Why Washburn Heroes?

Washburn University is home to many students who struggle either with personal things, school work or anything else. Yearbooks were meant to look back and see all of the things that made you love your time here. That is why this yearbook is dedicated to Washburn’s heroes.

Whether they were heroes to one or to many, at some point or another we have interacted with someone who has bettered us in some way. Whether it's a professor who helped you with a topic you struggled in, an advisor who directed you toward a different major or another student who has helped us out, we all have this experience.

Throughout this yearbook, as we ask others about their favorite super hero, whether it was Batman, Ironman or Rosa Parks, think about your own hero at Washburn University. Appreciate what they have done for you and tell them.

This yearbook is dedicated to those heroes, the ones without capes or masks who helped us to have a successful time here at Washburn Univeristy.

Welcome Week iRead Lecture

Stan Lee Memorial

December 28,1922 - November 12, 2018

"You gave us the superheroes we wanted but you were the superhero we needed."

- Katelyn Terbovich, Sophomore

"He inspired creativity, reminded us while his heroes were great it didn't mean you didn't have a hero within you. His love and involvement with his creations even though he no longer controlled them was so evident during all of his interactions with the filmmakers and the actors.

There is one quote of his I will always love: 'It always fits, eventually.'"

- Jesse Renfro, Junior

"So long Stan Lee. Such an inspiraton to me and so many young girls and boys who aspired to be the next Spider-Man or in the Fantastic Four. It wasn't until I was 10 that I realized my dream was a bit far stretched, but was it? Sure, I can't shoot webs from building to building but I can bring justice to those who need it most in the field of Journalism.Words are the most powerful of all. They bring people togethe, and can create a vivid scene. They can alter people's perspectives and bring them riveting stories. They can save lives in both a fictional and nonfictional context.

Thank you for bringing this to my realization.

R.I.P. Stan Lee"

- Wesley Tabor, Sophomore

Move-in Day

With a complete total of 6,636 students enrolled, Washburn University will be a new home to many incoming freshmen. Out of that, 5,873 are enrolled as an undergraduate. Every year, Residential Living puts together a move-in day, complete with volunteers, music and refreshments.

Every time a new vehicle pulled up, volunteers rushed to the scene. Most students were lucky to only need one trip to get all of their belongings up to their room. Parents looked particularly relieved for the help.

To welcome its students, Washburn held events all week to get the new students accustomed to life away from parents and on their own. From WU Fest to Bow Tie, the freshmen had a lot to look forward to.

iRead Lecturer

JuliAnn Mazachek, Vice President of Academic Affairs, introduced the lecturer of this year’s iRead lecture, Timothy Egan, as being a thrilling storyteller. Egan proved her right, as he recounted some of the stories and traced the path of the human-made disaster in his award-winning book, “The Worst Hard Time,” a book about the Dust Bowl.

“Through the book, you travel back in time,” President Jerry Farley said as he was talking about iRead’s history and this year’s book.

Egan went out to the Great Plains and interviewed the survivors, most of whom were in their 90s. The book tells a story of human perseverance and resilience, a story of the rise and fall of economics, and a story of humans creating the conditions for their own demise.

The book explores how the beautiful grasslands of the Great Plains were ravaged by an environmental disaster, which was the result of human exploitation of the land. After the US government corralled the Native Americans into other states, the people who took their place- German-Russians and poverty-stricken whites- reaped the lands for the planting of wheat, and they also drilled into the ground for water. This endeavor meant that the prices of wheat shot up, but this economic bubble popped, and the bank loans the people had taken had to be repaid by more exploitation of the land to yield wheat. However, their efforts were in vain, as the stock-market crash brought on the Great Depression.

Just to make things worse, the earth started turning against the people who worked it. The dust-packed winds wreaked havoc on Western small towns and brought a drought with it. People had to resort to doing unimaginable things such as eating roadkill, and giving up their children because they couldn’t provide a safe life. People wonder why the ‘nesters’ stayed. Egan provided a possible answer: The people who moved to escape the draft in Russia had a history of persecution, and for the first time they had found stability. “That

piece of dirt meant something [to them],” Egan said. In the end, Egan said that the story, the parable, can be about the triumph of human resilience. These stories connect us, and hearing about them only increases our understanding of humanity.

Family Day

Washburn University’s 2018 family weekend took place on Friday, Sept. 21 and Saturday, Sept. 22. Friday was Sibling Day, where any siblings above age six could come to campus and check-in to stay overnight with their brother or sister in the dorms. On Saturday, activities started relatively early. On the lawn, there were different kinds of games for everyone to play, some people tailgating in anticipation for the football game which began at 1:00 p.m., and still others eating in the Washburn A/B room where there was a lunch buffet in progress. After eating, the younger children could go into the Garvey Art Lab and create their own masterpieces. Later in the afternoon, people packed the stadium to support the team all the way to a Washburn win! It was another successful family weekend at Washburn University.

Bods on the Big Screen

Washburn's 2018 Homecoming was celebrated with the theme of "Bods on the Big Screen". Students were encouraged to attend events all throughout the week. Monday night included a ball. Tuesday included the Ichabod Race. Wednesday included Open Mic Night and Scorch on the Porch. Thursday included the Yell like Hell Pep Rally. Friday included Night at the WUvies, a Volleyball game, after hours for music, and the Canstruction Competition. Saturday wrapped things up with a pancake feed, the Homecoming Parade, an Alumni Association Tailgate, the football game, and a Washburn Theatre Reunion Show.

Lots of the decorations provided by the WSGA were movie posters with Dr. Farley's face photoshopped onto them and given a Bods spin and little fake "Oscars" resembling Dr. Farley. Over the week banners, top hats, and offices were decorated and showcased in a competition of organizations across campus.

Who is your Hero? - ArtLab

Over the course of 2018 and 2019, the ArtLab dedicated a wall to heroes. All people- kids, students, adultswere encouraged to draw their hero and tape it to the wall. The wall accumulated many different kinds to heroes. It has typical comic book super heroes like Spider-Man, Deadpool, Aquaman, Thor, Hawkeye, Iron-Man and more. There are also heroes that drift away from just comic books, including Sailor Moon, the Power Rangers, original heroes and Sonic the Hedgehog.

People have drawn the character, constructed the hero's emblem, made puppets or made prints. Can you spot your hero or will you be adding to the wall yourself?

Bowtie Fair

Twice a year a large sum of the organizations and departments on campus get together in Washburn A&B located in the Union to try to reach out and recruit students into their organizations/departments in a event called the Bowtie Fair.

The Bowtie Fair occurs once in the fall semester, and once in the spring semester. The Bowtie Fair is a great time for students to get involved in organizations they are interested in, and also to establish essential connections within the different departments.

The Bowtie is usually geared towards Freshman or incoming students, but that doesn't mean there isn't a chance for student involvement for those of any age and major. The Bowtie is also a required stop for a selfie for anyone who is taking WU 101.

The Chairs: Washburn play

This play will make you think.

If you’re looking for an affordable and fun date night idea for Valentine’s weekend, consider going to see "The Chairs" at the Washburn University Theatre. Under the direction of Washburn alumni Jason Puff, "The Chairs" promises to deliver romance and comedy through the story of an elderly couple preparing their home for guests despite a nightmarish situation.

“I had been doing professional theatre in St. Louis until this past April,” said Puff. “An opportunity came up to go back to Washburn, and I decided that there was nothing I could do in St. Louis that I couldn’t do in Topeka. I’d like to bring the same energy back to the theater program that existed when I was a student and give back everything that I got out of Washburn.”

"The Chairs" is a chance to do this as those involved hope to bring a thought-provoking experience to the audience.

“We’re looking forward to seeing what people think,” said sophomore theatre major Angela Gray who is assistant director and stage manager of the play. “The story is sweet and funny; I love the moments when we feel connected to the audience through their genuine reactions.”

Puff describes the play as “absurdist,” which refers to the absurdity of things like life, conversation and relationships. An absurdist play aims to elicit a thoughtful reaction from the audience.

“If people ask me what the play is about, I’ll tell them ‘about an hour and twenty minutes,’” jokes Puff. “At the end of the play, there is an unescapable moment that will make the

audience think for themselves. We want them to be able to genuinely experience this without direction.”

Leads Dalton Frantz, a junior psychology major and theater minor, and Isabella MartinezHaskins, junior theater major with an emphasis in musical theater, will be playing the roles of ‘Old Man’ and ‘Old Woman.’ Elinor Sun is a freshman exchange student and English major playing the role of ‘Orator.'

“Because they’ve been so willing to take suggestions while personalizing the characters at the same time, it’s ended up better than we could have ever imagined,” said Gray. “The relationship between Dalton and Isabella’s characters is really very sweet, and I’m excited for the audience to experience that.”

Both Puff and Gray are looking forward to opening night for the cast to perform what they’ve been working on for so long in front of an audience.

“Going to the theater is a chance for students in different areas of study to see something they might not see otherwise,” said Puff. “This play will touch people and make them laugh and think. People need to come to see this for themselves.”

Dia de los Muertos

Photos by Maggie Gile

Dia de los Muertos was celebrated by Washburn's HALO by decorating two displays in the Memorial Union. One display commemorated the traditions of Dia de los Muertos while the second display focused on "The Loss of Loved Ones at the Border". The display included what one may find at the border of the United States and Mexico. Such as cardboard cutouts representing children behind fences, clothes, and toys of children.

Each little display incorporated details about the displays. It dicussed the traditions behind sugar skulls, colors and the reason children were focused on in the display about the problems at the border. This was HALO's way of celebrating while bring attention to one of the issues they discuss at their meetings.

Remembering Dwane Simmons

In the early morning of Sunday, April 28, Dwane Simmons, 23, was tragically killed walking home from an off-campus party with his friend, Corey Ballentine. Ballentine was recently drafted to the New York Giants Saturday, April 27. Both Simmons and Ballentine were shot at the scene. When the Topeka Police arrived, Simmons’ body was found in the street. It was Ballentine who called Simmons' father to inform him of the news. Ballentine was hospitalized for his injury. Because of Ballentine’s recent draft, Simmons’ story has made local and national news.

Simmons graduated high school from Lee’s Summit West in 2014 and walked on the Washburn football team. While at Washburn, Simmons was majoring in mass media and was heading into his final football season.

Simmons was an energetic person who beamed with confidence and pride. He always carried himself with grace and swagger. His teammates and friends describe him as bright, charming, positive and the highlight of the room. That Sunday, social media was filled with friends and family sharing videos and pictures of Simmons dancing, beaming a smile and having a good time, a testament to his character.

Ballentine wrote his tribute to Simmons on Twitter April 29.

“God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers. I love you forever. Thank you for being a true friend who uplifted me, corrected me when I was in the wrong, and accepted my flaws. Thank you for being a brother to me.

Thank you for letting me experience your life.”

Head Football Coach, Craig Schurig, reminisces his time with Simmons.

“Beginning when he first walked on campus,

he just had this confidence, competitiveness and joy every day. I didn’t think he would be able to play here because he was smaller and he never really got huge. He might have weighed 150 pounds. His attitude, though, was he was going to play and he pushed. He came on and wasn’t on scholarship starting out. His fight, attitude and enthusiasm won the coaches over. His second year he started, which is really hard to do,” said Schurig.

According to Schurig, Simmons started his second year like he was a four-year starter. Schurig reflects on his confidence and love for the game. Simmons overcame two ACL tears in his football career.

“He had the mindset to overcome. His desire, persistence and determination, all those things you want, he demonstrated it all the time. He was inspirational to coaches and players alike,” Schurig said.

Simmons impacted people in the classroom, on the football field and within the Topeka community.

Kristen Grimmer, assistant professor of mass media, had Simmons in several classes throughout his college career. Simmons was in Grimmer’s public relations course this semester. As part of the course, Simmons and his class helped plan the Annual Keynote Speaker event.

Grimmer enjoyed having Simmons as a student because of his dedication and character.

“He worked really hard. When it came to everything we had to do, I could always count on him to step up and help out. He took his studies very seriously,” Grimmer stated. “I think the thing that impressed me the most is that he was a really dedicated athlete, but

he as college classmates,” a a of to starting awarded mass Board introduction Professor speaks has been were a at just and saying be Here’s services, anytime. to we’ll have Molly of

he was also very dedicated to his academics, as well because he wanted a career outside of college sports.”

“He was always so encouraging to his classmates,” explained Grimmer. “Dwane had a great attitude all the time. He was just such a positive, energetic person.”

The mass media department has altered many of the final presentations and schedules due to Simmons death. The department is also starting the process for Simmons’ degree being awarded to him. This process will start in the mass media department and go to the Kansas Board of Regents.

As a student athlete, Simmons took an introduction to religion course with Assistant Professor Chris Jones this past spring. Jones speaks on behalf of the emotional trauma he has seen throughout this week.

“The level of trauma I’ve seen in students has been stunning. I know that a lot of students were at the party where it occurred. I know that a lot of students are friends of people who were at that party. In both of my classes, there was just a level of numbness,” said Jones.

Jones also gives recommendations to faculty and staff at Washburn.

“You can’t ever go wrong starting class by saying a horrible thing happened, you may be feeling all sorts of different ways about it. Here’s some phone numbers, here’s counseling services, here’s how get a hold of a counselor anytime. I always tell students, if you want to talk to a counselor, stay by after class and we’ll walk over to Kuehne together. I also have been promoting the campus advocate, Molly Steffes-Herman, very heavily because of students it appears, and I can’t diagnose,

exhibiting symptoms of PTSD. Try to imagine studying for exams and writing papers when you can’t concentrate or sleep. I think a number of student might want or need to look into alternate due dates or incompletes. It’s at the discretion of the faculty but I hope that faculty will be open to those kinds of things,” said Jones.

“There’s a lot of good people in this community. There’s a lot of people who are really looking out for each other and taking care of each other. We should hang on to that and value it. Topeka has been dragged through the mud a lot. I live four blocks from where the shooting happened and I love Topeka. I’m a lifer. I’m not leaving. This is a good city,” said Jones.

Art student shows talent in exhibition

Yue Li is a junior art major with emphasis in painting and drawing at Washburn. Her artistic talent showed at an early age. Li is an international student from Sichuan, China. She was born into an art family and her mother, an artist, inspired her early artistic life.

“Washburn is like my second family,” said Li. “Here, I have met and made many friends, and going to the events on campus with friends is so enjoyable.”

Li takes part in many extracurricular activities on campus, including the Washburn Process Coalition, International Club and Presidential Ambassadors for International Students.

She holds her first solo exhibition from Feb. 1 to March 30 at Soho Interiors in Topeka. The exhibition contains different art forms like oil painting, charcoal and pastel.

“I have always had a passion to hold my solo exhibition, because it’s a good chance to let more people know me and my art,” said Li. “I learned how to interact with people as an artist and how to introduce my art to people.”

Her life and travel experience inspire her creation of artworks. Because she has been to many places in China and the U.S., some of the artwork depicts the view of Kansas, Colorado and Hainan, China, a coastal city.

Owner of Soho Interiors, Vicky Lynch, provides the location for Li to have her exhibition.

“There is all the variety in the exhibit,” Lynch said. “It allows everyone to see what she can do.”

One of the outstanding artworks is “Oriental Rhythm,” which has been selected for the Rice Gallery Fine Art in the National Portraits and Figures Show. People can still enjoy the copy

of it at Soho Interiors.

The idea of painting “Oriental Rhythm” was to show the contrasts of 2D and 3D, past and present. The foreground is a Japanese girl with Kimono, a traditional Japanese garment, which is three-dimension and realistic. The background is a Japanese mural, which is flat. Li’s talent for art takes her far away. She had artworks selected in the Washburn Art Student Show and shown in Mulvane Art Museum, and she won the Topeka branch for the National League of American Pen Women award in the student show. Moreover, her paintings got into the 2018 Oil Painting National Exhibition, National Portraits & Figures Show as well as Artists of Northwest Arkansas 24th Annual Regional Exhibition.

She will graduate in 2020. She plans to get a master’s degree in another state and become an art professor at a university. She wants to hold more exhibitions in the future and work toward her dream.

“My dream is to be a great artist whose artworks can positively influence society,” said Li. “Holding a solo exhibition is just the beginning.”

ArtLab brings 'Gyotaku' to campus

Gyotaku features Asian printing artworks from the Mulvane’s Permanent Collection. People can have hands-on experience of Gyotaku in the ArtLab at Garvey Fine Arts Center.

Kandis Barker, curator of education at the Mulvane Art Museum, has worked closely with the project.

“That process, whether it’s started in Japan or China, has been debatable, because they share tradition, and now it’s really big in Hawaii to do it,” said Barker.

Gyotaku reflects part of Japanese history. Developed more than a century ago, it’s the ancient Japanese art of fish printing, developed as a method of documentation, which was fishermen’s method of recording the size of the fish they caught.

“What’s cool about it is that it shows more of a global idea than just a single culture idea,” said Barker.

At the time, fishermen used freshly caught fish and coated them with ink and covered with a piece of rice paper or newsprint. The paper was smoothed down and removed to create a copy of the fish, which is called monoprint. Using this technique, they could record their catch and show patterns and textures of the scales.

Over time, fish printing evolved into an art form that is still practiced today, and it's very popular. A skilled Gyotaku artist can create beautiful images that catch subtle details and textures.

Gyotaku is how art and science meet in this Japanese tradition. In Japanese, “gyo” means fish and “taku” means rubbing.

In the ArtLab, students, faculty and community members can experience making a

Gyotaku fish print for themselves. The ArtLab has fish models to use, and people can use brayer and acrylic paint, as ink, to coat the fish. During this process, people will examine the fish and learn the names.

“It’s pretty fun for how easy it is,” said Errick Guzman, sophomore history major with emphasis in education.

A couple of students in the ArtLab help those who come there to make the Gyotaku fish printing. Guzman is one of them. He knows the historical and cultural knowledge of Gyotaku, and he explains it to people when making the fish printing.

Anyone is welcome to to visit Sifting Perspectives, an exhibition featuring Asian artworks from the Mulvane's Permanent Collection. Then try your hand at Gyotaku in the ArtLab. It is open during the Mulvane Art Museum hours, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Wednesday to Friday and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.

A word from the Leadership Institute

The overflow of competitive extroverts fighting for the CEO position, wiggling their way into that "leadership" position, is the way of the business world.

Human beings strive to be "on top," constantly engaging for the alpha label. However, the idea circulating the universe, that there is only one type of leader and if you aren’t that type of leader, then you are excluded from the "leadership" role, is not proven to be true. The idea of "the top dog," however, is a true and current happening.

College students wouldn’t be working so hard if the ‘top dog’ position wasn’t one that is actively lingering in the back of their minds. Luckily, Washburn University houses a group of student-leaders teaching other students to embrace their inner leader in the Washburn University Leadership Institute. The broad expectancy that one must have certain characteristics to feel welcome in the leadership environment is overlooked in the Washburn University Leadership Institute.

Abby Price, senior and Student Leadership Council Fellow at Washburn University Leadership Institute, analyzed in brief detail about the most momentous experience of her time in the Leadership Institute. Abby Price explained that she has been apart of the Leadership Institute since she was in high school and this moment happened last academic year.

“I got to serve as the Leadership Challenge Event fellow, which is a two-day leadership development program for high school and college students from all over the country. Basically, it was just this one event that I had spent the whole year working on, and when that

day came and it got to be the day of the event, it was just really cool to see all of the work that I had been doing come to life.”

Abby Price shared that the most self-rewarding part was that, “I knew that I had put all of this work in and made it happen with a whole team of people, it was really cool!”

Claire Leffingwell, member of the Leadership Council who also holds SOAR award at Washburn University, unfolds the personal significance that the Washburn University Leadership Institute has housed in her personal and academic life.

“The Leadership Institute at Washburn University has provided me with many valuable opportunities for growth, both personally and professionally. My role within the Leadership Institute is the High School Leadership Academy Student Fellow, which means I am in charge of planning a seven day summer program for high school juniors from Shawnee County,” said Leffingwell. ”Through this experience, I have made several community connections with important people, and I have the opportunity to develop my personal leadership skills through real life application. The Leadership Institute takes individuals with leadership potential (which is everyone and anyone!) and helps them hone their leadership skills so that they can make positive change in their community and lives.”

The Leadership Institute offers a handful of benefits for students, they strive to help students with lifelong skills and knowledge long after their graduation. Students who desire to become leaders through the many experiences that Washburn University offers through the Leadership Institute include scholarships,

leadership support systems, trips to conferences across the country and Leadership Concepts courses which is all housed by a similar concept of achievement, for students to better enhance their leadership skills and use their acquired knowledge to later become the best ‘top dog’ that they can be.

“Just go for it. Like anything in college, you never know if you’re going to like it unless you try it. Come to a meeting! Go to an event! Just take the chance,” Price said.

The next all Institute Meetings are Feb. 21 in the Kansas Room (upper level of the Memorial Union), March 21 in Washburn B and April 11 in the Kansas Room. Each event is held on Thursdays at 6:00 p.m.

Leaders: Abby Price (left), Claire Leffingwell (center), Emma Wetzel (right) host a successful leadership meeting. The trio had the meeting in the upper level of Memorial Union Thursday, Jan. 24.

Students attend UN conference

Global perspective inspires local change.

This past week, a group of seven Washburn and Washburn Law students had the opportunity to attend the United Nations as delegates for the Commission on the Status of Women in New York City along with faculty Sharon Sullivan and Lindsey Moddlemog. Joined by 10,000 registrants of all ages from all over the world, the group got to be a part of a global meeting of people with a shared conviction to address women’s issues.

“I’ve wanted to go since my freshman year,” said junior Bayley Baker. “This just happened to be the year that it worked out for me to go. I was waiting for the opportunity to present itself, and when it did I was really excited, so I enrolled in the class with Dr. Sullivan.”

For the undergraduate students, this trip was a part of their WTE class with Sullivan. The students received funding from WTE in the amount of half of their total trip cost.

Students can attend most of the conference events for free. However, the delegate status allows people to attend side events and higherlevel discussions and debates not open to everyone else. The way this is done is through non-governmental organizations, or NGOs, sponsoring attendees by giving them passes to these events. Sullivan recently became the president of the International Public Policy Institute, the NGO that sponsors Washburn students. One mission of the IPPI is to develop young world leaders in their global understanding.

“The first year that I brought students, the IPPI gave me a pass for one student,” said Sullivan. “Then the next year they said, ‘wow, your students are really smart,’ so they gave

me a second student pass. The following year they gave me five passes. This year they said, ‘your students first; how many passes do you need?’ That says a lot about our students who have chosen to go.”

“It meant so much to me as someone who is really passionate about empowering women and girls.” said Baker, “I learned a lot of really valuable information that I can take back with me to campus and hopefully work towards creating a better campus climate for women and girls at Washburn. It meant so much to hear from so many different women from around the world; it gave me a new perspective.”

Within the conference, attendees can go to panels, observations and question and answer sessions. Some of the topics discussed were how to create an environment for empowering women and the effects of climate change on women across the world.

“Something I feel like I can take back to Washburn’s campus is how to create an environment to empower women and girls and give them the tools that they need to empower themselves and the women around them,” said Baker. “It made me look at my own problems as first-world problems. I was hearing about the lived experiences from women and girls who live in very different communities than my own, and it made me recognize my privilege and inspired me to want to help people and create a change starting at our own campus. People like you and me making small changes can be really impactful.”

In her years taking students to the UN Commission on the Status of Women, Sullivan has seen the benefits that students receive from attending.

“I get such joy from taking students,” said Sullivan, “and I really try to stay out of their way. I love seeing them really go after it on their own; their energy and curiosity and desire to learn makes me so grateful to be able to offer them this opportunity. And I’m so grateful to Washburn and the WTE for supporting us; because that’s what makes students able to go.”

International Students

Miku Motoi is a senior studio art major from Japan. Motoi enjoys attending Washburn because there are lots of other international students, especially from her country. Motoi is uncertain what she wishes to do after graduation.

Yijuan He is a junior art history major from China. He thinks the best part of Washburn is the campus's architecture, style and function.

Sayaka Kine is a criminal justice major in her senior year. Kine is from Japan. She says she loves how many friends she's made at Washburn because of the Intrnational House.

Yusuke Ito is a junior economics and sociology double major from Japanr. Ito said he has had a great experience at Washburn because his professors have been kind, patient and helpful. He also likes that the buildings are clsoe together so he doesn't have a long walk between classes.

Washburn Welcomes International Students

Washburn University is proud to welcome 32 exchange students from the island nation of Japan this month who have come to our campus to learn how to read, write and speak English. The students all come from two different universities in Japan: Fukuoka University and Chiba University of Commerce. All of the students are excited to be in the U.S., many of them for the first time, and hope to learn a little more about the local area while they are here. All of the students are staying at the LLC on campus.

The students are taking part in an exchange program that allows them to come to the U.S. for a month to learn the basics of English. Washburn has had an international partnership with Fukuoka University since 1980, the longest-lasting exchange program at our university and has had an agreement with Chiba University since 2014. The program is meant to give the students an opportunity to be immersed in an English-speaking environment. While studying English in Japan their primary focus was on reading and writing; they hope to learn more on how to speak fluent English while staying at Washburn by testing their abilities with other English-speaking students on campus.

Heidi Staerkel, the coordinator of student international activities at Washburn, spoke about how the program benefits the students taking part in it.

“The students want more exposure to English. They can make a lot of progress with their English during their three week stay here, which doesn’t seem like a lot of time to learn a language,” Staerkel said. “This is one of their best opportunities to learn more about

English and improve their growing skills with the language.”

Four of the international students, Natsumi Ushihara, Takeru Tsuneoka, Yuki Aita and Ryota Saito, spoke in a group interview last weekend about their stay at Washburn. Each of them spoke at length about their experiences in the U.S. so far and demonstrated their skill with the English language, which is often regarded as a difficult language to learn, yet the students seemed perfectly at ease with it.

Each of the students said that their experience at Washburn was good so far, but Natsumi said that, “It is very cold in Topeka.” Their homes in Japan are much warmer than their temporary residences in Topeka.

Yuki also said, regarding her home in Japan, that, “Fukuoka is much bigger than Topeka. There are many more people there.”

Takeru joined in by saying, “My hometown is near the sea. We have a nice view and clear air. There are many cherry blossom trees in my hometown.”

Ryota spoke about their teachers as well, “The teachers here have been so kind. It’s always been difficult to speak English but everyone here is so very kind.”

The students will be at Washburn until March 10, at which point they will travel to Oklahoma City, then to Dallas, before returning to Japan on March 12. Each of the exchange students are looking to practice their English speaking skills here and meet new people, so if you see one of them be sure to give them a warm welcome to our campus.

Day of Giving Showcase celebrates Washburn's 154th

Day of Giving Showcase celebrates Washburn’s 154th birthday.

The annual Day of Giving Showcase will be from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 6 in the Bradbury Thompson Alumni Center at Washburn University, hosted by Washburn Alumni Association and Foundation.

Founded Feb. 6, 1865, Washburn has a rich history centered on the idea of providing an education to those who sought to improve themselves and the world around them, a vision which continues today.

Everyone is welcome to join Day of Giving and celebrate 154 years of Washburn. It’s an opportunity to hear from and visit with faculty, staff and students, sponsoring projects during Day of Giving.

“What a great idea this is for a day of giving and a day of care if we can all think of something that we should be grateful for and that we should care about,” said Washburn President Jerry Farley.

Cupcakes, nachos and popcorn will be for sale for a donation, and a cash bar will be available as well. Those who attend can enjoy performances by Washburn Theatre, and it will feature projects showcased on the Day of Giving site as well as displays and activities to show others what they are raising money for.

A Day of Giving is an “all in” initiative that asks alumni, friends, faculty, staff and students to give to a department, organization or courses they care about at Washburn University. Departments and organizations have submitted proposals to be considered for the Day of Giving.

emergency fund organization under the Alumni Association. She talks in the video for Day of Giving posted by the Alumni Association.

“We talked about Day of Giving and how Washburn has really made us into people, how to deal with scholarships and different initiatives done by the Alumni Association,” said Nyman. “We are able to obtain our degrees and really push for different trips and activities that we are in.”

According to the Day of Giving website, washburngivingday.org, a countdown timer shows how much time is left.

At the bottom of the page, people can see a list of “Projects and Areas to Give” that they would like to assist, and gifts of all sizes add up to make it a big day for Washburn University.

“We can give back to our institution and make certain that we can provide students with the kind of quality of education that they deserve,” said Farley.

The gifts from people can support scholarships that make education a reality, discoveries outside of the classroom, the skills to serve the communities, a shot at another championship banner, a chance for Ichabods to perform at their best and more.

To celebrate Washburn’s 154th birthday, everyone can share their favorite Washburn memory using the hashtag #AllforWU on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, and let people know how much everyone loves Washburn.

Apeiron

Aperion is a highly anticipated academic event on campus which gives students the opportunity to showcase certain aspects of their academic escapades from the semester. It is open to students of all disciplines and people often present with posters, powerpoints, exhibitions and even performances.

According to the Washburn University Website each departement is allowed to establish its own criteria by which to screen acceptable submissions. This being said the website also lists general criteris such as; the work must demonstrate scholarship, creativity and originality, the work must be superior to that of a typical term paper or class project and at a level suitable for presentation at a professional forum in your field, and finally a faculty mentor must oversee each project, presentation or performance.

Most of the projects completed fullfill most majors Capstone project requirement which is a requirement to graduate. The Aperion projects also usually fullfill a university honor of a Washburn Transformational Experience.

Aperion really puts all eyes on the students, and allows students to show off the educational and interesting things they are learning within their disciplines and the University as a whole.

Arab Shrine Circus

The Arab Shrine Circus, one of the longest running circuses in the U.S., showcased performances at Landon Arena, part of the Kansas Expocentre Feb. 15 through 17. This year marks the 79th anniversary of the Arab Shrine Circus in Topeka.

The weather during the performances was cold and snowy, but the Expocentre was warm and many people endured the weather to enjoy the hot acts.

The circus featured six exciting performances, including The Flying Cortes’, The FMX Motorcycle Jumpers, an elephant show, juggling acts, tigers and a lion show along with twists and rings performances.

The event was family friendly and it offered many activities such as elephant rides, face painting, a toy booth and autographs from the performers.

Janiene Harris went to the circus on Friday night with her family.

“It’s a lot of fun and we are excited to be here,” said Harris. “This is the first time my kids [have] come to the circus. They are loving it.”

Jeff Zeiler is the director of the circus. He was the assistant director for the past seven years.

“It will be at least approximately 1000 people there tonight,” said Zeiler. “I hope tomorrow will be better.”

Gretchen Giffin attended the circus with her family. Her son had a poster of Johnny Rocket in hand with autographs. They just met Rocket and took photos with him after waiting in a long line at the intermission.

“It’s wonderful. It’s a great experience for our kids, for sure,” said Giffin. “I like Johnny Rocket because I saw him eating a hot dog with the dog eating it. He’s a good entertainer.”

Johnny Rocket was one of the crowds favorites and at one point he performed with a dog. He was having a picnic, and a dog was hiding in a box. When he put a hot dog on a plate and put it on the floor, the dog came out to eat it. The dog ate many hot dogs and Rocket didn’t even notice there was a dog, so he changed several places to have his meal. His act brought much joy to the audience.

Zeiler started to set the stage for the circus about a week ahead. He prepared the toy booth and the band to make sure people would have a good time there.

“It’s different [Being the director of the circus]. It’s challenging,” said Zeiler. “It’s on your shoulder to make sure things get done.”

The Arab Shrine Circus donated tickets to the community before the show to help children in the community who might not be able to afford to attend.

Good boy: Arab Shrine Circus, one of the longest running circuses in the U.S., showcased performances at Landon Arena at Kansas Expocentre from Feb. 15 to 17, 2019. Johnny Rocket was one of the performer.

Don’t look down: The Arab Shrine Circus is one of America’s longest running circuses. The ladies performed amazing twists and turns high above the ring.

Professor Stories

Professor finds real birthdate of Langston Hughes

If there is one influential figure who embodied the spirit and the times of the Harlem Renaissance, it is Langston Hughes, the AfricanAmerican poet, novelist and commentator on black culture and consciousness who, due to a recent discovery, turned a year older this month.

Eric McHenry, Poet Laureate of Kansas from 2015 to 2017 and associate professor of English at Washburn, managed to do exactly that earlier this month by discovering that Hughes was born not Feb. 1, 1902, but a year before. McHenry made the discovery on Newspaper. com, a database with an extensive list of newspapers dating back to the 1700s. He went onto the database to find out whether his greatgreat-great-grandfather, J. C. Hebberd, and his friend’s great-great-grandfather, A. C. Shinn, had ever come into contact. After finding out that they had, he began to search for other historical figures.

McHenry soon fell down a research wormhole. He found himself looking at the eccentric histories and unexpected genealogical connections between people like Robert Frost, Lee Shelton and even clansmen. It was while going down this wormhole, he found the error in Hughes’ birth date.

According to “The Plaindealer”, a local Topeka African-American newspaper that covered daily happenings in the area, a young Hughes had fallen into a rosebush and injured his eye.

The date was Dec. 20, 1901. This marked the discovery, as Langston Hughes has always been reported as having been born in 1902 a year after his incident as a young child.

“I immediately got my phone out and took a photo because I didn’t know how to take a

screenshot then,” McHenry said. Not only that, but on May 17 of the same year, little Langston and his mother, Carrie Hughes, were reported to be going to Buffalo, where the boy’s father resided back then. On Jan. 17, 1902, Hughes and his mother were reported to have spent a few days in Mollie Langston’s abode. McHenry corroborated his findings with Tom Averill, writer-in-residence and Professor of English at Washburn, and his friend, Denise Low, co-author of the book “Langston Hughes in Lawrence.” Low gave him census data. McHenry found a 1905 census that mentioned him being four and then two 1910 and 1915 that confirmed McHenry’s assertion.

The significance of the revelation about Hughes, McHenry suggests, depends on why the birth date change took place. McHenry posed three theories. According to him, Hughes’ mother, upon admitting him to an all-white elementary school, may have changed it to protect him from the racism that was prevalent at the times. Hughes, with selfinvention in mind, may have also changed it before going to high school in Cleveland, a new territory for him. He may have also changed it to escape the World War I draft, which he saw as destructive and did not approve of.

As for the actual answer, McHenry admits that he is stumped. He said the answers could be found in the myriad of letters that Hughes wrote. He also suggests looking for hints in Hughes’ work. Incidentally, there are a few references in his memoir, “The Big Sea,” in which he seems very conscious about his age but mentions his age as 14, staying true to the narrative of him being younger. He does slip

up once. McHenry leaves it up to the expert to look deeper into this.

Ultimately, McHenry emphasized the importance of digitized archives and how, after only a year and a half of Newspaper. com’s existence, he found the discrepancy in Hughes’ age.

“As a matter of fact, I should not be too self-congratulatory about discovering things about his birth year. If you look up the name, Langston Hughes, on Newspaper.com, a timeline that shows every year Langston Hughes was mentioned [will appear],” McHenry said, before adding, “There is nothing preventing any of you students here at Washburn University from going out right now and making a discovery that will influence the way we think about some historical figure.”

Silvestri makes and impact

History professor Tony Silvestri lives a double life as a celebrated and renowned lyricist and composer.

Silvestri, a well-known face at Washburn University, was recognized for his composition at the 2018 World Choral Fest held in Salzburg, Austria. Silvestri traveled to Salzburg to attend the event and unveil his newest composition entitled, “The Hallstatt Carol.” The carol was based largely on the rich, beautiful history of Hallstatt, Austria, where a small concert was held at the end of the festival. He was rewarded for his astounding work with a key to the city of Hallstatt and an experience he will remember forever.

Silvestri spent nearly a year perfecting the composition, which was to be performed during the fest at a small concert in the historic town of Hallstatt. Hallstatt is one of the oldest towns in Europe, and its history dates back 7,000 years. Silvestri, as a historian, tapped into the region's rich, expansive history to create a beautiful composition based on the ancient pagan rituals practiced in that area thousands of years ago.

The lyrics, written in both German and Latin, tell the story of the ancient people of Hallstatt giving praise and worship to the pagan god of the hunt as they return to their village.

“The piece merges the men marching with the women singing until it comes together into a raucous, orgiastic, ecstatic experience," Silvestri said.

The piece will be performed again in Kansas City in the spring of next year.

Silvestri is an accomplished lyricist, composer, musician and artist. The beginning of his journey in the choral world was very much an

accident. He wrote the lyrics to accompany a composition as a favor to a friend, and the composition was very successful, as were several others. Silvestri continued to work with other composers and has found great success in the choral world since then.

Silvestri has been a lyricist for over 20 years, working with many renowned composers. According to his website, Silvestri has worked with composers such as Eric Whitacre, Dan Forrest, Ola Gjeilo and Andrea Ramsey. His works have also performed by renowned groups like the King’s Singers, San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus, the Tallis Scholars, Westminster Choir College and the Houston Grand Opera. On his website, Silvestri has a list of 37 poems that have been written or commissioned by other composers.

Within the last few years he began to dabble in composing his own works. Silvestri’s first full composition, titled “Each Morning She Walks,” was debuted in the fall of 2016 at Washburn University.

Silvestri has taught history for over two decades in the collegiate and high school levels. He is known for his entertaining and educational history courses. Silvestri has taught many courses in which he asks to students to fully immerse themselves in the history that they are studying. In classes such “Ancient Greece” or “ Traditional Japan” he requires the students to dress up and perform as if they were living in the time and place they are learning about. This has been incredibly memorable for his students but Silvestri captivates his students even with a simple lecture. Its safe to say that Silvestri has a way with words that has translated well into both his academia and his choral of remembers “He said. way and Not interactive also beyond his described office and him. better from continues Another graduated role

choral passions. Chase Sachs, a former student of Silvestri who graduated Washburn in 2015, remembers his lectures fondly.

“He puts so much work into his lectures.” Sachs said. “ He focuses on the art of rhetoric, and the way he tells a story really manages to captivate and draw you in.”

Not only is Professor Silvestri admired for his interactive and engaging classes. Many people also admire his willingness to go above and beyond to help his students succeed, not only in his class, but in all aspects of their lives. Sachs described a time when he would visit Silvestri’s office to get face-to-face feedback on his papers and Silvestri was always happy to meet with him. Sachs believes that this made him a much better writer and the skills that he learned from Silvestri have benefited him even as he continues his education as a graduate student. Another former student Wesley Lawrence, who graduated Washburn in 2012, cited Silvestri as role model in his personal life.

“Professor Silvestri is so intensely caring and thoughtful of other people, but he knows when to be firm with his students.” Lawrence said. “ He always seems like he is genuinely interested in you as a person. He’s just a great guy and I’ve always looked up to him because of that.”

It's no doubt that Silvestri has achieved amazing thing in his life thus far, but he is always working and has some projects that he is working on currently. He has a collection of his own poetry coming out this fall, and he continues to work on his composing, with hopes of debuting new compositions soon.

Silvestri is always trying new hobbies and pursuing new opportunities in his personal and professional life. He has touched and inspired

so many people through both his music and his teaching. His composition work has given him many wonderful opportunities to travel the world and make amazing music.

"I’ve gotten to meet so many amazing people through my music,” Silvestri said. “I’ve traveled to Japan, Austria, England, Germany and all across the United States. I’ve heard the most amazing music performed in the most amazing spaces on Earth. All because I said yes to a friend who needed a favor.”

Silvestri found a new talent and passion, seemingly by stumbling upon it. Ultimately, he has one piece of advice for anyone looking to try something new.

“The best advice I can give to anyone is to just say ‘yes.'"

Michael Russell: Helpful professor for students

Michael Russell is a professor of psychology and the director of the Scholarly Creative WTE Program at Washburn University.

"In the 18 years I have been at Washburn University, I still think this is the best institution in the country. We have great faculty, our focus is strictly on the students and their success. We have an incredibly supportive administration. We are supported by the state. This is by far the best institution I have ever seen," said Russell.

Russell received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, Master of Arts in Child and Developmental Psychology and a Ph.D in Experimental Psychology all from the University of Connecticut.

Russell began his career at WU in the fall of 2001 after teaching at Bucknell University and Kutztown University which are both in Pennsylvania.

The comprehensive list of classes he has taught is quite long, but some major classes include Psychological Statistics, Sensation and Perception and Graduate Research Design. Of all the classes he has taught at Washburn, Psychological statistics is one of his favorites.

"I love teaching a course where most, if not everyone, walks in saying, 'I don't want to take this course.' They are afraid of math, but by the end of the semester they are no longer afraid of the math at all," said Russell.

A favorite part of teaching for Russell is getting his students to think about new ideas.

"Getting students to think about things they have never though about before...Perception is always about interpretation. Getting students to start thinking about the world in a different way or the things that they have taken for granted," said Russell.

All students struggle at some point in their college career. Whether it is an assignment or class that takes persistence and practice to understand; or even a personal problem that can often cause havoc in students grades and involvement at school. It can often seem that teachers are too far removed from student life to be able to empathize with a work load or just not understanding a homework assignment. For Professor Russell, however, this is not the case.

"First, I try to be as understanding as possible. I put myself in the student's shoes, if I haven't already been in those shoes. Next, is to be flexible. Most deadlines, I do not believe to be all that important. So most important is to just be understanding," said Russell.

Students can also often feel like a burden to their professors when they have question in or outside of class. They may not go to them for help because they feel help is an insignificant thing for the professor to have to make time in their busy schedule for. Professor Russell makes it a priority to be friendly and easy to talk to.

"I like students to think of me as approachable. If there is something wrong, they feel like they can come to me for help," said Russell.

Teachers have hopes and dreams for the future just like students do. It can be a great way for students to see those older and wiser than them strive toward a better life.

Russell said, "My goals are to keep improving as a teacher, there is always room for improvement. As director of the WTE program, I would love to have President Farley double the budget so we can send more students to conferences. To be able to get all the equipment that they need to do their scholarly creative projects. I also would like to be more published and more well

known as having made great contributions to my field."

Not only are goals supposed to be scholarly, but personal goals impact every aspect of an individuals life. When a professor as well known and loved as Professor Russell, it can have a great impact on the society at large.

"It seems nowadays, it's a tough world and people aren't getting along and I just think I could be a better person. I think I could be a better brother, better son, better uncle and better friend," said Russell.

Based on Russell's positive outlook on life and his sincere commitment toward the welfare of every student, it is no surprise that he is the recipient of numerous awards of excellence and achievement. Not to mention he is also one of the highest rated professors on "Rate My Professor" at WU, a public forum for college professor reviews and ratings source based on individual student's feedback.

In closing, Russell talked about the difference he can try to make in the world.

"There's a song by Michael Jackson called 'Man in the Mirror'. I listen to that and realize if we all made the world just a little bit better, but we all really did it, the world would be a pretty amazing place,” said Russell.

"... I just think I could be a better person. I think I could be a better brother, better son, better uncle and better friend."

Professor Profile: Lecturer Dennis Etzel Jr.

Lecturer Dennis Etzel Jr. is one of several English educators at Washburn University. He is a versatile teacher, always ready to try something new. Etzel has taught several different English classes since his start at the university in 2004. From poetry writing, scifi literature, non-fiction writing and fantasy writing and film appreciation classes, Etzel is extremely well-rounded.

“I love teaching,” Etzel said. “I love writing as well, but teaching is something that I have truly enjoyed."

Currently, he is teaching a hybrid class along with psychology assistant professor, Jericho Hockett, called the Psychology of Poetics, which encourages students to learn about the psychology of your mind and body in connection with writing, specifically targeting poetry. The class is at 1 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Etzel and Hockett are more than happy to let students come in and observe the lessons, because there will also be guests coming in to speak, such as the Kansas poet laureate, who will be coming to speak Feb. 1.

Recently returning from sabbatical, Etzel is refreshed and ready to get back to teaching.

“Sabbatical comes from the world sabbath, which has religious connotations, and has something to do with things being finished every seven years, which is what sabbaticals are," Etzel said.

Every seven years that someone is a teacher, they can apply, or propose, for a sabbatical.

With that said, the sabbatical is not a work-free vacation. Once an educator has applies, they have to propose an action that will have to show their progress upon their return.

Etzel is excited to show the fruits of his labor at the Art Walk from 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. March 1 in North Topeka. He partnered with local artist, Barbara Waterman-Peters, who collaborated with him to talk about how times changes.

Etzel would like to create a class with an art professor to compare and combine art with text, as well as about the art of typography, along with things like cutting-edge and brand new things like flash poetry. He is also interested in combining a writing class with a programming class to see the ways that poetry and coding interact.

A piece of advice he has for aspiring writers and poets is to get a support group that will motivate you to get your work done, because having a person wait for you to complete your work so they can read over it is great motivation. Another thing Etzel suggested is to set yourself up to submit things. There is a website and an app where aspiring writers can submit their work. It is called Submittable.com, and it is easy to create a dropbox and submit your work quickly and efficiently to multiple places.

Dillan Hunter, junior computer science major, has heard positive things about the professor and many peers have recommended his classes.

“Dr. Etzel seems like a good teacher. I have never had him before, but I have several friends who are English writing majors that recommend him," said Hunter. "He seems to be creative enough to make classes interesting, even if you aren’t an English or writing major."

Most people know about the age old Marvel vs. DC argument. What a lot of people don't know though is that Marvel and DC have crossed over roughly 31 times in the comic universe! So they're pretty much frenemies.

“The sorority literally embodies acceptance. Those who know me know the hard life I have endured[…] and often it’s difficult having anyone relate to life altering events but this group of girls has accepted the way my past has molded me and they push me to become a better woman,” said Yami Zamora president of Chi Eta Psi.

Club Mathematica

Club Mathematica is an inclusive club available to anyone at Washburn University. Throughout the semester this club has meetings, which sometimes include presentations by speakers from the community who have a background in math. This club strives to boost attendance every semester and help get more people interested in not only the club, but math as well.

"We don't really have traditions[...]I guess you could call having pizza at all of our meetings a tradition though. We are also trying to establish the tradition of having a tailgate every homecoming," said Jacob Talium vice president of Club Mathematica. "This club means having a chance to explore our individual interests in math and spread the knowledge we obtain," said Talium and Benjamin Nelson president of Club Mathematica.

This is a great place to meet people who enjoy math, but it can be a place for otheer students too. The group is really a place to hang out, eat pizza and have expansive conversations.

Christian Challenge

Christian Challenge meets every Thursday night for worship and a staff or guest speaker. Throughout the week several Bible studies are hosted where students can make new friends and grow in their faith.

Craig Freerksen and his wife Janene Freerksen have been leading Christian Challenge for almost twenty five years.

“Our goal is for students to leave here with a strong relationship with God knowing they can and should invest their life into the lives of others,” said Craig Freerksen.

For some students like Abigail Stenzel, a junior Kinesiology major, Christian Challenge has become their primary source of social interaction.

“Coming into college I knew that I wanted to get involved with a campus ministry organization so I tried out Challenge...Little did I know this is where would find my second family”, said Stenzel.

Students can go a step further and join Christian Challenge staff to organize events, lead Bible studies and even join the worship band.

Delta Gamma

Delta Gamma is a sorority open to any Washburn affiliated students, and this would include Washburn Tech students as well. Meetings for Delta Gamma often vary due to DG having three different types of meetings. These meetings included formal meetings where special rituals take place only among initiated members, business meetings where they discuss updates and things the chapter is working on, and activity meetings which is a way of sisterhood programing, and a way for them to grow closer as a group.

"Our main goals for this semester are to teach people about Greek Life in a positive light through tour events, and social media events. We met our goal by making sure Washburn Tech students could be part of our chapter and we are just striving to grow closer as a chapter every day," said Morgan Holloway the president of Delta Gamma.

For traditions Delta Gamma keeps it pretty much on lock down as most of their rituals are their traditions which have been the same since DG was formed. This doesn't mean they don't have fun though DG has non-ritualistic traditions as well including Secret Santa and Christmas tree decorating every year.

"This is hard. Delta Gamma means the world to me[...] DG has held me to high standards and challenged me to be a better person in the chapter and on campus. I originally thought I wasn't going to be in a sorority because I didn't feel like I was that stereotypical girl. I've learned that's not what it's about at all. It's finding your fit and where you belong[...] I love DG with all my heart and the most important part is that I love the girls in my chapter," said Morgan Holloway about what DG means to her.

Some other things DG and Morgan wanted those at Washburn to know is DG was founded in 1873 and it has been at Washburn since 1920 making it the first DG chapter in Kansas. Something else of interest is that the original DG house was located at the end of the sorority row by ZTA, but when the tornado hit in the 60's they were moved until the new house could be built. Also, Service for Sight is the chapters philanthropy and they work with those who are visually impaired or blind.

Dancing Blues

Dancing Blues is an organization on campus any Washburn student is allowed to audition for. These auditions are in April of each year. It is a club which performs at Washburn sporting and spirit events. During practice they learn new choreography or they clean up old choreography. As a team their goals for this year were to be a team in the way they dance and interact with each other, to support the Ichabods, represent Washburn and, last but not least, to bring home their fifth national championship.

“You could say winning National competitions is a tradition,” Abby Price said when talking about the traditions of the Dancing Blues.

To expand on traditions Price included some of their dance routines such as the fight song, the Horse and they included the Christmas routine they do for Basketball.

“Being on the Dancing Blues has allowed me to represent Washburn holistically as an institution. I have built strong friendships through the hard work we put in to being Dancing Blues,” said Price about what Dancing Blues means to her.

Dungeons and Dragons Club is open to any Washburn University or Washburn Tech students. Meetings for D&D Club are once a month where they talk over events, club activities, rules for game play and each playing group meets once a week for their game session. Goals for the semester include trying to become more recognized as an organization and to increase their numbers. Beacause they are a new club, they are starting their own traditions.

“Being in Dungeons and Dragons club has made myself and others feel more comfortable. I think that without this club, I wouldn’t have made the strong friendships that I have this semester,” said Catherine Tew, president of the Dungeons and Dragons Club. Dungeons and Dragons Club wants everyone to know that even though it sounds nerdy D&D is worth trying out because it is an interactive story that one can get completely immersed in.

Club French Club

The French Club is open for anyone to join. Being a student isn't a requirement, but the information for the meetings are sent via Washburn email. Because this club is open to everyone, speaking French is not a requirement to join. During the meetings, members take attendance, record minutes, go over the present agenda, which is usually something fun they have planned in advance, plan for upcoming meetings and events and close. The club’s goals for this semester are to experience and enjoy the French language and culture. They will travel to the Nelson-Atkins Museum, host a holiday party and have a Mardi Gras party.

"This organization has given me the opportunity to explore leadership roles and an introduction to giving a prepared speech to the student Senate”, said Stephanie Morris president of the French Club.

French Club wants everyone to know they are a relaxed and inviting group that is welcoming to all who are interested in joining.

God's Bods

God’s Bods is an inclusive group all Washburn students can join. The club meets 7 p.m. Wednesday nights. Every week on rotation they do praise, worship, adoration and host guest speakers. They also have service and social activities. The guest speakers present on all different kinds of issues such as politics, church history and traditions.

For service, they volunteer at nursing homes, make care packages and complete “random acts of kindness” around campus. For their social events, they bowl, roller skate, play board games, lawn games and watch movies. The goal for this organization this semester would be to effectively share their Catholic witness on campus and to share love and belonging.

“Roman Rush Week is my favorite activity We do different things each year, but it is always lots of fun and a great way to meet new students and get them accustomed to our organization,” said Emma Showalter, president of God's Bods.

Showalter said that God’s Bods has been her home away from home. It has allowed her to make lifelong friends and opened up career opportunities for her as well.

Hispanic American Leadership Organization

Hispanic American Leadership Organization is a club on campus that is open to any Washburn student. During meetings, most members take advantage of the time to share their most innovative, creative ideas to make HALO better and more well-known around campus. The goal for HALO this semester is to promote Hispanic cultural awareness on campus by displaying their traditions and global events. Traditions for this organization include a blood drive, participating in homecoming, tabling for Hispanic Heritage Month, grocery bingo and more.

“This organization has meant the world to me during my college experience. Being away from home causes you to be homesick and to miss your family[...] You don't realize it until you're no longer in your safe comfortable environment, which is with my padres, hermanos, primos, tios y abuelos. HALO has helped me feel at home with individuals that share the same cultural experiences and with individuals that are willing to learn about HALO's beautiful Hispanic culture,” said Melanie Hernandez.

The LinC Bonner Scholar Program

The LinC Bonner Scholars program is open to all Washburn students, the student must have at least three full years left at Washburn. At meetings the members spend time reflecting on the service they are engaged in, discussing issues they are addressing in the community, talking about policy and participating in team building activities. This group had many goals that they set out for this school year, all involving Bonner interpersonal relationships. They have increased the amount of time they share as a group outside of Bonner meetings. “Through LinC Bonner, I started to see a change in myself and in where I wanted to pursue my future career. Through Bonner I was able to find myself with many opportunities to grow as a competent leader and take on leadership roles that benefit myself as well as others. But, the thing that really drew me into the Bonner program was the constant support and encouragement from the other Bonners.” says Mariah Debacker about what LinC Bonner means to her.

Leadership Institute

The Leadership Institute welcomes all students to apply for the organization. Applications open in March. One should never expect a normal meeting from this bunch. They usually consist of a game at the beginning before the students launch themselves into projects or develop their leadership skills.

Their goals for the year are to collect more students. They want to get as many students into leadership as they can.

“We believe leadership is a verb – not a noun,” said Abby Price, president of the Leadership Institute. “We want as many people to learn how to 'do' leadership as possible.” Their biggest tradition is in the transition from the previous year’s Student Leadership Council to the upcoming council. They write letters, make gifts and have a party at the end of the year to celebrate the end of the year and the beginning of a new one.

Mabee Library Book Club

Mabee Library Book Club is an all-inclusive club on Washburn’s campus. This club structures their meetings as an open-ended discussion about the themes of their books. Every month a book is selected to read and discuss and they usually have an overarching theme of current social issues and justice.

Their goals are to encourage more people not only to join, but to be more active in open-ended discussions and to provide an open space for those talks to take place.

As a new club, they haven’t established a lot of traditions, but they do provide snacks and cookies at every meeting. "This organization has allowed me to know and learn more about our members and the experiences of others through real-life issues brought up in our books,” said Adriana Camacho. Camacho thought the students at Washburn should know the club plans to partner up with other student organizations to recommend some books that pertain to their different themes.

Nakama Anime Club

The Nakama Anime Club is an all-inclusive club on campus. They accept non-Washburn students, including Washburn Tech students, alumni and non-student friends of their current members. They meet twice a week for two hours. They talk business, play anime themed games and watch anime episodes. The group’s main goal for the semester is to have a great homecoming float, as they are planning a live performance on it. Every year they take a group to Nakakon in Overland Park, which is a convention that takes place in the spring.

“This organization has been a lifeline for me. Anime has always been a stress relief for me, and I am glad that I am not the only person that feels that way. This club has helped me make more friends while also giving new students a connection to a student organization on campus,” said Michaela Miller.

Phi Kappa Phi

Phi Kappa Phi is a national honor society on campus which inducts the top 7% of juniors, 10% of seniors and is recommended for graduate students. This makes it a very select group of Washburn students.

Executive officers for this honor society meet at least once a semester to plan each semester's Induction Ceremony. They also meet to share any other relevant updates. Other than that meetings are pretty infrequent, and are fit in based on the times the groups schedules allow.

The primary goal for this organization is to get as many qualified juniors and seniors as they can to join Phi Kappa Phi, according to Micheal McGuire current president of Phi Kappa Phi.

"As far as traditions, we always have a smaller induction ceremony over at President Farley's house. Then, in the spring, we hold the induction ceremony on campus," said Micheal McGuire.

"For me personally, the organization has been meaninful in that it's a way to recognize our students who have propven themselves academically," said Micheal McGuire about what the organization has meant to him.

Phi Theta Kappa Alumni of Washburn University

This club is for Washburn students who were members of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society at community colleges. Typically, each meeting is a briefing for a specific upcoming event, such as volunteer projects, collaborative events with PTK chapters at community colleges and recruiting events.

Goals for this semester include continuing to grow the group's volunteer projects, increasing recruiting reach and growing their footprint on campus. Their volunteer projects are their most important traditions because people on campus identify PTKAW by them.

"Phi Theta Kappa has helped me with school by providing scholarships and also allowed me to grow in my leadership skills[...]PTKAW is a great organization because of its dedication to others and to its members,” said Kyann Eslick, president of PTKAW.

This organization is well known state wide. Every year, a Washburn scholarship is awarded to a PTKAW member.

Every year this club attends the Kansas Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation & Dance and presents as a team. Pierce, would love to add some things to make the club less business and a little more fun. The group is involved in volunteer work with Topeka public schools, especially within the 501 district.

Ready for a Big Year

The Washburn Ichabods football team was ready for a big year.

The Ichabods began the 2018 season against Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri. It was a slow start to the game, however, the game picked up in the second half thanks to the defense having a shutout performance. The Ichabods went on to beat Lindenwood 27-14.

The Ichabods had a couple of hiccups throughout the season only winning three of the next six games. As the season continued the team picked up pace as they went into the jungle of Pittsburg State University for a big-time rivalry matchup. The Ichabods began the game with a 14-3 lead over their in-state rival. Things were hearting up as half-time approached and the score was tied at 17. The offense scored 20 points in the fourth quarter to push the lead and finish off Pitt State 40-23.

After the big win, the Ichabods went on to lose their last game against the University of Nebraska at Kearney 16-17. The Ichabods finished out the season with a 5-6 record.

When she graduates in December 2019 she thought about teaching in Alaska for a while. She changed her mind and is thinking Garden City or the surrounding area would be a fun place to teach. She mostly just wants to land a job though she does lean towards teaching the third or fourth grade.

Her advice to new students is to actually try. “Go to your classes, do the homework, don’t procrastinate, like I did for four years. Just get it done. You’re coming here for a reason,” Meyer said.

Pedigo is not involved much on campus. She had 2 jobs on top of being a full-time student and found it to be very draining. However, she does like physical activities such as hiking, kayaking and swimming.

When she graduates in May of 2020, she wants to work in a CSI department and specialize in Bloodstain Pattern Analysis (BPA). She finished a two-part course on it here at Washburn and found that it was truly amazing.

Pedigo’s advice to students is to learn how to manage time well because it will cut down on the amount of stress you’ll endure.

“Remember to live a little,” she said. “Make the most out of your days here because if you thought high school flew by, these years in college go by even faster.”

Williamson’s advice for students is to get involved.

Chelsie

Chelsie Wilson is a senior that graduated in December of 2018. She studied Human Services: Integrative Practice and is originally from Topeka.

Wilson isn’t involved a lot on campus but because she was a student in the Human Services program, she spent a lot of time in the community working with children and youth in various capacities. Wilson has worked with the Boys and Girls club of Topeka, Topeka Rescue Mission and Kansas Children’s Service League.

After graduating she started working full-time at the Topeka Rescue Mission Children’s Palace. She is very passionate about helping people, especially children, she said.

Kimmy Woodworth is a double majoring in History and Religious studies and is a junior here at Washburn, graduating in December 2020.

After graduating she plans on taking a few years off but to eventually get a master’s degree and focus more on witch hunt history and religious history. She finds this topic very interesting and wishes to study it even more.

Woodworth, outside of class, works and knits a lot for the most part. She also spends a lot of time and energy into helping run the Pagan Student Union.

Alex Yelland

Alex Yelland is a Physics and Business Major in the Pre-Engineering Program and pursuing a Leadership Studies minor and is currently a sophomore at Washburn University.

On campus, he is a part of Residential Living, a Peer Educator, a part of the Leadership Institute, the Washburn Residential Council (as Treasurer), tutors in math, and works as a Summer Orientation Counselor. On top of all that, Yelland is also part of the Alpha Lambda Delta honors society.

After graduating he plans on going to graduate school for either physics or engineering and eventually getting a doctorate in one or the other. He would like to become a researcher or possibly a professor when he finishes his studies.

Xiangrui Zheng was born and raised from Lanzhou, a town in the middle of China. She is currently a senior here at Washburn University and majoring in Elementary Education & Middle School Mathematics.

Zheng is currently doing Practicum at Elmont Elementary School and Seaman Middle School. She will be graduating in the fall of 2019 with her Bachelor’s in Education. Zheng said after she graduates, “I am planning to be [an] Elementary School teacher, I love the third grade.”

For incoming students, Zheng said to not be afraid to talk to people and not be embarrassed if you need help, “All you have to do is ask.”

The Editor's Note:

Well, she's done, folks. The 2019 Kaw Yearbook has come to a close and the year it took me and everyone else to complete was truly something to behold. From rushing to get content and planning events for months, from making complex graphics to write short little blurbs, everything I have learned is all thanks to the sudents, faculty and staff of Washburn University. I was definitely nervous and overwhlemed when I first started this. I was hesitant about the theme, scrambling to figure what all I should include and a big help comes from the mentorship and help from Washurn's 2018 Kaw Yearbook Editor-in-Chief Kraig DaFoe. I also need to give a big thanks to my assistant, Anna-Marie Lauppe. Without either of them, this yearbook would be looking a lot more barren.

I am no superhero, but my time here at Washburn has opened my eyes to the small things our professors and others due to make them heroes. We don't need super strength or the power of flight to save others and change the world.

So as you look back through this yearbook, I hope you remember all of those who helped you while you were at Washburn. I hope that even years from now, this yearbook will remind you to thank your smaller heroes in life.
