On April 8, 2024, Union students began sending a link for an online survey called the Marriage Pact in group chats and on social media. The Marriage Pact is an annual nationwide matchmaking activiand are matched with someone with compatible interests on campus. The intent is for participants to agree that their match will be their “safety” spouse if they do not get married to other people.
The form contained questions that participants could answer on a sliding scale such as “I generally like to take control during sex,” “I believe in star signs,” “My partner can be ‘just friends’ with an ex,” and more. Several questions asked participants about their non-negotiables in a relationship, such as stances on abortion, politics, and their partner’s race(s).
A total of 734 students (out of out the survey from April 8 to April 15, 2024. In addition, once students anonymously send it to others over email. On April 15, students were able to see who they matched with
and given their contact information. Approximately 100 students got a friendship match instead of a romantic one because there were more female-identifying or other-identifying students in the pool than there were matches.
Though the pact could, theoretically, have serious implications, many students saw it as a humorous form. “I think it’s a really funny idea. I think, I mean, I don’t know how many people are actually taking it seriously.” Scarlet Gibby ‘27 said. “I thought a lot of the questions were really silly. I mean, I enjoyed it.”
The results were funny because it was just random matches.
“It got big on Yik Yak, so that’s where I saw it from, and then once I saw that, I clicked on the link,” Katherine Perez ‘26 said. “I know that some people didn’t get matched, it was just supposed to be for fun.”
Not every student used the mar-
have a boyfriend, so I wasn’t looking for a partner. I was just curious what it would tell me,” Carlu Thompson ‘27 remarked. “And then it gave me a girl, because there were too many girls, which is for the best, because as I said, I have a boyfriend. But I haven’t talked to her because I am too afraid and I’m not really in the mood. But overall it was a fun little giggle to have while it lasted.”
Other students felt similarly. “I personally did not do the marriage pact, but from my friends that did do it, the results were funny because it was just random matches.” Mariah Jackson ‘27 said. “Nothing really came out of it, but it was just something fun to look at.”
On other college campuses, students had similar experiences with the pact. Spring Chenjp of Rice University remarked that “I wasn’t really in it to get a match. I was in it to take the survey because people said it was fun.” according to the Rice Newspaper The Rice Thresher.
Some students, at least on other campuses, did go on dates with their marriage pact matches. “We agreed to meet up for coffee this past Sunday, we got the aforementioned coffee, and then we parted ways.” Suraj Singareddy of Yale University wrote in The Yale Daily
News. “He was nice, the conversation was decent, but that was about it. In the end, the fun of Marriage Pact was all in the expectation — that someone would fall out of the sky, or out of an email, whom I’d instantly have a connection with.”
On other college campuses, the pact has returned each semesterclear whether it will return to Union in the fall 2024 trimester or not. Until then, the 734 students who their matches and gain new friendships or relationships.
On April 16 and 17, the college hosted its yearly ADay4U event, which aims to raise money for the college’s various academic, athletic, and other programs.
Students from various organizations called alumni, parents, and friends of the college and raised a
To raise all of these funds, about 150 student volunteers from athletic teams and Greek Organizations signed up for calling stations in College Park Hall.
“Together, we build a community,” the donation website describes of the donation campaign. “Your donations on ADAY4U will give students the tools to delve into their education, tackle challenging ques-
tions, and become the next versions of themselves. Our strength lies in Union.”
The college also set a series of challenges to entice new donors. For example, when the fund reached 1,795 donors, trustees David Breazzano ‘78 and Denise Breazzano donated $150,000 to the college.
Various athletic teams also had challenges, such as pieing a coach
in the face when they raised a certain amount of money.
The class of 2023 saw the greatest number of donors at 41, followed by 1987 with 37 and 1991 with 32.
The class of 1978 donated the greatest amount of money, at $151,790, with the class of 1966 at $56,750 and 1955 at $50,550.
In total, 1,146 alumni of the college raised $635,642 and consisted of 38% of all donors.
A total of 413 current Union parents donated money to the college, totalling $106,088 and 12.7% of all donations.
Several Union parents also doto the college once certain fundraising goals were met; a Union Soccer family, Bobby Syed ‘03, Doug Wilk ‘87 matched $1 for $18,000, and the Nemer Family P’24 and the Jones

The Men’s Hockey team raised the most money out of all athletic programs, at $113,503 and 164 donors. The women’s athletics fund came in second place, with $66,919 and 87 donors.
The women’s athletics fund was created to support the college’s women’s athletic programs, and alumnus Don Lehmann ‘66 agreed to match every donation at a 2 to 1 ratio up to $50,000.
Students, parents, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends of the college can still make donations by going to the UAlumni website and exploring their options.
Donors also have the opportunity to give money to the college in next year’s ADay4U event in April 2025.

Street Artist Talks About His Inspirations
Allyson Bennett News Editor
On Wednesday, April 17 in the Nott Memorial, Bronx-born street artist Devon Rodriguez came to talk to students in the Nott Memorial.
Rodriguez is known for drawing portraits of people in the New York City subway system and recording their reactions to receiving the portrait. Marcus Brem ‘26 and Sophia Habler ‘26 moderated the discussion.
Rodriguez started by talking about how he came to the position he is in today. Rodriguez was born in a low income area in the Bronx and in a hostile environment. His mother was abusive, his father was absent, his stepfather dealed drugs, and his friends were gang members. He was even arrested at 13. However, he was interested in that he could use that as a medium to get out of his living situation.
At age 14, he applied to the High School of Art and Design in Manhattan, but he was rejected. So as a freshman in high school, he at-
tended the Samuel Gompers High School in the Bronx instead and met the art teacher, Mr. Harper. Rodriguez told Harper that he wanted to attend the school of Art and Design and showed him his portfolio. Harper said the portfolio “sucked,” and began to teach him techniques that would allow him to be accepted to the school.
reapplied to the school for his sophomore year, and was accepted.
Rodriguez then asked Harper not to tell others about his acceptance because he wanted to start a new life.
However, Rodriguez also saw Harper’s portfolio from when he was 19 and noticed that Harper did a lot of subway sketches. Even though Rodriguez transferred schools, he began to do those sketches on the New York City Subway to and from school.
Rodriguez initially didn’t realize how popular handing portraits to people was until the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. That was when he heard about people going viral on the platform and decided to try it out. He began by doing drawings of celebrities, but he garnered 1,000 views and wanted more than that.
He then decided to hand these portraits he drew to people and record their reactions.
100,000 views in an hour, then 500,000, then 5 million. He also gained 100,000 followers that day. The next day, he did the same thing and got 21 million views and 300,000 followers.
Eventually, he gained over 1 million followers on the platform and was able to relocate to Manhattan, New York.
Rodriguez does brand deals and aims to take a creative approach with them. For example, for a gum deal, he drew a picture of someone on a gum wrapper. He has also drawn a number of public Biden at an event in Florida.
As he read through the comments on his social media, he also noticed that a lot of people mentioned the videos made them feel happy. As a result, he created the Keep Smiling project, a merchandise line that aims to spread positivity.
Rodriguez advised aspiring professional artists that your branding may be more important than the
art itself. He watched YouTube videos on how to go viral and advised artists to add something to the algorithm.
For example, artists can look at trending hashtags on social media, watch the most popular videos, and replicate them in a similar manner, but not exactly. In one instance, a man in Turkey replicated one of his videos and got 2 million followers.
Rodriguez also advised that other artists can learn from one another. At the High School of Art and Design, he had an oil painting class where everyone would be in a circle, one person would be in the middle, and everyone else would paint that person.
He also went to museums and observed what other people did for their art. This allowed him to learn from other artists.
Students can look forward to Speakers Forum events next year. In the meantime, a variety of academic departments host discusstudents can attend those for free.
Details for those can be found on the Campus Events email group or posters around campus..

The Tortured Poets Department: All About Taylor Swift’s New Album(s)
Sienna Chambial Pop/Culture Editor
Last Friday, April 19, Taylor Swift took the world by surprise with a double album release of “The Tortured Poets Department” and its sister album, “The Tortured Poets Department: the Anthology.” Her fans, or ‘Swifties’ as they call themselves, had been waiting for this album ever since it was announced on February 4 at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards.
This announcement was the highlight of Swift’s acceptance speech on winning the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album for her previous studio album, Midnights. Less than 12 hours after its release, TTPD became Spotify’s most streamed album in a single day this year, according to NBC News.
One of the biggest songs from TTPD is ‘Fortnight (feat. Post Malone)’, which instantly hit number one on Apple Music’s charts, followed closely by four more songs from the album.
Ever since the release of the tracklist, Swifties had been waiting for this iconic collaboration. Friday night also saw the release of a music video for Fortnight at 8 PM, which the fandom instantly showed their love on.
Post Malone took to his Instagram to express his gratitude for the collaboration. “It’s once in a lifetime that someone like Taylor Swift
by your heart and your mind, and I am beyond honored to have been asked to help you with your journey,” he said. Other artists featured on the Album include Florence + The Machine, and writing and production contributions from Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner.
Taylor Swift has also been extremely active on social media in light of her recent release. In a recent Instagram post, she describes the Double Album as a collection of -

Taylor Swift’s musical career has never failed to disappoint her fandom as she always manages to come up with the most unique ways to engage her fans in her music. She is known to drop “easter eggs” in bizarre and unlikely ways ranging from her speeches to music videos.

Taylor Swift’s breakup with her boyfriend of six years last year, though heartbreaking for her fans, gave them a silver lining of hope as they were certain they would receive an album out of this major life event, uncovering not only the reasons for their breakup. but it would
also draw light to their extremely secretive relationship. The fans were not disappointed as songs like ‘So Long, London’, ‘loml’, and ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ had very obvious references to her relationship with Joe.
However, much to the Swifties’ surprise, much of the album seems to be about her brief romance with The 1975 frontman, Matty Healy following her breakup with Alwyn. last year. Check out the album to see what new information about Ms. Swift you can uncover yourself!
Coachella 2024: All You Need To Know About This Year’s Performers
Sienna Chambial Pop/Culture Editor
Ever since it started in 1999, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has been one of the biggest music festivals not just in the country, but in the entire world. This year, Coachella took place from April 12 to April 14 and from April 19 to April 21, throughout two weekends. 200,000 people from across the country, as well as some international fans, showed up at the festival this year.
As always, the most awaited artists were the headliners for each of the three nights. The release of this year’s Coachella schedule had fans rejoicing at the declaration of Lana Del Ray, Tyler, The Creator, and Doja Cat, as the headliners for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday respectively. Doja Cat set standards
to ever headline Coachella.
Other artists that performed included Sabrina Carpenter, Lil Uzi Vert, Ice Spice, Suki Waterhouse, Bebe Rexha, and J Balwin. After performances from crowd favorite the entire day, the fans were exhilarated to see the headliners come up on the stage for the limelight performances.
There was also a series of surprise artists that captivated the audience with their compelling performances. Ranging from Shakira, Billie Eilish, Kesha, and Olivia Rodrigo to Justin Beiber, A$AP Rocky, Becky G, and even Will Smith, these artists made the festival even more memorable for all the attendees.
However, every great event comes with its fair share of drama. This year’s ticket sales were at anend’s tickets taking a month to sell
out, unlike previous years, when tickets would sell out in just a few hours. This has made fans question whether the popularity of the festival that was once considered the gold standard of music festivals has lost its shine.
Here’s a list of all the highlights from this year’s Coachella, including both the highs and the lows:
• In a Surprise performance, Shakira performed her Gerard Pique diss track, later announcing her upcoming World Tour.
• Doja Cat brought out Teezo Touchdown for the live debut of their song ‘MASC.’
• Lana Del Rey brought out Billie Eilish for a surprise performance, calling her the “voice of our generation”.
• Celebrity couples Taylor
Swift and Travis Kelce and Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan were spotted dancing in the Coachella crowd.
• the band No Doubt reunited, bringing Olivia Rodrigo to the stage with them.
• Kid Cudi courageously leaped from the stage into the crowd, breaking his foot in the process.
• Doja Cat faced technical when her dancer forgot to hand her the microphone.
To sum up, Coachella 2024 saw a raw, energetic, and captivating lineup. Though it had its fair shareall lack of energy, it still upholds its reputation of being the Greatest Music Festival in the nation.
Upcoming STEM at Steinmetz
behaviors of varying salt waters on Europa, and an ion beam analysis of Zircon crystals, one of the earliest minerals on earth.
For those on the lookout for new science and technology related events around campus, the upcoming Steinmetz Symposium will have a wide array to offer in only a few weeks.
Making what will be its 34th annual appearance on May 11th, 2024, Steinmetz presents the efforts of Union College’s undergraduate research across every discipline, from dance to astronomy. These include hundreds of projects in STEM, the results of students working closely with faculty to investigate wide-ranging, novel research questions.
Oral sessions can be found from 8:40am to 12:30pm and 1:50 to 5:20 pm in the ISEC, Wold, Lippman, and Karp buildings, while poster sessions will be available from 12:30 to 1:50pm in ISEC, Wold, and the Schaffer Library.
Even solely within the science related presentations, there will be a huge variety of fascinating studies to explore. For example, in the oral presentation on proving the relationship between triangles and the Pythagorean theorem, a discussion of Newton polygons of polynomials composed with Eisenstein polynomials, a project on creating 3D models from 2D ultrasounds, an investigation of elliptic curves and diophantine stability, and a presentation on the application of theoretical mathematics in coding.
An even broader assortment is available for those interested physics and astronomy, including projects on simulating interactions between DNA and cobalt molecules, detection of single photons using spontaneous parametric downconversion, protoplanetary disk simulations using the Hall effect, likely
There will also be multiple pieces involving the GlueX particle physics experiment, including studies of spin density matrix elements for the phi(1020) Meson, improving
ty monitoring, and analyzing data
projects on lightcurve and period insights for Koronis family asteroid Sumiana, photometry and new synodic rotation periods for two Koronis family asteroids, and photometric analyses for two additional Koronis family asteroids available.
In the biology branch, research will include the comparison of proteins between neurodegenerative disorders, studying hunting movement patterns of bearded dragons, cell signaling pathways in the development of the spiral intestine in little skates, the role genetics play in the successful outcome of weight loss surgery, and even assessing ChatGPT as a patient education tool for diabetes patients.
Further projects feature fungal stressor response after gene transformation, comparison of staphylococcus bacteria and antibiotic resistance between healthcare and non-healthcare workers, analyzing tree diversity in historically redlined districts, the association between obesity and cortisol hypersensitivity due to single nucleotide polymorphisms, and using CRISPR to edit certain fungi genes.
dents will present research that involves regulating distance between gold nanoparticles particles in peptoid nanosheets, using CRISPR to affect fungi growth regulation, a study of the interaction between
teins, attempts at recycling plastic waste sustainably, investigating the anticancer properties of Schiff-base containing copper compounds, detecting metal ions in water sources -
cules, synthesizing metacaspase inhibitors, and PFOS uptake and concentration in wheatgrass microgreens.
Additionally, for those interested in both biology and chemistry, the biochemistry department will display projects investigating binding within microRNA, the expression and pu-teolytic cleavage in metacaspases, the role of the beta-arrestin protein in ovarian hyperstimulation synsignal for metacaspase activity, and blood-brain barrier damage.
Within neuroscience and psychology, visitors can seek out research examining the impact of chronic illness on self-esteem through perceived social support, the effect of PFAS chemicals on older people’s cognition, the role a social worker plays in the care of hospice patients with a history of substance abuse, the effect of va-
brain activity, the role stereotypes and speaker identity play in mishearing, study of hallucinations and dementia in end of life care, using knowledge transfer in problem-solv-al regulation in borderline personality disorder, and emotions near death in a hospice setting.
Finally, in the environmental science department, projects will examine topics including using algae from the coast of Japan to detect the source of nitrogen pollu-
tion, analyzing nitrogen isotopes in historical crops to study fertilization and pollution, selecting the most in rice arsenic levels related to environmental conditions like soil moisture.
Further, in geology, those whoing the Peruvian Andean climate through isotope analysis of mineral deposits, as well as a comparison of the peak discharges of different
socioeconomic implications, and an examination of water quality in lake systems near Schenectady.
This brief glimpse into the array of options can’t begin to capture the depth and complexity of the projects being presented this year. If any of these overviews sound interesting, intriguing and new, or even entirely confusing, make sure to stop in on Steinmetz Day and take a deeper look.
As students present their organ-
of research, the Union community has a chance to learn about niche topics they may never have considered before or would ever encounter otherwise, as well as appreciate the great effort and time that went into each and every project.

Romanticizing Life: On Being the Main Character
Adithi Chellappan 807 Editor
The idea of an afternoon studying in a café, looking your best, possibly waiting for a beau, has always been a part of the romanticization of college life. Sitting in a trendy coffee shop, letting the mocha on the table gently water down through the slow melting of the ice in it as you work through a math problem set for MTH 199 or begin outlining that essay from Intro to Lit Fiction–it just seems like an afternoon taken straight from the movies or a cozy book.
That’s what sitting in Novel feels like. Novel, a book themed cafe in downtown Schenectady is a small coffee shop and breakfast joint and a mere 20 minute walk from campus. When one tires of the hallows of ISEC, Schaffer, or [insert campus study spot here], it can be nice to take a break, walk away from the college, and head down to a place where working on homework feels more like a main character moment and less like another task on the endless to-do list of your average college student.
and games, beautiful chairs and tables, a small back room with extra
seating, and some delicious food.
A lovely Saturday afternoon was spent with my laptop, iced mocha,
the best recipe for locking into a hyper-focused study session.
As a part of the community section that is 807, it would be unfair to not talk about the various cafés that bless downtown Schenectady with
music, ambience, and amazing coffee and food, all of which are crucial to an ideal time studying, and novel is one such place to do this! Highly recommend taking a break from the library to walk around town (with caution!) and spend an afternoon studying like a main character, because what fun is life without a bit of romanticization?
Reamer Review - 807 Deli
Welcome to a new section of the 807 section of the Concordy: Reamer reviews! We will be reviewing different food items of various establishments within Reamer Campus Center and letting you know our thoughts on what we ordered. This week, we are featuring everyone’s favorite– 807 Deli!
The line for the beloved deli has always been intimidating for us, but staring at the daunting menu, and here are our thoughts. Long story short, it is so worth it, so make sure you give it a try!
Order 1: Baguette w/ Grilled Chicken, Arugula, Onions, Olives, Chive Mayo, and Balsamic Glaze (Toasted)
The baguette is perfectly soft and warm, with the grilled chicken being marinated with delicious herbs and spices that work so well as the main meat. The chive mayo and balsamic glaze provide the perfect hint of creaminess and sweetness, and the peppery arugula shines with the umami of the olives pair beautifully together, so we give this order an 9.5/10.
Order 2: Baguette w/ Turkey, Provolone, Avocado, Arugula, Tomato, and Chipotle Mayo (Toasted)
The baguette’s warmth in this order stands out with the creaminess of the avocado and melted provo-
lone, and the turkey has a lovely smokiness that complements the sharpness of the arugula perfectly. Tomatoes, though not my favorite, add a lovely freshness to the mix, and the chipotle mayo is a perfect hint of spice that is mellow enough, with a creaminess that pairs well with the avocado. We give this order a 9/10.
Order 3: Baguette w/ Tuna Salad, Lettuce, and Olive Oil (Untoasted)
This order is a classic– a tuna salad sandwich with an extra kick and the crispness of the baguette really shines here. The tuna salad in it, with the oil also adding an extra level of complexity to the order. The tomato adds an acidity and cuts through the denseness of the tuna salad and baguette. Despite
the appearance of simplicity, it is a go-to for an everyday sandwich. All in all, do not be fooled by the plain
appearance of the sandwich, and we give this order an 8/10.
