BEGINNING

Taking your first steps onto campus as a Miami Hurricane is the start of a new chapter. Hecht and Stanford have been housing freshman since 1968, bringing together students from all across the globe. With a beautiful lakeside view, they get their first taste of all the beauty Miami's campus has to enjoy. Late nights, communal bathrooms, and new friendships is all that awaits for incoming freshman excited to embrace their new homes.

LAKE OSCEOLA IN FULL EFFECT Initally built as a canal to connect Biscayne Bay and surrounding bodies of water, Lake Osceola was later developed into a lake after the construction of the university. Completeted in 1947, it was named after Osceola, a Floridian historical figure and Seminole tribe leader of Iron Arrow Honor Society. One of the U's most famous landmarks, the sun glimers off the lake to make for the perfect Miami day. Photo by Michael Montero

Standing seven feet high and weighing nearly a thousand pounds, the U statue is centrally located on Miami's campus. The statue was unveiled in October 2012 and was funded through the budget for the Student Center Complex project, costing around $85,000. It isn't a typical day on campus without passing the infamous U statue while walking to and from class. Photo by Michael Montero

Sitting on the Foote Green, taking photos by the U statue, or enjoying the Merrick fountain is what you can find so many 'Canes doing during a typical day in the Gables. Students from all across the world take pride in their campus and all that it has to offer. From Market Wednesdays, to Patio Jam Thursdays, and so much more, no other place can encompass everything that makes Miami so great. Campus is where students transform into true 'Canes.

U SPIRIT

All nighters at the library, long walks across campus, tailgates, and more is what embodies being a 'Cane. Once students have finally immersed themselves into campus, learning the ups and downs of being a 'Cane comes naturally. Walking to and from class helps students learn about inside the classroom. But true 'Cane spirit is learned outside the classroom. From exploring the city and beyond, to gaining real world experience through jobs and interships, 'Canes know how to make their spirit felt across the world.

VACATION all day

'Canes are going global as they explore and venture to all parts of the world during the glorious three months of summer vacation that allows for endless fun and lots of adventures Story by Kayla Gardner and Design by Karina Sloan

From coast to coast, every summer millions of tourists descend to Miami to vacation in the hottest city this side of the Nile. While the tourists creep in, ‘Canes branch out, taking flights to explore some of the farthest corners of the world. Some students stuck with the tropical landscape, finding paradise in Jamaica. Others opted for a cool change of pace and temperature, by hiking through the summer snow in the mountains of France.

LIFESTYLES SUMMER TRAVEL

But whether they chose to explore the warmer or colder climates, Canes certainly know how to travel in style. “I was able to travel throughout [Jamaica] and try different foods, dance, and meet people old and young. It was a life-changing experience" said senior, Patricia Emmelle. When it comes to summer break, 'Canes know how all the best and brightest spots to explore.

While hitting the books and the beach are a part of the usual day for a 'Cane, some like to take a leap and experience what it’s like working in the real world with big time companies Story and Design by Karina Sloan

Traveling the world and hitting the beach is nothing short of true 'Cane fashion. But some 'Canes decide to get a head start in the working world while interning with some of the biggest and best companies across the nation. Taking advantage of internships and job opportunities are great experience and allow students to find where they best fit in the world after graduation. Whether you stay local or choose to travel across the country, you are sure to gain real world experience in something you plan to pursue. Reece Haire, a senior double majoring in Psychology and Human and Social Development and minoring in Dance and Philosophy, spent her final summer as an undergraduate on Capital Hill in Washington D.C. working at the Congressional Award Office. "It was a great experience working as a full-time employee. The staff was so amazing, kind, and supportive. I realized my passion for nonprofit work." Being able to show real world experience helps to boost your resume and shows future employers all you have learned while in college. But there are numerous other advantages to working over the summer. Whether it is making connections, meeting new people, getting paid, or setting up a full time position after graduation, there’s bound to be endless possibilities with the experience gained from a summer working alongside the best businesses and the brightest individuals.

From the first moments their Canecard pictures are snapped to the royal treatment of Cruise Ship move-in, new 'Canes were able to experience their first taste of being a Miami Hurricane. Move-in allows for students and families to get acclimated in their new dorms and tour campus. Freshman Joao “Johnny” Corbellini from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil explained his enthusiasm, “I was so excited to be accepted into UM and start my new journey here in Miami. As soon as I got off the airplane, I went into the AT&T store to have my area code changed to 305. Having that area code is important to me because it’s just like a statement to where I am today. I am proud to be here.” The first day hosted the arrival of international students, Frost students, Foote and Hammond scholars, legacies, and a handful of other select newcomers. During their first night at the U, a variety of social events welcomed students and their families in true Miami fashion. The next morning, the remaining students of the Class of 2023 moved into their new homes.

Residential Assistants are the ones behind organizing and planning the arrival of incoming students from all over the world. Many people do not realize the stress and timing it takes to put everything into action. “As a Residential Assistant, teamwork is crucial to ensure a successful semester for our residents. There is quite a bit of effort that goes behind the scenes, but it’s [definitely] worth it when we finally meet our residents face to face" says senior residential assistant, Mariah Hamby. RAs are the individuals behind all the magic that comes with feeling welcomed and at home in your newest residential college. From creating themes each semester to planning events and getting to know over hundreds of students, RA's are what makes the residential colleges so special. Story by Karina Sloan

After a calm summer, campus is finally hustling and bustling with fresh and excited faces. The University welcomed over 3,500 new 'Canes to campus with their annual 'Cane Kickoff programs. As the new 'Canes came rushing in, they got their first taste of what it truly means to be a Miami Hurricane. Freshman and transfers have the opportunity to participate in events throughout the whole week to get acclimated with campus and all opportunities Miami has to offer. From 'Canes Take Flight, to Experience UM, and finishing off the week with Canefest, there are endless ways to truly become immersed in and learn more about student life. Aravind Meyyappan, an incoming freshman and biology major enjoyed the Experience UM session." The Experience UM sessions were really cool, it's cool to see what UM has to offer and all of the different ways to get involved."Transfer student, Sana Paul, enjoyed 'Canes Take Flight the most from her 'Cane Kickoff experience. "It was really fun seeing the cheering and everyone going crazy. I'm a trasnfer student, and we definitely didn't have anything like that at my old school, so it was fun to see everyone so passionate."

HURRICANE DORIAN

storm watch Hurricane season made history with some of the most brutal Atlantic storms. Dorian lasted 18 days, 13 of them hurricane days, making it one of the longest running hurricanes to date Story and Design by Teddy Willson

Satellite image from NOAA shows Hurricane Dorian pummeling past Grand Bahama Island and heading for Florida on Sept. 3. At the time, Dorian was a Category 4 storm.

A week and a day. That’s how long University of Miami students had been back attending classes for the fall semester when they received their first message from the university about the thenTropical Storm Dorian. Twelve more advisories would follow, providing students valuable updates on what would become Hurricane Dorian. On Aug. 24, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) officially named the tropical storm brewing in the Atlantic. Three days later, the storm made its first landfall over Barbados as a cyclone. Students were told via email that the university was closely monitoring the situation. At that time, Dorian was 1,425 miles southeast of Miami-Dade County. The following day, Tropical Storm Dorian took on a new status as Hurricane Dorian. The storm made its way through the Lesser Antilles and toward the Bahamas, picking up speed. Aug. 29, the university made the following announcement: “Classes at the Coral Gables, marine, and medical campuses will be canceled beginning at noon on Friday, Aug. 30, and continuing through Tuesday, Sept. 3.” Events for Labor Day weekend were cancelled, and students were instructed to prepare for the oncoming storm. Over the weekend, Dorian picked up traction over the Atlantic, developing into a Category 4 hurricane. On Sunday Sept. 1, Dorian hit the Bahamas with brutal force as a Category 5. Elbow Cay sustained winds up to 185 miles per hour. Dorian then stalled over Grand Bahama for 36 hours leaving a heap of destruction that would take years to rebuild. “In the Bahamas, we’re used to hurricanes every year,” said Katya Saunders, president of the Bahamian Students Association. “But the sheer strength of this particular hurricane, along with the fact that we were still recovering in some islands from previous storms, had me very worried.” Back on campus, residential students went under an overnight lockdown. Though Florida was spared the devastation much of the Bahamas suffered, students quickly realized the severity of the situation that their Caribbean neighbors now faced. At least 70 people were killed and tens of thousands more were left homeless with limited access to basic supplies. For UM students, classes resumed the following day, Wednesday Sept. 4, but not without a mass effort in support of the Bahamas. The university created “The Hurricane Dorian Response Fund” in order to directly support recovery efforts in the islands. The Bahamian Students Association coordinated a campus-wide relief drive.

Students donated 25 boxes of supplies and 50 cases of water to be received and distributed overseas by the Bahamian National Emergency Management Agency. “It felt good that I was able rally together so much support for my home country,” Saunders said. “I wanted to help out as much as I could and the UM community supported me in being able to do that.”

HURRICANE DORIAN

Following Hurricane Dorian, School of Architecture students, Larah Biondo and Alexia Lohken, began brainstorming ways that they could help. What they came up with? A resiliency center for Marsh Harbor, the largest town on Great Abaco Island in the Bahamas, which was left devastated by the hurricane. The building would not only serve as an emergency shelter capable of withstanding the wrath of a Category 5 storm, but also as a year-round community center. On ground-level, the center would offer a variety of sports facilities, playgrounds, green space and retractable two staircases. The interior of the structure would be able to accomodate 1,000 people and serve as a model to be replicated throughout the Bahamas, saving lives and fostering a resilient community in the process.

Many students mimic brands when creating tailgate merchandise such as Adidas, Off-White, Gucci and more. This shirt looks similar to Hermes.

Wearing oversized jerseys as dresses are a tailgating staple. These generic jerseys can be found in the University of Miami bookstore. Individual player numbers and names are rarely seen among students.

Iron on do it yourself shirts are a great way to personalize tailgate gear. Some students sell their creations and make businesses of making college clothing.

ready for Miami is no stranger to being the destination spot for diverse individuals from all across the world. But when it's Carnival season,it's all about celebrating and enjoying the rich culture of the Caribbean Story and Design by Karina Sloan

Caribbean music, elaborate costumes, food trucks, and so much more is what fills the streets of South Florida during Miami Carnival. Carnival is a tradition celebrated throughout the Caribbean and a few other countries including Brazil. The largest and most famous takes place the Monday and Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, signifying the start to the Lenten Season. In South Florida, Miami adds its own spin by celebrating Carnival in October. Carnival in Miami offers the opportunity for Caribbean people in South Florida to share, enjoy, and celebrate their culture. For those unfamiliar with carnival, it allows the Miami community to learn and understand more about Caribbean culture and all its unique traditions. For Caribbean students on campus, Carnival is an experience that many love to participate in. From extravagant customs and beautiful wings, to representing their island with their flags, it’s a way for them to feel as if they are at home right here in Miami.

“My dad was born and raised in Trinidad and I’ve been visiting since I was five years old. Carnival is a huge part of my culture. Soca music, the food and the energy that Caribbean people have make me feel so loved and so carefree. Miami carnival has definitely been one of the most entertaining events I’ve attended since living in Miami. I haven’t been to Trinidad carnival yet because I’m always in school, but Miami’s has been enough to deliver me that sense of community I need”

There are endlesss possibilites for all types of food lovers, whether you just want a snack or an entire meal to fill you up. “I love when Farmers Market comes because I know I’ll be able to enjoy my favorite natural juice from the ceviche and guaca stand,” said Doreen Gustave, a junior majoring in public health. “I’ve faithfully gone there every week this past academic year and highly recommend the juice along with the guacamole.”

Ready to get a small break in the midst of fall semester, students travel near and far to take a much needed break from school work Story by Minh Thao Ho and Design by Karina Sloan

Fall break is a four-day weekend in the middle of the fall semester. To many UM students, this is an opportunity to venture into downtown Miami and see its famous beaches, take a trip back home and visit their loved ones, or plan a quick getaway with friends. No matter what the location is, students are determined to make the most out of the short break by making plans even weeks prior. “It is a great break from school. I got to visit a different part of Florida with my new friends. It was a great bonding opportunity. I had so much fun during the break with them” said freshman Jay’la Evans. Fall break also serves as a power nap for many students, giving them the chance to recharge from loads of school work and have some time to relax and catch-up from UM's fast-paced academic lifestyle.

into The Story of Two Fall Productions at Jerry Herman Ring Theatre Story by Michael MacHarg II and Design by Karina Sloan

The first performance of the year presented Howard Ashman and Alan Mencken’s 1982 musical Little Shop of Horror. It follows a group of people on Skid Row as a “strange and unusual plant” turns their failing florist shop into a local tourist stop, threatening to takeover the universe. Senior, Carter Nash, played Audrey II the“man-eating” plant, and stated “[learning to use stilts] was difficult, but so much fun. I couldn’t find a reference point on how an alien plant should move on stage. After a lot of conversations with my director, we decided that Audrey II should have a very loose and free-flowing movement.” The second production was The Mystery of Edwin Drood. The show is largely based on audience participation, as the audience votes to determine who killed poor Edwin Drood. "Not only do you get to be part of this mystery which is really exciting, but you get to control it. The actors have no clue how the show is going to end, so you get to see live theatre in its purest form" said senior, Nicole Delsack.

Rapper, 21 Savage made his first appearance to the University of Miami’s campus for the annual Homecoming week. In the spirit of Miami, 21 sported an all-black football jersey during his performance. But, before 21 Savage came on to perform, a student performer, a DJ who goes by the name CHIRLP, warmed up the crowd before the main act. CHIRLP remixed both old and new songs to get the crowd energized and excited for the highly anticipated rapper to come on. With mosh pits in full swing, the students were ready to get lit as they jammed out to 21 Savage and all his most famous hits. 21 performed his older songs including ‘X featuring Future’ to his newer hits including ‘Bank Account’, ‘a lot’, and rockstar by Post Malone which he was featured on. But, what got the crowd most energized were anthems ‘Don’t Come Out the House’ and '10 Freaky Girls’ from his collaborative album with Metro Bommin. While the Watsco Center was booming with excitement, there were many students that seemed disappointed by 21’s performance as a whole. A couple of students felt that his stage presence was underwhelming and unengaging. Senior, Tyler Davis was unsatisfied, “I was excited to see what kind of energy he’d bring for his performance, but there really wasn’t much going on.” As oppose to many of her classmates, senior, Danielle Lankford was pleased with this year’s homecoming concert, “ I enjoyed it because I love him as an artist. This was my first homecoming that I actually cared about. But, his stage presence wasn’t all that exciting, it was just the music that I loved that made it so much fun."

While every homecoming tradition is enjoyed by students, some tend to stick out more than others. The fireworks show and boat burning are often the most popular event of the week. But, a new tradition has made its way into Homecoming events. The Hurricane Howl features food trucks, live performances, games, student clubs, and more! Although it included the old time tradition of the boat burning and fireworks show, a new tradition was added this year with a block party. It included everything from music, games, and food trucks. People were able to enjoy foods ranging from burgers, acai bowls, and cinnamon roll pancakes while enjoying the block party’s festivities. The Spirit Squad and the band made an appearance right before the awards were given out. The awards ceremony was complete with the announcement of the homecoming week champions: FEC.

CELEBRATION OF INVOLVEMENT Excellence in Civic Engagement Award Graduate Award for Excellence in Student Leadership Iron Arrow Honor Society Sophomore Leadership Award Civic Scholars Recognition Cachay Byrd

Celebrating 30 years since the Butler Center’s official start in 1988 was nothing short of eventful as the year was filled with numerous activities, conferences, events, and more. The Butler Center has been dedicated to cultivating positive social change for the past 30 years and this year was no different. From IMPACT Leadership Retreat and Get Out the Vote initiatives, to the ACC Leadership Symposium and First Year U, students were able to create long lasting memories and garner more skills in leadership and social activism. The highlight of the Butler Center's 30th year was being able to provide students with unforgettable experiences to travel and foster new relationships. The ACC Advocacy Days allowed a couple of UM students to travel to Capitol Hill and meet with congressional representatives from across Florida. Butler also offers programs in Coral Gables. Leadership UMiami is a program that happens right on campus with a trip to Washington D.C. The purpose of the program is to utilize your own interests and personal identity to get a greater understanding of social issues within the community. Giovanni Sibilia, a junior, said about the program, " You can't create change until you know yourself. The biggest thing I was hoping to get out of this are the tools to affect positive change in the world."

Miami held a week full of events leading up to the big game. The Super Bowl Live event at Bayfront Park featured a water show, celebrity chefs and exquisite food for Tailgate Town and an evening parade featuring hundreds of performers including both Miami’s Caribbean Carnival and Latin Parade. Not only that, but the Miami Convention Center hosted the Super Bowl Experience, a pro football interactive theme park offering games, clinics, merchandise, and

autograph sessions with professional athletes. On top of events, the city of Miami got into the Super Bowl spirit by painting walls and buildings with festive pictures and graphics related to the Super Bowl and its history in Miami. And while all of this lead up to the 10th most watched Super Bowl in history, everyone in Miami was surely enjoying the week full of activities regardless of if they were there for football or not.

The 54th Super Bowl took place at Hard Rock Stadium, home to the NFL’s Miami Dolphins and the Miami Hurricanes. The Kansas City Chiefs took on the San Francisco 49ers to determine the NFL champion for the 2019 season. Ultimately, the Chiefs reigned supreme, defeating the 49ers 31-20. This was the 11th Super Bowl to take place in Miami. Long before the game, however, the Super Bowl had a lasting impact in Miami, by partnering with local institutions to confront both environmental and sex trafficking initiatives. Freshman Wyatt Kopelman took part in this experience as a marketing and communications intern for the Miami Super Bowl Host Committee. “Seeing the Super Bowl collaborate with [these organizations] was something I had never imagined as possible,” Kopelman said. “I hope future host cities can partake in similar projects.” In the week leading up to the game, there were various events taking place around the city, from art installations in Wynwood to concerts in Downtown Miami. With the city-wide events, came a rush of excitement across campus. Meanwhile, select students put in countless hours of rehearsal for their own appearance at the Super Bowl. The Hurricanettes dance team, Frost Band of the Hour and color guard all took part in the special day. The night before the game, band members and dancers welcomed athletes and celebrities arriving to the annual NFL Honors awards show at the Adrienne Arsht Center in Downtown. Ahead of the game, students unfurled a giant American flag while singer Demi Lovato sang the national anthem. Most notably, students joined Jennifer Lopez and Shakira during the coveted halftime show performance. “When we were escorted on the field was the first time I saw how many people were there,” said senior Sunsation Chelsea Lovell. “I felt the energy of the crowd and it was an experience I will never forget.” Over 100 million viewers nationwide tuned into the performance.

This year’s show featured 10 student performers, one alumni and four professionals: drag king Spikey Van Dykey and queens Tiffany Fantasia, Miss Toto and Aurora Whorealis.The evening was hosted by Fantasia, who kept the audience laughing, cheering and tipping all night. Donations served to benefit the YES Institute, a Miami-based nonprofit with a nationwide presence focused on LGBTQ suicide prevention and education. Performances spanned genres and styles from Hannah Montanna to Beyoncé, Panic! At the Disco to Queen. Each one was met with wild applause and the room exuded a wild, positive energy that could have kept the show going all night. Seven students competed for the crowns of drag king and queen of the night. Jack Frost took home the first title with his energetic performance of Lady Gaga’s “Marry the Night,” while RRRRROSA took home the latter. The stylish queen, who strutted down the stage draped in a rainbow flag, performed a stunning pop mash up and thanked her mother for providing endless love and support. DragOut 2020 raised a record-breaking $5404 for The YES Institute and garnered a massive turnout large enough to pack all three ballrooms in the Shalala center.

before the Students graced the stage during spring theater performing The Trojan Women and Circle Mirror Transformation before COVID-19 swept away the last opportunity to perform for the year Story by Kylea Henseler and Design by Karina Sloan

The Department of Theater Arts kicked off its spring season with performances of The Trojan Women and Circle Mirror Transformation in February. UM’s post-break closure due to the coronavirus forced the curtain to close early on She Kills Monsters and Green Day’s American Idiot. The Trojan Women was the first Spring show to take the stage at the Jerry Herman Ring Theatre on Feb. 20 under guest director Leda Hoffman. Hoffman, who owns her own theatre in Chicago, was brought in to give the students real-world experience. “I think as a student we get to know our professors very well, so we get a sense of what they want. But when we get casted outside of school, we’re not going to have that luxury,” said senior, Gabrielle Rosenbloom, of the experience.

Circle Mirror Transformation also made it to curtain call, running from Feb. 27-March 1 at the studio theatre in Hecht. Sadly, the casts of She Kills Monsters and Green Day’s American Idiot didn’t get a chance to perform the plays they worked so hard on. However, they’re always ready for the next opportunity to shine. “I was [cast] in American Idiot, so I’m definitely disappointed,” said sophomore, Kate Reilly, who was set to be part of the punk-pop performance’s ensemble. “My major revolves around performance opportunities and unfortunately I didn’t get mine this year. However, there’s nothing that could have been done, so I’m grateful for the week of rehearsals I did end up having!”

Spring Break

When Spring Recess began on March 7, no one thought the day before Spring Break would mark the last day of in-person class for students and faculty Story and Design by Olivia Ginsberg and Emmalyse Brownstein

When students left campus for spring break —whether it was for a visit home, a trip with friends or a staycation to South Beach—they packed just enough to last them a week. No one could have imagined that they wouldn’t be returning to thier normal routines on campus until August 2020. Leading up to the week before spring break, stories and rumors swirled surrounding the coronavirus. Some students studying abroad felt they were left to figure things out themselves. International students changed plans to go home for fear that travel restrictions might prevent them from returning. On March 11, about halfway through spring break, a notice was sent out to the University of Miami community stating that classes would “resume as scheduled on all university campuses” with “large university events and meetings” postponed until at least March 31. The notice also said that the university was “preparing for the possibility of moving classes online, if necessary.” And the very next day, on March 12, the university announced the extension of spring break for an additional week and the movement of classes to online remote learning beginning March 22 through at least April 4.

Jan. 21, 2020

Other colleges implemented similar extensions, and social media buzzed with talk and memes about the coronavirus giving students an extra week of vacation. But the light-heartedness turned to something much more serious when universities across the nation began announcing plans to shut down for the remainder of the semester. And on March 17, the University of Miami followed suit. Along with the decision that “classes and labs [would] resume on March 23, but strictly in remote, distance learning environments,” on-campus housing would be implementing a “partial closing.” This meant students were to return to their permanent residences, not to on-campus housing, with limited exceptions. Many international students and those who couldn’t go home had no choice but to stay. Others who had traveled out of state for the break didn’t want to risk getting on a plane to move out their stuff. Some students living off-campus paid rent for apartments they couldn’t live in. Even with a world of uncertainty, one thing was for sure—the lives of University of Miami students, and the rest of the world's population—was about to change.

PANDEMIC The Coronavirus disease flipped students lives upside down and took the world by storm. A tiny but mighty strain of coronavirus has had serious implications on the healthcare system, the economy and the lives of global citizens Story and Design by Olivia Ginsberg and Elizabeth Pozzouli

COVID-19, the name of the strain of coronavirus—a virus that has many forms and is common among mammals—that took the world by storm in 2020, has been speculated to have emerged from a fish market in Wuhan, China in Dec. 2019. This strain of coronavirus made its way all over the world and was declared a pandemic on March 11 by the World Health Organization (WHO). COVID-19 causes the infected persons to experience mild to moderate respiratory illness. Symptoms—which usually appear within 14 days of exposure—include cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fever, chills and loss of taste or smell among others. For otherwise healthy patients, it is possible to recover without special treatment. However, elderly people and those with underlying medical problems; like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness. It is also possible to not experience symptoms at all. These carriers are extremely dangerous, as they can spread the virus

while being asymptomatic to unsuspecting people. COVID-19 spreads mostly through droplets of saliva or through the air after someone sneezes or coughs. This made it essential for states to require masks in public and new "social distancing" rules in public places. The virus quickly infected over 1.95 million people by June of 2020. COVID-19 easily overwelmed the U.S. healthcare system and forced state-wide shortages in personal protective equipment–forcing some healthcare workers to find alternative means of protection, such as cloth masks. There is currently no specific vaccine or treatment available for Coronavirus Disease, but there are several on-going, clinical trials. As of May, states have slowly begun to loosen restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic, and things are slowly returning to normal. Scientists have warned of a second spike of the virus set for the winter–making it difficult for schools and universities to decide the proper course of action to reopen schools for the upcoming semesters.

CORONAVIRUS

The national response to

COVID-19 The novel coronavirus created a nation-wide stir as states responded to the pandemic. With little federal guidance on the matter, states scrambled to find effective ways to flatten the curve Story and Design by Olivia Ginsberg and Gianna Milan

From the moment the coronavirus flooded the United States news cycle in early March, the question of whether or not a mandatory stay-at-home order was the ultimate solution stirred a nationwide debacle. Amidst discussions in the White House, President Donald Trump continuously diminished the idea of administering an end-all shutdown, preconceiving its likely positive impact to be “pretty unlikely.” Statistics published by the White House later that month projected the population of infected Americans to top 240,000. By mid-May, however, the number of confirmed cases had significantly increased–now on the verge of 1.5 million infections and far surpassing the case counts of deteriorated European states. Rep. Donna Shalala, the immediate past president of the University of Miami, was one of numerous political leaders to condemn the country’s “fragmented, weak and uneven” approach of avoiding a “national plea” for health and safety. Contrary to COVID-19 infested Spain, in the U.S, police officers were absent from trafficked streets, and regulations as to which age groups were free to be out-andabout at specific times were less strictly enforced.

Florida's response to The sunshine state was no stranger to the effects of COVID-19. As cases mounted in Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis continued to claim that stay-at-home orders and other strict policies were not the answer Story and Design by Olivia Ginsberg and Gianna Milan

COVID-19 attacked the Sunshine State with spring break season right around the corner. With the state government too hesitant to take action initially, antsy New Yorkers booked their flights down south–with sights set on fulfilling oceanside fantasies. By the time tourists invaded beaches and contamination spun out of control, it was way too late for Gov. Ron DeSantis to snap anyone out of vacation mode. The Florida governor then became extremely apprehensive to put a stay-athome order in place, repeatedly stressing that it would be detrimental to residents’ mental health over several news conferences in March. Florida finally entered lockdown on April 3—despite already having logged 188 deaths, as pointed out by the Miami Herald—and promptly lifted the mandate on April 30. Although the curve was definitely not flattening, DeSantis assured that

conditions were smooth, so Florida hastily reopened in phase one as early as May 4, originally leaving the southeastern counties of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach out of the plan. A glaring mistake arose when these three county governments rebuked, demanding freedom and normality, thus the curve only skyrocketed. With its already dense population and high senior age demographic plus the influx of travelers, southeast Florida was hit hard by the coronavirus outbreak, consistently recording outrageous case counts. Statistics from the Florida Department of Health’s digital database indicated that the number of confirmed positive cases in Florida had totaled slightly over 50,000 by May 23, with the southernmost tricounty region amassing roughly 57% of victims as well as 55% of deaths.

RESPONSE to COVID-19

Many students and teachers packed their bags for spring break without realizing that the learning environment they would return to was about to change dramatically, unlike anything they had experienced Story and Design by Olivia Ginsberg and Kylea Henesler

On March 12, university communications announced that Spring Break would be extended an extra week, less than 24 hours after the World Health Organization officially declared the Coronavirus outbreak a “global pandemic.” When classes resumed, they were exclusively online. Professors adapted to the circumstances by utilizing a variety of tools and holding classes over online platforms such as Zoom and Blackboard Collaborate Ultra. Following the lead of colleges and universities around the country, UM announced on April 7 that students would have the option of designating any or all of their classes as credit/ no-credit on transcripts. The CR/ NC option, which is UM’s verison of pass/fail, allowed students to receive credit for any grade above a C-. While students were originally

given a deadline of May 8 to make this choice, the university extended this date to May 29 after multiple professors granted extensions for finals and projects. Though most operations were ceased on campus, residential communities remained open for students with documented requests to remain on campus. Those who opted to return home or had already paid for housing, dining or parking passes were reimbursed at least some of their money by the university. In order to give seniors a chance to celebrate in person, UM officially moved commencement exercises to December 18 and 19 of 2020, though many individual schools, clubs and organizations within UM held their own senior ceremonies or events to commemorate each student’s hard work and accomplishments.

The abrupt end of on-campus classes during spring semester was a dissapointment for graduating seniors, many of whom left for spring break without realizing they might never again return to the Universty Story and Design by Olivia Ginsberg and Kylea Henseler

As classes moved online and the world moved into a lockdown, senior celebrations fell by the wayside or went digital. While UM had planned many events for seniors including a Commencement Ball, Senior Night at a baseball game and Senior Day at the Rat, many students settled for a Zoom happy hour with friends and the promise of an in-person commencement in December. Final formals, philanthropy events, sendoffs, pitchers at the Rat and market Wednesdays were no more. Despite the circumstances, many seniors are understanding of the situation and determined to make the best of it. “People are trying to be very positive and supportive,” said senior Samantha Waddell, “when UM didn’t host a virtual graduation, one of my roommates decided to make her own!” According to Waddell, the

ceremony was complete with video speeches from professors and, to top it off, photoshopped images of President Frenk handing each senior a diploma. However, students will have to wait a little longer for the real thing. As of now, UM has rescheduled Spring 2020 commencement exercises to Saturday, Dec. 19, 2020. For those who can make it, the ceremony will be a time to reunite with old classmates, walk across the stage, and celebrate a successful college career surrounded by loved ones. “After attending my older brother’s graduation a few years ago surrounded by friends and family,” said senior Jason Kaplan, “I couldn’t wait to do the same at UM. I’m extremely appreciative with UM’s commitment to holding a ceremony for the class of 2020 in December.”

The Miller School of Medicine partnered with Heat Biologics, a biopharmaceutical company in North Carolina, to develop a COVID-19 test and work on creating a prototype for a potential vaccine. In an article on News@TheU, Sylvia Daunert, the chair of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, compared the test to the look and simplicity of an over-the-counter pregnancy test. Daunert said that the test uses a throat swab, can yield results within 30 minutes and can provide earlier detection time than other methods — available after only a few days of exposure to the virus. Natasa Strbo, an assistant professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, is leading the charge in the development of a “cell-based” vaccine for the novel coronavirus. In an interview for News@TheU, Strbo said the vaccine is based on gp96, a protein in our cells that activates our immune response. “We already have tremendous knowledge from our previous vaccine studies, so I think the gp96 platform has

a lot of potential in inducing a protective immunity against COVID-19,” said Strbo. Additionally, several University of Miami research teams — 24 to be exact — received grants from the university’s Office of the Vice Provost for Research to conduct studies that could uncover new and highly valuable knowledge about COVID-19. Hopefully leading to better methods to stomp down the curve of infection. The projects range from departments all across the university, including a plan for an online art platform in the art and art history department to a study in the political science department on a professor’s examination of the effects of COVID-19 misinformation on the public. With the University of Miami's medical campus at the forefront of coronavirus research, administrators on all campuses were hopeful to resume on-campus classes and control the spread of the disease for the fall 2020 semester. Administration announced they would attempt to use methods like frequent testing and contact tracing to limit the spread of the virus.

Story by Jordan Viera

Another UM study takes a new angle on the virus: sexual transmission. The researchers predict the virus may be present in semen. “Understanding the potential for COVID sexual transmission is critical because of the tremendous potential ramifications,” said Dr. Ranjith Ramasamy, an Associate Professor of Urology at the Miller School of Medicine and director of male reproductive medicine and surgery at the University of Miami Health System in an article on the Miller School’s website. He went on to say, "The first step in understanding the potential routes of transmission—and their ramifications—is knowing which tissues the virus is capable of penetrating. Previous SARS strains have shown an ability to cross into the male reproductive tract, where it can be sexually transmitted.” Dr. Ramasamy and his team of UM researchers are hoping to find at least 200 men who tested positive for COVID-19 to enroll in a study to determine the interaction of the virus with semen. So far, 30 men are enrolled in the study.

Ramasamy said that a critical first step in understanding the potential routes of transmission—and their ramifications—is knowing which tissues the virus is capable of infecting. "Previous SARS strains have shown an ability to cross into the male reproductive tract, where it can be sexually transmitted." According to Dr. Ramasamy, the gateway into the body for this virus is the ACE2 receptor, present in the lungs, heart, intestines, kidneys, and testis."The COVID receptor is present in a lot of testes. The testis is responsible for sperm and testosterone production," Ramasamy said. "So, we not only want to check testosterone levels, but also research if young men have changes in their sperm counts." This is just one of several other University of Miami research studies that received grants to conduct their studies, which hopes to uncover new knowledge about COVID-19. The projects range from all areas of the university, from a plan to set up an expressive online art platform to a political science professor’s perspective .

BLACK LIVES

MATTER

Coronavirus wasn't the only thing that rocked the United States in 2020. After another unjust killing of a Black man by the hands of police, named George Floyd, Black Americans and their allies took to the streets to fight to end the injustices the have been plauging Black people for the past 400 years Story and Design by Olivia Ginsberg

George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor–just a few of the names of Black people that have died due to an epidemic of police brutality in America. On May 25, 2020, a black man named George Floyd was murdered in Minneapolis, MN at the hands of police. The officers on scene watched as Floyd's air supply was cut off from an officer's knee on his neck. His death took eight minutes and forty six seconds–no one with the authority to stop it intervened. Floyd's death sparked a nationwide movement calling for change to a system that wasn't built for everyone. Protests broke out all over the U.S., with thousands of people taking to the streets to support the movement for postive change. The protests–which would continue for months after Floyd's death–were met with

backlash for their lack of social distancing. However, protesters pushed on, wearing masks and taking precautions to fight unnecessary spread. Besides protests, activists took to social media to educate on topics such as white supremacy, racism and microaggresions, hoping to catalyze change by spreading information. On a local level, student leaders called for direct change at the University of Miami by detailing a plan to diversify and create resources for BIPOC students on campus. The plan caught the attention of administration, who hired Donald Spivey to be the new advisor to the president on racial justice. Administration is also working to implement more ideas in the upcoming school year.

building our Educating students to be the best and the brightest in the world-renowned field of Architecture as they prepare to be the next generation of architects and change makers in the future Story by Farha Reshamwala and Design by Gabby Rosenbloom

In the School of Architecture, students are used to hearing words such as “climate,” “environment,” and “sustainability” on a day-to-day basis. It is often a requirement for projects to feature sustainable elements and to be integrated into the environment of given sites, whether that be the natural or the built environment. This focus on responsible design is vital since Miami is at great risk of flooding due to the ever-rising sea levels.

ARCHITECTURE

Our global climate is rapidly changing, and the School of Architecture is changing with it. Current architecture students are required to take courses such as Architecture and the Environment, Environmental Building Systems, and Building Technology, each of which teaches students to be more aware of the relationship between design and the environment. As a result, students are becoming more aware of the impact

that their designs may have on future generations. Although the specifics of the program have evolved, U-SoA has always been environmentally conscious. From participating in design charrettes, collaborating on sustainability summits, hosting environmentally aware guest lecturers, to promoting green building competitions, the school has a rich history of advocating for the future.

The arts are an essential part of human existence. The College of Arts & Sciences allows students to explore their creative side in a safe, enriching and fulfilling way Story and Design by Gabby Rosenbloom

It is universally understood that an education in the arts can enhance many aspects of a person’s life. The arts departments within University of Miami College of Arts & Sciences offer spaces for students to express parts of themselves that fill their souls with joy. Dana Musso, a senior majoring in Graphic Design, who took classes in departments spanning across the art school said that “Learning new techniques guided by the best professors really made me eager to go to class every week. The professors really know how to help each student with their artistic style, ranging from abstract to hyper - realism. The painting studio hold a special place

in my heart because it was my home for four years and I really grew so much as an artist and overall person.” The sentiment of one’s department feeling like home is not exclusive to the art school. Over in Hecht Residential College, which houses the Department of Theatre Arts, freshman Musical Theatre Major Sheikh Nafis Muhtade says that “I feel very included and seen in the Department of Theatre Arts, and I needed that in order to become a better human and a better artist. They appreciate the uniqueness of an individual who comes into the program.” Echoing Musso’s thoughts about the caliber of the professors, it is this prestigious level

applying Students in the hard sciences are experts at knowing when to relax and when to hit the books. Whether they are throwing on a lab coat and performing critical research or taking what they have learned and applying it to an internship, these students are prepared for their futures as scientific leaders Story by Amrutha Chethikattil and Design by Karina Sloan

Computer science, biochemistry, psychology, and more are the wide array of majors that fill up the hard sciences at the College of Arts and Sciences. Students are taught to be empowered through learning communication abilities, cultural understanding, and technological competence. With endless research opportunities and the best professors, students are able to realize their full potential both inside and outside the classroom. Ye Chen is a freshman studying biochemistry. Ye has had the opportunity to work with professors and do lots of research, "I enjoy studying a mix between biology and chemistry, and I love the biochemistry advisors. They are really nice and helpful, and motivate us in topics concerning biochemistry. I research at the biochemistry molecular biology department at Miller Medical school. My specific research looks at mice and their behaviors under different situations. We began creating stressful environments to “depress” the mice and then trying to find ways to make them “happy” again and return to normal conditions.”

Q: What is your Major and why? A: Neuroscience. I enjoy learning

about the brain, the way people think, and how our physiology affects our psychology. Q: How do you apply what you have learned outside of the classroom? A: I work as a Peer Advising Liaison for the Neuroscience and Psychology Department,

helping other neuroscience majors along their path. I also research for the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis under PI Coleen Atkins. I research the effect of traumatic brain injury on learning and memory formation. I like applying knowledge from my classes to really improve human lives, and hopefully be a part of the new generation of medicine.”

Q: What has your experience been like at the

business school and how has it positively impacted your career goals? A: My experience studying at Miami Herbert Business School has been life-changing. The leadership, networking, and extracurricular activities at hand are second to none. An example being that I am currently involved in the Management 100 Team Leader Program which has provided me with the chance to guide first year students toward academic and social success. Through an emphasis on cultural awareness, team development tactics, and professionalism in the workplace, I am confident that the younger students will carry on the tradition of success. This is just one of the many opportunities Miami Herbert Business School has to offer its students.

HERBERT BUSINESS SCHOOL

One of the most renowned and highly ranked undergraduate business schools, it was recently renamed to honor Patti and Allan Herbert, two generous donors Story by Rachel Keller and Design by Karina Sloan

One unique aspect of the business school is how it introduces students to all of the business school areas of study. For example, a marketing major must take accounting and economics classes as business school prerequisites before taking courses specific to their major. Not only does this help students make an informed decision when officially choosing their major, but it also provides the students with a solid foundation in all areas of the business world. The school not only focuses intensely on job preparedness, but it also connects students with the tools needed to find jobs quickly and easily after graduation. The school puts an emphasis on career readiness by having students create resumes and LinkedIn profiles as freshmen, and continue to build upon them after gaining new experiences. Outside of class, business school students have many

resources that can be utilized. In addition to its normal business programs, the business school offers a variety of programs not commonly seen in other undergraduate business schools. If selected for the Dean’s Scholars program, students have the opportunity to earn both a Bachelors and Masters in Business Administration in only four years. Accelerated programs for MBAs are rare and can be especially helpful and time saving. It also offers a global business co-major, which allows students to be immersed into the business environment of a region of their choosing. Programs like these further prove that Miami Herbert Business school goes above and beyond to provide students the best educational experience possible, and they help to explain the tremendous success of our business school and its alumni.

The way we communicate with one another changes every day. From verbal chats to texting all the way to Tik Tok, students are learning to understand the future of communication Story by Justin Stevens and Design by Gabby Rosenbloom

Committed to developing forwardthinking, analytical, and ethical communication professionals, the School of Communication (SoC) prepares students to take on the shifting media landscape. Most classes have varying curriculums with lessons stemming from the most up-to-date knowledge on the media industry. Some professors write their lessons the day of the class because of the ever-changing industry. Students are then able to harness their skills and teachings through several different creative outlets such as UMTV,

Distraction Magazine, The Miami Hurricane and others. “The School of Communication fostered my creativity by challenging me in the classroom to think out of the box which helped me find my style and passion,” said Elizabeth Pozzuoli, a senior majoring in Public Relations with a minor in Marketing. “Then by being part of Distraction Magazine and Orange Umbrella, I was able to make my style and passion shine which will set me up for a long career in the communications industry.” The SoC provides students with real world examples and skills that translate from the classroom

to professional jobs. Senior, Tommy Fletcher, a Communication Honors student with a focus on Broadcast Journalism, said, “I was able to get a full-time job in the industry that I wanted as a junior at UM. I wouldn’t have been able to do that without my professors providing me the skills necessary to succeed.” Students who graduate from the SoC have the ability and knowledge to take on any new media outlet, merger or invention that shakes up the media industry. They are ready and prepared to help enhance the world through communication.

Dean Karin Wilkins began her first year as Dean of the School of Communication, becoming the SoC's first female dean. Wilkins received her Bachelor of Arts in interdisciplinary studies at Bucknell University and then received her master's degree and Ph.D. in Ccmmunication from the University of Pennsylvania Annenberg School for Communication. Before arriving at the University of Miami, she previously worked at the University of Austin at Texas for 24 years. While at UT Austin, she was the Director of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies and the Associate Dean for Faculty Advancement and Strategic Initiatives at the Moody College of Communication. Wilkins background greatly focuses on global communication and political engagement, making her the perfect fit for a place as diverse as Miami. She hopes to focus on the student's experiences by strengthening current programs and building new opportunities. And she is specifically focused on building experiential learning opportunities. “There are already great programs in the school, and that is something I want to make sure any student who wants to do that, can have a way to have those kinds of experiences,” Wilkins said. Dean Wilkins has continued to engage with her students and push the SoC to new heights. Story by Karina Sloan

Teaching education requires the best educators—the School of Education and Human Development is no exception Story by Noah Vesey and Design by Gabby Rosenbloom

Education is a tool for transformation. It helps students understand the problems of the world and, most vitally, begin to invent solutions. Integrating educational, psychological, and physical well-being into formal education, the University of Miami’s School of Education and Human Development, harnesses talent, research skills, and the experience of faculty to train the educators of the next generation. 2020 graduate Paige Ciluffo said, “I am forever grateful to my first professor in the Education department, Professor Menda, for opening my eyes to the injustices and

inequalities in education throughout the world, and for inspiring me to make a change in a child's life in any way I can.” Education bolsters young students’ confidence, letting them, at a young age, experience overcoming difficulty to learn something new. Education also offers self-esteem boosts in formative times in childrens’ lives – an experience of immaculate importance. “I am a true believer that teachers are the true superheroes of the world, and I am grateful for the opportunity to train to one day be that for a child somewhere.”

to the Educating the next generation of designers and builders who will be responsible for creating the map to the future is a big task, but the College of Engineering is up for the challenge Story and Design by Gabby Rosenbloom

The College of Engineering (CoE) is dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and education. This college is building the next generation of engineers in a way that prepares them for the industry. The world of engineering is known for its seamless combination of the analytical and the creative. It is not always easy to have these two facets of the human psyche work together; however, the foundation of CoE is based in collaboration so it is not surprising that they seem to have it figured out. “My favorite part of CoE is that we’re all a team,” said Amanda Beyrer, a senior majoring in Biomedical Engineering with minors in Mechanical

Engineering and Economics. “I never once felt as though us as students were competing against each other, instead we were all there to help each other out if it was necessary.” It is this essence of teamwork and collaboration that leaves graduates of the College of Engineering ready for the work force. This is evidenced by the fact that 83 percent of graduates secured post-grad plans and have held many prestigious internships. The people who pass through CoE come out with a greater sense of readiness for the world of the engineering industry. They are ready, willing and able to design and build a better future.

The School of Nursing and Health Studies (SONHS) operates under a very strict standard of excellence. This excellence is applied not onlhy to the expectations of the students but also the facilities, the professors, the clinicians and the programs. Olivia Drummond, a senior getting her Bachelor of Science in Nursing says that "Miami’s Traditional BSN program is known to prepare its students so well for the licensure exam (NCLEX-RN) that they have a first-time passing rate of about 98%. The professors, the clinical instructors, and the challenging grade standards all play a role in preparing the students extremely well to pass the NCLEX [the first time] and be prepared for future RN jobs." One of the key elements of SONHS is the simulation hospital which is housed in the heart of the Nursing building. This "sim" hospital allows students to get real-time, hands on practice for the exact things they are training for. Manequins, demo machines and medications are some of the things that give SONHS students such confidence as they enter the brave workforce of healthcare. The constant dedication to the work of both the educators and the students is palpable as one walks the halls of the SONHS building. The school's focus on collaboration and hands on learning is what preps students for success upon graduation. "Miami’s nursing school helped me to truly understand and think in the nursing mindset, which is crucial when critical thinking is necessary in a clinical or hospital setting," said Drummond. When a student leaves the university with a degree from SONHS, they know they are ready to be an RN.

HEART and MUSIC Frost School of Music is dedicated to serving their community in any way that they can. For these 'Canes, they are changing lives of others through music Story by Noah Vesey and Design by Gabby Rosenbloom

In early September of 2019, Hurricane Dorian struck the Bahamas, causing an estimated 3.4 billion dollars in damage. A few weeks later, Frost announced a benefit concert: Hurricane Relief for the Bahamas. The event was "an evening of live music to support those who were impacted by the devastation of Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas,” Daniel Lerner, a 2020 graduate in Media Writing & Production said. “Many ensembles and groups from all styles at Frost performed. I performed an original song with the American Music Ensemble.” The concert, organized by Professor of Practice and legendary musician Chuck Bergeron, featured multi-Grammy and Latin Grammy winners as well as various student and faculty ensembles. Every December since 2008, the Frost School of Music has held their annual Winter Wonderful Gala, and 2019 was no different. The evening included over 150 student singers and musicians, and the event raised over $200,000 for the Donna E. Shalala

MusicReach program. Their mission, according to their website, is to “enrich the education of underserved youth in the Miami-Dade community through unique and innovative music education programming while providing opportunities for Frost School of Music students to develop their teaching and community engagement skills.” Students at Frost are not only taught how to dissect, analyze and perform beautiful music, but are constantly encouraged to use their gifts and training to make a difference in the world. “The most valuable thing I learned at Frost is how to collaborate with other musicians. Before Frost, I never really wrote or even played with other people,” Lerner said. “I've learned the value of communicating with others through the art we make, as well as helping to lift one another up in our creative visions and artistic success.” Frost School of Music, year after year, remains committed to “playing it forward.”

With a hands on experiences like no other, students get a taste of educational research in coral reefs, rising sea levels, climate change and so much more Story by Michael MacHarg II and Design by Tanja Moissl

The Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences is the only college at the university to have its own campus, located on Virginia Key and its very own scientific research vessel named the R/V F.G. Walton Smith, which performs research. Sophomore Katherine DeVore discussed her research stating “working in SUSTAIN has given me amazing practical experience that shows how my major can be applied to improving hurricane forecasting, all while getting to work in a cutting edge hurricane tank.” The mission of their research is “to deepen our collective knowledge of our planet through cutting-edge scientific research on the oceans, atmosphere, geology, biota, and the human dimension, while training the next generation of

scientists” according to Dean Roni Avissar. RSMAS is best described as a community of students and professionals working on the cutting edge of marine research, and learning in the most hands on manner available. The Rosenstiel school offers its students the ability to earn degrees in six different undergraduate disciplines including marine affairs, geology, meteorology, marine biology and ecology, atmospheric sciences, and oceanography. RSMAS allows its students to study between these disciplines to become the best prepared members of the professional marine science field. However RSMAS is not always just hard work, the campus also features its very own bar run by the graduate students, appropriately named

WetLab. Many students enjoy drinks at WetLab while watching Biscayne Bay. In the last decade the Rosenstiel school has responded to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and performed dedicated research on Florida’s own red tide crisis; they opened the new SUSTAIN hurricane research center, the helicopter observation platform and the new scientific diver training pool, celebrating their 75th anniversary along the way. Recently the Rosenstiel school’s dedication to insuring for Earth’s future led them to host the Miami Climate Symposium of 2020 with lectures to predicting and living with extremes in the climate sciences.

ROSENTIEL SCHOOL OF MARINE AND ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE

In January, the Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies at the Rosenstiel School hosted the Miami Climate Symposium with the aim of predicting and living with extremes in weather. In his keynote address, Adam Sobel of Columbia University stated “We scientists come up with the science, and we figure out solutions, and those get translated into practice. But that last part doesn’t always work that way,” when discussing the politics that go into shaping the future of climate policy.

getting Fostering vigorous academic competition and collaboration is the key to crafting a future of smart and powerful leaders on their journey to many legal successes Story by Michael MacHarg II and Design by Gabby Rosenbloom

“It’s got a lot of heart. Students look out for each other, professors are always within reach, and staff never pass up a chance to help,” described third-year law student Romney Maron Manassa. The Law School manages to maintain the time consuming, competitive and challenging nature that the work requires, while still allowing students to make close relationships with their peers, and learn to collaborate on challenging situations.

“The most important thing for outsiders to know is that Miami Law is a collaborative community where our students support and look out for each other. While, the single hardest thing about law school was learning what works best for me in terms of learning material and preparing for class and exams. However, the law school has an amazing “Dean’s Fellow” program where an upperlevel (2L or 3L) offers first-year students a chance to participate in weekly study groups, which really helped me succeed,” said second-year law student Sydney Smith. Second-year law student Karina Oms added, “Miami Law has offered me a surplus of opportunities to better myself and my skills as a future lawyer and law student. Legal studies and legal work require enormous amounts of effort and organization and Miami gives you all the skills to handle the stresses of law school and succeed. Inside and outside the law, diligence and organization are two of the most important virtues of success, and I feel that Miami has given me the instruments to succeed.” Finally, third-year law student Meredith Shea added “By nature of reading thousands of pages of legal cases where people are suffering, it can be challenging to maintain optimism and positivity. Miami Law spends time hosting and curating events to engage with the community and to remind students to pause for successes and encourage support for each other.”

The ever persistent legacy of one of the giants of the musical theatre and Broadway industries Story by Michael MacHarg II and Design by Gabby Rosenbloom

Jerry Herman was an award-winning Broadway composer who penned uplifting and inspirational musicals like Hello, Dolly!, La Cage aux Folles, and Mame. Jerry Herman was a close part of the University of Miami community as an alumni, and the namesake for our Jerry Herman Ring Theatre. Herman’s brilliant work earned him three Tony Awards, the first being the 1964 Best Composer and Lyricist Tony for Hello, Dolly!, then the 1984 Best Original Score Tony for La Cage aux Folles, and finally the 2009 Special Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre. Herman also won two Grammy awards for his work the 1964 Song of the Year award for Hello Dolly! and the 1966 Best Score From An Original Cast Show Album award for Mame. Jerry Herman was even a Kennedy Center Honoree in 2010 for his lifetime contributions to the arts and American culture. Jerry Herman graduated from the University of Miami in 1953 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in drama and received a Doctor of Fine Arts degree in 1980 from the University of Miami. The University awarded him the Order of Merit in 1971, the Alumnus of Distinction in 1975, and the New York Alumnus of Distinction

in 1992. Jerry Herman was partnered with Martin Finkelstein until his death in 1990, Herman later partnered with Terry Marler. In 1961 after graduating he returned to his home town of New York, and composed the score to Milk and Honey, which won him his first Tony nomination. On January 19th 1993, the University of Miami’s Board of Trustees officially renamed the then ring theatre as “The Jerry Herman Ring Theatre Complex,” in honor of Herman’s theatrical success and continued support towards his alma matter. Leonidas Bachas, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, stated “We are deeply saddened by news of Jerry Herman’s passing … His profound contribution to the world of Broadway and musical theatre illustrates his remarkable gift in creating narrative through the art of songwriting. He will live on as a major visionary and inspirational source for our talented students in the Department of Theatre Arts.”

UHealth has become a major medical and academic center after consolidating their three hospitals into a single operational model. With the severity of this year's pandemic, UHealth has played an important role in fighting COVID-19 including: developing rapid tests, seeking effective treatments, informing the public about risks and prevention, and working toward a vaccine. From the beginning, UHealth has been on the front lines of safety for the public. In August, the team partnered with the City of Miami to offer free COVID-19 testing to local children of all ages in UM's Pediatric Mobile Clinic. Not only has the team at UHealth worked hard in the

'Canes come from all across the world to get the best education possible. But their learning doesn't stop there, the most important part about getting a true educational experience is getting out of your comfort zone, branching out into the world and gaining unforgettable experiences outside of the classroom Story and Design by Karina Sloan

When it comes to attending college, students are opened up to an entire new world of possibilities. You can choose your own major, join extracurricular clubs related to your various interests, or even learn to support and be a part of sports teams. But, one of the most unique aspects of being in college is the ability to study abroad. Study abroad differs greatly from the ordinary college experience on campus. Students get to choose where they want to travel and learn for either a couple of weeks or an entire semester. From China and Spain, to Australia and the Galapagos, there is a place for every student and their interests. Many 'Canes choose to spend a semester during their junior and senior year so that they can take elective courses and spend a lot of their time exploring the city. Many of them come back to campus with unforgettable experiences and memories that changed their lives forever.

The December Commencement Ceremony, albeit smaller, is equally as momentous as the Spring Ceremony Story and Design by Gabby Rosenbloom

When we think of graduation, our minds typically jump to the Spring. However, the University of Miami offers an equally as beautiful ceremony for students graduating at the end of the Fall semester. Since there are fewer graduates, the ceremony is smaller in size. "The ceremony felt more unique since it was smaller and was all the graduates at Miami. Undergrad was not broken down by school so it was nice to see everyone graduate together from different schools and even the law school," said December graduate, Jorge Chabo.

The intimacy of the smaller graduation allows students a dually beautiful opportunity. Not only do they get to graduate with their friends, they also get the celebration for this wonderful milestone that another institution may not offer for Fall graduates. "My favorite part was when we’re all getting set up to graduate and we’re able to meet up and see friends and faculty all preparing for the ceremony—it’s bittersweet," said Chabo.

FACEDOWN The new Miami competes against the Gators in the college football opener hoping to start the year with a fresh mindest, new talent, and a demand for a higher standard Story by Jorge Chabo and Design by Karina Sloan

The ‘Canes met an old rival, facing off against the Gators in the season opener at the neutral ground location, Camping World Stadium. Two of the top Florida teams go head-to-head in the first game of the season with ESPN hosting their gameday show at Disney World to top off the excitement. Not only was this a long awaited rivalry, it was the highly anticipated first game of the “New Miami” for head coach Manny Diaz. "We're obviously very honored to be opening up the 150th college football season a week ahead of everybody else," Diaz said. "Not just the fact that it's Miami, but the fact that it's Miami and Florida – two of the big three schools in Florida. When you think about the history of college football, the sport may not have been invented in this state, but it was certainly revolutionized in this state. You're talking about 11 national championships in less than the last 40 years, that's over a quarter, by my math. To have two of the marquee programs in this state open up the curtains on the 2019 season is a pretty cool thing that we're excited to be a part of." Jarren Williams, a redshirt freshman, was the starting quarterback for the opener leading the charge. Although the game resulted in a loss, the team fought hard against Florida, providing them with a challenge. The final score was 24-20 against a No. 8 team while Miami was unranked. Defense made big plays against the Gators as they got a chance to showcase the new turnover chain with a giant “305” representing Miami’s area code. Offense got some bling this season as well as they introduced the touch down rings after securing their first entrance into the redzone. The opener was a wild ride as it showcased this new team and the potential they hold for the rest of the season, ultimately coming down to a muffed punt that led to the final Gator touchdown. Coach Diaz said he felt the pain of the loss but thought the team played with a lot of courage for what many of them considered their first game together.

Defense shines as they hold back 19th ranked Virginia from dominating offensively or defensively on the field Story by Jorge Chabo and Design by Karina Sloan

Manny Diaz’s first season as head coach has been a bumpy ride filled with all sorts of surprises. With that comes Miami’s first ACC win for the season as the ‘Canes upset the Cavaliers. Closing out at 17-9, it placed Miami at 3-3 overall, keeping them on the hunt for the second division title. After showing their resilience against Virginia Tech, fighting back from a 28-point deficit coming up short just at the end, Miami was quick to prove themselves against UVA. The Cavaliers came into this game averaging 32 points per game, but against the ‘Canes they couldn’t even get into the end zone once. Miami held them at three field goals with five sacks, forced two fumbles and recovered one dispatching the turnover chain to get the crowd going. A crowd of about 55,000 witnessed Miami’s defense keep the Cavaliers out of the endzone for four quarters. "There's no magic… there's a lot of pride in the guys that play on that defense. There's a lot of pride on that coaching staff," Diaz said after the win. "I thought they had our players very well prepared this week. It was simply just a matter of doing our jobs and trusting ourselves. It gets back to that part about being relentless because that was the issue." As for the offense, N’Kosi Perry wasted no time in taking advantage of the defensive momentum. With a screen from Perry to Dallas capping the drive with a 17-yard touchdown pass put the Hurricanes ahead in the first quarter. The audience roared as Miami continued to overperform Virginia, a much-needed jolt after coming close to beating Virginia Tech in the final moments of the previous game. Once the Cavaliers had suffered two incomplete passes near the end of the game, Miami’s victory was inevitable as the sideline erupted with celebration.

even harder Low ranked opponents like FIU and Georgia Tech continue to defeat the ‘Canes on the field, decreasing their chances of having a strong season Story and Design by Karina Sloan

Miami continued to face hardships. Up against two teams that were nowhere near as talented, the ‘Canes fell to the Florida Panthers (FIU) and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. In Miami’s face off against the Yellow Jackets, they ended the regulation tied 21-21. Hoping to conquer overtime and secure a win against the lowest ranked team in the ACC, the Canes fell just short of beating the Yellow Jackets after N’Kosi Perry hit Brevin Jordan just shy of the Georgia Tech fouryard line. The ‘Canes ultimately fell short due to trick plays, blocked kicks, and an inability to convert in the red zone. “Obviously very disappointed in the result. Certainly had more than enough chances to win this football game. Some mistakes early on gave them (Yellow Jackets) hope, gave them life. They did a good job possessing the football in the second half, wearing us down," said head coach Manny Diaz.

FOOTBALL

Similar to their showdown against the Yellow Jackets, the ‘Canes had a historic loss to FIU. This was the Hurricanes first loss to a non-Power Five conference team since 2015. The Panthers left the ‘Canes scoreless in the first half of the game, forcing the team to take it to the next level in the second half. Remaining nearly scoreless in the first three quarters forced Miami to battle back but still lost after a late touchdown by the Panthers. Redshirt freshman quarterback, Jarren Williams, took the blame for Miami’s loss, “This is a tough one to swallow. Those guys were aggressive. They were biting on a lot of our routes coming down. It’s really on me. It starts with me.” The inability to convert has led to a very disappointing record for Miami ending with four wins and four losses in the conference and six wins and seven losses overall.

No established quarterback, countless mistakes, and upsetting losses lead to a disappointing season for 'Canes football and Manny Diaz’s first season as head coach. In the final stage against Louisiana Tech, the ‘Canes were determined to prove themselves during their last game. But, with the lack of some key players on both offense and defense, the ‘Canes were unable to finish strong. After a scoreless first quarter for both teams, LA Tech opened the second quarter with a 26-yard touchdown to give the Bulldogs a lead. While there were promising performances by senior linebacker, Shaquille Quarterman, and defensive lineman, Gregory Rousseau, the Canes still finished short. LA Tech solidified their victory in the fourth quarter getting a final touchdown with 1:15 remaining, ending the game with a 14-0 victory.

Personal bests as well as personal growth powered the team during a short season Story by Austin Pert and Design by Karina Sloan

At the Atlantic Coast Conference Championships in Blacksburg, VA, an entire league slate came to fruition as multiple 'Canes set personal records. Junior, Emma Langlois, was the leading UM runner on the women’s side, finishing the six-kilometer course with a mark of 23:33.1. Senior, Alison Johnson, also completed the race in personal best fashion at 26:14.3, more than two minutes faster than her previous record. On the Men’s side, freshmen took on a leading role in the 10k. Two of the top three males at the meet were rookies, headlined by Dillon Fields, with a mark of 26:40.8 and Andrew Madden with a time of 27:20.9. Upperclassmen Dylan Sykes and Matthew Wiefels rounded out the top four for Miami with times under 28 minutes. Sykes and Langlois each got the chance to continue beyond the ACC circuit, with the duo once again boasting personal best times at the NCAA South Regionals. Nearly a minute and a half separated Langlois’ time from her previous record after she crossed the finish at 22:46.6, while Sykes cut his PR by more than three minutes by finishing at 32:53.3. “I’m especially excited for Emma and Dylan,” Coash Cody Halsey said. “Both ran huge PBs and both beat more than 30 people, which is more than they did last year." The promise of the freshmen class combined with the experience Sykes and Langlois will set the 'Canes up for a successful future.

Falling short, the 'Canes finished off with a four game losing streak to NC State, Louisville, FSU, and Georgia Tech. Many 'Canes were out for the season due to injury including seniors, Cameron Dobbs and Bridget Wallenberger, pushing the rest of the team to learn fast and execute. “We are working on talking about new things, different things so individually we are growing, as a team we are going. A lot of teams were more mature than us this year and that’s been tough,” said Coach Jose “Keno” as he looks forward to next season.

SENDIN' IT to the HOLE Led by a strong core of juniors and seniors, 'Canes fought hard during a tough season, ultimately having some exciting wins and difficult loses to end the year Story by Austin Pert and Design by Nhat Nguyen

The Hurricanes were faced with a rebuilding season at Cobb Stadium, but that didn’t mean the season was free of team and individual highlights. Even against a tough schedule filled with six ranked opponents, UM proved to be a tough and determined bunch each time they stepped on the field. Junior, Tia Dupont, led the team with 11 points by way of three goals and five assists, with teammates Senior Bayleigh Chaviers and Freshman Ine Østmo joining Dupont by finding the back of the net three times each. Seniors Lauren Markwith and Kristina Fisher, Freshman Maria Jakobsdottir and Sophomore Selena Fortich also logged multiple goals on the season. In goal, Sophomore Tyler Speaks was a force, making 56 saves on the year with a Goals Against Average of 1.82 per match. Twice she recorded shutouts, and her save percentage stood at .709 after the season’s final whistle. The penultimate match of the year proved to be the overall team highlight, when the No. 15 Clemson Tigers came to Coral Gables. UM found themselves behind late in the game after Clemson goals in the 76th and 87th minutes, only to answer both times in the 78th and 89th. With just 11 minutes remaining before the teams would’ve been awarded a mutual draw, a Fortich goal off of a Michelle Giamportone corner kick sent the Hurricane crowd home with a signature golden goal win. “You expect to get better as the season progresses, of course. And I think we definitely did, no question," Head coach Sarah Barnes told Hurricane Athletics after the final match. "I think we have been defending at a higher level and we started working back. I think as you start to get better you continue to build more confidence. And what I think is most impressive with this group and in particular these seniors is that there were a number of consecutive losses and I think that is really hard to take that failure time, after time, after time. But they never let it get them down and they never let it change their effort or their focus. And they each believed that we could come out and do it.”

Redshirt senior David Dinsmore made it four-for-four at February’s Atlantic Coast Conference Championships in Greensboro, NC by taking the gold medal in the platform dive event, something he has done each of his years as a Hurricane. With a score of 510.35, he was also joined by three of his teammates in the top four. Junior Zach Cooper (434.65), freshman Max Flory (429.15) and freshman Brodie Scapens (387.10) rounded out UM’s platform placeholders. “It was so cool the way they were cheering for each other and competing against each other. There was a lot of energy,” head diving coach Randy Ableman said. “They’re the ones that wanted to finish 1-2-3-4. Each one just brought their ‘A’ game. They just kept one-upping each other. It was a great setup for the end of the year.”

SPORTS SWIMMING AND DIVING

Flory and Scapens would go on to qualify for the NCAA Championships after impressing at the NCAA Zone B regional qualifiers in March with scores of 781.00 and 767.90 respectively. On the swimming front, two Hurricanes recorded personal record marks at the conference championships. Junior Alaina Skellett completed the 200-yard backstroke with a time of 1:56.21 while sophomore Zorry Mason clocked in a 2:12.40 performance at the 200-yard breaststroke. “There was lots of good and still lots left to do. We’re excited,” Head swim coach Andy Kershaw said. “I’m really proud of our group, especially our seniors. They’ve put a lot into this. I know they care a lot about it and that’s what makes the difference. That’s what it’s about. I’m excited to see where they go.”

When No. 2 Duke came to South Florida, the Blue Devils proved to be too much the 'Canes Story by Austin Pert and Design by Ashley Stand

The Duke Blue Devils showed the 7,049 fans at the Watsco Center what a national title contender looked like when they earned a 9562 win over UM. For the Canes, it proved that much work was needed.The Blue Devils took a 50-36 lead into halftime to cap off a late half run where they made 12 of 15 shots from the field. Duke shot just under 60% from the field, exactly 20 percentage points ahead of the Hurricanes. UM was also just 2-12 from 3-point range. Juniors Kameron McGusty and Sam Waardenburg led the Canes with 12 and 11 points respectively, with Waardenburg’s six rebounds being the most a Miami player recorded that evening. Junior guard Chris Lykes registered four of the six total assists. But even in defeat, head coach Jim Larrañaga said his team did everything they could. "They didn't do anything that threw us off our game," Larrañaga said, "[Duke] does everything to make your life miserable and they do that against everybody."

The longest game in program history had both teams pushing for a win, but Miami would be the one who prevailed as victorious Story by Austin Pert and Design by Ashley Stand

The Hurricanes had never seen one of their games go into a third overtime period, so when it finally happened, they made sure that they wouldn’t go into the history books without a 10295 victory at Virginia Tech. The longest Atlantic Coast Conference matchup in 17 years had everyone on both sides exhausted, but freshman Isaiah Wong had enough in the tank to score a game-high 27 points and 12 rebounds. Teammates Chris Lykes and Kameron McGusty also added 23 and 21 points respectively. Wong especially shined late in the contest, with his team down seven points with less than five minutes remaining, he delivered 11 consecutive points, before a Keith Stone basket and free throw tied the game with just five

seconds remaining in regulation. As a team, UM shot 42% from the field, 25% from 3-point range and 91% from the free throw line. Lykes led the Canes going 3-7 from beyond the arc, while Wong made all 14 of his free throw attempts. "I think all the ACC games are a challenge. There are so many overtime games and games that are decided by five or less points," Head coach Jim Larrañaga told Hurricane Athletics after the contest. "We expect every ACC game to be a struggle and then you just have to find a way." The win gave Miami a season sweep over the Hokies after previously defeating them 71-61 at the Watsco Center earlier in the season.

The Hurricanes were able to rally the troops for a war against perennial Atlantic Coast Conference power Syracuse on senior day, even though leading scorer Chris Lykes was absent from the contest due to a head injury. The result was the buzzer sounding on the fourth overtime game of the season with UM leading 69-65, earning one of the signature wins of the year. Neither side led by more than six during the evening, with just two points separating the teams at halftime. Freshman Isaiah Wong led the Canes with 18 points, with senior DJ Vasiljevic right behind with 17 and junior Kameron McGusty adding 13. Vasiljevic also went 5-13 from 3-point range, while Wong’s nine rebounds equaled a team-high.

Miami shot 37% from the field and 32% from beyond the arc, while holding the Orange to just 20% shooting from distance. "One of the things that happens in these close games is players need to step up and make big plays. [Vasiljevic] did, Wong did and McGusty did," Head coach Jim Larrañaga said in a statement to Hurricane Athletics after the game. "I thought Keith Stone's defense and rebounding were a huge key. Wong had nine rebounds, so that obviously was very, very important. We were able to really guard their 3-point shooters very well, which was a real stumbling block early in the season." The win made UM 3-1 in overtime games in the season and evened their overall regular season record at 15-15.

Falling behind by as much as 13 before halftime, the Hurricanes found themselves in a hole they weren’t able to overcome against the Florida State Seminoles on Jan. 5, falling 7362 at the Watsco Center. The matchup was a highly anticipated one as FSU entered Coral Gables ranked No. 8 to face No. 23 Miami. While the final score wasn’t indicative of a productive afternoon, the final box score reflected a number of positives. UM outrebounded the ‘Noles 36-33 and forced 21 turnovers, Mykea Gray scored a gamehigh 21 points and Brianna Jackson logged a double-

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

double with 14 points and 10 rebounds. In the final quarter, the Hurricanes closed the gap to as little as seven points before the FSU pulled back ahead by double digits. Miami was also without star senior Beatrice Mompremier. The shooting gap is what made the difference in the result, with the Seminoles making 52% of their shots from the field and 58% from 3-point range. UM was under 40% in both catagories. "We played hard enough to win today but we didn't play smart enough and we'll fix that," said head coach Katie Meier.

adversity

WIth victory suddenly in doubt, Miami had to dig deep to secure the win Story by Austin Pert and Design by Ashley Stand

The Hurricanes were coming off two straight tough losses before taking on the Clemson Tigers at the Watsco Center. They looked to be easily putting their losing streak behind them, but Miami quickly saw a 22-point, second half lead completely evaporate with 1:19 to play. With the score suddenly tied at 64, how would the Canes respond? Perfectly. The next possession saw junior guard Kelsey Marshall knocked down a 3-pointer to give UM a lead they shouldn’t again relinquish en route to a 68-64 victory. Head coach Katie Meier could breathe a sigh of relief—having defeated a former assistant coach looking to spoil their reunion. "At the end of the day, we did what we needed to do to secure the win so I'm excited for my team," Katie Meier said after the game. "We played 30 minutes of really connected basketball and, while a dry spell happened to pop up in the third quarter, we withstood it and ultimately got the win." Marshall’s late shot was the highlight of a gamehigh 22-point performance. Junior guard Mykea Gray added 16 points while freshman forward Brianna Jackson added 10. Freshman forward Destiny Harden pulled down a team-high seven rebounds in the victory. Even as the game tightened late, the Canes won in large part due to their advantages in a number of key team stats. They outshot the Tigers from the field (.393-.390) and beyond the 3-point arc (.296-.263), while also winning the turnover battle (18-10).

The Hurricanes took the Watsco Center court for the final time in 2019-20, looking to put a bow on the regular season on senior day against the Pittsburgh Panthers. For the over 1,000 fans in attendance, they would not be disappointed as Miami cruised to a 73-54 win. The result was never in doubt. UM was up 10 by the time the first quarter was over, and took a 16-point lead into halftime, milking their advantage up to as much as 26 points midway through the second half. Senior forward Beatrice Mompremier recorded an important milestone in her final home game, pulling down her 1,000th career rebound, part of a double-double

against Pitt with 13 points and 10 rebounds. Junior guards Kelsey Marshall and Mykea Gray as well as freshman forward Brianna Jackson joined Mompremier in double-figures, scoring 21, 19 and 11 points respectively. Miami’s 49 total rebounds was the most they had during an Atlantic Coast Conference contest, while they made 10 3-point shots in a game for the fourth time in the season. The Canes didn’t just dominate on the scoreboard, but also on the statsheet, leading the Panthers in every major team metric including field goal percentage (.356.316), 3-point percentage (.370.316), rebounds (49-39) and takaways (17-11). “I'm proud of my team. I think our experience really showed, and we answered when we needed to, so it's nice, that's two wins in a row. I think if you've watched our team all year, we're playing our best basketball this season right now,” said head coach Katie Meier after the game.

SPORTS MEN'S TENNIS

The Hurricanes were on a roll when the COVID-19 pandemic prematurely ended spring sports, leaving the final result of a very promising season undetermined. Finishing with a 10-2 overall record and a 3-0 conference mark, UM saw themselves ranked as high as No. 21 nationally. The season ended in unconventional fashion, but a shoutout win over rival FSU made sure it concluded in exclamatory fashion. All three Atlantic Coast Conference wins were against opponents ranked in the top45, with Miami claiming 15 of the 17 team match points during this exceptional threematch run. Eight of UM’s 12 regular season matches resulted in shutout victories. Junior Adria Soriano Barrera was named co-ACC Player of the Week after UM’s dominating win over the Seminoles, capping off a year where he commanded the team’s lead as the top singles player. The Barcelona native went 9-2 in individual singles matches during the regular season. "It [was] a huge win for us," said Soriano Barrera. "They are our rivals and beating them gives us confidence moving forward, because we know that they are a great team, and the way we handled them showed that we are ready for what's next." While Miami wasn’t able to realize their potential during the spring, the team and head coach Aljosa Piric have much to look forward to next season. They will return the vast majority of their roster including Soriano Barrera as well as other key pieces in Franco Aubone, William Grattan-Smith, Benjamin Hannestad, and Bojan Jankulovski.

Story by Austin Pert and Design by Karina Sloan

With only two seniors on the roster, the 'Canes proved that youth was far from a liability for them. UM was consistently ranked among the nation’s best, sitting at No. 20 when the season was abruptly halted. Two of Miami’s best triumphs came after defeating both Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech. Georgia Tech was ranked at No. 8 while Virginia Tech ended up being their last season game and win, ranking at No. 41. Individually, six of the eight women on the roster finished the regular season with individual winning records, with Estela Perez-Somarriba going 7-1, freshman Florencia Urrutia going 6-1, and Selma Cadar joining Urrutia with a 6-1 record. As one of the only seniors on the team, Perez-Somarriba entered the season with powerful momentum after winning the singles national championship as a junior. Her 25-3 individual singles record earned her a fourth Intercollegiate Tennis Association AllAmerican honor, while setting an all-time program record after winning her 135th career singles match on Jan. 26, and finishing the season with 141 career victories. The COVID-19 pandemic cut the season short and ended any hopes of PerezSomarriba successfully defending her title, at least for this year. But the Madrid native plans to take advantage of new NCAA rules that will allow all spring sport studentathletes to gain an extra year of eligibility, opening the door for a second championship run and pushing the team once again to bigger and better heights.

FOUNDATION The crew team focuses on strength and teamwork looking towards their racing season Story by Austin Pert and Design by Karina Sloan

Rowing’s main focus is their sprint season: the spring. With the majority of the season eliminated due to COVID-19, we can still look back and appreciate the hard work and results the team saw over their preseason racing and training. The team raced twice over their fall season, getting a feel for the team and their goals for the spring. The freshman 8 outshone the two varsity boats at their season closing head race, the Rivanna Romp in Earlysville, VA. Among early morning practices, sacrificed vacation time and hefty training, the team was looking ready for a strong spring performance. Olympia Binos, a freshman sitting in the stroke seat of the varsity 8, expressed excitement for the potential of the young team. Gabi Lopez set a notable personal record in spring training: a 7:15 2k erg test. Several other rowers pulled times in the low to mid 7:20’s, which was a lot faster than where the team was only a few weeks before. “The toughest moment of the season would probably have to be when we got on the plane to Atlanta for our race in Tennessee to later find out that all races had been suspended, then 20 minutes later that our whole season was over; this is all whilst waiting in the Atlanta mall for 6 hours while we wait to fly back home,” said Binos. “It is pretty heartbreaking as a freshman I never got to have my first 2km regatta as a part of my new crew; however, I can’t wait to get back out on the water with all my teammates!”

Story by Austin Pert and Design by Karina Sloan

The season was an exciting one for the Hurricanes, which unfortunately was cut short due to COVID-19. The best results were at the UCF Challenge in Orlando, where they finished 3rd out of 16 total teams with a three-round total of 850 strokes, 14 below par. The event also gave senior Renate Grimstad her first individual tournament title, shooting 202 overall and 14 below par, good for margin of seven strokes between the Norway native and the second-place finisher. Grimstad—who was named the Atlantic Coast Conference’s golfer of the month in February—led her squad to a very productive season overall. In addition to the third-place finish in Orlando, Miami finished in fourth at the Betsy Rawls Invitational in Austin, Tex., third at the Jim West Challenge in San Marcos, Tex. and second at the Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. Four of the seven members on the roster were underclassmen, including three freshmen, leaving plenty of room for future improvement for an already accomplished team. With the NCAA ruling that spring sport senior student-athletes can return for an additional season due to the pandemic, head coach Patti Rizzo has the opportunity to have her entire team back for next season.

Unbeknown to the Hurricanes, their season was about to be cut short abruptly due to COVID-19. Multiple major meets were cancelled, including two in Coral Gables. But if there was any meet to end the year on, it would’ve been the Atlantic Coast Conference Indoor Championship, where multiple Miami athletes shined. Miami’s women placed second overall at the ACC Indoor meet, with plenty of individual accolades as well. Debbie Ajagbe took home the championship hardware in the shot put with a mark of 16.80 meters, earning the junior ACC Field MVP honors. "Debbie had an awesome day and really set the tone for the weekend," director of Track and Field/Cross Country Amy Deem told Hurricane Athletics. "That's what it's all about, coming out during the championships and competing with a lifetime best. She works every day toward this and I'm so happy for her." A number of other competitors also metaled during the weekend event, including Brittny Ellis placing second in the 400 Meter with a season-best 52.71 second time, Jacious Sears grabbing third prize in the 200 Meter, while Hannah-Sophia Hall finished third in the shot put with a personal best 16.40 Meter throw.

MEDALS ON MEDALS Jacious Sears made her way to the podium twice during the ACC Championships winning second and third in the 60m and 200m dash. She tied her personal best in the 60m dash with a time of 7.25 seconds. She also finished third in the 200m dash with a time of 23.68 seconds, scoring 14 total team points. Photo by Ashleigh Young

RECORDS While halted before an outdoor meet took place, the indoor season provided a glimpse of Miami’s individual and collective potential Story by Austin Pert and Design by Karina Sloan

A pair of Hurricanes were rising towards being the faces of the team, snagging their fair share of award spots on the metal table meet after meet. Senior, Raheem Chambers, matched his second-place finish at the meet a year prior, finishing the 60 Meter with a time of 6.61 seconds. A team leader, Chambers was named ACC Track Athlete of the Week on Jan. 22, after winning the 60 Meter event at the Wolverine Invitational and sitting on the No. 3 national ranking before his planned appearance at the NCAA Indoor Championships. On the field side, junior, Kevin Arreaga, put himself in the leadership role, winning the weight throw at the season-opening Wolverine Invitational with a 20.94m toss. He would eclipse that mark later in the season at the Texas Tech Invitational with a

personal and program-record 21.82m throw. The ACC Indoor Championships was the final event of the abruptly halted season, where multiple Hurricanes recorded top performances, fittingly capping off the year before any studentathlete expected it to end. “We'd worked so hard all season. To go there and the day before competition, to go to the track to practice and hear we couldn't enter the facility, that was really, really disappointing," said Chambers. But with all spring sport student-athletes given an extra year of eligibility, Chambers will get to pick up where he left off next year. “I'd say I have unfinished business. I would love to come back and finish strong for the University."

BASKING in the rain

Even when things may not appear to be going your way, in baseball, fortunes can change in a moment’s notice, especially for the 'Canes Story by Austin Pert and Design by Karina Sloan

Three days after losing a trio of games to the No. 1 ranked to UF, the Hurricanes also lost a three-run lead to South Florida in the late innings of a non-conference contest. Worse yet, dark clouds literally moved over Mark Light Field. Miami needed a ninth inning run, not just to put the once one-sided game back out of doubt for good, but to avoid a potentially lengthy rain delay stuck languishing in the locker room. A leadoff strikeout briefly dimmed hopes. Adrian Del Castillo singled with one out, bringing the remaining fans who were braving the intensifying showers to their feet as power hitter Raymond Gil next stepped up to the plate. Was any Mark Light magic about to transpire? Even after falling behind 0-2 in the count, the answer to that question was a resounding yes, as Gil slugged a slider beyond the fence to the left field scoreboard. The home run gave the Canes a 7-5 win right as playing conditions were quickly deteriorating and made the third baseman the hero of the week. "Nothing's really changed, we just keep battling," Gil said after his walk-off homer. "We've always talked about if we are going to be the team we want to be, we've got to win close games…we've got to keep the confidence and keep fighting and know that we're good enough to win those close games."

THE FENCES

In spite of a season that was cut short with little notice, the bar has continued to be set higher and higher as each team brings a new intensity every time they take to the field Story by Austin Pert and Design by Karina Sloan

Coming off a breakout 2019 campaign, 2020 looked to be the year that the Hurricanes would put everything together and compete for a spot in the College World Series in Omaha. UM featured three standout pitching arms in Brian Van Belle, Chris McMahon and Slade Cecconi. 2019’s Atlantic Coast Conference home run leader Alex Toral was back and primed to eclipse the 24 HR mark he set as a sophomore, while a talented crop of freshmen would supplement the roster. Unfortunately for coach Gino DiMare’s team, the pandemic would abruptly halt a very promising season. Finishing 2020 with a 12-4 record and a 3-0 mark in conference play, Miami was left to wonder what may have happened throughout the remainder of the campaign. While fans will never get to know for sure, a few clues foreshadowed a very successful spring.

The 'Canes spent a week ranked as the No. 1 team in America. Junior Raymond Gil hit a picturesque walk-off home run in the rain against South Florida. Toral followed suit just over a week later against Pittsburgh. Pitchers Van Belle and McMahon recorded earned run averages of 0.68 and 1.05. And sophomore Adrian Del Castillo continued to impress behind at the plate with a .358 AVG. “Every team is unique, and every team is special in its own way. This year’s team was a special group that had the potential to do some special things,” DiMare said in a statement over Twitter upon the suspension of the season. While many of UM’s pitching arms were seen as elite assets that were gobbled up by professional organizations, the Canes will return much of their batting order and bullpen for another shot at achieving their goals in 2021.

Every spring semester, all six soroities participate in Bid Day to recruit new members Story by Annette Rizo and Design by Isabella Vaccaro

With a new semester, Greek hopefuls seek acceptance into their new families as more than 701 students participating in spring rush. From the help of recruitment counselors to the events leading to bid day, networking and friendships were formed in the making. All six sororities- Alpha Delta Pi, Chi Omega, Delta Delta Delta, Delta Phi Epsilon, Sigma Delta Tau and Zeta Tau Alpha- participated in recruitment. As Bid Day arrived, excitement and anxiety rose amongst potential members gathering around The Rock waiting to reveal to their new chapters and spend the day with them. Sorority members shouted and chanted all day long celebrating and welcoming new “sisters" in the Panhellenic community. “Being able to see incoming members have new light in them when revealing their bid acceptance reminded me of my bid day reveal. I hope Greek life can further expand itself in incoming years to come, accepting those who would like to join no matter who they are” said Sophomore Madison Mihailuk, a sister of Chi Omega.

Greek men in IFC have not one, but two bid days a year, allowing them to introduce a slew of new members into their respective brotherhoods—welcome to the family new bids Story by Annette Rizo and Design by Isabella Vaccaro

All 11 fraternities—Alpha Epsilon Pi, Alpha Sigma Phi, Beta Theta Pi, Lambda Chi Alpha, Phi Delta Theta, Pi Kappa Alpha, Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Alpha Mu, Sigma Chi and Sigma Phi Epsilon—participated in the Interfraternity Council’s Bid Day, which took place over at the Lakeside Patio, welcoming new brothers into each of their communities, as a tradition. Joining Greek life at the U gives students a sense of comradery and identity throughout the four years of their collegiate careers. Introducing this old tradition into the new decade allows for students to cherish their organizations' values along with creating new memories until a new decade allows for this cycle of sisterhood and brotherhood to thrive once more.

Greek week allows students to interact with other Greek associations as they celebrate new members and the graduation of older members. Lucky, these Greeks got to spend time as a family before the Coronavirus pandemic struck worldwide. Let's take a trip down memory lane on this spring's Greek Week festivities.

Bright lights and a big stage is all these greeks need in order to fill the air with team spirit and everlasting friendships Story by Annette Rizo and Design by Isabella Vaccaro

Filled with unity and spirit, O-Cheer allows for the Greek organizations at the University of Miami to work vigorously in creating original choreography, endless friendships, and camaraderie across various chapters. “Everyone from each team gathers around to watch and we as an exec board, with members from almost every chapter, work with each team to rehearse, set up, and perform. We walk away all knowing more people outside our chapter because of the bonds we build at this event” said Senior Emily Gossett, co-chair of Greek Week and a sister of Zeta Tau Alpha. With the help of O-Cheer’s co-chairs, senior, Kelly Ajello of DPHIE, and junior, Liam Higgins of SAE, they were able to announce Team Coachella comrpised of Zeta Tau Alpha (ZTA), Alpha Sigma Phi (AlphaSig), Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPI), and Multicultural Greek Organization (MGC) as this year’s O-Cheer winner. It can certainly be said that O-Cheer sews together the sisterhood and brotherhood atmosphere within Greek life and also brings the competitiveness and creativity of a true Hurricane.

Brothers and sisters from across the nation embrace their legacy and leave their footprint Story by Annette Rizo and Design by Isabella Vaccaro

Enriched with fierce brother-and-sisterhood while making an impact in the livelihood of African American students throughout their undergraduate years, the National Pan-Hellenic Council promotes scholarship, community outreach, and securing the legacy of their founders both academically and culturally. “The NPHC is different because it is home to all of the historically black fraternities and histories who, over history, have played major roles in advocating for the justice of black people throughout America's history,” said junior Aaron “Marckell” Williams, president of the National Pan-Hellenic Council and a brother of Omega Psi Phi fraternity. “Joining the NPHC changed my academic and personal life at the U by pushing me to be more of a leader on campus,” said Williams. “By being more involved in student affairs and improving the quality of student life at the U, this experience has already affected me greatly and I am excited for the opportunities and growth that is still to come.”

a community for THE PEOPLE With four campus chapters, MGC brings together individuals from various backgrounds Story by Annette Rizo and Design by Isabella Vaccaro

Composed of four Greek organizations—Delta Epsilon Psi, Phi Iota Alpha, Lambda Theta Alpha, and Sigma Lambda Gamma—the Multicultural Greek Council at the University of Miami reflects the cultural awareness of the city of Miami and of the student body. “Our council is unique in that we focus on multicultural awareness and advocacy through various principles engrained in our MGC sororities and fraternities. We also provide a space for many multicultural students (ranging from LatinX, Asian, African American and more) to be able to learn, advocate and grow in their personal and professional careers,” said Jarelis Cabrera, a sister of Lambda Theta Alpha and president of the Multicultural Greek Council for 2020-2021 academic year. “Our mission statement is to cultivate interfraternal relationships, promote multiculturalism by advocating for justice and equity, and empowering its members through professional, cultural, and educational development at The University of Miami. The Multicultural Greek Council also serves as a community within Greek Life for students that identify with their respective cultural roots and provides them a home away from home.” Though the council was unable to recruit new members for the Spring 2020 semester, the resiliency of the Multicultural Greek Council throughout the COVID-19 pandemic is strong and reflects the true meaning of being brothers and sisters through Greek life with one common purpose: to foster a stronger community for multicultural students and possible new members.

AGLO awards honor service, prestige, and leadership across all greek chapters on campus Story by Annette Rizo and Design by Isabella Vaccaro

The Association of Greek Life Organization allowed all for Greek organizations within the University to showcase their members and honor their achievements throughout the academic year. “Nominations are accepted for the individual awards,” said Cristian Luna, Dean of the Association of Greek Life Organization. “Chapter awards are selected by review of the Greek Community Standards packets each chapter submits for the calendar year.” “I am honored to have been recognized for my impact on the UM and greater Miami community. Greek life allowed me many opportunities to assist and bring awareness to issues that impact the Latin community,” said senior Samantha Medina, a sister of Lambda Theta Alpha and recipient of the Dean’s Award for Service 2019-2020. The AGLO awards bring out the best in 26 Greek organizations, and will continue to do so for years to come.

BACK together Bringing energy and spirit to each and every home game, FBOTH is a one of a kind band filled with passionate students. With a brass and woodwind section, drumline, danceline, and color guard, this band of the hour gives performances like no other Story and Design by Karina Sloan

From bringing the house down during football games to hyping up the crowd during basketball games, Frost Band of the Hour provides live cutting edge performances to so many sporting events. These hard working students dedicate hours of their time to make their performances so unforgettable. Director, Jay C. Rees, challenges the band to perform custom musical arrangements and pushes each and every member to strive to be better. In the process, they make lifelong friends and create memories with their fellow band members while also exploring their musical talents. Kristina Betancourt, a junior majoring in music education, spoke about her favorite part of game days. "I love getting to perform on the field during pregame and halftime. It is so awesome to see all the hard work we put in at rehearsals come together! Another special part of game days for the FBOTH is when we perform at the lake on campus after every home game."

soar to new

HEIGHTS The University of Miami Sunsations dance team has had a fantastic year performing in events including the Super Bowl 54 in Miami! The dance team was featured in early broadcasting media events, attended the official NFL Tailgate event with Pitbull and Dan & Shay, and danced in the Super Bowl Halftime Show with Shakira. However, the exciting news continues, they also performed at the UDA College Nationals in Orlando for the first time as the official NCAA courtside dance team for UM. The girls put in countless hours to perfect their performances in the Jazz and Hip-Hop categories. "It was the first of hopefully many years of tradition for the Sunnies!" remarks Stephanie Mas, the Sunsations head coach and spirit coordinator. "They made

incredible memories and worked so hard to achieve this goal that has been years in the making." While the Sunsations have made remarkable strides in the University, they are also college students who work hard in their academics to prioritize dancing and their teammates. Sunsation dancer Lea Cohen says her favorite part of the team is her fellow dancers. "Every girl on the team works so hard and makes me beyond proud. The art of dancing is best when shared with people you love and the Sunnies allows me to enjoy dancing with some of the best people I know."

a race until the

FINISH

With 3,290 total votes cast, this student government election was one for the books. This election season introduced its many milestones with its first split ticket in nine years, the first black female president since 2015, and the first all-female executive branch Story by Karina Sloan and Design by Elizabeth Pozzuoli

Student government on campus aims to work directly with faculty and administrators to enhance the experience for undergraduate students. This year, there were two main tickets, All In and Level Up. The All In ticket included incoming President Abigail Adeleke, candidate for VP Jason Perez, and incoming treasurer Amanda Rodriguez. The Level Up ticket included presidential candidate Randy Fitzgerald, incoming VP Shirley Gelman, and treasurer candidate Louis Shaw. The two independent candidates were Andrés Escandón, for president, and Asher Walker for vice president. After nearly three weeks of

campaigning, the All In ticket had two of their candidates win big, with Abigail Adeleke securing president and Amanda Rodriguez securing treasurer. But, there was a run-off for vice president, resulting in a split ticket with Shirley Gelman from Level Up winning the vice president position. While there was heartbreak and excitement on both sides, everyone that won and those that didn’t, are all ready to go to work and continue to improve the lives of undergraduate ‘Canes on campus. "I learned the most about all the great things student government could be doing" shared Randy Fitzgerald. With

the very first all-female ticket, everyone in student government is hoping to bring along real change. At the top of Abigail’s list of initiatives, she wants to increase diversity on campus, “This is special; we have never seen the top executive officers all be female. Representation is important, and our ticket brings diversity along with the inspiration that women can lead and create change in a unique way.” As current executive branch members Emily Gossett (president), Jason Kaplan, and Millie Choksi make their way out of office, they are introducing a new branch of women hoping to make long lasting change at Miami.

INDEPENDENCE Andres Escandon ran as an individual candidate for Student Government president. He based his campaign off of three main iniatives: freedom of speech, government austerity, and student involvement in student government. Escandon visisted multiple classrooms during the campaign season and spoke to students about his ticket. Photo courtesy of Andres Escandon

Story by Michael MacHarg II and Design by Karina Sloan

The UM Campus Republicans meet throughout the semester to engage students on their political beliefs and make them feel welcome among like minded students. In the weekly club meetings members would discuss the current events of the world and their opinions on how they were being handled by our elected officials. These conversations frequently involved discussion of bias in the media and the challenges for students to learn the truth. The UMCR hosted many events ranging from weekly Chick-Fil-A sales in the breezeway, tailgates, breast cancer awareness day, and even Israel appreciation day. President of the organization Michaela Stoner was even welcomed to the White House to intern in the office of Vice President Mike Pence.

ORGANIZATIONS LUNAR NEW YEAR

The Asian American Students Association and the Chinese Students and Scholars Association co-hosted their 9th annual Lunar New Year event to celebrate the Year of the Rat. The event was filled with performances, free food, and tent activities to celebrate Chinese New Year. Various clubs also partnered with AASA as a part of the celebration including the Filipino Student Association, the Hong Kong Student Association, and the Society of Asian Scientists and Enginners. Tent activities included hand painting, decorating red envelopes, photo booths, calligraphy, and more. Lunar New Year is one of the most popular events to happen on campus, and students off all ages flock to The Rock to learn more about and celebrate Chinese culture. President of AASA, Jula Meguro, talked about her experience planning the event and how great it was to be a part of it, "For me to be able to work with so many amazing students to put this event together to make people feel at home while also inviting other students to join was just an amazing experience to have here at the "U."

CONCENTRATION IS KEY The Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers hosted their own tent activity with pictures and hand paint so students could decorate their body with Chinese symbols. This was just one of many tent activities hosted by a student organization. Photo by Farha Reshamwala

GETTING ALL DOLLED UP With plenty of activities to help get everyone into the spirit, one of the tents featured the option of getting your hair styled with Chinese hair accessories. Photo by Nhat Nguyen

CHEER. REPEAT. The co-ed cheerleading teams bring show-stopping performances on game days through their spirit, hard work, and support from their fellow dancers Story by Amrutha Chethikattil and Design by Karina Sloan

UCheer carries on the 95-year cheerleading tradition, an integral part of the UM campus. It is composed of two different teams: a co-ed team and an all-girls team. Both teams relentlessly support their fellow 'Canes on the sidelines, rain or shine, and create a magical energy at every one of their performances. Their cheer boosts spirit among athletes and instills pride in the heart of every 'Cane cheering alongside them in the bleachers. This homecoming game, both teams cheered alongside each other and celebrated the seniors' last football game, and their own 9 graduating cheerleaders from the Class of 20'. These student athletes give us their best performance on game days through hours of practice. However, it is the bond they share as a team that keeps them motivated through it all. "My teammates provide countless support on and off the field, whether in practices with encouragement or advice on how to improve with stunting and tumbling or help planning classes or just about life. I love how helpful and supportive my team is, making it one of my favorite parts of being on this team." says Mahogany Black sharing the incredible kinship she has forged with her fellow cheerleaders and how they have helped her grow as a student and athlete.

Offering leadership events, networking opportunities and practical knowledge, PRSSA is shaping students of the generation into hard-working leaders Story and Design by Karina Sloan

There's nothing better then gaining real world experience in your field of study. The Public Relations Student Society of America offers students relevant insight about the public relations field through numerous events and activities. The University of Miami's PRSSA Chapter has fulfilled that mission. From visiting the American Airlines Arena to meeting with Donna Shalala, public relations students at UM are in no drought of gaining valuable knowledge and experience about their futures in PR. PRSSA at Miami has made efforts to expand their organization to all students interested in the communications and public relations field. Professor Heidi Carr, the advisor for PRSSA and a lecturer in the Strategic Communications Department, incorporates her connections and PRSSA initiatives into her classroom. Many of her students get out of the classroom experience through multiple trips around Miami and guest speakers. Without PRSSA, students in the School of Comm would not have had the beneficial opportunities and connections offered to them throughout the year.

BIG SMILES The Women in PR class took a trip to Downtown Miami for a tour of the Perez Art Museum Miami. They spoke with the rep that handle's PAAM"s PR and learned what it was like to be a woman in this business profession. Photo by Heidi Carr

Story and Design by Karina Sloan

Sportsfest is the ultimate tradition that is celebrated every year by each residential college and commuter students. From seniors to freshman, students participate in a series of recreational activities and other activities such as video games, jenga, tug of war, and more. It originated as a competition between Hecht and Stanford, coming at no surprise that they both hold the number one spot for first place wins. With Stanford winning its 14th first place trophy this year, it now ties with Hecht. Many thought this would be Stanford's last year before it was torn down and rebuilt, but because of the coronavirus, Stanford may have another shot to win the title again in the coming year. Junior Residential Assistant, Reese Pitts, reflected on Stanford's win, "It wouldn't have been possible without the awesome team of RAs that I'm lucky enough to be a part of. We worked really hard for this and I'm proud to live and work with all of them."

Wycoff, NJ

Being the face of Miami comes a lot of responsibility, but it is an experience like no other that has created memories all three of these 'Canes will cherish for a lifetime Story by Karina Sloan and Design by Gabby Rosenbloom

Packed stadiums, screaming fans, and overheated suits is all that awaits the special ‘Canes chosen to represent Miami as Sebastian the Ibis. Leading over 65,000 fans during football games is only the tip of the iceberg for all the events and activities Sebastian has to attend. From local Miami events, ACC conferences, and even weddings, Sebastian travels nationwide to spread some ‘Canes spirit. Sebastian has to learn how to dance, interact, and do the C-A-N-E-S spell out all while inside the hot and heavy suit. But, all that hard work pays off once their life as a ‘Cane comes to an end. At the end of their journey as Sebastian, seniors finally get to announce their hidden identity at graduation. As they walk across stage, they get to accept their diploma while wearing the infamous yellow Sebastian feet so all individuals can recognize their true identities without the suit. But this year, COVID-19 cut their long-anticipated graduation announcement short as the semester ended prematurely after extended spring break. But these three senior ‘Canes weren’t going to let that stop them from sharing some of their favorite experiences from being Sebastian. With exciting moments and even some horror stories, William LaRossa, Ismael Ortiz, and Peter Caride share some of their favorite memories as Sebastian the Ibis.

about being Sebastian is getting to meet Miami legends such as Ed Reed, Michael Irving, Jimmy Johnson, Ray Lewis, Reggie Wayne, and more both in and out of the Sebastian suit. I also have gotten to interact and meet some of the current players and coaches as well, and got to hold all turnover chains! But, my absolute favorite part

group of people that did it with me. We have deemed ourselves “The Flock”, and we like to think it is the most secretive and selective group on campus. I can’t thank The Flock enough for being supportive of me and each other all the time, and just being some of the most interesting people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.

ISMAEL ORTIZ Q: What was your audition like? a dance routine in 30 minutes A: My audition process was

a little different from most. I had a biology lab the day of the audition so I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to try out. I was convinced by a previous Sebastian and impulsively decided to apply. I emailed Alejandro and he let me audition after my lab ended at 9:30pm. I had to put together

for the audition and didn’t get to practice much.I didn’t have a chance to see who else was trying out or how many people were trying out therefore I had no clue what my odds were. However I was lucky enough to get a call the next day saying that I was being selected to be Sebastian.

WILL LaROSSA Q: What is your biggest Seb horror story? there is a kid in there that A: I don’t know if I would

call anything a horror story, but during an event for the ACC Championship game in Charlotte I had to have a personal security escort because I was getting mobbed by fans so much. Fans just grab at you all the time, I don’t think they understand that

is trying their best to take pictures with everyone. The worst part is they get mad at you and curse at you if you don’t listen to them, when most of the time we can’t take a picture because we have to run to another appearance.

I have been shaped into someone who strives to make the world a better place for those around me.

Through UM, I have built experiences that will inform decisions and relationships for decades to come."

"The U has ultimately shaped me into someone that is in the constant pursuit of excellence. Whether it be a personal goal in regards to fitness or by supporting the local community, the University of Miami's ability to show the importance of being open to new experiences has undoubtedly built me into a version of myself that is constantly looking for something new and ways to improve myself while cherishing the good that's already present."

I forced myself to join clubs, do well academically, and socialize with people. It was hard, but I knew I needed to do it for myself and to make my family proud. I’ve always been tough, but I proved a lot to myself by thriving in college. Being at UM has taught me that you can come from nothing and build yourself into something extraordinary."

The person I am today compared to when I arrived at UM was absolutely molded by my experience."

SHRUTI KARNANI Irvine, California Major: Neuroscience Minors: Chemistry, Health Sector Management and Policy

All of my involvements have each had a hand in pushing me further and further out of my comfort zone, allowing me to develop and expand a skill set. The U has shown me the significance and value of a family that isn’t related by blood, but rather bound by an orange and green logo sitting on the left chest."

the hard WORK

NEVER stops

While faculty and professors are best known for the work they put into meetings and courses, there is so much more they put into activities outside of class. All that goes on outside the classroom, from student life events and various extracurriculars, wouldn't be possible without the leadership of faculty and professors that put it all into motion Design by Karina Sloan

CLOSING

While life at Miami must come to an end, the memories that are created will always be remembered. Seniors get to look back and reminisce about what it was like being a college student. But, the lessons and friendships they made will live on forever in their hearts

Joanna Jara Cesar, Lili, Katherine and Andrea Jara: Joanna Jara, 23, passed away at sunrise November 26, 2019 in Orlando, Florida, after a five-year battle with Osteosarcoma. Joanna was born in Miami, Florida, October 23, 1996 and attended elementary school at Montessori in Hammond, Indiana, middle school at Holy Name of Jesus, Indialantic, Florida, and high school at Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy, Melbourne, Florida. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma towards the end of her junior year March 2014, and regardless of the need of a major leg surgey at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Florida, as well as 9 months of inpatient chemotherapy at Arnold Palmer Hospital, Orlando, Florida, she was able to complete her senior year and was accepted with a scholarship to the University of Miami where she graduated with a Bachelor degree of Science in Communication. Sadly the osteosarcoma returned unexpectedly in March 2019 with a rage and severe pain, shuttering her plans and dreams in spite of her courage and best treatments available. She faced every trial bravely and at age twenty-three she had accomplished so much and overcome so many difficulties with grace and strength. She appreciated the Cane family, specially WVUM, which she enjoyed and cherished; you can still hear Joanna’s infinite playlist in her name. Joanna, we love you and miss you so much…” Paul Schulz: Joanna trained me at the beloved WVUM station where she was a vital part of the community and gave parts of her weekend to make sure people were properly versed on the ins and outs of this music mecca on campus. Her soul will always live on sonically. Jacob Perez: Joanna was & continues to be a light for me & the WVUM family she lovingly created. She truly helped make my experience as a 'Cane one of belonging & personal growth, & I'll always treasure our moments together. There is no doubt that her legacy brilliantly lives on in the UM community through all who knew her. Emmanuel Gorrin: In times of darkness and grief, my memories of Joanna are a warm and comforting light. I could never express with words alone how special our friendship was and will forever be. The impact she left upon her friends, colleagues, and the University of Miami community is wide and deep. I am so grateful to have known her, and I will cherish my memories of her forever.
