medium-high heat, drizzle enough canola oil to coat the bottom of it and once hot, add one pack (around six pieces) of prosciutto. Let that cook until browned and remove from the pot, setting it aside on paper towels. By this point the walnuts should be toasted.
Jason Aldean
For the chicken, you have two options. You can roast your chicken breast at 350 degrees for 25 minutes for a juicier flavor, or you can grill it (if you have one) for a bit more smokiness. Either way, slice the chicken into one-inch wide strips when cooked and rested.
To assemble the sandwich, spread the honey mustard on each slice of toast and place a small slice of iceberg lettuce and heirloom tomato on top. Then add your slic es of bacon, the chicken strips and another set of lettuce and tomato before adding the final slice of toast. To stack it, slice the full sandwich diagonally in half, then diagonal ly into quarters, and using toothpicks, place one quarter on top of the other to create the two “halves” of your sandwich.
Country singer Jason Aldean will also take the stage at St. Joseph’s Health Amphitheater. The Georgia singer has had 27 No. 1 hits and over 15 billion streams, and has sold more than 20 million albums throughout his 24-year career.

his summer, Syracuse University decided not to track COVID-19 cases on campus in the fall semester. As a result, the SU community is not aware of active COVID-19 cases, blinding students to the reality of the pandemic. In previous years, SU tracked and published positive cases on the COVID-19 dashboard, but the university discontinued the site over the summer.
For a while, I took for granted how closely tied my parents kept the two cultures and how involved I felt in the traditions and heritage my mom showered me with throughout the years.

SU also needs to bring back ran domized testing. As inconvenient as it may seem to students, random ized testing gave accurate rates of COVID-19 cases on campus.

ROXANA BERENTES is in SU’s class of 2025, and argues that the university should provide more resources and recognition to middle eastern students on campus. courtesy of roxana berentes
SU has an obligation as an institution that values diver sity and inclusion to establish a physical space on campus that aids and encourages the coming together of their Middle Eastern students. SU has taken similar actions in the past, such as by the creation of Euclid 119 for Black students, and has more than enough funds to provide Middle Eastern students with a physical space. It would give students a needed feeling of home away from home.

Doerue became one of the top running backs in Texas after progressing into an “electric runner,” according to former team mate Joseph Plunk. Positioned at the helm of Tascosa’s flexbone and option-heavy offense, Doerue ended his senior year with 1,356 rush ing yards, 351 passing yards, 21 rushing touch downs and six receiving touchdowns.
Syracuse kept Purdue quiet for about eight minutes before running back Jerod Void punched in a one-yard touchdown.
Vanderbosch said Gillard’s family history of playing soccer is one reason for her smooth transition to the D-1 level. It’s why Gillard has much more knowledge of the game than other players her age.

If Syracuse can spread the ball out once again, it won’t need to find a No. 1 receiver, but they will still need to get open much quicker. This’ll be the biggest test thus far for the new offense.

O’Connell has thrown for 576 yards and five touchdowns through the first two contests of his sixth year. According to Babers, O’Connell is better than any quarterback Syracuse has faced this season.

“My focus is on the next game and being a better player, not for the scouts, not for what ever,” he Anniesaid.said they’ll be at this weekend’s game against Purdue and the rest of the Orange’s home slate this year. It means a lot to Bergeron, still fulfilling his dream of playing college football while maintaining a connec tion with those back home.
“You hold it for other offensive linemen, and it wasn’t the same punch as when he would come through and do the drills,” Mackey said. “I still remember his punch. It’s pretty hard.”
Syracuse, now 2-0 for the first time since 2018, returns home to face Big 10 opponent Purdue. The air-raid offense is working, the run game is as potent as ever, and receivers are going for big-yard catches and breakaway touchdowns. Defensively, Syracuse allowed a combined 21 points to Louisville and UConn.
The Boilermakers Report Purdue head coach Jeff Brohm chose to pass the ball 18 times and run once with 6:27 remaining against Penn State. This left Sean Clifford enough time to throw a game-winning touchdown. Reeling from the 35-31 loss, PU defeated FCS opponent Indiana State 56-0. Despite a combined 87 points through two weeks, the Boilermakers have struggled in the rush game, continuing a trend from last season where they averaged 2.79 yards per carry. They’re led by redshirt freshman Devin Mockobee’s 78 yards on 13 attempts.

While he’s only returned three kicks for a total of 43 yards thus far, his quick speed off the edge can easily burn Syracuse cornerbacks Alijah Clark, Duce Chest nut or Garrett Williams. The WilliamsJones matchup should be an exciting duel to watch, as Williams is attempting to boost his draft status and Jones just notched 153 yards against Penn State.
The Boilermakers held the Orange to under 100 yards rushing, forced two interceptions and only allowed quarterback Joe Fields a statline of 8-for-15 for 93 yards and no touch downs.

How Syracuse beats Purdue Syracuse needs to stay ahead on the score board and keep up with the PU offense led by O’Connell. The margin of error is going to be razor thin — no drives ending via pen alties like against Louisville, no progress halted by sacks like on the fourth drive against UConn. Garrett Shrader needs to stay in character as Pro Football Focus’s top-rated quarterback.
Purdue’s nine chances have ended in six points. Syracuse can pick apart an offense before it gets into the red zone, as evidenced by UConn not crossing midfield until the beginning of the second quarter. But it needs to batten down the hatches, because it’s inevitable that Purdue will get to the red zone multiple times.

KID FROM QUEBEC
All the success came after years of working with Remi Giguere, Bergeron’s trainer and mentor. The two met in 2017 when Bergeron went to a selection camp for Team Que bec’s Canada Cup team. Giguere immediately impressed when Bergeron walked into the facility for the first time. His play during the evaluation camp simply confirmed that he would be Quebec’s starting left tackle.

atthew Bergeron was a relative nobody when he traveled to Syracuse for a camp with some of his teammates in June 2018. But by midday, a few coaches had noticed him. During the oneon-one period when Bergeron went up against defensive linemen, he didn’t lose. All of the coaches soon surrounded him. People asked his mother, Annie, who had driven her three children down for the camp, if Bergeron was her son.

Lynch told Bergeron to be ready, since he could have a chance to start as a freshman, Thetford head coach Kevin Mackey said. Bergeron was in disbelief. He started five games as a first-year player in 2019.

Bergeron was the first player from Thetford to earn a Division-I scholarship. He’d also be the school’s first-ever NFL player if he enters the draft. Football is not the promi nent sport in Bergeron’s hometown of Victoriaville, Quebec. NFL prospects don’t come out of Victoriaville — or even Quebec — regularly. That’s why all of Quebec knows about Bergeron, his mother said.

The day before the Syracuse camp, Bergeron and his mom went to the University of Sherbrooke, where Giguere coached at the time, and worked on technique with his trainer for an hour to make sure he was ready.

Shortly before 6 p.m. on May 8, the evening before Mother’s Day, Amarillo (Texas) police responded to a shooting on N. Johnson Street, about 14 minutes from Tascosa High School. They found Doerue’s broth er, Chris, lying in a front yard with gunshot wounds. An ambulance rushed Chris to a nearby hospital, where he later died at the age of 25.
