KATHLEEN WALTERS doesn’t remember there being any women in Syracuse University’s math department in the 1970s. Now, she serves as the first woman chair of SU’s Board of Trustees. corey henry photo editor
athleen Walters doesn’t remember there being any women in Syracuse University’s math department in the 1970s. Though her mother didn’t attend college, Walters said she wouldn’t have noticed the gender gap in her classes. She was raised in a family that wouldn’t notice or discuss such disparity. Her father, a lawyer, “forgot to mention” that women at the time weren’t welcome in all professions. And no one at SU placed limits on Walters’ aspirations. “I am who I am today because there was nobody that told me that I couldn’t be who I am today,” Walters said. Today, Walters serves as the first female chair of SU’s Board of Trustees, which oversees the university’s institutional decisions and fiscal policies. Appointed to the role in November 2018, Walters only sees herself as chair — no woman qualifier attached. Walters, a graduate of the Class of 1973, chose to attend SU because she believed the university was diverse and championed individual freedom. At the time, SU was progressively changing certain rules, like the closing times of dorms. In 1965, SU student Cindy Bailey lobbied see walters page 6

november hate crimes
Students gather for Hendricks Chapel vigil after hate crimes By Chris Hippensteel staff writer
After the campus experienced a series of hate crimes in November, more than 100 Syracuse University students, faculty and community members gathered at Hendricks Chapel on Wednesday to reflect. They stood on the steps of Hendricks Chapel in attendance of the Community Peace Vigil. The vigil was meant to help overcome the hate and pain of at least 16 racist, anti-Semitic and bias-related incidents reported on or near SU from Nov. 7 to Nov. 21. “Today, we gather because the past weeks have brought with them tremendous pain, followed by shock, grief, anger, fear and frustration,” said Brian Konkol, dean of Hendricks Chapel, in his opening statement. The series of racist incidents
sparked the creation of the black student-led #NotAgainSU movement, which held a sit-in at the Barnes Center at The Arch for eight days. The protesters presented Chancellor Kent Syverud with a list of 19 demands to meet by Nov. 20. If Syverud did not agree to the demands by then, the movement said they would call for his resignation. When Syverud declined to sign student demands at a Hendricks Chapel forum seven days into the sit-in, #NotAgainSU protesters walked out. The next morning, Syverud signed 16 of the protesters’ demands as written and recommended changes to the remaining three. #NotAgainSU continues to call for his resignation. On Wednesday, two weeks after the protesters walked out of the chapel, Konkol called for attendees to reflect on the events that reached a
fever-pitch on those same steps. “Believe it or not, the clouds will clear and the sun will rise,” Konkol said as rain and sleet began to fall on the crowd. After Konkol’s opening remarks, religious leaders from the Syracuse community addressed the crowd. Michael Balanoff, president of the Jewish Federation of Central New York, urged the university to call out hate speech and said that hateful language has no place on campus. Pastor Phil Turner of Bethany Baptist Church commended Syracuse students for combatting racism and encouraged them to continue to speak out. “Evil does not come at convenient times,” Turner said. “Evil comes when you’re busiest. For the student, it comes in the middle of finals week.” Imam Amir Duric, Muslim see vigil page 6

Senate supports student protesters By Richard J Chang asst. copy editor
Showing solidarity Syracuse University’s Graduate Student Organization passed a resolution supporting all future student protest movements after a series of hate crimes occured in November. At least 16 racist, anti-Semitic and bias-related incidents were reported at or near SU, sparking the formation of the black student-led movement #NotAgainSU. hannah ly staff photographer

Multiple universities experience bias incidents By Natalie Rubio-Licht asst. digital editor
Editor’s note: This article contains details about the usage of racial slurs. Multiple universities have experienced racist and anti-Semitic incidents in the past two months. At least 16 hate crimes or biasrelated incidents have occurred on or near Syracuse University’s campus as of Nov. 21. Hate crimes and bias-related incidents have spread to several universities across the country in the past month, including antiSemitic and racist graffiti, blackface and references to mass shootings. Here’s how those incidents compare to SU:
Salisbury University
Early last month, a racial slur was found in an academic building on Salisbury University’s campus. The building was also vandalized with the phrase “Sandy Hook comes to SU,” which was in reference to the 2012 shooting of an elementary school in Connecticut. Images of the vandalism were shared widely on social media. Multiple students protested the incident in the academic building where it occurred. Salisbury University has since announced the creation of a Chief Diversity Officer position. SU students studying in Bird Library on Nov. 19 allegedly had a white supremacist manifesto written by the Christchurch mosque shooter sent to their cell-
phones via AirDrop. A link to the manifesto was also posted on a Greekrank.com forum the night of Nov. 18. Chancellor Kent Syverud said the AirDrop of the manifesto was “probably a hoax” during a University Senate meeting on Nov. 20. The Syracuse Police Department is currently investigating the incident. SPD has not yet obtained a device that received the manifesto.
University of Georgia
A drawing of a swastika and the word “Heil” were found Oct. 6 on a dry-erase board hanging on a student’s door. On Nov. 9, another student found swastikas drawn on a name tag on their door and other doors in the hall. UGA President Jere Morehead sent a message to faculty, students and staff on Nov. 21 condemning the incidents. At least three anti-Semitic incidents occurred at SU in November. A swastika was found etched in a snowbank near Main Campus on Nov. 14. Two days later, Anti-Semitic graffiti depicting a swastika was found in Haven Hall. SU professor Genevieve García de Müeller received an anonymous email on Nov. 19 that contained hostile, anti-Semitic language and referenced the Holocaust.
Auburn University
An extension cord tied into a noose was reported in the common area of an Auburn University residence
hall on Nov. 20, according to a Twitter thread from AU Campus Safety. The safety department condemned the actions as “antithetical” to the university’s values. “A noose is linked to racial violence in our nation,” AU Campus Safety said in the thread. “Intolerance, intimidation and threatening behavior have no place on Auburn’s campus.” The individual responsible for hanging the noose has been identified as of Nov. 22. AU Campus Safety did not comment on “individual conduct matters.” Of the 16 reported hate crimes and bias-related incidents at or near SU campus, six incidents targeted black people. Racist graffiti targeting black people was found on several floors of Day Hall, and members and guests of the Alpha Chi Rho fraternity shouted the N-word at a black female student on Nov. 16.
Iowa State University
Multiple racist and anti-Semitic incidents were reported in October and November at Iowa State University, according to ISU Campus Climate reports. Anti-Semitic messages were written in chalk on campus, a photo depicted a student government adviser in blackface and a racial slur against Latino people was found in a residence hall. Students Against Racism, a movement protesting the incidents, formed in October following the racist and bias-related incidents.
More than 100 protesters with Students Against Racism marched to ISU President Wendy Wintersteen’s office on Oct. 30 with a list of 15 demands for the university’s administration. The protesters’ demands included bias training for campus police, clarity in campus-wide communication regarding bias incidents and a zero-tolerance policy for racism and anti-Semitism. ISU administration responded to the demands on Nov. 13. #NotAgainSU, a black student-led movement that formed in response to SU’s hate crimes and bias-related incidents, submitted a list of 19 demands to university administration. The movement’s requests were similar to those of Students Against Racism, including demands for mandatory diversity training for new faculty and staff and the strengthening of the university’s anti-harassment policy. Since Nov. 8, two racist or antiSemitic incidents have occurred at ISU. Wintersteen informed ISU on Nov. 13 of a Reddit post threatening physical violence. A swastika was also scratched into a residence hall door on Nov. 19. An ISU student was arrested and charged with criminal mischief and harassment on Nov. 24 for physically threatening their roommate. The harassmentincluded statements about the roommate’s race. nrrubiol@syr.edu @natalierubio_
Syracuse University’s Graduate Student Organization unanimously passed a resolution supporting future student protest movements and condemning the hate crimes SU experienced in November. GSO President Mirjavad Hashemi also announced the senate will support the #NotAgainSU movement and will make sure the protesters’ demands are implemented. #NotAgainSU, a black studentled movement, protested the university’s response to a series of at least 16 racist, anti-Semitic and biasrelated incidents that occurred on or near SU from Nov. 7 to Nov. 21. Chancellor Kent Syverud signed 16 of the movement’s 19 demands as written and recommended changes to the remaining three on Nov. 21. The resolution comes after #NotAgainSU requested the GSO’s support for the movement’s sit-in at the Barnes Center at The Arch, which ended Nov 21. Prior to the resolution, GSO Senate members had participated in protests but had not collectively expressed support. “The GSO firmly supports the First Amendment rights of students to advocate and debate without fear of reprisal,” the resolution states. “The GSO condemns in the strongest possible terms the acts of hate and terror that have taken place on this campus and those who engage in them.” The resolution also states that the GSO Executive Board will provide immediate support to students engaging in protests. This may include ensuring members are present at night when a sit-in may be raided by police and calling on teaching assistants to participate, said Jack Wilson, co-chair of GSO’s committee on civic engagement. The hate crimes and bias-related incidents constitute a direct attack on at least one-third of SU’s graduate student population, the resolution reads. It added that an attack on one member of the GSO is an attack on every member.
Other business
Members of two registered student organizations, Social Workers United and Religion Graduate Organization, pitched a concept for the Graduate Student Organization’s 150th anniversary celebration. The celebration would include a speech from Oren Lyons, SU alumnus and faith keeper of the Onondaga Nation. The event would also feature traditional Haudenosaunee food and a performance from A Tribe Called Red, a music group from Canada. Sarah Nahar, a member of the RGO, said the event will celebrate the struggles graduate students face in their academic career as well as see gso page 6

A
fter four semesters in house at the Daily Orange — plus one semester as a columnist — I cannot think of my time at Syracuse University without first thinking of that red door. 744 watched me grow from a little freshman columnist into a journalist. I spent many hours cackling, spilling tea and working here with some of the most talented people I’ve ever met. Thank you to the editors who taught me everything I know and thank you to the friends who were there for me along the way. Anna: If I were to describe you to someone that didn’t know you, I would just send them that emoji that smiles with both its hands up. You always light up whatever room you’re in, and whenever we’re together, our loud joking and joshing usually fills the room too. We can’t even stay sad for long because when we do cry it always turns into a joke like the infamous sad chair or our hit single from our second album: “Crying on the Promenade.” Though we always talked about wanting work-life balance, I know our priorities are most definitely in check as we only practiced with Les Foliage on D.O. Fridays and crafting is just our hobby — not our profession. Long story short, I’m so proud of you and how far we’ve come. I don’t know how just a year ago we were walking around Destiny making Build-a-Bears looka-likes of frat boys as now we’re mini adults who talk about our internships at major media companies. I can’t wait to watch you achieve all of your dreams because not only do you have the talent, but you have the work ethic to make it happen. Thank you for being my D.O. sister, my crafting pal and my adventure buddy. What are you doing on this side of town!? Los Angeles is calling your name! Meredith: First, thank you for keeping my biggest secret — I don’t think I would’ve lasted long enough to even have a duck if you shared to Kathryn and Aishwarya that I’m actually the worst environmentalist ever. I’m a sham! Thank you for not telling my editors about all of the disposable seltzer cans I went through during my environment columnist tenure. Phew, now that’s off my chest, the fact that I’m finishing out my D.O. years is as much of an accomplishment for me as it is for you. You have literally been there from the beginning when you were trying to get onto the advertising staff and I was an environment columnist. Thank you for helping me get through all the tough nights by never saying no to a latenight tea session. I will forever say that I want to be Meredith Lewis when I grow up. Not only because you’re destined to be an HBO advertising executive, but because you already amaze and inspire me with everything you do — your work ethic is unmatched. Thank you for asking me to be your roommate in the Newhouse GroupMe and for being by my side ever since. I hope you get a job in D.C. this summer because I don’t know how I’m going to go 8 months without living with you. But also because if we were in the same city that would be: paradise. Sarah: From day one we were in the same peer-leader group for Newhouse. Two newspaper journalism majors who eventually became friends and talked about applying for in-house positions together. Two years later we finally got the chance to work side by side in the same semester, and I honestly can say that I couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you for all of the smiles and the laughter. I don’t know how Pulp was blessed with two hilarious girls with the same sense of humor but they’re welcome! We are pure chaotic energy when we’re together and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Thank you for your beautiful words, I can’t wait to read you in Politico one day. Ghael: I wish we had more time at The Daily Orange together, but I can’t wait until we’re both back on campus in the fall. I can’t wait for more laughter and memories, hopefully some where we’re not dressed as members of the Disney Channel Games. I know you’re going to do amazing things, so I can’t wait to watch and say “I knew him when!” and get to cheer you on. Kevin: At The Daily Orange when the clock struck 11 and everyone started getting deliri-
ous, there was no one better to reenergize us and keep us laughing. I couldn’t have survived the late nights without you. I can’t wait until we’re hanging out in the real Food.com, eating Chicken Pesto paninis and maybe just maybe seeing ~pause for effect~ Margot Lee. *air high five across the Pulp room* Diana: The power of Pulp! Thank you for a great semester, the section did some amazing stories this semester and you should be proud of the section’s success. But also, thank you for the laughter and the dance sessions. I wish you so much luck in New York, I hope you have a great time. Amy: Is there anything you can’t do!? Design, digital and now feature writing. You are always such a light in the house, I can’t wait to see what you’ll do with the Pulp section next semester. Casey: You are probably the most talented and the most intelligent person that has walked through 744’s door — ever. I am so lucky to call you a friend. I would say that I’m looking forward to coming back to campus and finally hanging out outside of The Daily Orange, but I may have to wait until we graduate for that to ever happen. I can’t wait to see all that you’ll do at our new home and beyond. Dabbundo: You are probably the only BDJ kid I like. But that statement doesn’t give you enough credit because you’re just a genuinely wonderful person to be around. Thank you for some great memories, can’t wait to spend time across the pond together.
Kelsey: Where do I start? We shared our first semesters in-house together, thank you for being my first introduction to the house. Thank you for your advice on life and journalism. I always look to your feature stories for inspiration on how to write a beautiful story to this day. But most of all thank you for being someone that I have been able to look up to since my first semester in house. Also, me and Meredith are huge fans of your Twitter. Texas is so lucky to have you. Kathryn: Thank you for hiring me when I was a little excited freshman who just wanted to work for The Daily Orange. I’ve always looked up to you and I continue to look up to you to this day. You’re hilarious and I’m so glad our time at The Daily Orange overlapped for even just a year. Aishwarya: Op forever! Thank you for many memories on the op porch together. So much tea was spilled there’s no wonder the porch was sagging so much! If only we could’ve spilled some of that tea onto the Barack Obama chia pet. That poor thing still needs to be watered! Every time I see an update of what you’re doing in New York I smile. You’re an icon and I am looking forward to continuing to watch you kill it. Sessa: From the first time I heard about you — and that you were a boy scout and that probably meant that you could teach me how to tie knots — I was impressed. You thrived as a gender and sexuality columnist, as an assistant and recently as Editorial Editor. I can’t
wait to watch what you’ll do next. Brittany: Have fun with Op next semester. Opinion is a great section and I can’t wait to see what you’ll do with it. I know you’re going to absolutely kill it. Mandy: I am impressed with your copy editing skills, your reporting and your patience. Thank you for putting up with the shenanigans this semester, I hope you have a blast at The Daily Orange for the rest of your time here. I look forward to reading more of your amazing work. The power of Pulp! Chris: Whether you’re writing feature stories, news stories or sports stories — I can’t wait to read more from you. Rolling Stone most definitely WOULD (do the opposite of what’s written on Pulp’s ceiling, keeping this Duck PG). Izzy: You’ll soar in any career you choose, but after reading your Pulp stories this semester I hope that you stick with journalism. Pulp freshman writers: I hope that you love working at The Daily Orange as much as I did. Work on your writing, your editing and get an in-house position if you can. It’s a lot of work and it’s a lot of personalities, but if you stay true to yourself and your work, you will get a lot out of the experience. Mom, Dad and Em: Mostly, thank you for the late night calls that kept me company on my cold walks back from 744. But also thank you for always supporting me and celebrating me. I love you so much and I’m so lucky to have the coolest and most loving family ever.

Public service can inspire students
W
hen we were young, a question we loved to answer that felt so distant in the future was “what do you want to be when you grow up?” As we’ve grown older, that question has become more specific, more mature, and more complex. It’s turned into “what do you want to do after college?” and “what do you think you will do for your career?” Pursuing opportunities in public service after college may encourage students to be civically engaged citizens after graduation. However, public service is a field that many have thrown to the side for too. When people think of public service, they might think of a military officer in a distant country or a government bureaucrat who sits at a desk all day. But public school teachers, public defenders and nonprofit staffers are usually overlooked forms of public service. Whether it is for two years, 10
PAG E 5
years or an entire career, working in public service can be an enriching act that is beneficial to society. One could get involved in the Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, Teach for America, Habitat for Humanity, Doctors without Borders, or other organizations, all of which are forms of public service. “Peace Corps service is the opportunity of a lifetime and a chance to do the unexpected,” said John Holmes, the Peace Corps recruiter for central New York. “I would encourage those interested in serving to check out our website for high-need/scarce-skill positions, because they represent a wide array of ways to make meaningful, impactful change in communities around the world.” If you’re considering going into public service, think about what your motives are. Today, there are too many people who do it because it is what is “expected” or because it “looks good on a
resume.” But anyone who is truly committed to public service would tell you that public service is about a lot more than a line on a resume. It is a commitment to make a community better. Public service is an idea, it’s a mission, it’s a passion, and people should not jump into it for selfinterest. The point of public service is for the betterment of something greater than oneself, not the glorification of oneself. For us at Syracuse, we should all advocate for more people to dedicate time to public service. Despite the personal sacrifices, public servants are the ones who seek to create a better society than was transmitted to us.

D
ear Editor, Mr. Jensen asked “why some people are so afraid” following the racist graffiti, emails sent to a professor, a white supremacist manifesto air dropped and a Nazi swastika drawn in the snow. Really? Mr. Jensen resembles me – a European American (white) middle aged man. I fear that Mr. Jensen may be unaware of his privilege – the privilege to not be afraid of racist attacks. As an academic counselor working with low-income, first-generation college students at Syracuse University I am aware of the fear, anxiety and daily microaggressions that my students experience here at Syracuse. Violence can happen in many ways – while it may not be as vulgar as dragging a human behind a truck (James Byrd) or choking a person to death (Eric Garner) or beating a man to death (Vincent Chin,

In November of 2018 the Chronicle posted an article titled “Hate Crimes on Campuses Are Rising, New FBI Data Show.” In 2019 the NY Post ran an article titled “US college campuses are becoming increasingly racist, report finds.” “Besides violence, assault, and other traumatic events, African American and Latino males often experience more subtle and insidious forms of trauma.

I’m scared, I’m angry but I’m also not shying away from this fight. I stand firmly as an anti-racist and an ally to the many marginalized communities in this world. We must accept that white supremacy exists at the personal, cultural and structural (systemic) spheres and we must do what we can to reshape these spheres to make them accessible, inclusive and diverse.

walters and pressured university administration to allow dorms and sororities to implement their own residential policies. Bailey, a member of the Association of Women Students, thought the residential policies imposed upon female students were sexist, including dorm curfews. “Syracuse was leaning forward on these things, and so I consider it a momentously good decision,” Walters said. “Syracuse gave me my footing.” As chair, Walters is the university’s highestranking individual authority. She leads SU’s central governing body that makes a wide range of decisions — large ones like appointment of the chancellor and small ones like creating new courses and awarding honorary degrees. Walters served as vice chair of the Board of Trustees before becoming chair. She has worked on the board’s Executive Committee, Academic Affairs Committee and Budget Committee, among others. She held the role during “pivotal times” of university investment, growth and planning, said Steven Barnes, who served as chair of the Board of Trustees from 2015 to May 2019, in an email. “Kathy is a seasoned leader—a big-picture thinker and critical listener whose governance experience makes her ideally suited to chair the Board,” Barnes said. Deb Knoblock, a member of SU’s Atlanta Alumni Club, described Walters as a “cheerleader” for the university. Walters is passionate about SU, and wants to see it from page 1

chaplain at Hendricks Chapel, concluded the vigil by reciting a few verses from the Quran. After putting out their candles, attendees were invited into the Hendricks Chapel Noble Room for food and conversation. Students expressed approval of the speakers’ condemnation of hate speech on campus after the vigil ended. But they also acknowledged the

excel, Knoblock said. She met Walters at “Power Up Atlanta,” a panel held in 2014 that aimed to mentor young women and help them see the potential in their futures, Knoblock said. Walters said at the forum that men will often jump into an opportunity and take chances, while women will often question their qualifications and preparedness. Knoblock said she never saw herself receiving an opportunity to become head of a school, but when she did, it turned out to be a great fit. “Having heard Kathy speak a short while before that opportunity came my way really inspired me in my own career,” Knoblock said. “Seeing her lead the Board of Trustees is just further inspiration for what women can achieve.” About three weeks after graduating from SU, Walters was working in New York City, at Chase Manhattan Bank’s management development program. The job was “earth-changing,” Walters said. She was hired soon after graduation, but also with little money and an apartment that cost half of her take-home pay. There were about three women in the Chase program out of about 25 employees, Walters said. “That’s not a great percentage, but that would be better than one,” Walters said. “Chase was trying to change that ratio at that time.” Her marriage to SU football player Stanley Walters interfered with the amount of time she could dedicate to her career, she said. Instead of attending Yale University or New York University, Walters moved to her husband’s city of Philadelphia and received a master’s of business administration in 1978 from need for action by the university to make SU a better place for marginalized students. “I think the key is making sure people’s voices are heard. So once the concerns have been acknowledged, the promises have been made, let’s work on that,” said Charis AsanteAgyei, a graduate student at the School of Information Studies. “Let us know those promises are being acted on, that progress is being made.” cjhippen@syr.edu
the University of Pennsylvania. After graduating from Penn, Walters worked in several “old-line” manufacturing industries. She served as the executive vice president of Georgia-Pacific, a consumer product and paper company, from 2007 until her retirement in June. She also was president of the away-fromhome market of Kimberly-Clark, a personal care corporation, from 1998 to 2002. At Georgia-Pacific, Walters put an emphasis on innovation and pushed employees to further develop their strategies. She describes herself as a developmental leader rather than a hierarchical leader. Tom Armentrout, a member of the Atlanta Regional Council, first worked with Walters while she was employed at Georgia-Pacific. He’s been impressed with Walters over the years for advocating for women and minorities inside Georgia-Pacific, and said she’s now bringing that same sensitivity and leadership to SU. Armentrout referenced the campus unrest that has continued since Nov. 7, as at least 16 hate crimes and bias incidents have occurred at or near SU. Walters’ role as chair comes at a “fortuitous” time, he said. Walters released a statement Nov. 19 that expressed solidarity with the university and its students in light of the incidents. She supported Chancellor Kent Syverud’s response to the demands of #NotAgainSU, a movement led by black students in protest of the incidents and SU’s response to them. Though the Board of Trustees raises money for the university, protects its endowment and ensures it is a fiscally-sound institution, Walters said the trustees are mainly focused on from page 3

their diversity. SU needs a gathering that can heal the campus after the November incidents, she said. “Many of us have shown up to do this graduate work because there’s healing we want to do, internally, with our communities and with the world,” Nahar said. “That notion is common in Haudenosaunee heartlands.”
academics and the student experience. The board is working to ensure that the university’s deans have the professors and resources needed to create the academic programs future students will need. The university is investing in new professors, areas of cluster research and involving students in research, Walters said. The Barnes Center at The Arch, a multifloor health and wellness facility that fully opened in September, is a “signature piece” of the board’s work on the student experience, Walters said. As vice chair, she and her husband funded the facility’s pet therapy room. Syverud’s vision for SU as a student-focused research university resonates with Walters “at the highest level,” she said. She also expects innovation to occur at SU within the online classes and online certificate programs offered. “You’ll find a whole different world here 20 years from now,” Walters said. “You’ll have access to things that you just wouldn’t have ever had access to because you just wouldn’t have had time to pursue them all.” Walters said she has a strong belief in entrepreneurship and innovation. It’s something that was shaped by her father, a patent attorney, who taught Walters how to search patents. SU has a legacy of entrepreneurship, Walters said. The first female chair of the Board of Trustees, who just sees herself as the chair, said the university has a list of ‘firsts’ that it has never taken credit for. “If you think of all the firsts, you say, ‘well boy, wasn’t that entrepreneurial?’” News editor Casey Darnell contributed reporting to this article. esfolts@syr.edu | @emmafolts
Nahar added that the celebration will include discussion of pivotal historical changes in diversity and inclusion in GSO’s history since the organization’s founding in 1968. Wilson, who was formerly GSO president, said it’s important to find and celebrate this history because the senate puts a lot of time into large projects like the celebration. Multiple members of the senate offered to look in SU’s archives to find GSO’s history. rjchang@syr.edu

asst. copy editor fall 2018 | asst. news editor spring 2019 - fall 2019
I
t’s a little surreal to look back at my time at The Daily Orange. When I started writing for the paper in fall 2017, I was a quiet, nervous freshman who had no idea what she was getting into. The amount I’ve grown not only as a writer, but as a person, is almost unbelievable to me. There’s a lot to love about The D.O. The people. The opportunities. The laughs. The experiences that make the late nights, long days and stressful moments all worth it. But my absolute favorite part of The D.O. is the passion that is evident in every person, every day. Everyone there cares so much about the paper they’re producing and the stories they’re telling. Seeing that passion day in and day out for three semesters has been incredibly inspiring. I am so grateful to know a group of such dedicated people. Thank you to everyone who made my time at The D.O. possible, wonderful and memorable. Jordan and Sam: I had to include you both in the same message because the two of you together was the first impression I had of The D.O. Thank you both for working with me on my writing, reaching out to me with stories and encouraging me to apply for increasingly more involved positions. I would never be where I am in the D.O. if it wasn’t for you two, so thank you. Talia: Thanks for being the sweetest. I’m always in awe of how good you are at what you do, and I can’t wait to see what you continue to do in the future. Amy and Kevin: The best co-digital editors anyone could wish for. Kevin, I want to be sad that halfway through this semester you still thought I was a copy editor in news, but I’ll forgive you because I know you were super busy doing amazing work. Amy, you’re one of the kindest people I’ve met, and I’m glad to know you. I can’t wait to see you kill it in Pulp. Sarah S.: It seems like forever ago that we were on the SA beat together. I remember the end of that semester when we were both applying for an assistant copy spot and both nervous that we wouldn’t get one. I’m really, really happy we did. Colleen: I never thought I’d say this, but I’m so glad that I agreed to be a wingwoman for my friend, because otherwise I would not have gotten closer to you. You are so full of light, and seeing you always brightens up my day. I can’t wait to see all the amazing work you do in Texas. Kennedy: Hi! You’re so bright and wonderful. It was great to have you as a news editor, and I’m so glad I got to know you last semester. Keep killing it in Philly — I’m thrilled I can say that I worked with Gritty’s No. 1 fan. Richard: Thank you for all your hard work with copy this fall. You’re going to do great things in digital. Smile more, laugh a lot and have an amazing time next semester. Haley and Leffert: It’s been amazing to have such incredible, strong women as management this semester. Thank you for all the help and support. Leffert, if you ever need someone to pet sit a fish, hit me up. Diana: I’m so glad to have gotten to know you and to have spent so much time with you this semester. You can always make me laugh or make my day a little bit better. You’re obviously one of the most hilarious people I’ve ever met — you’re also one of the kindest. I hope we have lots more lunch dates in the future (ones where you don’t forget your credit card). Gabe: Wow, two semesters as assistant news editors together. It’s crazy how many days that is, but it’s even crazier how quickly the time went by. Thanks for nights of making me laugh, of reminiscing about when we were clueless staff writers and of working hard to figure out who is posting what stories. I’ll miss working with you each week, but I can’t wait to see all the amazing headlines that will be in your future. Have a wonderful time in Australia — I hope you get your dateline. Gillian: It was so exciting to see you grow as a writer while on the city beat, and I was thrilled when I learned that you wanted to be in-house this semester. I cannot wait to see everything you’re going to do in the spring. You’re an abso-
lute gem, and I’m lucky to know you. Emma: First things first, I’ll pay you $500 if you ever wear a pair of sweatpants to The D.O. How someone can look so fabulous everyday while working somewhere so time consuming, I will never know. But seriously, it’s been an incredible experience working beside you. I’m constantly in awe of your willingness to tackle difficult subjects and of your passion when doing so. Thanks for the laughs during late nights of production and for always having my back on why salt potatoes are so spectacular. Getting to know you and becoming your friend this semester has been an absolute joy. You’re unbelievably kind and thoughtful — and a ridiculously good baker. The D.O. news section is in good hands next semester. I’d wish you the best of luck, but I know you won’t need it. Nat: I’ve said it before, but I wouldn’t make it a week if I had to everything that you do each day. I am continually amazed by how much work you put in on a daily basis, and I’m forever glad that you decided to add The D.O. on top of everything you do.
The first time I worked with you was election night 2018. I didn’t know you at the beginning of the coverage, but by the end of the night I learned you were really cool, really nice and a great person to report with. I’m glad that I’ve gotten to know you even more since then. Thank you for your consistent support and constant kindness. I can always count on you to check in on how I was doing and to cheer me up a little bit if it was a rough day. If you ever need a friend to talk, vent or simply yell with, I’m always here. Casey: I’m not sure when you stopped being just my extremely loud, extremely talented coworker and became my friend. Maybe it was while sitting in the corner of news, laughing at whatever absurd thing you were saying. Maybe it was while driving you home after late nights of production. Regardless, I’m so glad it happened. I’ve never met someone who can be such a passionate, serious journalist while at the same time being such a ridiculous, hilarious person. You can make me laugh at basically any time of the day (especially when you laugh at your own jokes, which is often). But
you also never fail to remind me why journalism is so crucial and why it’s so important that we do whatever we can to make sure it’s done right. I’m lucky to know you and to have worked with you. Thank you for a great semester. You’ve done so much already, and you’re going to do so much more in the future. Please, remember to take a breath and relax a little. You deserve it. Alanna, Mallory, Lindsey, Lia: Thank you for the constant support and pep talks — and for listening to me talk about the D.O. when you knew nothing about it. I love you all. My family: Every single one of you are my biggest supporters in the whole world. I would have stopped writing after my first article if not for the love and encouragement you all gave me. Thank you and love you, always. The D.O.: On Sep. 27, 2017 my first article for the D.O. was published. I had no idea at that time how much of an impact this newspaper would have on my life. To everyone I’ve met because of The D.O.: Thank you for all the memories.

hat a year it has been. I’m a lot more emotional than I thought I was going to be, if I’m honest. In the middle of this semester, I was so exhausted and done with being in house. I couldn’t wait to get out. But now here I am, and I really do not want to leave. On the last day of production (a WILD one, at that) I lingered in the house around two hours later than I needed to be there. We should be proud of everything we’ve done. As a transfer student from the opposite coast, it was hard to find people that I meshed with. But 744 gave me a house full of them. Eva and Karleigh: Thank you guys for somehow making sense of our crazy graphic pitches. Ghael: I can’t wait to hear you on NPR someday. Thank you for bringing something amazing to the DO. Design team Fall 2019: You guys are absurdly talented for patching this paper together, especially this last week with stories developing until 3 a.m. I have so much respect for all of you. Sports Fall 2019: Y’all are so loud. But also talented. Great job this semester. P.S., Kill it in NYC, KJ. Brittany: You are going to kill it as op editor! Thank you for always spilling tea, and thank you for many drunk hugs at the Hotbox. Here’s to many more. Diana: You never fail to make me laugh! You are so funny and supportive and I am so happy we got to be in house at the same time. Great job this semester, and don’t change because you’re amazing. Aro: Thank you for being a constant source of laughter and fun in digital. You are genuinely funny and kind and I’m grateful to have met you. Haley and Leff: Thank you both for your
patience as a management team! Especially during a crazy move with the campus in chaos, you both held it together so well. Thank you for all you’ve done for the 2019-2020 staff. Richard: I wish I got to know you a little better. Don’t be afraid to speak up. Good luck as digital next semester, you’re going to be great. Gillian: You are an absolute ray of sunshine. Thank you for all of your late nights and hard work. Kennedy: You are an amazing human bean. Thank you so much for always keeping it positive in the newsroom. Miss you and love you lots. Café Kubal staff: I love y’all. Thank you for the free caffeine, not so much for the 6 a.m. shifts. Corey and Elizabeth: You are both so amazing and talented! Your photo skills have been a huge asset to the DO. You’re so sweet and I’m so happy I got to work with you both. Matthew, Madison and Sarah Turner: I’m so excited to actually get to see you guys next semester. Amy: You are so smart and talented! Thank you for holding digital together like glue this semester. You always manage to put a smile on my face and I am so glad I got the chance to work with you. You’re going to kill it as pulp editor. Kevin: Thank you for making digital such a fun and inviting place to be. I always knew I could go downstairs and hang out with you guys in the digital room if I wanted a break. See you at flip. Gabe: You are an absolute dork, and I cannot imagine the Daily Orange without you. Thank you for being by my side starting from covering the SA beat all the way to the end. Love you man. Also, if I don’t get at least 10 pictures of you with koalas when you’re in Australia, I will be mad. India: I will meet your 300 animals one day.
Also, we are gonna get buff next semester! Walk into the new house and be swole as heck. Get ready for the best work out of your LIFE. P.S., can’t wait to read your amazing future novel. You have been so incredible and so easy to work with the past two semesters. Emma: You are so amazing and set the bar so high for everyone. You have done so much and changed so much since we started as baby copy editors. You are one of the most brilliant and tenacious people I have ever met and I cannot wait to see what you do. Thank you for becoming one of my best friends. Casey: Thank you for a seamless semester, and thank you for being one of my best friends. You have held it together with incredible grace these past few months, even through some absolutely crazy sh*t. Please take care of yourself while you’re digital editor. You are always allowed to come to my house and nap on my
couch with me. I love you, man. Jack: Thank you for always catching me mid-mental breakdown. I really don’t know how I’m going to survive the next semester without you. You’re my best friend and I love you forever. I’ll meet you back in California soon enough. We’ll live the dream. Colleen: You my best friend, the best roommate I have ever had and someone who I can always rely on. It is so hard for me to think about what it is going to be like to walk into our apartment next semester and not see you there. Thank you, also, for bringing Rocky into our lives, because she always makes me laugh. I love you SO much and I know you’re going to do amazing things in Houston because you are incredibly talented, beautiful and amazing. I cannot wait to see what you do. Finally, thank you all for calling me Nat, not Natalie.
GABE STERN asst. news editor spring 2019 - fall 2019
N
ever has a word count screwed me over like this. Let’s get started: Hillman: God bless you for living in 705 this semester. You’re a rock, always listening to others and shrugging off small mishaps. I’m glad we got to work in-house for a semester together and that I could always walk into sports and annoy you. We’ve seen each other a ton this semester and I’m extremely thankful for that. Casey: You put your heart into every decision you make and you trust your gut, which I admire. You’re a realist in the best way and the most dedicated person I’ve met. I’ll miss your yells and random rants, and how you’re able to put things in perspective when sh*t gets hectic. Catherine, Haley: You two are incredible. You both run this paper so well and you always seem to have a plan, even when things seem crazy. Despite how hard your jobs are, walking into management is always strangely calming. Keep up the awesome work. Sam: Crazy to think that I knew you as some random news nerd my freshman year. Now I know you’re an absolute savage. Hopefully we’ll end up in the same city some time and go to some other random diner. Marnie, Maggie, Chris, Sarah: People underestimate how far staff writers can take a section. I’m excited to see how much further you’ll take it in the future. Nick: Here’s to stacking boxes in the back of the News-Press building last summer. And to that Popeye’s run. Corey, Elizabeth: You both rock. I admire both of your talents and positive energy. Visuals was the best room to be in this semester. Sarah S: I’m not sure when exactly we became friends but I’m really glad we did. I’ve loved seeing you almost every day this semester and you’ve saved me in class at least a dozen times. You’re incredibly selfless and a hard worker, which shows. Diana: You have the best energy of anyone in this house and you never fail to bring up everyone’s mood, no matter the situation. I’ll miss
walking into pulp just to dap you up. Period. Aro: Who would’ve thought we barely knew each other last semester. You’re hilarious and kind. Let’s hang sometime. I’ll cook you in pool. Talia: I can’t imagine The D.O. without you in it. Your dedication to this place is crazy. I’ll miss stumbling into visuals just to chat. Dabbundo: My greatest accomplishment at this place was winning that one sports bet against you. I don’t even remember what it was on. Crane: You hyped up my thrift jacket when no one else would. That’s love right there. Emerman: Smh bro, it’s been crazy. A straight movie. Working with you has been a wonderful journalistic experience. More importantly, you’re the funniest person here. I’ll walk into sports and start laughing for no reason cause you’re a goon. Mass forever. Kennedy: I’ll always be thankful for you hiring me and for trusting me with stories I didn’t trust myself with. You took me down a few notches and kept me down to earth, which I’m thankful for. Thanks for sending pizza during protest coverage.
Dan: Even a year later, some of my most meaningful experiences reporting have been with you. You helped my confidence as a reporter in leaps and bounds my first semester. Every time I’m around you I feel like I learn something new. Richard: What a relief to have another Boston sports fan nearby. If I ever start caring about the Bruins you’ll be the first person I tell. Gillian: I still don’t know how you’re able to manage all of the work that you have. I’m excited to see what you do as an assistant and beyond that. Molly: Dude. You’re f*cking awesome. I missed seeing you on a daily basis this semester and it sucks how we won’t be in the same place for a year. But you’re one of the best people I’ve met at The D.O. and incredibly genuine with everything you do. Nat: My fellow SA beat partner. I’m glad we both got in-house and became closer along the way. It feels like we grew up side by side here. You’ve earned everything you’ve come away with from this place, which is the fact that you’re an incredibly talented reporter. I admire your work
ethic and can’t wait to see what you do in the years ahead. Emma: I’m hyped to see how far you take news next semester. It’s insane how much you’ve grown from a quiet copy editor last spring until now, the best reporter in the house. I’ll miss your calm, relaxed, friendly presence and the banter we’ve developed this past semester. I’m glad we’ve become good friends, and you’re so easy to root for. India: You’re one of the kindest people I’ve met and one of the best editors out there. I remember turning in a sh*t A1 this semester, half giving up on it, and you sat there for over an hour and improved it one small decision at a time. For the first time I felt like that story mattered. You care about the small things that people tend to overlook and you’re a role model for how to be a team player and a good person. I’m proud to have worked with you these past two semesters. Anna H: Pretty unchill of you to leave for France this semester. I’ve had to hold back so many random fist-bumps. I miss you randomly walking into the news section and yelling at me for random sh*t. Also you showing up at my apartment and flipping over my furniture. Also, just hanging around while you give some hot take. You’re one of my closest friends at The D.O. and SU, and hopefully we’ll see each other before August. KJ: Who would’ve thought a NEW 205 profile could be so worthwhile. It’s crazy to think we’ve barely known each other for a year and a half. I’m glad to have someone in-house that I can be so raw with. You’re one of my closest friends at SU and someone who I know will be real, no matter the circumstance. You put everything you have into this place and it shows. Senior staff life is gonna be wild. We made it. Jorts: I’m back baby. Let’s get it. Shoutout Nick De$antis. Mom, Dad, Leo, Grammy: Thanks for being my biggest supporters. Liran: Word.

I
really strolled up to 744 and got blessed. Now, I know what makes a good lede, what’s a story worth writing and all the other tricks dedicated journalists know. But I don’t care about that as much I do about seemingly trivial moments. Like how Haley and I worked prodo in paint powder after covering the Holi celebration or any nightly jam session I had in digital. I miss it all, but I’ll definitely miss you guys more. Ali and Sam: You both took the biggest chance on me. Yes, Casey did lie when he said I knew AP style, but I am so grateful that he did. I’ve gained the best family out of this job and learned from the best duo the D.O. has ever seen. Love you both. Aro: My only request for you is to put down the cards from time to time and write a theater column. Please be the Pulp icon I know you are! Leff: You take charge girl. You make things happen. I learned a lot from you and I’m grateful you stepped in whenever I needed anything. <3 Talia: You have so much vision and made Pulp shine this semester. Thank you for creating some of the best looking spreads, inserts and front pages I’ve seen while I was here. You’re a star. Corey: How you managed to run faster than a marathon runner and still get stunning photos – I really can’t imagine. Thank you for making sure my reporter was still alive at the end. You go out of your way to make photos look so compelling. I always think, what would Corey do whenever I take photos, so hopefully I made you proud. Rori: I really hope I don’t look ugly in your documentary, oof I’m lying to myself. Rori, you were one of the first people to make me feel welcomed at the D.O. I love talking to you and seeing you come in this semester. Made me feel like it was Fall 2018 all over again. Love you girl. Billman: You’re a light and I can’t wait to see what other amazing moments you’ll capture. Andy: Spring 2019 was peak. That Jewish humor class gave us the time and energy to create some bomb jokes that everyone inhouse had no choice but to hear. Lydia: You knew from the jump I was a Pulp girl. How you saw it, I don’t know, but I’m glad you did. Izzy: Girl keep writing those Pulp stories. You’ve become such a strong writer in one semester, I know you’ll only get better. Chris C: Loved seeing you branch out of music writing. I know it was hard but the results, I mean come on. That RBG piece was GOLD. Keep writing and working on that cursive I want to see more great quotes on that fresh Pulp wall. LOVE YOU, MY TALL HERMANO <3 Mandy: You star. I am so blessed I got you as a copy asst. but I loved seeing the stories you wrote and creating a narrative. This semester alone, you’ve become such a strong writer. Keep making me proud and finding the kinds of people I’m always wanting to read more about. Cydney Lee: You’re fam at this point. I loved reading your pieces, D.O. or not, you have talent and know how to grip me in from the first graf. Please continue to write and be the writer I know you are. <3 Nabeeha: If you ever need a brown girl rant, I’m here to listen, period. Girl you really are such a star and I love seeing the work you produce for the Pulp section. More importantly, I love seeing you become your own throughout the semester. <3 MODS crew: You guys always gas me up. I have the best support system and I love the family that we all are to each other. Curtis and Chanel: You guys keep me grounded and let me rant. Love you both. Sandhya: You are my other half. I wanted to be just like you when I did copy and I still do cause you always have the best attitude. Thank you for dealing with me on all my questions. KJ: We came into the house together, now we’re leaving together and heading to NYC baby. Even though you annoy me I love you big time, G. You’re dramatic, but ugh so am I. Dabbundo: Thanks for always leaving my section when I yelled at you, lol. But a bigger
thank you to always saying something absurd, like your whole grape ideology. Sometimes I would say get out after you have finished your hot takes. <3 Gabe: Dab, fist bump, period. We always looked so flossy when we did our handshake. Nat & Emma: Casey was lucky to have both of you. He’s so extra but somehow y’all withstood all of that. A miracle. India: When you threaten Casey to leave News for Pulp, those were the best moments cause he really stood quiet for a second. You are so dedicated and always willing to pull through. Our Varsity runs with Casey we’re always fun and I can’t imagine sitting in that MAG class without you by my side. Kevin Camelo: “Calibra 2008” will live infamously within my, your and Amy’s hearts. Kevin you’re one of the smartest most talented people I’ve met at the D.O. How you whip up a whole splash page before deadline is beyond me. You’re fam and I couldn’t imagine speaking broken Spanish to anyone else but you. LOVE U, whoop whoop. Amy Nakamura: May the Power of Pulp be with you. Next semester is going to be sickening. The design, the art, the story, Pulp is going to look SNATCHED. I am so glad I met you, Amy. Some of my favorite moments this semester was coming to digital after everyone from Pulp left and just laughing with you and
Kevin. I swear the three of us know the best music and can really throw down. Mami, Dad, Paul & Abelardo: Luigi was the only one that really read my stories. I love y’all even when you called me during peak production hours. Y sí, tengo una jacketa. Sarah Slavin: I think it was the second week of Boll’s class I knew you were going to be the funniest person I’d meet at this igloo of a school. I’m so grateful you said yes to being asst. Lord knows you’ve made this section burst out laughing. But I’m more grateful I have you as a friend. I could always come to you and I would instantly feel better. Senior year, I know it’ll be full of antics. Allison Weis: You really switched up and came to Pulp, huh girl. Well, the section was blessed by you and I’m so happy I got to hear the daily hot takes and see the kind of work you produce. Allison, you wrote about ghosts. That’s crazy to me. I can’t wait to see you kill it for WaPo. Sarah and Allison again: I LOVE YOU BOTH AND PULP SHINED BECAUSE OF YOU TWO. Kelsey: Yeeeeeeeeer – I’ve lost count of how many times we’ve talked about Tom Holland and whether or not we’d actually be okay if he wasn’t in the Marvel Universe (the answer is no). You really just accepted me from day one. You taught me so much in one semester and
what’s crazy is that you’re still teaching me things. I see how resilient you are in Texas and I only wish I will be that strong when I leave SU. I love you, big time. Haley (the baddest) Robertson: I really don’t know how to thank you. Thank you for choosing me as your feature asst. but more importantly, thank you for being my friend. Some of the wildest things I did at the D.O. were with you. Yes, I’m talking about going to that winter carnival and seeing the real Syracuse. I’ve seen you make Pulp come to life and I only tried to emulate that when I was headed. I love you girl and I know next semester will only be better. Darnell: Deadass, attending UM would’ve been way more fun. We could’ve been tanning and wearing Hawaiian shirts for every interview we conducted (and no one would’ve judged us) but I am so glad our Broward butts came here. If lil’ Diana and Casey from 2016 saw us now, I swear their AP Chemistry textbooks and Arizona Iced Teas would’ve dropped from their hands. So yes, we’re paler, but ‘Cuse’s clouds couldn’t stop us from really popping off and shining. I love you, periodt. #954EVA Okay, I’m over this. Please when you think of me years from now, you play Normani’s “Motivation,” cause that was the anthem I needed all of Fall 2019. – That part, that part.

H
ey B*tches, When I found out I’d been selected to be the “From the Kitchen,” beat writer my freshman year I was excited to start working for The D.O. My family congratulated me, and I bragged about my “position” to my high school friends. Little did I know that holding that position would only be a small sliver of my incredible experience at The Daily Orange. The past three semesters have been everything I could’ve asked for and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. I’ve had the ability to work in two different sections and three different positions. I’ve grown so much as a writer and editor, but more importantly, I’ve grown as a person and met some remarkable people that have shaped my college experience in ways I never thought possible. This wouldn’t be a Duck if I didn’t thank all the amazing people who shaped my time at The D.O. So, here goes nothing. Lydia: Thank you for being such a great headed to work under my first semester in-house, and THANK YOU for hiring me, I wouldn’t be writing this if it weren’t for you. I know I can always count on you for great advice and have often thought of you as a “big sister.” I’m sad that we won’t have another somester together in ‘Cuse, but I know that you’re bound for big things. Rori: Thank you for being such a constant at my time in The D.O. Even when you stopped working in-house, I knew you weren’t far. I can’t wait to see your documentary, I expect to be in almost every scene. My experience making videos at The D.O. was short lived, but thanks for helping me with them every step of the way. Andy: I’m sad we only worked in the same section for one semester, but every night you worked I knew that digital wouldn’t be quiet. Thank you for understanding my humor and laughing along with every dumb thing I said. You made my time in digital unforgettable. Colleen: Thank you for reaching out to me as often as you did my freshman year asking me to write Pulp stories. As a retired assistant I understand the grind trying to get writers to pick up stories. I don’t know if I would’ve written as much spring of my freshman year if it weren’t for you. So for that I am forever grateful. Kelsey: I missed your energy and brilliance in Pulp this semester. Your beautiful A1’s and iconic macs have truly left a beautiful legacy in Pulp and I hope future Pulp editors strive for your quality of work. I know I have. Emma: Your skills as a writer and reporter are some of the best I’ve seen in my time here. So excited for you to run news next semester. Izzy: You were a great addition to Pulp this semester, were a quick learner and always listened to the advice I gave you. Keep writing, I can’t wait to see more of your work. Casey: I thought working three semesters was a lot, but wow you’ve done it all and aren’t done. And I’m glad for that. You’ve done an incredible job as news editor and I know your mark on The D.O. isn’t over. Thanks for always stopping by Pulp to keep Diana and me in check and making us laugh. Gabe: You and I had more in common than I originally thought, and I’m happy we were able to work in-house together. You’re such a hard worker and I’m excited to see what else you write. We’ve also sat through some classes together with interesting professors and classmates. I hope we have more together senior year. Mandy: Keep up the good work, you’re an incredible writer and staff member. The D.O. is lucky to have you for more semesters to come. It was a pleasure working in Pulp with you and I can’t wait to see all that you do as an assistant. Anna Genus: I wish we spent more time together, but I’m glad we got to work together. You’ve brought so much to video and killed it as both an assistant and head-ed. I can’t wait to hear all about living in L.A. Aro: It kills me to see you duck, but I know you’re going to do great things. Thanks for being a source of laughter and for listening to all my copy-related sports questions.
Kevin: You’re one of the most iconic people I’ve ever met. I didn’t think I’d meet anyone as gullible as me, but I think you have me beat. Aside from being a light inside the walls of 744, you’re brilliant. Your graphic design and coding skills will take you so far. Chris: I’m happy you decided to work inhouse and that we were able to work together. You were so much more than a copy editor to Pulp, and always brought something new. Whether it was a positive spirit or beautifully written story, we always knew we could count on you. I can’t wait to read your stories next semester, whatever section they end up in. Amy: Thank you for entertaining all of my questions about Hawaii and graphic design. You’ve killed every position you’ve had, and I wouldn’t want anyone else in charge of Pulp next semester. Can’t wait to see you keep the Power of Pulp alive. Brooke: While we never worked the same nights our first semester in house, when we first met I knew we’d become friends. I wish we could’ve been assistants together, but the two semesters we worked together were definitely memorable. Thanks for matching my energy at The D.O. and for always being down to chat, (or gossip). I’ll be free Sunday to Wednesday nights now, let’s hang out next year. Haley: You’re one of those people that The D.O. wouldn’t be the same without. You’re
such a hard worker and always do it with a smile on your face. You radiate positive energy and have brought so much to Pulp and The D.O. When I heard you were going to be EIC I was relieved because I knew The D.O. would be in good hands. Thanks for always being supportive of my work and every question I’ve had. KJ: I’m surprised I didn’t know you before we started working in-house because you’re hard to miss. With your bubbly personality, I knew we’d click as friends. I admire your work ethic and all that you’ve produced in our time at school. You can work across any section and it always turns out great. Thank you for being such a great friend and always giving me advice. I’ll miss you next semester, Maybe there will be cool events you can attend in NYC, like a formal or something? Promise we won’t just be Sunday to Wednesday friends next year. Dabbundo: To think that we’ve only worked together two semesters surprises me. It’s felt like much more. It’ll be weird not seeing you at The D.O., in Food.com or Maxwell every day next semester. I’m glad you always hung out in digital last semester, but thankful Diana didn’t let you distract us in Pulp. Your energy is unlike most I know and your fascination of the weather and the randomest things is unmatched. Still salty you’re BDJ, but I know your love
for The D.O. and writing are still as strong as ever. Allison: I’m so glad we got to work together this semester. While we were shocked me, you and Diana would be working in the same section, I’m glad we pulled it off. Power of Pulp. I love how similar our energy is and how we really get each other. Even though you’d sometimes say the randomist sh*t, you knew you’d get a laugh out of me. Thanks for making some of the longest and hardest nights feel quicker and easier. You have a pretty awesome track record of journalism experience and I know you’re going absolutely crush your next one. I hope to be in another newsroom with you someday. Diana: If someone told me last year that the Digital Copy Chief was going to become one of my closest friends, I’d say they were lying. It’s crazy how you went from someone I barely knew, to someone who I can count on for anything, whether it’s journalism related or not. There’s no one else I’d have wanted to be an assistant to. Sorry for always saying, “oh yeah that’s my friend Diana, she’s like my boss,” because you were my boss. But I guess it never felt like it because you’ve been such a good friend. I’ll miss laughing at late hours of the night when we should’ve been working. The D.O.: Thank you for everything. My time at this crazy ass school wouldn’t have been the same without you.

hen I walked into 744 Ostrom Avenue for the first time, I transcended into a different universe. The walls were decked out in relics of the past. The rooms smelled a little moldy. The people were hyper-focused, yet, a bit silly. I wasn’t sure what I had gotten myself into. Compared to the university campus, it was worlds apart. It was different. But different isn’t bad. I’m thankful for sticking around… The Daily Orange has truly shaped me into the person I am today. To all those who I crossed paths with at 744, thank you. Talia: You’re drive to learn and do more is one of the many reasons I think you’re an incredible designer. Print… digital… you do it all! I’m really going to miss our walks from design class to the D.O. Thanks for answering all of my gluten-related questions, there’s so much to know! Talia, I am so thankful to have you in my life and cannot wait to see where the design world takes you. Maeve: My first D.O. iSchool buddy turned out to be one of the greatest friends I could ever ask for. The times you’d text me and ask “Hey are you okay, do you need anything?” seemed so well-timed. I don’t know how you do it alongside the thousand other roles you hold. Keep on being a rockstar. Ghael: For the number of feuds we’ve had this semester, thank you. I like to think we added a bit of drama to the house. Perhaps we’d make great reality television. Just kidding. But for real, thanks for stepping up to the plate and putting your heart and soul into The D.O. Podcast. It made Monday’s fun. Eva: Where do I begin? Thank you for being one of the two digital design stars in the room. When Amy and I hired you we were so impressed with the level of work you were producing. Thanks for giving me some lessons on Long Island. I would like to visit someday. It seems like a cool place. Karleigh: One of the things I most admired about you was your willingness to speak up. It’s something I lacked a lot of the time when I was a digital design editor. Thank you for giving me dentist recommendations. It was a big help. Hah! Emma C: Receiving a phone call from you freshman year was honestly one of the happiest memories I have had at Syracuse. Your design-eye and ability to critique taught me so much. In addition to your sparkling personality, you deliver on your promises. You’re the person I will always and forever look up to. Thank you for hiring me. Lucy: I am so happy to see where you ended up. All your hard work and determination paid off. Thank you for sharing my love and admiration for Paddington bear. Have you watched Paddington 2 yet? Andy: I’m sorry for quitting on you. In retrospect, I’m not sure why I did. Nonetheless, I’m glad you showed me the ropes and led us as the promenade and Snapchat king. Casey D: When we have sat down and discussed everything going on at The D.O. we’ve had the best times. Let’s do that again next semester when you’re digital editor. It’ll be fun. Nat: You killed it. You absolutely killed it. Innovative ideas and a timeliness factor that made me question, does she sleep? I am so incredibly proud of the work you’ve produced this semester and am glad we were able to share our last day on assignment. Emma F: Staring at the blank page before you, open up the dirty window… Lydia: Thanks for being such a great role model. Two years ago, we were walking on the quad together talking about who knows what. It was fun. Haley: Watching Beauty and The Beast with you and Emma Folts opened up a whole part of your personality I have never seen. Sometimes The D.O. does that. It blinds you from the personalities behind the title. I’m glad to know my editor-in-chief has a hidden talent: Broadway star. Leffert: Thank you for putting up with my ways. Mike Escalante: You are someone I look up
to. The things we were able to create this semester wouldn’t be possible without you. As I was cleaning up the IT closet for the last time, I found many Escalante relics of the past. It’s insane how much of an impact you’ve made on our publication. It is much appreciated. Diana: Every time I hear Calabria 2008, I will think of you. How did this become a thing again? No lo puedo creer. ¿Pero sabes que? Me encanta la pulpa. Allison: You give me the confidence to be myself. Every time I acted a bit unorthodox you remind me to own it. I appreciate that. The food.com dance will live on somehow. 10 years down the line, it will be the next big thing at 230 Euclid. Sarah S: Your drive to get the Walt the Crane story was an epic sight. I was so happy once it was published as I learned so much and could feel the work you put into it. Corey: When I walk into the visuals room not only do you have the best music playing in the house, but you pair it with your amazing personality. Seriously, if I ever need a kick in my step I’ll head over to visuals. Keep on being an incredible photographer and person to be around. Elizabeth: You and Corey make an amazing duo. Keep on doing what you’re doing, you never fail to wow me. I hope to see you as photo editor someday. KJ: You are the hype-man I will always ask for. Thank you for working with digital to create two epic splash pages. Your drive and willingness to go above and beyond is inspirational. I know you’re going places. Aro: You pitched some pretty interesting things this semester during digital meetings.
Some made me do a double-take, others made me howl in excitement. The fact that you take risks is an incredible skill. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Sessa: Your vocabulary is a breath of fresh air. I can’t tell you how many times I stayed up just to see how edit board turned out. Brittany: I loved the time we Facetimed when you were at Whole Foods. That’s on-brand for you. Thank you for always giving fun gossip. Gabe: Can’t believe we covered election night together. It was my first on-site assignment for the D.O. and having you there as a guiding light was awesome. Have a great time abroad! Gillian: Your ability to do so much is incredible. Glad we met in NEW205. Ryley: Learning about your hobbies and secret talent was insane. I’m glad we got you a better chair in digital. Having you there made the team even better. Mohammed: You’re so calm and collected. I hope to see you create your own IT team and bring the D.O. to the forefront of tech. Sarah A: Working on Football Guide with you was insane. Those illustrations were spicy. Mike Dooling: Over the past semester I was able to interact with you a lot more. You care for our organization and it shows. Thank you, Mike. Katie G: When I heard that you were joining us, I was ecstatic. So glad we were able to bond over tacos at Reneé’s house. Emily: Thank you for always being a ray of sunshine. I seriously feel like I’ve never seen you down. Nabeeha: I’m going to miss screaming your name with KJ. It was always so much fun.
Katie M: The iSchool needs more people like you. Mackenzie: We joined the D.O. as in-house staffers at about the same time. I remember walking home with you and talking about how unsure we were about the people we work with. It turns out we were just fine. Anna G: You need more than just pepperoncini for a meal, Anna. That moment was hilarious. I’m so glad we got to share it. Rock it in LA. Anna H: My original partner in crime. Even though we worked separate days, just knowing that you were around was awesome. Getting a call from you this semester was such a highlight. I can’t wait to see you again next semester. Rori: You are one of my biggest supporters. Every time you remind me of #Where’sFlorida I cry of laughter. Thank you for being there. Amy: I didn’t know how this semester would go. My biggest fear was us not working out as we jumped into seeing each other every single day. Little did I know how great we’d work as a team. I really do feel like we brought out the best in each other. From a trip to Rochester and getting lost at the Waterloo outlets, to making dances together and saying each other’s names in weird ways… I don’t know how I could’ve done it alone. I’m so glad we became a dynamic duo and cannot wait to see you shine, wherever you go. Although we might not share another 4:00 a.m. trying to finish an online guide or publish a podcast, the memories will always be there. Amy Nakamura, thank you. A huge thank you to my family for supporting me every single day. Goodbye 744.

O
h, the D.O., what a short, crazy trip it has been. I may have only worked in-house for two semesters, but The Daily Orange has taught me so much and has provided me with so many opportunities I did not think were possible. When I first joined, I was only looking to gain more experience working behind the camera and finally—finally learn how to use Premiere. I did not think that The Daily Orange would later have such a monumental impact on me. I did not think that I would be in the place where I am now, teaching others all my video tips and tricks and preparing to move on to big things in Los Angeles. Well, The D.O., I thank you for that. Tucked behind that little red door is a place filled with hard work, long hours, and tight deadlines, but there is also friendship, laughter, and memories that I will cherish for all the days to come. Allison: All I have to say is thank goodness crafting is our hobby and not our profession. Neither of us would be so over-the-moon excited about where our lives are taking us now if we spent any more time on our clearance section art projects. I am so very proud of you, and everything that you have accomplished in just the last year alone. How can someone be so successful by the age of 20? Like, come on. Meredith: Thank you for being you. You are the mom of our apartment, and you always seem to have it together. You are going to go so far in life that I have no doubts you will be able to get your two-car garage and house in
Hawaii. And, well, there yeah have it: Paradise. Amy and Kevin: Wow, just wow. You have made such an amazing team, and I do not even care if you are both good cop. It worked out so well. I am so glad that we got to be the last little group to close the door in digital because we always had some great tea to spill. Either that or we just needed some time to laugh to ourselves about pronunciation videos. If one

of you finds out where Bridger is, let me know. Ghael: You are literally the classiest person I know who also gives—hands down—the best advice. You were such a great addition to the digital team, and you, me, and Allison need to just go get coffee and talk about life. Casey T.: You are so incredibly talented and are going to do such big things. I am so proud of you and all the work you have done this
semester. I truly could not be happier that you are grabbing the reins and taking over as Video Editor. I cannot wait to see what you will do. Sessa: Do not worry. I will not be there for April Fools this year. Peace out, Sessa, and try to save that Chia pet from the Op porch. Dabbundo and KJ: I will meet you guys at King of Prussia. I promise I will not get lost this time. Catch ya later. Mackenzie: Thank you so much for being such a great video editor and friend during my time in-house. You are really one of the nicest people ever, and I will never understand how you are involved in so many clubs and activities. I truly think you are going to conquer the world someday. Rori: I cannot even begin to tell you how happy I am that you filmed your documentary in The D.O. house this semester. We all missed you so much, and you always make people smile when you walk in the room. Thank you for helping me out so much during my time at the house, and I cannot wait to see your final project. Diana: I am sorry I ruined your video of the sky. It will not happen again. Oh, and also, no, all those phone cases are not $9.99. Never change, Diana, never change. All of Digital in general: The best room in the house. Not even a sliver of doubt in my mind. You guys are what really made my experience at The D.O. so special. Goodbye, I love all of you. 744: rip. I may not have had the chance to write my name on one of your walls, but I did write it on some table in the basement. You will be missed.

uring my freshman year, Syracuse didn’t feel right, and I was set on transferring. The one thing that gave me hope that everything would pan out was The Daily Orange. Five semesters later, I’m still here. This is a bittersweet goodbye. Emerman: Read this in Jason Mendoza’s voice. There was a time when I thought you were just some know-it-all. My final day of freshman year, you invited me to dinner with just you and your dad and I started to change my mind. Since, it’s been beers in Narragansett, binge-watching the Good Place, prank wars and everything in between. Not only have you become a great writer and editor, but you’ve become a lifelong friend. Coming home every production night and having late night talks with you meant the world. I knew I would take some slack hiring you last semester. But you proved to everyone you’re ready for this. Dabbundo: After one of the first sports meetings freshman year, I wanted to hang with you, but I left right away. Halfway down Ostrom, I heard a loud stomping sound. It was you chasing me down the block, trying to talk to me. We’re like an angry old couple that constantly beefs and bickers, but when sh*t hits the fan, I always turn to you first. I don’t think anyone gets me like you do. You know when I’m going through something, you praise me when I deserve it and you call me out when I need it. There’s so many memories. Captain Tweabundo. Map God. Sweats. Walking with you after COM 107, then you being banished from my freshman room. I’m not someone who’s always had close friends. I didn’t have many in high school, and I had definitely never had a best friend. Until you. Thank you for the honesty, thank you for the roasts, thank you for the gossip. Brothers for life. Aro: Nobody laughs like you do. Your energy fills every room you’re in. The strides you’ve made since coming in-house are tremendous. Whatever you do, pool or journalism or anything in between, I know you’re gonna find your way. Crane: There’s times when I get 3 a.m. texts from you about nonsense and I’m like ‘Who the hell is this kid?’ I’m so happy how much you care about this paper. My favorite version of you is when you’re not thinking about reporting. You’re holding a Keystone and we’re talking about our lives. Hillman: You once told me you felt like nobody believed you could write a good story. You produced some of the best work this semester and you’re one funny dude. Keep Dabbundo in check in London. Josh: Oh sh*t, the tables have turned. You’re like the older brother I never wanted who stuck me in a corner. You’re my go-to for advice. You brought me in-house when nobody, me included, thought I should. And you took me under your wing when I had no clue what I was doing. Doesn’t mean I don’t hate you most times. But it’s been worth it. McCleary: When I try to think back to the happiest parts of college, it’s us goofing around on a production night and pissing everyone off in the upstairs hallway. I have so much fun when I’m around you. And when it turns serious, I learn so much just listening to you. You’re a great friend and I’m gonna miss you a lot. Nick: I’m sorry a snap-judgment didn’t start our friendship earlier. You getting information from a tow truck driver getting gas is an all-time baller move. Working on the Jorge Jimenez story was my favorite reporting experience. It was because I was with you. Kaci: We couldn’t be more different and somehow we clicked while in-house together. Yes, we both have combative personalities, but I respect you so much. Fortier: Thanks for convincing me The D.O was worth all my time. Proud to call you my first Sports Editor. Graham: It’s been three semesters of editing your stories and you still don’t know the difference between its and it’s. HOW? Anna Henderson: You are one of the nicest people I’ve met out of the DO. I’m happy you’ve
always stuck around. Anna Genus: Getting tea with you and ranting about my life for hours was so needed. You’re super funny and never fail to tell the craziest stories. Mackenzie: I miss you! You were so fun to work with, and DigitalvsDungey made my life so much fun. Wine night? 865 Livingston: I love all of your energy so much. Lydia, you’re one of the smartest people I know. Ali, one of the loudest. Sandhya, by far the sweetest. And Rori, the most honest. Aishwarya: You’re so insightful and it was a pleasure working with you. Nobody smiles harder than you do. Kennedy: Thank you for being the first to believe I wasn’t just a sports writer. I carry your words of wisdom with me a lot. Emma: You’ve written some stories this semester that I’ve been wow’d by. I hope your drive to tell important stories always follows you. Haley & Leffert: Thank you for always taking me seriously, even when I was completely out of pocket. Will miss you both, but not baby budget. That sh*t is wack. Eva: I tried to sneak down to digital as much as I could to talk to you. I’m happy I did. Susie: When you left in the spring, I was devastated. Keep coming around, we will dominate pong again. Nabeeha: Watching you evolve from a shy freshman to the person I pick on the most was hilarious to watch. You’re talented, funny and really good at making me feel bad about myself.
Corey: You inviting me to your home in Illinois was one of the best weekends of my life. Nobody grinds harder than Corey Henry. Molly: I used to think you thought I was super funny. Then I realized you laugh at everything. My story on Maddy Hertweck was only good because of your photos. Cicciello: I’ll admit I didn’t always have to do work in Bird. I really just wanted to get to know you. You’re a passionate writer with such a great mind. Becoming good friends with you this semester is something I cherish a lot. Diana: The only other person in the D.O. with a voice louder than mine. Everyone loves you for a reason. Sessa: Chest bump soon? Talia: Honestly, I was so scared to work with you. SE and PD relationships have always been rocky. But I was dead wrong. I can’t believe how much you’ve grown to value my opinion. You’re really a great human. Casey: Screaming at you in the news office coincided with drive homes to South and latenight fast food trips. I wish we became friends earlier. You teach me something new every time we talk. Sam OG: I hope you know how much I respect you. Watching you grind is inspiring, except when you’re writing a NEW 405 story. Straight up. Slavin: You tell the funniest stories and you’re one of the most loyal people I know. Getting close with you has been a pleasure. I’m ending this with a “Hey b*tch” joke. That’s super overplayed, but I had to. Maeve: You’re like the backbone of my life.
I’m sorry not everyone takes you seriously and appreciates how talented you are. Every deep conversation, random meal, drive through snow storms, they mean so much to me. Thank you for always being there. Eric Black: It was weird not having you around the house. I missed our Jim and Pam-esque glances whenever something wild was going down. I can always count on you for a spontaneous music review, random chill session or a long phone call. You’re one helluva guy. I’m going to miss you next semester the most. Schneidman: Thursday nights in your South Campus apartment will live in infamy. At first, I copied where you lived sophomore year. Then, we stole each other’s internships. And you even followed me onto the DeWitt town board beat! I’m happy we’re attached to the hip, though. You’re so dog. Gabe: Professor Boll randomly paired us up the first week of sophomore year and I was surprised we never crossed paths before. You became one of my best friends quickly. I’m never angry with you, even when you’re extremely oblivious to everything. I hate how you always kick my ass in 2K, though. After work, nights at Chilis screaming on the top of our lungs made everything better. I’m so happy how close we are and how I can tell you anything. Love you to death dude. Dylan & Mom: Thank you for always reading. I write for you guys. 214 Clarendon: My boys! You kept me sane during the week and made some great memories.

for Boeheim. SU had already self-imposed a postseason ban for that year and the NCAA – unlike with other schools’ violations – didn’t hit Syracuse with any other postseason bans. Still, the fallout was swift. We covered every aspect of the report, including an index of every violation for readers to understand. Less than two weeks after the report’s release, Chancellor Kent Syverud announced that Daryl Gross was out as athletic director and Boeheim would be retiring with Mike Hopkins as the head coach in waiting. As we all know, that didn’t happen. Boeheim and his more than 1,000* wins are still in charge at SU while Hopkins leads a rising Washington program. -Justin Mattingly

decade While the Big East was dealt a major blow, Syracuse would benefit from increased exposure and larger revenue streams in the ACC. With Syracuse, the ACC — aside from gaining its first school with on-campus beer sales at home games — was able to expand its geographic footprint and boost its leverage in future TV negotiations.
ACC revenue jumped 11% in the 2018 fiscal year, with each member school reportedly getting, on average, a distribution of $29.5 million. While that distribution ranked near the bottom among Power 5 conferences, the launch of ACC Network this past August could change that. -Jon Harris
2013: Syracuse men’s basketball makes Final Four run
Syracuse’s run to the Final Four in 2013 really came out of nowhere. The Orange badly struggled toward the end of the regular season, losing four of its final five games. That included two losses to Georgetown, one being an embarrassing blowout in Washington. Syracuse was limping into the postseason, and there were swirling questions about Jim Boeheim’s future. Those questions peaked when, after a blowout loss to the Hoyas, Boeheim said he was ready to go play golf somewhere. Joking or not, it fueled speculation. No one really expected much from Syracuse in the postseason. We all know what happened next. A run through the last “real” Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden, including an overtime win over Georgetown in the semifinals before a loss to Louisville in the final. Then the Orange’s 2-3 zone befuddled team after team in the NCAA Tournament, as Syracuse bounced Montana, Cal, Indiana and Marquette before its run ended with a loss to Michigan in the Final Four. It was the program’s first appearance in the Final Four since a lanky-limbed, headbandwearing freshman named Carmelo Anthony guided the program to its only national championship in 2003. The surprising run marked Boeheim’s fourth Final Four in four different decades, a lofty accomplishment that ended a lot of questions about how long he could continue to coach. -Chris Iseman, Michael Cohen
2015: NCAA finds Jim Boeheim failed to promote compliance with rules, imposes sanctions
The news came down on the Friday before spring break. Editors were on planes and beat writers were on their way to Saturday’s regularly scheduled men’s basketball game. Still, the biggest news of our time at The Daily Orange needed to be covered. The NCAA released a 94-page report on March 6, 2015 detailing wrongdoing by Syracuse and men’s basketball coach Jim Boeheim, punishing the university with a five-year probation, scholarship reductions, vacation of wins and a nine-game suspension
2011 Bernie Fine fired
2011 SU joins ACC graphics by katie getman design editor
Dino Babers is considered an up-and-coming coach around the college football world, someone whose best years are still to come. But what many people don’t realize is that Babers spent 27 years as an assistant coach. Before becoming Eastern Illinois’ head coach in 2012, he’d practically given up on ever getting a head coaching opportunity. His hire at Syracuse in December of 2015 wasn’t his first head coaching job. But it was, in many ways, a validation of all the years he’d put in as an assistant coach. His first job as a head coach in a Power-5 conference. He notably opened up his introductory press conference by asking everyone in the room to close their eyes. He waited and was insistent that even media do the same. Then he told everyone to imagine the Carrier Dome filled and SU football playing as fast as any program in the nation. Syracuse hadn’t fielded a team with more than eight wins in 14 seasons prior to Babers. It had won seven total games the previous two seasons. But Babers exuded confidence anyway. -Sam Blum
2015: Field hockey team national championship
wins
This field hockey victory was the first women’s national championship in school history, and it in some ways now represents a bygone era in Syracuse athletics. Then-Director of Athletics Daryl Gross invested heavily in non-revenue sports, which particularly helped the field hockey program because coach Ange Bradley recruited extensively in Europe. Three of the team’s best players came from abroad — Emma Russell (Ireland), Alma Fenne and Lies Lagerweij (both from Netherlands) — combining with a homegrown talent in goalkeeper Jess Jecko, from an hour east of Syracuse, to propel the Orange that season. They won the championship on a freezing day in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and I still remember the team lifting Bradley up to celebrate. She lifeguarded and delivered newspapers as a kid to pay for field hockey camps. She scrapped from Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania, to Delaware, where she did what her parents hadn’t and attended college. She became a Hall of Fame field-hockey player for the Blue Hens, though a championship still eluded her. I still remember, up in the air, how hard Bradley cried. Now, she and associate head coach Allan Law are what’s left of that title run. The three stars graduated. Jecko still plays but for Team USA, and Gross is gone, his exit set in motion by the NCAA report in March 2015. This story, as it is with many championships, is one of a fleeting moment when everything came together for so many in one place at one time. -Sam Fortier
2013 Syracuse makes Final Four
2016: Men and women’s basketball teams reach Final Four
Those two simultaneous March Madness runs were really pretty magical for the Orange. With the men as a No. 10 seed and women as a No. 4 seed that had never previously reached the Sweet 16, neither group was expected to do much. In Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the SU women upset No. 1 seed South Carolina in the Sweet 16 and handled No. 7-seeded Tennessee and Washington in the next two rounds before eventually losing to No. 1 seed Connecticut in the national championship. The core of Alexis Peterson, Brittney Sykes, Brianna Butler, Cornelia Fondren and Briana Day entered the program as heralded recruits and left as immortal stars.
core 5
Alexis Peterson Brittney Skyes Brianna Butler Cornelia Fondren Briana Day
The men’s Elite Eight game occurred mere hours after the women’s game and featured a comeback for the ages against Virginia. Malachi Richardson cemented himself as an alltime great in his lone season for SU. Michael Gbinije thrived in his new point guard role and Tyler Lydon became valuable even when he wasn’t scoring. After struggling through Jim Boeheim’s nine-game suspension and losing the first four games of conference play, a Final Four run seemed as unlikely as could be. But after just barely making the tournament, the Orange played their best against the best. -Paul Schwedelson
2017: Assistant coach Mike Hopkins departs for head coaching position at Washington
Mike Hopkins dreamed of becoming Syracuse men’s basketball’s head coach. He spent 28 years at Syracuse as a player and coach, his last two decades there groomed by Jim Boeheim to be the Hall of Famer’s successor. The university announced in 2015 that, after Boeheim retired in 2017-18, Hopkins would take over. Though Boeheim’s ouster was a surprise, the choice of Hopkins wasn’t. Everyone both inside and outside the program thought he was a perfect fit because players, coaches and fans respected him. Then, suddenly, on a March afternoon in 2017, the news broke that he took the Washington job. His abrupt departure sent shockwaves through the Syracuse community. The next chapter of one of the most iconic college basketball programs was clouded in uncertainty (SU shortly thereafter announced an extension for Boeheim.) We needed answers, so Matt flew to Seattle and sat down with Hopkins after his introductory press conference at Washington. Sam supplemented that reporting in Syracuse by digging deep into Hopkins’ background. We interviewed his high school coach, his friends, the best man at his wedding. We talked to former Syracuse players, the Washington AD, friends and mentors outside of basketball and many more. Our ‘Power Move’ story offers insight beyond the reactions and answers the big question of why Hopkins left the only school he ever knew. -Matt Schneidman, Sam Fortier

chances going in. An old email from that week, which predicted a 31-20 Clemson win, advised, “It will occasionally get ugly. Feel free to look away when it does.”
27-24 Final score of Syracuse vs. Clemson in 2017
It sounds foolish now, but plenty agreed. During the postgame press conference, quarterback Eric Dungey asked for a show of hands from anyone who thought SU would win. There were no hands. The room fell silent. The Carrier Dome, though, had never been louder during my four years at SU. The Orange never trailed, so there was no reason for the roughly 42,000 fans to leave early. The usually bare silver bleachers were covered, as Dino Babers said, by a “sea of Orange” which later flooded the field to celebrate. One fan infamously broke his leg jumping over the wall. Others appeared in my game story because fellow beat writer Tomer Langer stopped me from rushing downstairs for interviews and advised me to scan the mob in search of moments that captured the shock and joy of it all. That Friday night might come to define the Babers era as a building block to something bigger. It might have been a one-off in a decade of mediocrity. But the feelings and memories it produced for a lot of people were anything but fleeting. -Joe Bloss
2018: Jim Boeheim hits, kills man in I-690 car crash
The morning of Feb. 21, I was awoken by repeated bangs on my bedroom door. My roommate, then-assistant sports editor Nick Alvarez, yelled for my attention. Late the night before, the then-43 year men’s basketball head coach Jim Boeheim struck and killed Jorge Jimenez on I-690. The crash occurred at 11:20 p.m. Wednesday, less than two hours after Boeheim exited the Carrier Dome following the Orange’s upset win over Louisville. A family lost a loved one. Boeheim, “heartbroken,” put his coaching duties on hold for a day. In a sensitive time, The D.O. sent reporters up and down Erie Boulevard, to the site of the crash and the Jimenez’ neighborhood. We made difficult calls, worked sleepless hours and kept chasing the story until there was nothing left to chase. Nick and KJ Edelman did a lot of the field work: They hopped in a car and drove around Jimenez’ neighborhood searching for people who knew him. Then-photo editor Molly Gibbs, then-news editor Kennedy Rose and then-assistant news editor Casey Darnell chipped in on the coverage any way they could. Following the incident, it was announced that Boeheim would coach less than 72 hours after the incident. He walked out to the Carrier Dome to a standing ovation while his team lost to No. 1 Duke that night, 75-65. Then, he spoke to the media. “It doesn’t matter how I feel,” Boeheim said. “It’s how (the Jimenez family) feels, and what’s happened to them, and there’s just nothing I can say about it.” At The D.O., we needed so many writers to have all-hands-on deck so we didn’t miss anything. There were many people who had to (and still have to) face the fallout of the crash. And The D.O. didn’t rest until we covered it all. -Michael McCleary sports@dailyorange.com | @DOSports

S
pring of my freshman year, I thought I wanted to quit writing for The Daily Orange. It’s fall of my junior year now, and working at The D.O. has been my favorite two semesters in college. Here’s a thank you to the people who made it so. Schneid: My first beat partner. Remember when Leonid Yelin started asking us questions at a press conference? That was wild. Thanks for those Colgate trips and being a great friend. FIFA soon? Kaci: I’m as inspired by you as anyone at the paper in my time here. You walked into the D.O. sports section as the only woman at the time, and you never let anyone stop you. I’ll always have your back, even when you pitch a bad mac. Graham: Thanks for always having the takes ready and always being ready for any debate. I always enjoyed them and learned something. RIP Monday Morning emails. Nick: There’s no one I looked forward to reading stories with more than you. Your editing and storytelling are top notch. We clicked more than I thought we would in-house together. Thanks for being the voice of reason for my takes. Phins up. McCleary: I thought you really disliked me freshman year. You probably should have. But after that conversation on the porch at 741, and that call when you hired me, I realized I was wrong. Thanks for taking a chance on me, boss. Your humor in the house made work fun, and your drive made the section better. Schafer: I was more afraid of you than anyone at this place, but you already knew that. Some of my biggest learning moments at the D.O. came through conversations with you. Your advice means a lot to me. Thanks for being hard on me. Third wheel sometime? Fortier: People always say they were intimidated by you. I never really saw it that way. Thank you for giving me my first story, my first beat and being my first D.O. mentor. Thank
you for convincing me not to quit the paper completely in that hour-long car ride. Thanks for answering my LND texts. Guti: There’s no one I’d rather be with at the Glens Falls Diner at 9 p.m. on a Sunday night. Liberman: I’ve tried to emulate you in many ways here. You’re talented as hell. Yeah, you probably should have made that bet. I’ve missed your presence this year on campus. Thanks for always having my back. Charlie: It shouldn’t be a surprise that two loud Italians got along as well as we do. Thanks for always being one of my go-to guys for sports talk, especially in the dog days of summer. Billy: Few people cared as much about this place or worked as hard as you did. That Wake Forest trip was an incredible experience for me, even if it was just another road trip for you. Aro: My pool loving friend. Few people embrace their individuality like you did your two semesters. I’d go as far as to say I was your biggest fan at the newspaper. I’ve almost never seen you in a bad mood. Crane: I make fun of you a lot, but always know it’s because I care about you. I’ll miss your texts in the morning asking about things we messed up. It shows how much you care. I’m excited to see you grow as a writer and run this section one day. Hillman: You can learn a lot about someone covering softball doubleheaders in the cold. Sorry for annoying you in house with my bad jokes. Not really. London, here we come. Emerman: Forever proud we made #overheard-in-house our own personal channel. Our humor and creativity really connected well this semester, and the dedication you’ve shown has impressed me. It’s your section now. That is shocking. Mackenzie: Sadler 7 FOREVER. I wasn’t lying when I called you one of the most impressive people I’ve met here. You’re so involved yet so good at everything you do. Glad you took a chance on news.
Maeve: My realest fake friend ever. We had a rocky start, but you always answered my latenight texts. I learned quickly that you’re one of the most loyal people I know. Molly: You have a smile and a laugh that lights up every room you’re in. Thank you for understanding why smiling and laughing matters so much to me. Susie: Wish we had gotten closer when you worked in-house. Glad we did after you left. We’re a lot more similar than I ever could have imagined. Anna H: You were always mean to me, but I could tell your jokes came from love. Thanks for letting me hang in digital. Sorry about the tight pants. Anna G: I am toasted. Hope you are too. Thanks for always spilling tea, even if I never got that invite. Sarah Slavin: Whoa, were you a PAF TA? Thanks for letting me relive my TA days last
spring. Thanks for always being honest and being someone I can chat with about anything. Everyone else I missed because word counts: Even a bad night at the D.O. is better than a good night almost anywhere else. Despite my annoying quirks and bad jokes, I tried to get to know all of you and be an uplifting presence in the house. Thank you for everything. KJ: My best friend at the D.O. Thank you for always pushing me to be better. You’ve always understood me more than anyone here. We push back on each other a lot, we fight sometimes, but in the end it’s because I care a lot about you. This story could start at our first Sunday meeting freshman year. Or my 1 a.m. phone call inviting you to Baltimore. Or our first tennis coverage together. Or in Chatham in Cindy’s basement. I’m just glad the story hasn’t ended yet. Let’s keep writing it together.

ell this came a lot sooner than expected, eh? I didn’t think I’d get into house when I did, and I guess it is sort of fitting that I’m leaving a lot sooner than I thought too. But this ain’t about me. This is for y’all. Hillman: This is a lot harder than I thought it would be. It’s hard to put our friendship into just a little paragraph. But I opened up to you a lot this semester, a lot more than I normally do, and you listened man. You cared. And that meant a lot. So thanks bro, even though you give me way more sh*t than I deserve. Crane: It always feels like I’m chasing you, but that’s the way I want it to be. Everything you do, I want to do, and I hope that I’ve been able to push you and help you the same way you’ve done for me. I never fully understood how you grind so much, but what I know is that you’re gonna do big things even if you might not believe it just yet. I just hope I can keep the inspirational quotes coming for you. Can’t wait to hear more of your country music on our roadtrips next semester, bud. Danny: As much as I love Dabbundo, you were definitely the funniest in sports, Emerman. Never gonna forget our Buffalo trip and the car ride with Crane’s mom to the stadium. You told me once that you don’t think you work that hard. But the old saying, “The devil works hard, but Emerman works harder” holds true, bud. I know you’re gonna find the recipe to cook up a great next semester as the SE! Dabbundo: I don’t think London (or Hillman) is ready for how shocking you’re gonna be next semester. But I’m gonna miss having you and that constant, sometimes to a fault, smile around. As much of a cliché as it is, it always made me smile too. Also, thanks for introducing me to the wide world of Wegmans and organizing my bets so you can always see them. KJ: Dave. You took me through my first cover-
age but the only thing I really remember from it is Dave. We both liked him, and I thought you were a pretty cool guy. I never thought back then that you’d be my sports editor one day – I just couldn’t think that far ahead. But it seems like time went so quickly and there you were, telling me you had hired me. I’m sure I’ve frustrated the hell out of you this semester. And honestly, you did to me sometimes too. But at the end of the day, you were the guy I looked up to when I first came into The DO. And you still are. Roshan: It’s on to you now, bud. No, not the big chair (although who knows, you might get that someday too), but you’re the Indian in sports. And luckily, there’s two of y’all! Yeah it’s unlikely any of us will get a water fountain
named after us but tell you what: You keep your self-confidence high, and I’ll keep mine high too. Haley: Like Dabbundo, it always seemed like you had a smile on your face and it made being in-house this past semester so much better. No matter what my question was, no matter how stupid or serious, you always gave me an answer. So I forgive you for not getting me milk and sugar. Just really bummed about it. Nat: Digital buddy! Couldn’t go through this duck without you in it. You made digital a lot more fun and laughed at my terrible jokes so thank you. Never gonna play Flappy Crow without thinking of you. And I promise you, I will get your pronouns right one day! Kev: I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone quite
as passionate about something as you are about T-Mobile. I knew I would always learn something when I went down to digital if you were there, and I also knew I was guaranteed a laugh. You did so much work, and I knew you must have been so stressed sometimes, but you were always there to talk. To answer any question I had. To take time out of your day to do that extra task for me or the sports section. So thank you for being there. Amy: Yes, I know some of my mini-MAC’s were terrible. But I hope that you at least got a laugh from a few of them. You took my wacky ideas and made them work. And even when management wasn’t always sold on the ideas, you fought for me, which I really appreciate. Rest of digital: There’s a reason I was down there so much this semester. As much as I love sports, digital is where the fun’s at. And yes Ryley, you’re a part of that too. Least I could do after how much I annoyed you this semester. Keep spilling tea, y’all. Gabe: Don’t tell Hillman, but I came when he invited me to y’all’s parties for you, not him. You also empowered my sweaty hands, and I owe you forever for that. Everyone else: There’s tons more people that got me to this point. Josh for doing my first read. Aishwarya for being honest with me about being Indian and in house. Nick for showing me this. My seventh grade teacher for driving me to school. Billman for teaching me how to properly salute. The list is endless. Without all those people, I would probably be working for Citrus right now. So thanks! Ma and Baba: I don’t need to say much here because y’all already know exactly how much y’all helped me over the summer and through this semester and of course, throughout my entire life. Both of you always believed I could be whatever I wanted to be and supported it. And that’s meant everything.

n the last 10 years, SU hired its first black football head coach, made three combined Final Fours between the men’s and women’s basketball teams and won the school’s first-ever national championship by a women’s team. There have been highs — upsetting No. 2 Clemson in the Carrier Dome — and lows, like Boeheim’s 101 vacated wins due to NCAA-imposed sanctions. As the decade comes to an end, relive Syracuse athletics’ 10 most impactful stories, written by the writers who covered them in the moment, in chronological order.
2011: Associate head coach Bernie Fine fired amid sexual abuse allegations
This was certainly the most enthralling storyline during my years at The Daily Orange. There were often times when sports bled into news and garnered the attention of the public at-large, like Syracuse’s decision to leave the Big East for the ACC, but nothing quite compared to the Bernie Fine saga — especially on the heels of everything happening at Penn State. Our staff of writers and editors worked tirelessly to explore every angle of the story during what was supposed to

be our Thanksgiving break. For some, this represented a first experience with cold calls and knocking on doors in homage to the grassroots of journalism. For others, this was a chance to lead the younger staff members through arguably the strongest learning experience of their careers. In the subsequent weeks, The Daily Orange broke several stories related to Fine as our reporting was thrust into national relevancy. There were television appearances on CNN and HLN, a trip to Maine to visit accuser Zach Tomaselli and a meeting with the county’s district attorney for an exclusive story in which The Daily Orange heard audio of police interviews previously withheld see decade page 17
from reporters. Those were the moments that reinforced our journalistic prowess during the days we’ll never forget. -Michael Cohen
2011: Syracuse joins the Atlantic Coast Conference
In September of 2011, the Orange saw a whole lot of green and announced the university was leaving its longtime home in the Big East for the more stable ACC. The move — with Pittsburgh making the same jump — was part of a major realignment in college sports, as schools sought conferences with lucrative TV deals capable of bolstering finances for years to come. The ACC had that. In 2010, the conference signed a 12-year deal with ESPN worth $1.86 billion, an agreement that was later extended in length and value with the addition of SU and Pitt. Meanwhile, the Big East’s TV deal with ESPN was worth $216 million over six years. Negotiations ensued as that deal neared expiration, but the Big East in 2011 rejected a nine-year, $1.4 billion deal with ESPN. Many believe that agreement could’ve been the glue that kept the Big East together.
