Lockerbie Scholars form their own connection to Pan Am Flight 103

By Shantel Guzman asst. digital editor

rowing up just outside of Lockerbie, Scotland, Lauren Carruthers and Alicia Pagan repeatedly heard stories from their families regarding the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. They lived and understood the tragedy through the lens of others. Now that the two are Syracuse University’s 2021 Lockerbie Scholars, they are able to forge their own connections to the event that has overshadowed their town since Dec. 21, 1988. Each year, two students from Lockerbie Academy receive a scholarship to study for one year at Syracuse University.

Bringing net-zero energy to South Campus Admin call out student behavior By Richard Perrins asst. news editor

Two architecture professors are helping retrofit an apartment on Winding Ridge Road next summer in the first stage of their environmental project. The apartment and a control will then be studied to measure effectiveness. meghan hendricks asst. photo editor By Iseabail Kelley staff writer

Net-zero energy living could be coming to Syracuse University’s South Campus in the near future. Two architecture professors, Nina Sharifi and Bess Krietemeyer, are spearheading a project to create net-zero energy housing using a $1.39 million grant from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority as well as a $200,000 grant from Syracuse University as part of SU’s Climate Action Plan. Called the “living lab,” the project is a three-year, multi-stage initiative. The professors plan on retrofitting existing South Campus apartments on Winding Ridge Road, which involves renovating buildings to improve the building’s mechanical and electrical systems, saving both time and resources.

The project is meant to both cut down on energy use at SU as well as lead to findings to create a replicable model for buildings across New York state. Sharifi and Krietemeyer are working on the project with seven groups of both SU professors and outside construction firms that form a pipeline of various stages for the living lab: construction, data collection and engineering for the project. Sharifi explained how the South Campus apartments, built in 1972, have weak insulation which creates a thermal bridge, which occurs when poor insulation pushes hot and cold air out of the structure instead of keeping it inside due to flawed construction. The retrofit approach allows the team to focus on well-insulated buildings so energy demands decline and the

buildings can thrive using renewable energy resources. “In a climate like ours, we are just hemorrhaging heating energy to the exterior in the winter through these very leaky buildings that have no insulation in some cases,” Sharifi said. The team hopes that, as buildings rely on renewable energy, no energy will go to waste, Sharifi said. Lauren Staniec, founder of rehabitat, a sustainable construction company in Syracuse, explained that the best way to reverse the effects of climate change is through construction and architecture. “How do we make our buildings function with as little energy as possible?” Staniec said. “And how can we offset those energy loads with renewable energy?” Investing in energy-efficient living environments allows building owners to save money as

well, Staniec said. The team decided that the first stage of the living lab will be to find two buildings on Winding Ridge Road with the same exposure to daylight and retrofit one while leaving the other as a control variable. The construction is scheduled to be completed during next summer so the team can access the site without tenants. The team will then collect data during the school year with students living in both the retrofitted apartment building and the original apartment building to compare energy usage and determine what needs to be changed. All data will be anonymous so no students are put at risk. Parker Kulis, a student in the School of Architecture, said he felt this project would be “cool” to witness. Kulis said that living without personalized heating and cooling see living

GSO granted $1.5 million in COVID relief by SU By Richard Perrins asst. news editor

The Graduate Student Organization’s funding proposal has been approved by the office of the Syracuse University chancellor and Office of the Provost, allocating $1.5 million for graduate student support. Dean Peter Vanable of the Graduate School announced the approved proposal at the GSO Senate meeting Wednesday. He said the funding would be earmarked for pandemic-related challenges. During the summer, 15 students received graduate fellowships for this fall and upcoming spring semesters as part of this funding, Vanable said. Small grants of $3,000 or less,

used to cover expenses such as travel or small equipment requests that cannot be covered by the student’s home college, will also be available, as will funding for faculty principal investigators. The number of summer dissertation fellowships will be expanded by 10 to 20, Vanable said. He said he anticipated that requests for funding will be released in the next couple of weeks. At the meeting, Comptroller Joy Burton broke down the budget for the 2021-22 academic year. While last year’s budget totalled more than $450,000, this year’s budget will be about $338,000 — $55,000 will be allocated to Registered Student Organizations, Burton said. see gso page 4

GSO discussed business and conducted elections for vacant positions at their meeting on Wednesday richard perrins asst. news editor

Vice President for the Student Experience and Dean of Students Robert Hradsky warned against behavior that puts the health and well-being of the Syracuse University campus community at risk in a campus-wide email Wednesday. In the email, Hradsky said that the sacrifices of the last 18 months do not mean that students can disregard community standards, and he encouraged students to continue to do their part. The email said that mask wearing at SU’s first home football game on Saturday was “minimal at best.” The university is still in the “RED” level of its COVID-19 mask-wearing framework. “While we were delighted to see 5,000-plus student fans in the stadium during last weekend’s football game, mask wearing was minimal at best,” Hradsky said. “Please be advised, the stadium staff will be taking action at the upcoming game to enforce mask wearing.” As of Wednesday, SU has 163 active cases of COVID-19 on campus. SU switched to the “RED” level on Aug. 28 after an increase of cases in Onondaga County. Under the “RED” level, vaccinated and unvaccinated people are required to wear masks indoors at all times and outdoors when others are present. The only exceptions to wearing masks on campus at the “RED” level are when students are in their own dorm rooms and when vaccinated employees are alone in private spaces or working outdoors independently. Students have previously expressed concern at the lack of enforcement of the masking requirements and the tiered system. The email also said that signage displaying public health information has repeatedly gone missing since the beginning of the academic year. Videos on social media showed students carrying signage back to their residence halls, Hradsky said, and the university referred the reports to the Office of Community Standards. Hradksy said in the email that SU has received reports of “disrespectful conduct” occurring in the off-campus neighborhoods, including noise complaints, gathering on neighbors’ property, blocking driveways and improperly disposing of trash. The email said that any violation of SU’s Code of Student Conduct can be referred to the Office of Community Standards, previously the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities. Hradksy said in the email that students should continue to follow general health practices to minimize the risk of COVID-19, especially as flu and cold season approaches. “With a semester of robust activity planned, safely socializing and adhering to our public health measures are paramount,” Hradsky said. “Please do your part, and encourage others to do so as well.” rcperrin@syr.edu @richardperrins2

lockerbie Flight 103 crashed in the town. The crash killed all 259 people on board, including 35 SU students returning home from their semester abroad. The scholars also represent former Lockerbie Scholar Andrew McClune who died while on campus in 2002. For the 2021-22 academic year, 16 students from Lockerbie Academy applied for the two spots to study at SU. After a lengthy application process, SU awarded Carruthers and Pagan the two scholarships. “It’s very known from day one when you get (to Lockerbie Academy) this is what’s available to you,” Carruthers said. “You go (to Syracuse) to represent the 11 victims and Andrew. It’s very sought after.” After two canceled flights and a 24-hour travel day, Carruthers and Pagan arrived in Syracuse on Aug. 22. Carruthers knew she wanted to pursue this scholarship once she began studying at Lockerbie Academy. For her, the scholarship meant more than just the opportunity to study abroad. “Being a Lockerbie Scholar is the biggest honor I could get,” Carruthers said. “I’m in a from page 1

Caps and gowns are required attire for graduates. If students do not have their caps and gowns with an appropriate tassel from 2020, they can go to the lower level of the Campus Store for assistance. Graduates can enter the stadium through gates E, F, G, H, N or P. Graduates should be seated by 9:15 a.m., and they may choose their own seat on the turf. The ceremony will be approximately two hours long, and it will also be live-streamed. The stadium has a clear bag policy, and all guests and graduates will walk through a metal detector. Graduates can get cap and gown portraits taken on the Quad anytime from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Though graduates are expected to preregister for these events, walk-ins will be

“I wasn’t personally ready to go to uni back home,” Carruthers said. “I felt like I needed a bit of time to just find myself to realize what I wanted. I just needed a bit of time to further learn, but not in a uni perspective. I just needed to learn about myself and where I’m from.” Having always grown up with the knowledge of the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing, Pagan felt the magnitude of coming to Syracuse and representing her town. “All our parents grew up around it,” Pagan said. “My mom actually saw the plane fly over just before it (crashed), so it’s a big thing back at home, and it’s really great to be able to come here and represent the whole little town and have everyone know about it.” When Pagan arrived in Syracuse, she was surprised to discover that not many freshmen knew about the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing. For her, being a scholar is an opportunity to educate SU students about the tragedy. “A lot of freshmen don’t actually know about (Pan Am 103), which is quite interesting because I thought they would,” Pagan said. “I like to be able to educate

them on it.” For this year’s Remembrance Week, Carruthers and Pagan will continue educating students on the events of Pan Am Flight 103 bombing. Carruthers will represent the Lockerbie 11, and Pagan will represent McClune. During Remembrance Week, which is Oct. 17-23, Carruthers and Pagan will speak about the victims they represent. “We give a short speech on … how they were amazing people, and it was tragic that we lost them,” Pagan said. “(We) just educate everyone on the Lockerbie aspect of Pan Am 103, so everyone knows that there is that distinct connection between Lockerbie and Syracuse.” The scholarship provides a bridge between Lockerbie and Syracuse, Carruthers said. The scholars feel like they are rewriting the tragedy of Pan Am Flight 103 by creating their own connections. “If this scholarship didn’t exist we’d have a very negative connotation between Syracuse and Lockerbie, because it’s the disaster. But the positive of it is that this exists, and people from Lockerbie can come here,’’ Carruthers said.

Pre-screening will also take place on Friday, Saturday and on Sunday from 7:30-9:30 a.m. All graduates and guests must wear masks at all times during events regardless of vaccination status. Check-in is required for all graduates and guests. SU recommends that individuals check in on Friday. Check-in will take place on Friday at Huntington Beard Crouse Hall from 4-6 p.m. After 6:30 p.m., check-in will either be held at HBC or in front of the Physics Building on the Quad. On Saturday, people can check in at the Schine Student Center from 9:30-11:30 a.m. Graduates and guests may check-in at the Goldstein Alumni and Faculty Center if they wish to go to the smaller and quieter check-in location away from Schine.

Logistics and COVID-19 protocols

In order to enter the stadium, graduates and attendees must meet one of the following requirements: • Provide proof of complete vaccination where at least 14 days have passed since the attendee’s final dose. • Provide a negative PCR test that has been administered within 72 hours of the event. • Provide a negative antigen test that has been administered within six hours of the event. • Children between five and 11 years old must provide a negative PCR test or antigen test that meets the requirements listed above. • Children under four years old do not need to provide a negative test or show proof of vaccination. from page 3

living lab preferences in dorms is frustrating and contributes to wasting energy. “Heat is just pumped in, so then people open their windows to cool down their room. But it’s wasting energy. I’m guilty of that because I’m just not comfortable in the rooms, ” Kulis said. Kulis is living on South Campus this year and said that he has already returned to old habits of opening windows to get his desired temperature. The team doesn’t want the project to live in a bubble.

Yousr Dhaouadi, the president of GSO, said that the organization is looking at space in Lyman Hall for a graduate student hub on campus after the Marshall Square Mall proved too expensive. Dhaouadi also announced that rollover funds, the unspent funds from GSO’s budget which have accumulated over the last few years, have been approved for use by SU administration. The GSO also elected new members of their executive board at the meeting via ranked choice voting. If a candidate received over 50 percent of the first vote, they were automatically elected to the position for the entirety of the academic year. The nominees for financial secretary included Shiilā Seok Wun Au Yong, a third year Ph.D. student in the School of Education; Aditya Shah, a graduate student in the School of Information Studies, and Irving Gonzalez, a first-year Master’s candidate for public administration in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. The three answered questions before the committee before Yong was elected to the position with 15 votes.

Embrace your personal style at SU SU abroad prioritizes COVID safety By Our Reader

illustration by chloe perline asst. illustration editor By Julia Kahen columnist

uch of Syracuse University’s student body is made up of Generation Z. Born after 1996, Gen Z has little to no recollection of what life was like before the digital age — before smartphones, the Internet and social media — and as a result, an alternate reality of sorts has been created. Because of the cyber-reality the digital age has created, there are now two versions of every individual: the raw, unfiltered version seen by the naked eye and the one that solely exists within the confines of digital devices. As SU students navigate their years as young adults it is important to discern these two realities and realize that the authenticity in the real world is much more important than what is seen online. This basic principle can be applied to many aspects of college life. A good way to make this discernment is to think about the term “trendy vs. timeless.” Social media makes it very easy for something to be trendy one day and tacky the next. For example, it is common to see many SU students wearing essentially the same thing on any given day. Nike Air Force 1s, “mom” jeans and a neutral-colored crop top on a warm day; black Dr. Martens, a cropped sweater and a puffer jacket from The North Face on a cold day. When Instagram photos are involved, these outfits may be upgraded with the addition of “patchwork” pants ordered from SHEIN, a trendy clothing website.

Even a sweater vest, nearly identical to one that a tax accountant might wear, can be paired with a collared shirt and sunglasses for a so-called “chic” look. On a night out, scarves are now acceptable substitutes for tops, if they’re twisted in the right way. SU students should ask themselves: “Is what I’m wearing actually timeless, or just a trend?” In other words, will these clothing pieces be seen in closets in ten years? Or are they nothing more than a reflection of trends ostentatiously displayed on social media? Developing a genuine, timeless style is something that can communicate a multitude of things about a person. A graphic tee with a beloved band on it, for example, can connect two people who might have never spoken otherwise. Rings of various sizes and shapes can spark a conversation about where each piece was from, whether it was passed down from a grandmother or it was found in the “one dollar bins” at a thrift store. Carhartt hats could imply that a person is from the Midwest or East Coast, while a hat from Jack’s Surfboards hints that they are from a coastal city in California. We are a compilation of everywhere we have been and every person we have met. It would be a shame for SU students to continue to conform to trends rather than embrace who they are and where they came from, as the student body comes from all 50 states and 120 countries, making the possibilities of fashion and style around campus so exciting.

Students at SU should try their best to not let the pressure to conform to trends come in the way of displaying their diverse backgrounds and histories. This “trendy vs. timeless” theme can also be applied to friendships and relationships on campus. Senior Ariel Samuel said that she believes that students should take their time picking their friends. “Don’t rush it! I don’t talk to a single person who I met in the first weeks of college, with the exception of my freshman roommate who I still live with,” Samuel said. “That is a pretty universal experience. I have always been the type of person to have a few close friends rather than a large group of friends and I think that has definitely had a positive impact on my college experience.” Like a classic pair of Levi’s jeans, a good friendship or relationship must be carefully selected. Oftentimes you have to try on a few pairs before finding the right fit. Once found, though, that person can contribute so much to your life — they can grow with you, the threads of your friendship fitting better as the years pass. When SU students learn the value of timeless things in their life, whether that be a friend or a leather jacket, they will see their quality of life soar. Mutable trends and people may be enticing in the moment, but what’s real in life are the things that last forever.

write in reply to Eleanor Chapman’s opinion piece published in The Daily Orange’s Sept. 13 print edition. I applaud Chapman’s reminder to students that they are “guests” visiting their host countries, and that studying abroad is a privilege, not a right. I particularly call attention to the writer’s admonition that students should have “respect for their host countries and the efforts they’ve taken to curb the spread of COVID-19.” I could not agree more. I would note that Syracuse Abroad is supporting study in five international locations this fall: Strasbourg, France; Florence, Italy; Wroclaw, Poland; Madrid and London. In each case, faculty and staff, both in Syracuse and abroad, have worked tirelessly to support a safe experience that fully embraces local COVID-19 mitigation efforts and all regulations regarding entry into the host country. We expect to continue these efforts for both students currently studying abroad as well as for those planning to study in the spring of 2022.

Moreover, Syracuse Abroad supported successful study experiences in Florence in the spring of 2021 and in Florence, London and Madrid in the summer of 2021. There were very few documented cases of COVID-19 in either study abroad period. Lastly, I am aware of only one instance in which a student was not respectful of local rules, and this behavior was acknowledged, addressed and not repeated. Whether abroad or local to Syracuse, we are all faced with the challenge of being thoughtful about and respectful of local COVID-19 mitigation efforts. International travel and cultural immersion have always required additional effort to expand one’s thinking, to see the world differently and to respect others. I hope everyone will consider Chapman’s thoughtful piece and attend one of the many events highlighting study abroad opportunities this week. Hop into one of our more than 20 virtual events. I’d be most pleased to discuss specific health and safety efforts for any of our study abroad programs. Seth A. Tucker Director, Global Safety and Support Syracuse University

Resumed By Alexandra Nicole Santiago Molina contributing writer

n Tuesday, Mar. 10, 2020, SU sent an email that said in-person classes were suspended and classes would be delivered online after Friday of that week. The move online lasted the semester, and the transition to virtual learning was a rollercoaster for many students. Prior to the pandemic, most students had probably never taken a full course load entirely online. When classes went remote, professors had

The Daily Orange spoke with three professors who shared their experiences of working remotely then transitioning back to in-person classes this semester.

Band brings blues and more to Funk ‘n Waffles By Luisana Ortiz

contributing writer

With its unceasing energy, one would never have guessed that the Gabe Stillman Band had arrived from Rockland, Maine, just the night before — a nearly eight-hourlong car ride. The Gabe Stillman Band headlined Tuesday evening at Funk ‘n Waffles, the live music venue and waffles restaurant on S Clinton Street. In the two-hour set, frontman Gabe Stillman brought nothing but pure guitar prowess and showmanship as guitar and lead vocals for the band. Stillman was supported by Colin Beatty on bass and Ray Hangen on drums, and the whole

band never seemed to tire out. “I like to put on a show and have fun. It’s just what I do,” Stillman said. “I don’t even think about doing it; if I feel like jumping, I jump.” The band had recently performed at the New York State Blues Festival on June 24, which many members of the crowd said they attended. The band is currently touring for its latest release, “Just Say the Word,” currently charting at No. 11 on the Blues Billboard Chart. “I’ve been hearing about Gabe for a couple of years, but things haven’t lined up till now,” Funk ‘n Waffles’ talent buyer Charley see stillman page 8

The first thing readers see as they pick up the 2021 edition of ARISE’s UNIQUE magazine is “Life’s Canopy,” a painting reminiscent of a stained-glass window: red, blue and yellow irregular shapes outlined by black paint. The piece is by local Syracuse artist Constance Avery, who said it was inspired by her brother who used to work on stained glass windows and has retinitis pigmentosa, an eye disease that prevents him from being able to use his peripheral vision. “My youngest brother had RP … he did stained-glass windows, so my main influence I think to a lot of my line drawing or painting is the stained-glass that my brother restored,” Avery said.

I actually feel really honored and humbled ... When I see all of the artwork that is submitted to the UNIQUE show, there (are) a lot of wonderful and talented people that are disabled out there. Constance Avery local artist

Avery, who also has retinitis pigmentosa, is one of nearly 60 artists featured in this year’s presentation of the UNIQUE magazine and exhibit at the Everson Museum of Art. It is her second time being chosen as the cover artist for the magazine. ARISE, which annually publishes the UNIQUE magazine, is a Syracuse organization that helps to support people with disabilities in gaining independence. Classified as an Independent Living Center, ARISE has five main characteristics. These characteristics include the organization being run by people with disabilities, that it is located in the community it serves, and that it does not operate a residential facility and it helps people live independently. Lastly, ARISE is a nonprofit organization that serves people of all ages with any disability. “We serve people with physical disabilities, sensory disabilities, developmental and intellectual disabilities,” ARISE CEO Tania Anderson said. “We do everything from employment to skillbuilding, to building ramps for see arise page 8

virtual American Studies and professor of Writing Studies, Rhetoric, and Composition, said there are a lot of personal aspects to teaching that are lost when classes move online. “There’s a level of interpersonal connection that you can’t get on Zoom — people are not able to make eye contact and give each other visual cues that are a natural part of communication,” she said. Agnew said she noticed many students experienced Zoom fatigue — such as eye-strain due to sitting in front of computers for long stretches of time and anxiety from constantly looking at themselves on the monitor. Shannon M. Sweeney, a professor of psychology, said that students find it easier to disengage when class is remote, partially because they do not feel like they have a relationship with the professor that is teaching the course. “One of the cons comes back to not having from page 7

people’s houses.” ARISE’s UNIQUE program is a reflection of the organization’s overall mission to create a local community that every person can fully participate in, as stated on its website. This year’s showcase at the Everson Museum of Art began on Aug. 19 and will run until Sept. 26. The program gives members of the community with disabilities the opportunity to have an outlet for creative expression, Anderson said. Although the magazine portion of the UNIQUE program has been published for over 20 years, the exhibit at Everson is only in its second year, according to the website. “We love this annual partnership with ARISE because it allows us to connect with artists in the central New York community and gives museum visitors the chance to see work they might not encounter otherwise,” from page 7

stillman Orlando said. “He has a great buzz from his Blues Fest performance, so it was just the right time to pull him in.” One concertgoer was ecstatic about the opportunity to see Stillman live once again after having seen him at the blues festival. “His guitar ability, his stage presence and his command of the guitar really spoke to me (at the festival),” he said. Stillman first picked up the guitar at age 11 and continued to take lessons throughout middle and high school. Shortly after graduating from Berklee College of Music in 2015, Stillman started forming the band with bass player Beatty after moving back to his hometown of Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Hangen joined the trio on drums in 2019. Stillman’s first guitar teacher introduced him to the blues, he said. “He started showing me all these blues licks on the guitar, and I just kind of got it. And I was amazed that I could make music all of a sudden.” Stillman said. “From there, I got sucked in and fell into its rabbit hole.” It is hard for Stillman to pin down just

that same energy and responsiveness,” Sweeney said. “(With) pre-recorded videos, (it) is much harder for me to know when students are missing out on the content … because I am not having that kind of feedback that I would otherwise have.” However, there are a multitude of advantages to remote classes for both students and professors. Agnew said she found it easier to incorporate external media and have people work in groups, and that students seemed to feel more at ease asking her to meet outside of class on Zoom than they did face-to-face. It was also simpler to open and close breakout rooms than to ask people to choose who they wanted to work with and to attempt to get everyone’s attention once the allotted time for discussion was over, Agnew said. Additionally, she said, she was pleased with students’ commitment. “The students were taking classes from all over the globe,” she said. “It really impressed me that people were working said Steffi Chappell, the museum’s assistant curator. The museum is located in downtown Syracuse and is open to visitors from noon to 5 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Sunday. It is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and noon to 8 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month. Admission is $8 for adults and $6 for students. When it comes to having her work showcased in the UNIQUE exhibit, Avery said what excites her most is being able to share the way she sees the world with an audience that wouldn’t normally be able to see through her eyes. Having to constantly explain her RP to other people is one thing, but getting to display her view on canvas is what Avery loves about her art. “When I can get my work out there and people can see, the response from that is what keeps me going and motivated.” @thekotacola dcchambe@syr.edu

one aspect, or even artist, of the genre that has influenced him the most, but that is what he said he likes about it. Stillman loves the deep history of blues music and how it’s evolved and grown into its own element over the years. Stillman picked up a wide range of outside influences while in college at Berklee, he said. “There’s people from all over the world making every kind of music you can think of and then some, and that opened me up and exposed me to all these other genres,” Stillman said. He also strives for genuine connection while performing on stage; though visibly exhausted, Stillman spoke to every single audience member that went up to him. “Playing live, it’s not about the music, or the artist,” he said. “If you can stay out of the way, play from your heart and play for your audience, that’s all it is,” Stillman said. “We’re all looking for that sense of community.” The band will continue its national tour through next year, with upcoming tour dates in the rest of the state. Fans can stream the band’s album through most major music streaming services. lsortiz@syr.edu

hard, continuing to enjoy the class even when there was a challenge with time, with connections, with health.” Although in-person learning is still preferable for Agnew, Sweeney and Freeman, the professors learned some lessons from remote teaching that they are now bringing into their in-person classrooms, they said. Agnew said she learned to be more explicit with students to allow them to navigate the course “more independently.” Sweeney said she took the opportunity to try out a different teaching method called the “flip classroom” model. With this routine, students learned the content on their own through videos and class time was devoted to the application of what they learned. Another benefit to remote learning is that professors have become more wary of the possibility of students getting sick, Freeman said. For a lot of professors, virtual learning made their classes more inclusive and

accessible for all students. Sweeney said that students may be more comfortable contributing their thoughts in a live chat or Blackboard threads than raising their hands in the classroom. Also, students that have English as a second language can pause the videos to look up words that they don’t understand, she said. “For disability accommodations, I had to repeat what the students said to me and then answer,” Freeman said. “The students could speak to each other and to me in real time. It was great.” Freeman said he enjoyed having students’ comments in the chat in real-time, giving them the opportunity to interact with each other. He highlights the friendships that were formed and the willingness of students to help one another. “That community is not something I built, it’s something that the students built,” Freeman said. asanti03@syr.edu

shrader interest from several schools, including LSU and Oklahoma, that he didn’t even want to visit. LSU’s head coach Ed Orgeron, who has a heavy Louisiana accent, called Shrader, but the only thing Shrader took away from the conversation was that he “couldn’t understand a word he said,” Tracey recalled. Throughout his recruiting process, Shrader developed a close relationship with Joe Moorhead, then the offensive coordinator and QBs coach at Penn State. Moorhead was easy to talk to, Christie said, and “very personable.” But Shrader feared Moorhead would leave Penn State for a better job — which he did in 2018, when he became the head coach at Mississippi State. The Bulldogs already had a quarterback committed, but Moorhead offered Shrader a spot, and Shrader committed. “He likes an underdog,” Christie said. “He likes to be in a situation where he can make something better … He really wanted the opportunity to help a team grow and to get better, and I think he saw that at Mississippi State under Coach Moorhead.” Like high school, Shrader became the starting quarterback his freshman year at MSU. He appeared in 10 games, making four starts, and was one of three Football Bowl Subdivision from page 12

williams Pena misplayed multiple punt returns, and SU recorded three illegal formation penalties while punting. Williams was briefly replaced by backup Colby Barker, but Barker’s only punt traveled just eight yards. “There were numerous mistakes in the kicking game,” head coach Dino Babers said postgame. “I thought the kicking game cost us as much as the offense not scoring many points.” Williams is Syracuse’s next punter in line, following former Syracuse punters Riley Dixon, Sterling Hofrichter and Nolan Cooney — all of whom signed with NFL teams after graduating from SU. Dixon is in his sixth year as a starting punter in the NFL, and Hofrichter appeared in 16 games with the Atlanta Falcons last year. Cooney was waived by the New Orleans Saints, but he received third-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference honors after one season as the Orange’s starting punter. But more importantly, he helped mentor Williams last season. “Obviously I’m my own person,” Williams said. “It feels good to have people and know the standard of what to expect at practice and how to handle things like that to the point where I could be in the NFL.” Dixon became the second former SU punter to be taken in the NFL draft. He arrived at Syracuse in 2011, the year after four-year starter Rob Long graduated. Long mentored Dixon when he was in graduate school at SU during Dixon’s early years as starting punter. Dixon was two inches taller and nearly 30 pounds heavier than Long, but Long said Dixon needed confidence to live up to his potential — something Long was able to provide. By his senior year, Dixon was a semifinalist for the Ray Guy Award — given to the nation’s top punter — and was taken in the NFL draft the following spring. In 2015, Dixon’s successor, Hofrichter, studied under him. Hofrichter said when he arrived at SU, he was always trying to “kill” the football and punt as far as possible. But Dixon told Hofrichter to instead focus on being smooth and hitting a clean punt. The following year, Hofrichter was a freshman All-American. As he went through his collegiate career, Hofrichter worked on the direction and hang time of his punts. By 2019, he was a first-team All-American and the second straight Syracuse punter to be selected in the NFL draft. Cooney followed Hofrichter as the starting punter after four years sitting behind him. Cooney helped Hofrichter throughout his career, serving as “another set of eyes” for Hofrichter from the sidelines, Hofrichter said. He told Hofrichter when he looked too quick on his punts or if his hands were too twitchy from page 12

QBs to account for 1,000 yards passing and 500 yards rushing. Shrader’s willingness to put his body on the line made him go viral. But after the 2019 season, Moorhead was fired and replaced by Mike Leach. Leach brought in his Air Raid offensive scheme that emphasized getting the ball out of the quarterback’s hands as fast as possible. Leach made it clear that he didn’t want his quarterbacks — including Shrader — to run, even if it was one of their strong suits, Christie said. Leach also made a comment that the next step for all the quarterbacks on his roster would be coaching. This was “demotivating” to Shrader, who has long dreamed of playing in the NFL, his parents said. Shrader didn’t think there was a quarterback better than him on the roster, but he was forced to move to receiver and special teams and left the Bulldogs for the transfer portal in October. “He just knew he was a quarterback — which he is,” Tracey said. “And he’s a good one.” Shrader ended up deciding between Virginia Tech and Syracuse. The Hokies’ quarterback, Hendon Hooker, announced he was entering the transfer portal on Dec. 17. Shrader questioned why a starting quarterback would want to leave a school, Tracey said, but two days later he committed to Syracuse. During the transfer process, he developed a catching snaps. When given a chance to start in 2020, Cooney averaged 44.8 yard per punt, the highest single-season average in program history. After going undrafted, Cooney signed with the New Orleans Saints, becoming the third straight SU punter to sign with an NFL team. “There’s a bar that is set by the guy prior to you,” Long said. “I know Riley wanted to beat what I had done and Nolan, and Sterling after Riley. I think it’s just that competitive fury that we’ve all had.” When he committed to SU in June 2019, Williams was ranked one of the top 10 kickers in the country by Rivals and ESPN. Like the punters before him, Williams studied under his predecessor. Both Williams and Cooney do punts and kickoffs, and Williams said Cooney taught him how to correctly handle the speed of a Division I game. In high school, Williams punted and kicked for Athens Academy (Georgia). He came into his freshman year handling outside linebacker, wide receiver and special teams duties, but he stuck to just punting and kicking once he arrived at Athens. In his freshman year, Williams only did kickoffs and long-range field goals while sitting behind Drew Byus, who later walked on as a kicker at Georgia. Williams and Byus worked on kicking direction and performing under pressure during their one year together, Athens assistant Ken Whitehead said. Throughout his high school years, Williams learned how to rest his leg and be more accurate with the placement of his kicks, Whitehead said. “He had the boom. He had the leg. He just had to learn how to control it and how to put the ball where he wanted,” Whitehead said. Williams also attended camps with Kohl’s Kicking, where he worked with regional instructor Anthony Giugliano. When Giugliano first saw Williams, he was impressed by the punter’s frame, along with his flexibility — something he considers “rare” for a player with Williams’ stature. He compared Williams to Dixon, noting their build, hands and dropping skills are similar. Giugliano taught Williams to concentrate by doing instead of overthinking, he said. The two worked on hand-eye coordination and being quick with hand and drop movements on punts. Punters need to work on being able to drop the ball toward their foot the same every single time, Giugliano said. Once Williams’ drops were more consistent, the two started working on ball-foot contact. “I would say he’s done more drops in the last year to year-and-a-half than he’s probably done his whole life,” Giugliano said. “That translates over to consistent hits the majority of the time ... So a lot of work goes into (that) for him and for every punter, is how they attack the ball, how nation mandate in place for all employees and students, except for those with medical or religious exemptions. CDC guidelines do not require those who are vaccinated to quarantine if they come in close contact with someone who tested positive.

close relationship with SU offensive coordinator Sterlin Gilbert, who designs his offense around the quarterback’s skillset — something Shrader liked. After arriving as a January enrollee, Shrader got to work learning SU’s offense. Toward the end of summer practices, he said he felt “light-years ahead” of where he was in the spring. Gilbert called the same plays for him and returning starter DeVito despite the differing skill sets between the two, as Babers searched for an “outright winner” in the quarterback competition. Babers named DeVito the week one starter but said he planned before the Rutgers game to give both quarterbacks playing time. Saturday’s game against Football Championship Subdivision opponent Albany could provide a better opportunity for Syracuse to find the true winner of the battle before Atlantic Coast Conference play begins. “There’s a big learning curve, so it’s kind of hard to throw you in there and be four or five years behind somebody,” Shrader said in August. “I feel like I’ve been given an opportunity, and I just got to continue working to get better.” The differences between DeVito and Shrader extend further than just their football abilities. While DeVito is a North Jersey product who attended Don Bosco Prep High

School, Shrader is a southerner and an “old soul,” his dad said. Shrader is an introverted outdoorsman who loves to hunt and cut down trees. He stays off social media and instead listens to Charley Pride and Hank Williams Sr. He even taught himself the guitar after his mother made him take an intro to public speaking course in high school instead of a guitar class. After entering the transfer portal and finishing his semester at Mississippi State, Shrader got his pilot’s license. When asked about Shrader’s unique offthe-field persona, Estep laughed, saying “he’s a different cat.” But that didn’t matter when Shrader jogged out onto the Carrier Dome field against Rutgers. From there, it was about displaying the toughness ingrained in him from a young age and proving he could be the dual-threat, point-producing quarterback that he was before coming to Syracuse. His only drive against RU ended without points, but Shrader’s abilities as a runner and passer gave the Orange their secondlongest possession of the half. “He’s going to be prepared to play, and he thinks he’s better than everybody else out there,” Estep said. csmith49@syr.edu @csmith17_

they catch it, how they hold it, how they drop it.” Williams’ high number of reps increased his execution and consistency on punts since his sophomore year at Athens, Giugliano said. By his senior year, Williams gave Athens four to five touchbacks per game and could pin opposing teams inside their own 20-yard line whenever asked, Whitehead said. In one game against Stephens County (Georgia) High School in 2019, Williams had so much hang time on his punt that the punt returner got nervous, Whitehead said, muffing the ball. Athens recovered it inside the 20-yard line. The Spartans won the game 49-19 and went 11-1 that season, making an appearance in the state championship for the second straight year. When Williams made his first start at Syracuse in week one against Ohio, Babers said his punter was entering a “spooky” situation as a freshman specialist on the road. Williams dropped two punts inside the 20-yard line in that game, but against Rutgers, Williams and the rest of the special teams unit showed its inexperience, Babers said. “When you’re back there and you’re in front of those crowds, you need freshmen to grow up in those situations. Everybody’s going to have their first kick. Everybody’s going to have their first kick blocked as a freshman,” Babers said. “They grow up, they get better.” Williams and Babers both denied that SU’s lack of a specific special teams coordinator

has hurt them so far this season. Syracuse’s previous special teams coordinator, Justin Lustig, left for an assistant job at Vanderbilt after last season. Lustig helped coach Hofrichter and Cooney, as well as Szmyt — who was given the Lou Groza Award for the country’s top kicker in 2018. Babers chose not to fill the coordinator vacancy, instead choosing to share the responsibility among multiple assistants on his staff, he said. Now, Williams and the rest of the special teams group practice day-to-day with other assistants like Blair Cavanaugh. The group starts with field goals — which Williams usually doesn’t participate in — before moving into kickoffs and punts. The unit then has the rest of practice off, and they usually leave the field to work on other drills away from the rest of the team, Williams said. Coming off their first loss of the season, Williams and the Orange have 10 games remaining, starting Saturday against UAlbany. While Williams and others may have appeared slightly rattled against Rutgers, Giugliano said Williams’ overall consistency as a punter will show as Syracuse’s next punter in line, following in the footsteps of Dixon and Hofrichter. “It doesn’t matter if he’s playing an FCS school for the first game at the Dome in Syracuse or if he’s punting backed up in the end zone in Death Valley at Clemson,” Giugliano said, “he’s going to hit the same ball every time.”

The statement provided made no mention of quarantining. In the event that Babers does test positive and develop symptoms, he’ll need to isolate for 10 days and would likely miss SU’s matchup with Albany on Saturday at noon.

As of Wednesday evening, there are 163 active COVID-19 cases among SU students, staff and faculty, according to the university’s COVID dashboard.
