Life in brief ATHLETICS defensive coordinator leaves for Colorado The day after Defensive Coordinator Joe Tumpkin resigned on National Signing Day, the University of Colorado announced he would become one of their defensive backs coaches.

Tumpkin had been Central Michigan University’s defensive coordinator since 2010, which was also former Head Coach Dan Enos’ first season. Enos resigned from CMU on Jan. 22.

Tumpkin coached former safety Jahleel Addae, who now plays for the San Diego Chargers. He also coached two firstteam All-Mid American Conference Joe Tumpkin players this year in linebacker Justin Cherocci and defensive lineman and potential NFL draft selection Leterrius Walton.

Tumpkin has been coaching football since 1994 on college and pro teams including Northern Michigan University, Western Michigan University, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the University of Pittsburgh.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced Thursday that CMU’s offensive line coach Butch Barry will become their assistant offensive line coach.

Barry was CMU’s tight ends coach from 2010-2013 and was the offensive line coach in 2014. Barry graduated from CMU in 2001 with a degree in Construction Management and was a graduate assistant with the football team from 2002-2003. He has coached four different teams, all with Universities.

As an offensive lineman for the Chippewas, Barry was named to the All-MAC team in 2000 and earned three varsity letters.

FEWER than 200 tickets remain for Saturday’s men’s basketball game against Wmu Tickets for Saturday’s 2 p.m. matchup between CMU and WMU men’s basketball are nearly sold out.

As of Thursday, fewer than 200 reserved tickets remained.

According to CMU Athletics, the remaining general admission seats are being reserved for students and those with “When the Chips win, you win” vouchers.

CMU offered free tickets to Saturday’s game during the “When the chips win, you win,” campaign.

University Communications photographer documents CMU and community

By Kate Carlson Staff Reporter

With each click of the shutter, Steve Jessmore is capturing the history of the university he graduated from, where his is recognized in the Journalism Hall of Fame, and where he is helping teach the next generation of photographers.

“It’s not just a job. I’m not just a photographer. It’s not just a trivial sort of thing, it’s something that really can make a difference,” Jessmore said, describing how his career came full circle after returning to Central Michigan University in 2013.

If you have attended any event on campus, you could have been photographed by the photographer admired by photojournalists throughout the world. Jessmore has worked for the Saginaw News, Flint Journal and the Sun News in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Over the course of his career, he has earned numerous state and national photojournalism awards including the Robert F. Kennedy photojournalism award for outstanding coverage of the disadvantaged.

He also is a five-time Michigan Press Photographer Association photographer of the year.

With all of these awards, the most prominently displayed work hanging in Jessmore’s office is his “Sense of Community” photo column he created for the Flint Journal that was published from 2004 to 2008.

The photo column won national and international awards, but he is most proud of this photojournalism because it connected the lives of Flint-area residents who gave back to the community with readers of the newspaper.

Recalling his first day on the job at University Communications, Jessmore explained how he received a phone call from one of his former coworkers who now works at the Detroit News, who said by working in public relations he “had gone to the dark side.” w Jessmore | 2a

Interviews for candidates who have applied to be the next Dean of the College of Communications and Fine Arts will be conducted over the next few weeks.

Dale-Elizabeth Phersson, dean of the College of Education and Human Services said search committee made up of representatives from various CCFA departments and is “hoping to have the search wrapped up in the spring.”

“We’ve vetted and reviewed all the applicants and met as a search committee several times,” said Phersson, who chairs the search committee.

“We have come up with a list of individuals we are going to Skype interview and those interviews will take place in the next week. Once they are completed, we will meet and choose who will bring to campus within the next three weeks.”

There have been about 40 applicants from all over the world. Phersson said eight were chosen for the Skype session, with two alternates. w CCFA DEAN | 2A

Internship deal made with Weber Shandwick

By Paige Sheffield Staff Reporter

Public relations students will be able to intern for one of the largest international firms in the world.

Each summer, Central Michigan University can send up to two students to Beijing to intern at Weber Shandwick, a global public relations firm that was named Global Agency of the Year in 2014 by the Holmes Report. The agreement was finalized in January and continues until Dec. 31, 2021. The internship is open to juniors and seniors majoring in integrative public relations or journalism with a PR concentration.

Students must apply by Feb. 20.

When department of journalism faculty Chunbo Ren began teaching at CMU in 2012, he was inspired by how department Chair Jiafei Yin started the China Daily internship program. Having been an account supervisor for Weber Shandwick and aquiring 10 years of experience in the industry, he had the resources to do something similar.

“I’m so excited,” Ren said. “I think I made a great contribution with this internship program.”

In summer 2014, Ren visited China and talked to the management about the possibility of w INTERNSHIP | 2A

CCFA DEAN| continued from 1A The number of finalist candidates who would come to Mount Pleasant for campus visits has not been decided. Phersson said it would depend on how many applicants meet the needs of the college and how the committee feels about the candidate being a good fit.

The committee is looking for a candidate who demonstrates the values of CMU, and upholds a commitment to students and academic excellence. Phersson said it is also important the new dean understands the niche CMU fills in Michigan.

The dean also must be innovative when it comes to finances.

“What we are asking is do they have a sense of what CMU is all about, did they do research on us and want to come here because we are such a special place?” Phersson said. “We want someone who has selected us and done their homework.”

The committee will make recommendations to Provost Michael Gealt, who will decide who will visit.

After Salma Ghanem resigned as dean in May 2014, Gealt said he is looking for a candidate who has previously held a significant tenured academic or administrative position, someone

JESSMORE | continued from 1A Despite the difference between public relations and journalism, Jessmore sees his job as the same.

“What we’re hoping to do is show how special the university is. Obviously the end goal is to keep students coming to CMU and for us to show that CMU is a great place for you,” he said.

Majoring in journalism when he attended CMU, Jessmore was a journalist for 31 years. Being the photographer for University Communications at CMU is a unique job and a great transition for him.

From event coverage to candid shots of students walking to class, Jessmore photographs everything on campus except sports action athletics.

“It’s storytelling,” he said.

“That’s really what we do.

CMU has a great story to tell.”

Because CMU students and alumni are involved in things outside of the Mount Pleasant community, photographers have to travel occasionally.

Jessmore went to five different alternative break locations last year over the course of six days to capture students volunteering all over the country.

He is making it a goal to shoot at Beaver Island this year.

“I like to photograph things that are interactive, that I can be like a fly on the wall,” Jessmore explained. “I can just be sort of there following around and watching.”

Because University Communications photographers work for CMU, they are able to do things like climb to the top of the press box or go on roofs to get a different angle for a photo.

internship| continued from 1A working at Weber Shandwick.

While there, he promoted CMU’s public relations programs, explaining both the integrative public relations major and the journalism major with a public relations concentration.

“I received full support from the management,” Ren said.

Ren said the internship is a great opportunity to learn about the Chinese market, learn about a new culture, network and gain experience working with real clients. He especially recommends the program for students interested in working in international PR or working at a Fortune 500 company with international clients.

Though not a requirement, Chinese language experience

To see his work Public access to the photos taken University Communications can be found online at photostore.cmich.edu.

One of the goals this year for shooting photos on campus is to show diversity in the community and try to spend a week at every department to document everything going on at CMU. “Where somebody’s just in their own element and they allow me to come in and share that without controlling it— that’s my favorite thing, by far, to do,” Jessmore said. “I think as a journalist that’s the greatest thing that can happen for what we do, is to let people be themselves.”

Another part of Jessmore’s job is mentoring interns at University Communications.

His interns have gone on to get internships and jobs at newspapers and Ford Motor Co. Alumna Danielle Duval said working for Jessmore taught her time management skills and trained her to work on deadline. Now Duval is interning for MLive at the Jackson Citizen Patriot.

“Steve made it a self-motivated internship (at CMU) where I could plan my own hours and come in when I could,” Duval said.

Photojournalism student and intern, Shannon Millard, explained the unique photojournalism philosophy they have adopted when taking photos on campus.

“We’re like public relations with a photojournalism twist,” the Beal City senior said.

is preferred for internship applicants. Interns are paired with a mentor, but Ren encourages students to volunteer to help with other projects too.

“You have to understand the market and the culture. It’s really up to the student; you have to open up and want to learn more,” Ren said. “You have to volunteer. If you sit there and say, ‘I only do what I’m assigned,’ you learn less.”

Weber Shandwick belongs to Interpublic Group, an organization of companies with offices in over 100 countries.

According to Ren, this opens up even more opportunities for employment after graduation and gives Weber Shandwick interns even more connections. Because many different companies belong to IPG, Ren said there could also be opportunities for students to work outside of the PR field after

completing the internship.

The program will be promoted in fall 2015, giving students more time to apply, but since the agreement was just recently made, students don’t have much time to prepare their applications.

If students are selected as interns this year, Ren will introduce students to colleagues at the company. He also plans on going to China next year to make sure the program goes well.

Ren said students could also have concerns about program costs. Selected interns will receive a stipend, which Ren said is enough to cover meals and transportation. Interns are responsible for travel costs and local housing, but Ren said the Office of Study Abroad is supportive about helping students find housing. The internship also can fulfill IPR 555 internship credits.

New media sales minor offered

university

‘The Hundred Dresses’ begins Feb. 11

By Paige Sheffield Staff Reporter

Business majors learn about sales and broadcast and cinematic arts majors learn about the media industry, but few have both skills after graduation.

To address this, the school of Broadcast and Cinematic Arts department reached out to the department of Marketing and Hospitality to develop an electronic media sales minor.

“The goal of the program is to have more students who are ready to work in media sales positions by the time they graduate,” said BCA faculty member Amy Sindik.

To achieve this goal, BCA chairperson Peter Orlik reached out to the marketing department and they agreed it would make sense to offer a minor that combined marketing and BCA courses.

Sindik said a committee of two members from BCA and two members from marketing looked at what classes would prepare students the most for a career in media sales.

“There’s nothing like this in Michigan. We haven’t seen anything exactly like this in the United States,” Sindik said. “We think it’s the first of its kind.

The minor includes seven required courses for a total of 21 credit hours. The final capstone class for the minor will allow students to sell underwriting for the college radio station to gain experience in the industry. “(Students in this program) are going to be looking at the relationships between media advertising and consumers, media measurement and strategies of advertising, and media costs and budgeting,” said marketing professor Ken Cherry.

He said entertainment and broadcasting play a significant role in people’s lives, meaning there is a demand in the marketplace for people who understand media sales.

“Our CMU students will be prepared to walk out with an understanding of what broadcast clients want, how they plan and how to sell it,” Cherry said.

Students who sign the minor can waive the prerequisites for the required courses. Registration for the minor is now live. Professors in both departments have started promoting the minor in their classes and the minor will be included in the 2015-2016 academic bulletin.

“Our alumni are pretty excited about the fact that we’ll have students ready to start their sales careers after graduation,” Sindik said.

Women in STEM

Female chemist shares her experience being a woman in STEM, in a field dominated by men

As one of only two women faculty in the chemistry department, Anja Mueller is a minority at the university and in the world of science.

There are few women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics professions, also known as STEM fields. According to a report released in 2011 by the U.S. Department of Commerce, women hold about 25 percent of STEM jobs compared to the 75 percent occupied by men.

Mueller has experienced inequality first hand in Germany. She was born in Bremen, Germany, grew up in Munich, and arrived at CMU in 2005.

Of the four research projects Mueller is conducting, with the help of students and other faculty, has already succeeded in building a strong skin scaffolding, which rebuilds skin for burn victims. Now she is devising a water-based, biodegradable layer to go underneath the scaffolding.

She is also working to clean toxins out of water, build a fuel cell membrane and teach students to work with people of other disciplines.

Central Michigan Life sat down with Mueller to talk about her research, experience as a woman in STEM, and the importance for women to get involved in science.

Are there differences in treatment for men and women in the

At the CART lab.

“I look for a problem I want to solve, and then I design the material to solve it.”

Anja Mueller, chemistry faculty science fields?

MUELLER: “There (have been) instances where people actually told us, ‘women get 70 percent of the money men might get for the same job.’ I have seen a bit of that. It’s not always as obvious. Sometimes it’s just different expectations.”

What sort of different expectations are there for women chemists than for men?

MUELLER: “The research can’t be quite as good, quite as rigorous, quite as mathematical or anything.

It’s not as bad anymore and its not as bad here (at CMU) as it is in Germany. This department has very little of that.”

What’s been your experience with the ratio of men to women in science departments?

MUELLER: “(The department ratio) is actually really good for a chemistry department. Usually there is only one or two. Germany is a little behind that in some cases, so to get a Ph.D. for a woman is pretty rare when you are talking about the natural sciences.”

Have you experienced a scarcity of women in the scientific fields in general?

MUELLER: “ I have. In chemistry,

most departments, depending on how big they are, have one or two faculty that are female. The women are catching up in chemistry quite a bit, but you still have a loss (of women in STEM) before you get to a professor. Then you have another loss (of women in STEM) before you get to a tenured professor. It’s definitely not equal yet.”

How did you choose your research topics?

MUELLER: “I look for a problem I want to solve, and then I design the material to solve it. Materials is perfect for someone who want to think a little wider, as I want to, because you can start with theory, synthesis, or you can go to the application of materials.

You have a huge amount of options.”

What made you choose the science field when you were deciding your career?

MUELLER: “First I needed to shop for college (degrees). I started out in Germany with my degree, (so) at that point I was still a biologist. I always wanted to do some research on interface—that’s how I eventually ended up in chemistry. I figured I wanted to do research, but I also loved teaching—(and) there is only one job that can do both.”

City’s Historic District receives national recognition

By Ben Solis Staff Reporter

Mount Pleasant’s downtown historic district is now listed as a U.S. icon on the National Parks Service’s National Register of Historic Places.

The addition of the historic district is a first for the city — only a handful of its historic buildings were considered significant on the state level.

“Being awarded historic status shows not only a commitment to protecting our collective heritage,

but it also allows the district to receive tax credits and facade improvement grants,” said Michelle Sponseller, Mount Pleasant’s downtown development director.

To earn registry status, a building or a site must be at least 25 years old. Buildings must also have profound architectural significance. Mount Pleasant’s 8-block historic district beats that requirement three-fold, as most of its 46 buildings were constructed between the 1800s and the turn of

University Theatre will present “The Hundred Dresses” at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 11-14 and 2 p.m. Feb. 15.

Set in rural Connecticut in 1938, the play is an exploration of human frailty and conscience as a young girl watches her American friends tease and ridicule a young Polish immigrant, “the consequences of which changes her forever.”

The set incorporates video elements, designed by guest artist Genesis Garza. The play will be set to an original soundtrack, designed by Peter Ford, and composed and orchestrated by Ryan Elvert.

Performances will take place in Bush Theatre. Advance tickets are $7-9 and are available now through Ticket Central. Remaining tickets will be available at the door for $10.

the century, Sponseller said.

The benefits of historic status can also mean big money for city officials looking to preserve the district. The idea is to preserve the historic look of the buildings as much as possible. Some of the buildings remain wholly unaltered by time and other improvements. Others have been updated for a more modern look and feel, diminishing their significance.

Grant monies and tax credits for facade improvements can help

encourage property owners to roll back any changes made during the building’s lifespan.

Mount Pleasant officials began the nomination process nearly two years ago. First, officials formed a committee to determine if a building or districts met the requirements laid out by the Parks Service. After that, officials had to fill out a nomination form detailing building histories and what makes them important to the city’s legacy.

Gov. Rick Snyder announced Wednesday the state will recognize more than 300 same-sex marriages that were performed on March 22, 2014.

Eric Dennis believes all people, gay or straight, should be allowed equal rights, specifically the right to marry.

The Oscoda freshman said the recent push to recognize same-sex marriages in Michigan is a sign that Americans are more accepting of homosexuality than ever before.

“Everyone’s voice matters, everyone should be happy,” Dennis said. “It probably should have been legal before, but more people are out and open about it today. Some people still aren’t supportive, but a lot of people are realizing they’re human beings just like us.”

Snyder said he won’t appeal U.S. District Judge Mark Goldsmith’s ruling last month that stated Michigan must recognize these unions.

“The judge has determined that same-sex couples were legally married on that day, and we will follow the law and extend state marriage benefits to those couples,” Snyder said in a press release.

Same-sex couples will be given the same spousal benefits as straight couples.

They can now file joint income taxes, enjoy pension benefits and adopt children.

“I know there are strong feelings on both sides of this issue, and it’s vitally important for an expedient resolution that will allow people in Michigan, as well as other states, to move forward together on the other challenges we face,” Snyder said in the press release. “I appreciate that the larger question will be addressed by the U.S. Supreme Court this year. This is an issue that has been divisive across our country. Our nation’s highest court will decide this issue.”

Highland freshman Nicole Schumacher said the issue has already been decided.

Comparing today’s gay rights movement to civil rights struggles of the past, she said further discussion of the issue will lead to more support.

“It’s naive to not support gay marriage,” Schumacher said. “If we don’t learn from our history, we repeat it. Good for (Snyder) and the 300 couples.”

EDITORIAL | Students can Take Care and avoid the effects of winter

Keep talking, Central Michigan

Brynn McDonnell

Mariah Prowoznik

Columnist

I am part of the 3 percent of students who have studied abroad.

While I understand the privilege that it takes to go abroad, I also think it’s important that low-cost programs are highlighted.

This past summer I took a faculty-led course in the Hague, Netherlands, where fellow students and myself learned about peace, justice and human rights. While my experience cost quite a lot, there are other programs available for any student who wishes to go abroad.

An editorial published on Monday, Feb. 2 in Central Michigan Life proclaimed that most programs are too expensive and inconvenient for schedules. While the price can be difficult to work around, there are options for those who wish to study abroad without breaking the bank.

If one were to explore the study abroad website, they would find that many of the programs are tuition exchange programs, meaning that the tuition paid abroad would be the same as Central Michigan University. While there are plane tickets and other fees, these programs help students find an affordable way to learn and travel.

Some countries that participate in tuition exchange programs are Germany, France, Korea, China, Singapore, Japan, Italy and the Netherlands.

Albeit these countries are not like my dream experience in New Zealand (where one semester abroad there is about a year’s worth of tuition at CMU) any location would provide an incredible learning experience both in and outside the classroom.

One of the other sections of the recent editorial harping on study abroad was that there are limited opportunities for students who are juniors or seniors. While it is more difficult to adjust credits, it is not impossible for some who have flexible majors or minors. I studied abroad during the summer between my junior and senior year, and the majority of students in my class were also upperclassmen.

One has to be on top of it from the get go, communicating with advisers and professors. It’s even possible to modify a major or minor, with an adviser’s permission, to allocate the study abroad credit in place of other courses on campus. Of course, I am strictly in the social sciences, so I might be lucky, but I know it’s not impossible.

Study abroad is an incredible opportunity that more students ought to take advantage of. There are scholarships, internal and external, to help fund the experience, and in return students gain an understanding of life and the subject they are studying in a new perspective.

Attending a university is all about learning and experiencing, and study abroad is a perfect opportunity to do both.

The stress of a busy new semester of classes and other responsibilities can lead to feeling tired, changes in appetite and irritability.

Some attempt to brush these feelings off and chalk them up to a bad day.

The Mayo Clinic warns these symptoms could be caused by Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), specifically the kind that sets in around fall or winter. Caused by changes to the biological clock and fluctuation in melatonin and serotonin levels, SAD is a serious issue for students.

It is imperative that students not ignore these symptoms for what they are and not continue to ignore them.

First, students need to understand SAD as a disorder that is likely to affect much of the Central Michigan University population.

Two of the risk factors for SAD are living far from the equator, and being young. These are traits most CMU students can identify with.

Psychology Today reports that

SAD affects roughly 10 million Americans.

Understanding SAD is more likely to occur in a student population like ours during winter months is one way students can protect themselves. Being aware that it is widespread and prevalent can help students be more prepared in the event that it affects them.

If SAD is left unattended, it can lead to more serious conditions such as depression, substance abuse and withdrawal from social situations. Being able to not only recognize the signs of the disorder, but to also accept and seek help is important in order for students to remain healthy.

CMU employs a Take Care initiative that encourages students to look out for the well being of others by intervening in unhealthy situations.

In addition to taking care of each other, students need to speak up and seek help when they recognize the symptoms of SAD in themselves and others.

The Counseling Center offers individual counseling, group counseling and workshops, referrals to outside resources and a 24-hour crisis hotline. Residential Assistants and Multicultural Advisers are also available in every residence hall if students do not feel comfortable going to the Counseling Center.

SAD can be treated with light therapy, which exposes patients to sun lamps to make up for the lack of natural sunlight they might be experiencing during winter months. University Health Services began offering light therapy last year.

To ignore or trivialize the warning signs of SAD could be just as negligent as choosing not to intervene when a friend is in physical danger.

By recognizing the symptoms, being prepared for the possibility of being affected by SAD and stepping up to seek help, students can effectively take care of themselves and each other.

During the past five weeks of being your Editor-in-Chief, my staff has often asked me what keeps me going.

People keep me going.

You. The student next to you.

Your professor.

The people who smile back at me while I walk to and from class.

Faculty members I’ve had the pleasure of learning from— without ever being a student in their class.

I do this for the various people who pick up a print edition who I love to strike up a conversation with while waiting in line to buy one of my many morning coffees at the 7/11 on Broomfield Road.

It’s about the administrators I’ve met who are willing to find time to meet with me to talk about the changes I’ve made, and where I envision Central Michigan Life going in the future.

The people who keep me going are the ones who say ‘no thank you’ when I try to hand them a copy of the print edition.

Your sometimes harsh, uneducated slams on social media that keep my phone buzzing all day also keep me determined.

Even the professor who has criticism for every decision I make keeps me going.

Balancing work, two classes, a senior capstone, a studio pottery class, my boyfriend 88 miles away and opportunities to FaceTime my family, especially my one and 15-month old nieces, is difficult.

Your feedback, positive or negative, make being editor worth while.

When I first started out at Central Michigan Life, I was just a page designer learning the importance of headline hierarchy.

I mastered that, moved on to being in charge of the design desk and having the responsibility of teaching others what it takes to design a newspaper.

That wasn’t enough for me.

I pioneered a new role of visual director because I didn’t want to just design pages, I wanted to know why a story was going into print over another. I became more invested and asked more questions to enhance what I was designing.

That still wasn’t enough.

From the moment I first walked into the Central Michigan Life office, to the moment I walked out of the conference room after being named the next Editor-in-Chief, my insatiable appetite for learning about journalism has only gotten stronger.

Keep commenting, tweeting, writing and talking.

I wouldn’t be able keep going without you.

Pi Kappa Phi nab some new aces during Spring Recruitment week

By Andrew Surma Staff Reporter

The men of Central Michigan University’s Pi Kappa Phi fraternity put their recruits to the athletic test Tuesday night.

The fraternity hosted a volleyball tournament at the Student Activity Center volleyball courts, open to anyone interested in joining the fraternity.

According to fraternity Vice President Trevor Waslawski, about 20 members and 10 potential recruits participated in the tournament.

“The competitive aspect of it makes (guys) work as a team,” Waslawski said. “When

(guys) work as a team (they) really get to know someone.

You learn true personality during competitive sport.”

Howell freshman and potential recruit David Munoz, admitted his nervousness coming into recruitment week. He said he knew a classmate who talked him into joining.

“It’s better than I thought it would be,” Munoz said. “(The members) are all really nice and social—definitely not what the stereotype is.”

Other potential recruits like Grand Rapids freshman Austin Bechler have had similar experiences.

“Everybody is so friendly.

Everyone is accepting,”

Bechler said. “There’s not a fit mold to have to try to pursue.

I’m having fun. Everyone else is having fun. It seems like a great time right now.”

Long-time Greek member David McCatty, Pi Kappa Phi, historian and former Inter Fraternity Council president, said recruitment week is about additions to the Pi Kappa Phi family.

“We like to stress the point that this is family—family here at Central,” McCatty said. “We really want to bring everybody in to be a part of this family.

Bring your friends, bring your roommates around. We are looking for exceptional leaders who are seeking uncommon opportunities.”

India Jackson | Staff Photographer A group of Pi Kappa Phi members and recruits play volleyball, Tuesday at the Student Activity Center. The spring recruitment tournament allows recruits and members a chance to get to know each other.

McCatty, who is a Pi Kappa Phi re-founding father and brother since 2012, said Tuesday’s recruitment event went well despite inclement weather.

McCatty said the fraternity

offered rides to help members and recruits make it to the SAC through the snow and ice. “(Recruitment) is something everyone needs to experience at least once here,” McCatty

said. “Each group brings something different. There is every kind of person here.”

Spring recruitment ends Friday when bid invitations will be distributed to recruits.

American Marketing Association expands students professional development

By Adriana Cotero Staff Reporter

The American Marketing Association practices a principal core of business: networking.

Concentrating on expanding professional development, connecting with today’s professionals and understanding the business environment, the association holds weekly meetings, Wednesday in Grawn Hall’s Pierpont Auditorium.

“The organization gives students an idea of how the real business world works and prepares them for what is ahead,” said AMA President and Plymouth senior Harrison Michels. “Our meetings include speakers that give a brief overview of their company and examples of what they are looking for. This gives us all an opportunity to learn about these companies and also network with them for future internships and jobs.”

The organization kicked off its first meeting of the semester Jan. 28, in Pierpont, invit-

“The organization gives students an idea of how the real business world works and prepares them for what is ahead.”

Harrison Michels, AMA President ing guest speaker and CMU aluma Rachel Chizek. She works for Thomson Reuters, a New York-based multimedia and information firm.

Chizek shared her personal story of receiving a job at Thomson Reuters directly after graduating from CMU in 2002. She talked about how students should make the most of their time at CMU, the importance of leadership roles, what companies are looking for and how to transition from college to the workforce.

She also provided interview question examples.

“It’s important for students to get involved and make the most out of every opportunity,” she said.

“Even if it’s just a question about your résumé, or if you

N E W

are looking into an internship, you have the opportunity to benefit your future.”

Every Wednesday, meetings feature speakers, workshops, networking events and real-world marketing opportunities.

The organization also provides case study examples, LinkedIn and résumé workshops and networking events, which include their own minicareer fair called Marketing and Advertising Networking Night, or MANN Night, which takes place Feb. 19 in the Bovee University Center Rotunda.

“I wanted to broaden my spectrum of internship opportunities,” said Midland junior Hannah Zimmermann. “It is all about getting connected

SPJ symposium draws mixed reaction from attendees

By Jordyn Hermani Staff Reporter

After 11 French journalists were killed in an attack on Francophone magazine Charlie Hebdo, for alleged racist satire, the national debate on free speech was brought to Central Michigan University.

Students and faculty alike gathered at the Park Library Auditorium Wednesday, as the Society of Professional Journalists held a symposium to discuss the Jan. 7 tragedy, which took the lives of 11 employees of the magazine and one police officer.

Professors Tim Boudreau, Leila Ennaili, Talat Halman, Scott De Brestian and Central Michigan Life Editor-in-Chief, Mariah Prowoznik, served as panelists at the event.

Journalism professor and SPJ adviser, Ed Simpson, opened the symposium with a recap of the attacks on Hebdo, in which the employees were killed by Islamic extremists who later identi-

fied themselves as members of Al Qaeda, for publishing satirical cartoons of the Muslim prophet Muhammad.

“These are not simple times,” Simpson said. “The issues of free speech, free press, the right to think and the right to argue are more important now than ever. That is why we are here tonight.”

The panel’s first question— should news outlets refer to the attack as an act of terrorism— made it clear from the start where many of the members stood on the issue. All were in agreement that the attacks were acts of terror.

Before speaking further on the subject, Halman stopped to call out of the crowd professor Malek Abdul Jaber, to speak on what the essence of terrorism truly meant.

“To define terrorism, you have to get into this business of whether you want to use it as its operational definition or whether you want to use a definition that suits your flavor,”

Calli Morris

The Charlie Hebdo panel awaits the start of their heated debate on Feb. 4 in the Park Library Auditorium.

Abdul Jaber said.

As a professor of political science with a focus on Muslim studies, and a Muslim himself, Abdul Jaber said he was personally offended by the images Charlie Hebdo published.

He explained the operational definition of terrorism, as determined by the U.S. government, is drawn from violence used to “advocate a certain ideology.”

“The magazine, as I understand, has been putting out

these cartoons against Muslims and against Eastern cultures for so long,” Abdul Jaber said.

“As journalists, shouldn’t we be responsible if we publish stuff that we know will have actual repercussions on our society?”

History professor Doina Harsanyi addressed the counterpoint.

“Nobody can be insulted by seeing those cartoons,” Harasanyi said. “The only people who might be insult-

ed by seeing those cartoons are the terrorists. They are absolutely not anti-Islam or anti-Middle Eastern.”

She went on to say she believes that Charlie Hebdo was one of the “most pro-immigrant,” papers in the East and that it was a “cruel irony” that they were attacked for what they drew.

Back and forth arguing between Harasanyi and Abdul Jaber eventually had to be

cut short by SPJ President Zahra Ahmad.

The symposium concluded when panelists were asked if, hypothetically placed as the Editor-in-Chief of Charlie Hebdo, they would publish the images.

“Charlie Hebdo was a satirical magazine,” De Brestian said. “It has a different kind of audience, a different kind of self-mandate, and that may be different than other news organizations.”

Dodging balls helps build brotherhood

By Zahra Ahmad News Editor

Dodging balls and building brotherhood isn’t everyone’s formula for friendship, but for Sigma Tau Gamma it’s a way of forming new bonds.

The members of Sigma Tau Gamma gathered Tuesday at the Student Activity Center to hold a dodgeball tournament for Greek Life’s spring recruitment.

Social media coordinator, Joey Ballard, said the event is a great way to recruit new brothers.

“Our chapter wants to get the Sigma Tau Gamma name out, we hold recruitment events in both the fall and

spring,” Ballard said.

Spring recruitment runs all week. Whether a chapter needs more members or not, Ballard said the brothers enjoy the event.

“We don’t have a set number, were just trying to get the word out through our brothers,” Ballard said. “The brothers are very happy to be here tonight, we don’t necessarily look at the numbers.”

As the dodgeball tournament heated up, Sigma Tau Gamma’s president Hunter McCleelan said events like this help further the positive image of the chapter.

“We get some potential new members to see our chapter outside of the business of

Greek Life,” McCleelan said.

“They get to see our brothers on a personal level that can be missed from an outside perspective.”

Potential recruits attend a series of events to feel out each fraternity participating in spring recruitment. For Midland junior Cullen Shay, transferring from Delta College made him want to get involved in Greek Life.

“I want to get the most out of my college experience. This is a good way to get involved,” Shay said. “The concept of brotherhood is really appealing, along with the connection and sense of involvement.”

Though spring recruitment doesn’t bring out as many po-

tential recruits as the fall, McCleelan said the chapter likes to see as many people come out as possible.

“Last night we had a meet and greet where potential recruits go to meet the brothers and interact at a personal level,” McCleelan said.”This dodgeball tournament is a little more informal which can make it easier for recruits and brothers to connect.”

Events like the dodgeball tournament allow new recruits like Shay to interact with brothers of the chapter on a informal level. Shay also participated in Beta Theta Pi’s pancake dinner Monday.

“The enthusiasm of all

the brothers have about the process is really encouraging,” Shay said.

end Friday when recruits will be invited to a dinner celebrating the new members of each chapter.

BALANCING Academics WITH

Athletics

Gymnast Fagan uses dedication, patience to find success

By Mark Cavitt Staff Reporter

Kylie Fagan knows what success feels like. She has been succeeding for quite some time now.

A Central Michigan University senior gymnast, Fagan’s success stretches beyond McGuirk Arena, to the highest level of academic achievement.

An early childhood development major, Fagan maintains a 3.7 grade point average while leading the Chippewas to a Mid-American Conference championship in each of the three years she has been on the team.

For Fagan, winning championships while keeping her grades at a high level is a never-ending process.

“It’s definitely work,” Fagan admitted. “It’s time management.

You have to be dedicated to both in order to succeed in both.”

Fagan said she keeps her role models in mind as she strives for perfection both on the bars and in the classroom.

“A couple years ago I had my club coach pass away,” Fagan said.

“He is the one who fought for me to come to CMU. His favorite event was bars. That is my favorite event, too. Every time that I’m out there competing I think of him.”

Family traditions

The middle child in a family of eight, Fagan’s parents were both Division I athletes as well.

Her mother, Sue Fagan, ran track for the Chippewas. Her father, Tim Fagan, was a wrestler at the University of Michigan.

According to her mother, Fagan’s impressive run at CMU almost did not happen.

“She had already gone to take an official visit to Michigan State.

She had been accepted,” Sue Fagan said. “She told me ‘I think I need to go to CMU one more time and take another official visit there.’ I was so happy that she would have that same kind of opportunity.”

The Commerce senior learned the value of good time manage-

Senior Kylie Fagan, prepares to pull her herself up on the parallel bars during practice on Tuesday in the Rose Center.

“It’s definitely work. It’s time management. You have to be dedicated to both in order to succeed in both.”

Kylie Fagan, senior gymnast ment at a young age, she said.

“I was about three or four when I first started (gymnastics),” Fagan said. “I loved just flipping around. The structure of it, you always had a team but also individual.”

Halle Moraw, fellow senior and Fagan’s current roommate, said the Chippewas’ leader leads by example.

“She is different. She is very straightforward and blunt,” Moraw said. “She is probably one of the hardest working people I’ve ever met. She doesn’t like to talk about it very much.”

Gymnastics has had a major influence in her life, Fagan said.

In 2014, Fagan was the MidAmerican Conference Champion on bars with a score of 9.95. She finished the season ranked No. 1 in the MAC on the bars that year.

One season earlier, Fagan was an Academic All-MAC selection and a candidate for MAC Specialist of the Year.

Gymnastics hosts Northern Illinois, chasing national ranking

By Cody DeBona Staff Reporter

A determined Central Michigan University gymnastics team hosts MidAmerican Conference foe Northern Illinois University at 7 p.m. today.

Ranked second in the MAC, the Chippewas will look to improve on their overall team score of 194, after a loss to Eastern Michigan University last week.

CMU was forced to watch EMU accept first place in the Michigan-Illinois Challenge, two weeks after defeating the Eagles at McGuirk Arena.

Returning to Mount Pleasant comes at an ideal time for the Chippewas, their coach said.

“It is going to be good for us. The transition of a championship format is all in all good,” Head Coach Jerry Reighard said. “It is a good perspective on how to prepare mentally.”

In their last meet, the Chippewas started on beam and ended on bars, an order they were unfamiliar with.

Today, CMU will be in a regular dual meet rotation starting on vault and ending on floor.

The five-time reigning MAC champions said they expect to score a 196 or better at every event.

“It’s about staying (together) as a

team,” sophomore Caroline Fitzpatrick said. “As a unit, hitting the routines we know we can hit.”

NIU struggled through the first half of the season, yet are directly behind the Chippewas in the MAC standings at 3-1 (1-1 MAC).

The Huskies have not broken the

194 mark while CMU has hit as high as 196.175 earlier this season.

NIU’s senior Amanda Stepp could be the difference-maker for the Huskies. Stepp has proven herself scoring a 9.8 or higher in her vault and floor routine. She has also improved on the balanace beam as

the year has progressed. Stepp’s 9.825 on vault and 9.85 on floor lead NIU to its first MAC victory against Kent State earlier this season.

“We need to come in with a positive attitude,” CMU senior Halle Moraw said. “Come in, work hard, and not let the same thing happen.”

Senior gymnast Halle Moraw has been named the Mid-American Conference Gymnast of the Week.

Moraw, who has been one of the most consistent CMU gymnasts this season, competed in three events and came in the top three of all events.

The Clarkston native scored a personal best on vault with a 9.875 (first place), 9.75 on beam (third place) and a 9.875 on floor (first place) against Eastern Michigan University last week.

This is the second time Moraw has received Player of the Week honors from the conference.

Moraw and the Chippewas host Northern Illinois University at 7 p.m. today at McGuirk Arena.

Chippewas, Broncos tied for second in MAC West ahead of showdown

By Joe Judd Staff Reporter

The last three times they have met, the Central Michigan University’s men’s basketball team came up short against its biggest rival.

However, this season has been very different than the last three years.

Western Michigan University will have to beat CMU in its own house at 2 p.m. on Saturday at McGuirk Arena.

CMU holds the second spot in the Mid-American Conference West division standings. The Broncos hold the third.

“Western has had success and they’ve done (that) with mostly four or five year players,” Head Coach Keno Davis said. “Each year we play them it seems like they have a lot of veterans who know what they’re doing.”

Follwing a 76-74 overtime loss to Bowling Green state University on Wednesday, the Chippewas stand at 15-5 overall and 5-4 in the conference.

“It’s a rivalry game and we understand that,” Davis said. “We want our game to be just as important as our game with Eastern, Toledo or Ball State.”

Davis and the Chippewas expect a big crowd at McGuirk Arena this weekend.

“I understand the rivalry, especially from a fan’s perspective,” Davis said. “I’m not trying to minimize it. I know for us it’s a win or a loss. It’s one game at a time.”

Junior guard Chris Fowler will lead the Chippewas into his sixth game against the

Broncos. Fowler scored 42 points in CMU’s loss to BGSU on Wednesday night.

“Every game we play we want to play it like it’s a championship game,” Fowler said. “I don’t necessarily get too caught up or concerned with the rivalry. The only thing we’re concerned with is playing as hard as we can and

trying to get a win.”

Fowler shot 60 percent from the field in his last game, despite injuring his hand during the opening moments of the clash with BGSU. “If I play as well as I can and leave it all out there I feel like I can be okay with the outcome,” he said. “Of course, I don’t want to lose.”

If the Chippewas beat Western Michigan University Saturday, they will have at least 16 wins for the first time since 2002-2003. In the last 35 seasons, CMU has only had 16 or more wins four times.

Sitting at third in the nation, CMU averages 10.7 3-pointers made per game.

Jerry Reighard said Fagan’s successes on his team and in her personal and academic life are no coincidence.

“What makes her successful in the classroom allows her to be successful in athletics,” Reighard said.

Fagan’s dedication to personal success makes her easy to coach, Reighard said.

“If you’re not really smart you may do the sport and have the talent but you’re not going to be all-conference,” he said.

“It’s much easier to coach a smart person than make

a mediocre person smart about their sport.”

However, Reighard observed Fagan’s quietly passionate style has made it somewhat difficult to get to know her.

“Kylie has a really laid back personality,” he said.

“It takes a lot to get to know her. It’s taken me really until her junior year to really break in and get to know her.”

One of Fagan’s professors, Jeanne Chaffin echoed Reighard’s comments.

“She came to class every day,” Chaffin said. “It was a three-hour night class. She was always there and always on time ready to go.”

Chaffin said Fagan never used her student-athlete

status as an excuse when it came to her academics.

“I had her last spring when she was in season and busy with competitions,” Chaffin said. “She never said ‘oh by the way I have a meet this weekend,’ her teammates had to tell me. It was so exciting to watch her walk through this process.

She is an amazing kid.”

With the praise of her teachers, coaches and teammates constantly filling her ears, Fagan continues to strive to be her best possible self and stay modest in the process.

“I have self-motivation,” Fagan said. “Ever since I was little I’ve always wanted to be the best at what I was doing. I’m very proud of my achievements.”

Guevara changed women’s hoops culture

Women’s basketball has momentum heading into matchup with WMU

By Greg Wickliffe Staff Reporter

Following a victory Wednesday, Central Michigan University’s women’s basketball team travels to Kalamazoo for a showdown with rival Western Michigan University on at 2 p.m. on Saturday.

The top spot in the MidAmerican Conference West Division is on the line.

The Broncos (14-7, 7-3 MAC) lead the west one game ahead the Chippewas (11-9, 6-3 MAC), who are riding high after defeating Bowling Green State University on the road for the first time in 20 years Wednesday.

“It’s another step,” said CMU coach Sue Guevara.

“When it all comes together one of these days soon, then it’ll be a good day.”

WMU’s junior forward Miracle Woods is the player to watch for the Broncos.

Woods is ranked 10th in the MAC in scoring, averaging 14 points per game, and third in shooting percentage at 52.5 percent.

With seven upperclassmen on the Broncos’ roster, Guevara said she believes Woods and the other WMU

veterans will impact the flow of the game.

“They’re a very experienced team,” she said.

“They’ve got shooters, they play some pretty good defense.”

The Broncos defense has been stout throughout the season. The Broncos are holding opposing teams to 56.7 points per game, which is second best in the conference.

They currently hold an eight-game winning streak over the Broncos.

“I know Western is our rival in all of our sports,” she said. “We look at Western the same way we look at Eastern, the same way we look at Toledo. So if you put more emphasis on that, then it’s less emphasis on the game next week.

The Broncos have been dominant at home, posting an 8-1 record and outscoring opponents by 17.4 points per game at University Arena in Kalamazoo.

“They’re scrappy and they’ve improved a lot from last year,” said senior forward Kerby Tamm. “They’re playing really well right now, so we’re going to have to bring our A-game to win on the road.”

Throughout my time as a sports reporter I have seen a variety of coaches, some good ones and some that could use a great deal of work.

Central Michigan University women’s basketball coach Sue Guevara is definitely one of the better coaches I have had the privilege of being around.

Before Guevara arrived in Mount Pleasant, CMU was one of the worst teams in the Mid-American Conference.

The Saginaw Valley State University graduate brought passion, hard work and dedication to a program desperately searching for a true leader.

CMU struck gold. Guevara gave the Chippewas their first conference championship in a long time and has catapulted CMU to MAC supremacy ever since.

Guevara has a lot of passion. You can see that in her players when they step onto the court. Every interview with the fiery coach is fun and exciting. You never know what she’ll say.

You are guaranteed a laugh or two during each interview.

She addresses each reporter

Greg Cornwell | Staff Photographer Senior guard Crystal Bradford runs down the lane Saturday at McGuirk Arena. The Chippewas lost to the Bobcats, 74-66.

Tamm said the Chippewas have taken Guevara’s advice and are focusing on the strategy of winning the game itself and not so much the rivalry.

“Each game we play is the most important, so Western is our most important

game and we’re treating it like every other game we’ve played so far,” she said.

“It’s always like an in-state rivalry. You always want to beat those in-state teams and be the best MAC team in Michigan, so that adds a fuel to the fire.”

Freshmen making impact on women’s team

By Neil Rosan Staff Reporter

Youth has not been a major characteristic of the Central Michigan University women’s basketball team in recent seasons.

Many of the teams that have played in the maroon and gold have featured a class of seniors blazing a trail for the freshmen to follow in the seasons to come.

For this season’s freshmen, it is a different story.

“Coach (Sue) Guevara is pushing us to do bigger and better things,” freshman Cassandra Breen said. “We are going to be the majority of the team next year. We are going to have to teach the things we learned to the next class. We don’t have time to be freshmen.

We have to step up.”

Following injuries to senior point guard Jessica Green and

sophomore Jewel Cotton, this season’s group of freshmen has been called upon to contribute more than expected.

Last season only one true freshman played 40 minutes.

This season, five true freshmen have combined to play 788 minutes.

“I’ve said I will play freshmen if they produce in practice ever since I started here,” Head Coach Sue Guevara said. “I don’t care what year you are.”

Guevara has a history of producing talented young players. Six athletes have earned Mid-American Conference All-Freshman Team honors in the Guevara era and two players, Niki DiGuilio and Brandie Baker, have won MAC Freshman of the Year honors. “(Guevara) is really good at coaching freshmen,” Tinara Moore, another freshman said.

“She will take her time and explain to us what she wants. She

by name, which speaks volumes of her professionalism.

There are always those selfish and arrogant coaches who refuse to change their system to fit the players they have, but Guevara isn’t one of them.

Guevara isn’t afraid to admit when she has made a mistake, and is always working to find ways to put her players in the best position to succeed.

It can’t be easy being a coach. With the position comes a great deal of frustration and sleepless nights, but Guevara has been able to balance all of the trials and tribulations that come with the job, and has seen huge success throughout her career because of it.

Her players trust her, and believe she always has their best interest at heart. That speaks more about who Guevara is as a person and not just as a coach.

Senior Crystal Bradford said that Guevara is constantly pushing her to go to the next level, which has helped Bradford become the dominant player she is today.

You have to give Guevara props for what she is doing here. She changed the culture and turned a pretender into a contender.

And even more exciting: She is far from being done.

Cassandra Breen – 386 Amani Corley - 232 Tinara Moore – 115 Aleah Swary – 28 Karli Herrington – 27 is very passionate. She makes me excited to play for her.”

Managing the highs and lows of young players is one of the biggest challenges of coaching a young team, Guevara said.

“I’ve had to be as patient as I

possibly can to get our players to make good decisions,” Guevara said. “We need to teach them that they are going to make mistakes; they just can’t make the same mistake over and over. “

Dashing For Glory: Reese, Davis leading track and field teams

Wrestling heads to Pennsylvania for nonconference action

By Ian Ashbury Staff Reporter

The Central Michigan University wrestling team will compete in the Edinboro Open at 9 a.m. on Saturday. The Chippewas will look to improve their 7-5 record overall and increase their chances of a earning a wild-card spot in the NCAA tournament.

To qualify for the NCAA Wrestling Tournament, a team has to have a win at least 66 percent of its meets.

Head Coach Tom Borrelli said Saturday’s nonconference showdown will be crucial for the Chippewas.

“We’re looking to get our record set to be in line for a first round spot if the MAC tournament doesn’t go in our favor,” Borrelli said.

Expectations are high for CMU going into the tournament, according to Assis-

“We’re looking to get our record set to be in line for a first round spot if the MAC tournament doesn’t go in our favor.”

Tom Borrelli, Head Coach tant Coach Ben Bennett.

“We always expect (the wrestlers) will do well,” Bennett said. “Hopefully we can continue to see improvement, and see them execute the things we do in practice.”

CMU will enter the tournament with four wrestlers ranked in the Mid-American Conference: Tyler Keselring, Zach Horan, Colin Heffernan and Jordan Ellingwood.

Horan, who is ranked No.1 in the 141-pound

weight class, is 4-2 this season.

Other CMU wrestlers to watch for CMU are freshmen Brent Fleetwood and Cody LeCount. Fleetwood wrestles in the 125-pound weight class and is 8-2 in tournaments this season.

LeCount’s record is 13-4.

The Chippewas return home Feb. 15 where they will take on Old Dominion University. OD is one spot behind the Chippewas in the MAC standings with a 3-1 conference record.

Tahshon Reese and Tina Davis came to the Central Michigan University track and field teams from different colleges, hometowns, and backgrounds.

Their differences on the track can be measured by hundredths of a second.

Reese, a junior from Camden N.J., and Davis, a junior from Detroit, compete in the 60-meter and 200-meter dashes for the Chippewas.

So far this season, Reese has set personal records of 6.95 in the 60-meters and 21.81 in the 200-meters. Davis is among the leaders in the Mid-American Conference in the 60-meters with a 7.55 time and a 25.34 in the 200-meters.

The pair’s distinct pasts have led them to the current success they have at CMU.

Reese’s Journey

Growing up on the East Coast provided a different environment for Reese than most.

“It wasn’t easy growing up there, considering crime and all that,” Reese said. “It never knocked me off of my goals of what I wanted to do. I knew I had to go to college and make something of myself. I didn’t want to get caught in the streets. It helped me become a better person.”

Reese ended up spending three years running track at Woodrow Wilson High School in Camden before the program ended.

“I had a good experience in high school,” Reese said. “My senior year I went to Indoor Nationals in New York and Outdoor Nationals in North Carolina. I really enjoyed my time there. It was cool to compete against different athletes from other parts of the country.”

“I enjoyed myself for the most part,” Reese said. “I met a lot of good people but the

environment wasn’t really fit for me. I didn’t see myself there for four years and trying to graduate Tahshon Reese there. I did enjoy the time I stayed there.”

Davis Comes Home

Davis grew up on the east side of Detroit, where she learned to stay off the streets and stay focused on her future as an athlete.

“I lived a very sheltered life,” Davis said. “My mom kept a close watch on me because it can be very dangerous in Detroit. I can’t say that I lived as rough as other people though. We just made it through.”

Davis prepped at Inkster High School, and was the best runner on the team during her years there. She qualified for states but did not end up in the finals. Davis placed seventh in the 60-meters during her time in the AAU circuit.

“I could have went to a Division I school for my freshman year but I didn’t feel I was mature enough to go to a bigger school,” she said.

After Davis graduated, she had a tough decision to

make. She considered schools in one particular region of the country, before deciding to head back home to her Tina Davis home state.

“I really had my mind set on the South. I had many offers in the South but coach (Dionne Henley) sold me over,” she said. “My family went here and my high school coach went here.”

Life in Mount Pleasant

Reese and Davis have different ways of competing and preparing for races. Reese goes head-to-head with other CMU dashers such as Dillon Brooks and Lorenzo Wells in practice.

“We just push each other and try to get the best out of each other,” Reese said.

Mark Guthrie, director of track and field, praised Reese for his work ethic.

“Tahshon is doing all the things we are asking him to do,” Guthrie said “He has a couple of little nagging injuries from time-to-time. He has a good work ethic and is a great young man. He is a nice face to the program and we are glad to have him.”
