The class of 2020 was always slated to wa have a special spot ha in IU’s history.

As the bicentennial class, comten mencement repreme sented not just every individual acsen complishment of this year’s graduates co but 200 years of success and growth. bu We could hardly have asked for a more iconic way to end our time at IU. mo Then, of course, COVID-19 happened. pe To keep the IU community safe and healthy, we left campus in March an and finished classes online. an Instead of walking across Memorial Stadium on May 9, we spent comria mencement weekend watching our me peers through screens as they popped pe champagne and flipped their tassels ch in hometowns across the country.

But more than 9,000 people still graduated, and that’s something to celebrate. ua As part of the school’s historical record, the Indiana Daily Student is briefly returning from its print hiatus to mail every senior a physical copy of our graduation edition.

The IDS staff hopes this paper serves as a reminder for years to come of what it was like to be graduating college during this strange time and the ways people still celebrated their achievements.

We leave here faced with uncertainties. We don’t know when life will return to normal or when those of us in the job market may find a stable position. We don’t know how this will affect us in the coming years.

But one day, the coronavirus will be a distant memory. We will be able to hug our friends on the way out of our favorite restaurants and bump into sweaty strangers while we dance at concerts. The impending sense of doom will be gone.

If you’re reading this from then, I hope this letter reminds you how much better that time is than this one.

I served as editor-in-chief of the IDS during a very turbulent semester, but it has been incredibly rewarding to help bring readers the news they need. It gave me purpose when there wasn’t much else to do.

If you have been following our work, thank you for supporting the IDS. And congratulations, bicentennial grads. We deserve it.

Each IU school to celebrate differently

By Lily Wray lgwray@iu.edu | @lilywray_

IU has postponed all in-person IU has postponed all in-person spring commencement activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but several schools throughout IU’s campus have decided to celebrate their graduates through various virtual ceremonies throughout the month of May. These celebrations will be streamed via Facebook Live, on the schools websites', on broadcast. iu.edu or on commencement.iu.edu.

“You’re going to make it through it. You just have to persist and continue to make an effort.”

“That was always just my plan because of my interaction with the court system myself.

Just to make a difference.”

“They knew once I graduated high school, I was going to do great things. I wasn’t going to give up.”

“Keep your head up and keep working, and you’ll accomplish whatever you are working towards,”

IU first-generation graduates celebrate

By Alex Hardgrave ahardgra@iu.edu | @a_hardgrave

For these four first-generation graduates, perseverance has always been a part of life. After a less-than-ideal end to their college careers, they looked back on what made their IU experiences special and what graduation meant to them.

16.2% of IU's class of 2020 are first-generation college students Natalia Johnson Natalia Johnson, an informatics major, had already left for spring break when she got the email about IU's classes moving online.

She started sobbing.

The subsequent news of postponed graduation was also difficult. She reminds herself that

graduation will happen someday, just not when she expected.

“That’s the whole reason I went to college is to pursue an education and make sure that I could be successful in the future," she said.

“And when I found out that all the accomplishments that I’ve worked so hard for were on pause or it’s canceled or postponed — that was a really big deal and it was just upsetting.”

She said she often felt a sense of imposter syndrome at IU. For Johnson, graduating proves she deserves the success she worked hard for. She is going to start as a consultant at Alpha Financial Software, though her start date is on hold right now.

She is sad she didn’t have an opportunity to say goodbye to groups she was a part of, including Collins Living Learning Center, the LGBTQ+ Culture Center and the Center of Excellence for Women and Technology.

“Without all the challenges I’ve

faced in college, including the pandemic, and the continued support of the IU community in all my endeavors, I would not be who I am today,” she said.

Johnson’s advice for first- generation students is to know that what they are doing is not easy and that finding older mentors is helpful.

“You’re going to make it through it,” she said. “You just have to persist and continue to make an effort.”

Rajen Megha Rajen Megha is graduating with a bachelor's degree in social work. She plans to go to the Robert H. McKinney School of Law at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis and become a lawyer for public interest law, primarily dealing with child abuse and neglect cases.

“That was always just my plan because of my interaction with the court system myself,” she said.

“Just to make a difference.”

was 8-months-old, and she chose to be emancipated from her mother later on. Because of her situation, she didn’t think she would go to college. When she was accepted into the IU Groups Scholars Program, a program for first-generation, underrepresented students, she realized she could.

Along with Groups, she was a member of Delta Phi Epsilon sorority and worked multiple jobs at Ken Nunn Law Office, the SRSC and Court Appointed Special Advocates for abused and neglected children.

She said she balanced it all with a very tight, carefully planned, color-coded schedule.

Through her jobs and major, she has made many close groups of friends. She said having groups on campus helped make IU small and give her the small town feel she grew up with. She is sad that she won’t get to share graduation

Grads celebrate in new ways

By Nick Telman ntelman@iu.edu | @telmonster_11

With both individual school and campus graduation ceremonies postponed, seniors are getting creative to celebrate commencement this year.

Senior Kayla Curry is a first-generation college student graduating from the Kelley School of Business with a degree in management. She said not being able to celebrate this accomplishment with her family and friends is a real let down.

“This is a moment that I’ve looked forward to,” Curry said. “Even now I still don’t know when graduation ceremonies will be, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to walk or not. I’m calmer about it now, but I was definitely angry at first.”

Some students are celebrating with their organizations or cultural centers.

Curry wanted to attend NealMarshall Black Culture Cen-

ter’s Black Congratulatory Ceremony and had plans to celebrate with her sorority, Delta Sigma Theta.

Curry said she’s seen a lot of IU graduation ceremonies because she works at the auditorium.

“I’ve seen the graduation ceremonies and heard all the speeches for the last three years, so I was really looking forward to actually walking across the stage like I see people do every year,” Curry said.

Her sorority has a senior sendoff every year, but this year’s will be virtual. The younger members will create games for the graduates to play, present slide shows depicting the graduates’ accomplishments and chip in to buy individualized gifts for the grads.

Graduating from college is a milestone many families look forward to celebrating with their graduates. However, given the COVID-19 pandemic, some are not in a

celebratory mood.

“I don’t really want to celebrate it now, because I feel like a lot of the magic of graduation is gone, especially with the Kelley ceremony being cancelled,” senior Estefani Alcaraz-Quevedo said.

Alcaraz-Quevedo is graduating from the business school with a degree in finance. She said she might take pictures in her cap and gown in the future.

“I’m just going to use the gown to take pictures with my family,” she said. “It’s what I did in high school and it’s probably what my family will want to do.”

Senior Jake Dufinetz is graduating from the business school with a degree in information systems and business analytics. To celebrate, he and a few friends decided to put together a mock graduation ceremony in his backyard. He said the ceremony would include cheap caps and gowns, some help from siblings and possibly even

unofficial grade transcripts to determine a valedictorian.

“My friend actually came up with the idea to have our own little graduation ceremony this summer,” Dufinetz said. “Family members of the graduates would come too; my older sister wants to be the dean and my friend’s sister wants to be the guest speaker.”

Dufinetz said the event won’t replace not being to participate in Bloomington senior traditions.

Events such as the Delta’s senior sendoff and Little 500 are some of the annual events normally encapsulated within graduation season. Dufintez said it’s annual events like these that seniors are really heartbroken over.

“The week after finals seniors typically stay around having my last week in Bloomington with no classes or finals,” Dufinetz said. “But now people are back in their hometowns, so I don’t get to have that time with them.”

Seniors enter uncertain job market

By Ben Price beprice@iu.edu | @bbenpprice54

The coronavirus pandemic has changed the paths many IU seniors thought they were going to take after graduating. Jobs have turned remote, offers have been rescinded and many are feeling uncertain about their futures.

Joseph Lovejoy, director of the Walter Center for Career Achievement, said the center is working to help the College of Arts and Sciences seniors get information about jobs and internships by conducting career coaching appointments, workshops and webinars online.

“We have a lot of students that have had internship and job offers rescinded,” Lovejoy said. “We are trying to be really hands-on with those students and helping them to identify what their next step is given their situation.”

Lovejoy said the center personally tried to call all of the seniors in the College of

Arts and Sciences to check in with them and make sure they had the appropriate resources for their next steps after graduating. He said the center has put on several webinars, including one on how students can succeed in a remote work environment, that were uploaded to its website.

Lovejoy said he frequently tells seniors to build relationships with future employers and IU alumni, think more broadly about job opportunities and remember that their first job outside of college is not a job they have to keep forever.

“I want to remind students that one of the most powerful resources that they have available to them as a student at IU is our alumni,” Lovejoy said. “All of the schools have great contacts with alumni — students need to remember, even though they’re away from campus, they’re not alone in this.”

The center suggests networking by connecting with alumni on LinkedIn and

contacting alumni in their fields through their schools’ career resources. Students should also try to be proactive in their hunt for jobs by attending virtual career fairs the center has and getting their resumes critiqued by career coaches.

Other tips include making sure social media accounts are appropriate for employers to see, practicing job interviews and personalizing resumes and cover letters to fit each job description. Seniors can also look for nontraditional work, such as freelancing and short-term opportunities, to gain valuable skills and professional networks.

IU senior Paxton Krehn, studying linguistic anthropology, said she was invited to join the Peace Corps for two years in Ukraine teaching English to secondary school students starting in August, but it has now been postponed until at least October.. She said after she returns from Ukraine, she

wants to apply for law school.

Krehn said she feels like the next couple of years will be shaky since her original start date has been pushed back and could be canceled.

“If that gets canceled, I haven’t done anything to apply for law school, so it’s not like I can start that part of my life,”Krehn said.

She said its difficult to be graduating right now because no one knows what advice to give.

IU senior Niki Pizzato, studying computer science, said she has a job lined up at Discover Financial Services, which she was offered in the fall after her internship there last summer.

“I’m incredibly lucky I was able to find a job early,” Pizzato said.

Pizzato said she is thankful her job is technology based because it can be done remotely. She said she feels bad for her friends in the arts industry, since those jobs typically cannot be done remotely.

An IU student filed a lawsuit Wednesday seeking reimbursement for tuition and fees after the university moved classes online and closed most campus buildings and facilities due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Justin Spiegel, a student from Illinois, brought the suit against the IU Trustees on Wednesday in the Monroe County Circuit Court.

IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said in an email that the university is “deeply disappointed” that the lawsuit does not recognize the efforts of faculty, staff and students and instead seeks to “take advantage” of the coronavirus crisis.

The suit hopes to reach class action status, which would represent everyone paying tuition and fees for or on behalf of students enrolled at IU in spring 2020, according to the complaint.

The complaint alleges that IU’s decision to move classes online in March “was the right thing” to do but deprived students of the “benefits of in-person instruction, access to campus facilities, student activities, and other benefits and services in exchange for Which they had already paid fees and tuition.”

The lawsuit positions IU among more than 25 universities across the country that are being sued for allegedly failing to provide the educational experience students paid for.

Spiegel’s lawyers note that since classes moved online, not all are being taught live. Some instructors are uploading recorded lectures or written assignments, straying from the in-person interactions, discussions and learning opportunities expected for an in-person degree.

The “true college experience” students anticipated includes access to facilities, participation in extracurriculars, social development, hands-on learning, networking and in-person interactions with professors, mentors and peers, according to the complaint.

Spiegel’s BS in informatics costs $10,948 in tuition and fees for Indiana residents and $36,512 for nonresidents for the 2019-20 school year alone. The same degree through IU’s online program would cost a total of $30,000 for Indiana residents and $42,000 for nonresidents, according to the complaint.

“Even before COVID-19, Defendant placed value on remote education as being worth between 18% and 71% less than that same education being taught on campus,” the complaint concludes.

Spiegel’s lawyers argue

in the complaint that the university should repay students accordingly.

Daniel Hickey, a professor with the Learning Sciences program in IU’s School of Education, previously told the Indiana Daily Student that comparing IU’s tuition to the costs of universities that typically operate completely online would be misguided.

Programs designed to operate completely online are usually not interactive and wouldn’t use Zoom meetings, online discussion forums or instructor support like IU courses, he said.

In fact, there are several reasons why costs would rise amid the online transition to account for increased resources such as instructor support and educational consultants.

But IU offered several discounts for students taking summer classes, which will be conducted online.

The university will offer summer classes per credit and decrease mandatory fees by 20%, Carney said.

Students will receive a 10% discount if they take 12 or more credit hours during the summer.

IU also removed the late schedule fee and late registration fee for summer classes. The late schedule fee would usually cost students $8.60 per day to adjust their schedule two days after their initial registration. The late registration fee would cost students at least $60.

The complaint alleges that the only difference between these discounts and IU’s decision to not discount online classes for the spring semester is that IU already collected spring tuition, and students have not yet paid for summer classes.

IU received $12 million from the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act to provide eligible students with emergency funding to help with financial hardships caused by the pandemic, according to a Division of Student Affairs website. Students can also apply for donor funds from the university.

“In the midst of a global pandemic that has wreaked havoc on our entire way of life, Indiana University has acted responsibly to keep our students safe and progressing in their education,” Carney said.

One of the attorneys representing Spiegel is involved in another lawsuit filed against the university after mold was found in residence halls across campus in the 2018-2019 school year. That case received class action certification in January, and IU is appealing the decision. Thousands of students could receive compensation from the lawsuit pending the result of the case.

‘This too shall pass’ IU alumni after 2008 recession offer career advice

By Carson Terbush cterbush@iu.edu | @_carsonology

In the summer of 2008, Molly Mealer got a job in a mall at a Victoria’s Secret.

She had just graduated from IU with a degree in apparel merchandising. She had spent four years learning how to analyze, manage and improve retail companies at a high level. Now she showed customers where to find panties, perfume and lingerie.

Mealer never expected her first job out of college to be a part-time gig in a mall. She wasn’t alone. The Great Recession, the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression, caused unemployment rates to spike to 10% in 2009, reshaping the futures of all IU's then-graduates.

This year’s graduating class may face similar challenges to Mealer’s when she got her diploma 12 years ago.

The COVID-19 pandemic is wreaking economic havoc and putting people’s lives in danger.

While official rates have not yet been released for April, the unemployment rate may be close to 18% according to Fortune,meaning nearly one in five workers don’t have a job.

Joe Lovejoy, director of the IU Walter Center for Career Achievement, said while the turmoil caused by the pandemic may seem scary, economic turbulence is more common than it may seem.

“While it doesn’t always feel that way, it’s actually kind of normal for the economy and the job market to make huge shifts every 10 years or so, so I think we’re seeing another one of those now,” Lovejoy said.

While the exact circumstances of the Great Recession and today’s COVID-19 economy are different, feelings of uncertainty are universal in an economic crisis. Tips from IU alumni who graduated in the Great Recession may offer insight for today’s students on how to navigate an unpredictable future.

Tip #1: Don’t be ashamed of not getting your dream job right away Mealer said it was difficult to come to terms with her job in a Victoria’s Secret store, especially at family gatherings like Thanksgiving when relatives asked about her job.

“Did I want to say I just graduated from a great university and worked my butt off for this degree and now I’m working in the mall at Victoria’s Secret? No,” Mealer said. “But I knew that I just had to wait for something to

passionate about that field, and they’re not passionate about studying that topic indepth, they’re signing up for a rough couple of years,” Lovejoy said.

open up.”

Mealer was not the only graduate during the recession who had trouble breaking into her chosen field.

After working as a probation officer for three years, Seth Tackett decided to go back to IU to pursue a degree in telecommunications. Tackett already had a lot of credits from his first degree in criminal justice, so he got his second degree within one year and graduated in 2007.

Tackett’s first job was a part-time position making videos for the IU football team. Most of his colleagues were still students.

“I had to eat a big old piece of humble pie, and I moved back in with my mom and had to fill up that résumé with part-time jobs,” Tackett said.

“It started with the football team.”

At one point, he was working part time for the IU football team, the Pacers and Community Access Television, all at once.

“I had to kind of nickel and dime part time and freelance opportunities, and I actually didn’t move out until — it’s tough to think about, but it was the summer of ‘15,” Tackett said. “That’s how far and long I was building my résumé up and doing those parttime jobs.”

Today, Tackett is the chief news videographer at WTIU Public Television.

Lovejoy said he encourages students to focus on marketable skills they can gain from their first job if it doesn’t

align with their expectations.

Tackett said students shouldn’t worry about future employers judging their past jobs.

“I’ve never had a job interview where somebody was like, ‘Did you live with your mom at the time?’ or ‘Was this a part-time job?’” Tackett said. “You just talked about where you’ve been and what you’ve done and what you’ve learned and what you can bring to the company.”

Today, Molly Mealer is a planning manager at Victoria’s Secret PINK’s corporate office in Columbus, Ohio.

As an employer herself now, Mealer said she knows that employers experience economic crises too, and they will be understanding.

“They know more than anyone what’s going on in the economy and they have felt the same thing,” Mealer said. “It’s not going to be a surprise that you left college and didn’t have a job. You’re probably going to be actually in the minority if you do at this point.”

Tip #2: Make the most of the job you have Rev. Michael Kurth, an Episcopal priest in Rye, New York, graduated from IU with a degree in sports media and marketing in 2009. Kurth said it was difficult to find a job in his field of study, so he worked part time at his church for 10 months after graduation.

Kurth said the tight job market helped him find his

calling sooner than he would have otherwise.

Kurth’s career benefited in a way from the Great Recession, but he said many of his friends were less happy with the jobs they started in after graduating, and several consecutive IU graduating classes faced tough times.

“We watched it happen to the people above us, and then we watched it happen to us, and then even a little bit to the people that came after us,” Kurth said. “It wasn’t until really like 2010 that things started to really pick back up again.”

Lovejoy said regardless of what job students end up in after graduating, there are universal skills all employers are looking for they can work on. For example, a job like waiting tables could improve skills in communication, problem solving and customer service.

Mealer said she took every opportunity she could to stand out in her first job at Victoria’s Secret. She said when the stores would remodel, they would ask for volunteers to set up merchandise before reopening.

“I would go to every single on of those trips,” Mealer said.

“It wasn’t because it was convenient, it was because I knew that I would be able to add that visual merchandising element to my résumé and talk about it.”

Lovejoy said taking initiative in lower-level jobs is important in an uncertain economy.

“Searching for a job and an internship requires skill and grit under normal circumstances, but even more so now,” Lovejoy said.

Tip #3: Grad school is an option, but make sure it’s right for you Mealer said many of her friends changed career paths as a result of the shifting economy. When their planned fields weren’t hiring, they decided to pursue new ones.

Many of her friends went back to school, often pursuing nursing or education degrees.

She said some of her friends went back to school just because they were spooked by the markets.

Mealer said it was difficult to watch her friends in grad school while she was working in a mall. She said her mom is a teacher, and there were times when she considered switching into education.

“That definitely would have been the easy way out for me personally,” Mealer said. “I would have been fine at it for sure, but I know I’ve had a very fruitful career so far — I love what I do. Looking back, it would have been such a wrong turn for me.”

Lovejoy said it is a common trend for more students to attend graduate school during a recession. He said this is a good potential path, but only if students are doing it for the right reasons.

“If a student enters a graduate program just as a place to park but they’re not really

Lovejoy said he often advises students that 80% of their time job searching should be spent forming relationships and networking.

Only 20% should consist of actually filling out applications.

He said this advice holds true especially during an economic downturn. Since there are fewer job openings, building connections with alumni before applying can help students stand out among many job candidates.

Mealer said as an employer and IU alumna, she gets excited when IU grads apply to work at her office.

“Use your network,” Mealer said. “Indiana is the greatest place. I’ve always found alumni to be so helpful and encouraging and responsive and wanting to help.”

Lovejoy said the Walter Center has created a virtual tool to help students in the College of Arts and Sciences get in touch with alumni. Students can search for jobs and locations they see themselves in and can be connected with IU alumni who hold similar positions.

“Employers, if they’re not hiring currently, they will be hiring eventually,” Lovejoy said.

Tip #5: Stay positive — “This too shall pass” Tackett said patience is important for students starting their careers in tough economic circumstances.

“Be patient, build your résumé even if it is some part time jobs,” Tackett said.

“Know that you’re getting better, know that you’re learning, and that it will get better. You gotta keep digging and work hard.”

Kurth said the COVID-19 crisis is bringing people together more than the Great Recession did.

“There seems to be a very apparent adversary that is being fought in the virus,” Kurth said. “Communities are becoming stronger in some ways.”

Mealer said it’s important for students to not get discouraged by setbacks.

“Don’t let something like the recession discourage you from your ultimate goal,” Mealer said. “This too shall pass, and it always will.”

2020 marks 15th anniversary of Indiana’s red flag law

By Cate Charron catcharr@iu.edu | @catecharron

This year marks the 15th anniversary of the Jake Laird Law, or Indiana’s red flag law.

The law, passed in May 2005, allows police departments to temporarily confiscate firearms from people who are deemed dangerous or mentally ill and pose an imminent risk to themselves or others, according to the Indiana State Police website.

Bloomington Police Department Capt. Ryan Pedigo said in an email that the department uses the law about two or three times a year.

BPD usually gets tips from concerned friends or family members who know someone has access to firearms.

“I certainly believe that laws such as the Laird Law have decreased violent acts by removing firearms from dangerous persons,” Pedigo said in the email.

The law stipulates that police must prove a person is dangerous and in possession of a firearm in order to obtain a warrant to take the weapon away. Officers can prove this by describing their interactions with the individual who is allegedly dangerous or with another person who the officer deems as credible.

The court must then decide whether there is enough evi-

dence to grant the warrant.

It cannot be calculated how many times the law has stopped people from using firearms violently, Pedigo said.

He compared it to a police car on the highway: People will slow down and abide by traffic laws, but it’s unknown how many infractions were prevented.

Connecticut was the first state to pass a red flag law in 1999. At least 17 states and Washington, D.C., have passed a red flag law as of 2019, and many are considering it. Many states passed such laws after the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, according to the Indiana State Police website.

Vice President Mike Pence said in 2019 that Indiana’s red flag law could be an example for other states and replicated across the country to prevent gun violence, according to Fox 59.

The law was passed in response to the 2004 death of Indianapolis police officer Timothy “Jake” Laird.

He was killed after a man was able to retrieve his seized firearms after leaving emergency detention at St. Francis Hospital, according to the Indiana State Police website.

The man, Kenneth An-

derson, went on a shooting rampage armed with a rifle and two handguns on August 18, 2004. He killed his mother in the shooting, and when police responded he shot five officers, killing Laird and injuring the other four.

“It was just an incredible tragedy not only in our city but in our state,” Rep. Susan W. Brooks, R-5thDistrict, said in an interview with the Indiana Daily Student.

Brooks spoke at Laird’s funeral and became friends with his family. Brooks said she’s working to make red flag laws federal legislation. She introduced the Jake Laird Act of 2019 to the House on May 16, 2019.

“In many ways, Indiana was ahead of its time,” Brooks said.

Brooks said the law is another tool for police departments to use to promote a safer environment. She said police officers have been trained to use the law and to use their best judgment when deciding whether or not to confiscate someone’s firearms.

“I have tremendous faith in our law enforcement to use their discretion as to when to use a law like this,” Brooks said.

Brooks said the law has been used many times for

suicide prevention.

In a 2018 University of Indianapolis study, researchers found a 7.5% reduction in firearms suicide in Indiana during the 10year period since the law’s enactment.

Brooks said one reason she believes the Jake Laird Law does not infringe on Second Amendment rights is that a person can dispute their case in court.

“Most of the red flag laws are striking the right balance of upholding the Constitution and protecting Second Amendment rights,” Brooks said.

IU Maurer School of Law professor Tim Morrison said a person may have the right to own a gun, but subject to limitations.

Morrison said the Jake Laird Law should only be used in special cases and with suffi-

cient evidence.

He said people who own guns are protected from having them taken away arbitrarily because the court system has to verify the evidence was sufficient for the person’s firearms to be taken away.

“This is something that shouldn’t be done routinely, taking any person’s property without a really good reason,” Morrison said.

IU classes of 1920, 2020 both graduated during pivotal moments in history

By Claudia Gonzalez-Diaz clabgonz@iu.edu | @clabgonz

The IU campus was beautiful and homey in 1920, said James Capshew, IU historian and professor. It was small, occupying about 30 acres of land, and its 2,300 students could all gather in Dunn’s Woods at the same time. It was big enough to meet new people, but small enough to know everyone, Capshew said.

In its first hundred years, IU grew from a small state seminary to a university with multiple schools. While IU was founded in 1820, its first class of four men graduated in 1830. It grew from 10 male students in 1825 to more than 2,000 in 1920, a third of whom were women. A year earlier, Frances Marshall became the first black woman to graduate from IU. Fewer than 400 students graduated during the 1920 centennial commencement, which like other ceremonies and graduations, marked a significant moment in time, Capshew said.

“They were on their way, somewhere,” Capshew said about the graduates, staff and faculty. “It wasn’t the modern university that we know now, but the seeds were there.”

The campus was focused on growing its number of professional schools and educating its students for both general and professional purposes, Capshew said. To commemorate this, the first centennial commencement lasted six days. Ivy L. Chamness, IU graduate in 1906 and mentor, detailed each day in the “IU Centennial Memorial Volume,” a book about IU’s first hundred years of history published in 1921.

“Everyone was happy to be there,” Chamness wrote. “And in the joy of meeting old friends and of seeing the campus again, forgot even such absorbing topics as the league of nations, the high cost of living and the political conventions.”

The university celebrated with baseball games against the University of Notre Dame, Purdue University and IU faculty members against students. There was a community songfest, a centennial pageant and end-of-day receptions throughout the week, starting on May 30, 1920.

Since it was raining on June 4, 1920, the commencement took place inside the Men’s Gymnasium instead of the amphitheater that used to exist in a ravine where the Chemistry Building and Wylie Hall are now.

Chamness said the advantage of an indoor commencement was that the audience could hear the speakers much better. Speakers included David Starr Jordan, John Merle Coulter, Joseph Swain and William Lowe Bryan, the seventh, eighth, ninth and 10th IU presidents, respectively.

Bryan’s address to the senior class was titled “Paradise.”

It was about feeling success in triumph, losing it during times of struggle and finding it again by fearlessly confronting the worst in life.

“Nevertheless – it is possible to know the worst and not be a pessimist – to meet the worst without fear, without surrender,” Bryan read to the graduates.

These graduates may have celebrated their accomplishments where BuffaLouie’s is now, Capshew said, a popular hangout spot for students. Drinking would have been illegal because of the Prohibition, a national ban on the production and sale of alcoholic beverages from 1920 to 1933.

One hundred years later, the University planned to celebrate its bicentennial for a year, rather than six days. IU awarded actor Viola Davis with an honorary doctorate of fine arts, rang the new IU grand carillon and invited actor Laverne Cox to speak. But all in-person activities planned between March 20 and July 11 were canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The 1920 graduates had overcome similar challenges.

Two years prior, World War I had ended, and the 1918 flu Pandemic had begun, causing the campus to close Oct. 10, 1918. Classes resumed Nov. 4, 1918.

Whether or not they realized it, the classes of 1920 and 2020 graduated during years that marked significant historical change, Capshew said. It’s a hard thing to conceptualize, but today’s graduates are part of a pivotal moment in history that might become a reference point for the time before the pandemic, and after, he said. The year 1920 marked the time before and after the war and the pandemic.

“We’re getting into another situation where there’s going to be a big before and after,” Capshew said. “This will go down in history not just because of the bicentennial, but because of the pandemic.”

“Our cohort is pretty close and everything, and it’s just really hard to not be able to celebrate with my cohort this achievement we’ve had,” she said.

Cassiday Moriarity Cassiday Moriarity is graduating with a bachelor’s degree in public affairs. She will be returning to Bloomington in the fall to pursue a master's degree in public affairs and environmental science. She is also interviewing for an internship with the United States Forest Service.

plans because she chose to walk at graduation in December, thinking spring would be busy. But she was going to attend the Paul H. O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs ceremony in the spring to show off her school to her extended family.

high school is what my family needed to see,” she said.

“They knew once I graduated high school, I was going to do great things. I wasn’t going to give up.”

Moriarity moved to Indianapolis after her mother died when she was in high school. She attended Plainfield High School, which offered college visits, giving her the opportunity to visualize college more clearly.

She graduated a year early from high school, so she had less time to choose which college to go to than most high schoolers.

“I was the child that was told I was going to college no matter what,” Moriarity said.

“I was more academically inclined, so that was my plan anyway.”

Throughout college, Moriarity worked many hours.

She was also involved in many clubs and groups on campus, including being president of Read Residence Hall, holding positions in IU Student Government and participating in IU Dance Marathon.

She said she feels more sad about the time she lost than for graduation. She wanted to celebrate Little 500 because she said going

to the race during her junior year was one of her favorite memories. She turned 21 this April, so she never got to go out to a college bar with her friends.

“I definitely feel for everyone else,” she said. “I do have friends that are graduating.

This was supposed to be their moment.”

Ciara Lynch Ciara Lynch’s graduation is going to look different than what she and her parents had planned.

Her parents, who immigrated from Ireland about 30 years ago, were going to come to Bloomington and watch her graduate, but now they’ll just celebrate with cake at home. She said graduation was just as much for her parents as it was for her.

“It was going to be really exciting for me to be able to share that with them because they’ve worked hard their whole life so that I could do things that they couldn’t do,” Lynch said.

Her parents love visiting Bloomington and know all the bars. She feels like they get to live their college experience they didn’t have when they visit.

Lynch, who is an exercise

science major, plans to take a gap year and then pursue a master's degree in nursing.

Attending college was always the goal that her parents and her high school in Chicago pushed her to attain, though she thinks her father, who is a water department operating engineer, would have been supportive if she decided to attend trade school instead.

She wasn't planning on going to IU when she first visited, but after being offered financial aid, she considered it more seriously. She decided to visit for a second time, which solidified her decision.

“I had this very cliche moment standing under the Sample Gates where I just had this feeling in my gut,” Lynch said.

While attending IU, she also worked at a day care, was a member of Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority and rode in the Little 500.

Her piece of advice is to never take no for an answer.

She said there is always another scholarship or another person who can help you.

“Keep your head up and keep working, and you’ll accomplish whatever you are working towards,” she said.

‘Senior one-and-done’ Adrian Chapman’s journey from the HPER to Assembly Hall

By Matt Cohen mdc1@iu.edu | @Matt_Cohen_

Moments after he’d gotten the call he had dreamed of and prayed for, Adrian Chapman stepped out of his car and walked into a KFC. Chapman, an IU senior, had just left church for the KFC near College Mall in October 2019, to get lunch. People asked the 6-foot-2-inch Chapman if he was on the basketball team wherever he went during his first three years at IU. At Kroger, people would ask him to get an item off the top shelf.

But those who saw Chapman were always disappointed to learn he wasn’t one of the candy stripe-wearing players they watched at Assembly Hall.

Or at least until that afternoon when he walked into KFC. Almost immediately upon entering, a child asked Chapman if he was on the basketball team.

For the first time, he could answer yes. * * * Chapman thought his basketball career was over when he took off his high school uniform for the final time.

He was always the fastest kid on his football and basketball teams. To the surprise of some close to him, Chapman picked basketball as a sport to focus on as he began high school.

He went to Brownsburg High School in Brownsburg, Indiana, and made it onto the varsity squad by the end of his freshman year. He rarely played varsity in his first year, but his speed and 3-point shooting ability, made him a key piece going forward.

Until he hurt his knee — injuring his tibia tuberosity, he said — while working out with his dad.

Chapman missed most of his sophomore year and saw players he jumped ahead of as a freshman catch up to him.

He was a role player as a junior — used only for his 3-point shooting — and never saw a flurry of college offers. After a high school career that never lived up to expectations, Chapman had one last shot.

“I think my junior year is what gave me motivation to work hard that summer,” Chapman said. “I came back my senior year. That’s when I came back and became captain. I think I had a good season, but I didn’t get quite the exposure I wanted to that year. From that point on I assumed my basketball career was over.”

Chapman averaged 8.6 points per game as a senior. He thought he was better than Division III offers, he just wasn’t able to prove it.

Hanover College would’ve been Chapman’s choice. His fast-paced style of play and shooting ability fit the style the coaches there wanted to play.

But Chapman grew up going to games at Assembly Hall. He grew up an IU fan.

Besides, he was burnt out by basketball. He didn’t want to have the grueling

schedule of a student athlete just to play in a high school-sized gym. He wanted to be with his friends.

So Chapman gave up basketball. He chose Bloomington. * * * On IU’s campus, at the top of a steep driveway through the side doors of the Intramural Center, are 10 basketball courts.

Under yellow lighting, each court features 10 sweaty students running back and forth, clanking shots off the rim and pretending to look like their favorite NBA stars or relive their high school glory days.

Chapman was there Tuesday and Sunday nights after his classes playing competitive intramural games and pick-up games just like any other student.

But when Chapman was on the floor, everyone knew it.

“I think when you go up the HPER, most people knew who I was when I walked in,” Chapman said. “Whenever I was playing up there, I felt like I was above the competition I was playing at.”

Chapman played with his church team in competitive intramural leagues through his first three years at IU. Even exhausted from basketball after high school, a part of him always missed it.

He remembers half-court shots and championship games against his roommate, Zack McKeown, the head manager for the IU men’s basketball team. He remembers missing the game-winning shot against McKeown’s intramural team and questioning his choice to come to IU as Hanover went to the Elite 8 in 2017.

He remembers being told that he should try out for the basketball team. His friends and opponents were serious, but Chapman had never thought much of it.

He was used to being mistaken as a basketball player walking around campus or down Kirkwood Avenue.

Even amid the monotony of his nights in the IC, where results don’t define you and there are no Adidas backpacks or sweatshirts to differentiate athletes, Chapman stood out. * * * Chapman only had one chance.

It was his senior year and he was preparing to complete his degree in Safety Management. But this year, he had decided he would take his shot.

“I think it really hit me that my chance of ever playing college basketball would be over after I graduated,” Chapman said.

“If not now, then it will never happen.”

Chapman kept it a virtual secret he was trying out for the team. He didn’t tell McKeown. He felt his skill set was good enough to make it, but he wasn’t confident. He worked two jobs — a cashier at TIS Bookstore and mixing chemicals in Dr. Heather Hundley’s lab — and didn’t want to quit either.

Hundley said Chapman was the “cook in the kitchen” in the lab. He would mix

chemicals to prepare for other students in the lab. Hundley estimates he prepared thousands of mixtures over his three years in the lab.

“Things about Adrian that stand out: He has a smile on his face every day,” Hundley said. “He is extremely polite. He has wonderful work ethic. I think it was our great fortune to hire him.”

Chapman and two co-workers were all tall, and Hundley joked that they could have a lab basketball team. Chapman and Hundley talked occasionally about basketball, but he didn’t mention the tryouts until he had made the first rounds of cuts.

Through it all, Chapman remained humble. Even as he made it past a few rounds of cuts, Chapman was never truly confident he would make the team.

He told Hundley he was going to keep going, but that it was unlikely he would ever be selected.

Hundley held Chapman’s job at the lab for him just in case he needed it back.

But he prayed every day he would make the team. He prayed to work as hard as he could. He prayed to not be scared.

“That’s what held me back from trying out in the first place was fear,” Chapman said. “I was like, ‘If it’s meant to be then it’s meant to be, but if not, I’ll just go on with my senior year.’”

And as he pulled into the KFC parking lot, his phone started ringing. He was told he was getting his locker. His prayers were answered.

“It’s an amazing opportunity to play at a Big Ten school as a walk-on,” Hundley said. “What’s a better way to end your senior year?” * * * They called him “Turbo.”

Chapman has always gone by a nickname. Growing up it was AC. Suddenly he was being called Turbo in practice.

Chapman accelerated during a drill in the late stages of tryouts — with the scholarship players — sprinting down the floor to receive a pass from a coach waiting on the opposite end.

“You must be fast, aren’t you?” IU strength coach Cliff Marshall said. “I’m going to start calling you ‘Turbo’ you’re going so fast!”

The nickname stuck. He was becoming part of the team.

It didn’t hit Chapman when he got his locker or put on his jersey for the first time. He could now walk around campus in his own athletics gear, and respond yes when asked if he was on the team. His professors would always ask about the game the night before or what it’s like being on the team.

He had gone to games with student season tickets for his first three years.

Now, he was on the floor itself wearing the red script Indiana jacket and famous candy stripe pants like the players he’d cheered on for so many years.

Senior guard Adrian Chapman stands with his family March 7 at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

Chapman walked on to the IU men’s basketball team as a senior.

Now, he was one of them.

Chapman checked in for the first time against Western Illinois, the first game of IU’s season on Nov. 5. He was ready when head coach Archie Miller called on him to run over to the scorer’s table. He thought he would get a chance with IU leading by over 30 points in the final minute.

He got one attempt at a shot, catching the ball near the top of the 3-point arc. He used his speed to drive past his defender, switching to his left hand for the reverse lay-up. He had a good look, but he was nervous and missed the shot — his only shot attempt of his IU career.

His parents came to almost every game, even knowing it was unlikely their son would come in the game.

Chapman’s role was mostly in practice, helping the scholarships players prepare for the upcoming games. In some ways, it was a role similar to the preparation job he has in the lab.

And on March 7, Chapman and his family all stood together on the floor of Assembly Hall, the arena they had grown up coming to, for Chapman’s senior day.

That moment was one Chapman had never envisioned for himself in his first three years.

Chapman and his family stood next to his framed No. 15 jersey to the applause of the remaining fans in the building. He didn’t get the roar of applause that fellow seniors De’Ron Davis and Devonte Green received, but he didn’t expect to. Chapman knew the experience was something few people had — being honored as part of the biggest sport at their dream school.

“We probably got more out of him than he’s gotten out of it for himself,” Miller said to the crowd. “Adrian did a great job of joining us, adding a lot of value to what we tried to do to make our staff have an easier life on the practice floor, and he continues to this day to have an unbelievable attitude. He’s been nothing but a joy to be around, and we’re thankful for this last season in general that he joined us.”

Chapman said being part of a team again was among his favorite parts of the year. He missed that since high school, and didn’t find it the same way with intramural games. He said he’ll remember all the hours he spent hanging out with the team in Bloomington or in hotels on trips. Those moments made all the work, knowing he would almost never play, worth it.

On his journey from the IC basketball courts, Hundley’s lab and the everyday life of any other student to a member of a historic Big Ten basketball team, Chapman summed it all up with a joke he made with his parents.

“I’m the first ever senior one- and-done.”

SENIORS

Senior athletes receive awards for achievement

By Tyler Tachman ttachman@iu.edu | @Tyler_T15

The IU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics celebrated the Spirit of Indiana Showcase on April 27 via Facebook Live. Despite limitations on social gatherings due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 10th annual ceremony acknowledged the achievements of more than 50 student-athletes.

Director’s Award: Brenna Wise, basketball, and Nick Westbrook, football Wise and Westbrook received the Director’s Award, given by Vice President and Director of Athletics Fred Glass to two seniors who best exemplified the mantra, “24

Sports, 1 Team.”

After redshirting the 2017-18 season following her transfer from the University of Pittsburgh, Wise started all 66 games for IU women’s basketball. As a junior, Wise topped the Big Ten with a 91.6 free throw percentage while netting four double-doubles. She also led her team in rebounds and 3-point percentage.

Wise’s efforts manifested in the win column during her senior campaign, with the Hoosiers totaling a program-record 24 victories. Although IU was denied a chance to contend in the NCAA Tournament, it proved itself against top-tier competition. This included a 71-57 victory over then-

No. 5 University of South Carolina, wherein Wise scored 16 points.

In the classroom, Wise concluded her career with a 3.89 GPA and a degree in professional sales and marketing.

In his time with IU football, Westbrook saw action in 52 games as a wide receiver — a feat previously unaccomplished by any other player. He corralled a total of 144 receptions for 2,226 yards and 16 scores. Westbrook was the Hoosiers’ premiere wideout in 2018 with 590 yards.

School record books feature Westbrook’s name as sixth in catches and seventh in both yardage and touchdowns. He is just the seventh

Hoosier to reach 125 receptions and 2,000 yards.

Westbrook also collected four Academic All-Big Ten recognitions and graduated in December 2019 with a degree in business marketing.

Jake Gimble Award: Sean Caulfield, soccer The Jake Gimble Award is given to a male senior displaying exemplary “scholarship, athletic performance and mental attitude.” In more than 14 hours protecting the net for the Hoosiers, Caulfield allowed only eight goals.

His senior accolades include a combined seven saves in double-overtime victories against Pittsburgh and the University of Cali-

fornia, Los Angeles. He logged his first shutout versus Seattle University and clinched another against Sacramento State University with six saves.

Caulfield also leaves Bloomington as a recipient of three Academic All-Big Ten awards.

Big Ten Medal of Honor: Emily Powell, water polo The Big Ten Medal of Honor has been granted to 28 of the nearly 10,000 Big Ten student athletes every year since 1915. A two-time water polo team captain, Powell tallied 37 goals, 59 assists and 69 steals for the Hoosiers. Her play in 2020 contributed to wins over ranked opponents such as

Pacific University, Marist College and the University of California, Davis.

Powell’s leadership roles extended beyond the pool.

She represented IU water polo on the Athletic Director’s Council on Diversity and Inclusion, which met regularly with Glass.

A member of the honors society Chi Alpha Sigma, Powell earned academic recognition from the Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches, Collegiate Water Polo Association and Mountain Pacific Sports Federation.

The Brisbane, Australia, native intends to continue her studies in the field of law back in her Oceanic homeland.

‘I’m ready for that next chapter’: Cal Krueger walks away

By Tyler Tachman ttachman@iu.edu | @Tyler_T15

If the IU baseball season wasn’t canceled, senior Cal Krueger wouldn’t have proposed to his girlfriend. At least not yet.

In late March, Krueger took his girlfriend Sarah Ackerman to his grandmother’s farm in Jasper, Indiana. Overlooking a pond, the IU senior pitched an idea, rather than a baseball.

He lowered his knee instead of raising it. In his hand was an engagement ring for his girlfriend of seven years.

Soon after, the couple posed in front of a yellow cutout banner that read, “She said yes,” with coffee mugs printed with cursive “soon to be Mr.” and “soon to be Mrs.” perched in front of them.

“I’m ready for that next chapter of life,” Krueger said.

For his next stage, Krueger decided to give up something that he has never been without — baseball.

On March 12, the NCAA announced that all collegiate competitions would be canceled for the rest of the school year due to the coronavirus pandemic. For winter sports, it meant wrestling championships and March Madness wouldn’t take place. For spring sports such as baseball, it meant losing more than half a season.

The IU baseball team practiced earlier that day before receiving the news that their season was over.

“It hit you like a freight train,” Krueger said.

An uncertain future became clearer March 30. The NCAA extended an extra year of eligibility to athletes in spring sports, giving seniors another chance to compete. But Krueger had already made up his mind.

“All of us, especially the seniors, are in different stages of our lives,” Krueger said.

Krueger sat down with his family and told them it was time to move on from baseball. He graduated on Friday

with an exercise science degree, and IU doesn’t have the graduate program he’s looking for. If he stayed to play an extra year of baseball, he’d need to pay the tuitionthat wasn’t covered by his scholarships for classes he didn’t need. He said he also felt like he was losing his drive in the sport, and playing time wasn’t guaranteed.

Krueger’s decision meant he would leave behind the game that has been with him his whole life. When he was less than a year old, he wobbled in the dugout of Jasper High School, where his father Blake coached. A picture of him gripping a state championship trophy hangs on the wall of the Krueger house.

When Krueger committed to IU, he didn’t know how much he’d be on the field.

“He said ‘either way I’m going to come out of it with an IU degree,’” his father said.

As it turned out, Krueger

was selected to the 2017 Big Ten all freshman team.

He posted a team best 2.82 ERA over 60.2 innings. He finished the year with a 5-2 record in 22 appearances, including six starts. That summer, he earned a spot in the Cape Cod League, collegiate baseball’s premier summer circuit, which is a pipeline for future draft picks.

In 2018, Krueger pitched exclusively out of the bullpen. In 27 games, he upped his wins to seven with a 3.02 ERA. He struck out 49 batters in 44.2 innings. In the summer, he traveled back to the Cape Cod league, cementing his professional aspirations.

In his junior year, Krueger helped the program transition to first-year head coach Jeff Mercer. During the season, his numbers declined, only pitching in 18 total innings. His struggles made his professional hopes seem more distant.

Krueger had worked with former professional players and knew that chasing his baseball dream would include a demanding lifestyle of long bus rides and a limited income. Only a small percentage of players would see their aspirations to play at the highest level come to fruition.

But that year he made the Big Ten all-academic team and was part of a Hoosier squad that won the regular season conference title.

That spring, Krueger remembers being wide eyed and taking in the scene at the NCAA regional in Louisville, Kentucky.

“Wow, guys,” he said.

“Look what we’re able to do.”

He spent countless hours with his teammates making memories he will never forget, while also tallying a 3.75 GPA. This season, the team returned from a road trip to North Alabama at 7 a.m.

Krueger had class at 9 a.m.

“When we’re practicing and traveling, things can go a mile a minute,” Krueger said. “I wish I could slow things down and appreciate them more.”

Krueger was on the diamond with his best friends.

That’s what he’ll miss the most.

It’s over now.

Krueger is hanging up the cleats and will focus on his future with his fiance and career. His goal is to work as a personal trainer or a physical therapist. When he finds a job, his newfound time will enable him to log hours in practice and boost his resume. Eventually, he may enroll in graduate school.

Krueger’s career path seemed obvious for two reasons — he has always enjoyed exercising, and he’s invested in helping others.

When he’d come home to Jasper, Krueger would show up at local little league and upper-level practices. He volunteered in reading pro-

Congratulations Class of 2020!

Your commitment to yourself, your education, and, most importantly, to each other, is inspiring and has brought you to this auspicious moment.

grams at schools. One week ago, he joined a surprise Zoom birthday party for an elementary school kid that knew Krueger growing up.

“Any kid that comes up, he’ll talk to them like he’s their best buddy,” his father said.

During the quarantine, he’s been leading his family through workouts. At home, the family only has one set of 10-pound dumbbells and one strength band, so Krueger has to get creative.

He’s also been giving pitching lessons to kids.

If the Hoosier baseball season wasn’t canceled, Krueger wouldn’t have been able to plan a proposal in March. He wouldn’t have been able to shift his focus to his future beyond baseball.

“He has the best part of his life coming up,” his father said.

On the horizon is June 26, 2021. Not the date of the major league draft, but the wedding day for Cal and Sarah.

ABBY’S ANSWERS

MOVIE STILLS DATABASE

Actresses Michelle Krusiec and Laura Harrier act in the television series “Hollywood.” Krusiec’s character is a portrayal of Chinese American actress Anna May Wong.

Anna May Wong deserves better than Ryan Murphy’s ‘Hollywood’ Abby Malala is a senior in cinema studies.

I was ecstatic about the premise of Ryan Murphy’s latest show, “Hollywood.”

An alternate history of the highly-glamorized post-war era of film featuring women, gay people and people of color sounds like something right up my alley.

But the storyline (or lack thereof ) of a fictionalized version of real-life Chinese American actress Anna May Wong left me disenchanted and hurt. Murphy attempted to rescue an Asian icon whose legacy was infamously erased from Hollywood

history, but the show barely includes her in her own redemption. It’s ironic and telling of how out of touch the show is with its own message.

The second installment of the seven-episode series introduces Wong, played by Michelle Krusiec, via Darren Criss’s character, Filipino American film director Raymond Ainsley. Ainsley reaches out to Wong about a potential role and confides in her that as a fellow Asian American, he wants to see the industry change to be more inclusive of people like them.

Ainsley is also apologetic

BREWSTER ROCKIT: SPACE GUY!

about Wong having lost the lead role in the 1937 film adaptation of Pearl S. Buck’s “The Good Earth,” which is odd considering it happened over ten years before the episode takes place.

But this is something the show didn’t entirely make up. In reality, Wong did actually lose the lead role of O-lan in the film adaptation of “The Good Earth” to German actress Luise Rainer.

Rainer performed the role in yellowface, later winning an Academy Award, a moment captured in the show.

Something the show neglects to include is that Wong lost the role not just because

of the studio’s potential individual racism, but as a result of systemic racism. The Hays Code, a set of “moral guidelines” film studios adhered to from 1934 to 1968, prevented on-screen miscegenation.

This means that because a white actor was already cast to play O-lan’s husband, Wong never had a chance at being cast.

“Hollywood” attempts to correct this injustice by giving Wong a supporting role in Ainsley’s new film, “Meg,” while several newcomers are given leads.

After the second episode, we don’t see much of Wong — she doesn’t really interact

with any of the other characters and even when she wins an Oscar for her performance in “Meg,” her moment in the spotlight is brief and barely even about her.

In her sixty seconds of screen time, Wong thanks the nearly all-white production team behind the film and delivers a line that simply doesn’t sit well with my soul: “You gave my life purpose again.”

The line embodies the issue with Murphy’s version of Wong. Here is a woman whose career was permanently stifled by the racist guidelines of the Hays Code and discriminatory casting

practices of film studios, and she uses her special moment to praise the white saviors who finally let her squeeze her foot in the door.

My advice to white showrunners such as Murphy is to not attempt to revise the racist history of old Hollywood only to feed into the problems with Asian representation that still persists today.

It’s sad to see that decades after her death, Wong still doesn’t get to be the leading lady, even in a storyline that’s supposed to be about her. abbridge@iu.edu

KAILYN’S COMMENTS

COURTESY PHOTO

Kailyn Hilycord poses for a photo near the Louvre Pyramid in Paris, France.

While graduation wasn’t what I expected, I’m still grateful Kailyn Hilycord (she/her) is a senior studying journalism, English and music. She plans to pursue graduate studies in journalism.

For the class of 2020, graduation resembles nothing like what we pictured at the beginning of the academic year. Even though students have to celebrate remotely and graduation ceremonies are online it does not mean that we cannot recognize our accomplishments with peers and loved ones.

The coronavirus ruined plans for graduating classes across the globe by postponing or canceling commencements, or even transforming them into virtual celebrations.

We should use our platforms to celebrate others and ourselves now more than ever, particularly during this distressing time where we need to celebrate the big and the small things. It is especially my duty as a journalist and fellow student to influ-

ence others to use their connections and platforms to commemorate one another.

There are several institutions and individuals that I would love to thank in hope that others find them just as beneficial as I did.

First is the Groups Scholars Program. Since its inception in 1968, the program has supported underrepresented, first-generation students with academic, social and financial resources for them to achieve their potential and earn a bachelor’s degree.

The program involves a summer term of classes before the student’s freshman year at IU. It provides structure for the students, academic advising and tutoring and social events that influence growth and preparation for college academia before the fall when an overwhelming thousands of students flood onto campus.

Without this program, I would not be where I am today.

Staff such as Associate Director Samuel R. Young II, Director Mary Stephenson, Zilia Balkansky-Sellés, who was an academic advisor but is now the Extracurricular Coordinator for the Hutton Honors College, and English department Lecturer L. Anne Delgado had such a profound effect on my undergraduate experience. Because of them, and the program itself, I am a more responsible, motivated, considerate, empathetic, passionate and punctual individual.

My first major was English, and I was fortunate to start and end my time at IU with this department. The faculty provided the enthusiasm, relevance, articulation and support that I hope to give to my own peers, fellow journalists and possible students some day.

They also emphasized the importance of words, heart, history and education. These teachings will remain with me as long as I am able to

write.

Along with this, I added a certificate in Rock & Roll History. Yes, you read that correctly. The Jacobs School of Music has a beloved, highly underrated music history department, which contains some of the most valuable courses and faculty that the university has to offer.

Professor Glenn Gass and Senior Lecturer Andrew Hollinden, educators that should be praised more often, provide courses on subjects such as the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix and do so with the passion and care that every educator should have.

Their attitudes, free spirits and zeal struck me as soon as I sat down in their classrooms and have forever changed my appreciation, love and awareness of music and the world.

Shortly after my arrival at IU, my interests lead to adding journalism as my second major. The Media School deserves more credit than it is given. The facilities, equip-

ment, staff and faculty provide such resources, expertise and guidance that students are bound to succeed and grow.

I found that the teachings, and drives of several faculty have and will influence me throughout my studies and career.

All three institutions ignite ardor, open potential and bring forth much needed awareness of the world, people and opportunities around us.

Education, and the success, trials and errors that encompass it, can still be celebrated this year. The time for gratitude, self-appreciation and celebration is now. As long as we have ourselves and communication, that is enough.

This is a time to be more grateful for what we had, and what we have now. If one good thing comes out of the pandemic, let it be recognizing growth, gratitude and self-love.

TEA TIME WITH RACHEL CAMBRON

COURTESY PHOTO

Rachel Cambron poses for a graduation photo on IU’s campus.

Students are valid in mourning the loss of graduation ceremonies Rachel Cambron (she/her or they/them) is a senior studying English. She also writes poetry in her spare time.

I’ve spent the past month or so in my home reminiscing on my years at IU-Bloomington.

My journey is coming to its end: I’m finally graduating!

But with COVID-19, the idea of celebrating seem off-putting. I’m graduating into an economic recession, during a pandemic. My plans to move out of state to Olympia, Washington, are likely going to be

affected because of the crisis.

Not to mention finding a job while most employees are either laid off or working from home is going to be extremely difficult. It would have been nice to have a celebration commemorating my academic successes before these realities hit.

Many IU seniors are planning their own ways to commemorate graduation and celebrating in appropriate ways following social distancing guidelines.

To miss a whole ceremony though, one that celebrates all

of our hard work and accomplishments we’ve made in college, really is worth mourning, especially with everything we have faced so far, and will face in the future.

In these uncertain times, celebration seems wrong, even though it could lighten spirits — however, it’s understandable why graduation was really canceled, health is the most important thing.

One of my roommates and I made plans to have our own graduation ceremony: photos and a party consisting of our household of three. I still have

a graduation cap, although admittedly I just purchased a simple black one online for less than $10. I am excited for the celebration we have planned — I view my roommates and I as a family — but I do wish that my own family could visit.

Yes, there is virtual graduationfor some schools, but that’s not nearly as rewarding as a real ceremony. It’s just upsetting that my final semester of senior year was interrupted by a pandemic, my last memories to be formed within my own home or around

the neighborhood — six feet apart from everyone else.

Surely we will all still have a good time and make the most out of a horrible situation, but as seniors we are allowed to mourn our graduation ceremony. Growing up in a college town, I remember seeing grads take photos every May and was excited to do the same and have a day all for my academic accomplishments.

So for all of the other seniors mourning their graduation: Make your own memories and celebrate graduation in a new way.

Jesse Eisenberg, Anna Strout support Middle Way House

By Lizzie Kaboski lkaboski@iu.edu | @lizziebowbizzie

Domestic violence hotlines across the country receive over 20,000 calls daily, an average of about 15 calls every minute.

Due to COVID-19, families are isolated and victims of violence are quarantined with abusers. Therefore, calls have increased and domestic violence is on the rise.

At the Middle Way House, a local organization that supports victims of intimate partner violence and human trafficking, the situation is no different.

“People are quarantined together,” Anna Strout, a program producer and volunteer at the Middle Way House said. “I was speaking with the shelter this morning, and stats show that calls are up at the shelter.”

The Middle Way House provides services to victims of intimate partner violence and human trafficking. Services Middle Way House provides include shelter, a 24-hour crisis hotline, legal advocacy, support groups, child care and job placement services to all genders.

Despite the pandemic, the shelter is still operating 365 days a year, seven days a week, 24 hours a day in a disclosed location across from the police station on 338 S. Washington St. They have two housing centers, the 30-bed New Wings Emergency Shelter for temporary crisis housing and the Rise, a transitional housing center that accommodates 28 families.

Strout, a Bloomington native, began volunteering at the Middle Way House when she was 14 under the guidance of her late mother Toby, who served as the executive director for 30 years.

Today, Anna and her husband, actor Jesse Eisenberg, live in Bloomington and dedicate their time to working at the shelter. The couple and their 3-year-old son have been living in Bloomington for the past month after self-isolating in an RV for two weeks while traveling from Los Angeles.

Eisenberg, who is known for his Academy Awardnominated portrayal of Mark

Zuckerberg in “The Social Network,” grew up in New Jersey and had never heard of Bloomington before he met Strout. He said he’s in awe of the community-minded citizens and creativity that is present in the town.

“It felt like a well-kept secret,” he said. “Bloomington seems to be made up of some of the most civically minded, socially engaged citizenry.”

Eisenberg took his affinity for Bloomington and wrote a book for Audible that will be narrated by himself, actress Kaitlyn Dever and actor Finn Wolfhard. It takes place on the campus of IU in 2002.

There are plans for a movie adaptation as well, produced

by Emma Stone and starring Julianne Moore, Eisenberg, Dever and Wolfhard.

His involvement with the Middle Way House started with Strout and her mother, who he said ran the organization in a way that was egalitarian.

“I’d never seen a nonprofit work so efficiently,” Eisenberg said. “It was empowering to the community and the people who pass through the shelter.”

He has spent his time at the shelter doing more tangible tasks like painting, cleaning and disinfecting, allowing him to feel more useful.

“Sometimes I feel inadequate just doing interviews about it or just giving money,” Eisenberg said. “I want to be helpful in a more direct way.”

Eisenberg recently made a $50,000 donation to the organization after family friend Amy Schumer, comedian and actress, did the same. Strout, Eisenberg and Schumer filmed a public service announcement to raise awareness and distribute the National Domestic Violence hotline number that will be released Monday on Instagram.

Global organization GivingTuesday organized a giving day in response to COVID-19. This is in addition to the organization’s annual Giving Tuesday on Dec. 1.

Strout said it’s a great opportunity to support the Middle Way House and other organizations in need.

The Middle Way House is collaborating with local busi-

nesses such as the Inkwell Bakery and Cafe, Primary Inspired Eats and the People’s Cooperative Market to raise money for the organization. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to support the Middle Way House. In addition to making donations, a wish list of items that the Middle Way House needs is available on their website.

Abbey Stemler, owner of the Inkwell, began volunteer-

ing for Middle Way House while she was a student at IU. She said she felt inspired to help after listening to a podcast about the rise of domestic violence during quarantine.

“As a woman, you can empathize with how terrifying this is,” Stemler said.

One in four women and one in 10 men experience some kind of intimate partner violence during their lifetime, according to 2015 data from

the Centers for Disease Control and Protection.

Debby Herbenick, a professor at the IU School of Public Health, said that there is limited data that suggest victims are experiencing elevated rates of intimate partner violence during the pandemic.

“If you live with an aggressor and you can’t get away from them, there is a greater risk of violence,” Herbenick said. “Shelters are critical to

give people the opportunity to escape, whether it’s temporary or long term.”

Middle Way House has a 24-hour crisis hotline available to those in need. They can be reached at 812-3360846.

Advocates for the National Domestic Violence Hotline are available 24/7 at 1-800799-SAFE (7233) in more than 200 languages. All calls are free and confidential.

ENTERTAIN THIS

All graduating seniors will remember these seven songs Hannah Johnson is a sophomore in journalism.

There are the songs that blast through the Assembly Hall speakers in the minutes before a basketball game.

There are the bangers that get played by guest musicians for a sea of freshmen at the yearly Welcome Week concert.

There’s the music that streams through our headphones while we study, the classics that play in the background of football tailgates and the anthems we dance to in crowded rooms with our friends at house parties.

No matter the setting, and no matter the occasion,

music plays an undeniably important role in our college experiences. No one knows this more than the class of 2020, who graduate after years of hard work, fun times and lots of good music.

As we say goodbye to our seniors, let’s take a look back at seven songs that marked their college experience at IU. ‘Closer’ by The Chainsmokers feat. Halsey When the graduating seniors arrived at IU as freshmen, “Closer” was soaring to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 Charts. The electronic pop anthem would remain at Number 1 in the U.S. for 12

consecutive weeks, and defined an entire fall semester’s worth of college parties and car rides with the windows rolled down.

for you through it all. With over 1.5 billion streams on Spotify, “God’s Plan” was inescapable throughout the 2017-2018 spring semester.

‘Bodak Yellow’ by Cardi B If you were a college student as Cardi B transitioned from reality TV persona to rap star, you have witnessed pop culture history. Seniors — as you enter the real world, allow Cardi to inspire you to make “money moves” in all your future endeavors.

‘Sicko Mode’ by Travis Scott “Sicko Mode” was such a signature song in the pregame playlist, you might think of Hoosier basketball every time you hear it from now until forever. Known for its unexpected tempo and instrumentation changes, Scott’s most well-known track was one of the most experimental songs to chart number 1 in recent years.

‘God’s Plan’ by Drake No matter what you went through these past four years, Drake has been there

‘Thank U, Next’ by Ariana Grande If you were able to stay away from Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson’s explosive engagement drama, I applaud you. But there’s no way you escaped hearing this song, born from the ashes of their 2018 courtship, playing everywhere for several months afterward. “Thank U, Next” was the cultural reset we needed, reminding us to be grateful for what people in our past have taught us.

‘Bad Guy’ by Billie Eilish Years from now, we’ll all tell our children about Billie Eilish’s meteoric rise to fame,

solidified in 2019 when her hit song about bloody noses and seducing dads went number 1. Even as college students, then-16-year-old Eilish made all of us feel old.

‘Truth Hurts’ by Lizzo Although “Truth Hurts” was originally released in 2017, the track reemerged as one of the top songs of 2019 after being featured in the Netflix movie “Someone Great.” When the going got tough, Lizzo was always there to remind us that loving ourselves is more important than chasing someone else. hanjohn@iu.edu

Congratulations, Hoosiers!

We are proud of your achievements and cannot wait to see all that you accomplish in your bright futures ahead.
