Over the years, Fresno State has had issues with students showing up to graduation intoxicated. This year, the school is planning to take action by promoting a safe celebration. “Last May’s graduation there were seven individuals who were intoxicated, and the police department didn’t make any arrests. We just handed them over to responsible individuals,” said Amy Luna, manager of emergency operations and business continuity at the Fresno State Police Department. In a study conducted by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 1,825 college students between the ages of 18 and 24 die every year from alcohol-related causes. This issue is nothing new to the community as this problem has been brought up by students in past years. Multiple approaches have been exercised in tackling this issue, yet students continue to show up to graduation intoxicated. “During the ceremony, the people behind us were disruptive and made comments that were insensitive. It didn’t completely ruin the event, but it was annoying,” said James Montague, who graduated last year with a degree in English. To combat the issue of students arriving drunk to graduation, Fresno State created several programs alongwith campus and comminuty members. “The safe celebrating pledge is a pledge that says if you decide to use alcohol, you will do so safely,” said Dr. Kimberly Robertello, alcohol, tobacco and other drugs coordinator.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
AS WE WALK OFF INTO THE SUNSET By Troy Pope @Troycpope
Another school year is coming to an end, and with that another batch of students is being sent into the real world. What have they learned? Have we actually trained the students to be competitive in the job market, or were they groomed for jobs that will keep them right here in Fresno for the rest of their lives? These are the questions our faculty and administration must ask themselves. As the head of a student newspaper, my main job is to serve needs of the student body. We often spotlight excellence in education, but we sometimes also shine a light on issues that many would prefer remained hidden from those who they serve — the students. Fresno State is 105 years old. The Collegian is 94 years old. For 94 years, we’ve tried to do what’s best to serve our student constituency. Sometimes that doesn’t make us the most popular with some administrators who’d prefer us to be a public relations arm of the college. Sometimes it means forcing conversations about matters of importance that are overlooked. The controversy surrounding our Trump piece this semester is no exception. A year ago, Donald Trump was considered a joke to many. People openly laughed at him and never took him seriously. “Another candidate will come along that the party will rally behind,” they said.
Another candidate never did. Trump is now the only Republican running for President of the United States. Our piece on Trump stirred up more controversy than we’d ever anticipated. Myself and others wrote individual pieces over the year about Trump which said a lot of the same thing that the “Sieg Heil” piece did. It wasn’t until we convened the editorial board and ran it on the front page that people actually listened. Say what you want about us — Trump is the one who said he’ll deport more than 11 million people. Trump is the one who said he’ll deny entry to people of a certain religion. We didn’t stir the pot of racial and religious tensions; that was him. He did it under the facade of security and economic stability. But is he crazy? No. He’s very rational. After all, for years the Republican platform and puppets like Fox News have stirred up the exact same fears in its constituents. “Illegals are stealing your jobs” and “Muslims are coming to get you” are extremely common themes. And they’ve successfully brainwashed much of the public. When Trump came along, he simply forced Republicans to put their money where their mouths were. They’ve been talking about it for a generation — probably since before 9/11. And now Trump is the first person to come along and actually act on their message, and yet he’s actually being opposed by the same people who spread the fear in the first place. He knows exactly what he’s doing. The purpose of our Trump piece back in February was to

force the conversation and tell Fresno State students to look what is happening in the world in which they are about to enter. Not a day went by that we didn’t hear that the piece was discussed in a class somewhere on campus — classes that had nothing to do with politics or history. We even heard that it was being discussed in some local high schools. After the storm of angry phone calls, emails, tweets and visits to our office subsided, we received floods of people from all over the community. They were from all walks of life and from various political parties. They came in and thanked us for having the courage to put ourselves out their with the
message that no one was talking about previously. This is the importance of what we do. Many higher-ups would prefer we sit down, shut up and go with the official message. But then why would we need to exist? A headline in The Fresno Bee said “After Trump-Hitler controversy, Fresno State distances itself from student newspaper.” But in the end, our college president, our department chair and our faculty adviser stood behind our First Amendment rights — whether or not they agreed with our message. We are a platform for student issues. We are a platform for education issues.
We often showcase students who do incredible things. And as I step down as The Collegian’s executive editor, I can tell you that the young adults you find working in a student newsroom are some of the hardest working you’ll find on a campus. The work takes countless hours of dedication and yet they still find time to actually be a student. The Collegian is an institution that belongs not just to us, but to all students. It’s your newspaper; it’s all of our paper. We don’t just represent Fresno State, we are Fresno State, and we’re proud to be Bulldogs.

Lecture featuring David Brooks leads to book signing and Q&A forum TIMES from Page 1 ferent from this area — my father, his mom and brother moved to lower Manhattan, Greenwich Village — I never saw a cow until I was 16.” “It was probably a little more left-wing than the Central Valley,” Brooks said to laughs. “My parents once took me to a ‘bein’ in Central Park where hippies went just ‘to be.’” “One of the things they did was set the garbage cans on fire and threw their wallets into it, to prove they didn’t care about money and material things,” Brooks said. “I saw a $5 bill inside of the garbage can, so I broke through the crowd, reached in and ran away.” “That was sort of my first step over to the right,” Brooks joked. Fresno State President Dr. Joseph Castro invited Brooks to the university after reading Brooks’ latest book, “The Road to Character” and meeting Brooks at the Aspen Institute. “I found the book and TED talk on the same subject compelling in many ways,” Castro said. “Especially its focus on the vital importance of ‘eulogy’ virtues.” “As a student and practitioner of leadership, I began to explore how the ideas in the book connected to the powerful role that Fresno State and other universities play in developing the next generation of leaders,” Castro said. Brooks also spoke up on humility and character, which are the topics his latest book deals with in its 320 pages. “The Road to Character” deals with the two parts of the lives of public figures. The first part, which is focused on achieving wealth, fame, and status, and the second part, which is cultivating the ‘eulogy’ values of kindness and honesty. Brooks encourages each person to balance both parts of their lives. In the book, Brooks goes through the personal experiences of Catholic labor activist Dorothy Day, President Dwight Eisenhower and others and details challenges each person overcame. Brooks spoke about his desire to reach a spiritual inner light that came with those eulogy values. “I’ve achieved way more career success than I ever thought I would but that inner light, I haven’t achieved that yet,” Brooks said. “I kind of believe there are four levels of happiness.” “The first is material pleasure. Then there’s ego happiness, from getting status.” The third is the pleasure received from generosity, and the fourth is transcendance, an awareness of one’s place in the cosmic order. “Levels one and two come naturally to us — we all want to achieve material pleasure and status,” Brooks said. “But level three and four are harder to get, a deep pleasure from serving others and a sense of transcendence." Following the lecture, Brooks took questions and signed books. In addition to his column for The New York Times, Brooks is a regular guest on PBS’s “NewsHour” and NPR’s “All Things Considered.” Brooks’ other books include “The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character and Achievement,” “Bobos in Paradise” and “On Paradise Drive.” The lecture was sponsored by Fresno State’s Office of the President and Ethics Center, The Fresno Bee and Valley PBS.

GROCERY
A healthy lifestyle can start with one option
By Jasmine Castrellon @TheCollegian
They do the shopping for you; all you have to do is sign up online. Fresno State students studying dietetics emphasize the importance of keeping a healthy diet by teaching students about healthy foods and offering free tours in grocery markets of healthy foods they can eat. Bulldogs in the Grocery Store are student run tours at two different Save Mart locations: 5750 N. First St., Fresno, and 1157 N. Willow Ave., Clovis, which will run through May 12. “You need food for focus and attention and to be able to sit and learn,” said Dr. Lisa Herzig, a professor for the department of food science and nutrition. “If you don’t have good nutrition you’re not going to be able to learn appropriately, and you're not going to be able to apply the information that you’re learning in the classroom. You're always going to be at a deficit.” Tours usually only take six people at a time because they want to give each student individual attention which they otherwise may not be able to do if the group was any bigger. Herzig said that during the tours, they not only show you what foods are healthy to eat, but which ones are more cost-effi-
cient and within a student’s budget. Mariya Kovalenko, a student studying dietetics, said many students don’t know that fruits and vegetables can be just as cheap as fast food. “Fruits and vegetables are nature's fast food, and that’s something that we want to emphasize,” Kovalenko said. Herzig said that after being awarded a grant from Produce For Better Health, which spans from January through June, she handed this project off to her nutrition 166 students who have done all of the coordinating. Produce For Better Health partnered up with More Matters with an emphasis for people to eat more fruits and vegetables, Herzig said. “Our goal is to take everybody to the grocery store,” Herzig said. “Even if we are eating one more serving of fruits per day or one more serving of vegetables than we used to then, we’ve made a difference. You’ve helped make a difference in their lives.” Cristen Whitaker, a dietetics student, said there is a difference between classroom teaching and hands-on learning. “We can make a difference right when they are making their purchases,” Whitaker said. “It’s one thing to show them in the classroom and teach them the importance of fruits and vegetables, but it’s a different thing to show them proper serving size, show them the actual nutrients, sodium
intake and all of the things that they need to eat and consider, and then show them the best way for purchase to their specific needs.” Yolanda Leal, a student studying dietetics and a mother of three with one on the way, said she does her best to continue eating healthy despite her busy life. “To me having a diet is just generally what you eat. It’s a lifestyle change,” Leal said. “I’ve made it a priority in my life and to my family.” Leal said the reason she made it a family priority, as well as her own, is because she wants to keep away from cardiovascular disease and Type II diabetes. Eating healthy consistently is important, Herzig said, because “Yo-yo dieting” can take a toll on your body, and bad eating can cause diabetes, cancer and other diseases. Leal said the way she keeps her kids on track is through time management and meal prepping for her kids, but she sometimes has trouble with her 6-year-old son. “I don’t know if you’ve watched “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood.” It’s a kids show, but he always says: ‘Try it because you just might like it’, so I always use that show and tell him well wouldn’t Daniel tiger want you to try it?” said Leal. Herzig said during the tours they have taste testing in order to convince people to eat healthy.
Fresno State program promotes safe alcohol consumption GRADUATION from Page 1 To combat these statistics, Robertello said Fresno State will be hosting a Bulldog Stadium Celebration. This event, which will take place on Thursday, May 12, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., offers free food and a safe place for graduates to celebrate. “We have campus radio KFSR coming to DJ the event. We’re giving away prizes. Students will be able to take pictures with the mascot,” Robertello said. “We want to provide students an area that they don’t usually have access to and give them an alternative to celebrating with alcohol at a time when they might do that.” Students who are interested in taking the safe graduation celebration pledge can go online to the Fresno State Student Health and Counseling Center’s website and sign up. Bulldog Strong is another program Fresno State has begun. It partners with local businesses that sell alcohol to commit to ethical alcohol sales, Fresno State Police Chief David Huerta said. It is an effort to promote safe alcohol consumption by Fresno State students and local businesses, so that future graduations are a more sober celebration. So far, Robertello and Huerta have met with local businesses that serve alcohol
at Campus Pointe, such as Mad Duck, the Beach Hut Deli, Wahoo’s Fish Tacos, Pieology and Dog House Grill. Within the next two to three months, they hope to contact every business that serves alcohol within a mile radius of campus. “We would like to ask business owners that serve alcohol to partner with us to act in the best interest of the students,” Robertello said. “We realize that drinking isn’t something that will happen at one location, and one business isn’t necessarily to blame for any incidents we have on campus.” Robertello and the chief have been meeting with surrounding businesses to help push the message of celebrating graduation responsibly and to educate students on doing so. “I have already met with Kimberley and the chief. We are always in support of drinking responsibly and being an adult responsible for your actions,” said Matt Billingsley, the general manager of Dog House Grill. In 2013, Dog House Grill canceled its pregraduation celebration in compliance to former vice presidents Paul Oliaro’s request that it do so, to ensure a flawless and safe ceremony. This year, Dr. Frank Lamas, vice president for student affairs and enrollment
management, stated in an email to students: “Drinking and misconduct by even a few would be disturbing to the graduates, faculty and guests who expect and deserve a safe, orderly and dignified ceremony.” The decorum of the commencement expectations states that graduation ceremonies are drug and alcohol free events and have a zero-tolerance policy that will be enforced. Students who are intoxicated will not be allowed to participate in the ceremony and will be removed. “What Kimberley and the chief are looking to do is make the point to young students that you can have a good time. You can do things you want to do. You just don’t need to make it a belligerent moment,” said Billingsley. This year, Fresno State and businesses are taking a different approach to the issue. Instead of businesses closing down completely, the Bulldog Strong campaign seeks to educate students. Dog House Grill will be open for graduates Friday and Saturday morning at 6 to 10 a.m., said Billingsley. He said it will be serving breakfast, along with drink specials both days. He emphasized that the day is a family event where people come in to celebrate their achievements with the ones they love.

Exercise science program gains national recognition
Fresno State students collect exercise intensity data to help establish aerobic exercise intensity prescription for athletic events on May 5, 2016.
By Julissa Zavala @TheCollegian
The exercise science option in the Fresno State department of kinesiology was recently acknowledged by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) as one of the few “educationally recognized programs” in the country. Kinesiology has four options, including physical education, sports administration, athletic training and exercise science, said
Dr. Mark Baldis, coordinator of the exercise science option. He said that of the four options, exercise science is the biggest with more than half of all the kinesiology majors. Exercise science majors usually go into either the health and fitness industry or into the clinical and medical field, Baldis said. Fresno State’s exercise science program is one of about 50 schools worldwide to be given this recognition, Baldis said. The NSCA is one of the two major organizations within the
exercise science option and is a worldwide organization that primarily certified personal trainers as well as tactical strength and conditioning coaches. Baldis said the exercise science program applied for the NSCA recognition, which consisted of curriculum, course and syllabus reviews. “The NSCA then came back and said that we had met their standard for what’s called an ‘educational recognition program,’” Baldis said. “Our program teaches all of the content areas and covers

all the material necessary for any one of the NSCA’s certifications.” Baldis said some of the highest-level courses exercise science students take include fitness and wellness, exercise physiology, biomechanics, clinical exercise physiology and performance-related fitness. Upon graduation, Baldis said exercise science students should be able to take and pass any of the NSCA certifications and be recognized worldwide with that certification. Rafael Martinez, a senior in the exercise science option, said he plans to go for a master’s degree after graduating and becoming a strength and conditioning coach for a Division I university. “I’m planning to take the certification for the strength and conditioning from [the NSCA],” Martinez said. Dr. Scott Sailor, chair of the department of kinesiology, said he thought the recognition from the NSCA was terrific for the department. “It really helps us stand out in the country as an institution that really prepares students to enter that industry in strength conditioning,” Sailor said. Prior to the recognition, Sailor said the department had done a great job at preparing students to be leaders in the field of kinesiology. “Getting the recognition from NSCA really gives us kind of a national exposure of that great work that our faculty had been doing over the years anyway,” Sailor said.

He said the exercise science option was distinct because it prepares students to enter professional programs in areas such as physical therapy and occupational therapy, or for students to go on to become biomechanists and exercise physiologists. Having that recognition from the NSCA also had benefits for students, such as easy access to certifications and discounts, Sailor said. Martinez said he was not surprised by Fresno State’s exercise science program’s national recognition. “It’s a great thing,” Martinez said. “We actually have a good faculty, and they’re very knowledgeable, and most of them are certified by [the NSCA] as well,” Martinez said. For students who are thinking of attending Fresno State for this option, Baldis said the recognition was a potential draw. “If this is the career path that you might want to take, Fresno State is obviously a school you might want to go to,” Baldis said. “We can guarantee that we will provide you all the information that you need throughout your years here.” Baldis said the kinesiology department was hoping to make the exercise science option into an impacted program starting in fall 2017, setting the standards higher for students who want to enter that option. The exercise science option is one of the fastest-growing emphases in the California State University system, Sailor said.

BLACKBOARD

Students can now choose their preferred name for ID card, blackboard By Julissa Zavala @TheCollegian
Many students can relate to having to tell a professor that he or she goes by a different name, shortened name or nickname. It can be a hassle for some students, but for others, especially in the transgender community, it can be agonizing. Until recently, Blackboard only used students’ legal names on the site. It is now updated to allow students to use their preferred first and middle names. “It’s a piece of your identity. It’s what you want to be called,” said Jessica Adams, coordinator of gender and LGBTQ+ programs and services. “For trans students, it’s that times a million.” Adams said the student portal allowed preferred names a few years ago, but then no students were allowed to use preferred names. When preferred names weren’t allowed, Adams said students were not participating in discussions on Blackboard or were being outed as transgender. Adams said she began working with technology services to update Blackboard to allow preferred names. Before, students would have to change to their preferred names manually, Adams said. If students haven’t legally changed their name, then they are being victimized and reminded that who they are isn’t real if they can’t use their preferred names, Adams said. “Having their preferred name on Blackboard allows them to fully participate and engage in classrooms without having to out
themselves as somebody else,” Adams said. “If you’re saying your name is one thing in class, but in Blackboard it’s showing up as another, people begin to question that.” Dr. Frank Lamas, vice president for student affairs, said one of the issues he had heard student voice concerns on across campus and at forums was the ability to use preferred names. Lamas said preferred names were important for students because it was how they identified themselves. “The bottom line is if it’s very important to them, it needs to be very important to me as vice president to do everything possible to make them be in a caring and inclusive environment where we’re taking care of their needs wherever possible,” Lamas said. Biology student Jude Jackson said that as a member of the transgender community, he thinks allowing students to use their preferred names is great. “I’ve been through this on a different campus,” Jackson said. “Having your name not reflect who you are is really painful.” As far as Blackboard is concerned, Jackson said if a student’s birth name gets out, it can be dangerous for the student or painful to see a name that the student doesn’t want to be associated with anymore. “Being able to change [names] to reflect who you truly are and being able to live your authentic self without having to worry about that is just one less stressful thing,” Jackson said. He said having preferred names on Blackboard was a huge achievement, and he was glad Fresno State is taking steps to be more inclusive. “Even just logging into Blackboard and

that name pops up—and you see your name and not the one you don’t want to be associated with—you see your actual name that you want people to call you and that feels great,” Jackson said. Adams said it is important to have preferred names across all campus platforms. She said Fresno State was striving to be as inclusive as possible. “We are absolutely moving forward,” Adams said. “We are getting new facilities or changing current facilities. We’re getting policy changes on names and hopefully on ID cards.” Even though there is progress, Adams said she would like to see a faster pace of changes, but she understands that Fresno State is a large institution and things take time. Fresno State is taking steps in the right direction toward inclusivity, but Jackson said there is still room to improve and that he would love to see more gender-inclusive restrooms on campus because they are safer for transgender students. “If you’re uncomfortable using a gendered restroom, you have to make the decision of either getting to class on time or going across campus to use the facilities,” Jackson said. “It would be nice to have at least one gender-neutral bathroom in every building.” Adams said she would continue to advocate for gender-inclusive restrooms in every building on campus and hopes to have every single-stall restroom on campus labeled as gender-inclusive by the end of the semester. “There’s no reason why we need to have gender-specific single-stall restrooms.” Ad-
ams said. “We need more accessibility of restrooms for all students.” Recently, Lamas’ office sent out a press release entailing plans to get preferred names on ID cards, more discussions and programs to increase awareness of LGBTQ+ issues and Lamas said the next issue on campus was getting more gender-inclusive restrooms added. “I think we are very sensitive to the needs of our students,” Lamas said. “I think we are very responsive. We listen and learn from hearing students tell us what it is that’s going to make this a better campus.” “I am happy to see the University make this public statement and I think it shows that Fresno State to truly serious about creating a welcoming and inclusive campus for the LGBTQ+ and Trans communities,” Adams said. “I am excited to be working with our students and the administration on this process.” Jackson said it was nice to see issues not only being addressed, but that there are efforts to actively resolve the issues that the transgender community has been pushing for. “I was very excited to see support and recognition of the campus' transgender students sent out to the entire campus community,” Jackson said. “I look forward to ongoing work with Fresno State for more transgender inclusive policies on campus.” Lamas said it was morally imperative to be there for students and to foster inclusivity on campus. “I do see the CSU as one of those organizations as out there trying to meet the needs of all of our students,” Lamas said.

Using social media as a tool to teach By Justin Johnson @TheCollegian
Teachers are no longer looking at social media as a distraction for student learning. They instead are embracing these new platforms as teaching tools and encouraging their use in the classroom. Dr. Monica Billen, assistant professor in the Kremen School of Education and Human Development, is also connecting with students on a new level with her modern teaching methods. “I am using Instagram in my literacy of methodology course.
The teachers are engaging in literacy practices in local schools in Fresno. When they engage in a literacy practice they take a photo and then they reflect about what they did on Instagram. Their classmates also follow their posts, and then they get together and talk about it,” Billen said. She first began her research in 2014 and her dissertation was published in May 2015 and can be viewed online at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. “My research and dissertation is about using Instagram and photos to encourage teachers to reflect about their practice and it’s
about the education system and about themselves the teachers,” Billen said. Her research, “#Learningtoteach: Using Instagram to Elicit Pre-service Teacher Reflection,” won the 2016 Outstanding Dissertation Award at the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE). “Dr. Billen has found a way to integrate this technology that we already use and applying that to our learning so we are able to process the information in a way that we are already comfortable with,” said Destinee Glasser, a current student of Billen’s who is working
on her master’s degree in deaf education at Fresno State. This year, The Guardian reported on eight ways universities are using social media. When it comes to Instagram, they report that it provides students with the opportunity to collaborate, comment, tag and expand discussions. “Within 10 years, the whole industry will be technology-based, whether it be Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, anything. The technology will be based in the classroom, I can see it,” said Kaitlyn Warring, a previous student of Billen’s and multiple subject credential student at Fresno
The McNair Program is now accepting applications for 2017! The McNair Program is a federally-funded program designed to prepare qualified students for graduate study! Awards and Benefits Include: $2,700 Stipend Graduate application assistance Graduate education seminar series Eligibility Requirements: Must be a first-generation, low-income college student and/or a member of a historically underrepresented group in doctorate education as defined by the United States Department of Education Must be a full-time California State University, Fresno student, possess a minimum G.P.A. of 2.75, have completed 60 academic units as of Spring 2016, and be considering graduate study
State. As the classroom becomes more virtual, students are involved in real-time learning when using social media to complete assignments. Classroom collaboration has never been so convenient and fast, giving students the ability to post from anywhere at any time. “I think that Dr. Billen is doing a really excellent job. She’s definitely made a lot of effort to connect with her students in the way that she is teaching, and it’s really inspiring to go and try new things and to be more innovative,” Glasser said. Jim Ryan, a mathematics professor at Fresno State, uses Facebook, so students can interact and ask homework questions. It is an open forum for everyone to interact and answer questions, not just the teacher. “I’ve been using Facebook as a part of my teaching since 2009, mostly as a reminder of test dates and quizzes. I noticed that when I started posting the dates, more people started showing up for the tests and more students completing the course,” Ryan said. “Completion rates in my classes have gone up 4 or 5 percent.” Social media isn’t the only technological transformation entering the classroom. Fresno State is technologically evolving with the times by bringing tablets into the classroom and educating students and teachers about the benefits of these hand-held devices. “For the first two weeks I’m considered a GOG. I go into a classroom and help with any technology problems, either with the teacher or with a student,” said Emily Ramos, a sociology major at Fresno State. The DISCOVERe program has been at Fresno State for three years, and it seeks to educate all people about using tablets as a primary teaching and learning tool. “We think we can definitely use technology as an advantage to teach students, because once they graduate, they will be facing many technological challenges, and we are trying to give them a head start right now so they can be prepared for the future,” said Chi Lei, a finance major at Fresno State. For more information or help with any of your devices, visit the DISCOVERe center located on the first floor of the Henry Madden Library.
Filing Deadline: JUNE 30, 2016 Applications available in the Lab School, room 181 or online at www.csufresno.edu/mcnair For information, please call 278-2946

Weissenfels was involved in a major car accident in May, 2014 while back home in San Diego and as a result, suffered a traumatic brain injury that placed her in a coma for nine days. Despite doctors giving her a 10 percent chance of waking up, she bounced back and regained her health through cognitive, occupational and physical therapy. The redshirt junior goalkeeper returned to school in 2014 and made her return to the field during the 2015 season. The Giant Step Academic Award – presented to individuals who overcame academic obstacles to earn their degrees – was unveiled Monday, and the first recipients of the honor were Cezar Guerrero (men’s basketball) and Lindsay Ruiz (swimming and diving). Justin Northern of the football team and Maggie Eppright of volleyball were awarded the CLUB RED Bulldog Spirit Award. The final award – the Harold Haak Memorable Moment Award – was presented to women’s tennis player Galina Bykov for her efforts in her team’s 4-3 win at No. 9 UCLA and men’s basketball player Julien Lewis for his go-ahead 3-pointer late in the Mountain West Tournament title game.

Fresno State junior basketball player Karachi Edo, 21, has been suspended from the team as a result of his arrest over the weekend in a case that involved battery charges. “He is currently suspended from the team,” said Paul Ladwig, Fresno State senior associate athletics director for external relations. “We are aware of the situation. We’re working with authorities, and we’re waiting for all the facts in the case to come forward.” Fresno County Jail records indicate that Edo was arrested Friday at 6:41
p.m. and released Saturday around 2 a.m. on $5,000 bail. The length of Edo’s suspension is yet to be determined as the athletic department awaits for the case to continue to unfold. “[The duration of his suspension] will be determined when the authorities determine what the facts of the case are,” Ladwig said. Edo, who is known for his highlight reel dunks, was a key component in the Bulldogs’ Mountain West Tournament title run and NCAA Tournament appearance this past season where he averaged 10.1 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.
Kriebs for having the courage to reinstate the wrestling program here at Fresno State,” Steiner said. “I am honored that they have put their trust in me to bring this back to the Valley and to the wrestling community. “My family and I are extremely excited to become a part of the Red Wave community and looking forward to any challenges that may lie ahead.” The new leader of the Bulldog wrestling program has also coached at Power Five schools Iowa (2004-06), Wisconsin (199701) and Minnesota (1996-97). Steiner has coached 22 NCAA Division I All-Americans, 10 Big Ten champions, six NCAA Division I champions and one Junior Fila World Freestyle Champion. “Today is truly a special day nationally for the sport of wrestling and here for the fans in the Valley who deeply love this sport,” Bartko said. “Being able to find a head coach with the integrity, spirit and knowledge that Troy brings to Fresno State is invaluable not only for restarting the program, but also for bringing great student-athletes to campus to compete.” Steiner will formally be introduced at a press conference Thursday at 1 p.m. The introduction can be streamed live on the Mountain West Network.

Fresno State hires Troy Steiner as head wrestling coach
By Collegian Staff @TheCollegian
Fresno State Director of Athletics Jim Bartko announced Tuesday the hiring of Troy Steiner to lead the restored wrestling program, which will begin competition in the 2017-18 school year.
“Today marks an exciting day for Fresno State and the wrestling community,” Fresno State President Dr. Joseph I. Castro said. “The pride and support for Bulldogs wrestling is inspiring. In our Central Valley, which is well-known as a wrestling hotbed, we're pleased to reintroduce the nation to Fresno State wrestling under new head coach Troy Steiner.”
Steiner comes to Fresno State after spending the past 10 years at Oregon State, where he’s served as an assistant and most recently in the role of associate head coach. “I want to thank President Joseph Castro, Director of Athletics Jim Bartko and Associate AD John

The university honored its student-athletes for their accomplishments during the 2015-16 academic year with the “Night of Champions” gala Monday night at the Save Mart Center. The event highlights student-athletes’ athletic accomplishments, educational successes and community efforts. Among the stars of the night were seniors Marvelle Harris and Jill Compton, who were named “Bulldogs of the Year.” Harris helped lead the Fresno State men’s basketball program to a Mountain West Tournament title and its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2001. Along the way, the senior picked up Mountain West Player of the Year and Associated Press All-America honors. “The award means a lot,” Harris said. “It shows that people noticed what you accomplished and the success over the years, and that everybody believed in you – the coaches and other student-athletes. It’s a great feeling.” Compton has helped elevate the softball team to a Top 20 national ranking, a second-consecutive Mountain West title and an undefeated conference record (20-0) up to this point. “I’ve been here since my freshman year and have seen other athletes win this award, and it really means a lot to me. It means a lot to represent the Central Valley,” Compton said. “There’s a lot of great student-athletes here, so I’m really humbled by this.” Hosting the event were Aaron Peck of the football team and Carolina Weaver from track and field. The equestrian team won the first award of the night, the Director of Athletics’ Team Award, for putting in nearly 500 hours of service here in the Central Valley. The next honors, the George llg Newcomer of the Year Award, went to Mountain West Champion golfer Trevor Clayton and Ugne Mazutaityte, the MW Freshman of the Year in swimming and diving. Meganne Weissenfels of the lacrosse team was presented with the Paul Schechter Courage Award, which is presented to a stu-
