On-campus job market for students best in 20 years

By Emma Dale Community Editor news@cm-life.com

With the high expenses that come with college, students usually need to have a job. Luckily for students at Central Michigan University, on-campus resources make that easy.

Jon Goodwin, manager of Student Employment Services said about 4,000 students at CMU work on-campus jobs every semester.

The largest employers at CMU are Campus Dining, University Recreation, the Charles V. Park Library, Facilities Management and University Events.

As of Jan. 5, there were 47 jobs vacant on the Student Employment Services website. Campus Dining had the most available

positions with 14. University Recreation followed with six and the Park Library seeking to fill three.

Goodwin added the offcampus job market dictates the on-campus market, and recently it has been the best market in 20 years. He said if someone gets a job off-campus more suited for their field of study, that opens up an on-campus job that keeps the job turnover going.

Although students can apply throughout the year, Goodwin encourages them to apply for jobs a few months before the semester they want to work during.

Though the number fluctuates, he said there is about 15 to 30 postings on the Student Employment Services website, www.ses.cmich. edu, throughout the semester.

“It’s always a good time to look, the job market on campus

FITNESS CENTER & INDOOR BASKETBALL

is really good,” he said. “Even if you start looking mid-semester, as long as you’re diligent, you’re probably not going to have much trouble finding a job.”

To apply for a job on campus there are two methods Student Employment Services recommend. The first is going to its website and looking through the “current vacant positions” tab.

There, students can find all the information and instructions for the position.

Job applications vary by department.

The second way is to approach a desired employer in person.

Goodwin said if students don’t see a posting in a department they would like to work in, they should talk to the person who is in charge of hiring.

Goodwin noted that Campus

Dining is the one department on campus that prefers applications to be online only.

When students are having trouble finding a job they feel best fits them, Goodwin advised keeping an open mind during the search.

“Be persistent and go forward with the understanding that you may not find exactly what you want,” he said. “If you’re willing to work, if you’re willing to have that job that you don’t think is perfect for you, then you’re going to do OK in your job search.”

CMU’s policy for student employees is a maximum of 50 hours in a two-week pay period during the academic school year and 80 hours in the summer two-week pay period. Most students usually work about nine-to-10 hours a week, Goodwin said.

While working on-campus not only provides a monetary benefit, Goodwin said it can provide improvements in academics and social skills. “(It will) help students with their time management skills.

Anything that’s going to help them have a better GPA will in turn put them in a good position with an employer when they’re out looking for their career job,” he said. “It (also) helps with socialization. I think a lot of students find the workplace is an oasis away from the grind of academics to some degree.”

Beal City sophomore Tucker Gross has been working at the CMU Bookstore since the summer before his freshman year.

Gross works as an office clerk and learned about the job from knowing people who already worked there.

For Gross he knew he needed a job and was drawn to on-campus employment because of the “convenience factor” it has.

“The flexibility that it has, the fact that you know you’ll never have a conflict (with school) and they can work with your

TOP EMPLOYERS Campus Dining University Recreation Charles V. Park Library Facilities Management University Events schedule,” Gross said.

For Warren junior Claire Koniezko, a major element in working at the CMU Bookstore has also been the advantage on being on campus and being able to walk to class from work.

Koniezko encouraged students to work on campus because

employers are accommodating to their academics.

“To have a job you just engage in the give and take of the adult world every day,” Goodwin said.

“So I think all of those things work together and give students an understanding of the discipline and dedication it takes to have success.”

OPINION

JAN. 8, 2018 | CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM

I’m living my last semester for more than just myself My grandmother didn't go to college.

She went to cosmetology school to get her license to cut hair. She married my grandfather. She worked as a secretary. She had three daughters who, in turn, lead lives of their own where they got married and had seven total grandchildren.

For a while, she worked at a Meijer in Berkley, Michigan. She worked shifts long before I got up, fixing their computer systems to keep the cash registers and selfscanners going, and sometimes went to bed shortly after I came home from school.

When we lived together — me, her and my mother — she chain-smoked on the back steps of the basement while lecturing me on the importance of staying in school and trying my best. She didn't quite know how to relate to me, but she tried her hardest.

She'd sneak me packets of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards out of fresh shipments before they'd hit store shelves even though she couldn't pronounce the names of any

Jordyn Hermani Editor-in-Chief

of the characters and frequently asked my how my "Yu-glee-oh collection" was going. She'd buy me toys for my dog, even though she thought he was too big and mean for me to handle. She'd make me dinner even when she was almost too tired to stand after 14-hour work days and listen to me whine about how I "didn't like it" — like most picky eightyear-olds are wont to do.

This year is the last semester of my undergraduate career. Everything she told me throughout my life, every question she's ever asked about my school habits and social life — I've always tried to follow her advice.

Finally, in May, I will have all my hard work

I've put in over the last 20-something years pay off.

Except, she won't get to see it unfold.

My grandmother died the day before I was due back to school to start production of Central Michigan Life. Bone cancer. My mother told me the minute after I took my last final of the week in December.

"How much time," I remember asking.

"Days? Weeks? They don't even know," she had said. "It's bad."

Bad was an understatement. Over the course of winter break, she deteriorated before my eyes. If you've never seen someone quite literally drained of their life, I assure you, it's harrowing. A real "come to Jesus" moment, if you've ever heard the metaphor.

The last thing I told her was that I'd see her soon. The last thing she told me was that she was proud of me.

This semester means a little more to me

now than just my last year of college. It's more than just my own experience. It's the last semester for a woman who raised three daughters and then helped to educate, nurture, love and spoil a gaggle of grandkids.

It's the last semester for a woman who never got to set foot in a university classroom but made sure all her daughters had the opportunity. It's for the woman who wasn't perfect (really though, none of us are) but who made sure she gave more than what she could for the rest of us.

Make sure you make the most of this semester. Make sure you remember and thank the people who helped you get this far. If you don't know what's going to come next, that's fine, but make sure you focus on the now.

Make sure you don't take it for granted.

Because come May, I know I'll be walking across the stage for more than just myself.

Last year’s challenges inspire opportunites for growth Last year presented itself with many more challenges then some students could handle. For me, the culmination of poor self-care practices and a negative external environment led to an anxietydriven train wreck of a semester.

Fifteen years of being an athlete taught me that college is just another sport; success is determined by how you play the game Our campus is the metaphorical soccer pitch on which we compete for academic success. There are rules and guidelines you must abide by in order to attain your degree. You have coaches in the form of academic counselors and tutors to help fine tune your academic skills.

Most importantly, all college students build a team of friends around them to best school’s challenges. The stronger your team, the more competitive you’ll be in your matchup against exams and school projects.

Tenacious athletes develop a particular set of drills to help hone their skills.

Connor Byrne Design Editor

I have made my own list of drills to help maintain a more peaceful state-of-mind this semester.

1. The practice of distraction is pervasive on a college campus. It can be hard to remember that we are always the master of our own universes. Just like the ocean, life has an ebb and flow.

Waiting for your perfect wave is what makes life so exciting. You aren’t going to be ready for that wave if you’re being told what to do by someone else.

2. Health is both mental and physical.

The path to a stronger mind is a stronger body. Stress can induce chronic malnutrition and poor self-care habits. For many of us, there is this mild apprehension

behind maintaining our physical bodies.

Gyms can be intimidating, the people in them sometimes even more so. I challenge you to find your own dojo this year. Buy a yoga mat. Center yourself every morning with an active form of meditation. Just 15 minutes of stretching in the morning can set yourself up for a more motivated and focused day at school or work.

3. The concept of multi-tasking dominates our social culture. Our human brain was not built to handle multiple tasks. The practice of Zen can turn the struggles of a heavy workload into opportunity for enrichment. Try using a bullet journal to develop a short set of tasks that need to be done by days end.

Approach each task individually, work slowly and deliberately, and finish until completion of each task before moving on to the next. Bullet journals are also fantastic catalysts for therapeutic self-talk writing. Use your journal to set goals for the day, cross off those tasks

throughout your process, and finish your night off reflecting on the value of the day’s events and accomplishments.

4. Surround yourself with people that will help you to become the best version of yourself. Friend groups and relationships can change in a relatively short amount of time. Be conscious of the value your friends add to your life.

There will be friends that act like pillows; They are a safe and comfortable.

Unfortunately, a pillow only tells you to stay in bed. It’s the alarm clock that tells you there is a reason for getting up. Foster acquaintanceships with individuals willing to yank you out of your comfort zone. Those are the people that will push you to ask more from your life.

The most successful professional athletes are not the “naturals on the field.” They are the players who invest the most time and effort into their craft.

This concept applies to us as students.

Love your process, not the goal.

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN ANNOUNCEMENT At his State of the University Address on Sept. 13, President George Ross said the university expects to make an announcement regarding its capital campaign in April.

“Fire up for Excellence: the Campaign for Central Michigan University,” the capital campaign Ross said started two years ago, was in a quiet phase. Led by Vice President for Advancement Bob Martin, the team secured more million-dollar gifts in 2017 than in the university’s entire history.

The campaign is a fundraising effort that raises money for campus projects.

FRATERNITIES REMAIN SUSPENDED Phi Kappa Tau was temporarily suspended Oct. 5 as the university conducts an investigation into whether the fraternity violated CMU’s Student Code of Conduct and the Fraternal Information and Programming Group guidelines. Pi Kappa Phi was suspended indefinitely by CMU on Nov. 15 after being accused of hazing and for also failing to comply with prior sanctions. Phi Kappa Tau was placed on probation from March 2016 to Fall 2016 after a nuisance party at its house in which a beer bottle was thrown into a crowd of people. Pi Kappa Phi was temporarily suspended during Spring 2017 as the Office of Student Conduct conducted an investigation, but were recognized again this fall.

ENROLLMENT DATA TO BE RELEASED SOMETIME IN JANUARY CMU will release its Fall 2017 enrollment statistics this month. Sherry Knight, associate vice president for University Communications, said there is no specific date for the release but the data will be available this month. CMU typically has released enrollment numbers in the Fall semester, but the Board of Trustees in June approved a change to its count date policy that allows enrollment data to be released after the Fall semester.

Knight said the change was made to accommodate Global Campus enrollment.

In Fall 2016, CMU had an on-campus enrollment of 19,060 – a decrease from 19,549 in 2015.

Oh, my!

Sportscaster, alumnus Dick Enberg remembered as the voice of a generation

By Jordyn Hermani Editor-in-Chief

H

is warm voice was as iconic to the world of sports as James Earl Jones’ Darth Vader lines are to the “Star Wars” franchise.

Today, Dick Enberg’s name carries with it a gravitas and dignity. His accolades include several Sportscaster of the Year awards, Emmys and a number of awards from Central Michigan University — where he played baseball and graduated from in 1957. But at that time, few people knew of Enberg.

Over the next several decades, the Armada, Michigan native would rise to fame for his play-by-play commentary for basketball, baseball, football and tennis.

Enberg’s voice could be heard on ESPN, CBS and NBC calling contests from horse racing to the coveted tennis matches at Wimbledon.

“He was a national figure, and in his many, many accomplishments, he brought national recognition to the university. He was our spokesperson.”

HERB DEROMEDI

FORMER CMU FOOTBALL COACH AND ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

Courtesy Photo | Hayne Palmour IV San Diego Padres television announcer Dick Enberg waves to fans after speaking during a pregame ceremony honoring the end of his sportsbroadcasting career at Petco Park in San Diego on Sept. 29, 2016.

Now that voice has fallen silent.

A national icon, sports broadcaster and philanthropist, Enberg died Dec. 21. He was 82.

Enberg’s wife, Barbara, told the San Diego Union-Tribune the family believes it was a heart attack. He was set to fly back to Boston to meet with his family, who grew concerned when Enberg failed to arrive on schedule.

He was later found dead in his home in La Jolle, California, bags packed.

Enberg’s attorney, Dennis Coleman, released a statement on behalf of the family following his death saying the family “is grateful for the kind thoughts and prayers of all of Dick’s countless fans and dear friends.”

“At this time we are all still processing the significant loss,” Coleman said. “We ask for prayers and respectful privacy in the immediate aftermath of such untimely news.”

Word of Enberg’s death broke just as the Central

Michigan football team was preparing for kick-off at the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.

Fans, who had gathered at Wayside/O’Kelly’s for a watch party that day, mourned the loss of the famed alumnus.

Enberg’s full-time broadcasting career began in the late 1960’s in Los Angeles, calling UCLA Bruins basketball and anchoring a nightly sports reports for the KTLA television station. During this time, he also worked for radio station KMPC, calling Los Angeles Rams football and California Angels baseball.

Enberg was named California Sportscaster of the Year four times for his work with the stations. He was also the recipient of a number of professional awards including 13 Sports Emmy Awards, nine National Sportscaster of the Year awards from the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association, five Sportscaster of the Year awards from the American Sportscasters Association and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

CMU awarded him an hon-

orary degree in 1980. Enberg earned a bachelor’s degree from CMU in 1957. In addition to playing on the baseball team, Enberg also served as student body president.

He was inducted into the CMU Athletics Hall of Fame in 1993.

Former CMU football coach and athletic director Herb Deromedi said Enberg remained a huge booster for men’s and women’s athletics, long after his graduation from the university. “(Enberg) was always supportive of me as a coach and as an administrator. I’ve always appreciated the loyalty he demonstrated toward the university. He was always telling people he was a graduate of Central Michigan University,” Deromedi said in a University Communications press release. “He was a national figure, and in his many, many accomplishments, he brought national recognition to the university.

“He was our spokesperson.”

Enberg’s work calling UCLA games brought him

boxing, tennis, golf, Olympics, Rose Bowls and Super Bowls and Breeders’ Cup horse racing.

“He also was an author, a longtime fixture at Pasadena’s Tournament of Roses parade, the host of several sportsthemed TV game shows and was still calling San Diego Padres baseball games into his 80s,” the obituary stated.

The afternoon of Enberg’s death, Central Michigan Life visited a bust of the alumnus, which stands near the

national attention. NPR reported that Enberg considered his time calling “The Game of the Century” between UCLA and the University of Houston Cougars in 1968 the “most historically important event he covered.”

In his obituary posted in the Los Angeles Times Enberg is credited as being the “most versatile and enthusiastic sports announcer of his era.”

During his tenure he called nearly every sport under the sun: college basketball, NFL,

entrance of McGuirk Arena.

Below it was a white piece of paper, laid on the floor, which in black marker scrawl read: “Thank you, Dick Enberg (1935-2017).”

“Education was very, very good to me,” Enberg said, written on the statue’s plaque.

“Like many of you, CMU accepted a perfect nobody and allowed him to be a somebody.

And so it is and will be for many of you today. Oh My!!”

Enberg is survived by his wife, Barbara, and six children.

Retired director of choral activities dies, students mourn loss Evan Sasiela University Editor news@cm-life.com

Nina Nash-Robertson, who served as director of choral activities at Central Michigan University for 35 years, is being remembered for providing students the opportunity to sing outside the U.S. and to appreciate each day.

She died Jan. 6, as announced by the CMU School of Music on their official Facebook page.

Nash-Robertson retired from her position in May 2017.

“We are saddened to hear of the death of Dr. Nina Nash-Robertson,” the post read. “Dr. Nash-Robertson was a loving mother and wife, an inspiring educator, and a beautiful soul. She retired last May after 35 years as the Director of Choral Activities for Central Michigan University.

She will be dearly missed.”

Jenny Robertson, Nash-Robertson's daughter, stated in a Facebook post that "heaven gained the most incredible angel."

"My mom, Nina Nash-Robertson, passed away

this afternoon after suffering a brain aneurysm yesterday," Robertson said. "We are in shock and heartbroken, but are comforted knowing that she went quickly without pain and was her joyful, vivacious self until the end.

NINA NASHROBERTSON We also know she was loved by so many, and will post details about funeral arrangements once we know more. In the meantime please keep her in your thoughts and prayers."

People took to the School of Music's Facebook page to express condolences and remember Nash-Robertson.

"She was one of my favorite teachers. I loved the expressions she always had on her face," Nancy Patenaude Richards commented. "She always made you smile. Remember her saying never scoop up to a new you sing each note individually.

Every time I hear someone sing nowadays they're scooping all over the place (seems to be the new style of voice). And I say what would Miss Nina

say to that? She surely will be missed."

Nash-Robertson began her career as director of choral activities in 1982. Central Michigan Life reported in April that Nash-Robertson’s job included being in charge of vocal auditions, recruitment, advising students and organizations and coordinated performances with the choir director and orchestra director.

Students in the American Choral Directors Association, a chapter Nash-Robertson founded and advised on campus, created an award titled the Nina Nash Choral Service award before she retired last May. Nash-Robertson told CM Life last year that her final word of advice to her students before she retired was to just breathe.

“Trust that your life will unfold and it will be more beautiful than you could imagine right now,” she said. “Don’t only work hard, (but) appreciate.

Knowing that I’m (retiring) helps me appreciate each rehearsal and day more.”

Nash-Robertson spent her last month at CMU taking the Festival Chorus to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York City. MLive.com

reported in May that John Glenn High School in Bangor Township was asked by Nash-Robertson to perform.

Among some of the places Nash-Robertson has taken students to perform are the Czech Republic, Slovakia and China.

West Bloomfield Township senior Nick Kisse said the first class he ever walked into was NashRobertson’s concert choir.

“I've always loved music, and Nina was the first person who I met in college who I felt not only shared, but exceeded that passion,” Kisse said. “Truth be told, she was the reason why I kept paying to come back and do choir each semester that she was here, she just radiated a love for it and helped us make tremendous growth as musicians and singers.

Kisse added that Nash-Robertson was one of the most important people he’d ever met and encouraged him to branch out, meet new people and experiment with how own limitations.

“She was a saint, an absolute cut above the rest, and I'll never forget that,” he said.

Former 2009 homecoming grand marshal Carter Oosterhouse is facing sexual misconduct allegations.

Star of HGTV shows “Carter Can” and “Trading Spaces,” Oosterhouse has been accused by a makeup artist Kailey Kaminsky, who worked with him in 2008, of being coerced into offering him sexual favors.

The claims were first published by The Hollywood Reporter on Dec. 14. Kaminsky alleges Oosterhouse forced her to repeatedly perform oral sex on him on “10 to 15 occasions” in 2008 during production of “Carter Can” in order to keep her job.

Kaminsky said the misconduct drove her to be hospitalized due to depression and no longer works in the make-up industry. She cites the #MeToo movement as giving her the power to come out and “set the record straight about what happened,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “(Oosterhouse) took

Carter Oosterhouse

away the joy that I got from doing makeup,” Kaminsky said in the report. “I just had no confidence.”

Oosterhouse acknowledges the sexual acts between he and Kaminsky, but maintains the relationship was “100 percent mutual and consensual,” according to the same report.

“I had an intimate relationship with (Kaminsky) nine years ago,” Oosterhouse told the magazine in December.

“In no way did I ever feel, nor was it ever indicated to me, that (Kaminsky) was uncomfortable during our intimate relationship.

I would have never done anything that I was not sure

was mutually agreeable.”

Despite this, Oosterhouse, a Traverse City native, has received repercussions for Kaminsky’s allegations. On Dec. 15, The Grand Rapids Press reported the Lake Michigan Credit Union — which Oosterhouse has served as the face of for the past five years — has cut ties with the reality star.

LMCU Senior Vice President Don Bratt cited the company’s “zero tolerance policy” toward sexual harassment as the company’s reasoning behind the suspension. He noted further investigation into the issue would impact whether or not the credit union would continue their partnership.

A 2000 alumnus, Oosterhouse has been invited back to the university a number of times, most recently as a speaker at a Spring 2017 Commencement ceremony.

Students volunteer across country for Alternative Breaks

By Mitchell Kukulka News Editor news@cm-life.com

Canton senior Mark Zdan first discovered his love for the Alternative Break program in 2015, when he signed up to take part in the "rural poverty" program in Jonesboro, Arkansas.

He volunteered at the food distribution program for impoverished people living in the community. Zdan liked the experience so much that he signed up for another break in the spring, where he traveled to Pittsburgh to assist in "urban renewal" efforts.

Offered during winter, spring and summer breaks by the Mary Ellen Brandell Volunteer Center, the Alternative Break program gives students an opportunity to spend their break volunteering throughout the country.

Over winter break, 255 students were sent to 22 different locations across the country, said Erica Johnson, assistant director of the Mary Ellen Brandell Volunteer Center. The students were split into groups of up to 12 people.

"While it is difficult to choose just one aspect of the breaks that is the most valuable, I would say that participants in (Alternative Breaks) learn the transferable skill of how to work with others to address community problems," Johnson said.

Zdan spent his winter break serving as a site leader for an excursion in New Orleans where students worked with the nonprofit organization the St. Bernard Project. The organization was founded in March 2006 to assist those affected by Hurricane Katrina.

On the break, Zdan's group worked with SBP to repair a house that was destroyed by a tornado in February — specifically by hanging drywall and interior painting.

Zdan believes the Alternative Break program is valuable because it offers unique experiences that most students won't be able to find anywhere else in their college career. Over this last break, Zdan met a survivor of Hurricane Katrina and heard her firsthand story of what she went through. "(Alternative Breaks) is a really great program because it has something to offer for pretty much everybody," Zdan said.

"It's great way to meet people. I'm still in touch with the people I worked with on my breaks from years ago."

Zdan was attracted to the project due to his interest in construction. While on break, Zdan's group stayed in a local community center that doubled as a place for homeless people to receive food and shelter.

He compared the living conditions to a hostel in Europe. He said this type of living arrangement is typical throughout the Alternative Break program, including the breaks he went on in the past.

The volunteer center offered 22 volunteer locations over winter break, an increase from 19 offered last year. Among the new locations were Wall Township, New Jersey for community restoration and

Savannah, Georgia for urban arbor — taking care of trees within an urban setting.

Hartland junior Brooke Rose spent her break in Homestead, Florida, where she worked at the Everglades Outpost animal sanctuary. The shelter works to ideally rehabilitate and release animals into their natural habitats.

In cases where the animals were surrendered or unable to be released, volunteers at the shelter care for the animals full-time, Rose said.

In addition to caring for animals at the shelter Rose's group helped clear debris and damages left from the recent hurricane season.

Rose said she valued the opportunity w BREAKS | 17

to meet other people that shared her passion for animal welfare.

"Although it's not related to my field of study, I am very passionate about animal welfare and animal rescue," Rose said. "I thought it would be a great opportunity to get involved with Alternative Breaks for the first time and to branch out of my comfort zone and do something I'm not used to.

Even the difference that volunteering for just one week can make is tremendous."

Also in Florida at the time was Canton senior Joshua Geary, who volunteered to help maintain two of the state’s national parks.

At the Everglade National Park, Geary and other volunteers helped pick up debris left from Hurricane Irma in September that the understaffed national park had missed.

At Biscayne National Park, Geary helped pick up trash that regularly washed up on the shores of the island-based park due to littering.

Working for the volunteer center as a social media and registered student organization outreach

student coordinator, Geary has participated in two other breaks in the past.

"I really like to choose issues that I'm not too knowledgeable on," Geary said. "The idea of nature conservation is important to see the human impact on climate change and global warming. It's important to understand that humans have a very direct impact on our planet's environment, and to see that firsthand was really education."

Some of the break programs offered let students take a less direct approach to their volunteer work.

Eaton Rapids sophomore Katie Franz accompanied a group to the Sci Tech Museum in Aurora, Illinois to assist in the museums daily operations.

Franz helped give tours to local schools that came to the museum and develop demonstrate the museums exhibits.

Before this past winter break, Franz participated in two Alternative Break programs: "alternative education" and "leadership through education."

"Last year, I went on a couple (alternative) breaks and I realized that I loved taking all this free time that I have and serving a community and putting my efforts into making these communities better places," Franz said. "I would recommend (Alternative Breaks) to every single person I've ever met if I could."

50 attend first Spring Leadership Safari

By Corey Micho Staff reporter news@cm-life.com

Roseville sophomore Sam Zeeryp didn't know what to expect before taking part in the inaugural Spring Leadership Safari program.

The orientation-style program, which usually happens in the fall, is meant to show incoming students how to get involved in the Central Michigan University community. The event kicked off Jan. 7.

Despite his initial trepidation, Zeeryp quickly became comfortable with the event and his new community as the day went on.

“The things we did were ridiculous, but the good kind of ridiculous,” Zeeryp said.

The goal of Spring Leadership Safari is to allow students to be introduced to leadership, connection and resources offered through CMU, said Alex Kappus, assistant director of the Sarah R. Opperman Leadership Institute.

The majority of Spring Safari participants included new students, transfer students and first-year students who missed the Fall Safari, Kappus said.

A Spring Leadership Safari event had been planned for more than a year, said Dan Gaken, director of the Sarah R. Opperman Leadership Institute.

"For more than 20 years, students who have participated in Leadership Safari have proven to be more successful during their time at CMU," Kappus said. "The Sarah R. Opperman Leadership Institute’s goal is to provide a Leadership Safari experience for every student that wants to attend."

Safari activities took place Jan. 6 and Jan. 7 in the Bovee University Center and Finch Fieldhouse. Royal Oak junior and staff assistant Harrison Watt said this was due to the cold weather.

There were significantly fewer participants for the Spring Safari, with 50 students compared to 2,500 students for the fall event. Although there are fewer students, Watt said that most of these students signed up on their own accord, meaning they would be more engaged.

Participants in the Safari program were separated into small groups, participating in discussions about expectations at CMU and meeting fellow students during their first days on campus.

The event took place over a two-day period – three days less than the fall Safari. Staff assistant Laura Kolbicz said there were significant difficulties fitting the content of the Safari

program into such a short time.

“Planning for the event took place in late October," Kolbicz said. "We had to build everything from the ground-up. We took from the strongest elements of the fall Safari to make the most out of the two days."

Watt said the Spring Safari is focused more on using CMU’s tools and services to aid students as much as possible along their path towards getting a degree.

Saturday activities included students developing a plan for their time at CMU, checking into residence halls and learning about the overall community.

Also included was an obstacle course, an exercise that included students doing trustfalls and a large-scale activity that combined rock-paper-scissors and tag, said Jill Pumphry, Team Walrus leader.

Saturday activities ended with a dinner and entertainment from slam poets Natasha T. Miller and Ebony Stewart.

Miller, of Detroit, has appeared in com-

mercials for Sprite and CNN, as well as being named a top five finalist of “Women of the World Poetry Slam” three times.

Stewart is a sexual health instructor turned slam poet who is the 2017 “Women of the World Poetry Slam” champion. Stewart was voted Top Female Touring Poet by the Spoken Word Awards.

The two poets told stories – humorous and serious – and used the smaller group to engage by answering questions. Miller asked people directly while Stewart used a bucket and picked written questions out of it.

The participants all laughed, snapped and shouted their thoughts throughout the end of the night.

“I enjoyed it a lot,” said Brian Souffrin, incoming student from Saginaw and Team Penguin member. “I really enjoyed the stories that they told.”

Sunday started with a choice between a worship service at a church or religious establishment of their choosing, a movie screening or

trivia session.

“The choices allow for the participants to connect with others who share similar interests,” Kappus said.

The rest of the day continued with a service project where students made blankets. University groups, such as Student Activities and Events, Career Services and the Center for Inclusion and Diversity were present to provide information for the newcomers.

The keynote speaker who spoke at the end of the Sunday session was Leadership Speaker Michael Miller, who has worked for six higher education institutions in positions such as assistant dean and multicultural advisor. He is also the co-author of the book “The NOW Factors of College Success.”

Pumphry said the long day was tiring, but ultimately rewarding, and her team agreed.

Gaken and Kappus both said the event went well, and they are hoping that the participants will feel the same when they fill out their feedback surveys.

Football enjoys Western win, gets bowled over by Wyoming Chippewas win eight games for first time since 2009 Dylan Goetz Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

For the second straight season, the Central Michigan football team lost by at least 23 points in a postseason bowl game.

Quarterback Shane Morris and the Central Michigan football team could not hold on to the ball in the season-ending loss to Wyoming in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.

Morris, who struggled with interceptions earlier in the season, was responsible for six of CMU's season-high eight interceptions. He threw four interceptions and fumbled the ball twice, while only finding the end zone once. Senior tight end Tyler Conklin and redshirt freshman quarterback Tony Poljan were responsible for the other two fumbles.

"There were some poor decisions on some throws.

When you go back and watch the game, you look and try to see what the quarterback was thinking," head coach John Bonamego said. "Obviously, it's very poor on our part."

Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen dissected CMU's defense, which was ranked No. 1 in the country in turnovers forced, with three touchdown passes in the first quarter in the Broncos' 37-14 win.

The Chippewas have now lost four straight bowl games, dating back to 2014's Bahamas Bowl loss. CMU holds a 3-8 record in postseason bowl games, with wins in 2006, 2009 and 2012.

"We didn't make the plays we should have made," said Conklin, who will graduate from CMU without a bowl win. "That's our fault."

SEASON REVIEW CMU finished the season with eight wins. This is the highest win total since 2009 when CMU had a 12-win season under head coach Butch Jones.

Sophomore running back Jonathan Ward provided steady offense for the Chippewas in 2017, and was named to the All-MAC Second Team. He was the team's leading rusher with 1,052 yards and 10 touchdowns. Ward was also second in receiving yards with 48 catches for 470 yards and three touchdowns.

After transferring to CMU from the University

of Michigan for his final year of eligibility, Morris finished his final season with 249 completions for 3,237 yards, 27 touchdowns and 17 interceptions.

He has recently traveled to Miami to prepare for the 2018 NFL Pro Day in March.

Morris graduated from the University of Michigan in 2016, and announced his graduate transfer to CMU on Jan. 21, 2017.

The senior-loaded defense was expected to be one of the best in the MAC with defensive backs Amari Coleman and Josh Cox both returning in the secondary and Sean Bunting evolving into a good corner.

Defensive end Joe Ostman is tied for No. 1

in the country with 14 sacks. The Chippewas finished the regular season No. 1 in the country in turnovers forced, now in second place after bowl games. Cox is tied for No. 4 in the country with six interceptions. Bunting comes in second place with five interceptions for the Chippewa defense.

The 2017 season was Bonamego's best in terms of total wins. In his previous two seasons, Bonamego's teams managed seven and six wins, respectively. On Dec. 19, Bonamego agreed to a five-year contract extension, securing him until 2022. He has compiled a 21-18 record at CMU thus far.

In the first week of training camp, Conklin broke a bone in his foot and missed the first half

of the season. He was expected to be one of the offense's biggest contributors.

With new offensive coordinator Chris Ostrowsky, the Chippewas switched to a spread offense before starting the 2017 season. In the first game of the season, some growing pains showed, but the Chippewas rallied late to secure a tripleovertime 30-27 win against Rhode Island.

Many fans questioned how good the experienced football team would really be after the close win against an FCS team. CMU returned with the first road victory of the season in dominating fashion w FOOTBALL | 24

against Kansas. Morris tallied five touchdowns and CMU earned a 45-27 win to lift its record to 2-0 against a Power Five team.

The Chippewas suffered their first loss of the season to Syracuse in the Carrier Dome.

Syracuse, which topped No. 1 Clemson a few weeks later, held CMU to just 17 points.

CMU returned home to suffer a 31-14 loss to Miami (Ohio) in the first game of Mid-American Conference play. The RedHawks scored on their first two possessions and the Chippewas were never able to keep up.

Conklin returned to the offense and led CMU to its first conference win against Ohio in Peden Stadium. He caught 10 passes for 136 yards (both career highs) and two touchdowns against the Bobcats. Suddenly, the Chippewas were back into the race for the MAC West.

Toledo, the team who was picked to win the MAC and eventually named champions, visited CMU on homecoming.

Dropped pass after dropped pass, the Chippewas couldn't get very much momentum going on offense in the rain. Toledo shut down the Chippewas until the fourth quarter, and won 30-10.

The Chippewas traveled to conference-worst Ball State after homecoming, where they earned a dominant 56-9 win over the Cardinals, who finished with only two wins in 2017 and no conference wins. The Chippewas recorded eight sacks and 256 rushing yards against Ball State.

In the most anticipated matchup of the season, CMU traveled to rival territory on a Wednesday night to face Western Michigan. The Broncos' starting quarterback Jon Wassink was injured in the previous game, so CMU went up against Western's backup Reece Goddard.

The Chippewas trailed 28-14 when they scored three straight touchdowns, including a gamewinning 77-yard touchdown pass from Morris to Willis to win 35-28. This was Bonamego's first win against WMU, and the first time he got his hands on the Victory Cannon.

"If there's one thing I know about CMU football, it is that

we are never out of a game," said Willis, after beating WMU for the first time in his career.

Central Michigan took a second trophy from Western Michigan in two weeks when CMU topped Eastern Michigan, 42-30. WMU held the Michigan MAC trophy after being the last team to go 2-0 against the other MAC teams in the state of Michigan (CMU, EMU).

The Chippewas finished the regular season on a five-game winning streak with two more conference wins against Kent State and Northern Illinois.

CMU overcame a 17-point deficit in the regular season finale.

WHAT’S NEXT Cox and Coleman accepted invitations to play in the NFL Players Association Collegiate Bowl, Conklin is going to the Senior Bowl and Ostman is playing in the East-West Shrine Game.

Multiple Chippewas have the chance to extend their playing careers in the National Football League after showing skills at the 2018 Pro Day in March.

Cox, Coleman, Ostman, Conklin and Morris are expected to participate.

Coming out of high school, Central Michigan quarterback Shane Morris was a four-star prospect who ranked No. 71 in the 2013 class and committed to the University of Michigan.

In 2018, things are different.

Following three seasons at Michigan, Morris earned his degree and transferred to CMU for his final year of eligibility. Instead of starring as a Wolverine, Morris barely touched the field.

Instead of giving up on his dream, Morris is hoping to extend his football career to the professional level.

The transfer graduate student will prepare

for the 2018 Pro Day in Miami and will not return to Michigan until the event in March.

During his senior season for the Chippewas, the 6-foot-3, 225-pound quarterback completed 249-of-446 passes for 3,237 yards. He threw for 27 touchdowns and 17 interceptions.

Morris is looking to become one of the many expected former four-star athletes to be taken in the 2018 NFL Draft.

The quarterback will be 1,500 miles away from Mount Pleasant, but will eventually return in March for the 2018 Pro Day. -Evan Petzold Staff Reporter

FORMER MUSKEGON FOOTBALL STAR ANNOUNCES TRANSFER FROM VIRGINIA TECH Kalil Pimpleton, a former Virginia Tech wide receiver, announced Dec. 16 on Twitter his decision to transfer to Central Michigan University.

Pimpleton committed to Virginia Tech after leading Muskegon High School to the MHSAA Division 3 state title game in 2016. At Virginia Tech, he played in four games and tallied one rush for

four yards in 2017.

The wide receiver will sit out the 2018 season, and have three years of eligibility left starting in 2019.

The former three-star recruit played quarterback, running back and returned kicks at Muskegon. He was ranked and recruited as the No. 11 player in the state.

“Kalil was on our radar when he was in Muskegon,” head coach

John Bonamego said in a press release. “He’s a competitor and an outstanding athlete, and we’re looking forward to working with Kalil to help him reach his full potential.”

Pimpleton was named co-Associated Press Player of the Year in Division 3-4 as a high school senior.

MICHIGAN OFFENSIVE LINEMAN TRANSFERS TO CENTRAL AFTER CAMPUS VISIT University of Michigan offensive lineman Ja’Raymond Hall will transfer to Central Michigan, according to the athletic department.

Early in December, Hall took a trip to Mount Pleasant to meet with the football team and watch practice.

On Nov. 28, the 6-foot-5, 285-pound athlete was granted his release from Michigan, but decided to wait a little longer and figure out if he would stay in Ann Arbor or transfer.

Hall will have three years of eligibility starting with the 2019 season and will start classes in January.

Hall received offers from 11 schools, one of which was Central Michigan. He committed to Michigan on Dec. 5, 2015.

Hall was ranked No. 301 in the 2017 class, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. He was listed as the 30th-best offensive tackle in the nation.

Defense gives men’s basketball statement MAC win

By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

There was good and bad in the first week of Mid-American Conference play for Central Michigan men’s basketball.

Central Michigan won its first MAC game against the Ohio Bobcats by 25 points on Jan. 2. Four days later, CMU fell to Kent State, 85-69.

The Chippewas owned a 71-43 edge with 8:22 remaining against Ohio, helping the team coast to a 75-50 victory over the Bobcats to open MAC play at McGuirk Arena.

Head coach Keno Davis said defense has been making the difference. The Chippewas’ defense ranks No. 32 in the nation and allows just 64.3 points per game.

“We are still going to shoot (3-pointers) and we’re going to be an up-tempo team.” Davis said. “How much we were going to commit on defense — we knew that was going to be the staple this year and there weren’t any guys fighting it and they were proud to work that hard in practice.”

Coming into the game against the CMU, Ohio was averaging 79.8 points per game. The Chippewas held the Bobcats to a season-low 50 points. Ohio’s second lowest point total was in a 61-53 win to open the season against Alabama A&M on Nov. 11.

“We knew they had a lot of guys who could shoot the ball really well so we went in focused on taking their shots away and helping each other out and playing team defense,” sophomore forward David DiLeo said. “We know it’s not going to be one guy going out and locking down a guy, we’ve got to do it collectively as a team.”

DiLeo scored 22 points, adding seven rebounds and

an assist.

“I’ve got confidence in my shot and it starts with my teammates and coaches having confidence in me and they’re always telling me to shoot it as soon as I have an open look,” DiLeo said.

“When I’m open, I’m going to let it fly. It’s been feeling good lately both in practice and in the games.”

After game one of MAC play, Buffalo, Miami (Ohio), CMU, Ball State, Western Michigan and Northern Illinois opened with victories. The Chippewas earned the biggest point-spread with 25 points.

“I think we probably opened some eyes around the league,” said Davis, whose team ranks first in the MAC defensively.

“Tonight’s another instance of that. We talked about it in the locker room that it’s a great win and we should enjoy it, but one game doesn’t show where you are as a team.”

On Jan. 6, the Chippewas took their first conference loss, 85-69, on the road against defending MAC Tournament champion Kent State.

The Chippewas boast the top record in the MAC at 123. CMU’s biggest competition in the MAC West Division may be Ball State, who won nine straight games before losing to Buffalo on Jan. 6. On Dec. 5, the Cardinals shocked No. 9 Notre Dame 80-77.

Women’s basketball dominates in early conference play

By Anthony Cook Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

For the second consecutive year, the Central Michigan women’s basketball team has jumped out to an early 3-0 start in the Mid-American Conference.

With two roads wins against Ball State (13-1, 2-1) and Miami (9-5, 1-2) along with a home rout of Ohio (8-6, 2-1), the 20172018 team has matched the start of last year’s team, who went on to win the regular season MAC title.

Statistically, this team is looking better than the defending conference champion team. Average scoring is up 3.6 points to 81.4 — that’s good enough for 22nd in the country for offense.

Free throw percentage is up 6 percent to 83.9, giving CMU a No. 2 ranking in the nation for that statistic.

Of the 21 statistic areas recorded, CMU ranks in the top three

in 14 of those in the MAC. The Chippewas stand alone atop the MAC as the last team boasting an undefeated record. While their early success has head coach Sue Guevara optimistic, there are still improvements to be made.

Most of all, Guevara has expressed frustration in the way her team has taken care of the ball.

“Our unforced turnovers are driving me right out of my mind,” Guevara said. “We’re in such a hurry. There are little things that we have to clean up. We have to get that all cleaned up by the time the end of February comes.”

Averaging 15.5 turnovers per game, taking care of the ball has been the weak spot for CMU all season and something Guevara has agonized over after every game. In the win against Ball State, there were 26 recorded Chippewa turnovers allowing for 18 Cardinal points.

However, to allow that many turnovers and still escape with

a victory against a now one-loss Ball State team is uncommon.

It marked just the third win for CMU in the past 12 meetings between the two teams in Muncie, Indiana.

CMU won’t have to wait long before it faces a similar test against a MAC team in the same caliber as Ball State. The next three matchups for the Chippewas are Bowling Green (8-6, 0-3), Kent State (8-7,1-2), and Northern Illinois (10-4, 2-1). The Huskies will most likely give CMU the hardest time out of the upcoming contests.

After playing four of the past six games on the road, CMU comes back to McGuirk for a small home stand against Bowling Green at 7 p.m. on January 13 and Kent State at 1 p.m on January 13 before heading to DeKalb, Illinois for a MAC West Division showdown with one of the conference’s best against the Huskies.

“If we can stay with one game at a time, but getting contributions from everybody, I think we’re going to be tough,” Guevara said.

Wrestling has chance to regain MAC title for the first time since 2012 Central Michigan wrestling has a legitimate chance to take the Mid-American Conference title this season.

Head coach Tom Borrelli has challenged his team early this season. CMU has faced strong competition in both the Cliff Keen Invitational and the Ken Kraft Midlands Championships.

The Chippewas have also participated in challenging road duals against No. 9 Virginia Tech, No. 15 South Dakota State, No. 25 North Dakota State, and No. 24 Purdue.

With MAC play already underway, here’s why the Central Michigan wrestling team is primed for another championship.

THE DUO OF DOOM Sophomore Mason Smith and junior Justin Oliver have caught a few eyes this season.

Smith’s role in the lineup was questioned for the first half of the 2016-17 season, but that is no more. Smith finished last season third at the MAC at 141 pounds and wrestled in last season’s NCAA Tournament.

Smith currently sports a 24-3 record in his sophomore season, and currently sits at No. 20 at 141 pounds, according to InterMat. After wrestling on a bad left leg last season Oliver is primed to earn All-American honors for the second time at CMU. The Davison native fell one match short last season of earning AllAmerican honors. Now at full strength, Oliver sits at 21-2 and ranked No. 3 at 149 pounds.

The junior is primed to become MAC champion this season, and an even bigger run at a National Championship in March.

Mitchell Vosburg Staff Reporter

STENCEL SURPRISES Redshirt freshman Matt Stencel is showing the nation that he is next in line of a tradition of All-American heavyweight wrestlers at CMU. The Oregon, Ohio native currently sits at 20-10 on the season with a team-high 11 pinfall victories. Stencel also has one technical fall and two major decisions under his belt.

With Stencel’s aggressive style at the back end of the lineup, fans have a reliable wrestler to earn a possible match-clinching victory. Borrelli says Stencel is starting to blossom.

Stencel’s step in the right direction is not only great news for CMU this season, but terrifying for the MAC for the next three seasons.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR DURING THE SECOND HALF The Chippewas have four of their next five dual meets at McGuirk Arena before finishing the year on the road at Kent State and Michigan.

Both Ohio and Missouri will prove to be the strongest contenders for a MAC Championship.

Missouri has won the last five MAC titles, and have lost one MAC dual since joining in

the 2012-13 season. The odds this season lean toward CMU. The Chippewas return six starters from last season’s team, with this year’s squad including three promising freshmen and junior Jordan Atienza, who wrestled at 165 pounds during the 2015-16 season, finding a new home at 197 pounds.

With Missouri losing three AllAmerican wrestlers to graduation and the MAC Tournament taking place at McGuirk Arena in March the stars may be aligning to bring home what’s been missing since the 2012 season — the MAC Championship.

Gymnastics breaks school FOOTBALL OFFERS OPEN TRYOUTS TO STUDENTS record in season opener LIFE IN BRIEF

Students at Central Michigan University have the chance to join the football team with an open tryout.

In order to tryout as a walk-on, students have to email Albert Karschnia at fbrecruiting@cmich.edu by 7 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 8.

If a student is given a chance to play for the football team as a walkon, the athlete can gain a scholarship offer with exceptional performance on the field.

One of the most famous CMU players to be a walkon was Antonio Brown. He arrived in Mount Pleasant after a year at North

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

Carolina Tech prep school.

After one week of fall practice in 2007, Brown earned a scholarship.

Brown is now one of the best National Football League wide receivers and a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He finished the 2017 regular season with 101 receptions for 1,533 yards and nine touchdowns.

In fact, CMU football head coach John Bonamego was a walk on in the mid-1980s. He received varsity letters in 1985 and 1986. The head coach played quarterback and wide receiver during his playing days.

J.J. Watt, another former Chippewa, signed in 2007 with CMU, which gave him a scholarship. He left CMU to be a walk-on for Wisconsin, but managed to earn a scholarship while on the scout team during the first few weeks of games.

Watt was drafted in the first round by the Houston Texas in 2011. He is still with the team, but missed most of the 2017 season with a tibial plateau fracture in his left leg. In five games, Watt logged 11 tackles and two passes defended.

After earning the highest score in any season opening match in program history, the Central Michigan gymnastics team topped Illinois State in its season opener at McGuirk Arena.

The Chippewas defeated the Redbirds 196.375191.600, winning all four events on Jan. 6. The Chippewas held at least a .500 lead in each event, showcasing their confidence and skill on the beam and floor.

The Redbirds stared the competition on the bars while the Chippewas ran the vault.

CMU led 48.975 to 47.075 after the first rotation thanks to sophomore Denelle Pedrick’s 9.875 score and senior captain Katy Clement’s 9.800.

After the second rotation CMU led Illinois State 97.950 to 95.125. Both teams swapped events for the second rotation, where senior captain Bryttany Kaplan led the team on the bars with a 9.850.

The third rotation saw ISU compete in floor exercises while CMU competed on the balance beam. The Chippewas

“There’s nothing like making history.

Very few people in the entire world get to make history, but this is one of those moments.”

JERRY REIGHARD HEAD COACH

were starting to pull away, leading 146.975 to 143.975 entering the last rotation. The judges took note of the Chippewas’ enthusiastic personality on the beam and rewarded them with a 49.025.

For the final rotation, CMU owned the floor exercises with a 49.400 score and winning the competition over the Redbirds. Senior Macey Hilliker displayed her talent and received the best individual score of the day with a 9.925.

The seniors weren’t surprised by the team’s scores.

“Back in August we (senior captains) talked to the team and really set a fire in everyone and today is where the results show,” Clement said.

Clement and Kaplan both emphasized they aren’t content with a 196.375 and want to aim higher.

“The scores were exactly as we had been judging in the gym and it was exciting to see but it wasn’t a surprise to us as this team has the talent, all we have to do is believe in ourselves.” Kaplan said.

Head coach Jerry Reighard said a 197.000 score is now the goal for the team.

“To reach a 197.000 score each gymnast will have to improve their scores by about half of a tenth of a point,” Reighard said. “This team is ready to turn 9.700 scores into 9.800 scores and 9.800 scores into 9.900 scores.

“There’s nothing like making history. Very few people in the entire world get to make history, but this is one of those moments.”

The Chippewas travel to Ypsilanti to take on Eastern Michigan at 6 p.m on Jan. 13.
