Quo Vadis gives visitors taste of tradition Thompson Wymard For The Pitt News

Quo Vadis is now known as the student organization that gives tours of Pitt’s 30 Nationality Rooms in the Cathedral of Learning — but it wasn’t always this way. According to Yasemin Sonel, a sophomore and the public relations officer for Quo Vadis, the club’s duties used to be a little different. In 1944, Helen Pool Rush, the dean of women at the time, founded Quo Vadis as an all women’s group that served tea to visitors before showing them around the Nationality Rooms. The club’s traditions have evolved, and for good reason, Sonel said. “We stopped serving tea once we stopped having a hostess role and more of a tour guide role. Our tours became larger, we started getting a lot of kids in schools and the number of rooms increased to a point where we now use our entire tour time to show rooms,” she said. “So it just died out over the time [sic] for several factors.” While the club no longer serves tea before its tours, visitors were able to participate in the old tradition Feb. 2 and 3 at Quo Vadis’ Around the World in 8 Teas: A Nationality Rooms Event. The tours ran about an hour and a half and started every 15 minutes between 6 and 8:30 p.m. both days. The organization held the event as a fundraiser for the club, a departure from the organization’s usual fall semester fundraisers. The club usually holds two events per year — Halloween tours when guides take guests to Nationality Rooms and share scary stories, and an open house that has all rooms open and the guides dressed in traditional garb. While the open house is free to attend, the tea tour was not. Tickets were $8, a figure that included tea and cookies at the conclusion of the tour. See Tea Tour on page 5

Global Wordsmiths help with translation troubles

Sandra Balatkova For The Pitt News

Justina Moktan was born in Singapore and raised by her Nepalese parents to speak both Nepali and English. Now, as an intern at Global Wordsmiths, she helps bridge the gap between the two languages. Moktan — a sophomore finance and marketing major — is able to do this through her work at Global Wordsmiths, an East Liberty-based nonprofit organization that offers translating services to companies and other nonprofits working with non-English speakers in western Pennsylvania. According to its website, Global Wordsmiths serves organizations in medical, legal and educational settings, amongst others, at low cost — or

for free if an intern translates. The company has three full-time interpreters and works with 47 independent language contractors and 12 interns. Aside from translation services, it also provides consulting services where it instructs other businesses on how to best run translation services and budgets. Moktan, who joined Global Wordsmiths in mid-January, collaborates with the Jewish Family and Community Services and BikePGH through her workplace. She translates the biking guide for BikePGH and legal documents into Nepali for JFCS. She has also attended legal meetings between immigration lawyers and Nepalese immigrants, translating discussions for the benefit of the latter.

“I get to work with immigration lawyers and immigrants at the same time,” she said. “This is great because I want to work as immigration lawyer in the future.” According to Mary Jayne McCullough, who founded Global Wordsmiths in February 2017, the company specifically seeks to work with smaller organizations that have a large impact on their local communities and potential to help non-English speakers integrate. “People can’t integrate if they don’t speak the language, if they can’t access the services,” she said. McCullough, 36, who studied at Pitt, worked as a Spanish interpreter for 15 years prior to founding Global Wordsmiths. Several of the See Wordsmiths on page 2


News Wordsmiths, pg. 1

companies she worked for in the Pittsburgh community assisted immigrants and refugees with low-level English skills. She said her work convinced her to find a more affordable and efficient way to serve recent arrivals who needed help navigating an English-centric society. “I just fell in love with working with the people, I fell in love with the service component of it. And I noticed there are big problems with language service industry,” McCullough said. “I founded Global Wordsmiths just as a response to that and just as my way to sort of try to address all of those problems.” Global Wordsmiths also runs the Language Assess Project, an internship program for students who have mastered a foreign language and want to use their skill to make translations services more available to the non-English speaking communities. The project is currently working with 12 student interns from local universities like Carnegie Mellon and Chatham. Three of the newest interns, including Moktan, study at Pitt.

The student intern can choose if they want to receive a stipend or class credit, although the choices made available to them depend on their university and school department. After going through professional translator and interpreter training, the students are paired with organizations Global Wordsmiths works with. The translation and interpretation services are provided at no cost for the partner organizations — small to mid-sized nonprofits working directly with immigrants and refugees. Moktan said the internship has an informal structure and flexibility she appreciates. She can work around her own schedule and works five hours a week since she is receiving a stipend — students receiving credit are required to work eight. Pitt first-year Chandrima Saha, on the prepharmacy track, also began interning at Global Wordsmiths in January. Her working language is Bengali, which her parents speak. Her mother is not proficient in English, and Saha is used to assisting her with reading and writing. This personal experience is what turned her towards

Global Wordsmiths. “There are other people on the same boat I want to do as much as I can help,” she said. Recently, she finished a project for Friends of Farmworkers, an organization that provides free legal representation on employment issues to low-wage workers She is also translating the biking guide, like Moktan, as well as legal documents. Friends of Farmworkers has her on call in case they need her to interpret in Bengalese. Jessica Alperin, a Pitt junior studying environmental politics and French, is volunteering her French skills. Her major focus is on the African immigrant community in Pittsburgh, many members of which come from French-speaking African countries such as Algeria and Morocco. Alperin is receiving three class credits towards her French major. Alperin was not raised in a bilingual household — she began learning French in middle school and has about 10 years of experience, including multiple visits to France as part of an exchange program in high school. One of her first

February 5, 2018

tasks for Friends of Farmworkers was to translate a sexual harassment document. “Sexual harassment is a big issue and it is important to make sure non-English speakers have the resources available to native English speakers,” she said. Alperin said she usually spends six hours at the office and two hours doing field interpretation. She is now working with BikePGH, JFCS, Friends of Farmworkers and Just Harvest — an organization dedicated to fighting hunger in Allegheny County. Alperin described her internship at Global Wordsmiths as “refreshing and engaging,” and said it allows her an unusual amount of flexibility and independence. She said she hopes to continue working at Global Wordsmiths during the rest of her time at Pitt, and has considered becoming a certified translator. “I’ve got the freedom to do my translation to the best of my ability without anyone looking over my shoulder at all times,” she said. “It’s definitely something I want to do in the future.”

State of the Union guests are people, not props Maggie Durwald Columnist

From war veterans to heroic police officers to victims of gang violence, President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address last week provided the kind of emotions and theatrics one would expect from a reality TV showman of his caliber. He introduced a lineup of tragic and inspiring stories from American citizens — but ultimately the spectacle ended on a sour note. The strategic idea of inviting civilians as guests wasn’t his brainchild, of course. The tradition dates back to 1982, when then President Ronald Reagan — a showman himself — invited Lenny Skutnik to sit with Nancy Reagan during his State of the Union address. Skutnik rose to national fame when a news team caught him on camera rescuing a drowning woman in the freezing waters of the Potomac River after a passenger airplane had crashed. In his State of the Union address two weeks after the crash, Reagan lauded Skutnik as one of the “countless, quiet, everyday heroes of American life.” The acknowledgement took only two sentences, but Reagan had unwittingly started a State of the Union tradition of inviting everyday American heroes, branded “Skutniks,” to attend. Trump wasn’t one to depart from a tradition that makes for such good television. Rather than focus on his administration’s own accomplishments and goals, he used a record-breaking 17 Skutniks to breeze over the fact that he had very little to celebrate. It was a safe and easy choice to rely on others’ stories to get him through the speech, given his general lack of oratorical skills. But he needlessly politicized stories of tragedy and heroism in ways that were ultimately detrimental to the people he invited.

pittnews.com

Trump’s guests covered all the political talking points, including Coast Guard Petty Officer Ashlee Leppert, who was one of the first responders during Hurricane Harvey and California firefighter David Dahlberg, who saved children at a summer camp from the surrounding wildfires. Other notable guests included small business people like Steve Staub, Sandy Keplinger and Corey Adams, whose work

of unadorned veterans’ graves with American flags, as a model for the kind of authentic patriotism Trump doesn’t possess. “Preston’s reverence for those who have served our nation reminds us why we salute our flag,” Trump said. “Why we put our hands on our hearts for the pledge of allegiance, and why we proudly stand for the national anthem.” Suddenly, instead of being just an hon-

in a steel manufacturing plant was apparently positively affected by the president’s tax cuts. Skutniks typically act as a unifying force within the address, a bipartisan example of American suffering, bravery and courage. But with each guest, Trump seemed to dig into one group of Americans or another — making for a truly divisive speech. And who better to use than Preston Sharp, a young boy who marks thousands

est boy doing nonpolitical community service, Sharp became an instrument against those fighting for racial equality — an unnecessarily pessimistic view of Sharp’s good deeds. Trump managed to use a child — who apparently understands patriotism better than he does — to taunt NFL players and Democrats who supported NFL protests. And as his droning continued, so did his nasty pattern of twisting both acts of service and tragic disasters into a cause for

applause. Up next — the immigration portion of the program. Trump told the story of Evelyn Rodriguez and Freddy Cuevas, parents of Kayla Cuevas, and Elizabeth Alvarado and Robert Mickens, parents of Nisa Mickens. Kayla and Nisa were murdered by members of the MS-13 gang in Long Island, New York, who were living in the United States illegally. Trump went on, amidst the parents’ tears, to use the example of MS-13 as an example of the status quo for illegal immigration into the United States. Listening to Trump peddle the girls’ cold-blooded murders as an argument against the status of people entering the United States illegally felt like a tactless misrepresentation of immigrants. At a moment when almost 800,000 Dreamers’ fates are at the mercy of a divided Congress, these innocent Skutniks are now involuntary involved in Trump’s agenda. The Cuevas and Mickens families are now figureheads in a narrative portraying immigrants as criminals, a legacy that neither fixes their past nor helps their futures as immigrants in the United States. A North Korean torture survivor and a police officer turned adoptive father of an opioid addict’s baby — these were just two guests Trump chose to have at his first State of the Union address. They are people from all walks of life, of diverse ethnic and economic backgrounds. Each played an integral role in framing some aspect of Trump’s speech, and each had their story trampled on by the president’s divisive rhetoric and his history of race baiting. They won’t be remembered for their stories. They’ll be immortalized as pawns and props in the president’s attempt to distract his audience from an administration in shambles.

HALEY BRECHWALD BRINGS TALENT, POISE TO PITT David Leftwich Senior Staff Writer

Gymnastics has always provided first-year gymnast Haley Brechwald a creative space to learn and have fun. “Gymnastics is a crazy sport because there is just always something new to learn,” Brechwald said. “You never really get bored or tired of it.” She fell in love with the sport when she first took the floor as a rambunctious 3-year-old in Springfield, Virginia. “As a little kid you see this equipment, you kind of see it as a little jungle gym. It’s so new and abstract,” Brechwald said. Now that she’s at Pitt her idea of fun dominates the competition. In her first four meets, she hass proved herself to be an elite performer, capturing three all-around titles in her first four meets. Standing slightly over 5 feet tall with a powerful frame, Brechwald has the ideal body type of a gymnast — and she is confident in her abilities. Yet, she remains genuinely humble. Rarely mentioning her individual titles or scores she has achieved, Brechwald continually talks about personal growth and the team’s pursuit of an East Atlantic Gymnastics League conference championship. “I’m still just trying to be the best that I can be for the team and contribute to get to where our team wants in the season,” Brechwald said. “For me it’s just about staying focused with what we’re trying to accomplish.” Brechwald set her sights on college gymnastics by the time she was in fourth grade. Soon after, in 2008, she joined Capital Gymnastics National Training Center — a club where she would train and compete year-round until 2017. “We practiced five to six days a week depending on the year,” Brechwald said. “There were some years I did two practices a day, and the practices were very long and intense.” Instruction from world-class coaches, like Tatiana Perskaia, made the time commitment well worth it. As a former coach for the U.S. Gymnastics Team, and previously serving as one of three

First-year gymnast Haley Brechwald first took to the sport at 3 years old. Christian Snyder | ONLINE VISUAL EDITOR women in the country who selected the U.S. Olympic gymnastics roster, Perskaia had the background to equip Brechwald for the collegiate level. “She put a lot of pressure on us — she had high standards for us,” Brechwald said. “It was just always important to push yourself even harder than you think you need to be pushed.” Learning to excel in gymnastics was a constant process of building and improving upon small, detailed techniques. First learning how to properly fall in each event, Brechwald and her peers would spend hours perfecting the elements of each event above foam pits. Beyond learning these physical skills, the intensive training helped toughen Brechwald mentally. “[Perskaia] made me the person I am today in my gymnastics because she really built my mental toughness,” she said. Testing herself through pressure-filled competitions, she learned to keep her composure af-

ter a poor run, maintain focus throughout each changing event and compete against top-notch talent. Yet, once Brechwald left the gym, she returned to the normal life of a kid. Without the community-wide recognition of sports like football, soccer and basketball, Brechwald’s gymnastics career was often a mystery to her peers. No one else in her school was involved with Capital Gymnastics National Training Center or even understood how gymnastics works. She said gymnastics was almost a separate life. “You compete at such a high level, but nobody really knows what you do ... they either think you’re a cheerleader or going to the Olympics,” Brechwald said. “So there’s never really any in-between.” While club gymnastics was sometimes an isolating experience in high school, she was excited for the community and team atmosphere of collegiate gymnastics. “Club, you really only compete as an indi-

vidual,” Brechwald said. “I really was looking forward to being part of a team, for once, in college.” She first found herself on the Panthers’ radar while attending one of Pitt’s gymnastics camps during her junior year of high school. The Panthers gave her a scholarship offer after attending a few of her meets after the camp, and Brechwald pounced at the chance to become a Panther. “Pitt was my top choice — it’s always been Pitt for me,” Brechwald said. Head coach Samantha Snider took notice of Brechwald’s impact as a leader immediately after she joined the team. “It says a lot for a freshman to come in and have such a big impact as a leader,” Snider said. “She’s a leader in the gym not only from her gymnastics experience but really all of those intangible things like leadership, focus and positivity.” See Brechwald on page 5

Tea Tour, pg. 1

Gymnasts ultimately perform independently once they get to meets, but teammates play a vital role instilling confidence in each other as they prepare. Brechwald understands this and said she tries to consistently stay upbeat and maintain positive attitudes amongst her teammates. “Even though she’s a freshman, she’s a role model to everybody on the team and she brings something that nobody else does,” senior gymnast Catie Conrad said. “She pushes me and I push her, and that’s what teammates do.” With Brechwald and Conrad at the forefront, the Panthers are looking to end the year ranked in the top-25 nationwide and perform well at the NCAA Regional Championship. Right now, their average all-around score is ranked 38th in the country. For Brechwald, she’s not striving for any specific scores, but rather small, technical improvements in each event for every meet. Regardless of where the Panthers end up this season, one thing is for certain — Pitt gymnastics has a star in Brechwald. “She has the capability to break almost every record that’s been set here at Pitt for each event and the all-around,” Snider said. Max Sirianni contributed reporting.

According to Sonel, the executive board had the idea before winter break and spent the past month planning it, gathering supplies and getting the tour guides up to speed on tea facts for the various nationalities. “We’ve been super busy. We’ve sold out a lot of tour times, and it’s been really great to see how many people have come and have been enjoying our event,” she said. “It’s definitely been crazy.” Visitors started at the Syrian-Lebanese room, then moved to the Russian room, the English room, the Chinese room, the African Heritage room, the Indian room, the Japanese room and the Turkish room. Upon entering each room — with the exception of the restricted-access Syrian-Lebanese room — guides greeted the visitors. Visitors then received a brief overview of the architecture and various symbols in the rooms as well as the importance of tea to the nationalities’ cultures. Annie Hayden, a sophomore tour

guide in Quo Vadis and a guide for the tea tour, said she knew the facts about the rooms already from her time as a tour guide. It only took her a few hours to memorize additional facts about the Turkish room, where she spent her time presenting. She didn’t mind putting in the extra time because of the visitors’ reactions. “I think it’s been a good event, really successful,” Hayden said. “Everyone’s really excited which makes it fun for us.” Visitors heard about the importance of tea in a variety of cultures, such as how green tea is the tea of choice in China, and that tea is a symbol of camaraderie and conversation in Turkey. The tour ended in the Croghan-Schenley Ballroom where visitors were served eight different types of tea along with light snacks. The flavors of the tea correlated to the different nationalities: matte for Syria-Lebanon, black tea for Turkey, oolong for China, matcha for Japan, black tea for England, a different type of black tea for Russia, darjeeling for India and mint tea for Africa. John McRandal of O’Hara Township said he felt the combination of the information about tea and the National-

February 5, 2018

ity Rooms worked nicely. Others, such as Carolyn Rosso, also of O’Hara Township, were enthused about the Nationality Rooms, even if the tour was shorter than initially expected. “I liked the Nationality Rooms a lot, and I think that they did a good job of telling us about the rooms,” she said. “A lot of them were too short, they could’ve been more informative, but they were very nice for a first-time person being here.” Sam Swerdlow, of Regent Square, was also a first-time visitor to the Nationality Rooms. He took advantage of the event to learn why the Cathedral was so popular. “Just getting to find out what the big deal is and getting to see the rooms for the first time was great,” Swerdlow said.
