President Delivers Annual Summary

After her announcement, Pollack covered Cornell’s achievements in the last year. She noted Cornell’s development at the college level, celebrating the one-year anniversary of the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the two-year anniversary of the Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science. In addition to Cornell’s on-campus growth, Pollack also recognized the University’s expansion in New York City, citing Cornell Tech, the Cardiovascular AI Institute and the Multicollege Department of Design Tech as Cornell’s budding programs in the city.

University President Martha Pollack delivered her annual address to staff on Monday afternoon, highlighting Cornell’s recent accomplishments and expressing gratitude towards staff. The meeting was well-attended by Cornell staff and faculty, both in person and over Zoom. Pollack began by reiterating an announcement she made at last week’s Employee Assembly meeting — that the University will provide in-year bonuses to all full and part-time staff members with salaries up to $100,000. The bonuses, issued in response to higher living expenses due to inflation, will be distributed on a sliding scale based on income. Crowd members were excited to hear of this program, applauding exuberantly.

2022 Wrapped | President Pollack speaks at the annual address to the University's staff, summarizing past year's achievements.

Students browsed Cornell’s offering of student organizations and explored their future possibilities last Sunday at ClubFest in Barton Hall. Now in its 19th year, ClubFest featured over 400 student clubs, Cornell-affiliated programs and pre-professional organizations. Clubs handed out quarter-cards and other advertising materials, chatted with prospective new members and distributed candy to passersby. The event repeated last year’s scheduling, breaking the expo into two sessions. Preprofessional clubs and fraternities, media and publication organizations, sustainability clubs and University-sponsored programs such as Cornell in Washington, headlined the first session. The second half included entities such as performing arts groups, club sports, food organizations, identity-based affinity groups and community services. Students found the experience fruitful and valuable through finding new communities, while faculty and staff stressed the importance of finding community.

“Cornell is a big school, and it’s hard to find people even within your own major, and sometimes [finding people in your major] doesn’t even matter in terms of interests outside academics,” said Michelle Sánchez-Patino ’25. “I feel like ClubFest is a good way to see what’s out here at Cornell because sometimes the school can be so big that you don’t even know what’s happening.” Not only did ClubFest give students ways to find, rekindle or continue pursuing their passions, but it also provided a way for them to find groups where they can make memories. Ricky Boche, assistant director of campus activities, stressed ClubFest’s importance for finding communities where students can fit in.

Russia, Magierowski drew comparisons between the Cold War-era SovietAmerican relations and the modern day.

Magierowski embarked on an extensive career in international politics by obtaining a position within the Polish government. Magierowski then served as undersecretary of state at Poland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ambassador to Israel until 2021, when Magierowski became Polish Ambassador to the United States. Julia Pienkowska ’23, organizer of the event and member of the Society of Polish Students, stated that she found the lecture informative. “He took a pragmatic approach, elaborating on Putin's wartime failures but recognizing that Russia is a powerful country that is not easy to beat,” Pienkowska said. Magierowski began his lecture by describing the legacy shared by Poland and Ukraine. Both countries served as a former constituent to the defunct Eastern Bloc, as Ukraine is a former Soviet republic and Poland was a Soviet satellite. According to Magierowski, this shared history brought the countries into an amicable alliance against Russia. When

“Securing the Ivy League title is really important to us just to stay consistent, show all the other Ivies that we are the best,” Arujau said. “It’s nice to finish the season on an up. It’ll help us build a little momentum going into the postseason, into EIWAs and then ultimately NCAAs.” With less than a month until the EIWA championships, the team is in the stretch run of its schedule. The Red is back in action next weekend as they take on Binghamton on Friday, Feb. 10 at 7 p.m. at James T. Valvano Arena. Nate Krackeler can be reached at njk74@cornell.edu.

Diakhomihalis took on No. 12 Doug Zapf in a contest that started out very close before the Red pulled away, ultimately prevailing 8-3. Diakhomihalis walked off the mat for the last time at Friedman to a standing ovation from a near sellout crowd.

“Our crowd is one of the most energetic and enthusiastic crowds out there in the wrestling community... I think it’s really tough to be an away team in the Friedman.”

No. 5 wrestling (11-2, 5-0 EIWA) headed into its final games of conference play with a goal in mind: its 42nd Ivy League championship. With matchups against Princeton (3-9, 1-3 EIWA) and No. 25 Penn (6-5, 5-1 EIWA), it controlled its own destiny. After two wins, it would secure the title. With history on the line, the Red stepped up, sweeping the weekend to secure its 42nd Ivy League championship.

Diakhomihalis will look to take home his fourth NCAA championship next month, which would tie Kyle Dake’s ’13 record. The energy from the fans proved to be crucial as the Red channeled that enthusiasm to rally and secure a league title. After falling behind 9-6 heading into halftime, a tightly contested decision win by Ramirez tied the match before Cornell started to take over. An explosive pin by No. 4 sophomore Chris Foca at 174 netted the Red six points and sent the arena into a frenzy.

“Our crowd is one of the most energetic and enthusiastic crowds out there in the wrestling community,” Arujau said. “I think it’s really tough to be an away team in the Friedman.”

As fans funneled in, lining up for commorative bobbleheads, three time national champion Diakomihalis prepared for his final meet in front of a home crowd at the Friedman wrestling center.

After a decision win by Penn, No. 14 junior

The Red kicked off its dual against the Tigers with a bang, as sophomore No. 9 Julian Ramirez took down the undefeated No. 3 Quincy Monday, 10-6, at 165 pounds to start off what turned into an easy win for Cornell. A pin by senior Brendan Furman and technical falls by No. 3 junior Vito Arujau at 133 and No. 1 senior Yianni Diakhomihalis at 149 propelled the Red to a dominant 32-7 win. This victory meant that Sunday’s dual versus Penn was for the Ivy League title, but the meet carried additional significance. As fans funneled in, lining up for commemorative bobbleheads, three time national champion Diakhomihalis prepared for his final meet in front of a home crowd at the Friedman wrestling center. Following two Penn victories by decision and a dominant win by Arujau, Cornell trailed 6-3 and was in need of a victory.

Moustafa said. “I try to get them to think about what they know and how they can use it in a sentence. mostly just ask people very basic questions and have them think through how they would answer the question in their language.”

Hours find the dialogues helpful, whether they are learners trying to improve their speaking skills or native or heritage speakers trying to practice their language.

“I like having group conversations in Spanish because it diversifies the conversation topics and allows me to learn from other students learning the language. I also try to ask the facilitator to correct me if make errors, which helps me improve” said Lia Sokol ’23, a Spanish minor and a heritage Russian speaker.

Hours, the type of conversation is different because there are generally more native speakers that attend.”

Moustafa shares a similar sentiment, stating that her Conversation Hours with native or heritage speakers developed more advanced goals. “Last semester, my students were all native speakers, and we were all able to communicate using a more advanced vocabulary,” Moustafa said. “We focused more on differences in dialect, which we don’t really do with beginners and intermediates.”

Conversation Hours allow students to converse with multiple speakers, some students believe they could benefit from one-on-one dialogues.

Although

“While appreciate the group conversations, I think one-onone meetings would also be helpful because they would allow for more individualized instruction and more directed language practice,” Sokol said.

The Language Resource Center published its full schedule for their Conversation Hours initiative last week. The initiative offers weekly conversation sessions in 28 different languages and provides a space for students to practice their language skills, including multiple levels for higher languages in higher demand —Spanish, Mandarin and French. Over 45 volunteer facilitators, including students, faculty, staff and members of the public, provide these services to the Cornell and greater Ithaca communities. Wilson Kan ’26 discovered the opportunity to facilitate the Cantonese Conversation Hours when he met Emma Britton, coordinator

Language Learning Initiatives at Cornell Language Resource Center, at a freshman event during orientation week. “Emma asked me if spoke any languages, and I told her I speak Mandarin and Cantonese,” Kan said. “She invited me to facilitate the Cantonese Conversation Hour, and of thought it was a good opportunity to practice my Cantonese and make friends, so I got on board.” Conversation hours facilitators lead conversations to groups of students who attend their weekly meetings. “Last semester, we would usually have three or four people come in during our weekly Conversation hours in the evening, and it’d just be a normal conversation. We would talk about how classes are going, for example,” said Pedro PontesGarcía ’26, a facilitator for the beginner Spanish level. “Now that we have changed our weekly time to the afternoon, we have seven or eight people attending one section. We often play games like Pictionary to get everyone involved and have fun.”

“I felt like it was important to [shed] light on what they stand for, so that the community understands what they are spending their dollars on at the commons.” Similarly, Stewart’s early memories of the Twelve Tribes were negative. “They casually strew pamphlets and brochures around the café that laid out their beliefs in the coming end times, or other such concepts,” Stewart said. “They were never overt in their more disturbing opinions and it is my own belief that this was deliberate, as a means of getting outsiders interested before explaining the more unsavory beliefs, much like other cults.”

“It is also my understanding that generally most Ithacans are at least somewhat aware that the Twelve Tribes is a religious cult and thus the appeal [of the Yellow Deli] would be more to university students, visitors and tourists who are only here temporarily,” said Ian Stewart ’23, student who has lived in Ithaca for 31 years. When the group arrived in Ithaca in 2003, they held an open forum to address concerns about their presence, but twenty years later, the group still remains. “Choosing to go commercial on the Commons is basically an unannounced front for a cult,” said Pastor Steve Felker of Christ Chapel in Ithaca to The Sun in 2006.

However, Ithaca is not unique in its distaste for the Twelve Tribes, who have also attracted controversy from localities across the United States for their views and labor practices. In an investigation, the University of Colorado Boulder’s newspaper the CU Independent found accusations of child abuse after interviewing former members of the organization. A publicly accessible copy of the Twelve Tribes’ “Child Training Manual” specifically encourages parents to use physical dominance to assert dominance over their children in various ways. It is unclear whether or not this document applies to the Ithaca branch of the Twelve Tribes. According to the manual, “a child needs to learn that his disobedience results in receiving his parents’ disapproval. The parents’ controlled use of pain is not cruel and will not cause the child to fear his parents personally. He will only learn to respect their word and the authority they possess … The minor discomfort a child must experience in order to learn to obey his parents’ commands will save him much pain in the future.”

The Yellow Deli, operated by the Twelve Tribes community, opened in the Commons on Jan. 1 at the same location as their previous establishment, Maté Factor. According to their website, the Twelve Tribes, also known as the Commonwealth of Israel, are a religious group where families and individuals live together in communities. They have a worldwide presence, scattered throughout every continent except Africa. Founded by Gene Spriggs in 1972 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the Twelve Tribes encourages members to live as adherents to the early church, emphasizing its communal aspect — the Denver Post reported in 2022 that new members must sign over ownership of all of their possessions to the group’s limited liability companies. The Ithaca branch has been present for about 20 years, according to Marcel Campbell, a worker at the Yellow Deli and a lifelong member of the Twelve Tribes. As the branch is located on 119 Third Street, their presence has attracted negative attention from the Ithaca community for years.

Discusses Ukraine

Ambassador

Magierowski said that Poland also wishes to shift its image from being a net recipient of security to a net provider of security for European powers. He used the country’s reliance on American military manufacturing as an example, stating that Poland is attempting to become self-reliant due to worries that they will not keep up with the war’s rapid pace. Despite making acknowledgements that Ukraine may very well lose the war and keep a realistic outlook on its outcome due to Russia’s nuclear arsenal, Magierowski nonetheless held out hope that the Ukrainians could pull off an unlikely victory.

“When I’m talking about the vestiges of the Soviet mentality in today’s Russia, blatant disregard for human life and for human dignity, especially in the times of war, for Mr. Putin, human life is irrelevant,” Magierowski said.

“That’s why I’m not terribly optimistic about the course of this war, because I believe President Putin can still flood Ukraine with men and cannon fodders, because again, their treatment of human life.”

To conclude his lecture, Magierowski addressed concerns that Russia would use nuclear weapons against Ukraine or a Western country.

“For [Russia], diplomacy is a zero-sum game, someone has to win in order for someone else to be crushed, to be irreversibly and painfully defeated.” Marek Magierowski

So, I thought that taking a health leave was honestly kind of dumb.After publishing my column on being honest with a counselor, where detailed what happens after you ask for help when you want to end your life, was on an upward swing. What failed to understand was that I was, in fact, dying, just on the inside. A month later, all hell broke loose again. still wanted to die. I had another episode, ending up back in the same psych ward. By this point, I realized that this is how my life will be. I’ll work hard, struggle, have a couple psych ward visits, and repeat. T e hospital felt like a safe environment, and that’s what needed. had nine visits to the ER for mental health last semester. I fell into this cycle of having episodes, calling for help, ending up in the ER, feeling safe in the annex rooms, calming myself down and ending up getting discharged rather than admitted. All this was going on, I was struggling to attend classes, and still believed a health leave was not ideal. Looking back, that’s insane. I really needed help, and needed more than just crisis management. People in my life started floating around the term “residential,” and needless to say, it sounded terrifying. My psychiatrist in the psych ward seconded that, diagnosing me with borderline personality disorder (on top of everything I already had) during my final visit. Looking at my medical records was scary. My “problem list” was rather lengthy at this point: ADHD, major depressive disorder, BPD, anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia and PTSD. T at doesn’t even include some of my physical health conditions. I was still trying to be a full time student, work as an RA and have an o ffi ce job, have a social life, keep this column and maintain my dining editor duties for T e Sun. thrive o ff of stress, but this was getting to the point where everything was overbearing. Having a therapy session every week and seeing a psychiatrist two times a month suddenly wasn’t it anymore.

I was weighing the pros and cons of taking a health leave, and it essentially boiled down to these factors: If I took a health leave, could take time to go to residential, get the help I need, learn how to manage my conditions, possibly preventing future suicide attempts. However, taking a health leave required paperwork, meant I had to quit both of my jobs, possibly graduate a semester later than I planned. I needed money to help with the logistics of traveling, find somewhere for my car, to plan the logistics of flying with a cat and a fish, try to get into a residential facility, not be able to run for an editor position again for the next Sun editorial board, put my social life on hold, and navigate the murky waters of transferring prescriptions between states when there’s a billion laws. As you can tell, the list of cons was lengthy, but the few things on the pro list were powerful enough to outweigh the cons. It took a trusted adult to tell me, “if you choose to not get help, I cannot support that decision, and I’m saying this out of love.” initially fought this person, but then I came to my senses. I decided in November that I was going to take a health leave. Here’s how the process works: after deciding you want to take a health leave, or even if you’re still deciding and you just want to find out more about it (which at this point, that’s where I was at), you can go to Cornell Chatter and in the same way you book meetings with your advising dean, you can book an appointment with the Heath Leaves Coordinator. Obviously, taking a health leave is di ff erent... To read more visit Cornellsun.com

A lot has happened since I’ve last published a column. With that being said, there’s no place to gather the utmost inspiration to write like residential. You’re in an environment where you’re focusing on how to get better, rather than a competitive environment. I have a list of topics to tackle with my columns this semester; as is, my perspective on almost everything is evolving, and want to continue to use my platform to educate myself and send messages to the Cornell student body and greater community. For this column, I want to focus on something I feared the most: Taking a health leave of absence. Cornell students should not be afraid of taking a health leave for mental health, no matter what time of the semester it is. Students’ health will be better in the long run, especially for any mental health condition that is not acute (lasts a short period of time). T e only way to help chronic mental health conditions, especially those that are interfering with school and when outpatient treatment alone isn’t enough, is to be bold and vulnerable. Advocating for yourself is key. When a trusted adult in my life mentioned taking a health leave, I hated the idea. It felt like I was failing myself; I’m smart enough to get into Cornell, the last thing I wanted was to waste time, money and resources just because was struggling. I told myself “everyone struggles, don’t need to take a health leave. I don’t need major surgery, I’m not dying.”

Trigger warning: this piece contains discussion of suicidal ideation, depression and other mental health conditions.

I ’m not writing this column in my Ithaca dorm room, unfortunately. As a matter of fact, I’m not even enrolled in Spring classes at the moment. I’m writing this column in a time crunch because have limited computer access where 90 percent of what’s on Google is blocked and my usual computer time is consumed by endless health appointments.

that the United States’ perception of Russia’s military power is still nebulous, despite the abundance of information on the war. He spoke to Gen. James Mattis, who served as the secretary of defense under President Donald Trump (R-Fla.), and learned that the West had once overestimated Putin’s military prowess. However, following numerous Russian failures leading to a stalemate in Ukraine, Magierowski expects that intelligence agencies are now beginning to underestimate Russian power. Despite Putin’s relentless political attacks on Ukraine, Magierowski pointed out how these attacks have repeatedly backfired. He stated that rather than diminishing the Ukrainian identity, Putin’s actions have caused the West to become more aware of Ukraine and its cultural identity. NATO membership has also expanded, with Sweden and Finland applying for official membership. Magierowski returned to the topic of Polish-Ukrainian relations, highlighting the crucial role that Poland has held for assisting Ukrainian refugees. The population of Poland has increased from roughly 38 million to roughly 40 million due to the influx of Ukrainian and Russian refugees, and more than 200,000 Ukrainian children have been integrated into the school system. Magierowski attributed the Ukrainians’ easy assimilation into Polish society to cultural and linguistic similarities.

“For [Russia], diplomacy is a zero-sum game, someone has to win in order for someone else to be crushed, to be irreversibly and painfully defeated,” Magierowski said. “This is something we heard in the ’60s. And this is something we heard in the ’70s, in the ’80s, on the eve of the Soviet Union’s collapse and what we can hear, even today — still a zero-sum game.” Magierowski stated that not much has changed in contemporary Russia in comparison with the late Soviet Union, as diplomatic hostility towards the United States and the West in general continued even after the USSR’s fall in 1991. According to Magierowski, Russia’s zero-sum foreign policy has been proven by international law violations at the war’s front lines, including Putin’s indiscriminate bombings of Ukrainian civilians and the mistreatment of human bodies using mobile crematoriums.

Feel the Bern

There comes a time in almost every high school-to college-aged kid’s life where they stop playing organized sports. For some, it’s a moment of relief. You never really wanted to play soccer anyway, you only really did it because you weren’t half-bad and you knew your teammates and parents would be a little disappointed if you quit. Besides, it looked good on the college app. Maybe you were done after freshman year of high school because you worked up the courage to say no, this isn’t for me. Or maybe you enjoyed your time playing your sport, but you were just ready. It’d been a long season, and it was bittersweet to be done, but it was right. For others, it’s a moment of pain. You broke your ankle playing pick-up basketball and from the sideline blew a somber kiss goodbye to your senior baseball or softball season. Or you lost a big game — maybe even a playo ff game — you could have sworn you should have won. You walked away from your respective field, court, track, rink, dock, pool or piste speechless, trying to keep your chin up because that’s what you’re supposed to do. Or you cried with your teammates in the locker room after your final game or match, whatever the outcome was — you might not even remember. It’d be easy to write this column with the main takeaway being that the athlete in you never really dies. You are always moving, you are always needing exercise, and your body is always athletic. No matter when you finish playing your sport, varsity, junior varsity, club, whatever level you achieved, you are always an athlete. T e competition transforms from a blank-faced opponent like your high school or college rival into a previous version of yourself, and the game you play against this opponent is some form of physical or mental training as opposed to lacrosse. I believe this to be mostly true. I don’t always think that athletics and exercise need to be competitive, even in a bettering-of-self sort of way, but I recognize and appreciate how we are always athletes on an individual basis. I find it, however, that what’s more fascinating than the idea of how we continue to be athletic beyond the end of each of our respective athletic careers is what happens in the moment those careers die. What changes inside of us? At this turning point, I think there’s a necessary point of introspection. You evaluate your own motivations, goals, skills picked up along the way, how good of a teammate you are and how much fun you have and are able to have. Here’s an example. I often find myself thinking about how a journeyman back-up who plays at the professional level deals with internal evaluation at the end of their career. T ey were a top recruit out of high school, a superstar at the collegiate level and then made their promise to be the best there ever was. T en, they got to the pros and by all means stunk. When they retire, how do they look back? How do they suppress regret and instead find pride in what fans and pundits might call a failure? Maybe more importantly, how do they look forward? How do they learn from their success and mistakes to move on and be better? It wasn’t until finished my senior year playing Sprint Football this past fall that I began to realize how broadly these questions apply. Not just to the back-up, but to the superstar and the role player. To me, my teammates, my peers and anyone who has ever played a sport at any organized level. I spent 13 years playing football, and it’s pretty unlikely that will ever have to kick slide into a pass set again in my life. It’s a skill I’ve practiced so much that I do it in my dreams, just gone. What I will have to do, however, is learn how to harness the energy and e ff ort that I’ve put into niche skills for my sport and apply them elsewhere. T e same goes for the devotion towards being a good teammate, committing to personal growth, attaining specific goals and having fun playing a game love. Now, have to figure out how to redirect that devotion. I think this applies for anyone who has ever played a sport, and think athletics in particular are powerful for this reason — whether or not you even enjoyed the game you played, or regardless of how hard you think you tried — they require so much of us, and then they just end. Time runs out on the game clock, the final out is caught, the sun sets and it’s over. T e journeyman back-up sleeps well at night knowing that their athletic career, despite its appearance of triviality, has been profound. Our careers, regardless of how passionate or successful, have too been profound. May their deaths only bolster their legacies.
