Jake Drukman | Staff Writer students and to us,” Brand said. “We want to bring about transparency and accountability, and we hope that as a result, students will see SGA more for what it should be — their voice, their support and their peers.” Brand said that, if elected, he hopes to address the quality of KSU’s advisement programs. In addition to certain departments lacking an appropriate adviser, Brand said that some advising sessions have led students to completing classes that they are not required to take. Brand said that he has experience with politics that led him to where he is now. “My dream was [originally] to be an engineer, but after joining Model United Nations, I fell in love with international policy,” Brand said. “I’ve now competed in four conferences with the MUN team, one of which was international in Bucharest, Romania.” Ray, vice presidential candidate and Weese’s running mate, said that one of his focuses is on-campus dining services, including reviewing meal plan options to make sure that they are “beneficial,

not wasteful.” Bradford, Brand’s running mate, focused on KSU officials’ lack of transparency and accountability. “KSU students have a right to know what is occurring within their university, especially those issues which occur on the campus itself,” Bradford said. There are 13 sections in the SGA senate with 20 candidates running for election. The sections are Architecture, Coles College of Business, Engineering and Engineering Technology, NonTraditional Students, Humanities and Social Sciences, the Honors College, Science and Mathematics, American Minorities, the University College, Computing and Software Engineering, International Students, Registered Student Organizations and Treasury. Elections for the SGA will run from March 11 through March 18 and can be accessed through the SGA page on OwlLife.

Weese said that he hopes to address several issues on campus, including the lack of diversity training among faculty, transparency within the SGA, food diversity on both campuses and student involvement in the KSU administration’s decision-making process. “The first issue at KSU that must be addressed is the absence of students truly feeling heard when advocating for causes directly affecting them,” Weese said. “This includes having little student involvement and clarity in KSU’s decision-making processes and having students’ alternative solutions to pressing issues such as Wi-Fi, parking and housing not being taken seriously.” Brand had similar sentiments on the SGA’s lack of involvement in the KSU community. “Tariq and I hope to revitalize SGA and what it stands for — to the

“Night of Healing” event hosted by student organizations addresses racial climate Arielle Robinson | Staff Writer designed to be a space that is inclusive of all ideas. It’s not necessarily a space where nothing bad will happen to [people]. [It is] where we are safe to have an open dialogue.” Those that attended the meeting participated in an open discussion to describe how they felt about the racial climate on campus.

“Incitement is not free speech, nor is intimidation.” Phi Beta Sigma President Vaughn Robinson said that he felt paranoid and does not want the recent racial events to be swept underneath the rug. SGA President Carly Keller was also in attendance, explaining that many students currently feel overwhelmed. “As a leader on campus, I want to do anything and everything I can to make students feel safe at school,” Keller

said. “School should be a safe place for everyone to learn.” Some students expressed a lack of freedom of expression among themselves and professors within the classroom. SGA Director of Internal Affairs J.J. Lopez said that she has spoken to professors who have avoided speaking with students about current issues on campus for fear of losing their jobs. Other students also brought up issues with the number of people on campus raising their voices during a time when they feel that other voices should be heard. “I feel like there are a lot of conservative male voices that are the loudest in the room,” political science major Nia Jasmine said. “I think if the black students are not speaking, members of the LGBTQIA [community] are not speaking [and] Hispanic students are not speaking, we’re not truly sharing our perspective and we’re not addressing our prejudices that we have. I welcome people who think differently than I do, but if everyone is not speaking, then I feel like we’re not reflecting what’s actually going on.”

Political science major Deshawn Jamison also spoke up during the event, stating that the student who shared a photo of Elijah John, the student targeted by racial discrimination in a private GroupMe chat, is protected under the First Amendment. “Incitement is not free speech, nor is intimidation,” Jamison said. Coordinator of Outreach Services Dr. Marcuetta Sims told students during the event to look after their mental health and take a day off if needed during this time of tension on campus. Industrial systems major Brooklyn Harper said that she transferred to KSU from a historically black college and that she has regrets about transferring. “If I had the choice, I would take my studies elsewhere back to another university where I felt comfortable, where I felt valued,” Harper said. Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. K.C. White expressed that all students are important and valued to KSU. “We need you here, we want you here,” White said.

Kennesaw State student organizations held “A Night of Healing” event on March 6 and 7 across the Kennesaw and Marietta campuses to discuss and move on from recent racial events. According to OwlLife, the event was hosted by the Student Government Association, the African-American Student Alliance, the NAACP, KSUnited and others in the student centers on both campuses. Members from every group, as well as audience members, were given a chance to express their attitude towards the events and campus administration. “As administrators, we don’t want to pretend that it’s not happening and provide a venue for students to share their concerns and ideas,” UNITY Center Manager Emily Wells said. At the Marietta event, Associate Director of Cultural and Community Affairs Brandon Jackson said that the event is one way to handle diversity and inclusion and is intended as a safe space. “I think people have a misunderstanding of the term ‘safe spaces’ and what they actually do,” Jackson said. “A safe space is generally

BUSINESS ASSOCIATION TO HOST COURSE AT KSU Kendall Chamberlain | Staff Writer The Kennesaw State Business Association announced a six-week business principles course aimed to educate small business owners in good standing, their employees and KSU students beginning on March 13. According to the KBA website, “KBA University” is a business principles course designed for those wanting to understand what it takes to start, build and maintain a profitable company. The course curriculum includes topics in marketing, networking, professional selling, business law, taxes, accounting and payroll, according to the KBA website. KBA Chair David Griffith said that the association is focusing on making connections through this course between students and proven business leaders and professionals that can be a resource for the students later on in their academic and professional careers. “Employers want to see initiative beyond the classroom from the candidate when they are making a hiring decision,” Griffith said. “KBA U can only help a current student when it comes time to enter the workforce” The format for the program will be consistent throughout the duration of the course, with a KSU professor speaking for 45 minutes and a KBA professional following with a presentation. After both individuals have presented, Griffith said that there will be a 30-minute question and answer session. According to KBA’s website, the

Michael J. Coles spoke at a KBA meeting in Feb. cost of attendance for the six-week course is $100, which covers tuition, lunch and materials, but KSU students may attend the course free of charge. Payments made for the course will be credited back to the Coles College of Business to be used for scholarships and program fees. Griffith said that KBA sees the program as an opportunity to further give back to the community by providing free tuition to KSU students as well as tuition funds to the Coles College of Business. KBA generates close to $100,000 a year on average to be invested back into Kennesaw schools and non-profits. “KBA as an organization is hopeful that KBA U will further

bridge the gap between the Kennesaw business community and Kennesaw State University, particularly the Coles College of Business,” Griffith said. “Kennesaw State and the city of Kennesaw need to have a more intimate and collaborative relationship especially when it comes to the business community in Kennesaw and Northwest Cobb County.” Griffith said that there are currently 30 business professionals and students enrolled in the six-week course. The enrollment cut off date was on March 5, and more information about the course can be found on the KBA’s website.

Campus bookstores to make course materials more affordable by Fall 2019 Alex Guevara | Staff Writer Kennesaw State bookstores predict that students will save thousands of dollars in Fall 2019 thanks to an initiative to help make textbooks and other course materials more accessible on campus. The project, titled “Day One,” has been in the works since 2013, and University Store Associate Director Kimberly Holland said that the initiative has saved students thousands of dollars. The project has expanded from only accounting materials to materials for 60 courses that serve more than 2,500 students. Holland said that she expects the initiative to expand even further next fall, explaining that more textbooks

and course materials will be more accessible to students. “University Stores is always looking for ways to offer the most affordable course material to students so they never compromise their education by deciding against purchasing course material,” University Stores Associate Director Kimberly Holland said. Despite initial plans for increasing affordability and student savings, Holland said that a major obstacle offset the implementation of the program. “We needed to bring together key stakeholders from a variety of departments to ensure we’re complying with federal and state

regulations,” Holland said. In response, Holland and her team worked individually with each department to work out the logistics for each department impacted. Holland said that using Day One Access while working with faculty and staff made implementation easier for the team, and she said that more students now know and understand more about the initiative. Holland and her team intend to continue expanding Day One Access to other courses within KSU, as well as continuing to lower prices of materials for students.

“We are excited to see many years of work come into fruition, and the results are fantastic,” Holland said. “We have been able to save students more than $146,000 in Spring 2019 alone, and seeing that number, while expecting it to grow, gives us even more pride and confidence in what we have been able to accomplish so far for our student body.” Holland said that money used on materials from the bookstore is reinvested 100 percent back into the campus for student facilities, programs and projects that benefit the student community.the student community.

Professors recieve NIH research grant

Arts dean, finalists for CHSS named

Members from Kennesaw State’s College of Humanities and Social Sciences department received the university’s first grant from the National Institutes of Health in nearly a decade in February for their bid to research health disparities among African-American men. Assistant Professor of Sociology Evelina Sterling along with associate professors of social work Carol Collard and Dr. Vanessa Robinson-Dooley were awarded a $404,000 grant over three years to develop a new self-management and support intervention program for low-income black men with multiple chronic conditions. The trio will identify how race, gender, culture and low socioeconomic status affects both mental and physical illness management among African-American men. Participants suffering from physical ailments such as diabetes, arthritis, HIV, high blood pressure and cholesterol will be studied and educated in the program. Men suffering from depression, bipolar disorder, substance abuse and alcohol addiction will also be examined. Sterling said participants within this target population will be interviewed along with the physicians that treat them to gather data and uncover the opportunities and barriers they both face. A system will be established to enable lines of communication for men who often do not have access to outlets to deal with physical or emotional trauma. A workshop or “pilot test” will also be included to examine the results of the study in a real-world environment of their peers. Sterling said people with chronic conditions would fare better if they are equipped to manage their

condition themselves so that any question they might have does not become a medical emergency. Sterling said African-American men are “a very underserved population” within the field of medical research and that she and her colleagues did not feel the current programs were “culturally appropriate.” Sterling claimed that black men are “disproportionally affected by systemic racism.” “Things such as hesitancy to ask questions and seek medical attention as well as an inability to receive treatment due to lack of adequate income create and sustain the problem,” Sterling said.

The trio will identify how race, gender, culture and low socioeconomic status affects both mental and physical illness management among African-American men. Medication management, communicating with physicians, using friends and family to build networks and combating isolation while emphasizing maintaining a healthy lifestyle that promotes wellness, nutrition and exercise while on a limited budget will all be implemented by the third and final year. According to the NIH website, the organization is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and serves to seek vital information and apply it towards enhancing health, lengthening life and reducing illnesses and disabilities.

Kennesaw State University officials named Ivan Pulinkala as the new dean for the university’s College of the Arts last week and announced three finalist candidates on Monday, March 11, for the vacant dean position of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. KSU President Dr. Pamela Whitten along with Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Kathy Schwaig named Pulinkala as the new dean on Wednesday, March 6, following presentations by finalists for the position in February. “We are delighted to welcome Ivan as the new dean in the College of Arts at KSU,” Schwaig said. “He truly loves this University, and I know he will bring his deep experience and his focused passion to the role.” Pulinkala presented on the Kennesaw campus along with three other finalist candidates for the position — Dr. Earnest Lamb, dean of the College of the Arts at Minnesota State University Moorhead, Dr. Steven Peters, dean of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Montevallo and Dr. Ayden Adler, professor of music and history at DePauw University. Pulinkala has served as the

interim dean of the college since its former dean left the position in July 2018. After he founded KSU’s department of dance in 2005, Pulinkala served as the chair of the department, turning it into the largest collegiate dance program in the state. He also serves as the artistic director for KSU’s dance company, according to KSU’s website. Pulinkala has received several awards during his time with KSU, including the KSU Foundation Award for his creative scholarship and the KSU Clendenin Graduate Fellowship for his doctoral studies. Pulinkala earned his Doctorate in Higher Education Administration from the University of Alabama and his Master of Fine Arts degree in Dance from Mills College in California. Just five days after Whitten and Schwaig named Pulinkala as the new dean for the College of the Arts, Cindy Reed, the dean of the Bagwell College of Education and the chair of the CHSS dean search committee, announced that three finalist candidates for the CHSS dean position were chosen by the committee.

State and local election officials in 31 states are asking for their outdated or “inadequate” voting equipment to be replaced before the 2020 presidential primaries, according to the Associated Press. The AP reported, however, that a recent report showed that time and money are running out for these states as it can take months to decide on replacement machines, receive funding and test the new equipment. According to the Associated Press, states received $380 million in election security grants last year, but it will not be enough to replace

the voting machines for all states in time for the next election. According to the Brennan Center for Justice, seven states, including Georgia, are currently using outdated and discontinued models of voting machines across all counties. Only six states presently use machines still manufactured in all jurisdictions. The remaining 37 states have at least one county with a discontinued machine. U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials have said that paper records are necessary to secure the nation’s elections, the AP reported.

In Context In 2016, Russian hackers are alleged to have been responsible for targeting voting systems in the United States. The AP reported that the U.S. intelligence community has said that there is no evidence that any votes were changed, but there is a considerable danger created by foreign governments looking to undermine U.S. elections. According to the AP, experts have stated that states using electronic voting machines across all jurisdictions are vulnerable to being

hacked. These machines do not provide a paper record for voters to verify their choices before they cast their ballot. Efforts to send election security funds to states have been unsuccessful despite gaining bipartisan support, according to the Associated Press. Multiple states are proposing to set aside money in an effort to replace their machines before the next election, the AP reported.

SATIRE: JONAS BROTHERS REUNION HAS STUDENTS BURNIN’ UP Autumn Edmonston | Staff Writer Finally, the void in our hearts has been filled with the return of the Jonas Brothers and their new single, “Sucker.” For every gushing millennial who loved the band’s curly locks back in 2007, the Jonas Brothers’ reunion is now the answer to all of our prayers. It was just another day when the trio stepped back into our lives to announce their return. Instantly, worldwide productivity halted and the sounds of shrieking fans could be heard from every corner of the Earth. Our favorite boys did not bother waiting for joyful tears to dry before they mentioned that their newest single would be released the next day. That’s right — out of the blue, Nick, Joe and Kevin are back and they already have new music within 24 hours of publicly reuniting. A movement of college students everywhere reverting to their middle-school selves has become viral. A 2009 Jonas Brothers t-shirt is now the only appropriate look for class and apartment walls will suffocate under millions of copies of Jonas magazine posters.

“I was like no way!” ecstatic sophomore nursing major Elizabeth Villatoro said. “They were my first loves and I feel like I’ve been thrown back into my childhood romance. My heart is burning up and sending out an S.O.S. for these boys!” However, there is a new obstacle for fan girls — the wives. According to the 10-year-old lipstick stains on our Jonas posters, the boys have always been betrothed to their biggest fans. Nick Jonas’ wife, Priyanka Chopra, better watch out for the competition — even if she was Miss Universe and her wedding veil was ten miles long. Their new song, however, is only half of the fun. Their music video features the brothers all grown up and flaunting lines heavy with innuendos. No more sideburns or Disney shows for today’s fans. To their delight, the Jonas Brothers have moved on to Versailles-style stages and form-fitting, pastel slacks. Nick Jonas does not seem interested in just music, however. He said in an interview with U.S. News that he has always wanted to be president. If there is anyone that can get Jonas 2040 a reality, it is the army of passionate women behind him. That is exactly when the Jonas fan-base needs, not only staggering

numbers but overwhelming power, too. When asked how she feels about the return of the Jonas Brothers, sophomore nursing major Kelly Kozusko said that she was “so shocked! Does this mean that One Direction is coming back too? Big Time Rush? Bring all the pretty boys back!”

A 2009 Jonas Brothers t-shirt is now the only appropriate look for class and apartment walls will suffocate under millions of copies of Jonas magazine posters. While there is no news about other deceased boy bands blessing us with their return, there is plenty of Nick, Joe and Kevin to go around. For now, do not be alarmed when you see college students sobbing at red lights. They are only listening to “Sucker” on repeat on their car radios, dreaming of seeing the Jonas Brothers together and in person once again. Nick, Joe and Kevin — thank you for bringing meaning into our lives again.

Child care services should be offered for student-parents at Kennesaw State Gia Cruz | Staff Writer Balancing school, a social life and work can be difficult for any student, but adding on parental responsibilities only intensifies the stresses of college. Student-parents often have to worry about where their child will be while in class. If Kennesaw State offered a child care facility, not only would it provide peace of mind for parents, but it would also encourage parents to stay in school and pursue higher level degrees. Nearly a quarter of all college students are parents, according to the Institute for Women’s Policy Research. These students are required to stay on top of their studies as well as manage their time with their families. Top universities in the state are offering child care, which creates an incentive for students to return to school and focus on their studies. Most of these universities have their services on campus, which means that a parent can visit their child whenever they please or pull them out if an emergency occurs. Universities such as Emory State, Georgia State and the University of Georgia are just a few of the schools in Georgia that offer day care services for students with children, according to College Simply. Each of these schools has classes or daycare services offered weekly at low or subsidized cost to parents whether they are students, faculty or staff. Most students seemingly want to start a

family early, which creates a pause in pursuing post-secondary education. Most parents also wait until their child is older in order to go back to school. According to the Atlantic, only 33 percent of parents in 2014 ended up graduating with a degree within six years due to their lifestyle changes. IWPR stated that 62 percent of student-parents also graduate with more debt than the average student. Most of these debts are a result of their inability to qualify for full financial aid due to a high paying job or because the income flow between a married couple exceeds the financial aid limit.

On-campus care would help student-parents contribute to their goals and create a relief when it comes time to choose classes for the following semester. If a parent has to use an outside daycare facility, they may never see how a child is being treated, may not get a discounted rate for being a student or may have to rush to pick up their sick child. “It is important for colleges to provide daycare systems to help lift that burden on its workers of thinking about who is [going to] take care of their kids while they are working to have a sound mind when working,” said junior computer science major and father

Richard Bioh “It also goes a long way to help students who are parents as well to be able to concentrate at school.” On-campus care would help student-parents contribute to their goals and create a relief when it comes time to choose classes for the following semester. “As a parent and nontraditional student, I think it’s a great idea to add daycare facilities to a college campus,” said senior integrative studies major and mother Markeya Williams. “I think more people are choosing to go back to college after starting a career and a family. For me, it’s a challenge juggling family and a full load. Bringing daycare on campus not only eases the daily commute but will also give me comfort knowing my kids are only a few feet away.” According to Accredited Schools Online, colleges in states such as Nevada also provide the chance for students majoring in early childhood education to get some hands-on training. With the help of a licensed provider, most children benefit from the new teaching methods. Also, it would provide jobs on campus for caretakers and become a strong point for the school of education on campus. KSU should take the time to establish a childcare facility on both campuses. Students will not have to worry about where their child will be while they are in class and will be able to focus more on school. By having a childcare facility on campus, KSU would help its student-parents continue to pursue their education with some peace of mind.

For some students, the concept of the American Dream — white picket fences and a happy family — feels outdated or unattainable, but it is something that can still be achieved. While the American Dream is achievable, students must keep in mind that it takes hard work and dedication. In many ways, the idea of the American Dream has been corrupted. People face a perpetual barrage of images of mansions, perfectly-toned bodies, supercars and other outrageous displays of prosperity and success. Social media has completely distorted what a realistic existence looks like. Seeing images of “successful” people is like being shown a snapshot of a man at the summit of a mountain, smiling and cheerful that he made it there. However, what students are not shown, and often fail to remember, is that there is a grueling and arduous climb to the top. Few people are willing to be transparent on social media about moments where they threw up their hands in frustration at the unbridled misery and absurdity that life threw at them. People on the other side of the screen do not see the moments where they pondered quitting because things were difficult. The tragedy in this is that viewers deceive themselves into believing that success is easy and that anyone can do it on a whim. According to Robert J. Shiller in the New York Times, “[in] the 1930s, [the American Dream] meant freedom, mutual respect and equality of opportunity. It had more to do with morality than material success.” The American Dream is what students decide to make of it. Of course, material success does not equate

to happiness or emotional success. Possessions and status are fleeting and impermanent. For some, the American Dream is simply to be happy and content with life. “I believe happiness and contentment in life can be found, but not through following a specific path and certainly not solely through financial success,” senior journalism major Ian Milliken said. It is so easy for students to see the success of others that at times they fool themselves into believing that they are entitled to it, or that it is as easy to achieve as “liking” the post on social media. By its very nature, excellence is exclusive. If success were easy, then everyone would invariably be successful. The question then becomes how much people are willing to sacrifice for the things they claim to want. If students want seven figures in their bank account, they must be willing to pull 90 hour work weeks for an indeterminate amount of time. If that is the case, it is unlikely that students will have a successful family or social life. “It is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely,” American author James Truslow Adams said, “But a dream of a social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and recognized by others for what they are.” There is nothing wrong with having humble aspirations, but it is important to be realistic about the lifestyle students aim to achieve. Students must keep in mind that attaining the American Dream requires a realistic idea of what students want life to look like and should work consistently and diligently to achieve those goals.

Students should take advantage of LinkedIn Sharonjeet Kaur | Staff Writer LinkedIn has become a growing online networking and job search site that is utilized by various companies and organizations for the purpose of connecting like-minded individuals. College students should utilize LinkedIn as the online platform is an efficient way to network, market resumes and look for career options in various fields. According to Omnicore Agency, there are 87 million millennials on LinkedIn today. LinkedIn makes students look more serious about their education and careers, and it allows students to display a list of their awards and endorsements that reflect their dedication to their success. LinkedIn also allows students to establish an online presence, a factor that has become vital in job searching. Companies will search for job candidates online, but how students present themselves online can be a dealbreaker for potential employers. Author and Psychologist Abhysheq Shukla wrote in an article that 70 percent of employers have rejected a candidate because of poor information they found online. If students maintain a positive and professional online presence, employers will be more likely to reach out to students. Parents and professors pester students with the saying, “it’s not what you know, but who you know,” and with LinkedIn, that is true. LinkedIn allows students to connect

with employers with a simple click of a button. Of course, it is not just a matter of adding a professional on LinkedIn and waiting for opportunities to fall into your lap. Students must take the initiative to stay engaged with those they connect with. “It depends on your activities ... how much influence you can leave on [employers] and take maximum opportunity to advance in your career,” Shukla wrote. Employers can share articles on their LinkedIn pages, similar to how people share content on Facebook. The shared content is then visible to their connections and sometimes to the public. Students can share information about current topics and news within their fields or create and publish their own content on LinkedIn for future employers to see. Students should take the time to show their genuine interest and excitement for their intended fields. A student’s opportunity to be engaged, read articles, leave a comment and interact with employers will open up new doors for their benefit. LinkedIn is an efficient and effective way for college students to share their knowledge, skills and experiences. Students should maintain a presence on LinkedIn as a way to network and begin pursuing their career field. By doing so, students will be a step closer to achieving their career goals.

The Opera Theater program at Kennesaw State hosted “American Dreamers,” two evenings of twentieth-century one-act operas, in Katherine Scott Hall of the Dr. Bobbie Bailey and Family Performance Center on Friday, March 8, and Saturday, March 9. The performance featured three short, complete operas, including “A Game of Chance” by Seymour Barab, “A Hand of Bridge” by Samuel Barber and “Trouble in Tahiti” by Leonard Bernstein. Each opera was written and set in 1950s American suburbia. “It [was] an extraordinary evening of different approaches to personal desires in the society of the 1950s, which was a rather repressed and altruistic society,” Director of Opera Theater Eileen Moremen said. The concerts showcased the hard work of Moremen, pianist and vocal coach Erika Tazawa, vocal coach Judith Cole and spring semester Opera Theater students. Junior music education major Jeremiah Robinson was especially thrilled by how the performance turned out. He was given the chance to choreograph Bernstein’s “Trouble in Tahiti” for the finale of the show.

“Choreographing this show was an incredible opportunity for me,” Robinson said. “I’ve always loved music and theatre. It was a huge challenge, but once I got it into my head, it came together wonderfully.” Other performers commented on the tough, yet fulfilling, vocality of the operas presented. “Twentieth-century music, especially opera, tends to be hard with weird intervals,” said Xandrya Edwards, a junior concentrating in vocal performance. “It was really interesting to go into the music theory of it and learn how to make it work for your voice.” The audience at both performances seemed to enjoy experiencing a birds-eye view of life in 1950s suburbia. Each piece featured a sense of yearning for fantasy and fulfillment in life. Seating at the show was very intimate, allowing those watching to feel as though they were part of the stories. Issues presented within the walls of the 1950s household in each scene featured universal themes, so there was a great sense of recognition and unity in the room each night. By prodding satirically at societal issues of the 1950s that still occur in modern society, each piece aimed to teach lessons about self-awareness, achieving life goals and surrounding

oneself with positive influences. “Throughout all of the pieces, I valued the lessons that you could learn because they’re very universal,” said Melody Fort, a freshman concentrating in jazz vocals. “There’s value in love and waiting for your opportunities to come because it might not always be the time for you.”

“It [was] an extraordinary evening of different approaches to personal desires in the society of the 1950s, which was a rather repressed and altruistic society.” Up next, KSU Opera Theater will work in collaboration with Georgia State University’s Rialto Center for the Arts as they present “Candide,” an opera which celebrates Berstein’s 100th birthday, April 12 through April 14, all at 8 p.m. For more information about the School of Music and upcoming events, visit arts.kennesaw.edu/music.

CLUB OF THE WEEK:

Caribbean Students Association

Samuel Sinclair | Staff Writer One club at Kennesaw State is growing its membership by spreading a message of unity and appreciation of island cultures. The Caribbean Students Association at KSU contains over 200 members of Caribbean descent or otherwise, and its membership is continuing to grow. Members of the CARIBSA use the group as an outlet to discuss topics of interest to Caribbean society, including politics, culture and celebrities. Members also engage in activities to raise awareness of island cultures and the benefits those cultures contribute to global society. The group also works to keep its members aware of events that might be of interest, including potential threats such as those made in the racist GroupMe chat last month. “It is very important to us that our group members all be safe and happy,” CARIBSA Public Relations Officer Jeanelle Posy said. Meetings for the CARIBSA usually consist of topical discussions and team building exercises. In one team building activity called “four corners,” members are given four choices of topics, one for each corner of the room, and then

converse with others who pick the same corner. The CARIBSA participates in large-scale events such as “FroRibbean Fest” in Atlanta that allows the group to mingle with like-minded individuals. “FroRibbean Fest” is a festival celebrating the beauty and interconnectedness of African, Carribean and African-American cultures and experiences. The CARIBSA has previously held events including game nights, flag parties, movie nights a Valentines-themed speed-dating event called “The Bae Draft.” The club even held a fitness event in late February. Posy said she wants to offer as much as possible to the friends and acquaintances that she now calls her family. “We are a family and we support one another both inside the club and out,” Posy said. Reaching such a high level of membership and representation for the CARIBSA has not been easy, Posy said, attributing the challenges to a lack of resources left by the previous administration. “It’s difficult to plan events when you can’t cover the basics,” Posy said.

“Building a reputation has been a lot of hard work, but we have made it a point to improve. We have been more engaged with our members to prioritize their wants and needs. With a team this open, honest and helpful, maintaining an air of positivity is easy.” Posy added that KSU was very helpful in assuaging some of these dilemmas, noting that having chairs, tables, space to work with, audio and visual equipment and refreshments have allowed for drastic improvement. The club has also collaborated with the African and Latino Student Associations to foster a sense of solidarity and continue their upward momentum. The CARIBSA encourages all KSU students to join and is holding a general body meeting Tuesday, March 19, at 6:30 p.m. The location has yet to be announced. “We want our family to continue to grow regardless of ethnicity, age or background,” Posy said. “It’s all about who you are [inside], not outwardly. One love, one people.” For more information on the CARIBSA, visit its Owl Life page at kennesaw.campuslabs.com/ engage/organization/caribsa or its Instagram @ksu_caribsa.

First woman president propels Aerospace program forward Luke Gardner | A & L Editor The first minority woman president of Kennesaw State’s chapter of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics has only been in office for seven months and has already made changes unlike KSU has ever seen before. “I’m first-generation,” Cindy Vo said. “Girls don’t grow up playing with planes [and] machines — we grow up playing with makeup and baby dolls. It’s not the stereotypical role we play in society, [but] it drives me even more because I see a calling for more females and more diversity. There’s a power in being who you are.” Vo’s main task as president of the program has been advocating for the creation of an aerospace engineering major at KSU. Currently, KSU only has an aerospace engineering minor. Southern Polytechnic State University approved the creation of an aerospace engineering major previously, but Vo said that this was a promise that was broken after the university’s merger with KSU. As president, Vo has also been working to create more resources for students on the Marietta campus. Vo said that in mid-February, she and representatives from the Aerial Robotics Team, Electric Vehicle Team, Motor Sports Team and Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Team met with the Dean of Students to present their needs and concerns in regards to campus resources.

“Us being on the Marietta campus — we have the short end of the stick,” Vo said. “[Still], there’s a beauty in unity. There’s power in numbers. What I’m doing is bigger than me. I want future students to be able to learn and to want to stay in the clubs.” Vo said that AIAA and other student organizations such as the aforementioned teams are currently facing retaining issues — a problem she attributes to a lack of funding, resources and untapped potential. The night of Feb. 19 marked a particularly special event to Vo as it was the first time a professional chapter of AIAA came to a university in Georgia for a dinner. Vo expressed the relevance of the milestone, as AIAA only has two collegiate chapters in Georgia, with the other collegiate chapter having more resources because of its location at Georgia State University. AIAA’s decision to hold an event on KSU’s campus before GSU’s is a testament to the growth the aeronautics program has seen at KSU. “It’s amazing to break ground,” Vo said. “I just started this year — my parents didn’t even know English and look at how much I’ve done. I’m in this body for a purpose.” Vo has no plans of slowing down anytime soon. “In March, I’m going to Congress with AIAA to represent the industry,” Vo said. “I’m going to

Vo garnered attention Photo Courtesy for an aerospace of Cindy Vo. engineering major. create a mentorship program [where] professors pair with students to show [them what] work [is like] outside of the classroom.” As for the more distant future, Vo refuses to put herself in a box. “I want to work in the aerospace industry, but it might be a job that doesn’t even exist yet,” Vo said. “I don’t want to limit myself and then be disappointed.” For information on AIAA nationally, visit www.aiaa.org and for more information on AIAA at KSU, visit owllife.kennesaw.edu/ organization/KSUAIAA.

STREET, JOHNSON COLLECT AWARDS, OWLS BEAT HATTERS IN ASUN QUARTERFINALS Rio White | Sports Editor The Kennesaw State Department of Athletics announced on Thursday, March 7, that sophomore Kamiyah Street and freshman Amani Johnson each earned conference awards for their efforts on the women’s basketball team. After leading the Atlantic Sun Conference in points and steals, Street became just the second player in KSU’s Division I history to be named as a First Team All-Conference selection. Street led the Owls this season with 17.2 points per game and 90 steals, highlighting her year with two ASUN Player of the Week awards. She also set a KSU Division I record by scoring 41 points against Seton Hall on Nov. 10. Throughout the past two seasons, Street has been a leader for the Owls. In addition to her scoring ability, Street finds ways to provide assists and come up with rebounds through her speed. She is also a vocal leader on the team, huddling the team together before games to bring energy and giving directions on the court during games. “Kamiyah has put the time in on the court to improve her game and hard work pays off,” head coach Agnus Berenato said. “Kamiyah has grown in many ways, both on and off the court. She is an explosive student athlete that is capable of taking over a game.” For the third consecutive season,

a KSU player was named as ASUN Freshman of the Year, as Johnson was unanimously chosen by the conference for that award. She follows Street and Carlotta Gianolla as the latest Owl to star as the best freshman in the conference. Leading the team in assists, Johnson was an all-around force for the Owls by averaging nearly 10 points per game and frequently contributing at least five rebounds and assists. For a first-year player, Johnson was heavily relied upon for leading the team and conference in minutes played and coming second to Street in steals in the ASUN conference. Johnson was chosen as the conference Freshman of the Week six times — a conference record. She also proved to be a leader on the team, being chosen as team captain by Berenato. “Amani has amazing skill for a freshman and is willing to work on her game to improve,” Berenato said. “Amani has a terrific work ethic and gets better every day. Named a captain because of her leadership, Amani must excel on and off the court, which she has done.” Sophomore Alexis Poole may not have won a conference award this season, but was worthy of an honorable mention after her productive season. Poole led the Owls with 242 rebounds on the season, good for second-best in the ASUN

conference, and averaged 14 points per game. She proved to be one of the most consistent players on the team, posting 12 double-doubles and making 50 percent of her shots. The highlight of Poole’s season was on Jan. 15 against Liberty where she scored 27 points and came up with 15 rebounds, both season-high totals. The Owls played in the quarterfinals of the ASUN Tournament Friday, March 8, defeating the Stetson Hatters 67-59. Poole matched her career-high total of 27 points while Johnson set a career high of 21 as KSU hung on to win against a strong opponent. The two players combined for all but 18 of the team’s points. Coming into the game, Stetson was favored as the No. 2 seed in the tournament while the Owls were back at No. 7. The efficiency of Poole and Johnson, along with their ability to draw fouls, helped KSU win. Johnson picked up seven rebounds and provided five assists while Poole had six rebounds and converted 17 of her 18 free throw attempts. “It was really exciting,” Johnson said. “I did what I needed to do and it happened to be my night.” The win marks the second time KSU reaches the ASUN Tournament Semifinal under Berenato. Next up, the Owls will face the No. 1 seed Florida Gulf Coast on Wednesday, March 13, with the time to be determined.

A team effort helped lead Kennesaw State’s lacrosse team to a 21-14 home win over St. Bonaventure on Thursday, March 7, before falling 16-13 to New Hampshire on Sunday. Junior Abby Squires led the way for the Owls against the Bonnies, scoring five goals as KSU won its first home game of the season. Also contributing to the victory were juniors Anna Giulitto, Izzy Palermo and freshman Marissa Gore, who all had three goals each. Although the Bonnies held KSU lead scorer Siena Gore to just two goals, her teammates stepped up and helped maintain a lead throughout the match. Within the first 10 minutes of the opening half, the Owls scored eight goals to lead by four. After increasing the margin to eight goals by halftime, KSU continued to score and kept a significant lead to the end. “I thought it was a really good team effort,” head coach Laura Maness said. “We controlled the tempo of the game from the very first draw.” Senior attacker Haley Swift featured in the game, making her first start in nearly a month due to injury. She scored once and provided four assists against the Bonnies, showing glimpses of the player

Abby Squires moves past a Marquette player during the matchup on Feb. 23. who was a Second Team All-Conference selection last season. Swift continued to play well Sunday as the Owls lost a close match to New Hampshire, scoring twice and assisting twice. Gore had an improved performance against the Wildcats, scoring four times, three from the free position. Despite two-goal performances from several players, the Owls could not catch New Hampshire in the second half. KSU scored early in the match, but they were quickly chasing after the Wildcats who finished the first half with an 8-5 lead.

Three straight goals in the second half for the Owls made the game within one goal at 10-9, but New Hampshire scored six of the next eight to seal a win. “New Hampshire was probably one of the scrappiest and most aggressive teams that we’ve seen all year,” Maness said. “I thought we started the game on a high note and I thought we finished the game on a high note and there were some lulls in between that really cost us.” The lacrosse team stays at home this week, facing off against Liberty on Saturday, March 16, at 12 p.m.

Owls’ rally falls short at home before four losses on the road Richard Torres | Contributor & Rio White | Sports Editor The Kennesaw State baseball team played five games last week beginning on Tuesday, March 5, dropping a home game to Georgia Tech before losing to them on the road, and then losing three games at Samford. At home against GT, the Owls rallied from nine runs down to score six runs in the final three innings but fell short 10-7. The Yellow Jackets, who were ranked No. 17 in preseason polls, defeated the Owls with a veteran team of many returning starters. A comeback attempt for KSU fell short as GT built up an early 6-0 lead against starting pitcher Jake McLinsky and reliever Brison Finey, while the Owls were held to one run over the first five innings. After additional runs by the Yellow Jackets, KSU’s comeback started in the bottom of the seventh inning trailing 10-1 when left fielder Garrett Hodges batted in two runs with a single. Soon after that, second baseman Jaylen Smith hit an RBI single. Pitchers Cooper Mayhall and Luke Torbert shut out GT in

the top of the eighth and ninth innings, allowing the Owls to stay in the game. After a walk for second baseman Tyler Simon to start the bottom of the ninth, center fielder Alex Carballo hit a two-run home run. With two outs, first baseman Jake Franklin hit a double and was then driven in by right fielder Terence Norman. Despite the strong comeback effort, that proved to be the final run. The Owls scored six unanswered runs to end the game and had four players each with hits. Despite the scoreline, the KSU pitchers put up a great fight against GT, with highlights from Mayhall and Tolbert’s final two shutout innings. The pitching staff only gave up five earned runs as a few errors were committed at moments that led to the Yellow Jackets scoring. After hosting GT, the Owls traveled down to Atlanta the next night, falling 9-1. KSU managed just five hits on the day and scored its only run on a bases-loaded base on balls.

KSU’s pitching gave up just two runs in the first four innings but gradually gave up more hits and runs to the Yellow Jackets. The Owls then traveled to Birmingham, Alabama, to take on Samford in a three-game weekend series on the road. Though all three games were losses, the team showed improvements against the Bulldogs during Friday’s 6-5 loss. KSU led the game 4-2 after six innings, but two home runs confirmed a win for Stetson. Samford got out to an early lead in the next game with three runs in the first inning, and the Owls were only able to put two runs on the board later on. The final game of the series involved two home runs from Daniel Seres, but the Owls could not keep up with the Bulldogs. Next, the Owls will play five home games beginning Tuesday, March 12, at 5 p.m. as KSU plays the Blue Hose of Presbyterian College twice before facing off against the University of Massachusetts three times.

Gray earns All-American honor at NCAA Indoor Championships, sets school records Rio White | Sports Editor Senior track and field athlete Jordan Gray finished her indoor career by representing the Owls at the NCAA Indoor Track Championships on Friday, March 8. Gray competed in two events, finishing 14th overall in the long jump and scoring a personal best in the pentathlon. For her efforts in the pentathlon, Gray was named as a First Team All-American. With her award, Gray becomes the first KSU athlete from the women’s team to win the First Team honors while her score of 4412 is

the highest indoor total from any athlete representing the Atlantic Sun Conference at the NCAA Championship level. In the pentathlon, Gray set new school records for the shot put, long jump and the 800-meter run. “I am super happy to have accomplished this and have such a big [personal record],” Gray said. “Even though I did not do everything I wanted to do, He does amazing things.” Leading up to her qualification to the NCAA Championships this

year, Gray was named as the Most Outstanding Field Performer of the ASUN Championships, winning the pentathlon and coming second in the shot put and pole vault. Coming into this season, she had won six conference Player of the Week awards in her career and nine All-Conference selection in various disciplines. Gray has also been selected to the conference All-Academic teams several times. With all of the accolades, awards and records held by Gray, her abilities along with her work ethic

have proven to have a lasting impact on KSU. “During the recruiting process, I learned of her character and desire to grow as a combined event athlete,” former Director of Track and Field Andy Eggerth said. “This character and work ethic, combined with proven ability to score for our team made me want to have Jordan on our team.” As the outdoor season approaches next, Gray will seek success in the pentathlon, javelin and high jump.
