YOUR PATH

From a very young age, we are taught that a line is the distance between point A and B. Life, however, is different. Our lives our not linear. Instead, they are intricate journeys that defy the constraints of linearity. Rather than following a linear path, we encounter unpredictable twists and turns. Bad grades, a break up, or a loss to a rival school are all bumps we encounter along our journeys. Our lives are full of unpredictability, teaching us to appreciate every twist, regardless of the fact that it is not what we hoped.

ONWARD

College is much like a journey through dangerous landscapes. There is no correct path. Instead, it challenges us with its bends and curves. While we might start the journey with a clear destination in mind, we may take detours along the way. That is the beauty of our path. They aren’t linear or perfect, and from all of the bends and curves, we learn more about ourselves, who we are, and who we want to become. Changing a major, watching a football loss to FSU, joining a new org, and even meeting friends help us along our path.

bon voyage TO STUDENTS

The summer was an enriching opportunity for students to get involved in the workforce and unique worldwide cultures

For three months, our ‘Canes had the opportunity to travel, explore unfamiliar places, and gather real-world experience in a variety of areas. Angelisa Fernandez, sophomore, spent a month shadowing a dental hygienist and gaining experience in a dentist’s office. “It was really interesting to see the actual health care aspect of a dental office, but also the behind-the-scenes organization and relationships between the dentists’ and their patients,” stated Fernandez of her time. As a pre-dental student, she agreed that this exposure was very educational and assured her that this was the type of future career she wanted to pursue.

Not only did our ‘Canes gain academic knowledge, but they also gained cultural enrichment. Many students decided to venture out and study abroad over the summer or travel with their families. Camila Escobar, sophomore, traveled around Germany for two weeks with her family. When asked about her time there, she stated, “I absolutely loved it. My favorite part had to have been the scenery; there was so much greenery everywhere, in the city and countryside. I also loved learning about the history of many cities and their landmarks, especially since a lot of the cities maintained their old structures, so it felt like I was walking through history.” Being able to immerse herself in the German lifestyle and culture, Escobar left with a deeper understanding and appreciation for the country and its people, and she hopes to go back soon.

a london summer

There are many study abroad opportunities for students to get involved in each semester. One of these is the “Global Communication in London” study abroad program. During this program, Professor of Journalism Joseph Treaster takes around 15 students to London for three weeks.

London summer participants are able to get six JMM academic credits for their time abroad, both of which can count as electives.

During the three week program, students will tour places such as the BBC, New York Times, Reuters and many other similar news outlets.

Professor Treaster ensures that students also have fun during the program. Students are taken to the Warner Brothers filming studio to tour the Harry Potter studios and speak with the head of Public Relations. Students also get to travel outside of London and visit places such as Oxford, Stonehenge and Brighton.

WATERS

Trips to local South Florida beaches are the perfect study break and tourist hot spot for students in the greater Miami area

It’s no secret that one of the main attractions for students coming to the ‘U’ is the wide array of beaches surrounding the campus. South Florida is unmistakably known for it’s beautiful white sandy beaches with crystal clear waters. Thus, spending weekends and afternoons at the beach is by far a favorite past time for UM students looking to unwind from studying.

Daniel Fernandez, a sophomore majoring in political science said, “Miami Beach definitely has the nicest beaches but Crandon is the most convenient for traffic and parking costs. I personally love Miami Beach because there are plenty of restaurants and activities near there beach so there is always something to do.”

With so many beaches to choose from, students can explore Miami to find their favorite relaxation, study or hang out spot.

We got some ‘Canes over here! This year, students and families flooded campus for the Family ‘Cane Kickoff starting on August 15th. First-year students got their first look into what campus-life is about. Students were welcomed through registration and events were held all over campus to help students meet each other. After a quiet summer, the UM campus was once again full of life.

For returning students, being back on campus was a dream come true. Ellen Otterbach, a junior at UM studying marine science, moved back in as soon as the University Village was open. “I loved seeing my family back home in Georgia,” Otterbach said. “But nothing beats being back on campus. I am so excited to be with my friends again and enjoy my last two years before graduation.”A lot of students were grateful just to be on campus at all. With the Hecht towers being torn down last May, housing on campus was limited. Dani Tenberg, a senior graduating in December, was not guaranteed housing. “I did not get a housing placement until the end of July,” Tenberg said. “I spent a lot of my summer wondering where I was going to live and if I could even return to campus.”

Many students, the majority being first-year students, are still residing in the Thesis Hotel and are awaiting housing placements on campus. While move-in day was not what some were expecting, those who were able to move-in on campus are grateful and excited to be back.

During the last week in August, the University of Miami welcomed over 2,820 students to campus. Although housing was limited this semester, students have options between Pearson/Mahoney Residential college, Eaton, Stanford, Lakeside and University Village. All of the residential colleges offer different amenities that range in size, location from campus, and room mate configuration. During the housing application process, student’s got to decide what the right fit for them was.

PARENTS HELP MOVE For a large percentage of students, parents come to campus to help them move in to their dorms. Parents are seen across the Coral Gables campus dressed in green and orange, from head to toe. Special events held during 'Cane Kickoff allow parents of students to actively participate in the move-in process. They help their children check in to various events at the Lakeside Pavilion before saying goodbye.

Starting the first year of college can be daunting for about anyone. For man yof us, it is our first time living away from home. Suddenly, there are new people to meet and opportunities to be taken. It can soon become overwhelming without proper guidance to start at a university.’Canes Take Flight,an orientation hosted by the University of Miami,was created for their incoming first-year students for this very reason. Orientation is meant to guide students and ease them into a successful first year. Victoria Gomez, a senior and program coordinator for ‘Canes Take Flight, shared her perspective. “A good orientation program can help students feel supported and guided right when they get to campus,” Gomez said. According to Gomez, this year’s fall orientation was especially important since

“It was the first orientation that was fully in person in almost three years due to the pandemic.” Gomez thought back to when she was a first-year student and shared that it was “really special to be a part of a program as big and exciting as my orientation back in 2019”. Encouraged by her own first-year orientation experience, Gomez applied to be an Orientation Fellow and worked her way up to be one of the top program coordinators for both fall and spring orientations. Freshman orientation at UM inspired Gomez to become a more involved student on campus and can hopefully do the same for more incoming students in the future.

OF CAMPUS

As a popular hot spot for events and vendors, Lakeside Patio is an unforgettable location for campus life

Lakeside Patio is an outdoor space adjacent to Lake Osceola including the Lakeside Stage and surrounding patio area. The central location of this space makes it the perfect venue for a variety of events to engage the UM community and student body.

Some examples of events held here include vendor fairs, Patio Jams, evening concerts, speeches and tabling from student organizations. The space also features a host of tables with umbrellas providing the perfect place for students to socialize, study, and relax in the sunshine.

Junior Brittani Mays states, “My favorite event at Lakeside Patio this year has been the vendor markets. I think having the different vendors really showcases the university’s diversity.” These markets give students an opportunity to shop without having to leave the campus. Each day, there is something different taking place at Lakeside Patio whether it is a market, event, or showcase. This variety makes the space exciting and draws students attention throughout the day.

THE SEASON

The start of tailgating also marks a wave of surging camaraderie amongst the student population on campus and community

As students returned to campus, their minds raced back into game mode. Fall weekends spent decked out in game day gear while shouting and screaming in the beating sun with fellow students, are a staple part of their experience at The U. Some students shared their favorite aspects of tailgate season.

With busy and varying schedules during the week, students are able to come together with friends to celebrate at tailgates. Junior Simone Lantier always looked forward to game days after a long week. “My favorite part of tailgating season is the fact that I’m able to be hyper and cheer on The U alongside all my friends at once,” she said. All students, regardless of different interests, join together at tailgates to share their love for The U.

Many students looked forward to getting glammed out in game day outfits. Junior Juliette Leyton loved seeing an ocean of green and orange at each tailgate. “It’s always so fun to see everyone’s amazing outfits for tailgates. Everywhere you look, you see a mass of orange and green,” she said. Game day gear is an essential for tailgating, as well as bringing items to protect students from the heat and long hours. “I always make sure I bring water and sunglasses with me to combat the heat.”

As students work hard in their classes, the tailgating season brings a sense of unity and school spirit to the student body.

The following are the most frequently ordered food from various locations on campus.

1. STARBUCKS REFRESHERS

Because of extreme Miami heat, students like to cool off with Starbucks Refreshers. There are more than 10 for students to cool off with.

2. VICKY CAFE TOSTADA

health is wealth

AT THE ‘U’

Mental health is an important topic of conversation around the world today. Students are prioritizing their mental health in more ways than one

It is no secret that college students have a lot on their plates. Leaving home and moving to a new city, or even country, can be a lonely and isolating experience. Juggling coursework with jobs, grad school applications and the day-to-day struggles of adulting can be tough.

Engineering student Franco Rocco shares some tips on finding that perfect work-life balance. “Look for fun activities or join a club on campus that will help de-stress you. It’s not all about grinding every second of the day. Find a class each semester that you like going to that makes you forget about the others for just that hour. It is also important to plan your workload out. Never leave things to the last minute. Creating a schedule will also reduce stress big time.”

Some students like to decompress by visiting the stunning on-campus arboretum. Others download the UM wellness app and partake in free yoga, Zumba, and exercise classes at the gym. Many visit the free on campus counseling center for a bi-monthly chat with a therapist. Exploring the local area and finding “your” spots around Miami can also make this city feel like home. Consider visiting Insomnia cookies near campus or strolling through Sunset Place. Making a conscious effort to disconnect from screens and taking a 30-minute break from the Internet each day can also do wonders for mental health. Studies have found links between social media and increased anxiety.

ALL OUT

Live music performed by students takes place on the patio and allows for a musical escape

Patio Jams is an outdoor concert occurring every Thursday afternoon at Lakeside Patio. The concert is managed by Hurricane Productions and features a student performer or group of performers each week. This gives the students exposure for their music amongst their peers and the UM community. Students, faculty, and visitors enjoy sitting outside to enjoy the live music in the South Florida sunshine.

Aron Stornaiuolo, the vocalist and guitarist from Sunny Side Up, a student led band that performs at Patio Jams stated, “We’ve loved getting to play at Patio Jams. Sharing our music with UM is a big privilege and we’re super grateful to HP.” Patio Jams is a time for students to relax outdoors with friends while supporting their performing peers. Each week, a new group of student performs is afforded the stage to showcase their music. This brings great variety to Patio Jams and keeps the music interesting.

ROCK at the

As a main point in the center of campus, The Rock is central hub for org events, speeches and more

The Rock, one of the campus’ prominent locations, held events for students and staff to get to know each other and various organizations and become more involved in the community. As a main passing point in the center of campus, lots of students had the opportunity to pass by and stop at an event.

Greek organizations on campus were some of the most common events held here. Students who were not part of Greek life had opportunities to interact with members of the organizations and donate to their partner charities.

Junior Jamie Moses enjoyed Lambda Chi Alpha’s dunk tank event for their philanthropy week. “They were raising money for Feeding America South Florida and they

incorporated such fun events,” Moses said. “The dunk tank was hilarious and successful, everyone was having fun.” Events were also hosted by non-greek life organizations, such as the American Red Cross UM chapter. The organization hosted a blood drive for students and offered twenty-dollar electronic gift cards for donors. Senior Destini Stewart shared her appreciation for the campus blood drive. “I couldn’t donate blood but stopped to read the information on the posters. There was information on the importance of donating blood and the American Red Cross’ impact and it’s important to read,” Stewart said. Many events are held at the Rock throughout the school year by a variety of orgs. Its location is ideal for allowing a students to take part.

Although you will catch most UMiami students on a laptop taking notes, this year we noticed a comeback...Yes, hand written NOTES! We couldn’t believe it either.

Despite the weather, the reality is for UMiami students these are an essential. They block out the sun, haters, and that email your professor sent you a week ago.

OUR PARENTS

Parents of UM students from all around the world come together to experience life on campus for one weekend

Parents weekend is a time for students to reconnect with their families and show off the UM campus. This year, the event took place the second weekend of October just before fall break.

The weekend was packed with activities including a pep rally and home football game. Students attended these events with their families, building memories that will last forever. The campus was full of families sitting outside, walking around, and touring inside the buildings.

Freshmen Demi Koudonis majoring in psychology stated, “I really enjoyed having the time to see my family and twin sister when they came down for parents weekend. We celebrated by going to our favorite restaurant in Miami called Kyu in Wynwood. Being able to spend time with then made the distance feel small again.” Parents weekend is an important time for students to reconnect with their loved ones and show their pride for being a ‘Cane.

Q: What are your majors/minors?

A: My major is Honors Motion Picture Production and my minors are BA Theatre and Visual Arts.

Q: Why do you love theater?

Actors are servants to the story and but also a greater mission to create a better, more informed, and inspired world for others. Personally, Theatre and cinema in my world is a

combination of an obsession, a religion, a therapy, a way to socially engage, and a source to quench my insatiable curiosity.

Q: What is your role in the theater productions that take place on campus?

A: I am an actress in the on-campus productions.

Q: What do you hope to pursue as your future career?

A: The path is to continue acting in theatre and film professionally. I often find myself going between both.

TRICKS and mostly treats

Those looking for spooky adventures and tricks head to Orlando for Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights

Students looked forward to Halloween and a period of dressing up in costumes and attending festivities. Many decided to take advantage of the greater south and central Florida areas.

Junior Carolina Camus was one of many students who traveled to Universal Studios in Orlando for the annual Halloween Horror Nights Event.

“I celebrated Halloween by going to Horror Nights with friends and family, which was memorable because we got to spend the holiday together and be scared in all the houses,” Camus said.

Those who love Halloween were excited to experience the themed haunted houses and scare zones and watch live performances. Camus particularly enjoyed navigating the scare zones and houses.

“My favorite house was The Weeknd house because I enjoy his music. The way they were able to create a house based on a musical artist was unique,” she said.

GAME ON

Homecoming week begins with an opening ceremony for students that takes place at the Lakeside Patio. Here, the band plays and students can play games set up by vendors

The Homecoming Opening Ceremony marks that start of homecoming week each year at the university. The event included inflatables, t-shirts and snacks provided by vendors. Students checked-in with members of the Homecoming Executive Committee and were given two tickets that could be redeemed for free food and other items and stations set up across the Lakeside Patio.

The event gave students an opportunity to take a break from academics and enjoy time with friends outdoors. Freshmen Veronica Rischmond majoring in biology said, “I enjoyed spending time outside and taking a break from studying. It was nice to hang out with my friends and see what homecoming at the ‘U’ is all about.”

This event led into the Spirit Tree Competition in which student organizations each designed an ornament to decorate the only orange blossom tree on campus. The decorated tree reflected the diversity of campus and the organizations that students are a part of.

MOST IMPORTANT TREE The Spirit Tree, located near Dooly Memorial Building, is decorated with ornaments that represent the theme of Game On. Participating orgs can make their unique ornament.

our traditions matter

The UM Spirit Tree has been an important part of campus culture for years. The tree, a Valencia orange tree, was planted in 1991 under the leadership of William R. Butler. The then-president planted the tree because the university colors were inspired by the colors of the Valencia orange tree. In 2005, a storm hit the Miami area, thus destroying the symbolic tree. A new tree was planted in its place, which is the current tree that stands between the Bowman Foster Ashe building and the Dooley Memorial building. Because of

CROWN its my

Hoping to be more inclusive, the Homecoming Committee opts to remove the titles of King and Queen

The Homecoming Royalty Pageant brought together students and faculty to cheer on the royalty delegates hoping to earn a crown. For the first time ever, the Homecoming Executive Committee decided to change the layout of the royalty pageant with the hope of making it more inclusive. In the past, one Homecoming King and one Homecoming Queen were crowned at the end of the pageant.

This year, the committee elected to instead crown four Homecoming Royalty. These students could identify as any gender, making the process more inclusive to all students.

The competing students were judged on a mix of school spirit, poise, and creativity throughout a series of competitive activities. Each student represented a student organization of their choice, making the crowd very encouraging.

Karrington Lawson, a freshmen majoring in political science and history stated, “It was nice to see so many people together having a good time.” The cheers were loud and school spirit was running high as students waiting with great anticipation to see who would be crowned Homecoming Royalty.

The Homecoming Concert is one of the most exciting traditions UM puts on. The university brings in a famous musician to entertain students.

Before a big celebrity can take the stage at the Watsco Center, a student opener show is performed. Carlo RedI was opener this year.

Carlo RedI is a musical artist who is currently making a name for themself. With acknowledgments such as “#1 global Billboard Hot Trending Songs, Songwriter and Artist/Guitarist,” Carlo RedI is making leaps toward being more known.

Tickets are free for students, bringing together a large portion of the student body for an evening of fun at the Watsco Center. The concert featured Flo Rida, a popular artist from Miami.

Freshmen Ariella Duvel majoring in marine affairs stated, “The homecoming concert was something I will never forget. The performance was unbelievable and I’m glad I got to share the experience with my friends.” The Homecoming Concert was definitely one students will remember for years to come. Flo Rida got the crowd excited and showed his Miami pride throughout the performance.

RIVALRYdecade long

Tensions rise as the Homecoming football game is played at Hard Rock Stadium against long-time rivals the Florida State Seminoles, who would win 45-3

Hurricane Howl is the culminating event of Homecoming Week. Featuring food trucks, games, fireworks and the boat burning ceremony, Hurricane Howl brings together students, staff, and alumni for an evening of fun. The Frost Band of the Hour, UCheer, and Hurricanettes performed at Lakeside Patio to kick off the festivities.

The boat burning ceremony featured record high attendance and a hopeful prediction, indicating that the Hurricanes football team would win the game the following day against Florida State University. Immediately following, the homecoming fireworks display began. Freshmen Nathalie Aguirre majoring in business management and legal studies stated, “The fireworks display was so much more than I thought it would be. The lights and colors were beautiful and there were so many people all around.” The crowd was electric as the Shalala Student Center lit up against the night sky. The boat burning ceremony proved incorrect, as the Hurricanes lost the football game in a 45-3 upset. Unable to score a single touchdown against the Seminoles, fans and players left Hard Rock defeated, but with hope for what is to come next season after an off-season re-building.

our unique history

Notably one of the most odd and unique UM traditions is the boat burning ceremony that takes place during Homecoming. On the night of Hurricane Howl, a boat is sailed into the center of Lake Osceola. The boat is then set on fire, and the sinking boat predicts the outcome of the Homecoming football game.

UM legend states that if the mast of the boat falls before the boat sinks, the ‘Canes will win the Homecoming football game.

Boat burning began in 1956 as a way for Theta Chi, a new fraternity on campus, to promote themselves. The first ceremony took place on the 30th Homecoming, and was used as a unique event to excite ‘Canes.

In the 1960’s, after years of boats settling at the bottom of the lake, people grew concerned for the environmental harm the sunken boats would cause. Since then, efforts have been made to keep the environment safe. The earlier boats were excavated, and boats are now made with environmentally-friendly material, in order to keep the environment safe.

TIME OFF much needed

Students choose to spend fall break in various ways such as traveling, studying and relaxing

Thanksgiving break for many students served as the last bit of relaxation or adventure before finals week approached. After the first semester of full in-person instruction and organization meetings since the pandemic, students were ready to take time away from school for the holiday.

Junior Kyra Earley was especially excited to go home and reunite with family for the first time in years. “I haven’t been able to see any of my extended family in over two years sine COVID, so traveling back to New York to spend time with them was really special,” Earley said.

Other students used the break to look after themselves and prioritize activities that they have less time for during school.

“Over the break I kept myself occupied by working out, hanging out with friends, and spending time with my grandpa,”

Sophomore Nicole Maddox said. “I made sure to care for my mental health at home before coming back to study for exams.”

While many students flew home, others traveled. Sophomore Georgia Elder took a trip to New York City with a friend. “We spent a few days sightseeing and eating street food.” Elder said. Thanksgiving break looked different for each student, as they chose to focus on themselves.

a cold adventure

Kronman, sophomore, spent winter break on an expedition in the fridgid Antartica.

“On my expedition to Antarctica aboard the National Geographic Explorer with Linblad Expeditions, I saw firsthand both the beauty of nature and the fragility of the Antarctic landscape.”

David was on this expedition to further kis knowledge on the effects of climate change.

“Despite the clear effects of climate change visible in the melting sea ice, calving glaciers, and changing populations, still got to see hundreds of whales, kayak among icebergs, and photograph tens of thousands of penguins.”

OUT AND ABOUT

The fall semester ends and the much needed time off is used to travel, see family and explore the world

Students looked forward to the holiday break to spend time with loved ones and de-stress after the fall semester. Winter break looked different for everyone but each spent their time off enjoying themselves and keeping busy in their own way.

Some spent time at home while others traveled on vacation. Jenna Zabroski, a junior, was enthusiastic to go on a cruise and get some much needed relaxation after finals. “During winter break I went on a cruise to the Western Caribbean with my family,” Zabroski said. “It was very relaxing and a much needed break to spend time with my family.”

Many students looked forward to seeing friends outside of the school community. Reuniting with friends over break was an exciting experience for senior Domenic Garofalo. “My favorite part of the break was getting to see my childhood friends who I miss when I’m at school,” Garofalo said. “I even invited some friends from school to celebrate New Year’s and it was special seeing my home and college friends getting along.”

While many relaxed, other students used the break to take classes or do internships. Senior Maddy Konheim completed an accounting internship over the break. “I wanted to get more experience before I graduate in the spring and start a job,” Konheim said.

However they chose to spend it, students seized the winter break period and reset themselves in preparation for the spring semester.

ITS OUR favorite day of the week

Students flock to the farmers market to purchase lunch and snacks from many local vendors and small businesses

Market Wednesdays are a staple on the UM campus. Every Wednesday, a fleet of vendors set up their stands near the Richter Library. Students flock to the market to purchase lunch and snacks from these local vendors and small businesses. The market is a great way for these vendors to gain exposure within the community, and it gives students an opportunity to explore new cuisines while also supporting local businesses.

Freshmen Karrington Lawson stated, “What I like most about the market is the variety of options to choose from. My go to market meal is the Sweet Blendz acai Amazon bowl for lunch.” There’s never a time that the market isn’t busy, as many students look forward to the Wednesday tradition. The market provides a robust atmosphere and something special to look forward to in the middle of the week. It’s definitely a favorite tradition among the ‘Canes.

week of culture

Mid-March is the point in the semester where the Federacion de Estudiantes Cubanos organization put together host the Week of Cuban Culture.

During this week, events such as classes on making Cuban coffee, and a fundraiser to raise money for Give2Cuba.

FEC Community Liasion Daniel Fernandez speaks about their donation efforts.

“The donations went to an organization dedicated to giving food, clothes and shelter to Cubans living on the island who struggle every day to find their next meal.”

FEC was able to raise over $600 during their Wednesday auction for Give2Cuba.

The week was closed out at the baseball game against NC State. Here, members partook in mini games during commercial breaks to engage with the crowd.

PROUD hispanic and

Because campus is located in Miami, UM is home to students of different kinds Hispanic ethnicities

Hispanic culture is naturally a large part of the University of Miami as it is present both on campus and in the surrounding areas. There are numerous student organizations dedicated to providing Hispanic students with a place to express themselves and interact with students of the same culture, while also educating the UM community about Hispanic culture. The programs and events put on by these organizations allow the entire student body to experience Hispanic culture without ever leaving the campus.

Daniel Fernandez, FEC Community Liasson stated, “Hispanic representation is super important to make sure everyone feels like they have a voice on campus. Miami has a huge Hispanic population and being involved in places like la Federacion de Estudiantes Cubanos helps me celebrate parts of the beautiful Latino culture on our campus.” With so many programs, events, and organizations representing Hispanic culture at UM, there are numerous opportunities for students to get involved and learn more about the culture.

ON A diverse campus

Countries from all across the globe are represented at UM, and students are celebrated during I-Week

Around 3,900 international students and scholars hailing from 120 countries around the world come to the University of Miami to study, work, and conduct research each year.

COISO (Council of International Students and Organizations) celebrates culture and diversity at UM. “A lot of students call this home away from home,” said Anna Golikova, International student. “We untie with other students in this organization and try to support each other because we are all going through a shared experience” she explains.

International Week, one of COISO’s biggest events, celebrates a different part of the world each evening. Tuesday is “Latin American and Caribbean Night”, Wednesday is “African Night”, Thursday is “Middle Eastern and European Night”, and Friday is “Asia Night.” Each evening, tents are set up like an open-air market, featuring fun trivia activities, local delicacies and of course music. This event is an opportunity for international students to share a meaningful part of their history and culture with the rest of the student body. Singers and dancers hit the stage and perform as the evenings draw to a close.

THE BOARD

With the slogan “It’s Time to Face the Drag,” SpectrUM hosts DragOut X, the tenth anniversary of their signature fundraiser

Drag Out is an annual event hosted by SpectrUM, the largest LGBTQ+ organization at UM. The event, held in the Shalala Student Center ballrooms, offers a space for students to express themselves by partaking in Drag Culture. It also allows other students to learn about Drag Culture and elements of the LGBTQ+ community by watching these performances. Students are able to support one another and create an empowering environment that provides an opportunity for growth, creativity, and individual expression.

Jet Porter, the President of SpectrUM stated, “Drag Out allows for our students to play with elements of gender and create a space for themselves to feel empowered on stage. The show itself allows students to create a space for their characters in a way that they aren’t able to in daily life, and gives them an opportunity to be authentically who they are without judgement or fear.” This year’s production of Drag Out was a huge success thanks to the support of the LGBTQ+ Center and the greater University of Miami community.

Q: What were some of the changes SpectrUM implemented to have a successful tenth anniversary?

A: While SpectrUM is the oldest and largest LGBT+ org on campus, we wanted to honor the future of queer organizations. The community is so diverse so we shared the spotlight with one of the many new groups on campus, BLQ (Black Leaders for the Queer Community). We wanted to set a precedence of unity within our campus community.

Q: Why did the organization choose to donate a portion of the night’s proceeds to Trans Lifeline?

A: In the past year alone, we’ve seen more and more legislation that attacks trans and non-binary folxs through bans against gender-affirming care, bathroom use based on one’s gender identity, and sports participation. SpectrUM, as an organization, felt the need to do our part in standing firmly with the trans community by donating to Trans Lifeline.

CAMPUS

Organizations and departments organize and host a variety of events for students to enjoy on campus

campus events were held nearly every day, and there was something for everyone to enjoy. These events are essential in bringing students together and keeping the campus lively, from club tabling to free-treat stations to interactive activities.

Clubs and organizations were excited to hold small events and showcase the work they do with the school community.

Sophomore Maggy Ross shared her experience as a member of HP concerts and giving out tickets for concerts to students. “When we started handing out tickets for the homecoming concert on the first day the line was packed,” Ross said. “We blasted music and everyone

looked so happy. It’s always a great feeling knowing we are bringing joy to other students on campus and seeing our hard work pay off.”

Sales on campus were another popular event on campus. Ross particularly liked visiting the jewelry table by the Whitten University Center and Shalala. “The jewelry is so pretty and I always get roped into looking. There’s always a big crowd around the table; students love the jewelry sale,” she said.

Events on campus were a core part of encouraging students to interact with and meet new people and promoting involvement in campus activities. Small events not only brought students together but provided fun during busy days.

A STARE

THE STAGE up on

Masterful acting is showcased as students take the stage and act out some notable and iconic roles

This theatre season in the Jerry Herman Ring Theatre, two fantastic, student-led productions took place: “Lucky Stiff” and “The Rover.” “Lucky Stiff” is a cheerful, fun, musical murder mystery which had students in hysterics. This musical farce follows the story of Harry Witherspoon, as he travels to Monte Carlo and attempts to inherit 6 million dollars.

“The Rover”, on the other hand, revolves around women in exile, who are seeking both true love and identity. This play was originally done by Aphra Behn, the first female political playwright in the English language. UM brings this play to the stage, honoring one of the earliest feminists and also bringing classic scenes to life with a fresh, contemporary twist.

Junior Leena Pasricha talks to us about the theatre program at UM. Though her major is Chemistry, she reveals that she was inspired to add a theatre minor recently. “I’ve always loved theatre ever since we put on a production of Annie in third grade, and also I love watching musicals.” UM allows students the unique opportunity to gain hands-on theatrical experience in a pre-professional setting.

“The Rover,” adapted from the play by Aphra Behn, is performed in the Jerry Herman Ring Theatre. Pictured are Davis Parks and EV Cummins.

LAST RIDE

To wrap up the end of a busy year with a bang, students participate in the yearly tradition of HP’s famous event

‘Canes Carnival is the largest event hosted each year by Hurricane Productions on the Foote Green. The event takes place the week before finals, with the purpose of providing an opportunity for students to destress and enjoy one last event before final exams and move out. With carnival themed rides, games, food trucks, and giveaways, there is plenty of activity for students to enjoy at no additional cost and without having to leave the safety of our UM campus.

Aris Montero, a sophomore and Vice Chair of Hurricane Productions stated, “’Canes Carnival is an important event because it is a great destresser before finals, gives students a chance to meet other people, bond, laugh, create memories, and more- all in the comfort and safety of campus and all for free.” With so many activities throughout the event, there is something for every ‘Cane to enjoy.

LOVE FOR THE

BIRD

Senior Ethan Hartz proudly reveals himself to be one of the students underneath the Sebastian costume. He was Sebastian for all four years at UM. He feels such an overwhelming gratitude for this opportunity, noting “Sebastian the Ibis is an emblem of unity, kindness, and the 305 swag that can’t be found anywhere outside of this institution.

Thank you all for showing me what a caring, energetic, and united community looks like.”

ethan HARTZ

senior devin GIALLEONARDO

Q: What are your major(s) and minor(s)?

A: My major is Entrepreneurship and my minors are Art and Interactive Media.

Q: How tall are you?

A: 6’2.

Q: Why did you try out to be a Sebastian?

A: I was given a flyer on my way out of the Student Involvement Fair freshman year that read “Calling All Canes! Do you have what it takes to be Sebastian?” and I thought ‘Let’s find out!’ The following week signed up to try out and gave my best effort. The rest is history.

Q: What was the tryout process like?

A: The tryout process is somewhat of a secret, but a common misconception is that you have to be tall or have certain skills like the ability to complete a backflip in order to be Sebastian. I’ve learned over the years that there are countless soft skills that make for excellent student performers rather than what most people would expect.

Q: What is it like underneath the costume?

A: There is a certain magic behind the suit that creates the moment where your body meshes with Sebastian’s character, unlocking abilities and confidence you never knew you had. It is a humbling experience, and a tremendous honor to represent the ‘U’ through Seb because all it takes is a silly glance or a quick picture to make almost anyone smile. Beyond that, Sebastian’s eyes filter the 305 community through spirited lenses, allowing only sights of unity, energy, and kindness to pass through. Seeing the school from that perspective is a privilege that I wish everyone got to experience at least once.

Q: What did you learn/gain from this experience?

A: Much of who I am today was dictated by my experience as Sebastian. It taught me to step out of my comfort zone to try things I had never considered, because you never know what will come from those efforts. Also, Seb taught me to appreciate every moment. What might be a quick picture or interaction out of hundreds for me that day could mean the world to the person that engagement was with. Beyond that, I learned that the University of Miami is genuinely an incredible place.

senior

Q: What are your major(s) and minor(s)?

A: My majors are Finance and Business Technology, and my minor is Business Law.

Q: How tall are you?

A: 6’5.

Q: Why did you try out to be a Sebastian?

A: saw a poster that said “Do you think you have what it takes?” at the gym and joked with my friends that I did have what it takes. I eventually tried out.

Q: What was the tryout process like?

A: There was a mix of dancing and skits. We also had to pretend we were in certain in game situations. We did stuff like t-shirt toss, run out with the flag, etc. And of course, a ‘Cane spell out.

Q: What is it like underneath the costume?

A: Being in suit is unique because Sebastian gets the attention of a celebrity but is as approachable as a close friend. You see everybody around you smile. It also carries a similar excitement to getting ready for partaking in a sports game.

Q: What did you learn/gain from this experience?

A: Being Sebastian brought me outside my comfort zone. It isn’t very aligned with the rest of my personality. Overall, it is a great reminder that it can be exciting to be different.

Q: What message do you hope to convey to future ‘Canes?

A: My four years went way too fast. Still not sure how it’s over now. I’d say to try and make the most of every day. There are so many people to meet, ways to get involved, places to explore, etc. It is cliche advice, but you’ll want to look back at the four years and feel like you made the most of it.

Q: What was your favorite event to attend as Sebastian?

A: traveled with the basketball team to Kansas City for the Sweet 16 and Elite 8. This whole experience is the coolest thing did in my four years as a student. Being on the court after a comeback to send us to the Final 4 is an unreal feeling.

michael O’REILLY senior

Q: What are your major(s) and minor(s)?

A: Majors in Management & Legal Studies, and a minor in Communications.

Q: How tall are you?

A: 6’3.

Q: Why did you try out to be a Sebastian?

A: I used to consider myself a shy and independent person, and this was the ultimate test of my confident and courage. One morning, I was walking around campus and saw Sebastian and screamed for him to come take a photo with me. After that, I began seeing advertisements on campus and decided to go for it! haven’t looked back since and always think about that moment when I got the “call”...it was quite a lot to take in.

Q: What was the tryout process like?

A: Trying out for Sebastian is intentionally challenging, but extremely fun! I put together a song/dance combo, and then had to improvise with various situations throughout the “try out”. I would not consider myself to have been a good dancer back in freshman year, so looking back it was definitely a scary process, but beyond rewarding.

Q: What did you gain from this experience?

A: It is really wholesome to reflect back to just a few years ago...I was a shy freshman, with limited confidence, and relocated to Miami, FL without any family or friends being here. This experience has made me who I am today, and undoubtedly proved to be the best decision I have ever made. I have learned so much about who I am, and who I want to be, and it is because of this experience and the Spirit Team, that I am proudly ready to graduate. I would never trade this experience for the world, and as the thought of graduation continues to make me sad, I am beyond joyful about all I accomplished on campus, and as Sebastian the Ibis.

BIRD WITH THE MOVES Michael O’Reilly reveals himself to be a senior who proudly wore the Sebastian costume for three years. Michael notes that the most humorous thing about being Sebastian is being booked for unique events. He notes that a Bar Mitzvah at Story Nightclub was one of the most unique bookings.

ACADEMICS

Living in Miami can be exciting, but when the time comes to get serious, ‘Canes know how to get it done. Comprised of 12 different academic schools, the university ranks high among others all over the country. With a competitive acceptance rate, students at the university have fought hard to maintain an excellent academic status.

To better the future, various research projects, backed by grants, are conducted at the university OPPORTUNITY

RESEARCH RESOURCES

“Open access (OA) publishing is a strong and growing trend within many academic fields that enables users around the world to access scholarship immediately upon publication, removing subscription barriers which are the chief obstacle to access.

In support of this evolution in scholarly communication, the University Libraries are collaborating with several publishers to pilot opportunities for our research community to publish OA journal articles.

$696,760

“The University of Miami School of Nursing and Health Studies has received an R34 planning grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) at the National Institutes of Health to pilot-test an implementation strategy aligned with the federal Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) initiative. This grant will fund a project by clinical psychologist Audrey Harkness, PhD.”

$23.57 MILLION

“The University of Miami School of Nursing and Health Studies (SONHS) has been awarded a $23.57 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to join the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program.

Miami-ECHO researchers will investigate how stress experienced by parents, fueled by social and economic inequities, can biologically and psychologically affect their children. The seven-year grant consists of two phases. The first phase includes a $6,683,383 award. After phase one is done in May 2025, an additional $16,890,609 will be awarded for the second phase.”

For University of Miami authors to take advantage of these programs, each article’s corresponding author must be affiliated with the University.”

$1 MILLION

“Scientists at the University of Miami’s Barbados Atmospheric Chemistry Observatory (BACO) have collected dust samples in precisely this fashion, using instruments to study how the tiny particles affect clouds, climate, and air quality. A $1 million National Science Foundation grant will allow them to expand and upgrade.

A revamped Barbados facility will directly impact research that will be conducted at the new Center for Aerosol Science and Technology. The center will involve collaborations between faculty members and students in the College of Engineering, Rosenstiel School and the Miller School of Medicine.”

FELLOWSHIPS

“Bailey Wallace, Reid Rumelt, and Alexandra Stiffler are among the six University of Miami doctoral candidates who earned fellowships from the National Science Foundation.

Each of the students conducts different kinds of research. The topics include clinical psychology, marine biology, ecology, and wildlife research.”

“With dangerously high heat and humidity still scorching South Florida, a team of University of Miami graduate students has implemented a variety of strategies—from deploying heat sensors in households to interviewing dozens of residents—to learn more about and help mitigate the effects of extreme heat. extreme heat.

Catalyst Miami, a nonprofit that helps solve issues adversely affecting low-wealth communities, helped the two to identify households for their fieldwork, using a survey of residents who self-identified as being too hot in their homes and said they were willing to participate in the study. They went to several neighborhoods in the county, interviewing a wide range of citizens.”

$7.5 MILLION

“The United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has selected a team of University of Miami researchers to develop hybrid reefs that combine the waveprotection benefits of artificial structures with the ecological benefits of coral reefs.

As part of DARPA’s nationwide Reefense research program, The University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science will be the top recipient of funding for the $7.5M grant. Rosenstiel School researchers will lead the development of innovative hybrid biological and engineered reef structures designed to accelerate the protection of vulnerable coastal regions in Florida and the Caribbean. The team also includes professors from the College of Engineering and the College of Arts & Sciences.”

“Faculty members from the University of Miami’s College of Engineering and Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science were recently awarded a pair of grants from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a division of the U.S. Department of Commerce, to explore novel ways to fortify structures that border our coastline.

The two grants—which amount to nearly $800,000 over three years—are part of a larger $7.6 million investment by the National Science Foundation and NIST to support research that expands on our nation’s knowledge of community and infrastructure resilience to hurricanes, wildfires, and other natural hazards. The awards came just months after the creation of the University’s Climate Resilience Academy, launched this spring to incite more collaboration between faculty, industry, and government to find innovative remedies to issues related to the climate crisis, sustainability, and resilience.”

THE FUTURE

Traveling abroad to explore interests is something that this academic school values and encourages

The School of Architecture offers students a variety of ways to engage in hands-on learning. In fact, twelve students actually designed and constructed an outdoor modular classroom for a charter school in Key Largo this spring. The stunning octagonal structure was built on a protected hardwood hammock. Travel opportunities also enhance the learning experience. Senior Farha Reshamwala says “We have the option to study abroad in Rome for a semester in either fourth or fifth year, which I was lucky enough to do in the spring of my fourth year. Classes will also take trips to visit the places that they are studying for a given project. I know students who have taken class trips to Colombia, France, Germany, the Dominican Republic, Mexico and so many other cool places.”

A Q& justine clement

Q: Why did you choose French as your second major?

A: I took French in high school from grades 7-12 and it didn’t feel right leaving all that behind when I got to college.

Q: What do you like about the French language?

A: I was a dancer for 15 years, and so it was fun to get to understand the language since a lot of dance is French or Russian based.

Q: Do you hope to pursue French in any future career?

A: I do not want to pursue it as a future or in a career, but I am on the pre-med track so it would be beneficial to have another language under my belt for future communication with patients.

Q: What do you like about the College of Arts & Sciences?

A: The College of Arts & science has extremely exceptional academic advising. It is better than the School of Nursing & Health Studies, which is where my first major it. I appreciate that.

Q: What has been your favorite French class?

A: My favorite French class was probably FRE301, which is

JUDAIC STUDIES

Introduction to French and Francophone Studies, with Viviana Pezzullo. It was a lot of reading and interpretation, but she made it really fun and it didn’t feel like the work was tedious.

Q: Who is your favorite French professor?

A: Viviana Pezzullo for sure. I’ve had her two semesters in a row and to say she’s brilliant is an understatement. She’s fluent in about 7 languages and is overall a wonderful human being. She has so much joy and loves what she does, and you can tell she definitely cares about all of her students.

Q: What has been the most unique assignment you have done?

A: Last semester in FRE301, we did a symposium for our final project. We took a trip to the library archives and chose an artifact and connected it a reading we did in class. I chose a book that was full of paintings of Napoleons second wife’s flower garden and connected it to the poem “Le Cygne” about how femininity was captured and preserved over time. It was super stressful but it was a lot of fun and was definitely worth it in the end. FRENCH DOUBLE-MAJOR

fabulous FACULTY

The faculty at UMiami are among the best in the country. They are very passionate about the subjects they teach and it shows in their great efforts to mold the students. The following professors were nominated by current and former students to be featured in the yearbook spotlights

“One of the joys and passions of my teaching experience is piquing our students’ interest in the various aspects of the contemporary music industry while introducing them to the multitude of career opportunities that await them. Music copyright law, music publishing, licensing and placement are some of the most complicated areas of the music business. As a Frost educator, I’m given the opportunity to share the knowledge I’ve gained over a long career focused on these areas while at the same time helping to shape our future music industry leaders.”

Dr. Elizabeth Oldman

Senior Lecturer, Department of English

John Redmond Assistant Professor of Practice Music Industry Program

“I’ve had the opportunity to teach over a hundred classes in my twelve years in the English Department at the University of Miami, including ENG 201, 211, and three classes of my own design-- War and the Fashioning of Gender, Science, Magic, and Medicine in Early Modern Literature, and Rulership and the Politics of Resistance. I’m looking forward to offering a new ENG 106-- Taking Flight: The Aerodynamic Imagination --this spring. greatly enjoy the challenge of making difficult literary and contextual materials accessible and interesting to students who might not otherwise find them approachable or compelling.”

Professor

Kathleen McAuliffe Professor in the Ecosystem Science Program

“As a former talent agent at a large entertainment firm, I worked with writers for film and television. The part that I most loved about that job was nurturing talent. This is why I love what I do now at UM. Teaching teleplay and scriptwriting to students is exhilarating. Writing is a skill that needs to be packaged in a distinct way for careers in film and TV. Script structure, story lines and character are among the teachable elements. It’s pure joy to see when these skills merge with creative talents.”

Dr. Viviana Pezzullo Lecturer of French and Director of Undergraduate Studies of French

“Before teaching, spent most of my career writing books and articles about the biological sciences for popular audiences. In the process I learned how to translate complex technical information into easy-to-understand language —a skill that has helped me immensely as a professor. I love watching the light bulbs go off in my students’ heads as they grasp a concept. At that moment, I can see from their expressions that they’re as excited by the science as I am—or maybe even more so, because it’s all new to them.”

Betsy Helf Mateu Lecturer & Faculty Internship Coordinator School of Communication

“My mission as an educator consists of inspiring students and instilling in them a drive for learning by fostering a growth mindset. want my students to get passionate and curious about the world around them. I strive to bring my commitment to social justice into my classroom and I prioritize discussion and dialogue as opportunities to learn from one another by building a sense of community. As a language educator, I feel I have an ethical responsibility to encourage conversations that empower students to become critical thinkers and ethical leaders.”

START of a new era

The season starts strong with two wins, but falters soon after loss against Texas A&M

Playing three smaller schools in the first four games of the season, the Hurricanes seemed to have a shoo-in after beating Bethune-Cookman 70-13 in the first week of college football. With seven touchdowns, three of which were scored by running back Henry Parrish Jr. with 108 rushing yards for the game, the ‘Canes charged into week two facing Southern Mississippi.

Another strong win at home, kicker Andres Borregales gained 12 points for the team with three field goals and three extra points in the 30-7 matchup against Southern Mississippi with a touchdown each from Henry Parrish Jr., Thaddius Franklin Jr., and Key’Shawn Smith.

However, after a loss to Texas A&M, Middle Tennessee took the win versus the ‘Canes. After only 10 points in the first half, freshman quarterback Jake Garcia was brought in, completing 169 yards. In an effort to shorten the gap in points, sophomore running back Thaddius Franklin Jr. scored two one-yard touchdowns with the help of a 91-yard kick-off return by sophomore wide receiver Key’Shawn Smith, but it wasn’t enough in the 45-31 loss.

ADDITIONS to the team

Coach Cristobal brought several high-level coaches to join him in Miami to create the ideal coaching staff

OUR NEW head coach

Returning to the ‘U’ after over 30 years, alumni Mario Cristobal is determined to lead the Hurricanes to victory

Mario Cristobal has been named the University of Miami’s 26th football head coach.

Cristobal comes to Coral Gables with more than 20 years of FBS coaching experience, including 10 as head coach. At Oregon, he amassed a 35-13 record and guided the Ducks to back-to-back Pac-12 championships in 2019 and 2020.

THE FIELD

The football team shines as they give back to the community through education, youth sports and military recognition

‘Canes football has always been recognized for its dedication to community service. During the fall semester, the team was involved in coaching and entertaining children on a local youth football team at Somerset Academy Charter South Miami.

The team stepped in to coach the kids during a practice session and teach them drills through fun activities. Ensuring the

children had a fun time was the goal of the visit. Hyping the kids up and making sure they’re having fun was their number one priority.

Each team member shared words of wisdom with the kids to inspire them to work hard and follow their dreams.

Community service gives ‘Canes football the opportunity to give back to the community that supports them.

A Q& john yayi-bondje

Q: What was your highlight of the 2022 season?

A: My highlight of last season was the end of the season team bonding activities. As you know, the team didn’t do well last season. It was through that adversity, that brought us closer together to want to change the culture and flip the narrative.

Q: Why do you love the UM team?

A: love the UMiami football team because of the rich history it holds. Everybody comes in here with the hopes of bringing it back to its former glory, and that’s something we can all bond on, fan or teammate.

Q: How do you balance being an athlete and student?

A: honestly, the hack to balancing Football and school is sacrificing a lot of personal time. There are times when my friends are hanging out or there’s something fun happening on campus and I either have practice early in the morning or I have an assignment that I need to do that I won’t have time for later. So fun ends up being sacrificed. That doesn’t mean that’s always the case but it is for the majority. Especially as someone on the pre med track.

The season ends strong with a win over FSU, and

At the FSU XC Invitational, sophomore Daphnee Lavassas led the cross country teams to an excellent end to the regular season. Lavassas had another record-breaking race day. She won the race and shaved 13 seconds off the previous record she had established earlier this year with a timing of 17:10.9. Out of 30 teams, the Miami women placed second in the team standings, just behind LSU. Six Hurricanes completed in under 26 minutes as the men also placed in the top 10. Second for the Hurricanes to cross the finish line was sophomore Elle Mezzio in ninth (17:41.5), closely followed by sophomore Natalie Varela in 8th (17:38.6). The final female top-15 finisher was Bianca Banato, who placed 12th (17.50.7)

“Today was a lot of fun,” said Coach Halsey in an interview with UM Athletics. "It’s so satisfying to see their hard work finally start coming to fruition. It’s rare for an entire group to have a great race on the same day, but all 18 of these men and women ran a personal best today. That’s amazing and a testament to their buy in as well as their trust in each other. They work incredibly hard and today we saw it to pay off," Coach Halsey told UM Athletics.

With a strong start for the 22nd-ranked Miami Hurricanes baseball club, who have amassed a significant number of victories on their home field, Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field, there were endless possibilities. The team is aiming for a winning season and will start the 2023 campaign as the ACC Coastal Division’s preseason favorite. Additionally, the Miami Hurricanes baseball team was featured on national television at least eight times. in the 2023 season.

The offensive outburst against Stetson University was ignited by Yohandy Morales’ tremendous three-run jack. His estimated 456-foot roundtripper in the 1st inning gave the Hurricanes of his hometown a 3-0 lead. In the third, the junior hit a two-run home run from 443 feet away to increase the Hurricanes’ lead to five. Freshman Blake Cyr started his ascent up the charts as Morales got close to the top-10 home run mark in program history. Two batters after Morales’ magnificent homer, Cyr smashed a two-run shot of his own from the opposite field.

Mid-season game results are both favorable and non-favorable, as they result ups and downs

At Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field, the 17th-ranked Hurricanes blasted four home runs to defeat the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats, 12-6. Miami (23-13) quickly outran the Wildcats (20-15) by a score of 10-0 and never looked back.

The Hurricanes scored five runs in the 2nd inning before adding four more in the third. Ian Farrow, a junior designated hitter, opened the scoring with a triple with two RBIs. After, catcher Carlos Perez hit a two-run home run to become the 1st Hurricane to hit more than ten home runs this year. Five pitches later, Lorenzo Carrier, a redshirt freshman, hit a solo homer for his third round-tripper in the previous four contests. Yohandy Morales, a junior third baseman, started the third with the 1st pitch of the inning, increasing the lead to 6-0.

“The home run has kind of been our MO for the season,” Miami head coach Gino DiMare said. “If you have nine tough guys in the lineup, it makes it taxing on their pitcher. If the pitcher makes a mistake, these guys have a chance to knock it out of the ballpark. I thought our at-bats were good the first half, but we didn’t quite swing it well the second half.”

GREEKS

Involvement in Greek life on campus is at an all time high. To ensure everyone at the university can be involved in Greek life, several types of sororities, councils and fraternities are active. Students can join the Multicultural Greek Council, or a traditional sorority and fraternity. With 26 Greek organizations on campus, all ‘Canes can participate.

FOR A CAUSE The sisters of Zeta Tau Alpha host a breast cancer awareness event during the month of October to spread ideas of healthy living. President Julio Frenk speaks at the event.

LUCKY day to be picked

With the excitement of discovering a Greek org is right for them, Bid Day is looked forward to

Bid Day is the culminating event held at the end of Rush Week; a week of festivities and social activities for students wishing to join a sorority. At the Bid Day ceremony held on the intramural fields, students who have made it to the final stage of the recruitment process find out if they have been accepted into a sorority. The new recruits then receive a t-shirt and join their sorority for photos at Lakeside Patio. Finally, each sorority hosts a bid day activity trip where new recruits connect with members for a day of fun filled activities off campus.

Isabella Pitarresi, a sophomore majoring in Marine Biology and Ecology stated, “My favorite part of rush week was meeting new people. The whole week was a fun way to get to know the girls in my recruitment group, other potential new members, recruitment counselors, and girls in many different sororities.” As Bid Day closes out the formal sorority recruitment process, it opens the door for students to meet new people, make new friends, and start a new chapter as a sorority sister.

THEIR MISSION

The mission of Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity (ZBT) is to foster and develop in its brotherhood the tenets of its Credo: Intellectual Awareness, Social Responsibility, Integrity and Brotherly Love, in order to prepare its brothers for positions of leadership and service within their communities. Mindful of its founding in 1898 as the world’s first Jewish Fraternity, ZBT will preserve and cultivate its relationships within the Jewish community. Since 1954, ZBT has been committed to its policy of non-sectarian brotherhood, and values the diversity of its brothers. ZBT will recruit and initiate men of good character, regardless of religion, race or creed who are accepting of these principles.

THEIR VALUES quick

Fraternity creates an atmosphere conducive to the expansion of the individual’s intellectual horizons, the interchange of ideas within the academic community and the pursuit of scholastic excellence. Fraternity requires the individual to commit himself and accept his responsibility to participate. Fraternity generates a standard of personal integrity – a framework for the individual to maintain.

TALK about our hair

A newly established organization is paving the way for student interactivity and providing a safe space for all

During the spring semester, Hairology made their large presence on campus known. Holding one of the first ever fashion shows centered around hair, the organization has been implementing strategies to excite the campus community and bring them together.

Hairology has proved to be an innovative organization, garnering recognition from the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs. For their efforts to bring the community together through their “Hair-I-Tage” fashion show, they were awarded the Cross-Cultural Collaboration award. The org also aims to help educate and inform students, as various workshops are hosted by Hairology. A “DIY Hair Oil” workshop is among the most popular teaching events that they host, and goes over the benefits of using hair oils, as well as tips for your hair texture.

LOUD MUSIC

Tradition and celebration are back, as the musically talented showcase their abilities without restriction

The return of the footbal season meant it was time to bring back prepandemic traditions at Hard Rock. The new school year and performance season brought an end to wearing masks, travel limitations, and prerecorded performances for the band.

Traveling to games with the football team and performing on the field are both things the pandemic has affected. Tyler Jacquays, who is a thirdyear member of the band, was ecstatic to have the full experience as a band member without restrictions for the first time.

“This year is an exciting year for us because we are returning to all the pre-pandemic traditions and traveling to every single football game. We’re bringing back fan zone at games and tailgate performances, as well as performing for students at the Rathskeller,” Jacquays said.

The team dynamic and personal bonds formed for the members help build their chemistry for performing on the field. Jacquays gives insight into the relationships and the team dynamic with new members.

“Band Camp, which we do in the summer every year, helpts to prepare for the season. It was a great chance to become close with our new members and learn to work together. We have a lot of social events outside of practice and we’ve all become close friends, and it’s reflected in our performances,” he said. ALL TOGETHER NOW

SHOP right on campus

Pairing sustainability with fashion and clothing is the goal of this well-known and innovative organization

Every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. the UThrift organization can be found tabling in front of the Shalala Student Center. This pop-up thrift swap attracts students at all hours of the day.

At the pop-up, students can thrift different clothing items in a unique way. To take clothes from the booth, items must be brought in exchange, and a swap must occur.

UThrift frequently partners with other organizations across campus to do giveaways and host special events. This year, UThrift hosted an event on the UC Patio. Students were invited to attend, free of charge. At the event, students were able to personally customize their own clothing. UThrift provided stick-on icons and letters, and students were able to place them on their clothing to rock a unique piece.

FANATICS for fashion and fun

From fashion shows to pumkin decorating, UThrift always finds ways to engage. UThrift tables every Wednesday from 10am-4pm. To participate, students may bring lightly-used items to donate, and recieve items in return.

The co-ed and all-girls cheer squads can be found every game day full of spirit to hype up the crowd with their performances

University of Miami’s cheerleading squad has been at every football game, hyping up the crowd since 1925. This year was no different. Traveling across state to cheer on the UM football team, the UCheer team brought in another great season of football. Both the co-ed and all-girls team were at every game and competition. This year, Dylan Barron and Sophia Falkenberg were captains of the co-ed and all-girls team, respectively. Logan Ryan, a first-year student on the all-girls team, has been enjoying her season under Falkenberg. “Sophia is a great leader, supporting us through every game,” Ryan said. “I couldn’t imagine starting off my first year cheerleading with any other captain.”

The cheerleading team began the 2022-2023 following their successful UCA College Nationals Competition in January 2022.The competition took place in Orlando, Florida, January 14-16, 2022. The team placed 12th in the D1A Game Day divisionwith zero deductions. The team will be competing at the next UCA College Nationals Competition in January2023, led by their coach Cecilia Esteban. It is Cine Brown’s (2024) second year on the team, so the competition in January will be her second. “Last year was so much fun,” Brown said. “I am looking forward to doing it all over again! We are working hard.”

Throughout the duration of an entire academic year, The Miami Hurricane publishes 16 unique print editions of their magazine, as well as weekly online published articles on their website.

TMH’s Editor-in-Chief for the next academic year, enjoyed the conference for many reasons, one of which was the networking.

“The ACP conference was a fantastic learning experience because it combined hundred of students journalists and professionals into one space where we were all able to compare and share our experiences,” Jacoby said.

The paper brought home six awards from the ACP conference.

A team of dancers are ready to move and are anticipating their most successful season yet under their brand new head coach

A CHANGE of pace

The Sunsations are the official dance team for the University of Miami. They are now led by new head coach Jonni Rogers. Rogers is a former NFL Pro Bowl Cheerleader for the Oakland Raiderettes, followed by an extensive career coaching teams across the country. Rogers has coached multiple dance teams and was a professional choreographer for teams in state competitions.

Following three years not coaching college teams, Rogers was excited to be given the opportunity to train and choreograph UM’s official dance team. “This dream would not be possible if it weren’t for Steph Mas, who always made me feel seen in this Miami dance world,” Rogers said, referencing former head coach of the Sunsations. “I cannot wait to work with UCheer and Cecilia Esteban

and do big things together!”

The UM Sunsations team compete annually in the UDA college nationals. In January 2022, the Sunsations represent UM in the D1A Jazz and D1A HipHop divisions at the UDA competition in Orlando, Florida.

The Sunsations did not rank as high as past competitions, but gave it their all nonetheless. Danielle Lovetro, a senior and a veteran member of the Sunsations, competed at the UDA competition. “It can be disappointing when our team does not rank high. I still had a blast competing though.” Lovetro said. “Taking this trip with my team and being able to perform on stage again was amazing.” This year, the Sunsations are planning to return to the UDA competition and ranking higher with the assistance of their new coach.

ROOKIES

The Hurricanettes are back and bringing their bright spirits to UM with one of their biggest rookie classes yet

What football game would be complete without a half-time performance? The Hurricanettes were found at every football game, and most other sporting events, loyally cheering on our teams and performing at half-time with the Frost Band of the Hour. This year, the team featured 17 girls from different majors and backgrounds, led by coach Tess Guidry. Guidry, former Dallas Cowboys’ cheerleader, choreographed every performance by the Hurricanettes and coached them through multiple performances. Rookie member Megan O’Brien said that in just the first few months of the fall semester, the Hurricanettes “had performances at The Rathskeller and Cane’s Take Flight, as well as halftimes at the football games!” The Hurricanettes were all around campus performing.

O’Brien was just one of eight rookies that started on the Hurricanettes Dance Team this year. This 2023 Hurricanettes rookie class was one of the biggest the Hurricanettes have seen in the past few years. With the addition of eight new members, the team now has 17 girls. “It’s so fun performing as a team while also getting to represent the school,” O’Brien said. “I can’t wait to make more memories with these girls throughout the season, and experience all the Miami game days.”

After a near-death experience due to blood clots, Bosh was forced to resign from the NBA. At his What Matters to U discussion, Bosh highlights how this changed the course of his life.

Bosh, in his speech, discussed that he is currently focusing on travel, his family, fatherhood, philanthropy and music.

‘CANES pop-off event

Hurricane Productions hosts various student events throughout the year. To celebrate the start of the fall semester, HP hosted the ‘Canes Pop Off event where students got to unwind

LETS GO have some fun

In an effort to keep students at the university engaged, a campus organization hosts fun events for all

Hurricane Productions, the largest programming board on campus, is responsible for planning, organizing, and executing some of the largest events UM students enjoy. Each semester, students involved in Hurricane Productions pour countless hours into planning lavish events.

Some fan favorite events from this year include Sebastian’s Spring Break Hangout, Breakfast at Sebastian’s, Now That’s What I Call ‘Canes, and the ‘Canes Carnival.

Sophomore Aris Montero, Vice Chair of Hurricane Productions, stated that her favorite event is the ‘Canes Carnival because it is HP’s biggest event of the year. She says, “What’s really great about HP is that you don’t need to have an outstanding high school resume or ace an interview, rather you can just come in as you are but leave HP as someone who has gained so much from the organization.”

Overall, HP strives to interact with every person that is a part of the student body, beginning at freshmen orientation and continuing into the final days before graduation. The events that this organization plans bring students together for meaningful experiences without ever having to leave the UM Coral Gables campus.

DISTRACTED

Go behind the scenes with UM’s award winning studentrun and student-produced magazine, published quarterly

A Q& lizzie kristal

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Q: What do you love about being Editor-in-Chief of the magazine?

A: I love taking on so many little roles as EIC. I can write, design, photograph, organize, and more in this position. Best of all, I love interacting with my staff. Their personalities are all so unique, and pulling them into one issue is so rewarding.

Q: What do you hope for the future of the magazine?

A: I hope Distraction continues to make waves in the world of collegiate magazines. We’ve had an honorable legacy, and I hope future staffs can continue that in their own unique ways.

Q: What has been your toughest challenge this year?

A: The toughest challenge this year was pulling a staff together from practically thin air. Majority of last year’s staff graduated, and we had very few members carry over into this year. Recruiting, placing, training, and retaining new members was incredibly difficult.

Q: Which issue/cover was your favorite this year?

A: Though I’m proud of all issues, my favorite is the summer 2023 issue, especially the ballet core cover. It shows our immense growth as a staff in comparison to the fall 2022 issue. The special section, “Loud,” also was so creative and came together very nicely.

Q: How do you think the magazine benefits the UM community?

A: Distraction is an aesthetic escape for UM students. Our content speaks to many audiences, and I can’t wait to keep expanding that. Beyond just the readers, Distraction gives students a great way to jumpstart creative careers. Models, writers, designers, and photographers all experiment with Distraction. We are a community ourselves, set out to provide a distraction to UM students.

Q: If you could do it again, what would you have done differently?

A: I wouldn’t change a thing. The mistakes I made along the way, and there are plenty, are what made me grow. Without those initial typos,

BETA BETA BETA

WHO THEY ARE

TriBeta was founded in 1922 at Oklahoma City University, the Alpha Chapter, by Dr. Frank G. Brooks and a group of his students. The idea of an honor and professional society for biology students spread rapidly and by 1925, the society was a national organization. Biennial national conventions of student and faculty members began in that year and in 1930 the society journal, BIOS, began publication of student research, articles of interest to biologists and society news. Awards are given for outstanding individuals and chapters.

WHAT IT TAKES

Membership into the honor society is for students, particularly undergraduates, dedicated to improving the understanding and appreciation of biological study and extending boundaries of human knowledge through scientific research. Since its founding in 1922, more than 200,000 persons have been accepted into lifetime membership, and more than 626 chapters have been established throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.

To name a few being Haitian (Planet Kreyol), being a black woman (Patricia

A. Whitely Women’s Symposium and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated), and inclusivity ( IMPACT Leadership Retreat, Racial Justice Grant:STEAM-D and HEC). These past 4 years have been the stepping stones to further impacting the various aspects of my identities.

A: UM gave me a space to grow into the woman I once dreamed of becoming! I have learned so much in the last 3.5 years, from how to be a leader to learning how to network and take any opportunity presented to me. The Miami Hurricanes will always be a part of me.

Q: What are you most looking forward to in this new decade?

A: I am most looking forward to applying to medical school and becoming a physician! Before I do, I’ll be taking a gap year to further explore the medical field, including global medical mission trips!

Q: What are you most proud of accomplishing at UM?

A: Starting football pep rallies on campus this year.

Q: What are your majors/minors?

A: Major: Biology and Health Science. Minors: Chemistry and Creative Writing.

Q: Where is your hometown?

A: Portmore, Jamaica

Q: How has UM built and shaped you?

A: The ‘U’ has created an environment that nurtured my leadership potential. I can confidently say that through my interactions with organizations and events on campus, I have been holistically developed and aptly prepared to tackle the complex systematic issues I will face upon leaving this institution.

Q: What are you most proud of accomplishing at UM?

A: My proudest accomplishment was working with my amazing team to complete Answer Campus, an interactive, simulation-based video game that could one day be used for cultural competency training.

Q: What will you miss the most about your time here at UM?

A: I will definitely miss the community here. I feel like different areas on campus have become second homes to me.

gabriella torna

Q: What are your majors/minors?

A: Major: Creative Advertising.

Minor: Electronic media production.

Q: Where is your hometown?

A: Miami, Florida

Q: How has UM built and shaped you?

A: When I first started at the university I had never been a leader or thought of myself as one. I was a spring transfer which made me feel behind on building friendships, getting involved, and just becoming a ‘Cane. What I had no realize was that it was the perfect time for me, UM has created a person who has followed her dreams, let her passions drive her, and has created a leader out of someone who once thought they could never be one. I am who I am now because of the opportunities that UM has given me, and the chances to explore myself creatively.

Q: What will you miss the most about your time here at UM?

A: I’ll miss hanging out in the OCSI office everyday. OCSI gave me my start and made me the leader I am today, it’s a huge part of my identity.

Q: What are your majors/minors?

A: Major: Political Science Minors: Broadcast Journalism, Theatre Arts, and Music.

Q: Where is your hometown?

A: Plantation, FL

Q: What are you most looking forward to in this new decade?

A: I want to transfer the skills I have acquired during my time as ‘Cane to my career as a lawyer. Within the next decade, I will pursue a legal career- it is my dream to become a U.S. Press Secretary- utilizing my political science knowledge, broadcasting skills, and public speaking experience. I want to be open and honest with the American people while educating them on our country’s government. I recognize that the chance to do this is not only a duty and an honor but a privilege as well. I also want to increase the female demographic in politics and bring Hispanic representation to the table (which is greatly lacking among political officials). My greatest hope is that, as a young lawyer, I can make an indisputable impact on this country.

CLOSING

Though each academic year must come to an end, the memories created along the way will always be remembered. The lessons and friendships ‘Canes made will live on, both on campus and in their hearts forever. As we reflect, we remember how great it is to be a Hurricane, and look forward to whatever the future may bring.

FROM THE EDITOR

The 2023 Ibis Yearbook was put together by a dedicated team of staffers who worked countless hours to produce this yearbook. Through thick and thin, the 2023 staff worked together and collaborated to keep a piece of UM alive.

I would like to thank my family, friends and colleagues for continuing to believe in me and keeping me grounded. It would not have been possible for me to lead this incredible staff once again without their help and guidance.

I will always be grateful to all those at the University of Miami who answered countless emails and assisted us through the struggles of gathering content in a post-pandemic world and university.

Finally, my most humble thanks to Professor Stano, the Board of Student Publications, Admins at UM and those at Balfour Publishing for your crucial role in the completion of the Ibis. Thank you for being the backbone of this book, and for guiding me throughout my second year as the Editor-in-Chief of this award winning and highly regarded student media publication.

I hope that this book serves as a piece of this university’s history. It is a time capsule of memories, meant for generations of ‘Canes to look back on and remember how great it is to be a Miami Hurricane. It has been an honor and a pleasure to oversee the production of the 97th volume of the Ibis, and I anxiously look forward to being your Editor-in-Chief again my final year; senior year.

Sincerely, Carolina Camus

THE JOURNEY

As an academic year comes to and end, we can take time to understand how our path has changed. We’ve veered off into uncharted territories and meandered through triumphs and tribulations. The March Madness basketball seasons for both men’s and women’s teams were certainly a triumph we all experienced. At this point in time, the very essence of our paths’ non-linearity becomes evident. The journey’s end is not a defeat, but a culmination of the growth, evolution and spontinaity of each of our individual paths in life.

REFLECTION

The course of life is shaped by a plethora of choices, circumstances, encounters, and challenges. When you chose to become a ‘Cane, you, and countless others, allowed your paths to intermingle become one. Patio Jams, Homecoming, sporting events, and Greek life are all opportunities to merge paths with others. Although our paths will eventualy diverge as we move on from the university, we can reflect on the path behind us and appreciate that the University of Miami intertwined us all, leaving a mark on our lives.
