Two veteran journalists from The Fresno Bee are transferring their expertise from the newsroom to the classroom at Fresno State. Jim Boren and Donald Munro have begun teaching media, communications and journalism (MCJ) courses at the university. Their first day teaching was Jan. 16. Boren recently retired as executive editor of The Bee after nearly 50 years in the business, Munro served as one of The Bee’s top cultural arts writers for 16 years. Boren and Munro will offer hands-on, professional experience as well as new perspectives from which students can learn, said MCJ professor and chair-elect Betsy Hays. “I think it’s always wonderful when you look at a student’s transcript at the end of

40 years ago. “When you think of bookends as being these solid supports at both ends with a bunch of creative stuff in the middle, that’s one way of looking at [the exhibition],” Hansen said.

“Bookends” is separated into sections, each devoted to a period in Hansen’s life and the work he created. Included in the exhibition are the political cartoons he drew for the Daily Collegian as an art student, where his career got its start. “At that time there was a lot of unrest because especially in the English faculty, a lot of them were speaking out against the administration here on campus and they had a protest after they were locked out of their offices by President [Norman A.] Baxter,” Hansen said.

The unrest at Fresno State at the start of the 1970s mirrored the overall political climate at the time and ultimately influenced the kind of work Hansen did for the Daily Collegian. He was occasionally given a full page dedicated to whatever comic he decided to create for that day. “They didn’t tell me what to draw,” Hansen said. “It was like ‘fill up the page;’ That’s all they cared about.” One of his first comics for the Daily Collegian was titled “1984.” It focused on what the campus might look like years ahead from the 1970s, focusing specifically on what it would look like for minority students, the issue of freedom of speech, and commenting of the governor of California at the time, Ronald Reagan. Hansen has collected the comics over the years and will showcase them alongside his other works. After graduating, Hansen went to work for The Fresno Bee as their newsroom artist and as an author and illustrator of children’s books. “I had a feature [in the Fresno Bee] called ‘Fresno Sketchbook’ and I would drive around, draw pictures of whatever was interesting to me, talk to people or research it, and then hand-letter whatever it is I found out about,” Hansen said. Alongside his features, which were later collected into two books, he illustrated stories in The Bee for David Mas Masumoto, a local author. Those illustrations were also collected into two books. All of these works come together in “Bookends,” showing the progression of an young, unrefined and “immature” Hansen to who he is today. “Illustration can be very powerful and I hope people will come to some appreciation, not just look at the artwork but think about how the pictures work with the text in every circumstance to create something special which is an illustration,” Hansen said.

their time here that they’ve had a chance to take [classes with] many, many brilliant minds,” Hays said. “They’re both very interested in giving back and helping train the next generation of journalists.” Boren is teaching two sections of the upper division writing course MCJ 102W, which is a hands-on news reporting course. As a Fresno State alumnus and MCJ graduate, Boren said he is glad to give back to a program that was impactful to him. “[Students] are going to learn reporting skills and writing skills, so my goal at the end of the semester is to have them being

embers of the Arts and Humanities Advisory Board and support-

ers of the college attended the “State of the College of Arts and Humanities” event last week to celebrate achievements and to look forward to their goals in the new year. Faculty and staff also attended.

“It [was] a combination of expressing thanks, appreciating the hard work of all the faculty for the students and supporting the donors who make your scholarships possible,” Associate Dean Honora Chapman said.

Highlighted achievements, among other community involvement programs, included the 60th anniversary of the Peach Blossom Festival and the Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA) annual touring performances.

The TYA tour, which has been around for over 50 years, has traveled to more than 40 schools and performed plays for more than 16,000 students, Dean Saul Jimenez-Sandoval said. “Every day, you confirm the fact that, indeed, the arts and humanities are at the heart of everything we do in this society,” Jimenez-Sandoval said. Chapman and Jimenez-Sandoval also spoke about the future of the College of Arts and Humanities. The President’s Commission on the future of the arts and humanities department is exploring new academic and artistic spaces for the university, Jimenez-Sandoval said. Chapman said the university plans to hire 13 new professors and increase the tenure density. Fresno State alumna Alejandra Tejeda, who ended the event with a musical performance, said, “It’s truly an honor to be in this school and to be able to be given the opportunities that I never thought I could have.” Tejeda took part in a student-produced opera and attended the 2018 National Opera Association Conference in New Orleans sponsored by the university and the donor-funded Dean’s Council. The event took place Thursday in the Dennis and Cheryl Woods Theatre. The evening was led by Jimenez-Sandoval and Chapman, with remarks by Academic Affairs Provost Lynnette Zelezny.

Open house planned for veteran services office By Jorge Rodriguez @jrod2763

The Fresno State Veterans Services Office has moved from the Joyal Administration Building to a bigger site in the McLane Hall Annex in an attempt to provide more space and better services to student veterans on campus. An open house event is planned for Thursday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. for anyone wishing to look inside the new offices. At the annex, the veteran services staff will have individual offices to help veterans with their school certification and other paperwork. There is also a common area with amenities like a microwave, mini fridge and a table with chairs for veterans wishing to relax between classes. Representatives say the veteran services being provided at the annex trailer are expected to remain there for about a year, then the services will move back to Joyal where they will have a permanent space. Cody Sedaño, a veterans affairs work study student and member of the Associated Students Inc., supported the move. “Moving was a challenge, but the whole campus came together and helped us out,” Sedaño said. “It’s been a slow process, but we’ll be up and running at the start of the semester.” Sedaño said more space means the center can provide more one-

He said it is an exciting time in journalism as the digital landscape allows reporters to break stories immediately. “At the heart of what we do is creating compelling stories, wonderful photos and videos and graphics that enhance our ability to tell stories about our community,” Boren said.

Munro said working on his own website after leaving The Bee has been a one-person show. The skills he utilizes – editing, writing headlines, blogging and using social media – are important for journalists to know today, he said. “The time has passed when reporters could just write,” Munro said. “They’re expected to know a lot more these days.” Another addition to the MCJ department will be Timothy Drachlis, former assistant managing editor for Newsday. He will be teaching in fall of 2018 as the Roger Tatarian Endowed Faculty Scholar in Journalism. During his lectureship and as the Tatarian chair, Drachlis will teach two journalism courses, including data journalism, Hays said. He will also coordinate symposia and lectures about journalism that will be open to the public. “The Tatarian chairs have been a beautiful addition over the years because they bring their unique perspective,” Hays said. “They provide wonderful education and professional development for the students and the community.”

Gutierrez said the move back to Joyal within a year is expected to give student veterans a larger space that can accommodate them if they want to socialize or have

meetings. “This space is for veteran students and dependents to come in and socialize,” Gutierrez said. “[Fresno State President Dr. Joseph] Castro and [Vice President for Student Affairs Frank] Llamas had told the veteran students in their forum that they will find or help them find a social space for them and this is what came out of it.”

Kaiser Permanente is expanding its health coverage free of charge to uninsured and low-income young adults who cannot afford to purchase health insurance. The Community Health Care Program’s coverage includes preventive care, medication and vision services, according to a news release from the hospital.

Williams and Carter II lead ‘Dogs

Bryson Williams and Terrell Carter II lead the ‘Dogs to a victory over the University of Nevada Las Vegas at the Save Mart Center on Jan. 23, 2018. Fresno State won 69-63.

ophomore Bryson Williams and senior Terrell Carter II combined for 38 points

Tuesday night to lead the Fresno State men’s basketball team to a 69-63 win over the University of Nevada Las Vegas during a Mountain West Conference matchup at the Save Mart Center on Tuesday.

From the opening tip, the Bulldogs forced the issue. Whether it was scoring inside the paint or stepping back and knocking down jumpers, Fresno State showed up to challenge. Williams led all scorers with

20 points on 10-14 shooting. He also added four assists and four rebounds. Although Williams padded the stat sheet with his impressive play, the plays that didn’t show up on the stat sheet, really gave his team a boost.

Fresno State fans know all about Williams prowess around the rim, but his ability to create for his teammates stood out against the Rebels. Carter II, the main beneficiary, was able to play off Williams. That gave him easy looks in the paint. Carter II was also a force on the defensive end. The Bulldogs had three blocks on the night but none more important than Carter II’s game-saving rejection late in the game. After the Rebels erased a fivepoint lead late in the second half, the Bulldogs were on the ropes. With a chance to tie the game, a UNLV guard attacked the paint hoping for a lane. But he was met with force as Carter II towered over the helpless Rebel to send his shot directly into the hardwood, bringing the Savemart Center to their feet. Fresno State capitalized on their newfound momentum and closed out the game. On a night with Mountain West implications on the line, the ‘Dogs showed up when it mattered most. Standing at 15-6, 5-3 on the season, Fresno State looks to make a deep push into the conference in hopes of making a strong postseason run. The Bulldogs face Utah State next Saturday, looking to continue their late-season push.

VOLLEYBALL

Jonathan Winder named head coach By Vanessa Romo @VanessaRomo_

Fresno State interim athletic director Steve Robertello announced on Tuesday that fourtime All-American Jonathan Winder will be the new head volleyball coach. Winder will be filling the shoes of former Fresno State head coach Lauren Netherby-Sewell. The university previously announced in November that Netherby-Sewell would not return for an 11th season after a 12-18 campaign. “Making a coaching change is never easy,” Robertello said in November. “However, at this time we feel a new voice is needed to continue to move the program forward within the Mountain West Conference.” Winder is that new voice. He was the assistant coach for the University of Washington women’s indoor volleyball program and the head coach of its beach volleyball team. Winder helped lead the Washington Huskies to a Pac-12 championship in his first and second seasons as well as a No. 1 national

ranking for several weeks. He also improved the Huskies’ beach volleyball record from 4-7 to 11-7 to finish last season No. 16 in the NCAA. Winder helped the team take third place in the Pac12 championship. Throughout his coaching career, Winder has coached six All-Pac-12 student-athletes on beach and eight All-Pac-12 selections. He recruited several Top25 student-athletes throughout the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons for indoor, including five Top-80 players. Winder also has a history with the game as a player. A Pepperdine alum, Winder helped the Waves win the NCAA championship during his freshman year and was named a second-team All-American as well as the AVCA Newcomer of the Year. He went on to become the AVCA National Player of the Year and a first-team All-American by his senior year. Winder holds the career-assists record at Pepperdine with 5,118 and is No. 5 all-time with 656 digs. Following his collegiate career, Winder joined many rosters in-

cluding the U.S. National Team; Team USA in the 2012 London Olympics; FIVB World League; the Pan American Cup and the NORCECA Men’s Continental

Championships. “I’m confident that we have made a great selection,” Robertello said Tuesday. “With Jonathan’s pedigree as an All-American play-

er and his coaching success, he had everything we were looking for. I look forward to having him meet the Red Wave and lead our program.”
