Rethinking remembrance

By Kyle Chouinard news editor

Content Warning: This story contains mentions of antisemitic language.

Car Shapiro, a member of this year’s Remembrance Scholar cohort, was in the program’s weekly meeting along with the rest of the scholars when they learned about the antisemitic language and swastika found in Bird Library’s archives for Pan Am Flight 103 terrorist attack.

“I was just shocked at first. I mean, unfortunately, I’m not too shocked by hate,” Sha-

community members react to antisemitic language found in

piro said. “I’m just shocked that it had gone unnoticed for so long.”

The letters from twins Jason and Eric Coker sat in the archive for years before the Remembrance Scholars were collectively told about their existence by Syracuse University. Now, Jewish leaders across campus are both grappling with antisemitism and considering how the Remembrance Scholar program can move forward.

Both letters now sit in a brown box in the Pan Am Flight 103/Lockerbie Air Disaster Archives with a note on one of its manilla folders warning that its contents contain antisemitic material.

Students evacuate 206 Walnut due to carbon monoxide

By Luisana Ortiz and Stephanie Wright the daily orange

When Syracuse University sophomore Sam Sambucci woke to the sound of an alarm at around 2 a.m., he initially thought it was someone’s phone going o . Instead, when Sambucci walked out of his room at 206 Walnut Place, he found the noise was coming from the carbon monoxide detector on the third floor.

A hot water heater malfunctioned and triggered the carbon

monoxide monitor’s alarm, a university spokesperson told The Daily Orange. After residents of the building, which SU is using as an overflow housing location this year after over-admitting students for the class of 2026, alerted the Department of Public Safety, they were evacuated to the Haven Hall lobby and eventually relocated to the Sheraton Hotel and Conference Center.

Sambucci and Alex Cheung, an economics student who lives on the building’s third floor, said that one o cer carrying a carbon monoxide

monitor was concerned with its readings before he reached the third floor. O cers then went to rooms to wake up residents and tell them to evacuate, Sambucci said.

Cheung and Sambucci said the residents didn’t bring any belongings aside from their phones because they thought it was the fire alarm that had gone o , and were unsure if they should be concerned about the alarm.

Cheung recalled waiting outside the house for approximately one hour after authorities arrived to

investigate with detection equipment, including a fan. The students then moved to Haven Hall, where they waited for another hour before moving to the Sheraton.

“The second we saw the fan, we were like, ‘we’re definitely not going back,’” Cheung said.

Scalese said some residents chose to stay with friends. Mikey Lupton, a sophomore resident of the building studying engineering and computer science, said he ended up staying with his sister.

“I didn’t go to sleep until 4 at

least, Sam didn’t get to the Sheraton until 5,” Lupton said.

Lupton said he missed his morning class because he was unable to retrieve class materials from his room.

Residents did not receive any communication from the university until Wednesday afternoon. Taylor Gale, the interim residence director of the dorm complex comprising 206 Walnut Ave., Haven, Washington Arms and Walnut Halls, said in an email that students could return

GSO senate pushes for higher stipends

Attend these upcoming events next week

By Katie McClellan asst. news editor

This year marks the 34th anniversary since the terrorist attack on Pan Am Flight 103 killed 35 students returning from studying abroad, along with 224 other passengers and crew on board over Lockerbie, Scotland.

The university honors those who were killed on the flight along with Andrew McClune, who died while attending SU as a Lockerbie Scholar in 2002. This year, the week starts on Sunday, Oct. 16 and will continue until Saturday, Oct. 22. The official schedule will be released on Thursday, Vanessa St.Oegger-Menn, a Pan Am 103 archivist at SU Libraries, said in an email to The Daily Orange.

Since the attack on Dec. 21, 1988, SU has honored the victims every year by presenting the Remem brance Scholarship to 35 seniors who each represent an individual student who died.

The Graduate Student Organiza tion plans to push for increasing the minimum stipend for Syracuse University’s graduate student employees for the coming year,

GSO President Yousr Dhaouadi said during Wednesday’s senate meeting.

The current stipend minimum is $16,485 over a 9-month aca demic year period, which equates to $1,831 a month, Dhaouadi said. The GSO conducted a survey in the spring 2021 semester on Ph.D. student pay where it found the desired minimum is $18,612.

CJ Arnell, a GSO senator, argued that the GSO’s proposed desired minimum is still too low. After excluding Medicare and social security taxes, which gradu ate employees are not required to pay, the minimum stipend for a 9-month period should be at

around $23,000, Arnell said.

Based on the MIT living wage calculator, the required income before taxes for one adult with no children in the city of Syracuse over nine months is $25,528.

“It’s just to make sure that peo ple have enough to live on,” Arnell said. “To ask for anything less is an insult to those that we represent — the graduate employees.”

The GSO Senate should appeal for a larger stipend based on the living wage in Syracuse, instead of comparing to peer institu tions, he said.

Dhaouadi also said there were 43 new fellowships granted this past summer, but the number of fellowships was propped up by one-time COVID-19 relief funding.

The GSO Senate plans to allocate permanent internal funds for such increased fellowships. She added that the GSO Senate is in discussion with both the Graduate School and the provost’s office.

Dhaouadi also announced the graduate housing initiative this year, saying that GSO Senate will implement a virtual tour option for incoming students to view certain housing options before arriving on campus, she said.

The GSO Senate also called for feedback to the university’s honorary degree revocation report. The report was filed by the chancellor’s office after the University Senate passed a resolution calling for the Board of Trustees to rescind Rudy Giuliani’s honorary degree he received from the university’s College of Law in 1989.

The report is currently under review by the executive committee of the Board of Trustees. Students can send comments to Gabe Cole man, SU’s director of project man agement and operations, by Oct. 26.

Other business:

The senate elected five atlarge senators during Wednes

day’s meeting: Roger Rosena, Dominic Wilkins, Partha Sai Preetam Reddy, Komal Sharma and Pulak Jain.

During the meeting, Dhaouadi announced that Richard Kaufman, formerly the chair of Student Asso ciation’s board of elections, now serves as the liaison between SA and the GSO Senate. The GSO Sen ate listed the position in its consti tution but has not filled it until now, she said.

The senate confirmed Vito Mariano Iaia, a graduate student in physics, as the president pro tempore of the GSO senate. He received 41 votes in favor and one vote abstained.

The senate also passed a resolu tion to update its diversity com mittee charge and an amendment to change the committee name to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility committee.

Faculty offers feedback on abroad programs

By Dominic Chiappone Staff Writer

Over 70 Syracuse University students, faculty and staff virtu ally attended the first of two Global Engagement Campus forums Wednesday as part of an effort to get feedback from the university community on SU’s Academic Stra tegic Plan.

The forum was moderated by Erika Wilkens and Michael Speaks, the co-chairs for the Global Engagement Working Group committee. Attendees expressed support for expanding the study

abroad program to new locations, the opportunities study abroad pro vides for students and professors and the financial support provided by SU through Fulbright scholar ships.

Wilkens, SU’s assistant provost and executive director for the uni versity’s study abroad program, said that the purpose of the forum was to hear from SU students, faculty and staff with experiences in study abroad and other global engagement opportunities.

“The University is committed to the value of global engagement as a cross-cutting opportunity

throughout the other key pillar areas that were highlighted (in the Academic Strategic Plan),” Wilkens said.

Speaks, who is also the dean of SU’s School of Architecture, explained the purpose of the Aca demic Strategic Plan.

“The larger umbrella for the strategic planning effort is to really understand our areas of distinc tive excellence at the university, and to speculate five years from now where might we be, how do we enhance those, and how do we address issues and problems in making those more excellent,”

Speaks said.

Some attendees said SU needs to expand its abroad curriculum to make it possible for any student to go abroad.

Cathy Maritan, the academic director of the Syracuse London business education and experience program, specifically said the uni versity needs to expand the abroad program further outside of general electives in the College of Arts and Sciences. Maritan said some degrees in the Whitman School of Manage ment are more difficult to work toward while studying abroad.

This year’s scholars and the 2022-2023 Lockerbie Scholars, two students from Lockerbie Academy representing the 11 peo ple killed when the plane crashed into the town, plan the events held at SU in an effort to “Look Back, Act Forward” in memory of those lost.

The Daily Orange compiled a list of recurring Remembrance Week events that have been held in years past.

Sitting in Solidarity:

During the “Sitting in Solidar ity” ceremony, the Remembrance Scholars sit in chairs set up on Shaw Quadrangle representing where the victims sat on the plane. The schol ars sit in silence with a white rose in their laps for 35 minutes, represent ing the 35 students killed.

Candlelight Vigil:

Remembrance Scholars lead a procession during the Candlelight Vigil from Hendricks Chapel to the Place of Remembrance in front of the Hall of Languages. Attendees are encouraged to light a candle in memory of those who died in the attack, while the Remembrance Scholars share stories of the stu dents they represent.

Celebration of Life:

The Celebration of Life event is an evening of music, poetry, art, danc ing and more to honor the victims of Pan Am Flight 103. The goal is for the current Remembrance and Lockerbie Scholars to celebrate life with the victims’ families.

Rose Laying Ceremony:

At 2:03 p.m. — the exact time Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie — 35 Remembrance and two Lockerbie Scholars will emerge from the Hall of Lan guages, each carrying a rose which they will lay at the Place

In one of the letters, Jason Coker wrote to wish his family a Merry Christmas while he was living abroad in London. The card’s pre-printed message reads “Seasons Greetings.” Under the message, Jason Coker wrote “what’s happened to all those cards that just read ‘Merry Christmas’ – maybe the Israelites burn them all during Chanheka (sic).”

Campus Rabbi Ethan Bair of SU Hillel said the rhetoric is a “classic antisemitism trope.”

“(The trope) has been around for hundreds of thousands of years unfortunately. It sort of hits in the gut, in that way, because it’s so conspirato rial,” Bair said. “It’s ignorant, it’s hateful, it’s unfair.”

Erella Brown Sofer — a languages, literatures and linguistics professor in SU’s Jewish Studies program — agreed with Bair that antisemitism’s conspiratorial nature isn’t new. Sofer said anti semites use conspiracies to discriminate and attack Jewish people.

Prominent figures, including politicians and celebrities, still propel conspiracy theories regarding Jewish people. In 2018, now-Con gresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed that wildfires in California were the result of a “Jewish space laser.” In a now removed tweet,

rapper Kanye West said on Sunday that he would go “death con (sic) 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE.”

Eric Coker wrote the other letter to his mother in 1988, wishing her a happy Mother’s Day on a Bat Mitzvah card, which he refers to in a joking tone throughout his letter. Under the section congratulating the recipient on their Bat Mitzvah, Eric Coker drew a swastika.

“When Jews make jokes, sort of at their own expense. It’s very different than this kind of humor, which is dangerous and violent and hateful,” Bair said.

Bair said over the last few days he has been thinking about the concept of Teshuva, or for giveness, with last week being Yom Kippur, the “Day of Atonement.”

“For me, this news compounds the trag edy of the Coker brothers’ death because they never had the chance to complete their educa tion and to grow and change around some of these views,” Bair said.

Hendricks Chapel Dean Brian Konkol said he’s working through a question Remem brance Scholars are also considering: ‘where do we go from here?’

“It’s a difficult question,” Konkol said. “I believe our campus community is capable of both seeking truth and extending grace. We need not choose between the two. We can

hold them together.”

Konkol said the the Coker twins’ antise mitic writings will impact what Remembrance Week – which starts on Sunday – looks like in the future.

The Remembrance Scholars cohort are weighing the same uncertainties regarding how the program will move forward, Shapiro said.

“Now this raises the question of, ‘Is some one going to represent someone who is anti semitic?’” Shapiro said. “Obviously everyone should be remembered (who died) from this act of terrorism, but we have to take a stand against antisemitism.”Syracuse Hillel Student Union President and SU Senior Sydney Schroeder shared a similar sentiment, saying it’s important to remember each individual victim while not glorifying them. Overall, she said people should remember the victims of Pan Am Flight 103 as fully-rounded individuals.

“Honoring a scholar and having that legacy is a very beautiful thing, but it could be more of a broader remembrance than just the individual,” Schroeder said. “It’s an older program that can be updated with the voices of Jewish students … they should be heard and respected.”

Schroeder emphasized the importance of Jewish people standing up against anti semitism. In 2019, SU students protested

antisemitic, racist and homophobic acts at the university through #NotAgainSU.

Any decision regarding how the program moves forward should ultimately come down to what this year’s Remembrance Scholars feel comfortable doing, Schroeder added.

Shapiro said that he has had less of a say in the response as a Remembrance Scholar than he would have preferred. When the university put out a statement on Tuesday regarding the antisemitic letters, he said the university gave the cohort little notice and had no opportunity to make changes to the letter.

After the university released the state ment, Shapiro felt it was not the voice of the Remembrance Scholars, but the university’s. Shapiro took issue with the university calling the twins’ actions a “mistake.”

“I find the SU statement pretty embarrass ing,” they said. “I don’t want that to be associ ated with how I feel.”

Shapiro continued, saying that members of the cohort will be coming out with a statement of their own.

“We’ve literally been working nonstop since we found out about this to figure out what to do,” he said.

to the house and that the issue had “been resolved.”

“The University has since replaced the hot water heater and confirmed the quality of the air and the efficacy of the carbon monoxide monitors,” Scalese said.

Gale also advised students in the email to reach out to the Barnes Center at The Arch if they were experiencing any symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Sambucci and Lupton both said they felt “terrible” and “lightheaded” when they woke up on Wednesday, but said the symptoms could’ve been from lack of sleep.

“If you are still experiencing symptoms (headache, nausea, etc.) please reach out to the Barnes Center,” Gale said in the

Residents have since been directed to seek medical attention at nearby emer gency rooms at either Crouse or Upstate University hospitals, Sambucci said. He said university communications didn’t give any information on how medical bills would be covered.

Sambucci said he feels “nervous” about sleeping in the house again on Wednesday night and potential future issues with the house’s alarms.

“Did they rush the electrical work in the house and cut corners in order to make sure the house was good?” he said. “That’s kind of my main concern.”

The students don’t realize how amazing the opportunity is to engage with other students and professors as non-citizens.”

Instead of just sending students to SU Abroad Centers, Maritan also said the university should consider integrating on-campus and Center programming.

Many in attendance shared highlights from their experience within SU’s abroad programs.

Beth Ferri, the School of Education’s associate dean for research and a professor of inclusive education and disability studies, said students gain a new perspective when engaging with communities outside of SU’s main campus.

“It’s been great for me and my students to study abroad,” Ferri said. “Teaching in Italy, it’s opened up research opportunities for me.

walnut of Remembrance. Each scholar prepares a few short remarks about the student they represent to share with the gathered crowd, who are then encouraged to leave their own flowers at the Place of Remembrance.

Past Remembrance Scholars often attend the event as a show of support to the current scholars.

Convocation:

Toward the end of Remembrance Week, SU honors the 35 Remembrance Scholars at a Convocation Ceremony in Hendricks Chapel after the Rose Laying Ceremony. The Convo cation includes an introduction by Chancel lor Kent Syverud and a presentation of this year’s Remembrance Scholars.

One of the biggest reasons why SU’s abroad program is so impactful to students is the life long connections made with people living out side the United States, some attendees said.

Jason Feulner, the senior director of devel opment for international advancement at SU, said over 20,000 alumni originated from coun tries outside of the U.S. Feulner said that figure will be steadily increasing in the coming years.

Dessa Bergen-Cico, a professor in the Department of Public Health, discussed the professional opportunities provided for students.

Bergen-Cico coordinates with the Stras bourg, France abroad program as a member of

Falk College. She said the program has connec tions with 25 non-governmental organizations and the Council of Europe, an organization founded in the aftermath of World War II that upholds human rights and democracies in Europe.

“It really is a phenomenal opportunity not just (for) traditional student engage ment, but also looking at professionals across the U.S. that might want to engage in some of our education and advanced train ing,” Bergen-Cico said.

Forum attendees also highlighted the strong standing of Syracuse Abroad, which placed ninth in the U.S. News and World Report rankings.

A working draft of the plan will be finished by Jan. 2023, with feedback provided by SU

students, faculty and staff. SU expects to fully finalize the plan in March 2023. The next Global Engagement Campus forum will take place on Oct. 26.

Associate Director of International Stu dent Success Ling LeBeau said she wants SU to focus on the international students on campus as much as students going abroad.

“We (should) focus on the outward, but we also need to look in at what we have now on-campus,” LeBeau said. “We have a large population of international students, inter national faculty and staff on-campus. Those are our resources. Let’s take advantage of the resources we have here while we continue to explore outward.”

Bandier to the big leagues

By Shantel Guzman asst. digital editor

Charlie Burg had just transferred to Syracuse University’s Setnor School of Music when he first met Andrew Idarraga and Benji Sheinman in 2017. They shared a shift at People’s Place, but, more importantly, a love for music.

Idarraga and Shienman were both freshmen in the Newhouse School’s Band ier Program when they started a management company and were on the hunt for artists to work with. After hearing Burg’s project “One, Violet,” the management duo believed they had found their man, and convinced Burg to work with them.

“They were like, ‘we can help you build your music career, because this music has got a lot of potential’,” Burg said.

5 years later, Burg is about to embark on his first headlining tour — with Idarraga and Sheinman still at his side — as a part of their management company, Dionysian Artist Management. Burg will be making his return to Syracuse on Oct. 15 at the Westcott Theater for his “Infinitely tall Tour.”

Before SU, though, Idarraga and Sheinman were unsure of what path to take. Idarraga said he thought he wanted to be a professional drummer. But throughout his college years, Idarraga realized his passion for managing other artists.

A day in Syracuse: how to spend Family Weekend 2022

By Rachel Raposas culture editor

Between the campus Family Week end events, the city’s vast array of restaurants, seasonal festivals and the vibrant music scene of central New York, it’s impossible to see all of Syra cuse in a single weekend. But through this Saturday itinerary, you can cap ture the essence of the city — all you’ll need is transportation, your loved ones and energy for a packed day.

10:00 a.m.

Syracuse is filled with eclectic res

taurants and coffee shops, including local favorites that have their own distinct character.

If your breakfast calls for caf feine, head to Recess Coffee in Westcott. The shop serves a vari ety of brews and specialty coffees, as well as smoothies, teas, shakes, sandwiches and baked goods.

A closer option is Heritage Cafe, just a few blocks north of campus, which offers classic coffee drinks like mochas and lattes, in addition to light breakfast and lunch dishes.

For those with a bit of a sweet tooth, check out Glazed & Confused,

a shop that offers specialty donuts complete with funky menu names like Black Out and Nutty Buddy, to name a few. If you’re looking for a larger meal to start your day, take a trip to Stella’s Diner, where the dishes range from classic to creative.

12:00 p.m.

Rich with creative culture, Syracuse is home to thousands of pieces of art and embraces artists at all different stages of their careers.

The Everson Museum of Art, for example, is home to multiple shows of paintings, sculptures, installa

tions and ceramics. The museum is currently displaying “Structure/ Dissonance,” an exhibition by mul tidisciplinary artist Raymon Elouza, which deals with the ideas of decay and regeneration of industrial cities.

Another exhibit, “Scenes of Syracuse” by painter Dan Shanahan, takes an intimate look into the moments of serenity of an otherwise busy city.

If you’re looking to stay closer to campus, the Syracuse Univer sity Art Museum also hosts an array of creative works, including “Anni Albers: Work with Materi als,” which follows the develop

ment of the artist’s decades-long career in printmaking, textiles and drawings.

For those looking to take a bit of central New York home with them, the CNY Art Guild is hosting its Fall Fine Art Show and Sale, where there will be stained glass, acrylic paint ings, ceramics, photography and watercolor pieces for purchase.

4:00 p.m.

With the leaves turning vibrant col ors this weekend, embrace autumn with a local fall festival! Located

Beyond a delicious snack, apples can be used to make all kinds of pastries, including cheesecake, fritters and cookies.

Picture this — you just went apple picking at Beak & Skiff and return to find you have picked far too many apples than you can eat before they go bad. Instead of letting the apples go to waste, why not use them in some fall desserts?

Here are three recipes for apple baked goods sure to please a crowd and fill your kitchen with the smells of fall.

Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars

Cheesecake can be an intimidating dessert to make, but this recipe is fairly simple and puts a fall twist on the classic dish.

Preheat your oven to 350 Fahrenheit , and prepare a 9-by-13 inch pan by either spraying it with cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper. Personally, I found that the parchment paper made cutting the bars easier, as you can easily lift them out of the pan.

After lining the pan, cube 12 tablespoons of cold, salted but ter, and add to a bowl with 2 cups of flour and 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, mix until crumbly, and then press into the bottom of the pan. Once in the pan, place in the oven and bake the crumbly base for 15-18 minutes or until lightly browned.

While that bakes, you can start on the cheesecake filling. In a bowl or stand mixer, combine softened cream cheese, eggs, vanilla and granulated sugar and beat until smooth. Note that the cream cheese needs to be very soft so that there are no lumps in the cheesecake batter.

After the cheesecake filling is made, it’s time to add the apples. Peel and finely chop three medium apples and combine them in a bowl with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg and mix until coated. Make sure the apples are chopped very small, like the size of frozen peas or carrots, so that they are small enough to soften in the oven.

Once the crust is out of the oven, pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust, spread out evenly, and sprinkle with the apples. You don’t need to wait for the crust to cool before adding the cream cheese mixture and apples to the pan.

In a separate small bowl, make the streusel topping. Com bine flour, brown sugar, oats and cold butter and mix together until coarse crumbs form, using either a pastry cutter or your hands. Once combined, sprinkle over the apples and cheesecake filling until evenly covered.

Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. It will be ready to pull out when the edges are done and slightly pulled away from the sides of the pan. The middle of the pan should be set and not wiggly.

Remove from the oven when done and place on a cooling rack. Drizzle with caramel sauce and let sit for an hour at room temperature. After an hour, cover the dish and place in the refrigerator for three hours before cutting into bars and serving.

Apple Pie Snickerdoodles

This recipe may be a bit more labor-intensive, but it’s worth it!

First, you’ll make the apple filling, which goes in the middle of the cookies. In a medium bowl, combine four medium sized apples — peeled and finely diced — ¼ cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Once mixed together, set aside until you’re ready to fill the dough.

Preheat the oven to 375 Fahrenheit and prepare three baking sheets with parchment paper. In a bowl or stand mixer, cream butter and sugar together for two to three minutes until light and fluffy. Add in two eggs, one at a time, then add a tablespoon of vanilla extract. Beat until fully mixed.

With the mixer on low or off, add in 2 ¾ cups of flour, a teaspoon of cream of tartar, a teaspoon of baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon of salt and mix until combined. Using a two-tablespoon scoop, scoop out the dough into round balls. Make a well in the cen

ter, place a heaping teaspoon of the apple filling inside. Form the rest of the cookie around the filling and place them on one of the cookie sheets.

In a separate bowl, mix equal parts of cinnamon and sugar together. Roll the balls of dough in the cinnamon mixture and place two inches apart on a baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Once done, immediately remove from the cookie sheet and place on a cooling rack.

Apple Fritter Cake

This recipe is the perfect mix between an apple cake and coffee cake, and can also be easily adapted for a gluten-free version.

Preheat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit , spray a nine-byfive inch loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside. Then in a small bowl, make the cinnamon sugar simply by combining ¼ cup of light brown sugar and two tea spoons of cinnamon and also set aside.

Using a large bowl or stand mixer, cream ½ cup of but ter and ¾ cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in two teaspoons of vanilla extract and add two eggs one at a time, beating each egg until incorpo rated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of flour, a teaspoon bak ing powder, a teaspoon of baking soda and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Add the dry ingredients and ½ cup of buttermilk to the butter mixture alternating between the two and mix at a medium speed. Once incorporated, scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and stir in any unmixed bits.

In another bowl, add roughly two peeled and finely chopped apples with 1 ½ teaspoons of cinnamon and a tablespoon of sugar.

Add half of the batter to the loaf pan and layer with half of the apples. Press the apples down into the bottom layer of batter and sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Add the remaining batter to the pan followed by the rest of the apples and cinnamon-sugar. Using a toothpick or but terknife, swirl the batter together.

Bake for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Mix together powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth. Once the cake is out of the oven and cool, drizzle the glaze over the top. Cut and serve the cake warm or at room temperature.

John Noltner brings photo project to SU

By Leila Frankina contributing writer

With the click of his camera, John Noltner aims to go beyond just taking a picture of someone. He wants to tell their stories and amplify their voices.

“We can talk about heavy, emotional issues in a civil, productive way,” Noltner said. “If we take the time to listen deeply, challenge our own expectations, open ourselves up to new possibilities, and are willing to stay at the table.”

John Noltner, who spent 30 years work ing as a freelance photographer for national magazines, brought his nonprofit, A Peace of My Mind, to Syracuse University this week, where it’s on display in Schine Student Center. He started the project, which uses photographs and stories to encourage people to talk about difficult but meaningful issues, in 2009 and has since made it his main focus.

“I was frustrated with the quality of our national dialogue and all of the things that ask us to look at what separates us,” Noltner said. “I was curious if there was something I could do with my skill set, my photography, and my sto rytelling to remind people what connects us.”

This is Noltner’s second visit to Syracuse, his first back in 2018. Two years ago, Noltner and his wife sold their house in Bloomington, Min

nesota to travel. The two have been living on the road ever since, working on A Peace of My Mind.

The Wisconsin native visits many different colleges, conferences, community centers and places of faith to share his project. In addition to the exhibit in Schine, he also facilitated an interactive studio in Hendricks Chapel.

The project includes images and stories from people Noltner has met in all walks of life — from pig farmers to CEOs to musicians. It also features podcasts, four traveling exhibits, three books, workshops and on-site studios.

“My goal is to make sure everyone is invited to the table, and to make sure that we can see the beauty and wisdom that’s all around us,” Noltner said.

Brian Konkol, the Dean of Hendricks Chapel, invited Noltner to campus to spark discussion about community and inclusivity. The two have previously worked together in programming in Minnesota.

“He is a brave truth-seeker, gentle listener, and innovative storyteller,” Konkol said. “In a world that is filled with both kindness and cruelty, he provides a mirror to witness the world as it is and also a lens to imagine what the world can become.”

Noltner said he hopes his project and pre sentation can help unite the SU campus by showing people how similar they really are.

“People have come at the question from

the direction of (knowing) this wasn’t going to be just a side project,” Sheinman said.

all different directions, and each of the responses by themselves is beautiful,” Noltner said. “But when you weave them together it turns into this lovely fabric of how we understand community.”

Surya Vaidy, a senior at SU, studies pho tography for his minor, helped Noltner set up his photo exhibit and recruited SU com munity members to participate in the inter active studio. He said he greatly admires Noltner’s project and the deep context he adds to photography.

“Sometimes, we are just faces in a crowd to each other, but sometimes we have the grace to meet people who tell us their stories,” Vaidy said. “John is like the middle man who tells you a little bit more about them so they are not just a face on the street.”

Vaidy, who is in his last year at SU, often ponders the importance of community here on campus. He said Noltner’s project helped him recognize that.

“The University always talks about the ‘Orange Community’ but what does that mean?” Vaidy said, “John’s project is one of the multiple ripples that make us more conscious of each other here.”

Surya Vaidy is a staff photographer at the Daily Orange. He does not influence the editorial content of the Culture section.

even really know what managing was. We just knew that it was something that we could do,” Idarraga said. “There’s so many talented people in Syracuse, and then to meet Charlie at the right time … it was honestly very serendipitous.”

After Burg agreed to let Idarraga and Shein man manage him, the three of them continued building Burg’s career throughout college. In the spring semester of their senior year, Burg, Idarraga and Sheinman started negotiating record deals and received offers that allowed them to financially support themselves. These offers made everything seem more real for them, and they realized this was a career they could continue after they graduated.

That spring semester also brought Burg’s first big gig — a Jazz Festival in Jakarta, Indo nesia. It was the middle of midterms season, but Burg, Idarraga and Sheinman got special permission from their professors to miss three days of classes to attend.

“That was the first thing that kicked us in

After graduating from SU in 2019, the three of them moved to Brooklyn, taking both knowledge and connections from Syracuse. The trio have found alumni in most of their professional relationships, Idarraga said.

“There are Syracuse people at Sony (our pub lisher), there are Syracuse people at Fader (our) label, and there are Syracuse people in our agen cy,” Idarraga said. “We really owe it all to ‘Cuse.”

After graduation, Burg booked a tour as the supporting act for Ashe, and the three of them set off, playing 30 shows across the U.S.

Today, Burg has over 2 million monthly listeners on Spotify. His most streamed song, “I Don’t Wanna Be Okay Without You” has over 56 million streams.

Despite his recent success, Burg traces his first inspirations to his childhood, when he began singing and playing guitar and piano.

Growing up in Detroit, MoTown had a big influence on his music style. When he was young, Burg looked up to artists like Al Green, The Temp tations and Marvin Gaye as his biggest influences.

Burg has continued to build his discography since graduating and says that his songs, “Philips Bicycle,” which was the first one he produced himself, and “97 Avalon” are most special to him.

“(‘Philips Bicycle’) is like an early, early blueprint of my style — my production style and my song writing style,” Burg said. “(‘97 Avalon.’) is kind of (an accumulation) of like a bunch of influences, and it just came out in the perfect way to me.”

The support tour with Ashe was just the beginning for Burg, as it led to his upcoming tour, which kicked off in early October. Burg, Idarraga and Sheinman said they owe it all to SU.

“The Syracuse music scene in particular was so special to me,” Burg said. “It was the first time I really felt like I was part of a music community, like an active part of it, and it’ll just always hold such a special place in my heart and I’m really excited to have a show there.”

It’s time to take a critical look at the Remembrance Program

By The Daily Orange Editorial Board

Recently a member of the 2022-23 Remembrance Scholar cohort dis covered that Eric and Jason Coker, who died in the terrorist attack of Pan Am Flight 103 and have been recognized and honored as part of Syracuse University’s Remembrance Scholars Program for 34 years, used antisemitic language in written correspondence with their family in 1988, the same year as the attack. Jason Coker was a student at Syracuse University and a staffer for The Daily Orange and Eric Coker attended Rochester University.

Eric Coker drew a swastika on a Bat Mitz vah card addressed to his mother for mother’s day. In a Christmas card to his family, Jason Coker wrote, “What’s happened to all those cards that just read ‘Merry Christmas’- maybe the Israelites burn them all during Chanheka (sic).” The family of Jason and Eric Coker sent the letters to the collection years ago. While two SU students have represented the twins annually since the attack, it took years to find and acknowledge the hate speech in the Cok ers’ letters.

SU’s statement in response to the recent discovery did not do nearly enough to denounce the magnitude of the hate speech found in the letters. The statement, which read, “They were imperfect people, as we all were, who made mistakes,” fails to recognize what a swastika, and all antisemitism, actually means. The swastika is a symbol that repre sents racism and hatred toward several differ ent cultures. It represents the mass genocide of six million Jewish people.

Drawing a swastika and using blatant anti semitic language was not a “mistake.” It was purposeful. Saying the Coker twins’ actions were “mistakes” is inaccurate and harmful.

The Cokers’ letters are being preserved on campus, in SU’s Special Collections Research Center. Students, especially Remembrance Scholars, deserve to be informed about any hateful speech on campus to its full extent.

Remembrance Scholars may no longer feel comfortable representing two people who were clearly antisemitic. The university should also acknowledge that other students who died on Pan Am Flight 103 could have had hateful biases of their own, and that Remembrance Scholars, especially those from marginalized communities, may feel uncom fortable representing students who they know very little about.

The Remembrance program also fails to fully address the islamaphobic reaction to the Pan Am Flight 103 incident. Following the explosion, media outlets and law enforcement immediately put suspicion on Khalid Naziir Jafaar, a 21-year-old Muslim student and

passenger who died in the attack. The public harassed Khalid’s family, making them grieve the death of their son while the country called them terrorists.

The Remembrance Scholar Program’s mis sion is to “look back and act forward,” but it’s stuck in the past. It should remember the 270 passengers that passed away on the Pan Am flight rather than focus on 34 students who not everyone can personally connect with.

These antisemitic letters have been sitting in the SU archives for a long time, and would have remained there if someone didn’t find them. This is unacceptable. History can not be hidden and SU has a responsibility to the students to be transparent about the past.

The Daily Orange also has a complicated history, and has often been a source of harm on SU’s campus. Jason Coker’s actions contrib ute to that past. We condemn these actions, and acknowledge that we can never change them. But we will continue to tell important and inclusive stories and serve as a voice for all members of the university as well as the greater city of Syracuse.

DISCLAIMER: Emily Steinberger, Cori Dill, Ofentse Mokoka and Mira Berenbaum are members of the Remembrance Scholars pro gram as well as past and present staffers of The Daily Orange. They attended the editorial board meeting to inform and advise the staff on the program.

Performative cultural celebrations need to be put to rest

By Angie Mederos guest columnist

As we enter the middle of October, those of us who are meant to be celebrated during Hispanic Heritage Month are beginning to feel a sense of relief. We are finally approaching the end of Syracuse University’s month-long performative repre sentation of its diverse student population. This, of course, will only last until the next minority’s month, when they will also be pub licly commended for their cultural, social and economic contributions.

There is no denying that this is a cycle created by a continuous theme of inclusion politics utilized on behalf of SU to establish

itself as a liberal and inclusive institution. The university uses diversity to distance itself from its complicity in the subjugation of stu dents of color on campus and in the surround ing community.

If the university is not actually interested in creating an inclusive and equitable environ ment on campus, then why allocate funds to celebrating these culturally themed months?

I think the answer lies behind what SU has to gain by celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month. When we celebrate “Hispanics” or “Latinos” with no critical analysis of how these terms came to be applied to diverse groups of people, we are simply enabling the further marginalization of these groups.

Mainstream media portrays the default His

panic or Latine person as light skin mestizos, such as JLo or Bad Bunny. Latinidad will be celebrated by institutions as long as it deviates far enough from Indigeneity and Blackness.

The term Hispanic is within itself reminis cent of Latinidad’s connections to Spanish col onization. Latinos are primarily identified by their place of origin and their language. I find two issues with this. The first is that Latines have been classified as a group in mainstream social contexts according to a common Euro pean ancestry. The second is that Spanish is the only language associated with Latinidad.

We are very aware that “Hispanic/Latino” is not a race and therefore Latines can fall under any racial category and under multiple ethnic categories. We also understand that

Spanish is a language of colonization and that Latinidad has enabled it to undermine the Indigenous languages of many families with Inca, Maya, Aztec or Taino ancestors.

So the question then becomes: Do we stop celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month? I think that those of us who identify as non-Indigenous or Black Latines have to be aware of the space we take up, especially when our social position alities enable us to hold a privilege that can very well be complicit in silencing others.

SU students need to understand who ben efits from the socially constructed identities they often feel so comfortable inhabiting and must continue to be critical of whose voices are not being represented.

Through 4 meets, SU cross country is a top-ranked program

By Brooks Herb staff writer

After the men’s and women’s sides lost their top runners from last season, Syracuse cross country has found its way to becoming a top-ranked program. Currently, the men sit at No. 9 and the women at No. 15 in the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association poll.

Through four meets, the Orange have shown out both regionally and nationally. Both sides won the first two meets of the year against regional competition in the Harry Lang Invitational and Penn State’s Harry Gro ves Spiked Shoe Invitational.

National success came from the Coast to Coast Battle in Beantown, where the men finished seventh while the women finished sixth. A day later, the Orange placed with the

tently cracked the top-20 in the rankings and occasionally got in the top-10. Still, it struggled to sustain the level of play since recruiting play ers to central New York was a “challenge,” Mor ris said.

“The recruiting battles weren’t easy, but we were in them always,” Morris said. “While we did find some success was the fact that we found good players, (Hankinson) gave usop portunities to compete on a level playing field and to hopefully have some success.”

Hankinson recruited a variety of players from several different regions, including the Caribbean and Canada. He wanted to create a sense of personality and style within the team.

On Jan. 13, 1987, Hankinson was informed that Dornau wouldn’t receive another year of eligibility. Dornau had barely played in his fresh man season three years earlier, under then-head coach Alden Shattuck. So Hankinson pushed to get Dornau another year of eligibility, and though the attempt was unsuccessful, it showed how Hankinson would’ve “done anything” for his players.

Dornau said Hankinson had a more “tactical” style. Hankinson could “tear apart the oppo

Swart never forgot about playing for the field hockey team, and neither did Bradley. In the 2019-20 season, Bradley talked to then-junior Swart about playing senior year. But with COVID-19 giving Swart an extra year of eligibility, Bradley told her to continue lacrosse.

While Swart earned All-American honors in 2021 and finished with 185 career points, she always told her SU teammates about her intention to play field hockey. Meaghan Tyr rell said in practice, Swart used her lacrosse stick like a field hockey stick.

“She’d always be like, ‘Yeah, I’m playing field hockey next year. Yeah, I’m playing field hockey next year.’ We’re like, ‘OK Sam, whatever,’” Tyrrell said. “And then it actually happened and she was being really serious about it.”

After confirmation from the NCAA Com pliance Office, Swart had the chance to play field hockey at SU, and announced the news on Instagram in June. The field hockey team received confirmation of Swart’s opportu

top teams in the country as the men’s squad finished eighth while the women finished sixth in the Cowboy Jamboree at Oklahoma State.

Redshirt sophomore Savannah Roark placed first among Orange women at the Cow boy Jamboree with a ninth-place finish, and began her season with a first overall finish at Penn State. Despite being an underclassmen, Roark has been forced to take a leading role as one of the team’s and nation’s top finishers.

“I was a little surprised to finish ninth, but also not surprised to see my work paying off,” Roark said.

Roark said all summer, she and her team mates went to Colorado and trained, building cohesion amongst the runners finally transla ting at the Cowboy Jamboree.

“We had a good culture last year, but this year I feel like we’re just such a unit, and we can feel that at practice,” Roark said.

nent” and always had a gameplan ready. He uti lized the 4-4-2 formation with a sweeper, trying to get on the front foot. Dornau said Hankinson allowed him to do overlapping runs on the out side to get up in the attack.

In a game against UConn in the Dome, Dor nau used the tactic to get open with 30 seconds left in the game. He launched a shot from 35 yards out, scoring one of his two career goals.

“I always found (Tim) to be very caring,” Morris said. “He cared about his players (and) it generally showed up in how our teams were built.”

At the age of 5, Hankinson began playing soccer at St. David’s School in New York City. He played in high school at the Storm King School, a boarding school in Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York, where he was co-captain his senior year in 1973.

“He didn’t seem to take himself too seri ously. And he was really dedicated to excelling in sports,” said David Hartcorn, Hankinson’s co-captain at Storm King in 1973.

In his first meeting with Hankinson, Hart corn noticed his short hair cut compared to everyone else’s long, “really bad” hair.

“The whole hippie thing was going,” Hart corn said. “Tim was one of the few guys in the school that had short hair. He (was going to)

nity and Quirine Comans described it as an “honor” because of Swart’s history with SU.

Initially, Swart didn’t want to play field hockey or lacrosse. Before first grade, Swart wanted to follow her older sister, Gabrielle, and become a gymnast. Since Gabrielle trained at a national center in Texas, Swart made that her dream. But one day Swart told her mother that she wanted to change course.

“She didn’t want to have people demand her life and make her do things every day, repetitively, over and over and over again,” Mary said. “And I said, ‘Why don’t you try field hockey and lacrosse?’ and she did.”

Mary said the constant movement in both sports appealed to the “free-spirited” Swart. Once she started both sports at Archbishop Carroll, Swart showed her ability to become a “big ball of energy,” said Lorraine Beers, her former lacrosse coach.

Christina Elisio, who was Swart’s field coach at Archbishop Caroll, equated Swart to the Energizer Bunny. Swart played the entire 60 minutes as a midfielder, and never seemed tired. Before lacrosse practices, Beers noticed how Swart drank a Mountain Dew among other snacks.

Despite her miscue, Joubert wasn’t fazed.

She stayed in and helped Syracuse score five of the last seven points to secure the win.

“At that moment. I’m literally talking to the TV, saying take a deep breath. Calm down. [You’re] okay…What’s the best thing

The improvement in team chemistry has also been evident on the men’s side, which has started to run with more cohesion.

“As a team we’re really good at staying in a pack and running with each other,” Nathan Henderson said. “That’s some thing that we’ve been working on and helps movement through the pack during the race. Staying in the pack also helps morale. When you’re in the middle of it and you’re running with teammates, it makes it so much easier.”

Henderson has similarly been faced with the new challenge of being one of the team’s top runners in his sixth year at SU. Despite the bigger role, Henderson has shown up for the task with an early first place victory at Harry Groves Spiked Shoe Invitational. He also finis hed 41st at the Cowboy Jamboree. The biggest improvement he has noticed about his own

mature well beyond the rest of us.”

In Hankinson’s two varsity seasons, Storm King won both of its league championships, defeating its “hated” rival New York Military Academy in both finals.

After graduating from Storm King, Hartcorn and Hankinson decided to become “squat ters,” not packing up and heading home from the boarding school. Nobody knew they were there, and eventually through a connection with a friend’s father, the pair got a job at a local felt factory in Newburgh, New York.

Following high school, Hankinson played col legiately at South Carolina from 1973-76. As a player-coach, he earned his United States Soccer Federation C and B Licenses, which kickstarted his coaching career since there wasn’t a profes sional league for him to play in.

He first coached at Oglethorpe in 1979, advancing the program to the NAIA Dis trict Finals. Then after coaching Alabama A&M to two top-three finishes in the NCAA Tournament, he coached DePaul in 1982 in its inaugural season.

After Syracuse, Hankinson coached in sev eral locations domestically in the United States and internationally as well, even earning the head coaching job with the Colorado Rapids in the MLS. He finished his coaching career with

like that, she’d have all kinds of candy, the worst diet in the world, and just kind of inhale it in front of everybody,” Beers said. “(Other players) couldn’t do that because then they’ll get sick after the run. But Sammy could.”

At SU, Megan Carney and Tyrrell were amazed and confused that Swart could eat a Starbucks brownie or a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and then run for miles.

Similarly in field hockey, Swart went the full 60 minutes without ever having to come out.

While Swart’s stick skill improved at SU, Beers said that Swart’s natural lefthandedness helped her blow by a lot of high school defenders.

Beers said Swart’s vision and speed only got better after she went to Syracuse. Carney and Tyrrell noted how she was the fastest player on the team while also bringing a lively energy to practices.

After Syracuse women’s lacrosse lost Swart’s final game to Northwestern in the NCAA quarterfinals, Tyrrell and Carney were sad Swart wouldn’t be on the team anymore. But they still see Swart constantly. Even this week, Tyrrell saw Swart looking for stick tape.

“At the end of my lacrosse season, that was when I just was like, ‘I’m not done here at

In Syracuse’s loss against Notre Dame, UND’s Paris Thompson prepared to spike a ball set by Phyona Shrader. Joubert read the play, sliding over towards the sideline before copying Thompson’s motion.

Joubert’s ability to snuff out opposing teams attacks has been a part of her game

running is his confidence shift.

“I’ve been more confident in the way I’ve been racing. I don’t get as anxious before races and don’t get as caught up during things like big packs and everything. I just try to stay focused,” Henderson said.

SU head coach Brien Bell noticed a differen ce in attitude among the men’s and women’s sides as a key factor for the upcoming season. Bell said this group of runners have been much more positive. The Orange return to action Friday Oct. 14 at the Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational as they seek to close out their successful regular season before the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship.

But in October 2020, doctors noticed that Hankinson had a high cholesterol number. Later tests revealed that he had several cancer ous tumors that originated from his esophagus, spreading to his stomach and liver.

“He would have definitely continued to coach if he had the strength,” Yvette said.

Still, Hankinson did color commentary for San Antonio Football Club, the local USL Cham pionship club where the family is now settled. He did until June 2022, when he couldn’t speak anymore.

In 2021, Hankinson published two children’s books, The Adventures of Plato and The Adven tures of Plato: Road Trip. The former teaches lessons from soccer to help 6-12-year olds to become better players and teammates, and the latter reinforces the soccer lessons while visiting a U.S National Team game.

“(Tim) was just an unbelievable motivator,” Dornau said. “Every single game and every time we were in the dressing room, no matter who we were playing (or) how much better they were than us, it didn’t matter. He just said ‘look, we just play our game.’”

Syracuse,’” Swart said.

During field hockey games, Comans will see Swart’s enthusiasm on the bench. Comans said one of Swart’s biggest strengths as a field hockey midfielder is that she can put pressure on the ball and the opposing goalie. Bradley said Swart will create off-ball movement and “havoc” when opponents generate defensive pressure.

Swart will block out the goalie in the circle so she can create spaces for shots, an ability Comans and her teammates said came from lacrosse. Mary said Division I lacrosse created more endurance and arm strength for Swart.

In the Orange’s game against Vermont, Swart applied this box-out play to add to their lead. During an offensive transition, Joy Haar man rifled a shot from outside the circle that Comans deflected. The ball passed the Cata mounts’ keeper, who quickly turned to get a glove on it.

But Swart reached the ball first, col liding with the keeper. Swart fell to the turf only after she sent a pass parallel to the goal line for Suus Heijnekamp to score Syracuse’s fourth goal.

Joubert makes instant impact

Ariana Joubert went out of her comfort zone entering her senior year of high school. She transferred from Chicago inner city’s De La Salle to Montini Catholic, a small private school in the suburbs 45 minutes away from downtown.

“Trust me, as a parent I was terrified. But the overall transition to Montini was great.” said Allan, Joubert’s father.

When Tim Hankinson was hired in 1985, current players were concerned about having to compete for their starting positions, former left back Ron Dornau said. But to ease the tension, Hankinson constantly “goofed o ” with assistant Godwin Iwelumo.

The duo implemented unique drills that other teams weren’t doing at the time, Dornau said. The team would throw the ball instead of using their feet. In another drill, players tied each other up with rope to show how everyone should advance in certain formations.

“He was very passionate about the game,” former forward Steve Morris said. “Very passionate about developing teams and developing players.”

On Sept. 22, 2022, Hankinson died after a battle with stage four adenocarcinoma, an aggressive form of lung cancer. He coached Syracuse from 1985-1990, helping it to its second-ever Big East title in 1985. Hankinson finished with a 69-40-18 record, though 33 of his wins were stripped away due to NCAA violations. Prior to Syracuse, he coached at Oglethorpe, Alabama A&M and DePaul, then moved on to coach several professional clubs in the United States,

Sweden, Jamaica, Guatemala and India following his time with the Orange.

Hankinson developed several letter-winners including Morris, goalkeeper Chris Whitcomb and Dornau. Morris’ 50 points in 1989 is the program’s single season record while Whitcomb is SU’s all-time saves leader with 408.

“Tim always gave me the opportunity to shine in areas of the field that I knew I could be successful in,” Morris said. “(He) supported me and supported players to play with personality and flair.”

Morris had successful junior and senior years in high school, which allowed him to get a few o ers. Hankinson, who previously coached at DePaul in the Chicago area, was one of the first coaches to contact Morris around the end of his senior year.

Aside from his di erent drills, Hankinson ingrained discipline within the team, especially with fitness. He’d make the team run one side of the field, jog another, then run two sides, jog one, until they ran around the entire field. He also had them do aerobics in Manley Field House.

“None of my other friends who were playing for other Division-I teams did any of that stu ,” Dornau said. “From a fitness standpoint, it was unbelievable what we had to do then.”

After just one season in charge, Hankison led Syracuse to its second-ever Big East Championship after a 1-0 win over UConn. In 1986, the Orange finished with a 16-5-2 record, going on two winning streaks of four-plus games. But eventually, they fell in the Big East Championship to Seton Hall and missed the NCAA Tournament.

Hankinson told The Daily Orange in 1986 that he “expected” an at-large bid to the tournament. The 16 wins are the second-most in a single season in program history.

Morris said that every year he was there, Syracuse consis

Sam Swart joins SU field hockey in her final year

By Henry O’Brien asst. sports editor

Before Sam Swart played against Stanford last week in field hockey, she asked her mother, Mary, to bring up her lacrosse sticks and lacrosse balls to the game.

While Swart has played 13 field hockey games, she’ll join the U.S. women’s national

lacrosse team too. On Oct. 15, Swart will take part in the Fall Classic, where the Americans will face defending NCAA champion North Carolina. A day earlier, she’ll play against the Tar Heels in field hockey.

Swart is used to balancing sports. She played three — field hockey, basketball and lacrosse — throughout the school year at

Archbishop Carroll High School (Pennsylvania). Despite latching on to Syracuse lacrosse in eighth grade, she always wanted to play field hockey in college. After a fi ve-year All-American lacrosse career, Swart is playing for SU’s field hockey team in her fi nal year.

When Swart arrived in Syracuse, she had the impression that she could play for then-head

lacrosse coach Gary Gait and for head field hockey coach Ange Bradley, who coached Swart for USA’s U19 national team. But when Swart started practicing with the lacrosse team in the fall, she feared she wouldn’t start in the spring. Swart stuck to lacrosse, taking part in fall ball. She made nine starts freshman

Changing scenery was nothing new for Joubert. A few years prior, she begged her parents to let her switch travel teams to one that would push her more. She switched from First Alliance to Chicago Elite, a club where she had played since starting the sport.

“In this particular case, she knew the level of volleyball that I’m playing right now is fine, but it’s not going to get me to where I ultimately want to go,” Allan said.

At First Alliance, Joubert built a relationship with Patricia Samolinski, her 16U coach who later became the head coach at Montini Catholic. Joubert helped the Broncos to a school-record 40 wins as a senior, recording 159 kills and 51 blocks en route to an Illinois 2A state championship.

Despite being a true freshman, Joubert’s competitiveness has allowed her to make an instant impact on the floor for Syracuse this season. She’s been a rotational piece for the Orange, but as the season has progressed, she’s increased her role by appearing in each of SU’s 24 sets during Atlantic Coast Conference play.

As one of two true freshmen on the team, she’s learned quickly what it takes to be successful. The fast paced play was “a good challenge,” but has been “an enjoyable experience.”

“Her work ethic is really good and she’s very coachable,” head coach Bakeer Ganesharatnam said. “She’s like a sponge because she wants to get better. There’s a lot of technical aspects we need to improve on, but she’s getting better every day.”

When Joubert joined First Alliance, she knew there was room for improvement, which she accomplished by traveling nationally to play top players.

Right before the pandemic, First Alliance defeated the No. 1 club team in the country, Academy Volleyball Cleveland.

The victory symbolized why Joubert wanted to switch to First Alliance. She wanted to face adversity and learn what it was like to respond when things aren’t going well.

Against Wake Forest, Syracuse came back to force a tiebreaker after losing the first two sets. With a 9-7
