STUDENT SMOKE SECTION In order to bring a unique element to Miami football games, the university created the student smoke section. First occurring in 2013, the student smoke section allows students submit an application for each football game and be selected to set off the smoke before a game. The cans students set off release pressurized air that erupts in a white smoke. Photo by Jared Lennon

RUN OUT ONTO THE FIELD At the Homecoming football game against Virginia, Sebastian the Ibis, dressed in his Iron Arrow jacket, leads the football team out at Hard Rock Stadium. The game, which would eventually lead to a 29-26 win in overtime, highlighted ‘Cane alumni by bringing them out onto the field. Alumni of Iron Arrow, the Sunsations, the Hurricanettes, the Band of the Hour and UCheer were all brought out onto the field for performances. The tradition brings together generations of 'Canes that have all come back to Miami for the annual Homecoming celebrations, keeping them connected from all over the world. Photo by Char Jones

OUR HOME

Being a ‘Cane means belonging to something bigger than just a university. The word ‘Hurricane’ means pride, accomplishment and family. Since opening its doors in 1925, UM has served as a second home for every student that steps foot on its campus, harnessing their individual talents and desires. Being a part of such a strong community of individuals means that the future is bright for both past, present and future students.

STUDENT SECTION HYPE During the first quarter of the football game 23-20 loss against Georgia Tech, students fill up the designated student section and throw up the "U" with excitement. Students have the luxury of purchasing discounted tickets located on the visiting side next to the Frost Band of the Hour. They can also enjoy complimentary transportation to and from the stadium every 15 minutes through a bus service paid for by the university. Spending time with other students and friends allows current 'Canes to make memories at football games that they can remember even after they graduate from the university. Photo by Char Jones

OUR PRIDE

Hurricane pride is at the heart of the University of Miami. Tailgates, spirit week, Sebastian the Ibis, football games and fight songs are some of the many ways ‘Canes show their love for the university. Tradition is a big part of the ‘Cane culture. For this reason, every student that enters the university understands that once they are a Miami Hurricane, they are always a Miami Hurricane. The support network they create will be with them for all time.

LIFESTYLES

Student life is a big part of ‘Cane spirit on campus. During the spring and fall semesters, students will experience a handful of different events that will make their time at UM memorable. Changing trends, summer jobs, Miami life Homecoming, Patio Jams and ‘Canes Carnival are all things that students will experience. And while all of these events are taking place, students are finding themselves and enjoying their four years as a Miami Hurricane.

Before making the “long” move to Pearson Residential College from Coral Gables, freshman Marcos Algeciras traveled in Europe along with his parents, and stopped in Prague, Czech Republic since it was “on the way back to Munich from Krakow, Poland." It was really special for him to see the beautiful city that was spared during World War II. The major highlights of the trip were seeing the street performers.

LOCAL staying

When close to 36% of students are in-state students, many are from the Miami area. When it’s time to pack up the dorm room and head home, what do local students do over the summer after spending their whole year in Miami?

Freshman student Sofia Bronstein, Coral Gables native, spent this summer working at her synagogue’s day camp. This experience “showed me just how much I enjoyed spending time with them.” As a guitar player, she shared her music with the kids and noticed that each child connected with music in a different way, thus showing her the power of music.

She describes the Miami summer as hot, “but driving down Old Cutler Road at night, watching the sunrise at Crandon and even waiting in line for a Pub Sub are priceless experiences that I am so lucky to have.” Miami is always changing, and the summertime gives Bronstein the time to explore. When she’s not in Coral Gables over the summer, Bronstein can be found at Camp Coleman in Georgia, the sleepaway camp she attended

in her youth.

Commuter student Olivia Pino made it a priority to spend quality time with friends while working as a server at a restaurant this summer. Pino’s Wednesdays were beach days with Pub Subs and friends. She describes the Miami summer like “it’s vacation every day.”

However, since she was “able to grow up along the water and have sunny weather all around makes it feel like a never-ending summer.”

Freshman Ameerah Kawa “worked at the Coral Gables Youth Center as a camp counselor, and it was super cool because I went there as a camper.” Working with kids made her realize how impressionable children are, that she even bonded with a young girl. This connection “taught me the importance of being a good example for her.”

When not working, Kawa spent time with friends, and even attended a Feid concert. It’s fun for her “living somewhere that people vacation because all the tourist things people enjoy are activities non natives would probably not do or go to.”

Time spent frequenting the beaches in the area makes memories under the sun

WTHE SUN fun in

ith the constant subtropical weather, beaming sunshine and palm trees, the University of Miami often feels more like a vacation destination than a college. During the school week students spent time inside classrooms, libraries and dorms doing their homework and waiting for a break when they could enjoy the sunshine. So when the weekend came around, there was only one place students wanted to be…the beach.

Miami is jam-packed with premium beach opportunities ranging from South Beach to Key Biscayne, many of which are just a quick car ride away. For students who come from landlocked states, this was the first time they had quick and easy access to the ocean.

“I love being so close to the beach! When I lived in Pittsburgh we would go on vacations to Miami during winter break, so now I feel like I’m on vacation every day,” explained freshman Katie McNelly.

For many people, when thinking of Miami beaches, the first thing that comes to mind is South Beach. Notoriously known for its bustling nightlife, lively atmosphere and

eclectic vibe, students were able to immerse themselves in the culture of South Miami while relaxing on the pristine white sand. However, most students found themselves taking the faster route to Key Biscayne, home to the Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric and Earth Science.

Students escaped to this island village to enjoy popular spots such as Crandon Park, Bill Baggs and Virginia Key Beach Park. Those who explored these destinations with little to no beach experience were amazed by the coast and found themselves eager to immerse themselves in it.

Freshman Fritz Sullivan from Missouri revealed that “I don’t have much experience with beaches and all that. It’s so humid and there are palm trees everywhere. It feels like I’m on another planet.”

Clubs on campus such as Surfrider, Outdoor Adventures and Scuba Club encouraged students to explore the coast and connect with others through surf trips, diving, wake surfing and beach cleanups. Days spent on the beach turned into lifelong memories for students, where friendships were formed on the sand.

The move-in process to Miami at the start of a new academic year

Aour new HOME

ug. 14 was a bustling day on campus. Hundreds of first-year students and families gathered for the annual ‘Cane Kickoff event, starting the move into Mahoney, Pearson, and Stanford Residential Colleges.

These students spent their first few days at UM putting the finishing touches on their dorms, meeting their RAs and FYFs and getting to know other students living on their floor.

Rachel Todebush, a freshman from Atlanta moved into Pearson Residential College on the second day of ‘Cane Kickoff.

“I was a little nervous to move in, but seeing how excited

everyone was to be back on campus eased my nerves.”

She explained how she and her roommate found the move-in process effortless, all thanks to the ‘Cane Kickoff staff.

After the week was over, firstyear ‘Canes like Todebush were fully prepared to start their journey at the "U." As for returning students, moving back to Miami was pure excitement.

With Centennial Village still in the works, housing for non-freshmen is not guaranteed. But, students living both on and off campus were overjoyed to be back in Coral Gables, as they looked forward to the new academic year ahead.

cloisters chaos

During move-in week, students moving into The Cloisters Miami would come to learn that they would have to seek residency elsewhere. The apartment complex, which many students had signed leases for, was not ready for tenants or residents.

After a summer of believing that their apartments would be habitable, students were shocked to learn that they were required to live in the THesis Hotel while The Cloisters fnished construction. Angry students and parents alike requested that their rent money be returned to them, but their words heeded no results. Residents assumed that the odds of getting refunds were low.

Late summer orientation welcomes students to the "U" from across the globe

Incoming freshmen and transfer students kicked off their first week with the events and activities of ‘Canes Kickoff. From “Cane Kickoff LIVE” to “Sebastian’s Splash Bash”, students were able to create new friendships and get used to their new home.

As freshmen and transfers started to move into their new homes, President Julio Frenk officially welcomed the new students on campus by hosting “‘Canes Take Flight”, featuring the Frost Band of the Hour, Sebastian the Ibis and many more.

PARADISE welcome to

The students were also able to enjoy a day out exploring what Miami has to offer outside of campus by attending an “Experience UM” session.

“I went to Vizcaya because I love architecture, and it was a really beautiful and refreshing ex perience. I took the metro for the first time and met great people that I am still good friends with now,” said incoming freshman Keira Tellado.

Ranging from the beach to Wynwood Walls, students were able to attend a session and enjoy the day out in the city.

Because the University of Miami is located in South Florida, the temperature can soar into unbearable levels. While sunscreen, sunglasses and hats are a way to keep cool in the sun, there are plenty of cold and refreshing dining options on campus to help keep students cool all year.

STARBUCKS REFRESHERS

Because of extreme Miami heat, students like to cool off with Starbucks Refreshers which can be found at the Starbucks in the Shalala Student Center. There are more than 10 refreshers for students to choose from.

TOSSED SALADS

A cold salad in between classes can help students eat healthy while choosing a food option that is cold instead of hot. Tossed is located in the Storm Surge Food Court.

SMOOTHIE KING BOWLS

As a healthy dining option, students choose to personalize their own smoothie bowls loaded with cold fruit and a frozen base. Smoothie King can be found on the first floor of Lakeside.

COLDSTONE FOOD TRUCKS

An ice cream stop at the Coldstone foodtruck offers students a way to cool down after a long day of classes. Trucks can be found daily at the Rock Plaza.

Always the best spot for gathering, Lakeside Patio brings all ‘Canes together

LLAKESIDE we love

Located adjacent to Lake Osceola, Lakeside Patio is an outdoor space that’s utilized for campus events and activities such as Patio Jams, as well as a place for local food vendors or crafters to come and sell their products, a space for clubs to table outside or a spot for groups such as our chapter of Phi Mu Alpha to sing the night away.

The patio features a stage, and a few seatings options to choose from between the gliders and tables with chairs and bright orange umbrellas. If there are no events scheduled, students and staff can be seen at all hours of the day enjoying the Miami weather either studying, shopping or more commonly eating food from the food court.

“I like the breeze that comes in from the lake,” freshman Ty Raimann comments. “I often go late at night after the gym to take in the cool Miami air and gaze at Lake Osceola—especially during the Florida winter season.” Raimann finds that the patio is the best spot to clear your head.

The quest to find the best study spots leads students to find unconventional spaces to focus

AFOCUSED quiet and

s most students have learned over their time spent on campus, it’s nearly impossible to find a spot at Shalala or Richter Library during midterm and finals week. Students crowd the first and second floors of the library making it challenging to find a desk and chair.

Alex Westover, class of ’24, prefers to study on the second floor of the admissions office. “I first discovered that spot because I have a friend that is in Category 5,” Westover mentions. “As I was up there I was like, ‘Ah, this is kinda nice.’ We went there on a weekend and nobody was there, so I just started going up there whenever I have time to sit up there and study,” Westover says. He recommends studying there in the morning between 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. because those are the quietest hours.

Junior Alexis Horowitz has been studying at the Hillel building since her freshman year. “It seemed like a very welcoming environment, especially as a Jewish student, being able to do my work in a

place surrounded by other Jewish people makes me feel comfortable and safer,” Horowitz responds. The Hillel building is a place for everyone to study during operating hours, regardless of their religious beliefs. Horowitz has met many of her friends from studying at Hillel, and during study breaks, she finds that “it’s really easy to strike a conversation with someone.”

However, Horowitz suggests trying to get a spot at Richter Library if you have to finish a 10-page paper due the next day because of how quiet the atmosphere is.

HOTSPOT miami’s ultimate

Newly built condominiums, trendy new bars, restaurants, and endless business opportunities characterize Brickell, Miami’s most up-and-coming neighborhood. Vibrant, eclectic, and immensely dynamic, Brickell attracts a diverse collection of residents from all over the globe with its fast-paced urban lifestyle.

SKYSCRAPERS TOWER over the entirety of Miami

Some of the tallest and most architecturally complex buildings are located in Brickell. In fact, all of the skyscrapers that call Miami home are located in Brickell

HISTORY OF MIAMI SKYSCRAPERS

The city of Miami, Florida has the third-tallest skyline in the United States, after New York City and Chicago, with 439 high-rises, over 100 of which stand taller than 400 feet, 70 being taller than 491 feet. Currently, the tallest building in Miami is the 85-story Panorama Tower, which rises 868 feet in Miami’s Brickell district. Miami’s Skyscraper boom began in 1912 with the six story Burdine’s Department Store, becoming the first skyscraper in Miami. The McAllister Hotel, located at Flagler Street and Biscayne Blvd, opened on New Years Eve in 1919, becoming the largest building in Miami, a title it held on to until 1925. Currently, the tallest completed structure is Panorama Tower in Brickell. It reached the height taller than any other building in Miami in August 2017. There are various construction projects in Brickell and the surrounding areas that promise to deliver buildings of similar heights. Photos by Sonali Thakkar, information courtesy of Wikipedia

ultimate entertainment

One of the main reasons to visit Brickell is to see the grand Brickell City Centre. Here, patrons can enjoy luxury shops and dining options. Perhaps the most inviting aspect of Brickell City Centre is the dine-in movie theater and the technologically d nced uttsh c olfn e erience.

Weekly entertainment at the hub of campus features unique artists

ESPOTLIGHT sunlight

very Tuesday afternoon, students gather at Lakeside Patio, in the heart of campus, to enjoy live music performed by their peers. Organized by Hurricane Productions (HP), this regular gathering adds a lively atmosphere to campus, filling the patio area with music and energy.

Whether they are relaxing by the pool, working at the patio tables or just passing by, students are guaranteed a show. Admired by many, especially Frost School of Music students, Patio Jams inspires the next generation of performers at the "U."

Devon Sellers, a freshman majoring in modern artist development and entrepreneurship, shares her thoughts on Patio Jams.

“I think it’s a great way for artists to get more comfortable performing as a band or solo artist and just put themselves out

there. As a singer/songwriter myself, I one hundred percent want to be a part of Patio Jams in the future. One day, I’ll be up on stage.”

Patio Jams allows student musicians to showcase their talent, gain performance experience and build confidence. New bands and solo artists of all music genres can apply to perform and showcase their talent in front of friends and fellow peers.

Frequent performers like Sunny Side Up Band have performed on the Lakeside Patio since their freshman year.

Sunny Side Up Band member Aron Stornaiuolo shares, “Patio Jams is really cool because it familiarizes the campus with you, even if they hear it for a second, every bit counts…and it helps take you outside of just Frost as well.”

The variety of bands and genres offer diverse performances, ensuring a musical experience tailored to every listener’s taste and preference.

Q: What do you like about performing?

A: What I love about performing is that I get to bring joy to everyone’s day with music. Nothing compares to the feeling of making people sing, dance or smile when they hear a song they like. I also love to represent the Latin music

community every time I perform! It is privilege for me to bring people together through music.

Q: How do you prepare for a performance at UM?

A: For my performances, I always make sure to have several rehearsals in advance to make sure that the day of the performance we all feel comfortable and are just ready to jam and have fun. I always try to prepare a set list with upbeat music that just brightens people’s day, and of course that includes some of my original music.

OUR NEW SPACES

The Knight Center for Music Innovation is one of several new facilities which aim to further and shape our education

From Oct. 29 to Nov. 5, in a week-long celebration, the Frost School of Music hosted the grand opening of its Knight Center for Music Innovation. That week, the building received the first of its guests to watch students, faculty and alumni perform, and guests witnessed alumni receive centennial medals in advance of the University’s centennial celebration. There, guests had the opportunity to experience some of the technologies incorporated in the building.

Inside, guests sat in the Robert and Judi Prokop Newman Recital Hall as they watched performances. The hall itself offers 200 seats facing a window with a view of Lake Osceola and

its acoustics were done by the world-renowned acoustician, Leo Beranek, who did the acoustics at the David Geffen Hall.

On Nov. 2, visitors in the Thomas D. Hormel Music

Innovation Stage watched and listened to an 18-minute video about the School of Music during the past 60 years, the video being projected onto the walls and accompanied by surround sound.

Shelton Berg, the Dean of the Frost School of Music, who watched the video that night, said, “It was really cool to watch and it started to show the kind of things we’ll be able to do inside there in the future.”

With these spaces and technologies, the Center also has recording studios, dressing rooms, control booths and green

A location on campus known for tradition and for hosting events

CFOR EVENTS a space

entrally located on campus, the Rock Plaza serves as the heart of community engagement, where students are encouraged to enjoy a variety of food trucks, lectures and retail promotions. Situated next to the iconic “U” statue, student organizations use the space to table and promote a surplus of clubs and charity events catering to every student’s interests and values. The “U” statue serves as a reminder of the university’s spirit and traditions, and the many rallies, speeches and protests that happen peacefully at the rock reflect a campus that respects

each other and shares a sense of pride in the UM community.

The Rock cultivates a sense of community by creating an atmosphere of excitement among students. Food trucks visit Rock Plaza daily, offering students a taste of Miami’s diverse culinary scene without stepping off campus.

Restaurants like Cold Stone Creamery, The Salty Donut, Bun Me, Cousins Maine Lobster and Coconut 305 provide students with a culinary journey across the country, including flavors from their hometowns. Beyond food trucks, the Red Cross blood drive truck

and Peace Corps promote their missions to busy student traffic at the Rock. Even retail promotions, like the Maybelline pop-up truck, engaged students with games, prizes, free facials and samples.

“Every day when I walk through the Rock to go to class, there’s either a food truck, students tabling, there’s clubs tabling, there’s the Maybelline truck. Every day is something different,” says freshman Abbey Rosenberg.

Whether students are making their way to class or out on a stroll with friends, the Rock Plaza always promises something new to anticipate.

ESSENTIALS our

All students have a bag that they take to class. Learn about some of the many essential items students bring with them to get through the days

MY BAG

senior jaida headly

Jaida Headly is a senior with a major in public relations and music industries. Her creative nature and charismatic energy are reflected by the inspired contents in her bag. Slung over Headly’s shoulder is the chic Telfar bag in chocolate, protecting her Mac laptop in a clear shell, adorned with stickers of legendary artists such as Lauryn Hill and Sade.

Next is a hard drive, in a radiant orange case, protecting her valuable work, “As a video editor, I have lots of editing stuff to store.” Standing out even next to the neon color is a book, If I Survive You, by Jonathan Escoffery. Headly shares that the author held a keynote on campus just this February.

She moves on to pull out a brown claw clip, Nyx lip liner and the butter gloss in the fan-favorite shade Praline. Finally, is a small black umbrella, customary to any seasoned UM student and the perfect cherry on top of Jaida’s fashionable bag and its unique contents.

MY BAG

sophomore diego chang

Diego Chang, an art history major, welcomes us into his bag, giving us an exclusive look at how academia and artistry come together for this second-semester sophomore.

Containing the day-to-day artifacts of Chang’s life is a black Swiss backpack, the main compartment containing a silver Mac laptop, and three notebooks, “even though I’m taking 18 credits,” he admits sheepishly. Next, he pulls out his gym clothes for the day, as a commuter he keeps them on hand for his visits to the Wellness Center.

From a side pocket, he pulls out a baseball, shifting it around in his hands with a nostalgic but fond look on his face. “It’s a foul ball I caught at a baseball game here on campus and ever since I’ve just kept it in my bag,” like a good luck charm of sorts.

As Chang reaches into the bottom of his bag revealing a box of Valentine’s Day chocolates, his eyes light up and a smile forms, “We all need sweets, right?”

‘Cane families fly to Miami from across the world to see their students at UM

PREUNION family

resident Julio Frank once said, “We are one family. We are one "U.” Family Weekend is a time for the entirety of the ‘Canes family to reunite and spend a weekend of celebration together.

Jam-packed with opportunities to explore the campus, the university ensured that there was something for every family. Parents were encouraged to show off their ‘Cane spirit at Friday’s pep rally, which held the first-ever live broadcast of the ACC P.M. show. In addition, parents and siblings could enjoy photo booths, carnival games, food trucks, and mechanical rides at the carnival-themed block party. By showcasing the university’s lively atmosphere, parents could get a taste of what campus life is like for students.

“Going to school far away from my parents has been a hard transition. So, it was really nice to see my mom for the first time since she moved me in, and it meant a lot to be able to spend the weekend with her and just show her around.”

-BELLA LARCON

“There was a lot of excitement to have the families there, and it was well organized.There seemed to be a lot of planning to make it easy for families to get a variety of experiences, whether it was getting a peek into the academics or the social life,” says parent Michelle LaWare. For many first-year students, Family Weekend was the first time they have seen their families.

To commemorate their reunion, many families chose to cheer on the football team at Hard Rock Stadium as the Hurricanes faced Georgia Tech. What ended as a loss for the football team was viewed as a win by many families who were able to spend quality time with their students and learn what it truly means to be a ‘Cane.

fall theater buzzes with talent, bringing classics to life right on campus

This fall, a plethora of genres have been displayed on stage ranging from romantic comedy to the inside scope of the American Dream. The shows were staffed and directed by Canes in the theater department.

The adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest kicked off the theater department’s fall season on Oct. 6. Wilde’s play follows two protagonists, Jack and Algie, who have deduced a plan of escape from Victorian London through living double lives.

Toward the end of October, Canestage presented the Rocky Horror Picture Show, a musical film that has been dubbed a cold classic for the last 49 years combining comedy, horror and sci-fi. The show was performed at the Cosford Cinema. Actors who performed within the show acted as shadowcast, imitating the musical in front of the screen and engaging with the audience during the performance. Rocky Horror follows the story of a newly-engaged couple who have to stay at the bizarre residence of Dr. Frank-N-Furter due to a storm.

The Jerry Herman Ring Theatre also introduced the Threepenny Opera, a satirical musical theater piece tackling capitalism as adapted and translated by British-Irish playwright Simon Stephans.

The final theater performance, A Lie of the Mind, showcased at RedRoad Black Box Theatre was a story alternating between two families in Montana and California who suffered from jealousy, violence and haunted pasts, distorting their lives fueled by marriage.

PLAYLIST DISCOVER A

Discover the most popular songs of the year, each arranged into a playlist divided by music genre

The increased use of personalized playlists and noisecancelling headphones in recent years begs the question, “What is everyone listening to?” Are there hidden trends and shared tastes that unite the student body?

According to a survey, the top songs of 2023 among students included SZA’s “Kill Bill” and “Snooze” and various songs from the “GUTS” album by Olivia Rodrigo. Runner-ups included songs from Bad Bunny’s “Un Verano Sin Ti”, Drake’s “For All The Dogs” and Tate McRae’s “THINK LATER.”

Junior Sophie Wong highlights “Pretty isn’t Pretty” by Olivia Rodrigo, one of her top songs of the year, on its relatability “as a 20 year old girl in this day and age.” Specifically, she quotes the lines, “There’s always something in the mirror that I think looks wrong. When pretty isn’t pretty enough... I could change up my body and change up my face. I could try every lipstick in every shade. But I’d always feel the same. ‘Cause pretty isn’t pretty enough.”

As these top songs suggest, the most popular music genre was pop, followed by R&B, hip-hop, and pop rock. Nevertheless, students claimed that they explored more genres and artists mainly due to discovering new music

Whether they stay on campus or commute to the local community, students take advantage of the fall festivities

AON CAMPUSspooky season

s custom to UM student party culture, Halloween festivities begin the week before the actual day. If a Miami student happened to check their Snapchat map anytime from October 26-31, they’d find a majority of the student body driving down to Key West, Fla., and many of them were spotted at Fantasy Fest on Duval St.

Sophomore Claydon Dunn spent the holiday dressed as an inmate with his fraternity brothers of Aephi in Key West.

The drive there went by quickly, “...but the drive back felt insanely long,” Dunn commented. For Dunn, Halloween in Key West is an unforgettable experience, “...and it definitely lived up to the expectations - it was awesome.” With the influx of students down by the Keys at

this time of year, “...everywhere you look was someone you know."

Most freshmen at UM stay local for Halloween and wait until their sophomore year to make the drive to Key West. Undecided business major and freshman Trinity Vodovoz from Medford, New Jersey spent her Halloweek in Brickell with friends Hayley Denne and Bella Tammone.

“We went to a place where there was a mix of a lot of people, not just UM students,” Vodovoz said.

Back home, Vodovoz is used to spending the holiday surrounded by people she’s friendly with, and normally, the weather in Jersey is freezing. “I honestly would have had more fun going to a haunted house,” Vodovoz answers.

GET IT STARTED

Students, alumni, parents, fans, and friends eagerly arrive to campus from across the globe

Homecoming is a truly special time where students, faculty, and alumni gather to celebrate our university.

The Opening Ceremony took place at Lakeside Patio on the Monday of homecoming week. This event kicked off the festivities with inflatables, food, giveaways, and activities. Students were able to take a break from academics to enjoy some fun in the sun and get in the homecoming spirit.

Aris Montero, a junior majoring in creative advertising and communication studies and Cochair for the Alma Matter Committee stated, “I think homecoming is a great tradition because it really solidifies the UM community.”

This year’s theme “Leave your Legacy” truly showed that the UM community is strong and tight-knit. The theme focused on

the importance of giving back, helping others, and leaving your mark on UM. It empowered students, faculty, and staff to think about how they can be the best version of themselves and really leave an impact for generations to come.

Montero explained, “I think this year’s theme is one of my favorites because it is what I consider to be the epitome of student life on campus. There are so many student leaders that I met and have worked with that have definitely left an impact on UM and the students within it.”

The homecoming opening ceremony introduced the week of homecoming festivities, all within the them of “Leave your Legacy.” It was a way for students to preview the activities to come and get in the homecoming spirit.

hoco festivities

After creating a lot of anticipation surrounding the theme of Homecoming this fall, the Homecoming Committee announced it to students during a fun-filled pep-rally at the Lakeside Patio.

In attendance at the pep-rally was the Frost Band of the Hour who played exciting music for students, as well as the alma mater. Also in attendance were the Hurricanettes and Sunsations, who filled the patio with stellar dance moves.

The Homecoming Committee released various clues that would hint toward the theme of Homecoming. Among the most popular teaser was a video that included the words “game over.” Students speculated that the theme would be video game related.

The Homecoming theme was revealed to be “Leave Your Legacy,” which was created to honor the hero in all of us.

THE WEEK cheer through

One of the main activities of homecoming week is the Organized Cheer competition. Each year, student organizations form teams of students to compete in the competition. The students create a short skit to be performed at Lakeside Patio, fitting within the homecoming theme. With this year’s them “Leave your Legacy,” many of the skits featured ideas relating to helping others and leaving a lasting impact on the community.

Albertie Regalado, a junior majoring in biochemistry and nutrition and psychology stated, “I participated with the Association of Commuter Students (ACS) and our theme was Guardians of Traditions. It was a spin off of Guardians of the Galaxy but with the Leave your Legacy theme.”

Students spend countless hours brainstorming, designing and rehearsing for the performances. This allows students an opportunity to meet new people and get to know each other

Various organizations compete with each other through choreographed and synchronized dance routines at the Patio

while working towards a common goal, building the sense of connection within the student organizations.

Regalado explains, “My favorite part about Ocheer was the bonds made throughout all of our practices. You go through so much during the semester to get your lines and moves right that it builds a tight connecting with your team. It’s really interesting the idea of dancing and acting all out with people that you didn’t know a couple of months prior, but it really shows how quickly this competition event brings people from the UM community together.”

The sense of community created by the OCheer event definitely holds up this year’s them of “Leave your Legacy.” Students’ performances were evaluated by the judging committee, and points added to each team to go towards the final tally of homecoming points. The friendly competition created new friendships while strengthening existing ones.

Homecoming brings home a plethora of traditions cherished by returning ‘Canes and current students alike. To keep the ongoing spirit alive, students competed in the annual Royalty Pageant, showcasing their talents to the audience and aiming for the crown. Winners were able to earn points for the organization they are part of on campus.

As the candidates strutted across the stage, students and staff cheered in support of the participants. Posters and instruments filled the room, making noise to show excitement for their fellow peers. Candidates were filled with pride, spirit, and encouragement throughout the entirety of the competition.

Twelve participants competed on stage. Talents ranged from live performances of singing to acrobatic routines, from playing the guitar to skits.

Making the stage their own, each candidate was able to not only showcase their talent, but also bring all students together to raise the overall spirit on campus leading up to the Homecoming game at the end of the week.

For many, the Royalty Pageant was a first time look into the bonds that were strengthened within these organizations and the enthusiasm uplifted by the events overseen by the Homecoming Executive Committee.

Of the twelve candidates, four were crowned Homecoming King, Queen, Prince, and Princess. Royalty was announced at the end of the ceremony, crowning Student Government President Niles Niseem Boyd as Homecoming King and senior Adri Ramirez, representing the Federacion Estudiantes Cubanos, as Homecoming Queen.

FONDEST memories

As Homecoming comes to a close, the entire community comes together to celebrate their Hurricane culture

what’s on the WATCHLIST?

iami and the world has been hit with the “Barbenheimer” craze this movie season. The term, coined by Matt Neglia, explains the act of watching “Barbie” and immediately watching “Oppenheimer” after in the same sitting. Attendees would get all dressed up in pink for “Barbie’’ and change into mid-century throwback boots and suspenders to watch “Oppenheimer.”

Freshman Elle Manion feels the Barbie movie speaks volumes by “truthfully conveying the struggles of womanhood and makes us all reflect on bringing back the joys of our youth in order to cope with it all.”

The runner ups in no specific order were “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,” “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” and “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.”

Taylor Swift fan Ellis Kennedy, class of ’27 screened the film at the AMC Sunset Place 24 theater on Sunset Drive here in Miami. Like “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer,” many of the “audience members wore Taylor’s merchandise, and also participated in the fan culture, like friendship bracelets and Taylor’s lyrics written on their arms,” Kennedy shared. The movie enables fans that are unable to attend the concert to have The Eras Tour experience.

Students and faculty have the opportunity to watch many of the blockbuster films released over the summer on campus for free at the Cosford Cinema on Wednesday and Saturday nights at 9 p.m. For freshman Ava Cherniss “going to Cosford every week has been a great routine to connect with fellow ’Canes and keep up with the most recent and popular movies.”

“The rest of my time was generally spent going to the gym, watching Netflix and enjoying time at home” Butler explained. However, he was glad to return to the warm Miami weather on campus since temperatures were around -5 degrees with wind chills.

The weekly farmers market on campus offers students natural and healthy options

Miami is a hub of diversity, and the restaurant scene reflects this blend of unique cultures. Bringing fresh, local items to the front doors of campus, students can explore all that the Miami food scene has to offer without stepping foot off campus grounds.

take a break from school and enjoy a delicious meal with their friends. The bustling atmosphere, combined with the sunshine, makes for a perfect scene.

Students and university employees typically allot 15 - 30 minutes to visit the market, share a meal with friends or enjoy strolling around the area.

Every Wednesday, a plethora of vendors set up stands between the Richter Library and the Shalala Student Center from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. Offering gyro, hibachi, acai bowls, avocado toast and fresh fruit, students have the opportunity to explore fresh and authentic cuisine every week.

“I am very sick of dining hall food, so having this once-a-week option of all these different restaurants and stores coming to campus is just really easy. And it’s nice to treat myself. It definitely helps me get through the week,” says freshman Abbey Rosenberg. Between classes, the market is the perfect place for students to

“I always go with my friends, and we just waste our money together and get some yummy food. It’s like a whole event trying new foods every week and getting to know each other more while spending time with friends outside of class,” says freshman Mira Sayegh.

The Wednesday market is more than just a place to buy fresh produce; it’s a social hub where the university can strengthen its bonds through culinary experiences. It reflects the university’s commitment to diversity and inclusion, a place where all students are welcome to try new vendors weekly alongside their friends and peers.

CELEBRATING

black culture

Celebrating black culture at the university in many different ways, drawing the community togethe

At a campus with such a rich and diverse student body, the heartbeat of Black culture pulses throughout campus, a testament to resilience and pride. With the helping hand of student organizations and impactful events, the "U" fosters a space for the celebration of the legacy and contributions of the community. The first is the United Black Students who realize the importance of discussing the impact of black culture. Co-president of the group, Alex Miller, described “Black Students at the "U," an event hosted by Panhellenic Association and quite a few groups, which included a panel discussion among black leaders and an open forum transparently discussing ways to address campus leadership to improve campus life for the black community.

UBS holds quite a few events, their biggest this year being the inaugural “Canes Black History Film Festival”, held in conjunction with the School of Communications and the UTrailblazers, a tribute of the first Black grads at UM to recognize the alumni of the Black diaspora. Applications for the festival were open to black creatives to submit short films based on current events, Black student experiences or content about the Trailblazers’ experience.

The group with the highest-rated film was awarded a cash prize as well as a member of the winning group to fly out for the ‘Canes Los Angeles Film Showcase this May. “It was awesome to be there,” said Miller, witnessing such passion, community and cultural pride.

Q&A

junior isabella rodriquez

Q: How long have you been involved in the FEC organization?

A: I’ve been involved in FEC since my freshman year. I was also the VP my sophomore year.

Q: What impact do you hope FEC has on the campus as a whole?

A: I hope FEC continues to be a welcoming environment for Cuban and non-Cuban students alike. Miami is such a diverse city and I don’t think the University of Miami always demonstrates that, so it’s been amazing for me to have a space to explore my culture more and to also educate others on the Cuban culture.

Q: Why is it important to spread awareness on Hispanic culture on campus?

A: In general, I believe it’s important to listen and understand different

perspectives and cultures. I think it makes us better people and a more understanding society. Therefore, spreading awareness on Hispanic culture on campus is so important because it allows everyone to learn about the Hispanic perspective and culture. Also, the greater Miami area is re tl in uenced is nic culture and Hispanic people, and, in my opinion, it’s important to be aware of where you come from.

Q: What do you hope to accomplish as President next year?

A: I hope to have a successful Homecoming run as well as a successful Week of Cuban Culture. Week of Cuban Culture is so important and so special to me as well, so ensuring that we have a good number of fun and educational events is key to making it a success.

TCelebrating Asian culture with many vibrant festivities happening on campus

he Asian cultural clubs on campus hold many different events throughout the year. The Asian American Student Association (AASA) puts on two big events each year: the Lantern Festival in the fall and the Lunar New Year in the spring. Attracting hundreds of students, these events are put together in collaboration with many other Asian cultural clubs, such as the Chinese Student Association (CSSA), the Filipino Student Association (FSA), the Muslim Students of Miami (MSU), and more. At these events, students are able to interact with the different club tables and learn more about each of them.

“My favorite part about AASA is having a community that I know will always support me. Being social chair has allowed me to organize events and socials that give other students the same opportunity to find their people at UM,” says freshman Narisha Nuchanart, social chair for the Asian American Student Association.

Not only are there student associations, but there are also different clubs that students can join if they are interested in Asian culture. For those who have a love for anime, they can join the anime club and meet other students with the same interest. LOCKED, the K-pop dance team on campus, is open to anyone who is interested and has a love for K-pop and dance. From holding a showcase each semester to performing at different school events, LOCKED is one way that students can immerse themselves in the Asian culture on campus.

“Being in LOCKED has been a good experience because I love the community and all the people that I have met. We all have a love for the same interests, and I was able to meet so many new people and make new friends. As a freshman, LOCKED has helped me fit into the school as well,” says freshman Lexie Spencer.

A special week of events takes place to honor international Hurricanes

Founded in 1967, the Council of International Students and Organizations, COISO, works to provide social and cultural activities for all students on campus. International week remains one of COISO’s largest events, and each night of the week at Lakeside Patio, one part of the world is recognized and celebrated through food, music and games. The purpose of the event is to share with the student body the traditions and cultures from around the world.

International week highlighted Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Europe, Africa and Asia. Over 150 people attended

WORLD across the

each night of the week.

On Latin American night, Canes participated in a salsa and bachata workshop taught by UFuerza, the Latin dance club on campus. On Middle Eastern and European Night, students had the opportunity to write their name in Arabic and watch belly dancing.

Freshman psychology major Tia Martika was chair for Africa Night and planned all the activities, food and music for the night.

“I have been a part of COISO since I came to UM. I really wanted to pull my weight and help out. I definitely wanted to be a part of it.”

FOREVER friends

Some opt to bring pets with them to college and learn valuable lessons

Having a pet in college is like having “a little permanent best friend” and “something to look forward to” after a long day, says Kylee Krivijanski, a kitten owner and senior studying biochemistry. She adds that this commitment, “adds on extra responsibility to your day.”

While caring for just oneself in college can be daunting for some, caring for another living creature can seem like a lot, but for Krivijanski, her cat “helps me stay on top of everything.” “It’s made me more responsible and better with managing my time.” She does this by scheduling her day around going home to check on her kitten. Krivijanski pointed out that having a pet also helped her mentally by forcing her to “get up and get moving,” even when she’s not in the mood or after a long day.

“Having a pet consumes a little more of your free time and requires more responsibility overall, but I think the positive impact on my mental health outweighs any added stressors,” says Remi Turner, a junior studying creative writing with a pet chinchilla.

While this added responsibility may seem overwhelming at such a busy time in our lives, taking on a pet in college allows students to work on fundamental “skills for being able to provide for something other than yourself,” states Turner. Therefore, as you teach your pets, they may teach you a lesson or two in return.

If you decide to embark on this path, research and prepare to “know what you’re getting yourself into. Don’t take on the responsibility of a pet if you can’t treat it with love and respect,” Turner concluded.

IN BLOOM memories

From sandy shores to city lights, new things await

Q: Where did you go for spring break and why?

A: During spring break I went to New York City for the College Media Association Convention to represent the Ibis Yearbook.

Q: What did you do on the trip?

Q: What was your favorite part of the trip?

A: My favorite part about the trip was going to explore during free time, especially when I got to see the original Vincent van Gogh piece, The Starry Night, in the Museum of Modern Art

Q: How did the trip impact you?

A: Going on the trip helped me gain more knowledge and communication skills throughout the CMA Convention while simultaneously satisfying my love for travel and gettitng to see new places and try new things.

DragOut is an event put on each spring semester which gives students an opportunity to showcase their talent while participating in drag performance. Students are encouraged to develop their own drag routines to compete for the winning title. A panel of judges including staff from the LGBTQ Center, professors, and students critique each performance and award the grand title to one student performer. The winner was David Caldarella, a senior who also won DragOut in 2022.

DragOut also features professional drag performers, giving students an opportunity to view professional drag performance on campus. Malaysia Babydoll Foxx, a competitor on season 15 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, was one of the professionals seen at

this year’s DragOut.

Beyond cultivating an appreciation for the art of drag performance, DragOut serves the larger purpose of providing a space for LGBTQ+ expression and community. Juliette Shenassa, Secretary of SpectrUM, explains how DragOut has contributed to the LGBTQ+ community on campus.

“To me, it’s crucial that DragOut lives on at UM, especially considering the recent legislation in Florida targeting the LGBTQ+ community. DragOut continues to be an important event highlighting the passion and pride of the LGBTQ+ community on UM’s campus and beyond,” says Shenassa.

DragOut has become a tradition at The "U" and has continued to develop each year. The SpectrUM Executive Board and a

“It is a rewarding experience to work with SpectrUM and help our student performers build their drag persona and performances. Drag helps many of us explore different parts of our identities.”

Q: What is your height?

A: 6’4”

Q: Where is your hometown?

A: Charlotte, North Carolina

Q: What are your majors and minors?

A: My major is marine biology & ecology and my minors are communications and criminology.

Q: How long have you been Sebastian?

A: I have been a Sebastian since September of my sophomore year, so going on almost 3 years.

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

A: It was on a whim, to be completely honest. I was in my Lakeside Village housing and I got the last call email for Sebastian tryouts. I said, “Well that sounds fun. Why don’t I go try this out.” I tried out, and evidently it went pretty well.

Q: What is the tryout process like?

A: Most of the process is a secret, so I can’t share too much. However, I will say that it involves a lot of creativity. You really have to embody the character. You have to be able to put on the mask and really embody his character and show to the panel that is judging your performance that you can be Sebastian. It is a lot of fun.

Q: What is it like underneath the mask?

A: It’s a little warm. There’s all these rumors that there are fans or ice packs in the suit but its just you and Sebastian. The costume allows for a big range of motion which lets you do a lot of awesome tricks and stunts. You can also interact with fans and it is not awkward.

Q: What is your favorite event you’ve attended?

A: The Final Four. To be on the court for our basketball run last year was absolutely the sweetest thing on the planet. Besides that, we love to do weddings. We get hired for so many weddings, you wouldn’t even believe it. uest e e out to innesot or eddin .

Q: What have you gained from this experience?

A: I’ve learned a lot about non verbal communication. There is so much beyond words. My public speaking confdence h s one u ec use c n no e ress myself through body language. I’m much better at reading people.

FIBER TESTING

“As a senior in the University of Miami College of Engineering, Neyton Baltodano Jr. is experimenting with and testing the strength of short carbon fibers, combining them with an epoxy resin and curing them in a process that creates an exceptionally strong carbon-reinforced material.

One goal is to 3D-print such materials and incorporate them into aircraft wings and other parts. By applying a voltage to the fibers, aircraft can be deiced in a much more seamless process than the traditional method of applying chemicals to the surface of aircraft to remove snow, ice, or frost, according to Baltodano, an aerospace engineering major who focuses on materials engineering.”

SMART BALLOONS SATELLITES

“Aerosol scientists at the University of Miami College of Engineering took their research to the sky beginning Wednesday in a series of experiments to measure particles over the McArthur Engineering Building. To go beyond conventional ground-level assessments, two aerosol instruments were lifted by Alta Systems’ 12-by-5-foot smart balloon to collect aerosol data at 200 feet of elevation. Because aerosols influence air quality, climate, weather patterns, and other atmospheric processes, the measurement at high altitude will provide new insight into how aerosols impact human health and climate change. Assistant professor Yang Wang and doctoral student Shruti Choudhary are leading the effort.”

“Julius Dewald’s strategy to combat some of the world’s most intractable problems starts with a bird’s-eye view more than 400 miles above the planet.

From that lofty vantage point, made possible by the power of Earth-observing satellites, the University of Miami public health scientist has mapped and predicted areas in the west African nation of Mali where malaria-carrying mosquitoes might spread, giving government officials there a head start on vector-control efforts.

But it is Dewald’s research using satellite images to fight the effects of anthropogenic climate change that holds the greatest potential, he believes.

From sub-Saharan Africa to South Florida, he has combined such images with data from geographic information systems (GIS) to determine how slash-and-burn practices in Zambia have affected the landscape and environment inside and outside.”

THE FUTURE constructing

Since its approval by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) in the 1974/75 academic year, the School of Architecture has been authorized to offer the Bachelor of Architecture Degree, a five-year pre-professional program. As the accreditation cycle recurs, the School of Architecture once more embarks on the journey of reaccreditation to continue delivering this program to its students. This process is not merely administrative but holds significant implications for the school and its student body.

NAAB accreditation is pivotal in ensuring the quality of architectural education provided, guaranteeing that graduating students possess a well-rounded understanding of architecture, thus impacting their future

careers and the profession at large.

With a mission statement of preparing students for professional leadership and lifelong learning in architecture, U-SoA instills important knowledge and values in its students so they can flourish in the field after graduation. Third-year student Emery Medlock feels that U-SoA has set her up well for success.

“I’ve learned so much more in the past three years than I ever expected to,” said Medlock. “I really enjoy UM’s architecture program because the school focuses both on creative concepts and the technical side of things that makes our designs stable in real life. Plus, the professors have so much experience in the field and really want you to learn and succeed.”

Medlock shared she chose to pursue

architecture due to its creative yet practical nature.

“I’ve always been interested in art since I was a kid and I tried to take as many art-related classes as possible in grade school,” said Medlock. “One design class I took in high school took us on a field trip to the Hall Arts Hotel in Dallas and we got to speak to some of the architects that contributed to it, and hearing them talk about their passion for design made me realize architecture would be a great avenue to apply my creativity.”

U-SoA is committed to providing students like Medlock an innovative environment in which they can pursue their creative passions, while also ensuring students receive the technical training they need to be successful in the

Because it is the largest academic school on campus, students can take a variety of courses

With 40 majors and 46 minors, the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) is the largest among the university’s 11 schools and colleges. Also having the largest student population, CAS offers programs at the undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral levels. For each of these programs, the College’s departments have assembled experienced professionals from a wide variety of fields to teach its students.

Martin Nesvig, a history professor, is among 188 people to receive a 2024 fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. Selected out a pool of 3,000 applicants, Nesvig will receive the funds to work on the second installment of a trilogy that focuses on the influence of indigenous cultures in colonial Mexico.

Describing her experience with professors in the Art and Art History department, senior Mia Rivas said, “The faculty… know how to balance learning the fundamentals while challenging students in creative ways. I’ve had the pleasure of taking classes with several wonderful people, such as Professor Lenny Moreno for graphic design and Professor Lani Shapton for silk-screening, who make themselves available to provide students with the stepping stones they need to succeed in their artistic fields. I’ve been lucky enough to get my work accepted in undergraduate art exhibitions on campus, and it’s thanks to the knowledge and support I

n the College of Arts and Sciences, there are 23 STEM-related majors and minors including biology, computer science, chemistry, and psychology. Offering several tracks in each program, CAS and its departments provide students with a wide range of options for concentrations. With this, students have the opportunity to connect with and work alongside professionals for research, fellowships and internships.

One of these opportunities was made available to students when in-house researchers who were in partnership with professors at the University of Southern California and the University of California, Los Angeles won a $750,000 grant from the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI). The grant will fund a three year project in which professors and graduate students in the CAS’ psychology and physics departments will research autism detection in children 3-5.

Describing her experience as a microbiology and immunology major, freshman Tanner Sobecki-McMullen said, “I have learned so much about the microbiome and all the tiny beings unseeable to the naked eye… My professors have challenged me to ask questions and think about the material instead of just memorizing information. I am so grateful for all of the support I have gotten from this school and how they continue to push me to be the best student I can be.”

INNOVATION communication and

Various organizations at the School of Communication have a successful awards season and are recognized

Unlike at other universities, students obtaining a degree from UM’s School of Communication receive a bachelors of science degree, as opposed to a bachelors of arts, because its courses take an analytical and theoretical approach to the field. Within the School of Communication (SoC) there are five departments: Interactive Media, Journalism and Media Management, Strategic Communication, Cinematic Arts and Communication Studies, each with its own major and minor tracks, as well as plenty of opportunities for hands-on experience.

Freshman broadcast journalism major Jacob Lyons has gotten very involved in multiple UMTV programs, including SportsDesk and Off The Wire, since his arrival at UM in the fall. According to Lyons, the broadcasting professors, especially Professor Edward Julbe, have been very helpful and eager to teach.

“Professor Julbe, the faculty advisor for the show, has taught me a lot. In the spring, I took his JMM 245 class as well as worked with him on how to be a Technical Director,” Lyons said.

The School of Communication has enabled Lyons to receive hands-on experience through offering programs such as UMTV that allow students to practice necessary skills for their field before they even graduate.

Junior media management major Eli Weiss has felt very supported by his professors and advisors over his past two years at UM.

“Having a one-on-one connection with Dean Herrera is really one of the best things I’ve ever had. He’s an advocate for students and cares so much about our success,” Weiss said.

Outside of the classroom, Weiss is a part of the UMTV community supervised by Professor Ben Ezzy.

“From behind-the-scenes to the on-air, you’re gaining so much valuable experience that I don’t think any other school really offers,” Weiss said.

UMTV is one of 5 student organizations within the SoC to win student media awards this year. At the College Television Awards in April, NewsVision scored first place in the news category and SportsDesks placed first in the sports category, proving that the hard work of its students does not go unnoticed.

Among other student media organizations to win very prestigious awards this year were the debate team, Distraction Magazine, The Miami Hurricane newspaper, last year’s Ibis Yearbook, UMTV PrimeTime, and the forensics team.

dynamic DEVELOPMENT

Made up of three overarching departments: Educational and Psychological Studies, Kinesiology and Sport Sciences, and Teaching and Learning, the School of Education and Human Development encompasses a wide variety of studies. Education and Psychological Studies (EPS) is based on emotional health and psychological factors, Kinesiology and Sport Sciences (KIN) advances physical wellness, fitness, and sport, and Teaching and Learning (TAL), encourages educational and intellect development. The school aims to advance all of these sectors simultaneously in various multicultural communities to prepare the next generation of teachers.

Originating in 1926, the School of Education is approaching its hundredth year of presence, influence and change at the University of Miami. With an 8 to 1 student-to-faculty ratio, over 850 enrolled students, and 44 program options, the School of Education & Human Development provides a diverse, enriching experience according to the official website.

Annie Codega, a junior majoring in elementary education, mentions that the teachers are her “favorite teachers by far,” because she feels it’s “easier to learn when you’re learning from literally a teacher teaching you how to teach.”

Codega describes the school as “collaborative,” facilitated through

Small class sizes and one-on-one attention allow students to connect with their professors better

“teamwork.” With many in-class discussions and projects, students can get “more out of what I’m learning rather than just taking lecture notes and going to take a test.”

The way students learn in the School of Education & Human Development is like no other according to Codega. Some classes even require volunteer hours, truly immersing its students in the field, allowing students to gain “more work experience” she adds.

Because of its smaller size, a little community has formed on campus, allowing students to have classes with “similar faces” and personal relationships with advisors, mentions Codega.

Opportunities like new courses and study abroad semesters give students the chance to grow together

Founded in 1947, the College of Engineering (CoE) has focused on preparing students with different skills scientifically and technically while having an ethical and moral grounding. Students that are a part of the College of Engineering can expect to learn how to deal with major issues in society and utilize technology for humankind’s benefit.

The College of Engineering is divided into six different departments: Biomedical Engineering, Chemical, Environmental and Materials Engineering, Civil and Architectural Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Industrial and Systems Engineering, and Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. The different programs allow students to deepen their understanding and learn the different skills needed to solve the global challenges that the world faces.

“Being a student in the College of Engineering has taught me many things. But I would say the most important thing is not just the knowledge that I learned, but the passion that the students and faculty both had that I witnessed that still serves as good guidance for what I want to do in future work,” said alumni Joon Jung.

This year, a new study abroad program for engineering undergraduate students was released. Last summer marked the first time a CoE course was offered overseas. This new study abroad program allows students to learn more about cellular engineering. The course will take students to the Center for iPS Cell Research and Application at Kyoto University to learn more about harvesting biological stem cells for research.

law PERSPECTIVE

As a Miami Law student, future attorneys are learning at the hub of innovation

With 18 different areas of study, the School of Law allows students to specify their education in a specific area of study that ranges from sports and entertainment law to environmental law. The School of Law ranks highly, specifically in tax law, and students can also experience hands-on training through the clinical program the school has to offer.

While pursuing a J.D., students can also look into the different joint degrees that the university has to offer. The law school also allows students to continue their education overseas and has over 25 different options that expand over 13 countries to learn more about foreign laws across the world. 4,194 applications were sent in for the entering J.D. class of 2023, and 355 students were enrolled. Students represent over 34 states, as well as Washington D.C., and 24 different

countries. There are over 50 different law student organizations that students can join, along with five bar-related organizations.

More than 20,000 alumni are graduates of Miami Law and are represented in all 50 states, Washington D.C. and 85 different countries. The School of Law is also placed in the top 50 for graduates placed in the coun try’s largest 100 law firms, as well as eighth of all U.S. law schools for alumni. Miami Law also has the most graduates, leading the top 30 firms in the U.S., second only to Harvard Law School.

Located in Miami, the School of Law’s location allows students to see an international perspective and be able to take advantage of the different corporations that are located in the city.

he Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science (RSMAS) has grown into one of the world’s leading academic oceanographic and atmospheric research institutions through infrastructure advancements, including the addition of a helicopter observation platform, scientific scuba-diving training center and the acquisition of research space in the Florida Keys. Located on Key Biscayne at Virginia Key Beach Park, the school continues to publish groundbreaking studies from Miami’s shores. Committed to training the next generation of scientists, RSMAS allows students to gain hands-on experiences and develop discoveries to share with the national scientific community, policymakers and the public.

“The first semester of marine science, we were able to go out into the ocean with our professor and do a snorkeling trip and look at all the fish that we learned in fish ID. We also got to measure currents right on the docks because of where the school is situated. So, right off the bat, there’s opportunities for you to interact,” said Breanna Cea, a freshman majoring in marine affairs.

In addition to experiential learning, the Outreach Program at RSMAS aims to connect University students and professors with South Florida’s communities through unique opportunities to assist faculty with scientific proposals. Rescue a Reef is one of these programs, developed in 2015, to raise public awareness and action on coral conservation through educational and experiential activities. Offering citizen science field expeditions, any certified scuba diver can work alongside UM coral researchers to plant new corals onto wild reefs, helping to restore and save Florida’s delicate ecosystems.

“We’re transparent in the fact that we believe the future of coral reefs will largely be determined by society, so we need to engage community members, stakeholders, policymakers, and we feel the best way to do that is through a community-based program like Rescue Reef,” said Senior Research Associate Dalton Hesley.

The coral restoration lab at RSMAS offers diverse opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students, ranging from coral husbandry and monitoring activities to more extensive outreach campaigns. The Rescue a Reef program also provides paid fellowship positions for passionate students, aiming to train the next generation of “well-rounded, highly trained coral scientists capable of continuing into graduate school or the workforce.”

The Rosenstiel School’s location allows students to explore and study biodiverse ecosystems, such as wetlands and coral reefs unique to Florida’s coast. “I think our area, being in a subtropical zone, sets us up to not only have exceptional education but also gain hands-on experience with the education we’re getting,” said Breanna Cea.

DOCTORS of tomorrow

Since 1952, when it had an inaugural class of four faculty and 28 students, the Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine (MSM) has grown, now having over 1,700 faculty and a graduating class of more than 200 people on average annually.

The MSM stands as the top recipient of federal research grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) among Florida’s medical schools, receiving $172.4 million in 2023. Seven of its programs rank among the top 25 recipients of NIH funding in the country.

The University of Miami Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI), one of the MSM’s institutes, received its third Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) grant from the NIH. The

$28 million grant will be used in support of the institute’s work in clinical and translational science.

The MSM and its Miami Transplant Institute (MTI) was selected to receive a $2.7 million grant from the NIH to fund a study on early liver transplantation in alcohol-associated liver disease. The study will be conducted over seven years, in collaboration with several other universities.

In April, a ceremony was held at the site of UHealth’s SoLé Mia facility in North Miami to celebrate its structural completion. The center, which is 363,000 square feet and UHealth’s largest ambulatory facility, will offer services in oncology, dermatology, endocrinology, neurology, and more.

The School of Nursing and Health Studies is celebrating 75 years of preparing students for the medical field

IHEALTHpioneers of

n the 2024 U.S. News & World Report on the best nursing schools, the School of Nursing and Health Studies (SONHS) ranks #31 for its BSN program, #27 for its MSN program and #31 for it's DNP program.

Established in 1948, UM’s nursing program has been a pioneering force in the healthcare industry, being the first collegiate nursing program in South Florida. Separated from the College of Arts and Sciences to form its own school in 1968, SONHS has contributed to the education and training of over 10,000 individuals. SONHS offers five bachelor’s programs, three master’s programs, several post-master’s certificate programs, and seven doctoral programs.

This year, the SONHS received its largest grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Utilized by a team of researchers from the SONHS and the Miller School of Medicine (MSM), the $23.57 million grant will be used to study the effects of the environment on child health. The team, led by Hudson Santos, the vice dean of research affairs at the SONHS, and Michael Paidas, a professor at the MSM, will work as part of the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program.

Describing his experience in completing a BSN, senior Mark Fernandez said, “Nursing school has proved to be one of the most challenging things I’ve done in my life [but] I was able to prevail and push through the difficult moments.”

The SONHS uses S.H.A.R.E., a state-of-the-art simulation hospital to advance the teaching skills and real-world experiences available to nursing students. Students participate in a range of simulations throughout their education, preparing them for what will be seen in the real hospitals during clinical rotations. S.H.A.R.E. has become an integral part of the SONHS curriculum for nursing majors.

The Cognates Program allows ’Canes to follow their passions and strengthen their education

Tmix & match COGNATES

he Cognates Program is at the heart of the University of Miami’s framework, allowing students to explore diverse areas of knowledge. Whether you’re drawn to the Arts & Humanities, People & Society, or Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM), the Cognates Program is your gateway to a tailored educational experience.

The power is in your hands when it comes to choosing your Cognates. Let your interests, aspirations and curiosities be your guide. You have the freedom to select more than the required three, and each thematic cognate you complete will be proudly displayed on your transcript.

A Cognate is a set of at least three courses, totaling nine credit hours, and it can take various forms, including majors, minors, thematic cognates, or individualized cognates. Thematic cognates are thoughtfully curated by faculty, grouping courses by themes, disciplines, problems, topics, regions, and more. Individualized cognates offer the flexibility to create your unique educational journey by selecting courses within the same area of knowledge.

Individualized cognates are a great opportunity to take unique classes that

otherwise wouldn’t fit into your schedule. Want to learn astronomy by using a video game? It’s a part of an interactive version of the course “Descriptive Astronomy,” offered by the Physics Department. Would you like to look at Taylor Swift’s IP empire through a legal lens? Miami Law opened a course that discusses topics related to copyright, trademark and business affairs through Swift’s remarkable career. One anthropology course that definitely sparks a conversation is called “Dead Bodies & Bioethic,” which focuses on the ethical dilemmas faced by those who interact with dead bodies.

A junior studying motion pictures, Rachel Davit, took a ceramics class over the summer sessions.

“I took it just for fun and it ended up being a class I wish I could retake,” Davit said, “even though I’m a film major, it was nice to take something I didn’t think I would get too and have so much fun doing it. Plus, telling my friends all the bowls and mugs in the apartment are ones that I made is a cool feeling.”

Gianna Sesto, a senior majoring in chemistry, took a class called “The Chemistry of Food and Taste” for her major. It was the only type of lab where

students are able to eat what they make. Sesto commented, “We would learn about the chemistry in a lecture/ discussion format and then the next class period, we would cook as a class in the wellness center gym based on the chemical principles. We made liquid nitrogen ice cream, pretzels and ceviche as examples.”

Q&A

junior luke roberts

Q: What’s your major and where did you choose to study abroad?

A: I’m a computer science major with minors in Spanish and economics, and I chose to study in Madrid, Spain at the Universidad Nebrija.

Q: What was your favorite class that you took while abroad in Madrid?

A: My favorite class was my Spanish Art and Architecture course, it was completely in Spanish and we’d get points deducted for speaking English, which really helped me to get immersed and learn the language a lot more.

Q: What did you enjoy most about studying abroad?

A: I really enjoyed the fact that the school we went to was an international university, so I got to meet students from all across the US and Europe.

Q: What did you like the most and the least about Madrid itself?

A: I’d probably say the city itself was my favorite part, the parks and architecture there are beautiful and the people were great. I’d say my least favorite part was probably the cold weather in Madrid in January and February, I really wasn’t expecting it.

Q: What was your favorite trip you took while abroad?

A: I took a week-long trip to Malta for our spring break and that was probably my favorite, the scenery in the Maltese Islands is insane.

Q: What was your biggest takeaway from this experience?

A: I think it really helped me realize that living abroad in the future would be something I’d enjoy, which I had never really seen myself doing before.

Q: If you had to do it over again, would you stick with Madrid? Or would you pick a di erent city?

A: ould defnitel ic drid in t s such re t city, and honestly it didn’t feel that different from living in Miami in terms of the social scene so it wasn’t a huge adjustment to make.

FEager ‘Canes go from student to alumni with the turn of their tassel

all commencement took place on December 14, with two ceremonies for both undergraduate and graduate students in the Watsco Center. Commencement is a time for students to gather with their families and friends to celebrate the momentous occasion of completing their degree. The graduates were greeted with remarks from President Dr. Julio Frenk and Jeff Bewkes, former CEO of Time Warner.

Hannah Penano, a sophomore majoring in electrical and biomedical engineering stated, “My favorite part of attending fall commencement was watching my friend and mentor walk on stage. I’m glad that I was able to celebrate a monumental milestone with someone who I look up to.”

Thousands of students and their loved ones gathered in the Watsco Center to celebrate each other’s accomplishments. The remarks of President Frenk and Jeff Bewkes encouraged students to continue working hard post-graduation to achieve their dreams.

Penano explained, “My favorite speech came from our University President, Dr. Julio Frenk. I love how he reminds us to be mindful, yet excited of our legacy.”

Overall, the commencement festivities commemorated the hard work of our new graduates. While they will now go their separate ways, they will all always remain ‘Canes for life. Their UM education has prepared them for all that is to come in their future endeavors, no matter where they end up.

TRIALS and tribulations

AThe season starts out strong but momentum hits a wall with a tough loosing streak

fter a disappointing losing record the year before, Miami football entered a new season–its second led by head coach Mario Cristobal. The Hurricanes got off to a blazing start by kicking off the new campaign with a 4-0 record. The pinnacle of this early-season success came during Week 2, as quarterback Tyler Van Dyke delivered a 374-yard, five-touchdown performance to lift the ‘Canes over the No. 23-ranked Aggies, 45-35.

Miami’s good fortunes were short-lived. It was defeated in five of its next seven games. A once high-powered offense bogged down in October and November, as Van Dyke struggled to replicate the showings he had in Weeks 1 through 4.

Still, the Hurricanes were able to end their regular season off on a high note, defeating Boston College on a chilly Friday afternoon in Chestnutt Hill, Boston, 45-20. Miami then went on to play Rutgers in the New York-hosted Pinstripe Bowl.

The Scarlet Knights, who were already used to playing in frigid Northeast temperatures, used a relentless run game to power past the Hurricanes, 31-24. Miami ended its year off with a 7-6 record, which is a two-win improvement from 2022.

NOT taking the knee

Acostly coaching failure by the Hurricanes allowed Georgia Tech to defeat Miami 23-20 with an unexpected touchdown pass in the final seconds of the game.

Less than a minute remained in normal time, late in the fourth quarter. Miami had a narrow 20-17 lead and was in possession of the ball. Many fans believed that we should have taken a knee to let the clock run and secure the win. However, the team decided to go for it, running the ball on a third and 10 from the Georgia Tech 30-yard line. A very costly decision for the

The decision by Coach Mario Cristobal was controversial to die heart 'Canes fans and left many fans angry in the stands as they left Hard Rock. A national spotlight was pitted on Miami from sports reporters, podcasts and social media, leaving everyone

RAMPAGE on a

When Mario Cristobal was hired to be Miami football’s next head coach in December 2021, he placed a large emphasis on high school recruiting. In his first full recruiting cycle, he acquired the eighth-best class in the country, according to 247Sports. This was UM’s highest recruiting ranking since 2018.

This fresh talent made a large impact on the Hurricanes during the 2023 campaign. Miami finished the regular season ranked third nationally in snaps played by freshmen, trailing just South Carolina and Clemson. This included players on both offense and defense, several of whom emerged into starting roles by the end of the year.

By beating the Clemson Tigers, players secure a long-awaited win

On offense, Francis Mauigoa, who was considered by all major recruiting services to be a five-star prospect, was Miami’s starting right tackle for the entire year. Running back Mark Fletcher Jr. shined toward the end of the season as the Hurricanes’ featured back, rushing for 126 yards and two scores in UM’s home finale against Louisville. Other standouts on offense include quarterback Emory Williams, who led the ‘Canes to home wins over Virginia and Clemson, as well as tight end Riley Williams, who caught eight passes for 72 yards and a touchdown during games.

While last year’s freshman crop was great, this year’s could be even more productive, as UM’s 2024 recruiting class ranked No. 6 in the country, with defensive lineman Justin Scott being the headliner.

transfer portal

The NCAA transfer portal is an online program meant to assist athletes during the period of transitioning from one university to another. The portal is a resource that players use to give them more of a say in their exploration of other schools.

Eight Hurricanes entered the transfer portal, seeking a chance for the opportunity to perform at another university: Davonte Brown, Cornerback (Florida State) Collins Acheampong, Defensive End (UCLA) Brashard Smith, Wide Receiver (SMU) Colbie Young ,Wide Reciever (Georgia) Chantz Williams, Defensive end Corey Flagg Jr., Linebacker (Missouri) Tyler Van Dyke , Quarterback (Wisconsin) Don Chaney Jr., Running back (Louisville) Jaleel Skinner, Running Back (Louisville)

RIVALRY game

AThe season takes a turn with a rivalry game that leaves everyone upset

lthough the start of the season seemed hopeful, the football team struggled to find its pace. From winning in overtime to losing the game with just a few seconds left, the season has had a plethera of ups and downs.

During the last few weeks, the Hurricanes went against rivals the Florida State Seminoles. The rivalry game had twists and turns, as the ‘Canes were not an easy competitor for the Noles. The game attracted 4.14 million viewers, making it one of the highest-rated ACC games.

The ‘Canes were able to tie up with the Seminoles by halftime and even had the lead for the first few minutes of the second half. However, it wasn’t enough to overcome Florida State in the end. With a 20-27 final score, Miami almost had the chance of leaving a shock in Tallahassee and halting their undefeated season.

“I didn’t expect the game to be a close game, but when it hit halftime I really thought that we could end up winning. In the end it’s better than losing by a lot,” said Sophomore Olivia Walankiewicz after watching the game.

Along with the loss, freshman quarterback Emory Williams also suffered an injury during the last few minutes. His injury happened as Miami was close to potentially tying the game in the fourth quarter. Although he was the starting quarterback, his left arm injury took him out, not just for the night, but for the rest of the season. Quarterback Tyler Van Dyke was switched into the game to take Williams’ position and soon threw an interception that sealed the win for the Seminoles.

Taking home the win, Florida State was able to extend its three-game winning streak against Miami and continue their winning streak to 10-0.

LOWS highs and

Adominant win over Boston College marked the end of the regular season. But by the time the 'Canes took the field to face Rutgers in the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium in New York, a lot had changed. One of the five new starts was Jacurri Brown, who was playing quarterback for Miami for the first time since November of last year.

Due to the NFL Draft, the team was without their two leading offensive lineman and their powerful starting safeties. The 'Canes’ perseverance and resolve, however, remained unchanged. Miami struggled all the way through, recovering a late onside kick and at one point overturning a 14-point deficit to establish a lead. Unfortunately, the Canes did not overcome the 31-24 loss against the Kinghts.

The 25 Modern-Era Player Semifinalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2024 were revealed and four Miami Hurricanes were amongst them. Defensive tackle Vince Wilfork, wide receiver/kick returner Devin Hester, wide receiver Andre Johnson, wide receiver Reg gie Wayne and wide receiver Andre Johnson are on the Semifinalist list.

Athletes always go the extra mile to push through and finish strong during races

Miami’s cross country team is made up of a 10-athlete men’s roster and a 13-athlete women’s roster. The squad had participants at seven meets during the 2023 cross country season, including the NCAA Regional Championships in Gainesville and the NCAA Championships in Charlottesville.

Junior distance runner Daphnee Lavassas shined this season, as she broke the program record in the women’s 6K, topping Maddie Schultz’s time of 19:56:10, which she set in 2005. Lavassas joined Schultz as just the second woman in program history to represent the Hurricanes at the National Championships.

There were also several notable finishes this season. At the FSU Invitational, junior distance runner Austen Cannon was the highest-performing Hurricane on the day, finishing in fourth place out of 341 runners with a time of 24:54.8 in the men’s 8K. At this same event, junior Cormac O’Brien and sophomore Enrique Borrego also toppled the 26-minute barrier.

Also in this invitational, Carmaux, France native Emma Maurel led the women’s team by finishing in ninth place out of 335 runners with a time of 17:45.7 in the women’s 5K.

MAfter a tough season, a new coach is brought on board

iami soccer had a disappointing 2023 season, compiling a 3-10-4 overall record and a 2-7-1 record in conference play.

In the last match of the season, a 2-0 loss to Wake Forest, UM honored seniors Delaney Brown, Julia Edwards and Katerina Molina. This trio combined to play 167 games for the Hurricanes and made 105 starts. Notable achievements during their time at Miami included the Hurricanes’ first win against Florida in over a decade, the first win at Boston College in program history, a defeat over eventual NCAA College Cup semifinalist Alabama and a win over then No. 24-ranked Virginia Tech.

At the end of the season, athletic director Dan Radakovich decided to make a change in leadership, marking the end of Sarah Barnes’ time at Miami. In her six seasons as head coach, the Hurricanes totaled an overall record of 24-59-13.

On December 5, 2023, Miami announced the hiring of new head coach Ken Mashur, who previously spent nine years at Vanderbilt, with the past six as an associate head coach and recruiting coordinator. During his tenure at Vanderbilt, the Commodores secured five NCAA Tournament berths as well as an SEC regular season title in 2018, an SEC East Division championship in 2019 and an SEC tournament crown in 2020.

AFrom setting records to bringing home medals, the team excels together

t the 2024 NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships, junior swimmer Giulia Carvalho broke the UM record in the 50-yard freestyle. She became the first Hurricane ever to swim one of her signature events in under 22 seconds, clocking in at 21.99.

She continued to impress on the following days at the NCAA Championships, setting another program record, this time in the 100-yard butterfly. The Brazil native finished with a time of 51.31 in a preliminary round, earning her a spot to the finals at the Gabrielsen Natatorium at the University of Georgia, where she finished sixth in the consolation finals with a time of 51.50. At the end of this performance, she earned Honorable Mention All-America honors.

On the diving front, junior Mohamed Farouk took All-America honors, and junior Brodie Scapens received Honorable Mention All-America recognition.

Farouk shined in the 1-meter springboard, finishing fifth nationally in the event with a score of 385.45. He previously received a pair of medals at the 2024 ACC Championships. The Cairo native took home his first gold medal at the ACC Championships after winning the 1-meter event.

Scapens finished third in the consolation final of the 3-meter springboard, finishing with a score of 394.60. He earned this spot in the consolation finals after ending in 16th place in the preliminary round at the IU Natatorium. Scapens also finished 15th in the 1-meter springboard.

In addition to several notable performances at the NCAA Championships, the Hurricanes’ 400-yard freestyle relay group, formed by Carvalho, Talia Bates, Jane Fitzgerald and Savannah Barr, broke the program record in an NCAA ‘B’ cut time of 3:15.45 at the 2024 ACC Swimming & Diving Championships.

WThe team picks up where they left off at the end of last season

ith a historic finish in the Final Four, the ‘Canes wanted to carry the momentum into the new season. Starting off the season ranking 13th in the AP Top 25, the Hurricanes had their eyes on the grand prize.

The team kicked off the season with a dominating 101-60 win over the NJIT Highlanders at the Watsco Center. The Hurricanes continued their winning streak with an 88-72 win against UCF and an 86-80 win over FIU. With a three-game winning streak, the team traveled to Nassau, Bahamas, to compete in the Baha Mar Bahamas Hoops Championship.

Facing the Georgia Bulldogs in the Bahamas, the Hurricanes were able to take the lead from the start. Throughout the first half, Georgia and Miami continued to rally between each other until the Hurricanes took a 10-point lead right at halftime. With Miami widening the lead to almost 20 points in the second half, the ‘Canes were able to take the final win against the Bulldogs with a 79-68 finishing score.

The Hurricanes then went into the championship game in the Baha Mar Bahamas Hoop Championships. Miami took the 12 point lead against Kansas State and ended the first half with a 47-28 lead. Kansas State cut the gap short to nine points, however, the Hurricanes were able to finish the game with a 91-83 win. Junior Nijel Pack was handed the Tournament MVP, and Miami was 12 of 24 in 3-point shooting for the final championship game.

After the team’s first-ever Elite Eight appearance, Coach Meier wanted to ensure that the tenacity shown during March Madness would carry over to the new season. Just two players from that squad, juniors Ja’Leah Williams and Jasmyne Roberts, who combined for an average of 19 points and 7.3 rebounds in four tournament games, are back for Miami.

The team lost Lola Pendande, Haley Cavinder and Destiney Harden because they graduated, however new players are key to this year. Guard Jasmyne Roberts and Forward Lazaria Spearman are just two out of the new players to look out for.

With a 7-0 undefeated start, the team was off to a great start. To begin the season, the ‘Canes took the win against Fordham with a final score of 78-39. In the game, all nine ‘Canes scored. Miami was able to outscore the Rams 16-9 and keep Fordham to single digits for the third consecutive quarter, leading the team to victory. The Elite Eight banner was also

FINISH LINE straight to the

Four members of the Miami men’s track and field team qualified for the 2024 NCAA National Championships after successful preliminary round performances in Lexington.

Senior Russell Robinson punched his ticket to Eugene, Oregon after an outdoor season-best triple jump of 16.67 meters, which was the best mark of the meet. Robinson was previously named the 2024 NCAA Indoor Champion in the men’s triple jump, posting a mark of 16.76m. This was a school record and facility record at the TRACK at New Balance.

“I don’t know what words to describe it. It was

Passing the finish line with new records, personal bests and great teamwork

ACC Discus Champion and graduate student Milton Ingraham II advanced to the national championships after a discus throw of 58.44m. The Miami native finished sixth in last year’s outdoor national championship with a throw of 61.44m.

ACC Indoor High Jump Champion and outdoor bronze medalist Kennedy Sauder leaped 2.14m, and senior sprinter Solomon Strader ran a career-best 45.52 in the men’s 400m to qualify for the championships.

At the outdoor nationals, the team made history, finishing 10th overall with 22 accumulated points, both of which are program bests.

Robinson set a school record and personal best with a 17.13m in the triple jump. This earned him a silver medal and gave the Hurricanes eight points. He jumped over 17-meters twice in six attempts.

Ingraham achieved First Team All-American honors in the discus throw. He finished in seventh place among all contestants and added two points to the team.

MThe NCAA honors athletes for breaking records and setting new times to beat

iami women’s track and field wrapped up its 2024 season at the NCAA National Championships, and two players were recognized as All-Americans.

Junior Deisiane Teixeira was recognized as a First Team All-American in the javelin throw, and Christina Warren took home Second Team All-American honors in the triple jump.

For Warren, who recorded a 12.96m jump, this was the first All-American honor of her career. She advanced to the Outdoor National Championships after her 12.97m jump at the NCAA East Preliminaries. Warren was also named as ACC Triple Jump Bronze Medalist for the 2024 season.

Also in these preliminaries, Miami’s 4x400 team of Kennedy Brace, Makenzey Pierre-Webster, Alyssa Robinson and Gabriella Grisom clocked a season-best 3:29.24, which advanced them to the National Championships.

Pierre-Webster, a transfer from UCLA, set a school record for the fifth-fastest 400m time in program history with a mark of 51.73. This record-setting performance furthered Pierre-Webster to her first individual appearance at a national championship.

At the ACC Indoor Championships in February, the same 4x400 team claimed a gold medal with a mark of 3:32.83. This was the second straight season that the Hur ricanes won a gold medal in the event.

Junior thrower Erikka Hill won the Hurricanes six points and was awarded a bronze medal in the shot put with a 16.20m throw. Warren finished in fourth place in the 60m hurdles with a personal best time of 8.37. Ashley Moore finished fourth in the triple jump and Grissom ended fifth and set a new personal best in the 800m finals. This trio combined to score 11 points for the Hurricanes. Miami tallied 52 points in total throughout the event.

MATCH game, set,

Miami men’s tennis got off to a hot start to their 2024 campaign, winning six of its first seven matches, which included defeats of other programs like Wisconsin, Tulane and South Florida. The Hurricanes’ one loss during this stretch came against No. 13 Arizona. UM lost this match against the ranked Wildcats, 4-0.

Once conference play rolled around, the competitiveness of Miami’s schedule ramped up, and the Hurricanes were unable to match this higher quality of play. UM lost 10 of its 12 ACC matches, with nine of these losses coming against opponents ranked in the top 100. Miami did win its first-round matchup against Boston College but fell in the second round to North Carolina.

Following the end of the season, Miami made a major coaching change. Athlet ic Director Dan Radakovich moved Alex Santos, who was UM’s women’s associate head coach the previous four seasons, to men’s tennis coach.

“Alex is an energetic leader, sharp tactician and tireless recruiter, and I am confident he will help build our men’s program into a consistent winner,” Radakovich said in a Miami Athletics release.

Santos first worked at UM as an assistant coach for the women’s team from 2009 to 2013. He was awarded ITA National Assistant Coach honors in 2013 before leaving to become the head women’s tennis coach at Pittsburgh. He has been named the ITA Southeast Region Assistant Coach of the Year twice since returning to Miami. He will now look to have similar success coaching the men’s squad.

As an athlete, Santos was one of the top-ranked junior players in Portugal. “It is a dream come true to be able to lead the men’s tennis program at the University of Miami under the direction of my mentor, Paige Yaroshuk-Tews,” Santos said. “I would like to thank Dan Radakovich, Senior Deputy Director of Athletics Brian Baptiste and Deputy Director of Athletics Rachelle Paul for believing in our shared vision of transforming and elevating Miami tennis. Go 'Canes!”

Hard work and dedication leads one tennis player to a win at the NCAA Championship games

Iwinning IT ALL

n a season full of storylines, Alexa Noel’s journey to a national championship stands out. In late May, she was crowned the NCAA Singles Champion after an intense three-sets at the Greenwood Tennis Center. This is the third time in program history and first time since 2019 that a Hurricane has accomplished this feat. In the championship match, Noel defeated University of Georgia’s Anastasiia Lopata, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3. Throughout her tournament run, Noel defeated opponents from Texas, Southern California, North Carolina, Stanford and Texas A&M, as well.

Noel was also recently named the ACC Player of the Year and she also claimed first-team status for her singles play.

“I’m so proud of the tournament that Alexa played,” head coach Paige Yaroshuk-Tews said in a UM Athletics release. “She showed uncompromising poise and the toughness of a champion. She’s a special young lady.”

After the season, Yaroshuk-Tews was elevated to the position of director of men’s and women’s tennis. She ended her coaching career at Miami as the head coach with the most wins in program history with 425 wins over 23 seasons.

“Paige is one of the most accomplished coaches in college tennis and she has a clear vision for how Miami tennis should collectively look, feel and function,” athletic director Dan Radakovich said. “I am excited to see how she helps the student-athletes in both of our tennis programs maximize their talents.

Yaroshuk-Tews is excited to oversee both the men’s and the women’s programs at Miami. “I want to thank Dan Radakovich for giving me this unique opportunity,” Yaroshuk-Tews said. “Miami tennis has a special place in my heart, and I am so excited to have the opportunity to oversee both men’s and women’s tennis at the "U". We will work collectively as programs, as staffs and as a community to succeed at the highest level.”

Mon the WATER

iami’s rowing team kicked off its spring slate with a strong showing at the Oregon State invite, as its first varsity four notched the top slot at Oregon State’s Dexter Lake. The group of Tarynn Kaelin, Mia Harrington, Grace Gaskill, Peyton Hulsewe and Nicole Wysznyski finished with a time of 7:30.6, defeating the Beavers by nearly four seconds and Washington State by six.

“That was a fun first day of racing for this group,” head coach James Mulcahy said about the Hurricanes’ performance. “The 1V4+ did an excellent job of keeping

its focus internal and rowing their own race; they should be very proud of that effort. The 2v8+ and the 1v8+ had some difficulties at staying consistent at various points but should feel confident going forward.”

Following this west-coast invite, Miami traveled back to Florida for the Sunshine State Invite, where it claimed a championship among 16 other participants. UCF and Iowa finished in second and third place. This was UM’s first No. 1 finish in the first varsity eight in the almost decade it’s spent competing at the Sunshine State Invite.

Wrapping up its season at the 2024 ACC Championships, Miami finished in fifth place out of nine teams and set several program records in the process. The third varsity eight set a program record for the boat with a time of 6:56.008. UM’s second varsity eight finished with a time of 6:33.373 and its first varsity eight with a 6:23.427 mark, which are both school bests for the respective boats.

Aaliah Dawson was named to the ACC First Team, and Constance Stirling was recognized to the All-ACC Second Team. Stirling has received postseason honors

A change in leadership results in a challenging season for the team

TUP to bat

his season marked a new era for Miami baseball. After 21 previous seasons as an assistant, Miami native and former Hurricanes pitcher J.D. Arteaga was promoted to head coach ahead of the 2024 season. He is the 10th head coach in program history.

Arteaga’s first season as the head of the Hurricanes was challenging, as he was tasked with manning a young team that lost many contributors from the season before to the MLB Draft, such as Yohandy Morales and Dominic Pitelli. Miami finished with an overall record of 27–30, which included a conference record of 11–19.

The Hurricanes began their season with expected series wins against NJIT and Long Island. Their first weekend test of the year came against in-state rival Florida. The Gators got the best of Miami, winning two of the three matchups. Miami followed this series loss with a win over both Virginia and North Carolina.

This proved to be the pinnacle of Miami’s season, as the Hurricanes dropped their next six series and were swept by Duke and Florida State. Another shortcoming of UM’s regular season was its midweek losses. The Hurricanes experienced several unexpected defeats, including losses to Florida Atlantic, Bethune-Cookman and Florida Gulf Coast.

Miami did fare better than anticipated in postseason play, winning games over Louisville and Clemson before ultimately falling to Duke.

Q: How has being in your sorority benefited you?

I found I had a lot of things in common with the girls very quickly. As we got to know each other, these girls have been with me through some of the hardest moments of my life. When my dad passed away last May, I was shocked by how much love and support I got.

BETA THETA PI

NICKNAME Beta

WHO THEY ARE

Beta Theta Pi, commonly known on campuses across North America simply as Beta, was founded on August 8, 1839, at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. One of the oldest fraternities in existence, it was founded by students who had previously been members of the Erodelphian and Union Literary Societies but had greater aspirations for their own organization.

Today the Fraternity’s GPA has risen to 3.251, the highest of all fraternities. The average chapter size is 68 men, compared to 48.9 in 1997. In 1998 there was an average of 1.95 volunteer advisors per chapter. Today, an average of eight advisors work with each chapter. Beta Theta Pi is a shining example across North America for all that is good and true when men come together in a brotherhood of purpose, friendship and fidelity.

HISTORY

1904 in Charleston, S.C., three friends—Andrew Kroeg, Simon Fogarty and Harry Mixson. In just over four years, Pi Kappa Phi had become a truly national fraternity. Over the course of a century, a fraternity with humble beginnings has grown into a brotherhood of more than 120,000 strong Pi Kappa Phi was originally founded as Nu Phi, which stood for “nonfraternity.” The founders, disillusioned with campus politics being run exclusively by fraternities, created Nu Phi as a means to attain leadership roles within the Chrestomathic Literary Society. However, the attempt to seize control of the Society was thwarted when some of the Nu Phis proved to be disloyal. The loyal Nu Phis regrouped, and on the evening of December 10, 1904, the seven remaining men created a new group—to be known as Pi Kappa Phi.

To this day, Pi Kappa Phi embraces its Nu Phi heritage. It manifests itself in various way and emboldens us as Pi Kappa Phis to confront issues with fresh, new approaches.

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.

HISTORY

ZBT prides itself on being an inclusive Jewish organization welcoming of any college man who understands and appreciates our Mission. ZBT will recruit and initiate men of good character — regardless of religion, race or creed — who are accepting of our Credo and Mission.

Founded in 1898, ZBT is the world’s first and largest Jewish Fraternity. Since our historic founding, more than 140,000 men have been initiated into our great Brotherhood. Again making history, in 1989 ZBT became the first fraternity to abolish pledging and all two-tier membership statuses. Our Brotherhood focuses on equal rights, privileges and responsibilities for all brothers. We firmly stand against all forms of hate in our communities, and we are working to create a safer and more inclusive college and community environment for all students.

OGLOWINGskin always

ne of the youngest clubs on campus, Skin to Skin has already been well received a year after its founding. Skin to Skin gives students a voice to share their thoughts about skincare and receive free goodies to implement into their own routines.

Junior and president of Skin to Skin Julia Sarama founded the club in her sophomore yea due to her passion for skincare after years of dealing with acne. As a young teen, Sarama wanted to blend

into her surroundings rather than stand out. However, those feelings changed in college.

“I decided to pursue something that I was interested in more than anything else, starting a space to explore all the complex topics stemming from skin related concerns. In addition to building this community, it could be a place to learn about dermatology and explore the field earlier than the opportunities that were available to me,” Sarama says.

BRING the beat in

From the start of the football game to the end, the crowd is riled up by the live performances done by the one and only Frost Band of the Hour. With a mixture of playing music and a visual performance, the marching band is one of the biggest highlights at the stadium. Directed by Professor Jay Rees, the marching band gets the fans excited and pumped up at each and every game.

Members of the band practice under the scorching Miami sun to have a perfect formation for the performance. After long hours of practicing, the band is able to create a set that brings the energy to life at the stadium. From the ‘Floating U’ to spelling out CANES, many of the performances allow the crowd to interact with the band.

“The band heightens the crowd’s energy during touchdowns and hypes the crowd

Ready to bring life to the crowd, Frost Band of the Hour plays for the stadium full of fans

up when the energy is low; they’re kind of the glue that holds the whole game together and makes it more fun,” said freshman Julia Zhu.

The Frost Band of the Hour can be seen performing before, during and after the game. As the football team takes to the field, the band can be heard, and during the game, the band will have specific songs played after a specific play. However, the highlight of the band’s performance is during the half-time show. With a variety of formations and songs, many anticipate what the band has to offer each game.

Whether the game results in a win or a loss, the marching band makes sure that the school spirit is present. Although being a part of the band requires extensive hours of practice throughout the week, it also creates long-lasting memories and friendships. From engineering to music majors, anyone can be a part of the pride of the University of Miami: The Frost Band of the Hour.

CHEERS loud and proud

FThe cheerleaders energize the crowd with precision and spirit that bring energy to any event

all is the busiest season for the team, and you can catch our cheerleaders performing at every football game, home volleyball games, and both men’s and women’s basketball games. During the season, both our all-girl and co-ed teams practice three times a week for close to three hours and lift twice a week in preparation for the sports games and annual Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA) Division I-A College Championships in January.

Practices consist of tumbling, stunting, pyramids, game prep and competition prep. The team, led by head coach Cecilia Esteban, improved since the last season and placed 11th overall in the UCA competition in Orlando, Florida, moving up one place in the standings.

“The bond is really strong. We have to have a lot of trust in each other for our sport, so we definitely have a vibrant and strong bond that you definitely see.”

“It is a lot of hard work, but super rewarding,” said Junior Amanda Kaplan, co-captain alongside Senior Dylan Barron. “Everyone on the team is really close. We are together almost every day, so when we aren’t together for a while, it feels like it’s been forever.”

From spending so much of their time together and the type of work our cheerleaders do, the members of the team have grown very close to one another in such a short amount of time.

“I love March Madness, that’s probably my favorite part of the year,” comments Barron. In the previous season, the team traveled with the men’s basketball team for March Madness for the Final 4 run.

HONORING our organizations

The Committee on Student Organizations hosts an annual award ceremony called the SOAR awards. Here, COSO awards organizations for their outreach, initiatives, involvement and school spirit. Over 50 orgs attend the award ceremony.

ADVOCATES

By supporting over 300 individual organizations at the university, COSO provides a space for all students to find their passi

Best Buddies, UCook, Hurricane Steppers and Sailing Hurricanes— these along with many others make up over 300 student organizations on campus. Before club sport teams, fraternities and sororities and any other kind of organization is created on campus, each have to go through the Committee on Student Organizations or COSO’s process for new student organizations. COSO oversees the approval process for all clubs, hosts multiple events, including CaneFest and the Spring Involvement Fair, and acts as a resource to student e-board members.

“The committee is supposed to represent students on campus, so it’s not everyone in your major, they’re not all doing the same things as you, but that’s kind of good because you have a lot of diverse perspectives,” said Sarah Mohammed, chair of COSO.

SUNSATION ready, set,

The Sunsations, led by Head Coach Jonni Rogers and Assistant Coach Cameron Cruz, have been bringing all their spirit and flair to home football and basketball games. The team performs on the sidelines throughout the game, and is featured in timeouts and half-time performances.

“This team is so much more than just dance and I love having a group that I can lean on for anything and everything,” senior and captain of the team Riley Scheier says. Scheier has been a member of the Sunsations since her freshman year, and loves how this team has given her the opportunity to see every game

from the sidelines while promoting school spirit.

From January 12-14, the Sunsations compete in the annual UDA College Championship at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla. Each year, the Sunsations make an effort to significantly improve their routines. The team scored a program high score in the hip-hop division and placed 12th overall.

“A highlight of this season for me has been learning our national’s hiphop routine,” exclaims Scheier. This group of 20 women compete in both the jazz and hip-hop categories at the competition.

making memories

Freshman Mia Yim has been dancing since she was 5, and has been competing for the past 6 years. Because of her love for dance, one of her collegiate goals was to be a part of the Sunsations dance team. Her dreams came true when she joined the team of talented dancers.

Being a Sunsation is no easy job. The Sunsations train hard and begin lifting at 6:00 a.m. and practice routines late into the night. The hard work and long hours are worth it for Yim.

“The team is super supportive and helps everyone push through because at the end of the day, we all want to be successful together as a team,” Yim said.

DANCE get up and

TWith music played by the band, dancers put on a show for fans at every sporting event

he Hurricanettes, accompanied by the Frost Band of the Hour in their routines, can be found shaking their pom-poms both in and out of the “U” at various sporting, alumni and special events and just this past fall, the Magic Kingdom parade.

Junior Hurricanette Ashtyn DeCoster explains how physically demanding it is to be a Hurricanette with all their practices–especially in scorching Miami sun.

“Nevertheless, these physical demands pale in comparison to the joy we experience doing what we love—cheering on our beloved Canes,” DeCoster says with pride for her sport.

Practices consist of improving flexibility, technique, skills, learning new routines for game days and polishing up old routines in either the IM Fields, the studios in The Wellness Center and The Carol Soffer Indoor Practice Facility.

“I absolutely love our team dynamic—the camaraderie we share is deeply rooted in our shared passion which is so special. We have become each other’s best friends,” DeCoster explains. After every practice, the girls huddle together and chant “Family on 3! 1, 2, 3 family!”

LETS GO TEAM! During the second baseball game against the University of Florida, the Miami Maniac makes an appearance and cheers on the team alongside the crowd. In the second game against UF, the Hurricanes would lose 4-8 after coming off of a 10-6 win the day before. The Miami Maniac was started in 1963, originally called the “The Wizard of College Baseball." Photo by Char Jones

CLOSING

Although each academic year must eventually 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. The feeling of pride felt by every Hurricane is evident in the satisfaction present after finals week ends. As we reflect, we remember how great it is to be a Hurricane, and look forward to whatever the future may bring.

Congratulations to our amazingly hard working, dedicated, smart, and altogether wonderful daughter and sister, Allison. We love you so very much and are so proud of you. Congratulations on your outstanding accomplishments. The future is yours to create!

Love, Mom, Dad, Julianne, Andrew, and Oliver

FROM THE EDITOR

The 2024 Ibis Yearbook, my final book, was put together by a dedicated team of staffers who worked countless hours to produce high quality content. Through thick and thin, the 2024 staff worked together and collaborated to keep a piece of UMiami history 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 for a third time 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.

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 third 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 98th volume of the Ibis. I am so proud of the legacy I am leaving here. I am sad to go, but I will never forget my time as EIC.

Sincerely, Carolina

Camus

FINAL QUARTER FOOTBALL Students in the front row of the student section at Hard Rock Stadium sing the Alma Mater following the football win against Bethune-Cookman. They raise their pointer fingers in the air at the end of the 48-7 winning game and sway side to side to mock the gentle swaying of a palm tree. William “Bill” S. Lampe wrote the words to the song on the back of an envelope and an overdue bill from a printer, making him an essential part of UM history.

OUR GROWTH

Despite many of the obstacles thrown at students during their college years, ‘Canes always come together to overcome. As the academic year comes to an end, new opportunities arise for ‘Canes all over the world. Graduation is not the end of a chapter, rather it is the beginning of one. Advancing in academic careers is proof that as time goes on we mature and grow, and we understand that we take the lessons we learned with us.

SMOKE HISTORY The traditional Hurricane “smoke” entrance in the Orange Bowl began in the 1950s. In an attempt to increase fan interest, UM transportation director Bob Nalette came up with the idea of using fire extinguishers to produce the now-famous smoke that Hurricanes run through as they enter the field. The original set up included flashing lights, two large hurricane flags and a tape of a hurricane being blasted over the loud speaker. The flags and lights are now gone but the smoke and sound track still remain. Photo by Reese Putnam

OUR LIVES

By choosing to study at the University of Miami, each student made a decision that would change their lives forever. Because of the unique opportunities presented to all students, as well as the welcoming environment, campus is considered home to many. And although everyone must eventually walk across the graduation stage and leave UM behind, the memories and knowledge gained will stay with them wherever they go.
