Change is inevitable. Growth is optional. - John C. Maxwell
CHANGE 2023 Kaw Yearbook Vol. 118 Washburn University 00 SW College Ave. Topeka, KS 6661 Student Media, Lower Level of Memorial Union (785) 670-1198
Prelude to Change BY CHRISTINA NOLAND Imagine a perfect storm where so much change is happening on campus that it makes developing a yearbook theme extraordinarily easy. Would it be a perfect time to revamp the name of the Kaw Yearbook? Yes. Would it be that simple in practice? No. The design of this book is built around squares and triangles -- shapes that appear simple on their own but provide a true foundation for complexity when put together. A chaotic paint stroke displays motion throughout the theme's design. Transitions of color from rich blue to bright blue showcases change in a way that is entertaining for the eye. Take the pages of the book in your hand, flip through them at all once in either direction to see for yourself. In addition to visual elements representing change, this special edition of the Kaw Yearbook has been renamed "The Sapphire". A fleeting name for a temporary period of change that solidifies the design and also provides a sense of pride, uniqueness and royalty to those who are mentioned both within and outside its pages. We created a digital add-on and QR code, which can be scanned on pages 7 and 183, to include yearbook photos, students and groups that couldn't fit within
the printed book without reducing quality or removing participants. Lastly, student portraits changed from group shots to individual portraits in order to guarantee no loss of quality or the loss of a student's face within the binding of the book, which was normally the case with group shots. This change of procedure gave the yearbook production team a nightmare to handle, but the number of students and student organizations we were able to put in the yearbook because of this change, in comparison to previous yearbooks, was well worth it. Building a yearbook so precise comes with ups and downs. Content falls through the cracks. Deadlines get pushed back. It's a delicate balance -- simple in theory and complicated in practice. One simple move can provide a chain reaction that can set progress back, forever change the path going forward or give a unique opportunity for growth. Therefore, building a yearbook is like Jenga. The longer the game is played, the more complete the project, the more experience one will gain with problem solving, predicting potential road blocks and how to appropriately address situations when they ultimately fall apart.

O
n Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2023, the Washburn Board of Regents announced that the next president of Washburn will be JuilAnn Mazachek at a special press conference held inside the Washburn Room at Memorial Union. Before leaving for Midwestern State University in Texas last year, Mazachek spent 30 years working at Washburn which she referred to as “home” multiple times during her address. Mazachek started as an assistant professor of accounting at Washburn in 1992. Since then, she has served as School of Business dean, vice president of academic affairs and president and CEO of the Washburn University Alumni Association and Foundation. According to chair Shelly Buhler, Mazachek was chosen by the Washburn Board of Regents because she checked all the boxes of an ideal candidate. Topeka Mayor Mike Padilla introduced the motion that Mazachek be hired as the 15th president of Washburn University
and authorized the board chair and vice chair to complete negotiations and enter a formal contract with Mazachek for presidency, which would be subject to ratification by the full board at the next regular meeting. “I am overwhelmed with joy today to be back in the presence of the Ichabod family, and to be here on such a special day as we mark a new chapter in our history at Washburn,” Mazachek said, after receiving a standing ovation from the crowd. Mazachek’s children have graduated from Washburn and her husband Keith is returning to teach after previously being a professor at Washburn for nearly 23 years. “Today is a remarkable, memorable and life-changing day for me, one I had only dreamed about through the years,” Mazachek said. “I am deeply honored and deeply thrilled to return home to the great state of Kansas and to serve this outstanding institution at such an important time in its history and in an important time in higher education.”

“
I am a big believer in hitching your star to a leader that has the best interests of Washburn at heart. She is fearless. She is strong. She is committed to students.
- Sean Bird Mazachek noted in the press conference that student demographics are changing and she is thinking about how Washburn can change academic programming to best prepare students for their future careers. “I learned that wherever you go in the United States they have the same challenges and issues that we deal with here in the state of Kansas,” Mazachek said. “And I do believe that I learned in that process how important it is for the president to be involved and to be leading conversations inside the campus about issues.” John Dietrick, vice chair of the Washburn Board of Regents, said that because Mazachek has been here before she can step in and keep things moving right away without having to learn them. JuliAnn Mazachek began her first day as president of Washburn University on Wednesday, Feb. 1, at Washburn Tech’s main campus, where she held a meet and greet with students and faculty. In the afternoon, Washburn University students were able to meet Mazachek at the “Sip, Sip, Hooray” event in the Memorial Union where coffee and hot chocolate was served. Her first day ended

with the “Pop By and Say Hi” event, another opportunity to greet the new president and grab a bag of popcorn. Mazachek was excited to begin her day as the first female president of Washburn meeting others in her community. “I really believe in working together and collaborating and I do have some ideas,” Mazachek said. “But, I intend to listen, meet with students, faculty, staff and people in the community and listen to what they think our best ideas are and then, together, develop our plan and move forward.” Sean Bird, interim dean of Mabee Library, has known Mazachek for more than a decade and he expressed that Mazachek would be a great leader for Washburn and is grateful she took the lead. “I am a big believer in hitching your star to a leader that has the best interests of Washburn at heart,” Bird said. “She is fearless. She is strong. She is committed to students. She is committed to the success of the institution, to the relationship that this institution has with the city of Topeka and the larger community.” Ernie Webb, director of strategic marketing and communications, also a Washburn alumni who graduated in 1999, has known Mazachek since he was an undergraduate. At that time, Mazachek was the dean of the School of Business. “My wife and I have sat with her and her husband at events and she has a good sense of humor,” Webb said. “She loves students and she’ll do a really nice job. I’m very excited to work for her.” Being familiar with Mazachek, Webb was able to describe her in five words: kind, caring, generous, professional and innovative. However, Webb also wanted to emphasize that Mazachek has a fun side that many don’t get the chance to see. Roughly two months into her presidency, JuliAnn Mazachek was invited to an event on Tuesday, March 28, held by Washburn’s Leadership Institute entitled “Pizza with the President”. Madeline Lambing, associate director of the Leadership Institute, was excited for

Mazachek’s attendance and what her insight could provide for students. “We asked her to share her story so the students could learn some life lessons and gain some nuggets of wisdom that they can take with them to think back on,” Lambing said. “Who better to get them from than the president of the university?” Mazachek’s speech during the event summarized two major lessons from personal experience. The first lesson touches on the importance of having the right people in one’s inner circle. “The only way you can get anything done is with the right people,” Mazachek said. “No matter how good you are, it doesn’t matter if someone doesn’t believe in you.” As a leader, Mazachek believes it’s very important to have an open mind and understand that there are many different points of view. She’s learned leadership styles from both those she admired and those who showed an undesirable reflection, but ultimately discussed how conversing with or disagreeing with others can help one learn. The second lesson Mazachek left with the audience was on building up good rapport with others, in which she asked the crowd, “How do you want to be known?” While treating others with respect and maintaining a good reputation is important, Mazachek ultimately says she values integrity above all else. “I think what resonated with many of our students tonight was knowing your values and what’s important to you,” Lambing said. “Who are you and what kind of leader do you want to be in the future? That’s a tangible lesson that you can use anywhere.”

During the first success week of acting as Washburn’s president, JuliAnn Mazachek announced two new initiatives for high school graduates from Shawnee County, May 4, 2023, in the common area of Morgan Hall. The mission of the new initiatives was to give Shawnee County high school graduates an opportunity for a more affordable education. “We appreciate our community and all that it offers our students. Shawnee County residents are Washburn students, alumni, faculty and staff. More than one-third of our alumni choose to settle here where they work and raise their families,” Mazachek said. “We are truly Shawnee County university. Together, we thrive. A thriving business community, a growing city and a local, high quality educational institution that together provide the very best environment for all of us to succeed. This is the magical triad.” Staring in fall 2023, incoming and current students of Washburn University will benefit from these two new initiatives if they are Shawnee County high school graduates from public, private or home-schools that have a GPA higher than 2.0 and have a valid FAFSA on file. The first initiative Mazachek announced was Washburn Shawnee County Thrives Scholarship, which will award students $1,000 once per academic year for four years. Shawnee County high school students and graduates are also expected to receive up to $750 for each year they are enrolled at Washburn Tech. The second initiative is the Washburn Shawnee County Promise Scholarship, which provides an opportunity for free tuition to students whose annual household income is less than $75,000 and who have less than $75,000 in assets. This scholarship is considered a last dollar reward, covering any remaining balances that Pell Grants or other scholarships don't cover.
JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH MAY “To Shawnee County residents who qualify for this scholarship, if you are committed to your Washburn education, Washburn University or Washburn Tech, we are committed to you and we will not let finances prevent you from earning a college degree. We promise,” Mazachek said. Charlize Easter, a sophomore mass media major, is a student who could potentially benefit from both announced initiatives. “I’m excited to see what happens in the future and I’m thankful for Washburn,” Easter said. “I haven’t ready the policy, but I think this means free tuition, and also my merit scholarship just went up $1,000.” Mazachek has shown a dedication to Washburn in past years and has already instigated changes that will affect a student’s experience in higher education in her first semester of leadership. As the first female president of the university, a fact that Mazachek says slips her mind constantly, she believes being a hard worker and being a “doer” has led to much of her professional success. The previous president, Jerry Farley, was said to have a running joke, “If no one wants to do it, Julie will!”. This statement is one that Mazachek says she still takes pride in as she loves bringing ideas together to innovate the community and prevent grass from growing underfoot.

Statewide Tilford Conference addresses disparity among students BY KYLE ETZEL & CHRISTINA NOLAND
T
he Michael Tilford Conference on Diversity and Multiculturalism was held Oct. 6-7, 2022, at Washburn University. Several dozen professors from universities in Kansas and two other states were on campus to participate in workshops and discuss their work at the conference. The conference is named in honor of Michael Tilford, who was a founding member of the Kansas Board of Regents Diversity and Multiculturalism Committee in 1996. The research presented will help attendees continue to advance diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging in Kansas education so that the full promise of Brown v. Board of Education may one day be realized. Keynote addresses were delivered by Royel Johnson from the University of Southern California and Alex Red Corn from Kansas State University. Johnson, who has authored two books, spoke about shifting away from what he calls “deficit mindsets” to more “equity-oriented mindsets.”
“Most of our students’ success is predicated on this idea that in order to be successful at our campus, they have to integrate academically and socially to white-normed environments,” Johnson said. “Some educators wrongly interpret a student’s disengagement as a sign that they don’t care about education. Is it that they don’t care or is it that we haven’t created conditions such that they feel they belong and feel compelled to be engaged?”

(left) A Captivated Audience: The audience in the Washburn A/B room applauds Royal Johnson after completing his lecture on structural belonging. Questions were taken from the audience for about 30 minutes following Johnson's lecture. 10
Red Corn, the executive director of the Kansas Association for Native American Education, also spoke about the importance of land acknowledgments and how to make them meaningful. KANAE states on its website that a land acknowledgment “explores the history of the land you currently occupy … and offers recognition, representation and inclusion of current and past Indigenous populations.” For 50 years, land acknowledgments by institutional organizations have become increasingly more common in Australia, Canada and the United States. Critics from all backgrounds have labeled them as hollow and performative. “Do you actually want to improve learning about Indigenous peoples and nations? Or are you just trying to check a diversity box?” Red Corn said. “To go beyond the acknowledgment and make them meaningful, we need to have action to go with it.” Most universities have celebrations, speaker series and identity-based groups which aim to close the cultural gap. “All of those things are important,” Johnson said. “But they’re not sufficient for addressing the institutional structures that make those programs important in the first place.” Earlier this year, the Kansas Board of Education formed the Kansas Advisory Council for Indigenous Education to create change. One of the first orders of business is to get schools with offensive mascots and imagery to retire these practices.
“Some folks are privileged to come to campus every day with no consideration of what happens in the world,” Johnson said. “When Black students are protesting statues that honor white men with ties to slavery, they too are raising questions that get to the essence of what it means to belong to a place that doesn’t seem to respect or value your identity.” Red Corn said KANAE is asking critical questions about student access to teachers and Indigenous languages in Kansas institutions. They are also uncovering how students are invisible to their institutions and work to inform them about the programs and laws stemming from the federal trust responsibility. “How are we preparing faculty, staff and students – especially those who are white – to interact and collaborate with minoritized students across race, gender, sexual orientation and other marginalized identities?” Johnson said. “So that they’re not reducing belonging for students?” No university in Kansas governed by the Board of Regents has made an official land acknowledgment, though several schools and organizations within them have posted their own available online.

Apeiron showcases students' hard work BY RHYAN CROPPER
W
ashburn’s annual Apeiron displayed diverse work from students across campus this year. Apeiron is an event that occurs yearly during the spring semester to give students an opportunity to show faculty, staff, fellow students and the Topeka community what they’ve been working on throughout the semester. This year, it was held on Friday, April 21, and sported Caribbean style food with vegan options. Courtney Sullivan, professor of French and chair of the Apeiron committee since 2018, has seen countless different types of presentations done. “It is a pre-professional research forum. By that I mean, if you go on to graduate school or into certain careers, you’re expected to present your research on an annual basis. Apeiron is similar to that, but for undergraduates and in a friendly environment,” Sullivan said. Apeiron welcomes different types of studentbased work to be presented in these formats, such as presentations, fine arts performances and poster sessions. Student participants in Apeiron gain experience to put on a resume and scholarship applications. “In the past we’ve had an opera singer who was a German major, and she sang in German. We’ve had science students present their research, computer science students present their programs or applications and filmmakers showcase their films,” Sullivan said. Jessie Revell, a senior secondary education and history major, presented at Apeiron last year. Revell applied for the WTE scholarship, which encouraged her to present a speech about her class trip abroad. “Last spring, I took a class called Women in World War II and part of that class was a 10-day trip to France. While we were there, I was looking for something that I could present at Apeiron that was reflective of my experience in the class but was also unique to the trip that I went on,” Revell said.

The knowledge Revell gained from her class trip to France inspired her to do further research and develop an oral presentation on a part of history that others may not know much about. “While we were in France, we learned about the Nazi occupation of Paris. The Vichy Regime, which was the leadership in France at the time, had taken it upon themselves to preemptively remove the Jewish population from the city," Revell said. "So, I told the story about the roughly 4,000 children who lost their lives after being detained and sent off to Auschwitz. It was a really emotional experience there, so it was really nice for me to be able to come back and share what I had been able to experience by going on that trip." Sullivan also shared that there are many benefits for students to showcase their work at Apeiron. “So, I think the biggest benefit is the gratitude of sharing your passion in your research with the community. The biggest takeaway is gaining experience in a friendly environment. It also looks great on your resume and graduate school applications," Sullivan said. Before the Apeiron poster presentations, Mary Sheldon, associate Professor Emeritus of English, gave The Last Lecture on Norwegian Detective novels. Sheldon taught professional writing courses for 33 years at Washburn and served as a consultant and offered workshops in professional writing for regional businesses, government agencies, and health and law enforcement agencies.

WSGA Hanes/Leffingwell administration make big changes BY TIANA SMITH & CHRISTINA NOLAND
S
hayden Hanes and Quinn Leffingwell invited Washburn University to grow with them during their term as president and vice president of the Washburn Student Government Association. The Hanes/Leffingwell administration was sworn into office Mar. 25, 2022. Right away they started discussions with Washburn’s administration to ensure the voices of the students were being heard. “When you talk about integrity, there's a whole thing, you know, walk the walk, but what is it you're doing when people aren't watching?” said Eric Grospitch, vice president of Student Life and advisor to WSGA. “That’s Shayden and Quinn kind of in a nutshell.” Hanes and Leffingwell based their administration goals off the idea of a plant. Their plans for Washburn were split into three main parts: starting with the roots, reimagining the petals and strengthening the stem. The administration embodied WSGA’s motto, students serving students, by creating an event they called the President’s Roundtable. This event, which they held four times during their term, invited at least one representative from each organization to attend the discussion. These roundtables were an opportunity for the administration to find out what was happening at the student level, giving them an opportunity to address concerns that otherwise may have never been brought to their attention.
“We’ve gotten a lot of good feedback on that, just to have a space where organizations can get together and actually talk,” Hanes said. “And then, on the flip side, a space where we can hear what students are really facing and problems that are occurring.” Early on in their efforts to represent student voices, Hanes/Leffingwell administration started discussions to reimagine the Top Bod awards for Washburn’s Homecoming royalty. Their goal was to make the award more inclusive by making it gender-neutral. The Homecoming award has historically had one female winner and one male winner who are decided based on resumes, a

(right) Up In Arms: Senate discuss concerns with a bill that would affect the cost of the student activity fee. Hanes and Leffingwell stated that the bill would allow the fee to change at the same percentage rate as the university's tuition.
“We kind of settled on the idea of Ichabod of Honor because we thought it made the most sense with what we're envisioning the award to be about,” Leffingwell said. “It’s kind of more regal and formal and it looks better on a resume.” According to Hanes, one of the largest changes their platform was designed for was raising the campus minimum wage for student workers and strengthening student foundations on campus. “Did we have to put pressure? Yes,” Hanes said. “I'm sure, you know, it would have been nicer, probably, for them for us to forget about it, but because we continued that added pressure, they did work with us.” After months of meetings with administration, the Washburn Board of Regents approved the new minimum wage of $10 an hour with the following levels of $11 and $12. Previously the student worker minimum wage was $7.25 with the maximum amounts students could earn being between $9 and $10.25 an hour depending on the position and how long the student worked that position. Hanes and Leffingwell commented that they discovered more than 100 vacant student positions on campus during their term, empty seats that could potentially have their funds redirected to bolster active student positions. Their efforts to increase student wages stopped at their efforts potentially increasing student tuition. “They [Hanes/Leffingwell] wanted the $15 an hour, student hourly wage, and I was like, ‘I want a $15 an
hour student hourly wage,” Grospitch said. “I can’t take a student position and pay it better than a full-time position, and $15 an hour would have done that, so that’s an issue we’ve got to work on.” Hanes and Leffingwell hope that future administrations in WSGA and Washburn work toward incremental increases in the student wage. “The work that has been accomplished has been great, but we're not done,” Hanes said.

ashburn University celebrated Homecoming week Oct. 19-22. This year’s theme was “Out of this World”. Homecoming gives students and alumni a chance to celebrate Washburn. During the week of Homecoming, the university offered fun events for students to show off their team spirit, such as Rising Stars, to help prepare for the football game Saturday, Oct. 22, against the University of Central Oklahoma. Saturday started off with a signature parade that was followed by a tailgate. Many organizations, such as Student organizations like Phi Delta Theta, Washburn Student Government Association, Alpha Delta, Leadership Institute, Kappa Sigma, Delta Gamma and many others participated in the tailgate by grilling out and playing cornhole with fellow students. “I was tailgating with Delta Gamma, which I am a member of, and we came together to invite the alums because that’s what Homecoming is about and it was really cool to see friends old and new across organization and within our own,” said Chloe Chaffin, junior in English secondary education and political science. “It was the best tailgating experience I’ve ever had.” Shayden Hanes, president of WSGA and senior in international business and marketing, enjoyed Homecoming and was pleased with the turnout. “Homecoming went over really well this year. It’s really fun to come together as a student body and celebrate our love for Washburn,” Hanes said. To end the day on a high note, the Washburn Ichabods won the football game against the University of Central Oklahoma with 37-9 final score. All Washburn lovers, old and new, were able to spend the week honoring their alma mater and relishing in its success.

Washburn celebrates its 'Firstgeneration Family of the Year' BY AJA CARTER
W
ashburn’s community is made up of students from all backgrounds and over 40% are reported as first-generation students. These students are defined by Washburn as any learners whose parents or legal guardians have not completed a bachelor’s degree. Washburn has many students who are dedicated to the university and often highlights them for their services. On Wednesday, April 5, Washburn recognized one of these students as the “Firstgeneration Family of the Year” at 4 p.m. in Mabee Library. During the celebration, JuliAnn Mazachek, president of Washburn, announced Jennifer Henson, junior social work major, as the recipient. Henson’s husband, Bill, and three children, Lucian, Declan and Olivia, were also recognized for supporting Henson. Henson is a hard-working and dedicated student maintaining a 4.0 GPA throughout her college career so far. She works as a connector
for other first-gen students on campus and strives to create a sense of community for other adult learners. Mazachek invited Henson to say a few words and receive her plaque. Henson expressed her thankfulness and pointed out that she didn’t make this achievement on her own. “First thing I have to say is I don’t feel like I’m any more deserving of this than any of my
“
Don't be afraid to show up. You are included. And yes, it looks different for us. But that doesn't mean it's bad and it doesn't mean that people won't work with you. You don't need to hide and the more you're out there, you're gonna feel more comfortable.

other first-generation students. I’m so honored to be chosen and I want to say I could not have done this without all of you either,” Henson said. She proceeded to thank her professors and staff for their support, mentioning how they were always understanding of her responsibilities as a mother and allowed her to bring her children to class when needed. Henson also discussed what this award meant to her. “This means a lot because this was a very hard road. I’ve spent many nights over the books just in tears because, I mean, it’s just hard,” Henson said. “So this is amazing, I feel

it’s worth it. Yeah, it’s all worth it.” Henson provided advice for other first-gen and adult learners. “Don’t be afraid to show up. You are included. And yes, it looks different for us. But that doesn’t mean it’s bad and it doesn’t mean that people won’t work with you,” Henson said. “You don’t need to hide and the more you’re out there, you’re gonna feel more comfortable.” After graduating, Henson plans on applying for her master’s. Mazachek describes Washburn as a “student-centered” college, where the focus is on all students and helping them be successful. For that reason, the university has programs in place to aid first-generation students in having their best college experience and fully integrating into campus.

Hanabi festival lights up the night BY GLORIÄNNA NOLAND
S
miles and fireworks filled the night at the International House Wednesday, Sept. 21, in celebration of the Hanabi festival. The International Club organized the event to simultaneously celebrate Japanese tradition and expose students, faculty and staff to a culture different from their own. “At the International Club, we celebrate many cultures and traditions, such as the Hanabi festival,” said Junnosuke Saito, president of the International Club and senior communications major. “We were supposed to celebrate it during the full moon, even though it’s already kind of gone.” Hanabi has a long history in Japan in celebrating spiritual beauty, becoming popular during the Edo period from the beginning of the 17th century to the middle of the 19th century. Fireworks were used as a method to ward away evil spirits during festivities. The food prepared for the event consisted of Japanese-style fried chicken called karaage, miso soup, a salad bar and chocolate covered fruit, all of which was served by the officers of the International Club with included Saimon Ghimire, treasurer of the club and data analytics and finance major, and Saito.

(below) Drawn In By The Light: The International Club hosts events and festivals for everyone. Paeton McCarty, senior political science major, had not planned to attend until he had seen the firework celebration on the south lawn of the International House.
Many students, faculty and staff attended because they believed it’s important for people to be exposed to different cultures, especially for local students. “It’s important because you’re going to make more friends. You can learn from other cultures,” said Costanza Armadans, freshman marketing major from Paraguay. “International students love when someone is interested enough to learn about their culture. It can make them feel so important.” For the main outdoor event of the evening, students were given small sparklers, each helping one another light their fuses before the night erupted into sparks and laughter. To one student who didn’t know about the evening event, the festival came as a pleasant surprise. “I was actually just walking by, but I thought I saw something interesting,” said Paeton McCarty, senior political science major. “I saw people and the sparklers. At first, I just walked away, but then I thought, ‘You know what? I might meet some nice people here or have a nice time,’ so I just went for it.” Students left as embers died out, each saying their own farewells to new and familiar faces at the festival, which was considered a great success by those in attendance.
Korean culture comes to campus BY SMERA SHRESTHA & SHELBY MUNOZ
O
n Thursday, Oct. 13, Sangyoub Park, associate professor of sociology, and members of his SO300 class “K-pop and Beyond” celebrated Korean culture with a festival to commemorate South Korean Hangul Day, also known as Korean Alphabet Day. Hangul Day is a national holiday, celebrating the invention of the Korean alphabet that annually occurs Oct. 9. Park's miniature K-Festival was held at the southeast patio of Henderson Learning Resources Center where students tried out ppopgi, honeycomb candy and played various games. Park introduced “ddakji” and “jegichagi” as his childhood games. Ddakji is a game played with two paper squares and is won when a players' card is flipped. It was also featured in the Netflix series “Squid Game.” Jegichagi, on the other hand, is similar to American hacky sack where a player kicks the jegi into the air and attempts to keep it aloft. Park also brought some ppopgi, or the famous dalgona from “Squid Game”, to share with his students, which he said took quite a long time to make. “For the last three weeks, I did get kind of ready for the K-Festival,” Park said. “I started making the honeycomb and spent a few hours every week.”
Riley Lang, junior in marketing, was excited to take a class that discussed a foreign culture and recommends all students take a class like this during their college career. "The class was a really unique and fun experience to learn more about a culture I have never experienced," Lang said. "Definitely take it if you're interested in other cultures." Park said that he wants the K-Festival to be an opportunity where students can be exposed to Korean culture and promote diversity. He also wants Korean culture to be an opening for students to learn about other viewpoints and he hopes to do something like the K-Festival on a larger scale in the Topeka area in the future.

A reunion to remember: "Andersen: A Fairy Tale Life" BY SHALYNN LONG, CHRISTINA NOLAND & SAMIKSHYA SUBEDI
P
resenting the young life of Hans Christian Andersen and his path to success, students, alumni and members from the Topeka community gave a mesmerizing performance Oct. 21 at the Neese-Gray Theater. “Anderson: A Fairy Tale Life” is a musical that portrays the life of Hans Christian Anderson. The adaptation was written by June McCarty Clair, who graduated from Washburn in 1966, John Clair and Derek Hakes. “June McCarty Clair was in the first group of students who traveled to Copenhagen in international travel in the 60s,” said Julie Noonan, associate professor of theatre and director of "Andersen: A Fairy Tale Life". “She was inspired from that trip to write about the life of Hans Christian Andersen.” The Friday, Oct. 21 debut of “Andersen: A Fairy Tale Life”, in addition to it being linked at the end of Homecoming week, marks the

50th reunion for those who took the trip to Copenhagen decades ago. The cast for the play includes Washburn students, community members and Washburn alumni such as Teri Walton '84 & '06, Leslie Carr, '04 & '08, Nicolas Carr, '05, and Hannah Kirby, '21. Children are also featured in the show, which was very important to Clair when she wrote the play. For Walton, she had three generations of her family performing. One of the lead actors, Joseph Coddington, senior voice performance major, plays the role of both teen and adult Andersen. Coddington said that he puts in a lot of work outside of rehearsals to fully prepare himself for the role, such as practicing lines, listening to the production's music to get a feel for the character and even personal research. “Andersen is really that ugly duckling character. He’s very awkward and gawky, very much like a misfit,” Coddington said. “He’s not your normal person. His character doesn’t pick up on social cues, but he’s very bubbly. He very much wants to become famous and be a writer, but then also he’s just an over-the-top person with such big goals, and he wants that to reflect on his personality.” During the debut of the play, the acting, singing and stagecraft displaced meticulous work that would have happened behind the scenes. The costumes matched the time the play was set in and songs ranged from upbeat to melancholy tunes.
“Writing a play and watching it being performed by actors after 50 years, I don’t have the words to quite describe it,” McCarty Clair said. “Musicals are one of the most collaborative of the art forms. It is very labor intensive, and it takes a lot of people to put it on.” The event brought together a long-anticipated reunion. Getting an opportunity to witness a delicate and heart-filling musical alongside Washburn alums was truly a wonderful opportunity to experience. PHOTOS BY CHRISTINA NOLAND

Health and healing through film BY AJA CARTER & SHALYNN LONG
O
n April 21-23, the mass media department held its annual Washburn International Film Institute film festival, also known as WIFI. This year’s theme was Health & Healing. Filmmakers from around the world sent in their films and various guest speakers held workshops. Friday, April 21 kicked off the festival in the Mulvane Art Museum with filmmaker Leonora Anzaldua. Among the awards or honors Anzaldua has received, she earned the Sun Cinematography Award and the 2020 American Society of Cinematographers Vision Scholarship. Anzaldua recalled hating her looks as a child because she didn’t have blonde hair like many of the characters she’d seen in the media. Because of this, Anzaldua decided that she wanted to amplify underrepresented voices through her filmmaking and photography. “The stories that included people that look like me, those people were not the protagonist, they were the antagonist,” Anzaldua said. “They had personalities that I didn’t relate to and it wasn’t the person that I wanted to be. There wasn’t the character that I wanted to be in the story.” The WIFI Film Festival continued into Saturday, April 22 at the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library and Arts Connect. This event featured workshops with multiple filmmakers, a woman’s panel and 30 featured films from 23+ countries. Over 106 films were submitted to the 2023 festival. One workshop focused on free writing with Dennis

Etzel Jr., senior lecturer of English at Washburn and award-winning author. Cinema therapy is a form of expressive therapy where one watches movies as a therapeutic tool. Etzel expressed this form of therapy for his own healing and inspiration for his writing. He also spoke on flash writing where one writes about whatever they’d like as a way of expression. Etzel stated that the goal of free writing is to keep your pen moving and to “discover whatever new things that might come out of letting go.” The end of the second festival day brought filmmaker Micah Brown to speak at Evergy Plaza. Bearing the chilly spring evening, many students and family members came to listen to Brown as he gave honest and open insight into his experience. One such story Brown shared was about his first big shot at filmmaking when he flew out to Thailand to make a film about prisoners physically fighting for their freedom out of prison. “Persevere, persevere, persevere,” Brown said. “Put yourself in a situation to help you work towards those 10,000 hours [of experience]. Watching other people’s stuff helps because it’s better if you’re critiquing the breakdown of what’s working or not working [in a film]. The reality of being an artist is that we are all terribly insecure.” Brown said. The final day of WIFI, April 23, was held virtually as winners to the festival were announced via Facebook Live.

A support rally at the Capitol BY CEE SPILLER & CHRISTINA NOLAND
O
n Thursday, April 13, Washburn students gathered outside the Kansas State Capitol to rally in support of transgender youth. The event was in response to House Bill 2238, the fairness in women’s sports act, passing. Among other parts of the bill, it restricts women’s and girls’ sports to only allow competitors of the female biological sex at birth. The bill was initially vetoed by Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, but the veto was overturned in an 82-40 vote on April 5. Kevin Williams, senior social work major and president of P.E.A.C.E. 4 Change, a student organization focused on prevention of interpersonal violence, was an organizer of the protest. “The best outcome would be to activate young people to go out and vote,” Williams said. “We need people to show up to the polls to vote because the people in office currently are not listening to the voices of the general population, especially the youth.” Williams’ idea to create the rally was doubly inspired by the newly passed law and another rally that happened for the transgender community at a similar time last year. Last year’s transgender support rally was a response to a conservative political commentator, Michael Knowles, coming to speak on campus. Williams described the protest as a team effort with individual organizations such as Unite for Reproductive and Gender Equity, more commonly known as URGE, which had a separate response on April 6 using chalk to write messages of support on the sidewalks outside of the Memorial Union.
For some protesters, the newly passed legislation was not about fairness in sports. “It’s all about the control for those that don’t want to conform to society,” said Bridget King, the incoming president of P.E.A.C.E. 4 Change and freshman social work major. “If you do the research, there’s three transgender kiddos in Kansas that play sports.” Although the event was in response to political issues concerning transgender people, some attendees had a message of acceptance, particularly for transgender youth. “I hope any trans students who show up today feel supported and loved and know that there are people within our state who want them to be who they are,” said Olivia Higdon, a Washburn alumni and first year student at Washburn Law. To achieve legislative change, Higdon encourages contacting legislators to express concerns with bills or other issues. “That’s how we do changes: contacting your representative and the more people who contact them, the more they’re going to move.” Higdon said. For rally attendees, they stood to support letting trans youth live independent of overbearing legislation on their lives.

A campus without water BY LESHA' DAVIS
O
n April 27, around 11 a.m., outside of the Henderson Learning Resources Center and near Lot R, a water main broke, causing a domino effect of multiple buildings being left without water. Students, faculty and staff who traveled to classes from Lot R had to tread carefully to get across campus. “One of my students’ pits was that they had to walk through a river to get to class,” said Jordan Noller, Student Success lecturer. “I am sad that we still don’t have water in Mabee Library and it’s about 4 p.m.” At 1:58 p.m., an email from WU Announcement stated that Washburn Village, the Art Building and Mabee Library would not have water while the main break in Lot R was being repaired. Brandon Shumway, a plumber from The Topeka Utilities Department, expected the repair to be complete around 5 p.m. “In the middle, there’s a big hole right on top,” Shumway said. “That kind of pressure kind of made it grow. Alongside of it, we’re gonna put in new pipe and water back on.” For Hailey Boswell, junior philosophy major, being without water for extended hours “sucks.” Boswell said that, as a transfer student who lives in the Washburn Village, there should be a protocol in place for situations like this. “It would be nice to kind of know what to do in these situations because I don’t know,” Boswell said. “Especially with it being my first semester here, it’s like, ‘Oh, where do I go for basic human things?’” Resident advisors of Washburn Village received multiple messages from students not being able to use their showers, clean their dishes, or use restrooms properly. “It's really difficult for them when they’re very distanced from campus, that doesn’t help a lot either,” said Liz Duvall, junior majoring in communications and RA for Washburn Village. WU Announcement sent an announcement at 7:07 p.m. that another break occurred and effected the same buildings as earlier in the day. The crew expected it to be fixed before the end of that night. At 9:45 p.m., a final update from WU Announcement reported that the water line was fixed. Water returned but with low water pressure for a few days and Lot R remained closed for a few weeks.

BSU responds to misappropriation BY KYLE ETZEL
The other side of the story BY AJA CARTER Thursday, Oct. 27, 2022, Holly O’Neil, associate professor of chemistry and interim assistant dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, was accused of practicing cultural appropriation. The English Department hosted its fourth annual Halloween party. O’Neil performed a dance at the party to Michael Jackson’s song, “Thriller” dressed in the pop star’s costume and wearing dark “zombie” makeup. The
video of her performance was posted on the English Department’s Facebook, then quickly deleted. Washburn University responded to the incident and began an investigation. Lori Hutchinson, interim director of public relations, reached out through an email. Here is what she had to say: “Washburn University is reviewing concerns raised about a costume worn by an employee to an on-campus Halloween party Thursday, Oct. 27. We are gathering information and hearing perspectives from the students, faculty and staff who were involved and have been affected before developing a response to the situation. Washburn's commitment to an inclusive campus community will be an important part of this review process."
T
he Washburn Black Student Union held a peaceful takeover rally in Morgan Hall Tuesday, Nov. 29, to highlight inaction by university administration regarding racism experienced on campus. Members of BSU spoke about several situations, such as unanswered requests for change from 2019 and not having their own space on campus, which members claimed made them want to attend higher education elsewhere. “I just want everybody to understand the situation that’s going on. Washburn is really known for hiding things,” said Janice Coates, senior social work major. “I want to be here and support everyone so they can get their stories out.” Speakers at the rally noted it has been 30 days since an incident occurred at a department party with no consequence publicly stated. Holly O’Neil, associate professor of chemistry and interim assistant dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Washburn University, was seen performing a dance dressed as Michael Jackson with dark makeup covering her face. “It’s not just about that. Absolutely nothing has been done to protect these Black students since 2019,” said Courtland Davis of the YWCA Northeast Kansas. “[Washburn] takes their money, their athleticism and their minds and gives nothing in return.” Speakers claimed there have been instances of racial slurs being used on campus and inside classrooms by two instructors. An instructor is also said to have used rap music in the classroom to “appeal to Black” students, and another has asked a student to examine the course curriculum for material that was inappropriate. Two alumni spoke to the crowd and said they experienced racism at Washburn and they are surprised that current students still encounter racism at all. During one speaker’s call for a required diversity course credit to graduate from Washburn, a professor from Washburn’s School of Nursing asked if the speaker had presented this to the Board of Regents. The professor, with her class, left the rally immediately after
On Nov. 3, The Washburn Review received a video of O’Neil’s Halloween performance and an up-close picture of her face with the makeup and shared the updated information with the public. Many began describing her attempts at zombie makeup as blackface. The University continued to investigate the situation, yet still had no statement. On Nov. 4, O’Neil emailed a statement to the Washburn Review stating: “I sincerely apologize for the unfortunate incident that occurred on October 27th and I am cooperating fully with Washburn’s review of the event. I appreciate the University looking into the incident and I support their efforts. My costume and makeup was a poor effort to look like a zombie from the “Thriller” video, and I meant no disrespect."

Farley's final farewell BY AJA CARTER, JONAS FARIA & CHRISTINA NOLAND
J
erry Farley became president of Washburn University in 1997. 25 years later, he retired in September 2022 as the longest serving president in Washburn’s 157 years. Jerry Farley's 25-year tenure as president of Washburn University was marked by significant growth and development, leaving a lasting impact on the institution and the Topeka community. During his time as president, Farley oversaw the expansion of academic programs, the construction of new buildings and facilities, and the increase in student enrollment. In his final presidential address on Aug. 30, in Washburn A/B within the Memorial Union, Farley shared his affection of Washburn with faculty and staff. “Together, you and students and community, the faculty, you all come together and you have accomplished a tremendous amount of things in the last 25 years that I've had the privilege of being here,” Farley said. One of Farley's notable accomplishments was the expansion of academic programs at Washburn University. He established several new majors and graduate programs, such as the Doctor of Nursing Practice, Master of Health Science, Master of Accountancy, Master of Communications, and the Master of Science in Criminal Justice. Among the great challenges of his term as president was the COVID-19 pandemic and that's why Farley recalled the protagonism of the faculty and staff during this period. “I am so very proud of how you, the faculty and you, the staff adapted during this tumultuous time,” Farley said. “While it was a challenge, your commitment to students never changed.” Farley's commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion on campus was also a significant part of his legacy at Washburn University. He established several initiatives to foster a more inclusive campus community, such as the Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan and the Center for Student Diversity and Inclusion. Under his leadership, Washburn University was recognized as a "Great College to Work For" by the Chronicle of Higher Education. Farley also mentioned his wife Susan a few times and how difficult it will be for both to no longer serve Washburn in the same capacity the long 25 years. “I have, as she does, mixed emotions about packing my office," Farley said. "We are going to have to stop and look back on memory lane about almost everything that
38
is in that office. I am proud of this, so much, of these accomplishments.” Farley attributed many of his accomplishments to the entire Washburn community, such as the new Student Recreation and Wellness Center, the new Living Learning Center, Residence Halls, and the new building for the School of Law. Farley also oversaw several renovation projects, including the renovations of the Memorial Union and Petro Allied Health Center and the expansion of the latter. Farley assured that the development of Washburn will not stop, because it was not he who did all this but rather the community. He also said that the university would be in good hands in the coming months, referring to Marshall Meek, interim president. “I will do my very best for Washburn University because I love this place,” Meek said. “I am very grateful for this opportunity, and I also want to convey that it would not be possible for me to have this experience without the talented team we have at the Alumni Association and Foundation.” As a final request, Farley asked those present to keep the best interests of Washburn at heart as a studentcentered, teaching-focused institution.

Jerry Farley surprised the crowd, filled with students, alumni, faculty, staff and community members, by aggressively ripping off his signature blue bow tie and throwing it into the crowd before the clothing change.
“Washburn is a good place to be and will continue to do so. It is no longer [tearing up]... This is goodbye, everyone.” Farley concluded emotionally, nearly breaking down on stage. Jerry Farley's legacy at Washburn University is one of growth and progress. Danielle Dempsey-Swopes, director of University Diversity and Inclusion, described this transition as "very bittersweet". "It's good and bad. Change is hard, but it's also needed and important," DempseySwopes said. "We have to change in order to grow." On Friday, Sept. 30, president Jerry Farley took his last walk from the president’s office. Students, alumni, faculty and staff joined together in sending him off. As Farley walked out of Morgan Hall, he was met with cheers and applause. The marching band played the Washburn alma mater to commemorate him. At the end of the send off, students, faculty and staff were thankful for the work Farley put into Washburn University and wished him good luck in his future endeavors. Patrick Early, former director of public relations, retired Sept. 30 aligning with Farley. He believed that the next president will have large shoes to fill. “I don’t envy the person who takes his place. It’s hard to come in after a living legend, someone who’s changed the campus as much as he’s changed this one,” Early said. “I think it’s probably a good time for a change and continue to move forward.” Farley will continue his involvement with Washburn as president emeritus.

J
oseph Coddington, known as Joe to his close friends, is a passionate and talented individual. His educational path and involvement in various activities have shaped him into a dedicated performer with a focus on voice performance and theater arts. Born in the Kansas City area, Coddington has always had an interest in sports and performing arts from a young age. He found himself balancing his passion for music and theater, with helpful influence from his older sister, and his dedication to cross country and track during high school. As he finds himself the middle child of his family, between a cherished older sister and younger brother, Coddington embraces his role with a sense of humor and understanding. Coddington’s journey to becoming a voice performance major with a theater minor began when he joined the Washburn community as a cross country athlete. Originally, he was on a
42
cross country and track scholarship, but his fate changed when he was discovered by a professor during a music audition. After being put into more musicals on campus, this led Coddington to fully immerse himself in the world of music and theater, ultimately transforming his athletic pursuits into a flourishing artistic career. Coddington’s time at Washburn has been marked by extensive involvement in various student organizations, such as the Washburn Opera Theatre and Washburn Players. He has been part of numerous choirs, theatrical productions, and recitals. Throughout his college career, Coddington’s performances have received recognition and even accolades, including awards in musical theater competitions. As he approaches graduation, Coddington has multiple opportunities to embark on exciting possibilities. He contemplates pursuing further education through graduate school, which would provide him with specialized training and valuable experience for his future endeavors. On the other hand, he also envisions himself venturing into the professional performing arts scene, potentially moving to New York to explore broader opportunities. Throughout all these opportunities at Washburn, Coddington feels nothing but gratitude and values the personal attention and collaborative atmosphere that the university can offer because of its size. Through his hard work, dedication, and the mentorship of his professors, Coddington has grown from an aspiring performer into a versatile artist ready to take on the world of music and theater.
Megan Dorantes BY AJA CARTER Megan Dorantes, a senior in public administration, is heavily involved on Washburn’s campus. Dorantes grew up in Kansas City, Kansas, with her parents Christine Salas-Dorantes and Cesar Dorantes, and has always had a passion for learning and education. “Education was always the one outlet that excited me because I love learning things. I love being in new experiences and so I was always focused on education,” Dorantes said. Kelli Weitharn, assistant director of Student Involvement and Development, described Dorantes as a "fireball" who cares for all students. They met when Weitharn began working with Student Life and the Campus Activities Board (CAB). “She loves hosting the fun events, but she's also very interested in just people learning from each other and growing,” Weitharn said. Dorantes knew that she wanted to attend college after high school. She was adamant about finding a university that would be out of her element because she wanted to meet new people. Dorantes narrowed her search between Emporia and Washburn as they each had great education options and weren't too populated. She settled on Washburn after receiving large amounts of mail from the university. “I was like, they really must want me here,” Dorantes said. Dorantes began her college career and has since been involved in several organizations. She is the president of Gamma Phi Omega and the cultural programs director for CAB where she focuses on bringing culturally appropriate events on campus for students to enjoy and learn from. Dorantes was the diversity and inclusion director for the Washburn Student Government Association (WSGA) for two years but is now a senator and also helps with other events and activities from time to time. Dorantes will graduate in fall 2023 and is excited about what her future has in store. This is the first time Dorantes is without a plan. “Freshman year, I came in and I had a plan. I was like, boom, I’ll graduate and get my master's,” Dorantes said. “Then, in the next two years, 2025, I would be eligible to run for mayor [of Kansas

City, Kansas]. Then college happened and I’m like, I don’t want to do that right now.” She encourages other students unsure about their future not to stress about their exact plans. “Have fun while you're at college, experience life in different capacities, in a safe way. But also understand that if you came with a plan and that plan changed and you’re about to graduate without a plan, that is okay,” Dorantes said. Dorantes is happy to have gained true friends and great opportunities. She believes it's good to be involved on campus for these reasons. “It's, one, finding that sense of community, two, putting yourself in new experiences and positions, but then also just having fun,” Dorantes said. “Getting involved is another way to find out different aspects of you that you enjoy and being able to see what else you can accomplish.” She advises students to enjoy their years in college before dealing with the adult world and take care of their mental health first, but ultimately push outside of one's comfort zone and have fun while doing it.

The future is theirs to sculpt BY KARLI BAYLISS & CHRISTINA NOLAND
W
ashburn Art Club is back to being an active student organization after a two-and-a-halfyear hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The club was officially reestablished in the fall 2022 semester by two art students looking to make an impact on their department and the Washburn community. Kaitlynn Ray, senior painting and drawing major, and Camryn Bollinger, senior graphic design major, became the co-presidents of Washburn Art Club at the beginning of the fall semester. Ray and Bollinger were excited to restart the club after their advisor and assistant art professor, Bobby Tso, brought it to their attention. As they took the club into their own hands, Ray and Bollinger decided they wanted to see some changes. “The club used to be more toward just potters. This time, we want it to be more general. Any artist – not just art majors or minors – can come here and join the club. We have some club members that are studying communication, biology and criminal justice,” Ray said. Their motivation to renew the club lies in giving
44
all Washburn students a chance to take a break from studying and get their creative wheels spinning. “I think when you're stuck in a major like that, there's a lot of coursework and stuff so you might not have the time to express yourself. Maybe a part of them misses that about their past, in high school or something like that, and so by being in the art club they can have the opportunity to do that again,” Ray said. Another factor in Ray and Bollinger’s decision to continue the club was the future art students who would be able to reap its benefits. “When I was in my first or second year here, I would have loved to have joined something like this,” Ray said. “If there was a club that was being run and we could join it, we'd probably be in these positions or close to it by now anyway. It kind of sucks for us that the only time we can get involved in it is our last year, so we're hoping that we can have a good jumping-off point for other people that are interested later on.” The co-presidents believe this was a successful first year for the new Washburn Art Club. The club hosted
a pumpkin carving and painting event and an exquisite corpse event in the fall semester. The club then kicked off the spring semester by hosting a “throw night” Feb. 15, 2023. At this event, students were instructed on how to create pottery using a potter’s wheel and were free to sculpt a piece themselves. Cody Dannar, senior dual studio art and history major and Washburn Art Club advisory board member, volunteered as a student teacher for the throw night event. Pottery is one of Dannar’s many passions, so he loves being able to share his knowledge and skills with students who are curious about the art form. “I like to see a student finally get a piece thrown that they like,” Dannar said. “It takes a lot for a fresh student to get something that they actually enjoy. I like to see the look on their face when they finally get a cylinder or something that they can take home and say, ‘Hey, look what I made.’ I like to see how proud they are.”

Ray agrees with Dannar about how rewarding the pottery event and other Washburn Art Club events can be for students. “Sometimes when you're in your daily life, you try to have so much control over everything,” Ray said. “Being on the potter's wheel, you really have no idea how something's going to turn out. You don't even know how it's going to turn out when it gets fired. That can be really exciting for people, especially if they may not think it's going to turn out that great, and then they get it back and they're amazed at how it turns out. It’s a different kind of excitement that people might not be exposed to that often.” In addition to the benefits students get from the art club, the art department also sees a positive impact on its awareness in Washburn’s community. “We do events to get the word out about what kind of art we do, but also encourage those to come in and experience art. We want to get people into the Art Building and see what that building is all about. We’re on the athletic side of campus, so no one really comes down to see us. We’re kind of forgotten about. So we’re trying to advertise that we’re here, and we’re important to the university,” Dannar said. Students can expect even more events from the art club next year, as it is only getting started. Ray and Bollinger would like to hear from students about what they’d like to see from the club going forward.

Avaya Dhungana BY ISAAC DEER & CHRISTINA NOLAND
A
vaya Dhungana came to Topeka, Kansas, in August of 2021 enrolled as a Washburn University student. Born in their hometown of Kathmandu, Nepal, Dhungana’s family played a large role in his path to Washburn. The university was recommended to him by his sister, who was enrolled in Washburn at the time. With a family member at the same university, traveling outside of the country for higher education didn’t appear as such a daunting task. Dhungana came to the states having already earned a bachelor’s degree from Kathmandu University School of Management (KUSM) in Kathmandu, Nepal. KUSM is recognized as one of Nepal’s most prestigious business programs. Dhungana specialized in human resources when he graduated in the summer of 2019. Before Dhungana arrived in Topeka, he worked for a top insurance company in Nepal, Premier Insurance Co. He worked full-time to gain practical experience and fine tune his work ethic. Once at Washburn, Dhungana began his master’s program in general business
46
and management, which required 30 additional credit hours of higher education. Impressively, however, Dhungana earned his master’s degree within a year and a half, graduating Washburn in December of 2022, by taking three classes in three separate semesters and extra courses in the summer. Dhungana played multiple roles while on Washburn’s campus, but a significant role he held was with Washburn Student Media, where he was employed as its hiring manager. He earned this student position just two short days after arriving on campus. In this position, he focused on his studies while contributing to Washburn Student Media in a field related to his interests and degree path. He constantly learned new things, realized how a successful team environment worked with different cultures, and was surrounded by uplifting and supportive people who were always willing to help. Dhungana is thankful to Regina Cassell, the director of Washburn Student Media, for believing in his work and for the opportunities to contribute. He also appreciated the learning environment Washburn provided and has tremendous gratitude and appreciation for the professors, students and student-staff at Washburn and the relative ease in which he could build relationships with those on campus. When not at work or in an office setting, Dhungana has several hobbies. He loves playing soccer, watching anime, singing and playing the guitar and would spend as much time as possible with his hobbies with any free time a master’s student could potentially have while at Washburn. Towards the end of his path at Washburn, Dhungana accepted a job offer from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment as its Employee Analytics Coordinator and has been working there full-time since he graduated in December of 2022.

or Anna Fifer, senior mass media major with a concentration in film and video, creating films within classes provided key experiences to help fuel her career as a film producer. Fifer grew up in Belvue, Kansas, finding out about Washburn through its music programs. She regularly took flute lessons at Washburn and became a mass media major after researching what its film department had to offer. According to Fifer, the classes that delivered the most were the film courses in which students were part of a real-life production team and assigned roles such as casting director, producer, or writer. “What you learn is just so rewarding because you literally put your every last piece of energy that you have into class and the outcome is absolutely amazing,” Fifer said, describing the end result of some of her film classes. Although Fifer was thoroughly impressed by Washburn’s film classes, she believes that classes dedicated to specific roles, such as director, producer, or cinematographer, would provide more experience. The aim of such a class, as Fifer believes, would help individuals gain a high level of experience in each respective career. Just before the beginning of her final year at Washburn, Fifer moved to Los Angeles, California, where she currently runs her filmmaking company, JukeBox Studios, LLC. This meant that the few remaining classes she had needed to be taken remotely. While on campus, however, Fifer was president of Washburn Filmmaker's Association (WFA), a student-run organization at Washburn that allows anyone with interest to experience what it’s like to make short films. “I made sure we did actual projects,” Fifer said. “For example, we’ll do short films. During our meetings, we would watch movies and I would invite guest speakers in. WFA got a lot of notice throughout the whole [mass media] department and also the university.” Fifer became president after WFA had been negatively affected by COVID-19, as the pandemic hurt many organization’s attendance for months. That said, Fifer emphasized the importance of inviting speakers, such as Anna Elizabeth James, director of “Deadly Illusions”, which was key to WFA’s success under her leadership.

(above) Keep Going and You'll Succeed: Anna Fifer, senior mass media major, moves to Los Angeles, California, and transitions from working at Best Buy to managing her own film production company. Fifer completed the remainder of her courses online and graduated in May of 2023.
Fifer graduated in May 2023 from Washburn University and mentioned advice for current or future Washburn students. Keeping in touch with her advisor, Matt Nyquist, was the reason she was always presented film opportunities. “It doesn’t matter what you’re doing,” Fifer said. “Even if you’re a fly on the wall, just be present. A lot of students have films that they’re doing outside of class, and they always need help on those, so just ask them if there’s any way that you can help with it or be a part of it so that you can get more experience.” Ultimately, Fifer describes having a successful career in the film industry focuses not on what someone knows, but who someone knows. To her, Washburn’s film program within the mass media department provided her opportunities for real world experience that got her to where she is today.

Washburn URGE: Breaking down barriers to reproductive accessibility BY RHYAN CROPPER & ANJALI TAMANG
S
ince its re-establishment in 2021, Washburn URGE (Unite for Reproductive and Gender Equity), a student-led organization led by President Chloe Chaffin, junior political science major, has been making waves on campus. With a mission to advocate for reproductive justice and comprehensive sex education, the organization has gained momentum and become a prominent voice for change at the university. Despite being only in their second year back as an official organization, Washburn URGE has already made a significant impact on campus through a range of initiatives, such as implementing accessible menstrual products in Washburn's bathrooms, offering free training on reproductive rights, and distributing kits for safe sex. Their efforts have empowered students to take action and sparked important conversations about vital issues. Chaffin, also the health and wellness director for the Washburn Student Government Association (WSGA), reinstated Washburn URGE as a sophomore after the
organization's 5-year hiatus from the campus. “While I was doing some coalition work, I met some of the affiliates of URGE at the state level and they informed me that there used to be a chapter of the organization at Washburn,” Chaffin said. “With their help, I was able to reestablish the chapter at Washburn, so I’ve been the president for the past two years but I’m hoping to hit it off now.” In just two years, the organization has made big strides towards their goal of reproductive justice. “We've been able to fill about 20 bathrooms on campus with free period products as well as providing those products to Bods Feeding Bods and other groups on campus,” Chaffin said. “We also do just general awareness tabling in Memorial Union where we give out ‘Sex Be Great’ kits that contain materials that promote safer sex and provide free sex education discussions for students.” Carlos Cedillo-Silva, treasurer of URGE, has been with the organization since its reestablishment and has

been essential to its accomplishments and connections made throughout campus. As treasurer, Cedillo-Silva manages the funds going in and out of the organization. “I reached out to a company called Flow and they give us a discount on their menstrual products which is nice,” Cedillo-Silva said. “We now have a partnership with Bods Feeding Bods where they’ve bought two years worth of tampons and pads to distribute to students in need.” While he's about to graduate, Cedillo-Silva is interested to see what’s in store for the organization in the years to come. “I hope URGE continues to grow and each year we continue to add more menstrual product dispensers to the bathrooms on campus until they’re in every single one,” Cedillo-Silva said. “The dream would be that the University will eventually sponsor this project.” In addition to URGE working on bringing impact to campus, the organization works with other groups to help bring about change on campus, such as P.E.A.C.E. 4 Change and Washburn Counseling Services. On April 18, Counseling Services, Young Women's Christian Association, WSGA and URGE hosted a candlelight vigil to bring attention to sexual assault and express support for survivors. Chaffin spoke about the tradition of candlelight vigils that began years ago. “I thought it was important to bring it back starting last year and this is our second year making it a tradition. I think it is really important because while college can really help people to grow and be stronger version of themselves, it can also undeniably be the hotspot for sexual assault,” Chaffin said. URGE appears to resonate with many students on campus, such as JoAnna Marks, junior political science major and director of diversity, equity and inclusion for WSGA, who expressed how URGE events help her feel supported. According to Marks, in order for survivors to heal, they need to be able to talk about their experiences in a safe and confidential environment. "People don't know a lot of sexual assault happens in teenage years because they are not aware of how sex and consent works on them. They might not even be aware that they may be sexually assaulting someone at that age," Marks said. Having accomplished so much already for URGE, Chaffin has high hopes and expectations for the organization's future at Washburn. “I hope that Washburn institutionalizes free period products in every single bathroom across campus because it’s an essential item that students need access to,” Chaffin said. “I just hope our organization continues to grow and break down the barriers to accessibility.”

aimon Ghimire has shown determination, academic excellence, and engagement while attending Washburn University. With a passion for economics and business, he has made the most of his time at Washburn University by actively participating in clubs, building leadership skills, and preparing for a promising career in corporate work life. Ghimire grew up in the city of Chitawan in southern Nepal. He attended middle school and elementary school there before pursuing his high school education in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. He moved to the United States at the age of 18 to attend Washburn University, a decision he made independently. Ghimire's parents have been supportive of his educational journey, allowing him to explore various interests before finding his passion in economics and business studies. Throughout his time at Washburn University, Ghimire has consistently demonstrated academic excellence. He has been recognized on both the President's List and the Dean's List for his outstanding academic performance. In his
50
first semester, he received the FYE Scholar Award from the First Year Experience program. Recently, he was invited to join the prestigious business fraternity Beta Gamma Sigma. Ghimire was deeply involved in various clubs and organizations on campus. He was a member of the International Club, where he has actively contributed to hosting events that celebrate cultural diversity. He served as a senator for the Washburn Student Government Association (WSGA) and connected with students and contributed to campus initiatives. Ghimire has also held leadership roles in business-related clubs, which includes Vice President of the Washburn Finance Society and President of the Institute of Management Accountants. Ghimire believes that staying in contact with your professor will help your college career greatly. He was at first hesitant to communicate with professors, and it made his early college years difficult. Over time, he learned the importance of seeking guidance and building connections with faculty members, which greatly enriched his academic journey. After his graduation in May of 2023, as he planned to enter the corporate world utilizing his triple major in finance, data analytics and economics, Ghimire accepted a position with Cummins Inc.'s Engine Business Unit (EBU) as a financial analyst. He credits his experience as an IT audit intern at Security Benefit during his undergrad in helping fine tune his skill set in financial analysis, data insight and management reporting. Ghimire encourages incoming students to embrace opportunities and resources provided by Washburn University. He emphasizes the importance of exploring various clubs, participating in career fairs, and taking advantage of benefits such as the free gym and printing services.
Jossie Hicks BY ISAAC DEER
J
ossie Hicks arrived at Washburn in the spring of 2017. Now five years later, Hicks is graduating in the fall of 2022 with dual bachelor’s degrees in English and communications. The road to graduation wasn’t easy for Hicks, but the journey to the end made it all worth it. Hicks is a full-time student and a full-time employee. Hicks worked at Fedeli’s restaurant as a restaurant supervisor. Some days Hicks would have to close the restaurant at midnight, come back later in the morning to open it up and go to class after she opened. The hectic schedule, along with involvement in extracurricular activities, made daily tasks challenging. In May of 2022, Hicks realized her workload was too much to handle. She decided that applying to Washburn could be a stellar opportunity for the senior. She was rewarded with a job on campus after she applied in the fall of 2022. Hicks works full-time as an administrative specialist for both the computer information sciences and physics and astronomy departments. With the responsibilities that Hicks took on, the reason why she came to Washburn was that she was in a relationship, and his mother moved here. She was getting older, so they thought they would move to Topeka for his mother's well-being and care. We were looking for colleges for me to go to around the area. Seeing that Washburn was in the same town that she would be living in, the decision was easy for Hicks to make. The Seattle native had to adjust to a new lowkey life in Kansas but quickly altered and made the best out of her life in Topeka. She didn’t realize how big of a fan of nightlife she was until she came to Topeka. In Seattle, every establishment is open at night, and in Topeka, there isn’t much to do once the sun goes down. Hicks wasn’t used to “everybody knowing each other,” and in Kansas, it seemed to her like everybody knew everything about everyone. One of Hicks’ proudest accomplishments while at Washburn was becoming the President of Sigma Tau Delta, the English honors society on Washburn’s campus. Hicks was also one of the five founding women that reestablished Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. on campus. Zeta Phi Beta hadn’t been on Washburn’s campus for around 20 years

until Hicks and four other women brought it back to campus. Outside of her time on campus, she enjoyed several different hobbies. As a typical English major would, Hicks loves to read books. Hicks spends a lot of hours reading. She is a huge fan of “Star Trek.” Hicks loves spending time with her dogs and crocheting in her spare time. Hicks wants to tell everyone reading this that the professors at Washburn are terrific. If you’re struggling, or need assistance or somebody to talk to, usually a Washburn professor will be there to help you. Professors want to help, and Hicks took advantage of those opportunities from professors and helped her succeed at Washburn. After graduation, Hicks plans on taking a bit of a break. She wants to try this wonderful thing she read about in one of her books called “sleeping.” After her break, she wants to start the process of grad school. Hicks wants to earn dual master’s degrees and earn her doctorate.

Paeton McCarty BY CEE SPILLER
W
hen deciding his major, Paeton McCarty didn’t need much of a push to go into political science. Although he was initially interested in history, concerns about a history degree not leading to many careers pushed him towards political science. Although his major was clear, McCarty has countless interests in what fields he wanted to minor in. Eager for his education, McCarty mentioned a long list of fields he found interesting to minor in at Washburn: philosophy, English, history, religious studies, military history, dead languages, and futurism. Although Washburn does not have a program for dead languages or futurism, the intellectual curiosity that lead McCarty to these fields will certainly carry over to his Master’s program, which he will begin in fall of 2023. Since graduating in December of 2022, McCarty works as a substitute teacher specializing in the humanities, specifically. In terms of how he views his career, he recognizes both the responsibility for education and for livelihood.

McCarty recognizes that a large part of being a teacher is your obligation to protect students: “It's up to you to take care of these kids, you're their teacher.” This also doubles as a way to help students feel welcome by asking the right questions of how students feel about school. When asked what he believed should improve at Washburn, McCarty gave a philosophical answer. He admitted that our material conditions could change; We could have tuition only raised by ten dollars, have better food on campus, or have a psychiatrist on campus, but most importantly, McCarty believes that curiosity is key. To him, being curious and eager to learn is the core of education at Washburn: “You have to be willing to use it, you have to willing to, like get there, get there in class, interact and ask questions.” Although this sounds difficult, McCarty believes that this curiosity can be inspired by several methods of learning. For students who struggle with science or math, learning could become engaging by tying those concepts to the bigger picture of our world. If you were looking into science, perhaps you could examine medical ethics. If you were looking at geometry, explore the history of the subject going back to ancient Greece. McCarty feels heavily accomplished with his experiences at Washburn University. For him, it has been not only an accomplishment of personal growth but also of academic accomplishment. For example, through his education he is able to better engage in meaningful dialogue even within harsh disagreements. To McCarty, his education at Washburn was an opportunity to engage with curiosity to expand his knowledge and outlook on the world.
Sangya Yogi BY ABBY LAFEVER AND CHRISTINA NOLAND
S
angya Yogi is a senior who is an international student and is double majoring in Data Analytics and Finance. She will graduate in May 2023 with a bachelor’s degree in both majors. Born in the Midwest of Nepal in a city called Cotai, a small valley, she grew up waking up to mountains on an everyday basis, a view which she misses. She has been at Washburn for three years and braved through the pandemic like many other students in her classes. Yogi describes her overall experience at Washburn short-lived but exciting. “I look back. It's like it went by so fast. I am happy with the choice I made here. I tried to take every opportunity, I am a person who likes to do everything at once,” Yogi said. Throughout her years here, she has had some achievements which include receiving the FirstYear Experience Scholar award, Dean's List and President's List, and more. “I also got the American Business Women’s Association Scholarship last semester, and this semester, I got the Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarship, which there are only 37 women in the world that get the award. So that was a big achievement for me,” Yogi said. Yogi has worked in multiple areas on campus including Student Media, Student Orientation counselor, desk assistant at the REC Center, and has been a tutor for the School of Business for a management information system class. Her most recent job is at The Office of Diversity and Inclusion as a student coordinator, she started as a student assistant. She has worked there for the last three years. Yogi has also interned with Security Benefit Group as a business systems analyst. “There are other organizations I have been involved in throughout my school life, many being very close to me such as Delta Sigma Pi. I’m the president right now. I am also a part of the International Club,” Yogi said. Saimon Ghimire, a senior finance, data analytics and economics major, is also an international student from Nepal and has known Yogi because they have had classes together. “Over the years, she has developed a bunch of leadership qualities in her, so she is just a good classmate. I've been with her in a few group projects, and she loves to lead a team and then provide valuable contributions,” Ghimire said.

(above) Do A Little Bit of Everything: Sangya Yogi, senior data analytics and finance major, is unable to walk across campus without being recognized by someone. Yogi graduated in May 2023 with two degrees during the three year's time she spent at Washburn.
He has known Yogi since their Freshman year and they worked together in Student Media a few years ago. Ghimire has noticed Yogi's work ethic and who she is as a person. “She is always looking for ways to better herself in terms of academics and extracurriculars and she is an amazing person,” Ghimire said. As Yogi reflects on her time here, she reminds herself to be patient and she would tell her younger self that. “I would say, be patient because, the first two years, I felt like I was not achieving anything, because I always have been very active, like, other than just not just my study, but I want to do things. Even as a kid, I always participated in different activities, clubs, whatever you can think of,” Yogi said. Yogi’s plans after she graduates are in the works but she plans on staying in the United States and finding work as a financial analyst, which aligns with her major and what she likes to do.

(left) A Change of Tune: Lawrence Abernathy, director of choirs and lecturer in the music department, began his Washburn career in the fall semester of 2022 and quickly brought change to campus. Abernathy lives and breathes choir and has heavily focused on recruitment and program development since his arrival.
Lawrence Abernathy BY TYLER SMITH
W
ashburn’s music department has gone through many changes in the past several years. The choral program in particular has been faced with multiple faculty changes and has struggled to increase its numbers, but Washburn’s latest director of choirs, Lawrence Abernathy, is already taking action to change that. Originally from Columbia, South Carolina, Abernathy said he was drawn to Washburn because of the campus culture and community. “I recognized many of the same qualities at Washburn that I did at my undergrad,” Abernathy said. “I knew that I wanted to go back and work in that type of environment if given an opportunity, because I’ve seen how special it can be.” Abernathy has performed in multiple professional choral ensembles, including The Cecilia Ensemble, which is where he met his wife. Since his start at Washburn in the fall of 2022, Abernathy has been working to grow the choral
168
program and recruit more students for the Washburn Choir, a student organization on campus. As both a conductor and a performer, he understands what singers are looking for when they decide on a program. “I firmly believe that good singers want to sing good music. And we have a bunch of good singers on campus,” Abernathy said. “So, the first thing in developing a program is giving them the right repertoire to sing that energizes them and makes them excited about getting involved in choir.” Abernathy has also focused heavily on recruitment, both by drawing in people on campus and also by visiting high schools in the area. He said the next step would be to put together a board of choir members that could help with outreach and recruitment. “Eventually we’d like to see as many people as possible in the ensembles,” said Abernathy. “And I think we’re working towards that right now.” Abernathy is providing new opportunities for choir members to grow as singers. In the recent past, the Washburn Choir has only been able to hold concerts together with the Washburn Singers, now known as VoxAura. Recently, however, the Washburn Choir held their own fulllength concert, an opportunity they haven’t had in several years. Abernathy’s efforts haven’t gone unnoticed by students. Bella Wood, junior integrated studies major and also the campus and community affairs director for WSGA, thinks that Abernathy has been doing a lot of good for the choral program. “I think Professor Abernathy has brought a lot of really positive change to Washburn’s campus. He’s focused a lot on recruitment and intentionality,” Wood said. “He’s revitalized the women’s choir, which is super amazing.” Abernathy said that when he’s not conducting the Washburn choirs, he’s usually still doing other choir-related things, which is one of the things he loves about what he does.
Joseph Kendall-Morwick BY SMERA SHRESTHA
J
oseph Kendall-Morwick, an assistant professor of computer information sciences, believes in inspiring and educating other people in computer knowledge and efficiency. Mousam Bhandari, freshman computer science major, who has taken a class previously with the professor, says that Kendall-Morwick has indeed inspired him. “He is always open to help students and has helped me through my first semester a lot.” Bhandari said. “He also teaches really well and inspired me to continue my pursuit in my computer science degree.” Kendall-Morwick was born in Columbus, Ohio where he got his Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science and Mathematics. He later obtained his Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy from Indiana University, Bloomington. Kendall-Morwick believes that programming would be his main hobby if it were not his job. As a computer scientist, he likes to think a lot about efficiency and natural resources. “I think about using resources efficiently,” Kendall-Morwick said. “Honestly, I think that is what led to my interest in power generators, solar power, electric cars and things like that.” In fact, he drives an electric car and has been very interested in ways to charge or power the car through the use of solar rays. “I have been messing with my own kind of grid, solar equipment that I can play with, and I would like to learn more about that,” KendallMorwick said. On another topic of efficiency, he talks about being a vegan. According to Kendall-Morwick, veganism is much more efficient as it is “plants to food” rather than “plants to animals to food.” He expressed that the direct consumption of resources made the process more efficient and more alluring to him. Additionally, he acknowledged the restrictions that came with

veganism. However, confessed that he liked the challenge. “The added constraints also force you to be more creative, which I like and makes it fun,” Kendall-Morwick said. Kendall-Morwick is also a do-gooder as he constantly involves himself with organizations such as Code for America, especially Code for Kansas City, and animal welfare organizations. He believes it to be a “mutually beneficial” relationship as he gains skills and experience while getting to feel good about what he is doing. Kendall-Morwick hopes that in the future, Washburn computer science students who are interested in civic work also take similar initiatives and get involved.

Rick LeJuerrne BY STUTI GHIMIRE
R
ick LeJuerrne, a lecturer at the School of Business, has been working for Washburn University since 2003. He helps student entrepreneurs establish their name in business. LeJuerrne was born in Wichita, Kansas, and graduated from Washburn University with a bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1991. Upon graduation, he got a job and spent three years working in Huntington Beach, California. In 1996, he earned his law degree from the University of Kansas. LeJeurrne loves reading business-related books but his full interest is in entrepreneurship. He grew up in a family where his grandfather and dad were entrepreneurs who built a company together. Therefore, he loves entrepreneurship and is passionate about helping others. LeJuerrne has been working with entrepreneurs for nearly 25 years, including under law due to use expertise of being an attorney. His classes on campus are often centered around business planning and entrepreneurial finance. Costanza Armadans, sophomore marketing and data analytics major, took one of his classes. "He creates a strong platform to help students
170
with the first step to starting a business," Armadans said. LeJuerrne said that his journey at Washburn began when he was hired at the Washburn Small Business Development Center as a business consultant. Although SBDC became part of the Washburn School of Business, his office was located downtown. Originally, LeJeurrne turned down an offer to teach as an adjust at Washburn. “Later in 2005, I taught one of the first classes on entrepreneurship, and in 2013, I became a fulltime professor," LeJuerrne said. His connection to the job and the university came about through his passion to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses. “The student business accelerator fund is available to students who have ideas and want to start developing their business, which we’ve been doing for the last seven years,” LeJuerrne said. He mentioned that college is the only time in students’ life that they’re going to be surrounded by many people who are working in various areas professionally. So, they should connect with as many fellows and friends as possible on LinkedIn. Students should take some risks, put themselves out there, and take advantage of those critical connections that will make a difference. “If you want to have a life of independent wealth and happiness, there are many different pathways to get there. I think the best career path is to start a business and be an entrepreneur. I think there’s nothing else that makes your life better than being a boss, creating a product and being an owner, not just a labor employee,” LeJuerrne said. He believes that starting a business and being an entrepreneur is the best career path for students that leads to a quality life with independent wealth and happiness.

alerie Mendoza, project director for the department of academic affairs and a WU 101 instructor, advises students to never give up when under stress. Mendoza is originally from Topeka but has lived in Maryland, California and Ohio. She believes in helping and comforting students as they adapt to the campus environment, as well as inspiring and educating other people. Mendoza elaborated that she likes the idea of helping students who are from different communities and helping students to adjust in college. “Everybody comes to college excited with lots of ambition and wants to do big things. Thus, watching people grow and letting them know about university really gives me peace. I’m still trying to figure out my dream job, but what I do now is pretty close because I like helping students achieve their dreams. I’ve always been fascinated with buffalo. I think it has to do with a combination of living on the prairie and traveling in herds,” Mendoza said. Pratikshya Pokharel, freshman nursing major, is taking one of Mendoza’s classes. He believes that Mendoza is supportive of her students. “She’s kind hearted and really helpful. She is always very flexible as well as friendly and added that she’s also a good professor and her teaching style is really good,” Pokharel said. Mendoza graduated from local high school and then went away to college in Maryland majoring in history. After getting the undergraduate degree, she went to California and got a master’s degree and doctorate in history. “In my spare time I read mysteries, historical fiction and young adult, my go-to genres, walk my dog, or practice yoga. My favorite TV show of all time is ‘Gilmore Girls’ although I’m also a fan of ‘Yellowstone,’ ‘Succession’ and ‘Wednesday’,” Mendoza said. She likes historical fiction books. One of her favorite books is a memoir titled “Enrique’s

Journey” written by Sonya Nazario. The memoir is about a teenager from Central America who immigrated to the United States all by himself to find his mother and tells a narrative of hardships and peril. Mendoza also enjoys Chinese food. She used to live in San Francisco where there was a huge ChinaTown and that is where she got the real Chinese spirit from. She enjoys her mom’s cooking a lot which is mostly Mexican food.

M
atthew Nyquist is an assistant professor of mass media at Washburn, primarily teaching film and video classes for the department. From a small town in western Kansas, Nyquist completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Kansas before he headed west to earn a graduate degree from the University of Southern California. He is very passionate about teaching film. Nyquist enjoys showing up for his students which means coming to set or watching the films they have done. He is also a film buff but that doesn’t mean he only knows of the big title type of films either. “I truly believe in my students and their ability to do what they love for a career,” said Nyquist. “The skillset, mindset and work ethic are the keys to the kingdom and I try to instill that as much as I can.” While studying at USC he was able to learn from people such a George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and more. Nyquist has learned from people in the industry while in Los Angeles as well. He worked on the “Warner Brothers” studio lot and was able to work on sets such as “The Hangover” and “Cabin in the Woods.”
172
“His passion for teaching is incredibly obvious and his enthusiasm is infectious,” said Adin Replogle, senior mass media major. Nyquist not only takes pride in teaching students about film and video, but also takes pride in showing students what the industry truly is. Nyquist enjoys bringing in guest speakers that were former classmates of his during his graduate program at USC to speak with Washburn students. Some of the speakers that have come to Washburn include Allan Holzman, Anna Elizabeth James, Sev Ohanian and many more. “Matt brought real industry knowledge and experience to the program that had never been there before. He also creates and finds opportunities for students to grow wherever their interests are,” said Ethan Jackson, mass media alumni and former student. Nyquist’s positive qualities go beyond the duty of being a professor. He has a positive aura that seems to follow him, and it shows in his interactions with his students. He encourages them to follow their passion, shows his pride in their work and ensures to validate their work. However, while positive and uplifting, Nyquist holds his students to a high standard to help them further their passion. “I would tell new students in Matt’s classes to not be afraid to talk to him outside of class. He is very kind and encouraging to his students and he is always willing to help them succeed in whatever they are passionate about,” said Kristen Grimmer, assistant professor in the mass media department.
Davy Phillips BY JEREMY FORD
H
ere at Washburn, a lot of people have to be full-time students and part-time workers. Some students have to stabilize being an athlete while others have the struggle of being head of clubs or organizations. While many may be able to manage that, not many can balance the workload like head women’s soccer coach, Davy Phillips. Phillips has been exposed to soccer for most of his life. He has been coaching soccer since 1999, starting out running a rec team in high school. His professional career started in 2005 and he has been coaching at Washburn since 2016. He has been an incredibly successful coach for Washburn, but coaching isn’t his only spectacular feature. Phillips has been a father for 8 years, and his team has been beside him every step of the way. Phillips has two daughters and both youngsters may as well be a part of the team. These kids are at the games, cheering on their “teammates” and at practice watching the team work hard and laugh together. In return, the team attends the girls’ soccer games with poster boards, cheering them both on. “My kids really look up to them, they think that what the team does is really cool,” Phillips said. It means a lot to Phillips that his daughters have such good role models in their lives and it also teaches his players the importance of how you want other people to look at you, a lesson Phillips hopes those he coaches will take with them for the rest of their lives. “Being a father gives you a patience you can’t describe until you’re a father, and so I’ve taken that patience into coaching naturally and developed more patience with my team," Phillips said. Phillips has learned a lot about coaching through analyzing strategy and playing, but he has learned just as much about himself and coaching through his family. Phillips cares a lot for his team and his players, and senior and defender Carlee Thompson is very appreciative for that. “Davy has become a huge part of my life from being a great coach on the soccer field to a father figure and supporter off of the field," Thompson said. "He truly is a family guy and emphasizes the

importance of it. He never fails to show us his love and support and treats us like we are part of his family. I know that when the time comes and I am no longer a college athlete, Davy will always be there to support me and offer help.” Being a coach means you see girls come through your program, grow as individuals, and then fly off into the world. “I cry every senior night, my goodness. Girls who have graduated now since I’ve been here are having kids, so you share that dynamic with them. I serve as kind of a father figure here on campus and then when they have kids I get to share that with them. I can only hope it’s preparing me for my daughters when they reach that age.” Phillips said. Phillips coaches soccer for a living, but he is a full-time dad and husband when it comes down to it. Phillips loves his family to the moon and back, and he has the amazing opportunity to extend that gift of family to his team and his players.

Silvestri incorporates tabletop mechanics, such as those found in D&D, into all of his upper level history classes to help students process and retain knowledge in class.
Tony Silvestri BY ISSA "MOGLI" PROUT-BENOIT
C
harles Anthony Silvestri, known to many as Tony, is comparable to an Irish coffee. Irish coffee is an alcoholic beverage made up of the smooth Irish whiskey and decorous black coffee. This drink perfectly captures Silvestri’s vibe. Most students know Silvestri as a lecturer of the history department, teaching multiple “survey of history” classes at the 100 level and numerous 300 level history classes. Silvestri is a storyteller who can make an entire class period fly by without his audience ever losing focus. Silvestri is a fan of the game Dungeons & Dragons, and he brightens up his upper division classes by incorporating the roleplaying element into the curriculum. Students take up roles and live through prominent times in history, such as ancient Rome, the age of pirates and traditional Japan. He teaches these classes on a rotating schedule where the focus of a semester is a different time period. Silvestri is a traditional Irish musician who plays shows in Lawrence with his band every week and even ventures out to Kansas City sometimes to jam out. He mixed his love of music with his love of history in the class “World History of Music” which he co-teaches here at Washburn.
174
In addition to being a educator and Irish musician, Silvestri is also an acclaimed poet and choral lyricist. “I’ve written for almost 100 composers in the past 20 years, and I’ve published a ‘kajillion’ pieces of music,” Silvestri said. He has written lyrics for the Washburn Choir as well as many professional and renowned composers. One of Silverstri’s most notable works is “The Sacred Veil,” a 12-piece ballad with music composed by Eric Whitacre that he wrote based on the relationship between him and his late wife, Julie Silvestri. The narration spans from their meeting, expanding to their marriage, the birth of their two children, her diagnosis of ovarian cancer and then ultimately her death. “It’s powerful for me to touch that wounded spot in my heart again and again,” Silvestri said. Silverstri understands that experiencing such a heart wrenching musical arrangement may be the only way some people can work through their own tragedies. Silvestri admitted that he is reaching the point in his almost 40-year teaching career where he’s contemplating retiring. “Teaching is a joyful thing, I love students and I love being in classes,” Silvestri said. Silvestri began working at Washburn in 2006, because he both wanted to continue teaching and because it was part of the healing process. It has been almost 20 years at Washburn for Silvestri, and after aiding so many students and imparting so much wisdom, he feels satisfied in this goal. He expects spring 2025 to be his final semester at Washburn. “I plan to continue to visit classrooms and to give master classes forever,” Silvestri said. Alan Bearman, professor of history and interim executive director of enrollment management thinks they’re worth taking. “Professor Silvestri is an amazing instructor,” Bearman said. “And I recommend that everyone graduating from Washburn should do so only after sharing a transformative educational experience with him.”
In Memoriam: Dr. Mary MenningerCorder Washburn faculty and staff were saddened to learn of Dr. Mary Menniger-Corder's passing, Saturday, Feb. 18, 2023. This loss hit the School of Nursing especially hard. Menniger-Corder received her BSN from Washburn's School of Nursing in 1978 and was always proud to share that she was a Washburn graduate. She earned her PhD in Nursing with a minor in Nursing Informatics from the University of Kansas in 2010 and obtained a Post-Masters Certification in Health Education from Washburn in 2018. Menniger-Corder taught at Washburn and Washburn Tech since 2009. She also served as the Director of Health Occupations at Washburn Tech from 2014 to 2016. While she began a phased retirement in August 2022, she taught Health Assessment lab, Nursing Leadership, Nursing Fundamentals, and a Palliative Care elective. She also taught Nursing Theory in the School of Nursing Graduate Program for several years and especially loved to work with her WU 101 students. Menniger-Corder received the Achieving Excellence Award in 2021 from Washburn and also received the CTEL Dedication to Teaching Excellence Award based on receiving a CTEL Certificate of Teaching Excellence Award for five consecutive years. She also won numerous Faculty Teaching Excellence awards from School of Nursing graduating classes. Menniger-Corder was passionate about helping students, and with her colleagues had a contagious enthusiasm for teaching. Her door was always open to anyone who needed to talk. She would often stand in the hallway to catch students as they walked by. While teaching her leadership class, Menniger-Corder met individually with every student to learn more about them and find out their goals. She made countless study plans for students and worked diligently to help students successfully pass their NCLEX-RN examination. One of Menniger-Corder’s favorite TED Talks was

(above) The Heart of the School of Nursing: Dr. Mary MenningerCorder, taught at Washburn since 2009. Her passion for helping students succeed was just one example of Dr. Menninger-Corder contagious enthusiasm as she believed students who weren't able to do something just meant they hadn't learned it "yet".
“Power of Yet” by Dr. Carol Dweck, as she believed an important message for students to hear is that if at first they weren’t able to do something that it just meant they hadn’t learned it “yet”. She knew each student had tremendous potential and worked to help them achieve their goals. Her son Ben said it best when he shared her last moments: “Her impact was so wide even in the room last night as she passed there were multiple nurses who had learned from and with her.” Washburn School of Nursing is so grateful for its time spent with Dr. Mary Menninger-Corder and all she did to help students learn and grow. She will be greatly missed by all. A memorial service was held at Washburn University's Memorial Union Sunday, Feb. 26 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requested contributions be made to the Dr. Mary Menninger-Corder scholarship at the Washburn University Foundation.

Washburn recognizes its rock stars BY AJA CARTER
E
very year, Washburn holds a ceremony to recognize and honor faculty and staff for their dedication to their work and students on campus. This year the ceremony was rebranded as a celebration titled “Washburn University Rock Stars.” The celebration was May 2 in the Memorial Union and was well attended by faculty and staff. Former president, Jerry Farley, was also in attendance and was recognized for his 25 years of service. Washburn’s faculty and staff were glad to be recognized for their efforts. Stephanie Lanning, the University registrar, spoke on her thoughts of the event. “I thought it was fabulous and it is great that Washburn recognizes the faculty and staff, support staff, everybody that works here,” Lanning said. “As an employee here, it’s nice to be recognized for your hard work.” According to several attendees, this year’s celebration was less formal compared to past years. Previously, these ceremonies were seen as more “serious,” yet attendees were happy with the new change. “It was really great to have a culture of celebration today where it was encouraged to clap and cheer and celebrate the people who have done a lot for university,” said Christina Foreman, student success evaluation and retention specialist. This year’s ceremony also featured performances from student singers, adding to the celebratory atmosphere. In addition, five students were recognized as the student employees of the year. Pateue Moore was awarded in the category of diversity; Bryce Liedtke in critical thinking; Rachel Henry in technical and innovation; Logan Ayers in leadership and Elizabeth Pendergrass in community service. JuliAnn Mazachek, Washburn’s president, ended the celebration with a few words congratulating those with awards and thanking others for their dedication to Washburn. Mazachek also made a few announcements regarding tuition for faculty dependents and summer work schedules. She explained that faculty dependents could now continue their studies at Washburn with 100% of their tuition being covered. Before, faculty dependents could attend Washburn with half of their tuition being covered.

She also stated that there would be changes to the work schedules over the summer, so that faculty and staff would have more time off. Although, the details of this change are still undergoing. Many of the attendees were ecstatic at these changes including Eric Grospitch, vice president of student life. “We were looking at different ways to retain and keep faculty and staff, and this is one of those perks that was really within our area to make happen,” Grospitch said. “The hope is that not only will our kids come and be part of the campus, that they’re more likely to be engaged, they’re more likely to pull other students into events. So it really kind of gives us the best of both worlds to that process.” Grospitch added that the change in summer schedules was “great.” He explained that faculty would still work their 40 hour weeks, but that by noon on Fridays they’d get the chance to go home early.

Jeannie Cornelius, director of academic advising, has served Washburn for almost 37 years since joining in 1986 as an administrative assistant in biology. As a working adult who gradually earned her degree through Washburn's educational benefits, she developed an empathy for students who question their ability or stamina to complete postsecondary education. Cornelius has played a transformative role at Washburn, both in the academic lives of students and in creating a proactive model of academic advising. Rugena Hall, assistant to the president, retired with nearly 29 years of service to Washburn. She began her career in 1994 in the vice president for academic affairs office. Since 2001, she served the president's office. Hall provided indispensable support to the president, remaining in contact with many student employees to this day. While planning events and serving on several committees, Hall earned her degree from Washburn, utilizing staff benefits to take classes while employed. Donna McMurry, office coordinator, will retire with nearly 19 years of service to Washburn, exclusively to the School of Law. McMurry served as a valuable resource to the dean's office and is known for her collaborative and inclusive approach and unwavering commitment to Washburn's values and mission. She received the WU Staff
Administration Support Outstanding Service Award in 2016 and 2022, also being named staff person of the year for the law school on multiple occasions.

Letter from the Editor BY CHRISTINA NOLAND
I
’ve learned a lot about project management in the last year. I’ve nicknamed this yearbook, an everchanging entity, “The Beast.” One nugget of knowledge I've learned is that everyone walks around with at least one of their own beasts. You never know when friends, family or strangers decide to face their beasts head on, as it’s frequently a decision made in solitary. However, the journeys that can follow are nothing short of a wild ride. This story is mine. In the spring semester of 2022, I applied for editorin-chief of Indigo Magazine for the 22-23 academic year. I was a managing editor for the Indigo Magazine and didn’t mind if my role changed or remained stagnant because I love working on print publications. I always prepare questions for the end of interviews, but I brain-blanked during this one because I was more concerned with a different area of the organization. “Has anyone applied to be editor for the next yearbook?” I asked the Board of Student Media. “No.” I had a pretty solid idea of how much change would likely occur on campus in the 22-23 academic year. The university would have a new president after 25 years. The law school was moving across campus and getting a new building to boot. This would be the last year for junior varsity basketball teams. Among other goals they had, WSGA was going to loudly advocate to increase student employee minimum wage. The list goes on. To this day, the most reckless question I’ve ever asked during an interview was to be considered for duo roles as the editor-in-chief for both the Indigo Magazine and the Kaw Yearbook. Why reckless? Because it was all on a whim. I believed that the upcoming year would be one everyone would ask about 20 years down the line. Not hearing anyone take up the mantel of the yearbook struck me more than I thought it would. Of course, the spontaneous question of mine was matched with equally serious questions on what I planned to do with the book. I later found out that I was not only given the editor role for the magazine but also for the yearbook. I spent summer preparing. I already knew how to strategically design books, but I was hit with a unique version of chaos in the months that followed, forcing changes in how I planned to manage a 200-page yearbook. We had no dedicated photographer. We had no office specialist to take on training the onslaught of new staff. I was pleasantly surprised to find out what some were capable of and disheartened to find out what work ethic truly meant to others. The year of chain reactions that impacted the Indigo Magazine, the Washburn Review and the Kaw Yearbook could get its own spin-off novel, but I digress.

(above) Print Publication Wrangler: Christina Noland, senior mass media major, rarely gets her picture taken. Noland was Editor-in-Chief for both the Indigo Magazine and the Kaw Yearbook during her final year as a Washburn undergrad. If I could go back and change how I approached both publications, I would’ve changed deadlines and how I ran meetings. I would've switched assignments and staff around earlier to better accommodate individual strengths. I would have changed some of the last elective courses I took, just for the heck of it. What I would never change, however, is asking to manage both print publications in my last year. I would never change the investment I made in myself in both photography and leadership style. I don’t regret making the difficult decisions required to manage multiple print publications because it forced some of the fastest professional developments I’ve ever gone through. Many choices I made consciously combatted regret. If I didn’t ask to take the yearbook, I’d regret not asking later. If I didn’t take time to aid stressed staff, I’d regret them having to struggle alone. These were frequently more difficult paths, but choices I would make again. Everyone’s “beasts” are unique. I would never claim to know how to properly manage a beast belonging to someone else the same way I cannot assume someone would properly know how to help me manage mine. These beasts, like change, can take on many forms -- physical, mental or otherwise. It’s how one chooses to face change that will inherently grant it power and simultaneously define true growth. Sometimes, aid or insight from someone else can make those transitions all the smoother.
