Morgan Timms | @Morgan_Timms Omer Elsanusi, a Ph.D. candidate in mechanical engineering from Khartoum, Sudan, arranges flags from more than 30 countries Feb. 6 after the annual International Parade of Flags in the Student Center ballrooms. Elsanusi and his wife, Asia Abobaker, marched with their country's flag during the parade. Sudan was one of the seven countries initially banned from the United States in President Donald Trump's executive orders. "It was great to participate in this multicultural event and to be part of this community," Elsanusi said. "It makes you feel like home to some extent, especially in the current circumstances. Especially when you are supported by such great people. I think that's what really matters."

Morgan Timms | @Morgan_Timms Counterclockwise from left: Good Samaritan Ministries Executive Director Mike Heath supervises Aniyah Miller, 10; Carissa Bennett, 10; Jaden Garnette-Love, 10; Darren Johnson, 10, all of Carbondale; and Zachary Myers, of Memphis, Tennessee, as they fill Heath’s trunk with blankets, hats and gloves donated by the public Jan. 16 during the Boys and Girls Club of Carbondale’s Lend a Hand donation drive. The children held the drive for their annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service project. The Carbondale community was invited to drop off fresh fruits and vegetables, spare change, warm blankets, hats and gloves at the Boys and Girls Club, where they were later presented to Heath and Good Samaritan vice president Maurine Pyle. “This is fantastic,” Heath said of the drive. “This is our life bread, especially at this time of year when it’s cold.” Although the state’s stopgap budget provided Good Samaritan with enough resources for 2016 and 2017, Heath said without a real budget, the organization faces financial uncertainty beyond then. “We have tremendously generous donors here in town,” Pyle said. “All of these local donors and fundraisers keep us going. It’s a community of philanthropy.”

"Honestly, we wouldn't be doing this if it weren't for them," Weatherwax said. "As far as getting locations, working with us to find out where we can go, who to talk to, they've been so helpful."

Jacob Wiegand | @jawiegandphoto John O'Connell, a Ph.D. candidate in zoology from Miami, traverses wetlands Feb. 12 off Illinois Route 3 near Gale. The Cooperative Wildlife Research Laboratory, through which O'Connell conducts his wetland research, could be at risk of losing $507,388 in funding if the university doesn't receive state appropriations by July 1. "I imagine if funding is cut that that's going to impact the number of students and maybe the number of faculty that we have," O'Connell said. He said the different academic departments that use the lab overlap and mingle, and that the sharing of information in the lab is a way to collaborate and further their research.

Athena Chrysanthou | @Chrysant1Athena Saluki women's tennis players place their hands together Jan. 27 at Garden Grove Event Center in Carbondale during their first practice after hearing the news the team would be cut after this semester. Director of tennis Audra Anderson said the upperclassmen and maturity of the team help make the difference during this time. “It fires me up even more to have the best season," Anderson said. "If anything it will help us because you don’t have anybody sitting back and saying ‘well there’s next year.’”
Jacob Wiegand | @jawiegandphoto Junior Athena Chrysanthou reacts to winning a point during her singles match against Missouri State junior Anelisse Torrico Moreno during the Salukis’ 6-1 win against the Bears on April 15 at the University Courts. Chrysanthou won her match 4-6, 6-2 and 10-5 in a deciding tiebreaker. “It’s always good to see a teammate win, especially when it’s tight and they're the last one,” said senior Ana Sofia Cordero when asked about Chrysanthou’s win. “It’s just another special moment to add to this day." The match marked the last home match in Saluki tennis history after it was announced in January that the men’s and women’s tennis teams would be eliminated effective July 1. “It hasn’t really hit us I think that it’s over,” Cordero said. “But it was very touching because we’ll never play here again.”
