This fall, the annual Ralph Nye Lecture Series, organized by The Goddard School of Business and Economics, continues online.

“This lecture series exposes you to the experiences and philosophies of outstanding regional and national business and government leaders,” the WSU website explains.

The lineup for the lecture series includes directors and presidents from various local and national companies are slated to speak each Thursday from 12 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. Companies include Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and UPS. There are even a couple CEOs: Mike Brian of Penna Powers and Shane Willard of Mindfire Technology.

“Within the Nye executive lectures, students hear from a different business executive each week who shares an overview of their career, the lessons they have learned along the way and insight as to what they do in their jobs,” said Brett Merrell, director of Goddard career services. “Most of these executives are WSU alumni and they represent all of the majors that we offer within the Goddard School of Business and Economics.”

The series is also intended to be an opportunity for students who need help finding direction. Because the speakers’ industries are all related to a major within Goddard, it is an in-depth look into what types of career Goddard can lead to. Students are able to network with accomplished alumni who are willing to connect, answer questions and help other Wildcats on the path to success.

The lectures are intended to reach students within Goddard, but attendees don’t have to be a business major or even a Weber State student to attend. Anyone with an interest in personal success is invited.

A syllabus for the series encourages attendees to “listen to and learn from each speaker about what is required to be successful in your career. Learn from their successes, and their failures. See what success looks like and emulate it in your life.”

The series continues every week, except Thanksgiving, until Dec. 3. Access to the Nye Lecture Series can be found online via a Zoom link found on the WSU website.

Brett Merrell explains what an ethical dilemma is to his listeners.

funding which students might not be able to otherwise obtain.

“The hallmark of the EASE Fund is the simplicity of producing funds in a matter of hours not days or weeks,” said Jason Nelson, assistant advisor to The Emeriti Alumni Council.

Past approved claims include a student who had to attend a family funeral but lacked the finances to travel; the student was able to reach out to the Emeriti Council, get an approved claim and attend the funeral with funding from the council.

If a student needs help paying rent, they can apply for funding through the council; however, some students have repeatedly applied for financial help paying their rent month after month — these claims are considered chronic situations, rather than acute; therefore, they’re not likely to be approved.

The EASE funds are reserved for students’ acute financial emergencies, so students in emergencies can get funds quickly. These funds are available for all students; any student can apply for any acute financial emergencies.

“Success is usually identified by a warm, caring attitude by faculty and staff,” Chris Rivera, president of the Emeriti Alumni Council said. “Which

is critical for access for learning and community, which is the University’s mission, and what we support.”

Typically, the Emeriti Alumni Council holds a fundraising dinner and raises much of these emergency funds.

Nelson stated that many of the benefactors who have become involved with the Emeriti Council’s EASE Fund, have been former applicants; they’ve graduated and want to give back. However, anyone can help donate money into the EASE Fund.

According to Nelson, there have been more donations made to the EASE Fund since WSU’s shutdown; however, during the absence of the number of students actually on campus, the claims-filed have not seen a jump or spike due to COVID-19.

El Weber Cares Pantry de WSU reabre el 8 de septiembre con un nuevo sistema virtual y procedimiento de limpieza.

Weber Cares Pantry es un servicio de asistencia alimentaria que entrega productos no perecederos a cualquier persona que tenga un W# activo (número de estudiante). Sin embargo, la despensa de alimentos solo ofrecerá órdenes en línea este semestre.

“Los estudiantes tendrán que ir a nuestro sitio web y harán su orden en línea para obtener productos de la despensa”, dijo Teresa Martínez, Coordinadora de Participación Estudiantil en el Centro de Aprendizaje Comprometido con la Comunidad (Center for Community Engaged Learning).

El sistema de órdenes en línea permite a los usuarios ver todos los artículos disponibles en la despensa para ese día. Después, los estudiantes pueden seleccionar hasta diez artículos

por bolsa para pagar. Martínez dijo que los estudiantes aún pueden llenar hasta dos bolsas de comida por semana.

El sistema también pregunta a los usuarios una serie de cuestiones adicionales para los datos de la despensa.

“Estas preguntas nos ayudan a comprender cómo podemos brindar un mejor servicio a nuestros estudiantes, en términos de qué tipos de alimentos podemos proporcionar”, dijo Martínez. “Nosotros también les daremos la opción de proporcionar comentarios si ellos no ven nada en sus ordenes en línea que les gustaría ver en nuestra despensa. Los usuarios también pueden especificar cualquier necesidad dietética “.

Martínez dijo que ella y el personal de CCEL quieren que la despensa sea lo más accesible posible; sin embargo, los estudiantes no pueden ir hasta la despensa y tomar comida. La despensa ayudará a los estudiantes quienes se presenten en persona a completar un formulario para que puedan recoger ali-

mentos en una fecha posterior.

“Este es solo un camino seguro y distante de guardar los alimentos’’, Martinez compartió.

El punto de entrega aún estará situado en el cuarto piso del edificio Shepherd Unión. El centro se pondrá en contacto con los estudiantes para confirmar si tal reunión es posible.

Si no es así, la despensa trabajará para encontrar otras opciones.

La opción de recoger comida el mismo día no es una opción.

“Nuestra oficina en este momento tiene muy poco personal y queremos asegurarnos de satisfacer las necesidades de todos, por lo que nuestra mejor manera de hacerlo es preparando el pedido del día y luego programar una entrega un poco después”, dijo Martínez.

Lo más probable es que los ordenes realizados el lunes estén disponibles el martes de la misma semana. Aquellos que realicen ordenes el viernes no podrán recibir su orden hasta el lunes. Las entregas estarán dis-

ponibles en cualquier momento durante el día hasta las 5 p.m.

“Si hay necesidades de alimentos de emergencia, tenemos la capacidad de proporcionar nuestro sistema de cupones para alimentos, cual es un cupón de $10 para cualquiera de los lugares de comida en la Unión”, dijo Martínez.

Las donaciones son siempre bienvenidas desde que sean artículos no perecederos.

Aquellos que deseen donar deben llamar o enviar un correo electrónico al centro de antemano para coordinar la recolección.

Todas las donaciones se guardarán en una habitación separada durante 24 horas antes de ser almacenadas en la despensa.

También se aceptarán donaciones monetarias, que pueden realizarse a través del sitio web.

Wildcat Faith Hoe slides home.

By MILES SHAW

Asst. Section Editor

As 2020 continues to unfold turbulently, the Wildcat’s softball team has been working out and preparing to play this coming spring while still forced to deal with the continued obstacle that is COVID-19.

Taking each day and making the most of it, as well as staying committed to one another, is how the Wildcat’s softball team is persevering through the seemingly-futile circumstances.

“A big thing with our team is controlling the controllable, and that’s the best thing to do right now, take it day by day,” said Ashlyn Visser, the Wildcat’s First Team All-Conference first baseman.

The pandemic has hit close to home with the Wildcat players, and

The Signpost Archives

the team has had to face those challenges head on.

“We were hit specifically with coronavirus; a few of our girls got it on the team, so that was a hard way to start out, especially since we have a lot of freshman this year,” said Wildcat middle infielder McKell McCuistion.

The coronavirus protocols have made every decision matter for the players; in the past what would have been minor decisions have now become major decisions with potentially-hazardous side effects.

“In the long run it might get easier but right now we constantly have to be aware of what we’re doing and who we’re hanging out with and just being aware of all the protocols we have to follow constantly because our decisions affect the entire team because if one of us makes a mis-

take it affects the entire group,” McCuistion said.

While COVID-19 hasn’t been taken seriously by everyone across the country and globe, the Wildcats are doing all they can to keep each other safe.

“So with us we decided as a team alright, let’s all stay safe and we were all being safe, but we had people get corona so we were quarantined, so even if you do the right thing, you can still be affected by this,” Visser said.

Another unique difficulty under the current circumstances is the distancing required among teammates while training, which impacts team bonding, chemistry and, ultimately, the team’s ability to play well together and win games.

“A big impact I’ve seen is just the ability to be one unit, and it’s hard

to be one unit when we have two different lifting groups, and we’re not able to embrace and that’s a big thing with every sports team is feeling loved and you give high fives, so now it’s just vocalizing how you appreciate your teammates,” Visser said.

While this impedes their team camaraderie, they are in other ways closer as a team than ever before.

“We’re quarantined from all the other sports teams, so our teammates, trainers and coaches are kind of all who we’re seeing right now,” Visser said.

The hardships the team has had to overcome haven’t let up, as the recent windstorm that tore through Northern Utah, knocking out power and ripping trees right out of the ground roots and all, has also impacted the team’s plans.

“We’ve been having some crazy wind, and we were suppose to have our first day coming back to practice, and we weren’t able to do that, so we did a fun team activity inside the Rich Lounge and we finally got to meet the new freshman which was great,” Visser said.

However, despite all the adversity the team has faced, they are in the fight together and are pushing toward their goals for the upcoming season, which is scheduled to begin in the spring.

“We’re just trying to stay healthy while making sure we’re there for each other as a unit, and we’re looking forward to a good spring,” Visser said.

To anyone reading this in the future, we’re living in 2020. The year of empty stadiums and arenas due to the coronavirus. There has been minimal good news on a national scale.

But now, sports are slowly returning to the screen.

Last weekend, I watched week one of the NFL season and college football season. I also watched the second round of the NBA playoffs.

COVID-19 might suck, but I’m not complaining about the sports schedule that we’ve been given because of it.

Basketball has been hit harder than most sports. There was no March Madness for college basketball, which meant no upsets and no shot at having a perfect bracket; the NBA was forced into a hiatus that stretched from March to July.

When the NBA announced their plan to continue the rest of the season in a bubble-type

setting at Disneyworld, I had my doubts.

Thankfully, I could not have been more wrong.

The bubble has been a bucket-filled paradise.

Before the postseason restarted, the league was competing at a high level. The teams in the bubble had eight games to either improve their seeding or fight for a playoff spot. It certainly was no longer March, but Madness ensued.

As I looked over the schedule and realized the Phoenix Suns had been invited to compete for a playoff spot, I thought there was no way they had a shot at making the playoffs.

Then, they finished the seeding games with a record of 8-0.

Whoops.

However, the Suns did not qualify because of their slow start during the season before the hiatus. Regardless, it was a valiant effort.

As if the Suns going 8-0 wasn’t enough of a jaw-dropper, there were big games from guys like Indiana Pacer T.J. Warren and Houston Rocket Austin Rivers who both erupted for

50+ point performances and sent basketball fans into a frenzy. The memes of Warren called him the ‘Bubble G.O.A.T.’ While Devin Booker was busy trying to prove that he could win with the Suns and Warren was making a name for himself, Weber State legend Damian Lillard continued to show the league that he is simply just that dude.

As the Portland Trailblazers were fighting for the final spot in the playoffs, Lillard finished the season with 51, 61, 42 and 31, and his team won every game, securing a date with the top seed in the west, the Los Angeles Lakers.

Since the return of the NBA, we’ve been spoiled because all of this happened, and the playoffs were only the tip of the iceberg. Postseason has officially arrived, and it has been a special one.

During the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Denver Nuggets stunned fans when they eliminated the Utah Jazz.

The Jazz are not seen as a threat to win the

NBA championship, but they held a 3-1 lead and looked dominant in the process. Jamal Murray then erupted for multiple 50-point games and sent the Jazz back to Salt Lake City.

The Nuggets have also have a chance to beat out another dominant team, The Los Angeles Clippers. After the Clippers blew double-digit leads in back-to-back games, Denver has a shot to once again shock the world in Game 7.

Meanwhile, the Lakers seemed like they would struggle once the playoffs began; however, they have thrived. The Lakers got rid of both the Portland Trailblazers and the Houston Rockets in five games each and are now sitting pretty as they await the winner of the Clippers-Nuggets game on Sept. 15.

On the east coast, the No. 1 seed, the Milwaukee Bucks and likely-MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo ran into the Miami Heat during the second round, and the Heat made quick work of them in probably the most surprising outcome of the playoffs so far.

Also in the second round, the Boston Celt-

We could be looking at the greatest postseason that the league has ever seen, and

after the year we’ve had, I think we deserve it.

Basketball is a game, but it can sometimes be art. And for now, the bubble has truly been a masterpiece.

This Sept. 11 marked the 19th anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City. On the morning of Sept.

11, 2001, at 8:46 a.m., a jet hijacked by terrorists crashed into the World Trade Center, and another one crashed into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. The day was even more somber this year because of the more than 32,000 deaths in New York due to the COVID-19 pandemic; New York has been one of the states COVID-19 has hit the hardest.

The annual ceremony in New York City underwent a series of changes

to maintain the 6-foot social distancing guideline. The names of the victims weren’t read in person but were pre-recorded. Attendance was limited because of concerns over COVID-19 transmission.

As a response to the change, the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, created to honor firefighters’ memory who died at the World Trade Center, organized an alternative ceremony. It was held parallel to the Memorial Plaza event and family members read the victims’ names.

Attendees wore masks and sat or stood apart from each other. In previous years, the family of the victims hugged each other. This year, because

of safety precautions, many bumped fists.

Remembering the victims and the heroes who sacrificed their lives to save others has become part of the country’s culture. Unfortunately, COVID-19 has caused major changes to the ways in which we remember these events and people.

Many people posted on social media and shared their feelings at the moment of the tragedy and recalled where they were and what they were doing when the planes crashed. Many changed their Facebook status to “Never Forget.”

Utah lowered the United States flags to half staff from sunrise to sunset at all

state facilities.

Sandy postponed its traditional honoring ceremony and concert. The city put up around 3,000 flags spaced out to facilitate COVID-19 health guidelines outside Sandy Hall.

Another ceremony, organized by Utah State University, was held on the Kaysville campus.

Those killed in the tragedy are remembered, as is the day that changed the country.

Katherine Kitterman is the Historical director for Better Days 2020.

By KIERSTYNN KING

Reporter

Katherine Kitterman, Historical director for Better Days 2020, presented her lecture about Utah women’s unique work for voting rights through YouTube on Sept. 1 as a part of the Beyond Suffrage lecture series.

In the year 2020, Utahns commemorate the 150th anniversary of Utah women’s first votes in 1870, the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment in 1920 and the 55th anniversary of the voting rights act in 1965.

“The part that we call the suffrage movement is just one small part of the history of women’s work for equal voting rights, both here in Utah and across the country,” Kitterman said.

Utah was the first place where women actually voted, and its suffrage was unique in many ways. First, because Utah women gained the right to vote twice before 1900;

Utah women had been voting for 41 years by the time the 19th amendment became law; and because Utah suffragists had a broad range of support from both political leaders and leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Polygamy was an accelerating and complicated factor in Utah women’s voting rights. During the general election in 1870 women’s votes attracted a lot of attention and scrutiny.

“People were wondering what women would do as voters just in general, and outsiders were watching to see if women would vote out polygamy or change the system in ways that would cause that practice to end,” Kitterman said.

When it became clear that that wasn’t happening every year from 1873 onward, there were attempts by political parties and people in congress to revoke Utah women’s right to vote.

In 1887, women lost their right to vote,

Seraph Young, one of the first women voting

and the suffrage movement really started in Utah.

“Women worked together to keep the issue on the minds of local politicians so that they would include women’s voting rights when Utah became a state in the state constitution,” Kitterman said.

Utah eventually became the third suffrage state when it entered the union in 1896.

“I think one of the reasons that many women in Utah supported the efforts for a 19th amendment was because they had seen what happened when their rights were extended and then taken away,” Kitterman said.

When the 19th amendment finally passed in 1920, women could no longer be kept from the ballot box because of their gender.

“It also didn’t mean that all women could cast ballots - many women of color still faced an uphill battle,” Kitterman said.

“There were women here in Utah who helped to advance and lobby legislation that would extend protection for voting rights.”

Utah women helped with The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, and other acts like the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

“There are so many pieces of this story of why women wanted to have a political voice,” Kitterman said. “It was a tool, a means to an end of affecting change and making their communities better.”

The Beyond Suffrage lecture series has been organized and made possible by Weber State University and the Museums at Union Station. The conjoining Beyond Suffrage exhibit will also be on display at the Union Station through Sept. 30.
