2022 Ibis Yearbook

OUR FAVORITE BIRD Central to all campus spirit is Sebastian the Ibis, the university’s mascot. Folklore maintains that the Ibis is the last sign of wildlife to take shelter before a hurricane and the first to reappear after the storm. The local marsh bird was considered UM’s first unofficial mascot when the school yearbook adopted the name “Ibis” in 1926. Today, Sebastian can be found at all football games smoking out the student section Photo by Jared Lennon

BEGINNING the

Hurricane pride is at the heart of the University of Miami. Tailgates, spirit week, Sebastian the Ibis, football games and fight songs are some of the many ways ‘Canes show their love for the university. Tradition is a big part of the ‘Cane culture. For this reason, every student that enters the university attends orientation before the start of classes. Here, they meet lifelong friends and learn what it truly means to be a Miami Hurricane.

CHAPTER new

Being a ‘Cane means belonging to something bigger than just a university. The word ‘Hurricane’ means pride, accomplishment and family. Since opening its doors in 1925, UM has served as an outlet for every student that steps foot on its campus, harnessing their individual talents and desires. Being a part of such a strong community of individuals means that the future is bright for both past, present and future students.

The collapse of the condo took 98 lives, a devastating loss to the community. Both rescuers and volunteers tried to save as many people as they could, but too many people were buried in the rubble. After the collapse, an investigation was launched to determine what caused the collapse of this enormous concrete building. It was uncovered that there were structural issues within the building dating back all the way to 1990. Some of these issues were not addressed in a timely manner, and were not addressed during inspection, which could have contributed to the collapse.

While students worked jobs, applied for internships and got ahead in summer classes, newsworthy events took place all over the world. Public health innovation, tragic deaths, calls for change and political news kept headlines rolling this summer

A BUSYsummer break

Students spend their lengthy summer traveling, finding jobs and acquiring internships for academic experience

After spending so much time at home over the course of this past year, students did not hesitate to jump at opportunities to travel and reconnect with friends this past summer. Many looked forward to being able to safely explore travel destinations and have the full tourist experience.

Sophomore Jake Newiger, majoring in Music Business, was able to travel with friends for the first time since the start of the pandemic. “I stayed in my uncle’s apartment in Manhattan with my friends and we visited a bunch of tourist attractions. We went to Central Park, Rockefeller Center and a Jimmy Fallon live taping. It was a very fun trip,” he said. Similarly, other students decided that it was the best time to see some friends and have new experiences as traveling became more common.

Vivianne Martell, a junior majoring in Journalism, flew to California to visit her roommate and see what her life away from Miami was like. “We hiked to the Hollywood sign together and I got to meet all her friends from home. It was definitely the best part of my summer,” Martell said.

THE SUN fun in

University of Miami students take full advantage of spending time in the beautiful Florida sun

Miami is a multi-faceted destination, from the Downtown Brickell area, to Wynwood, and its numerous beaches, there were activities that pleased both tourists and locals alike. The area was known for its Art Deco charm, high-end shopping and wild nightlife, but the city’s number one draw was its beaches. Whether your beach goal was to relax and catch a tan, play a game of catch with friends, take nice pictures or go for water sports, there was a perfect spot for you.

South Beach is popularly known for its fl shy cars, eccentric artists, skateboarders, and colossal cocktails. The white sand beaches are understandably the busiest and most touristy.

Crandon Park served as a beautiful escape for tired students to recharge, and was the perfect time to spend with friends or family. Junior Carly Payne is used to waking up early to catch the sunrise at the beach, “The best time of the day to go to the beach is definitely sunrise, specifically at Key Biscayne. The water is crystal clear in the mornings for snorkeling,” she said. While there were many places to spend your free time on and off campus, most students found that nothing could beat a relaxing beach day. Whether it was a full-day event or a quick trip to get a tan, students will always have the memories of enjoying one of the many beautiful Miami beaches.

WELCOME hurricanes

Story by Jennifer Kowalczyk Design by Carolina Camus

And they’re back! After many students spent last year online, the University’s campus is largely full again as the vast majority returned to or began taking in-person classes in the fall semester. With COVID-19 precautions in place, students and their families spent move-in week schlepping suitcases, stocking up on supplies and hugging good-bye to begin the school year apart from each other.

Once again, the rattle of luggage carts and ding of elevator doors served as the soundtrack to many students’ first days on campus. For over two thousand incoming students, this move-in marked the beginning of their college experience. After checking in at the Watsco Center, freshmen students along with friends and family found their way to dorms like Hecht, Stanford, Mahoney and Pearson to unpack.

Here, students would meet their new roommates, floormates and residential assistants and staff. Residential areas like Eaton Residental College, Lakeside Village and the University Village welcomed thousands of returning students as well.

To some, this move-in felt extra special.“It was a surreal experience,” said senior Ishaan Shah. Like many students, Shah returned to campus this semester after being remote for the majority of the previous year. Returning to campus, Shah said, “felt like coming back to a second home, seeing all of my friends that I hadn’t seen in almost two years.”

There were many freshmen joining campus that had a completely unique experience than the class before them. Considering all the precautions that they had to take for the orientation the year prior, everyone was ready to be back and better than ever, but that didn’t mean they could go back to how it was before.

The orientation staff guided incoming students through ‘Cane Kickoff and welcomed them to different departments, colleges, student organizations and each other. There were many students that helped with orientation, and having one that involved more in-person was very exciting for them. “This was actually my first year as an orientation fellow, which was exciting,” says senior Austin Lent. “I know last year everything was fully remote, so it was great that we could have mostly in-person events,” Lent said. They hosted a record-breaking 2,800 accepted students.

It is rumored that the widely disliked freshman dorms will be replaced by a $260 million dollar housing village, similar to UM’s new Lakeside Village that was opened to students and the community in 2020.

FUTURE toward the

A handful of construction projects could be seen rising across campus this year, set to open their doors soon. One is the Frost Institute for Chemistry and Molecular Science building across from Dooly Memorial.

“As a premed student, it seems like this building will give me opportunities to collaborate with other students and get involved in interdisciplinary research with the faculty,” freshmen Erika Del Valle said. According to The Miami Hurricane, the $60 million project is the first of “multiple planned interdisciplinary research centers under the Frost Institutes for Science and Engineering,” funded by Phillip and Patricia Frost, namesakes of UM’s Frost School of Music.

Foundation work for the Knight Recital Hall, which is part of this school, began this school year as well. The space will include new performance spaces, a green room, ancillary spaces, storage rooms, rehearsal rooms, a state-of-the-art sound recording control booth and an ensemble hall.

Both buildings, according to the university’s and architect’s website, will be designed to achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver standards.

With advances in technology and thinking, new ground is broken to house continued student learning

A NEW MODERN MUSICAL SPACE Planned to open in the fall of 2022, foundational construction begins for the Frost School of Music’s new Knight Recital Hall located on the edge of Osceola Lake and built to hold a 200-seat ensemble hall, a black box theater, offices, classrooms and more.

The newest addition to campus living has taken the campus by storm during its second year in action. Admired by many, Lakeside Village won the prestigious International Architectural awards and continues to impress those students and spectators alike.

With so many amenities, everyone on campus utilizes Lakeside. A campus hot-spot, students can enjoy Lakeside’s food options overlooking Lake Osceola in between their classes. Among those is Daybreak, which offers students delicious breakfast foods regardless of the time. Freshman Madison Coll raves about Daybreak, saying, “They have great gluten-free options and a very positive atmosphere. I always get their mango avocado toast!!” Always bustling with activity, people visit Lakeside to visit the UPS store orthe many outdoor courtyards, which are perfect for studying. At night, students use the sand volleyball courts, participating in pickup games.

While Lakeside has so many amenities, the real highlight is the suites. With just over 334 units and 1100 beds, Lakeside is the single most popular option on everyone’s housing applications. Sophomore Abby Gendell says, “The apartments are so spacious, and there is a ton of storage for all of your belongings. I also love the terraces on the second level, and I’m always sitting out there with my friends.”

Orange and green clothes. Screaming crowds. Sebastian the Ibis. With the first football season to operate at full capacity in two years, there was a surplus of students and fans tailgating.

Students would gather with groups of friends or student organizations outside the Hard Rock Stadium hours before football games to spend time together and to get their energy up before each game.

Senior Danielle Tenberg shared that whether students were dancing to their favorite songs or participating in chants to support the team, water was essential to

be safe. “My number one rule: hydrate so you don’t dehydrate,” she said.

One of the most obvious, yet most necessary essentials was wearing orange, green and different school spirit clothing items to represent the football team. Whether that was a jersey, crop top, face stickers, beaded necklaces or other accessories, sophomore Ellen Otterbach discussed how important UM spirit and clothing was. “Wearing spirit wear is essential and one of the best places to get UM apparel for tailgating is the bookstore on campus or UThrift,” Otterbach said.

HISTORY SAYS

WHAT?!

The Wynwood area was originally sub-divided and sold by a couple of early Miamians: Josiah Chaille and Hugh Anderson.

Wynwood has long been referred to as Little San Juan, because many Puerto Ricans immigrated to this Miami neighborhood from the island in the 1950s.

For some years, the neighborhood has been gentrified with large invesment and a rising cost of living has pushed many locals out.

THE RAT is back

A trip to the Rathskeller and its events is an essential part of the full UM student experience

Story by Maud Joannet Design by Mia Rivas

The Rat was a campus landmark and completely studentowned and operated restaurant that served students for many years. As a popular hang-out spot on-campus that was known for its food, beverages and various events, it announced that it would reopen its doors after closing for nearly two years due to strict COVID-19 regulations.

To bring back the social environment at the Rat, the employees planned an array of events to celebrate the reopening. For the first day open again, they offered an all-day event called “Stuff a Plush” where students and staff stuffed plush animals as a creation of Build-A-Bear. Additional events included DJ Thursdays, where students could come to enjoy music from fellow students, Hurricane sports watch parties, live bands, trivia and more.

Older students noted the differences on-campus during the period it was closed down compared to when it was open. Senior Paulina Stein discussed these differences and how the Rat affected her and her peer’s experiences as college students. “It finally feels like the school is back to its old self, The Rat is an important place for students to gather and celebrate their successes together. As a 22-year-old, I can now have a drink with my friends after class and gather in a joyful setting,” she said.

Despite having to shut down for over a year and opening back up with COVID-19 precautions still in place, both the staff members and students brought back the festivities that came with The Rat.

With the bustling lives of college students and the year-long summer weather in South Florida, many people on campus took advantage of the Herbert Wellness Center to nurture their physical and emotional well-being.

At the Herbert Wellness Center, students could enjoy a workout class from their favorite instructor with a group of friends at any time during the day. From aquatic exercises, guts and butts workouts, vinyasa flow yoga or HIIT classes, there were many options for even the busiest students. Freshman Carina Steininger was a student that went to the Wellness Center often. “I appreciate how it offers different workout classes like yoga and spinning. Overall it’s very modern and they have good equipment. It helps me to de-stress and regain focus and I have noticed that I

sleep better after working out,” she said.

In addition to fitness classes, students had access to a variety of mental health resources. From group therapy sessions to individual appointments and even couples counseling, counselors were available to discuss any personal or academic problems face-to-face with students. For those who didn’t feel comfortable with in-person therapy, there was online help to navigate through the self-help therapy app WellTrack. WellTrack featured a wellness assessment and tools to manage anxiety, depression and other mental illnesses. To help students prioritize their physical and mental well-being, the Herbert Wellness Center, and the university in general, offered many resources for students to either work individually or with professionals.

While going to the market is seen as an opportunity to enjoy your favorite foods, that is not the only thing that people love about it. For those that want to expand their pallets and try new types of food, the market is the perfect place for them to go. As the stands with food from many different cuisines are lined next to each other, students are presented with all of the food they hoped to try that represented the diverse culture on campus.

Browsing through the food is something that members of campus look forward to each week, and it never failed. Whether customers wanted to fulfill a craving or try something new, everyone knew they would leave feeling satisfied from the Wednesday market.

From fresh fruit and smoothies made directly in front of you, Greek delicacies, and poke bowls, many students were overwhelmed with excitement to share their favorite parts of market Wednesdays.

With a wide variety of food options available, many students and staff members felt that the best part of market Wednesdays was that they had something for everyone and every food craving. Samuel Nuñez, a freshman, shared what he looked forward to each week. “I really appreciate that they have a diverse group of options of food and drinks, so whether I want Korean food or a poke bowl, they almost always have it,” he said.

Lakeside Patio is the place to be to enjoy musical performances featuring student artists

Story by Shea Halpenny Design by Mia Rivas

With many students that were either a part of the Frost School of Music, a musical student organization or were passionate about music themselves, Patio Jams provided an opportunity for students to express themselves through this music and to entertain the bustling campus throughout the day.

Student musicians were able to perform covers of songs and, for some, even their unreleased original songs. These performances helped new musicians make their name and music known on-campus and amongst the student body. Freshman Jasmine Ortiz had the opportunity to play at one of the first Patio Jam sessions of the fall semester. “My performance was the highlight of my month. I loved playing some of my original music for a crowd of excited people. It made me more excited to finally release it,” she said.

For students and faculty that came to campus each week, Patio Jams was a notable part of their experience. With every performance held at the center of campus, freshman Deitrick Knatt discussed what listening to Patio Jams meant to him. “The sessions are a really good way for aspiring students who have passion for music. It’s a very pleasant thing to walk down the breezeway and hear good music. They make it lively during market days or just bring energy to campus all the time.”

Whether you were a spectator or performer, Patio Jams were one of the pronounced experiences that happened every week by and for students to lift their spirits.

An off campus band called REMYZ visits the UC Patio on March 23 to perform their original music live to students after their evening classes.

Story by Maria Rojas Design by Carolina Camus

One of UM’s trademark spots, The Rock, hosted a variety of events for students to meet new people and get more involved. These events were hosted by student organizations catering to the university’s diverse student population all while giving out free gifts to students.

Some of the most popular events at The Rock were hosted by groups in Greek life. Freshman Camila Escobar especially enjoyed the events through Phi Delta Epsilon, the university’s pre-medical, co-ed fraternity. Escobar commented on their “Stand for the Kids” event in support of Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, “I loved all the different activities they had to offer, like pie a phi, the raffles and giveaways of essential oils.”

The Rock also held events during Hispanic Heritage Month when clubs like The Federación de Estudiantes Cubanos (FEC) and PorColombia scouted students of all backgrounds, gave away food, and showcased their country’s music and traditions. Freshman Angelisa Fernandez recalled ,“It was nice to see my country being represented by other students and to meet people from different countries and states that were interested in the club too.”

The Rock provided an opportunity for students to integrate themselves further into the campus community through the hard work of organizations that otherwise they may not interact with, not limited to Greek life, cultural and ethnic groups, community outreach organizations, and religious groups.

One of the many delights on campus is the Jerry Herman Ring Theatre, a fully functioning theater operated by the Theatre Arts Department. Named after the musical theatre composer and UM alumni, Jerry Herman, the Ring Theatre employed an entire technical staff that introduced students into industry quality production.

Throughout the fall semester, “The Frogs”, “Godspell” and “Into the Woods” were held in the theatre, which was a thrill for many people on campus. Whether you were a spectator, performer or crew member, everyone was able to participate in the joy that they found came with the production of each and every show. For Caleb Polsky, a senior and member of the Theatre Arts Department, he couldn’t help but gleam about watching the performance of “Into the Woods”. “This cast did a marvelous job, providing a campy and joyous show,” he said.

Many students also found that the joy-filled atmosphere went beyond attending performances, but being a performer at the Jerry Herman Ring Theatre provided some of the best memories and most beneficial experiences. Polsky, who played George Bernard Shaw in their fall performance of “The Frogs”, commented on this. “I was lucky enough to play Shaw and I could not have been prouder to work alongside the tenacious students, staff and faculty,” he said.

Whether you were a person that was only able to enjoy the Ring Theatre for one performance, or you were a theatre student that spent countless hours there, many people felt that the experience was unforgettable.

LIVING DEAD

With the safety guideline in mind, students were spend their Halloween partaking in various event both on and off campus

Story by Maud Joannet Design by Mia Rivas

As COVID-19 cases started slowing down, the traditional celebrations during Halloween made its way back to the area. With so many different ways to enjoy the holiday, students took advantage of the opportunities to celebrate in the way that sounded the best for them.

There was an array of activities both on and off campus, so students found what piqued their interest the most. In downtown Miami, events such as Club Space’s three-day Hocus Pocus Halloween weekend, the Wicked Wharf and Bodega in Euphoria took place throughout Halloween weekend. On campus, student organizations kept the Halloween spirit alive with events like Canes Night Live’s Halloween town, UBS, Halloween Thump and the Rocky Horror Picture Show events.

While there were many events to

partake in in the area, there were some that students felt were worth traveling for. In Key West, there were many festivities on Duval Street, which were known for being iconic. As more people traveled to Fantasy Fest compared to before, some of the largest celebrations were canceled. The festival was still met with large crowds, so much so that it changed the way they operated. Key West City Manager Patti McLaughlin shared, “We’ve closed the street earlier than we have in the past.”

Halloween weekend was about spending time with friends and having a good time for the holiday, which is exactly what everyone did. Whether students traveled far, went downtown or even stayed on campus to celebrate, they found that the festivities were never a disappointment.

THE WEEK UPopening

Homecoming made its return after a year of no celebrations due to the COVID-19 pandemic

Story by Amrutha Chethikattil Design by Marcela Lynch

With dance performances, celebrations, and snacks, the Monday morning homecoming opening ceremony undeniably brought the beat back. Not only did the energy during the ceremony get everyone excited for what was yet to come, but it also set the trend for the whole week of festivities.

The Hurricane Homecoming Committee (HEC) started homecoming week off with a bang. They began on-site preparations early and were proud to watch as students partook in the activities. UCheer and Sunsations dance teams performed at the Lakeside stage. Students also enjoyed an appearance from Sebastian, a balloon artist, video games, bracelet making, and an array of food options. As campus transformed and spirit was undeniably ever present, students had their first opportunity to show off their love for the university and the communities they built.

Members of the committee knew that they had to make it the best they possibly could, as it was the first year without any precautions in a long time. Ishaan Shah, HEC member, described the experience, “After two years of being at home, we were pressured to bring Homecoming back. It was stressful getting everything setup, but the payoff was unreal. I saw everyone get swept up, along with us, in the excitement. ”While most Mondays tended to drag on a little too long, planners of homecoming week knew that the first day had to truly make moves. From the various events, entertainment and food, there was something for every person on campus and it truly kicked off the week.

ROYALTY has arrived

Story by Amrutha Chethikattil Design by Carolina Camus

During the first evening of homecoming week, students went to-to-toe competing for the coveted positions of campus royalty. As they walked the runway, they were bolstered by the pride from the organizations they represented, as well as support from the other students and staff that attended.

For many students, even those that weren’t up for court, the crowning of king and queen was their favorite part of the weeklong festivities. The ceremony began with performances from each candidate, and ended with the royalty being anounced. Participant Senior Bao Duong discussed why this was his favorite event. “My favorite homecoming event is the King and Queen Pageant. I love how everyone put themselves out there to compete and it was great seeing organizations cheer on their representatives and org members.”

While all the students enjoyed that evening, it was especially special for the crowned king and queen. Senior Ari Mubanda, the Homecoming Queen, shared how the experience touched her. “Sharing that moment with everyone around me, especially my mom, dad and grandma, was so special. I created beautiful memories alongside my royal court and the Homecoming Executive Committee. We laughed, cried, danced, and bonded with fellow canes,” she said.

While the Homecoming King and Queen Pageant was only the first night of homecoming week, it was the perfect event to kick off homecoming and participants were proud to cheer on their fellow students their organizations on stage.

FOR A WEEK fun events

From food trucks to fireworks, Homecoming week is full of very different events for current and past ‘Canes to enjoy on campus

Story by Amrutha Chekthani Design by Marcela Lynch

Homecoming featured a week full of events that allowed students to show their pride for their university through a myriad of ways. The Homecoming Executive Committee coordinated these efforts through creativity and hard work, and it was the best time of the semester for most students and alumni.

While the large events were beloved by many, there were a lot of students that loved to participate in the smaller events during their free time. Some highlights included Pancakes with Pat, Donuts with Duerk, Spirit Tree competition, Trivia Tuesday at the Rat and an organized cheer competition on the Lakeside patio.

The Butler Center for Service and Leadership also led a service-based event, Hurricanes Help the Hometown, where students supported different Community Partners. Providing service to the community was an essential part of celebrating Homecoming. Meera Patel, a senior on the Homecoming Executive Committee, helped plan the event. “I was one of the committee chairs for Hurricanes Help the Hometown and I love seeing that people are able to experience homecoming and embrace the ‘Cane spirit.” Patel’s favorite part of homecoming came from expressing her love for her university through singing a familiar tune. “My favorite activity is singing the alma mater loud and proud next to my closest friends.”

Every day, there was a new activity to partake in, food to try or fellow students to meet at the Homecoming Committee’s carefully planned events. Homecoming week was surely a vibrant, energetic week for all who participated.

THANK YOU

As the fall semester comes to a close, students travel near and far to return home to family and friends

Story by Molly MacKenzie Design by Elyse Roscoe & Giselle Spicer

With the semester ending and finals just around the corner, Thanksgiving break was a time for students to relax with family and friends, and recharge before returning to campus. However, Thanksgiving was much different than the previous year, as many students were able to reunite and spend time with loved ones.

With a large number of out-ofstate and international students, many people traveled to spend the holiday away from campus.

Sophomore Katerina Lomis traveled to visit family. “My family visited my brother in South Carolina because he couldn’t make it back home due to work circumstances,” she said.

Similarly, Sophomore Carla Puliti, saw her brother in Washington, D.C. as he flew back from London. “It was the best part of my break and I used most of my time to hang out with him,” said Puliti. While many students left, some local students stayed in Miami to be with family, and others made it their newfound home by celebrating Thanksgiving nearby with friends. Junior Gemellaro, who worked for the football team, spent the holiday with other people a part of the team that also couldn’t make it home.

“We had to fl y out that Friday to play Duke so I couldn’t go home this year, but I got to relax and watch football with friends,” he said.

University of Miami students take advantage of every chance to experience the world around them. On week long breaks, many students find themselves traveling to different states, and even some to other countries to experience the different cultures the world has to offer. By doing so, we strive to be more culturally aware ‘Canes.

winter break

Students chose to spend their winter and holiday break doing what they thought was the best use of their time

Story by Molly MacKenzie Design by Elyse Roscoe

Everyone has a unique definition as to what a productive break looked like with some taking classes, participating in internships or working. However, after a long semester of diligent work, other students found that a productive break was one that focused on doing things that sparked joy. Taking personal time with loved ones was important for many ‘Canes. Sophomore Simone Lantier enjoyed the break in her hometown, “I spent time with my family and hung out with friends at each other’s homes. I also celebrated the holidays with my family, which I always love.” Senior Nicolas Alvarez spent his time similarly as he flew to Guatemala City, “My family and I went to our beach house and the mountains, we ate good food, and enjoyed each other’s company.”

Some students did a little of both, taking advantage of the extra free time between family events to get ahead academically. Alvarez comments on this dynamic, “Online classes were difficult because I was home with a three hour time difference from Miami so the hours were hard, but my friends at home were also taking classes so it was like a shared online college experience.”

The student body had diverse interests and needs creating equally diverse winter break experiences.

CULTURE embracing

Black, Asian, and Hispanic cultures are highlighted through events and celebrations during the year

Story by Allegra Garcia Design Giselle Spicer

Several opportunities for students to become more involved with the school and the community were provided. In particular, were cultural organizations, where students could join, make friends and learn about the different cultures present in their own life and on campus.

United Black Students (UBS), an organization dedicated to exposing all members of the community to the facets of African American culture, was very active by hosting discussions about racial injustice in America, challenging food insecurity in black communities and implementing many initiatives during Black History Month.

The Asian American Students Association (AASA), an organization promoting the awareness of Asian culture and the Asian American identity, welcomed many new members. Junior Mintra Putlek, a new member, was extremely grateful for her involvement in AASA. “It has changed my entire experience on campus,” said Putlek. She further explained, “It helped me gain perspective about my own identity as an Asian-American and validated experiences that I previously felt were isolating.”

Some Hispanic students expressed feelings of gratitude and inclusion as a result of joining organizations like the Alliance of Latin American Students (ALAS) and the Federaci n de Estudiantes Cubanos (FEC). Freshman Maui Candela stated, “Being in FEC has rekindled the connection between myself and the Cuban culture I’m a part of. Until FEC, I didn’t really have a true appreciation for my roots.”

Whether you identified with one of these cultures, or some combination of them, there were student organizations with the intention to provide a safe space to learn about each culture.

RISING from the ashes

The annual event hosted by SpectrUM raises money for the LGBTQ+ community amid glitter, elaborate costumes, dancing and song

Story by Shea Halpenny Design by Mia Rivas

The DragOut event, hosted by student organization SpectrUM, brought the art of drag to campus, allowing members of the LGBTQ communities and allies to express themselves. Famous drag queens, kings and students put on drag and performed in typical drag fashion: with lip-syncing to songs and overthe-top dancing. The stage was set up in the Shalala ballroom for performances and fundraising for both SpectcrUM and SAGE, a non-profit organization that supported elderly people in the LGBTQ community.

Participants and organizers of the event spoke about the intent of holding DragOut. Sam Hinds, a sophomore and the Secretary for SpectrUM, said DragOut “helps educate students, but also let’s queer students know that they’re not alone and helps them find a sense of community.” Hinds, along with the rest of SpectrUM, provided students with the opportunity to explore their sexuality and identity, helping them build bonds with other queer students.

The DragOut event was intended to create a safe space for queer and non-queer students to express themselves with colorful outfits, artful makeup and styled wigs. Sophomore David Caldarella, drag name Mary Poppers, also spoke about his experience as a performer at the event. “DragOut is a showcase of talent, a spot for all sorts of performers to share their skills in front of a supportive audience,” he said. DragOut was known as an event full of self-expression for performers, a facet of entertainment for peers and an opportunity to raise money for charities.

AWAY FOR the week

Traveling,

school during their spring break

Story by Shea Halpenny Design by Giselle Spicer

Following the first half of the semester and midterms, most students start to look forward to some time off school. Spring break gave students a full week off from classes and work to do whatever they want. Ailis Clifford, a sophomore at UM, looked forward to spring break weeks in advance. “It felt like forever that I was working on homework and studying for exams,” Clifford said. “I booked an Airbnb weeks in advance looking forward to the time off school. The beginning of the semester always seems to drag.” Due to the time off school, Clifford was even able to have her boyfriend come to Miami to visit. “It was great to have the week to see my boyfriend and spend some time with him without the pressure of school.”

Some students even decided to take a break outside of Miami. While some students used the time off school to visit family back in their home cities, others choose to vacation abroad. Taylor Overy is a freshman at UM that traveled overseas to Greece during the break. “I love traveling and exploring new places, and spring break is a great time to do that,” Overy said. “I get to discover something new and take a break from all the stress.”

SEA OF KNOWLEDGE

The OAW Club hosts a successful ocean awareness week this year by spreading awareness, holding daily events, and raising money in order to help save the ocean and the wildlife living in it

Story by Addison Becker Design by Mia Rivas

With many students passionate about the safety and health of the oceans, different students and student organizations came together to host Ocean Awareness Week each year. At the end of March, Ocean Awareness week officially commenced and it was packed with various events and activities to better inform the student body of these issues.

The celebrations started with a showing of ‘Shark Tales’ held at the UC pool, followed by a night at the Rathskeller with an ocean-animal plushies giveaway. A marine, environmental conservation and atmospheric career fair was also hosted virtually with EcoSwell, NOAA, RSMAS and others to help students network themselves with future employers. They also held an OAW fair at the Foote Greene with carnival games and food trucks. The final event was the beach cleanup held at

Crandon Park hosted by OAW in coordination with Debris Free Oceans. A combination of these events raised over $2,400 for the Ocean Conservancy nonprofit organization.

Other clubs and organizations also worked in conjunction with Ocean Awareness week, as well as participated in the events themselves, such as the Marine Mammal Rescue Team (MMRT). Marlee Barbour, a member of MMRT, spoke about her experience. “As a new member, I was so excited to participate in Ocean Awareness Week. I was promoting it to my friends to make them go out and show support at events!”

Many members and participants contested that Ocean Awareness week was full of engaging activities, which resulted in thousands of dollars in donations that worked to make a difference in ocean conversation.

Students attending events appreciate hard work put in by fellow ‘Canes

Story by Jennifer Kowalcyk Design by Giselle Spicer

With a variety of events offered across campus, a lull in student life was few and far between this year. The commotion of small events drew students in bidding ‘Canes to come together to enjoy and to participate in.

While enjoying the perks of attending on-campus events, students were very aware of the effort it took to get these events running. Senior Nadia Deskins shared her experience in hosting a small event on campus, “So many students and friends could come by to participate in our activities allowing us to get to know each other and our organization,” she said, referencing an outdoor painting event hosted by SWE x Yellow Rose Society.

Students who attended the small campus events felt the most important thing was that they brought ‘Canes together. Senior Jiucheng Ding reflected, “small events are essential in strengthening affections between students and the school”, they bring moments of joy and give students a break from possible academic monotony. Many of the events held on campus were interactive, facilitating chances for students to meet not only fellow classmates but faculty as well.

Small campus events went beyond showing support for the smaller organization on campus but in giving opportunities to bond with each other under the flag of meaningful campus contribution and involvement; they facilitated relationships built on civic engagement.

SO BRIGHT talent

Bringing words to life on a stage is no easy task, but the actors that are part of the Ring Theatre excel at it

Story by Shea Halpenny Design by Carolina Camus

The cast and crew of Cabaret and The Curious Incident of The Dog in the Night-Time brought the stories to life inside the J erry Herman Ring Theatre in the spring semester. Students, along with a few fellow adult actors to play older characters, wrapped up the school year with passionate performances.

Emilia Torello, a senior majoring in Musical Theater, shared what her experience was like when she was cast in The Curious Incident of The Dog in the Night-Time. Torello was ecstatic to play a part in the first performance after returning from winter inter session. “I loved every moment of this play. It was such an interesting play to be able to present for students and it was such a big hit. I’ve always loved Simon Stephens so to be able to bring his work to life was an amazing opportunity,” she said.

As the final production of the year, students put on the musical Cabaret. Cabaret was a well-known classic musical, and Samuel Evan explained the differences between performing straight plays in comparison to musicals. As a senior majoring in Musical Theater, as well as a cast member of The Curious Incident of The Dog in the Night-Time and a spectator of Cabaret, he noticed a difference in reactions from the student body. “The plays are entertaining and even heartfelt, but the musicals are always fun for the students,” Evan said.

CELEBRATE at the carnival

For the first time in two years, students got to have fun before finals with rides, games, food, and a concert on the Foote Green

Story by Shea Halpenny Design by Carolina Camus

Since the beginning of the pandemic, UM has had to follow social distance protocols that have made holding large events difficult. With the easing of restrictions of this semester, including the removal of the mask policy, HP Productions was once again able to hold ‘Canes Carnival on campus.

Usually an annual event, ‘Canes Carnival has always been a way for students to relax and have some fun before final exams begin. To celebrate ‘Canes Carnival coming back, HP went big, having a variety of things for students to do: food trucks with fair food, games to win prizes, giveaways, rides, and a concert to end the night.

Many students, both freshman and sophomore, have never experienced UM’s own personal carnival. Zanaiah Billups is a freshman, so this was her first experience at ‘Canes Carnival. “I had an insane amount of fun getting on rides in our own backyard,” Billups said. “I felt very welcomed in the UM community and will remember the night.”

With over 2,000 students in attendance, the Foote Green saw more foot traffic than usual. Many students came to the event to see the highlight of the carnival: a performance by famous singer and musician Marc E. Bassy. “His performance was captivating,” said Cassandra Michel, a junior at UM. “He’s a great live singer. You could tell he was connected to his audience.” With all the events and fun, the concert seemed to be a perfect ending to the carnival.

HURRAH

Students and the surrounding community honor the Hecht Residential College before demolition

Story by Sara Holtam Design by Giselle Spicer

As the plans began for Centennial Village, a new part of campus that will consist of five new residential colleges, the current first-year residential colleges were going to be torn down. Hecht Residential College was the first to take part in the demolition, and many members of the campus came together to celebrate the building one last time at Hecht’s Last Hurrah.

Hecht’s Last Hurrah provided an opportunity to say goodbye to the building where participants signed a commemorative poster with the event’s name on it, took pictures with Sebastian the Ibis, chanted “oh yeah, Hecht yeah” and were offered refreshments and food. Freshman and resident, Caleigh Russo, discussed the event. “Everyone I knew was at Hecht’s Last Hurrah. There was such a good turnout because it was almost as if we were leaving our ‘legacy’ as the last group to live there before being torn down,” she said.

With the special event, many current and previous residents reflected on everything that made living there what it was. Hecht Residential College consisted of two towers, Pentland and McDonald, that were co-ed with one assigned gender on each floor and communal bathrooms.“I loved living there because of all of the social aspects like making friends on each floor and spending time in the lobby study room. It truly maximized the freshman experience because of all the opportunities to meet new people,” Russo said.

Hecht’s Last Hurrah was the final send-off to Hecht Residential College and marked the beginning of a new era as construction for Centennial Village began.

CHANGED things

Lifted COVID-19 restrictions on campus positively affect campus spirits and community

Story by Molly Mackenzie Design by Giselle Spicer

Campus changes from last academic year were noticed as soon as students stepped on campus as they attended in-person classes, and saw nearly the entire student body in-person and without masks. For the first time in a long time, students and staff alike returned to pre-pandemic habits.

One of the more palpable changes throughout was the dining hall operations. When the pandemic first began, the dining halls switched to plastic utensils and paper plates and cups. Students were also not allowed to eat inside the dining halls and were directed to use a takeout system. As campus returned to normal, glass plates and metal silverware made their return and students were able to eat indoors without a limited seat capacity per table.

Restoring classes with lifted restrictions was equally beneficial in determining the morale on campus. Most classes were conducted entirely in person, with class sizes ranging from a few to over a hundred students. In the fall, masks were still required in class but students no longer had to sit with spaces between seats. Sophomore Carissa Niccoli appreciated this change. “Meeting people was challenging the first year, but having in-person classes this year made college feel more real to me,” she said. Spring changes allowed classes to look even more similar to pre-pandemic campus life.

IMPACTS covid-19

Story by Shea Halpenny Design by Giselle Spicer

Campus life was uneasy when COVID-19 first came to the United States in 2020, but the university eventually adjusted. Students and the world were wearing masks everywhere, avoiding unnecessary interactions with friends and family, and spending more time at home. After what seemed like a lifetime, a vaccine was released to the public, and students rushed to receive their dose in hopes of life returning to normal.

Sophomore Ailis Clifford commented on difficulties of the pandemic era campus life that left many aching for a return to normal, “Online classes prevented me from getting to know anyone, I felt really isolated during my first year on campus.” Then things began to look up, “I’m glad the vaccines allowed campus to return to in-person classes, even if it means wearing masks,” Clifford concluded.

While the vaccine was not an end to the pandemic, it was a step in the right direction. ‘Canes finally saw their friends and returned to in-person classes without fearing the worst. New and returning students adjusted again to campus life feeling grateful for all new opportunities and the renewed sense of vibrancy and school spirit that tore through campus.

As the spread of COVID-19 slows, students are happy that campus begins to return to normal

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there were many ever-changing adjustments on campus. The most notable development was that vaccines started being offered in April of the 2022 academic year, which led to more changes and provided more opportunities for students.

To attempt to make it easier and more convenient, students only had to make an appointment through their health portal to secure their spot to get vaccinated. Junior Kendall Onley got vaccinated as soon as she could. “Having the school offer the vaccine right here on campus was so easy, especially for those who didn’t know where to go, or who weren’t able to get it at home,” she said.

Despite the majority of the population on campus being vaccinated, the vaccinations offered on campus and the incentive program that came with it made it easier and gave more reason for people on campus to prevent the further spread of COVID-19. By Molly Mackenzie

SPRING CLEANING

A decrease of cases lent itself to an unrestricted spring semester as students saw life return to normal at UM

Story by Molly MacKenzie Design by Giselle Spicer

The return of students in the spring brought a spike in positive COVID-19 tests in both vaccinated and un-vaccinated ‘Canes on campus, but the spike soon resulted in a sharp a downward trajectory that quickly resulted in changes on campus.

There were about 4,700 positive tests out of around 91,800 total tests by the end of the school year, spanning 17,000 students and 16,000 employees across all three campuses. Only 0.2 percent of the campus tested positive daily in comparison to 25 percent at the beginning of the semester. Mask protocols, consistent testing for un-vaccinated students and high vaccination percentages contributed to keeping cases low.

During the same time, 94 percent of employees were vaccinated. Overall, 86 percent of the student body was vaccinated. The student vaccination percentage for non-residential students was 85 percent and 91 percent for residential students.

High vaccination numbers and a downward trend of cases prompted UM administration to remove the mask mandate in indoor spaces on March 1. “I think they took enough time to affirm that it was the right decision to lift the mask mandate,” noted freshman Maria Rojas. Throughout the pandemic, UM has changed its policies to reflect campus safety but this spring the university has lifted restrictions as they restored campus life to how it was prior to the pandemic.

A HEAVY workload

Aspiring scholars must have an impressive resume when applying to the prestigious school

Story by Maria Rojas Design by Kaylee Mendoza

The School of Architecture has an accredited 6-year program for a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering along with a Master of Architecture (B.S.A.E/M. Arch). It’s known for its heavy course load and extensive work assignments creating a UM stereotype that an Architecture student sighting is akin to seeing an obscure endangered species.

Freshman Carlos Hernandez spent long hours in the 24/7 hour individual studio living up to this stereotype and making sure everything was up to par for the students’ pin-ups. It was a tradition for first-year students to participate in pin-ups, where students placed their projects on the walls for critique.

“I’m a perfectionist and I want all my work to reflect that, but sometimes it can get overwhelming. Luckily, I get the best guidance and critiques whenever I need it,” recalled Hernandez.

The School of Architecture emphasizes the importance of hard work but with such an extensive curriculum, he dedication of the staff is a hallmark of this program that consistently outputs confident professionals able to succeed in their demanding field. Hernandez further reflects, “I’ve learned so much in two semesters with still so much more to learn. I’m excited to see what the upcoming years have to offer and I know my professors will be there every step of the way.”

AND SCIENTISTS ALIKE equipping artists

Proving once again to be a factory for great student thinkers, new courses and extensive opportunities for both freshmen and graduating seniors are offered

MacKenzie

Students in the College of Arts & Sciences seized opportunities to advance their studies and skill sets through research and strategic courses whether they fell within the sciences, fine arts, or humanities.

Some fine arts students took classes in freedom of expression like sophomore Ana Sofia Jouvin who found relief in the time she spent capturing photos for her photography class. Jouvin states, “Taking photography allowed me to discover new ways of seeing the world, especially our beautiful campus and other aspects of the city.”

While virtual research was vastly different in comparison to conducting it in-person, many students were still able to be successful. Senior Anjou Sharma, majoring in Neuroscience and Computer Science, shared his experience. “I’m currently conducting two senior honors theses.

The first looks at treatment outcomes for youth with emotional disorders across transdiagnostic cognitive-behavioral therapy. For the second project, I’m utilizing a coding algorithm to predict moral decision-making across undergraduates. I’ve been able to learn a lot about both topics and make contributions even through a virtual setting.”

Offices, classrooms and studios in the Rainbow Building, the Studio Arts Building, the Merrick Building, and Dooley Memorial fostered motivating environments for students to craft and enhance their works. Some students in the College of Arts prepared for medical school, and were ready for their future careers after conducting research and partaking in laboratory work. Whether students navigated the humanities or the STEM field, students felt equipped by their courses for careers.

Improvement among academics leads to continuous success among attendees who are pursuing a degree in Business

Story by Margarita Sinko Design by Samuel Raus

The Miami Herbert Business School exceeded in performance and claimed a number one placement as Best Undergraduate School in Florida and #30 in the nation, according to Poets & Quants. This ranking is six places higher than the previous year, showing how the school dedicated itself to improving by providing the best opportunities and education.

After the rankings were released, many staff members boasted about how the culture of the school allowed students and faculty to continuously succeed. John Quelch, the dean of Miami Herbert, claimed that the school’s “upward trajectory is a testimony to our faculty and staff’s unyielding commitment to our student’s success.” Members of the administration weren’t the only ones

that spoke positively about the school. Eduardo Tefel, a freshman studying finance,shared his experience with the engaging courses and passionate professors.“I took MKT 201with Dr. Kulkarni and I loved how much I learned about things that I saw everyday, like the logic behind TV advertisements or how companies attract customers to their products,” he said.

One of the many benefits of attending the Miami Herbert Business school was not only the quality education, but it was also the resources offered following graduation. “I believe that the school does an excellent job in helping students start on the right track after graduating by providing assistance in finding a job and I know I’ll have the best resources to jump start my career,” said Tefel.

Inspired students apply their skills beyond the classroom in extracurricular groups

Story by Amrutha Chekthani Design by Samuel Raus

Due to the large array of hands-on opportunities offered by the School of Communication, many students were able to combine their academic experience with their passions to produce a variety of impactful film, advertising, social media campaigns and entertainment pieces.

Chema Garcia, a junior studying Sports Administration and Advertising, was one of the many students that brought the education provided by the School of Communication into real-life ideas. However, his journey started when he came to tour campus, and was given access to the broadcasting studio of UMTV. “I had recently visited the MBC and Telemundo studios in Doral and this one had the exact same infrastructure, it was very impressive,” he said.

Once Garcia began attending classes, he applied the curriculum by becoming a writer, producer and editor for Uni Miami and Off the Wire. Additionally, he combined this passion with his love for the school for a personal project, Red Cup Canes. “I started Red Cup Canes because there was no social media presence showing what the school was really like. My goal was to create an account to show how students actually were and how going to school here actually was, in all its good and bad.” This account grew to 11.6 thousand Instagram followers and, along with the knowledge provided by professors and faculty, connected him to opportunities. Garcia, similarly to other students, was able to take advantage of the opportunities at the School of Communication and use it to start ventures outside the academic scope.

A SPOTLIGHTon education

Unique opportunities for learning are presented to students studying for education based career paths

Teachers, professors, and educators all have to start somewhere. Professions handling the education of minds are the most prominent in people’s lives from childhood into adulthood. The School of Education and Human Development wanted to ensure that the school would prepare the current students to be well-rounded future educators amidst the social and political restrictions of the waning pandemic.

Sophomore Kayla Wig majors in Music Education Major with an Education Minor and shared that one of her favorite things about the School of Education was their field experience program. “This semester I was paired with Ponce De Leon Middle School where I’m expected to spend at least five hours doing a classroom observation.” Wig found that this immersive style of learning was very helpful in expanding her educational and social skill set.

On top of learning new skills, Wig shared that she networked through this experience as well, “I was able to get advice from the teacher at Ponce de Leon about the transition from college to a full-time teaching position and how to make that as smooth as possible.” Wig’s goal through receiving off-campus experience was to teach high school songwriting and a modern band class to change student lives.

The School of Education emphasized building educators through a well-rounded curriculum and expanding students’ knowledge through opportunities that provided insight into what teaching in real-life could look like for them after they graduate from UM.

Engineering students relish in the spring semester’s lifted COVID-19 pandemic restrictions as difficult work loads are easier managed with in-person group learning

Story by Allegra Garcia Design by Samuel Raus

The College of Engineering emphasized teamwork and handson learning to gain knowledge and experience, so some students were disappointed when they had to begin exchanging information over Zoom calls due to the pandemic. However, the decline in the spread of COVID-19 soon allowed these students to resume in-person learning and meet with their teams. Junior Miguel Silveira, majoring in Biomedical Engineering and Physics, discussed the importance and convenience of working in person with groups for the curriculum in the College of Engineering, “Labs are intended to be done with a partner or in a group setting, so when we were forced to

work alone, it became more difficult to collect accurate data.”

Following the fall semester, students returned to work in groups for labs and projects. Silveria shared that there were certain benefits when utilizing this method of work. “Working closely with those in your group is not only helpful in the process of learning, butof creating connections with those in your field of study,” he said.

With such an emphasis on group learning and team work, Silveira found the adjustments to the pandemic made the course load more difficult, but spring semester brought back some highly appreciative students as UM shifted back into a much needed normalcy.

THE HEART of learning

Studying in the medical field requires students to adapt to changes in classroom mid COVID-19

Story by Allegra Garcia Design by Samuel Raus

The School of Nursing and Health Studies prepared students to lead with cutting edge simulation-based educational techniques, research and a stringent course load. Students in nursing programs worked to complete a set of clinical requirements, where they received hands-on experience and practiced skills they would utilize in a real-world environment before working with patients. However, nursing students had to adjust to the change in clinicals as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The university adopted new guidelines to ensure the safety of students while maintaining a rigorous curriculum, which affected the clinical experience for many students.

Junior Lauren Yates found the changes to be extremely effective. “The School of Nursing has been good about

informing us of everything we need to know for clinicals. I am grateful for everything they are doing to give us the best opportunities possible during this time,” she said.

It was vital for these students to remain focused and keep track of their work and productivity throughout this time of change as different health care facilities were introducing different guidelines. While these changes were quite the adjustment, the online system, Complio, allowed students to keep all their immunizations and requirements organized.

Regardless of the changes they encountered, students still had the chance to learn more skills in the following semesters. The countless hours of clinicals, despite the changes, Yate said helped students learn what it would be like to work in the field.

Those with the gift of music attend university to further their career in hopes of musical success

The Frost School of Music is home to students of many musical and creative interests. Frost consists of a variety of students, many of which worked hard to make it there, and who have dreams of making it big.

The school was dedicated to students with artistic backgrounds, which meant there was a required audition process to select who demonstrated immense talents and passion for what they wished to pursue. Isabelle Olmeda, a freshman majoring in Music Education, recalled, “The audition process was extensive, nerve-wracking, and preparing for them was a journey, but it was all worth it to attend my dream school at the University of Miami.”

As each student became a part of the Frost School of Music, they found their favorite and most beneficial aspects of the school. There were many students with similar interests and aspirations, and it built a “community that pushes me to become a greater musician and allows me to share my talents with those around me,” Olmeda said. In addition to this, it also provided many opportunities. “Performing Mussorgsky Picturesat an Exhibition in the Adrienne Arsht Center was a highlight this semester,” said Olmedawhen speaking about her favorite performance.

The Frost School of Music provides a safe space for students to create, learn and pursue their talents and passions while simultaneously allowing them to share these talents with the people in their community and beyond.

The goal of studying marine related subjects is to help learn how to maintain a healthy planet and protect aquatic ocean life across the world

Story by Molly MacKenzie Design by Samuel Raus

Students and faculty in the Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science were greeted with a new academic year of in-person learning and events to help raise awareness for the ocean and environment. With the surplus of opportunities offered to RSMAS students, they had a lot to discuss about some of the biggest events and extracurricular activities that came along with the school.

Ocean Awareness Week was one of the largest events, which involved different educational opportunities with the purpose of spreading awareness on campus.

Sophomore and Marine Affairs student Ellen Otterbach served as the education chair on the executive board for Rho Rho Rho, the RSMAS honor society, shared her excitement.“We strive to connect with the student body and faculty, staff and the community of Coral Gables to educate them

about the importance of our oceans through a week full of activities and events,” she said.

RSMAS students also found that there were many ways to pursue their studies and passions through different activities on and off campus. Marine Biology and Ecology student Allison Blatter, freshman, joined the Marine Mammal Rescue Team.

Students that are part of the team went through a stranding certification course, and following certification, were trained to respond to calls from local stranding organizations. “The team also goes on rewarding and fun trips to see different marine mammals in the wild and rehabilitation centers,” she said. With the large number of activities and extracurriculars, this past year was packed with spreading awareness and becoming actively involved in saving the atmosphere, oceans and its creatures.

TIME TO master it

Choosing to what pursue for a higher education is a decision that students do not take lightly

Story by Maria Rojas Design by Samuel Raus

With a highly-competitive work environment, many students opt to continue their education into graduate school to improve their chances of succeeding in the real world and to increase the amount of opportunities available to them.

When deciding whether or not to pursue a graduate degree, Pierson stated, “Once we realized that a five year option was available, my family decided it would be best to just go ahead and continue for one more year instead of trying to come back or going somewhere else for the degree.”

Luckily, some schools offer an encompassing program that includes a bachelor and master degree that students can take advantage of, such as Pierson, while other students are left going the traditional route and applying to graduate programs separate from their undergraduate degrees. Nonetheless,

students are still exposed to an abundance of knowledge and insight. “A Master’s degree will help me further research within the field and help me understand if I want to pursue a career in academia or more corporate,” stated Pierson.

Once in the work field, Pierson recognized how helpful a graduate degree will be by saying, “It will help me stand out by showing employers that I have a deeper understanding of the topic that most other applicants would not, coupled with the in-depth classes and extensive research.”

Although graduate school may not be for everyone, Pierson recommended for students to consider it, saying, “Oftentimes there are 2 paths available: doing research or more classes. This allows you to focus on either career path you want and there are great programs available for degrees.”

Courses tailored to current world issues, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, are offered to law students

Story by Amrutha Chethikattil Design by Samuel Raus

Nestled inside the larger undergraduate campus, the University of Miami School of Law is home to its own collection of course offerings and prestigious faculty and alumni network.

Kelly Malloy, 3L student, spoke on Miami Law’s everexpanding curriculum. “While classes on traditional law school subjects are always available, much of our curriculum is refreshed each semester to cover hot topics like artificial intelligence law and sneaker law and discuss the legal implications of current events such as the pandemic.”

Similarly, due to the meaningful relationships students were able to build with faculty, they even had input on the courses offered. “I requested a course on Patent Prosecution as I was gearing up to take the Patent Bar, and the Vice Dean for

Academic Affairs put one together,” said Malloy.

Malloy also took on leadership opportunities by serving as the President of Miami Law’s Student Bar Association, which allowed her to act as a liaison between students, administration, and the greater community.

“I planned our most successful Barrister’s Ball in over a decade, conceptualized and hosted a panel on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace, and improved communication regarding the bar application and preparation processes for both in-state and out-of-state bar takers,” she said.

With a smaller community, UM Law showed a willingness to evolve the curriculum and opportunities as they curated their law school experience for faculty and students alike.

Biomedical Graduate Student Government (BGSG) was one of these organizations that focused on the needs of the Miller School of Medicine’s student body. BGSG Treasurer, Minh Lam, is a graduate student in the Biochemistry & Molecular Biology department. He emphasized that the “constant stress of setting priorities and self-care” led to a fundamental shift in focus of BGSG. He explained that the purpose of the group was to “approach supporting students differently... having to comply with new rules and mandates, mental health and burnout were main concerns among the graduate students.”

BGSG made great strides in supporting Miller students and took some of the load off their backs. One of the organization’s biggest accomplishments was proposing a stipend increase for Miller students to afford the rising cost of living in Miami. According to Lam, this “reduced the financial stress put on the students.” BGSG also held a major career development fair for students. “We invite top academics, industry personnel and advisors to come to talk to current students,” Lam explained. In addition, BGSG held an International Women’s Day Event, a Black History Month event, beach cleanups and more interactive community events to support students.

BGSG reflected the ways in which Miller assisted its students by offering a support system throughout the students’ journeys to success.

EXPANDING

our education

Cognates broaden the reach of education by allowing students to personalize their credit requirements

Design by Giselle Spicer

what is a cognate?

Students fulfill the Areas of Knowledge requirement by selecting and completing a cognate in the three areas of the university curriculum:

1. Arts & Humanities (A&H)

2. People & Society (P&S)

3. Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM)

A cognate requires a minimum of at least three courses, for at least nine credit hours. A major, minor, thematic cognate, or an individualized cognate will satisfy the requirement.

Your major will fall into one of the three areas of knowledge, and you will complete two additional cognates of your own choosing.

You will craft an education that draws from UM’s unique range of schools and colleges with any number of combinations that represent your curiosities, passions, and career explorations.

RAYAN ZEIN

Freshman

Major: Biology

Cognate: Psychology & Sociology, French

Why this cognate: Freshman Rayan Zein chose French as his Arts & Humanities cognate because his first language is French. He chose psychology and sociology for People & Society because it is related to math and interests him.

SABRINA MENENDEZ

Freshman

Major: Nursing

Cognate: Psychology

Why this cognate: Freshman Sabrina Menendez chose psychology as her People & Society cognate because psychology is a requirement for her major, so she decided to continue with the cognate.

BETTY SROUR

Freshman

Major: Sociology, Political Science

Cognate: Technology

Why this cognate: Not really a science or math person, freshman Betty Srour decided to go down a more technological route with her STEM cognate.

DANIEL HOFFMAN

Freshman

Major: Entrepreneurship

Cognate: National Government

Why this cognate: Freshman Daniel Hoffman hadn’t put much thought into cognates so he simply allowed his advisor to choose a cognate for him.

AT WORK we’re all

Students can be found working everywhere on campus, from residence halls to The Rathskeller

While attending school, many students found it possible to maintain a job and a social life. Going out got easily expensive for students who wanted to get the full college experience. For that reason, student employment gave students the opportunity to find a job that worked around their class schedule.

Whether to decrease living costs, pay for textbooks or to acquire some extra money, students were able to gain work experience, while earning a wage. From offering campus tours, managing social media accounts, serving at a campus restaurant, leading workout classes or working for a campus organization, every student was able to find a position that fit their interests and skills.

There were many advantages to student employment, the most prominent ones being the abundance of options, the flexibility of managers to work around students’ classes and the easy commute to and from work. Danielle Jordan, a junior, had worked as a student employee in the residence halls’ computer labs for the past two years. “I chose the computer labs because my roommate worked there, the job is very relaxed, and I was able to study while working,” she said.

Regardless of where, when, or how often students worked, many of them left the experience feeling all of the benefits that came with it. From having extra time to study, improving their customer service skills, and putting extra work experience on their resumes, many students felt that being a student employee was one of the best decisions they made.

THE WORLD we're all around

Seizing the opportunity to be educated in another country via study abroad programs is a rare opportunity

Story by Amrutha Chekthani Design by Carolina Camus

After a summer of wondering whether their study abroad academic plans would be altered, many students were happy to find that certain fall study abroad programs were greenlit. The study abroad department offered a limited selection of programs to attempt to ensure student safety. With this being the first batch of students who were able to study abroad since the onset of COVID-19, many seized the opportunity.

With a large array of study abroad programs across multiple continents, there were many to choose from. Hailey Ray, a senior studying Biochemistry, chose to spend her semester in Rome, Italy. During the URome program, a collaboration with the American

University of Rome (AUR), Ray said students had the opportunity to make friends from all over the world, develop their cultural knowledge, and learn more about themselves.

While Ray took many classes to expand her academic enrichment, she said she learned her most important lessons outside of the classroom. “The thing that changed the most is my independence. I had my first experience traveling by myself. I had to learn how to navigate a new culture where I didn’t even know the language. This forced me to be confined to myself and my abilities,” said Ray. Study abroad programs paved the way for students to gain cultural fluency, personal development, and expanded academic achievements.

CEREMONY december

Story by Amrutha Chethikattil Design by Giselle Spicer

Friday, December 16, the fall commencement ceremony was held for undergraduate and graduate candidates at the Watsco Center. The non-traditional graduation time period coupled with rising COVID-19 cases translated into a commencement that was largely scaled-down in comparison to the years prior to the pandemic, but it still had a similar sentimental value to students.

For fall commencement, students were allotted only six guest tickets for the ceremony and there was a live stream for all of the families that couldn’t travel to Miami or weren’t able to receive a ticket to sit in the Watsco Center. While these adjustments did take place, some graduates shared that they were grateful for the opportunity to celebrate an in-person commencement ceremony. “I feel really grateful we even got to have the graduation. At the time, many schools had canceled their ceremonies entirely,” commented senior Megan Page.

In addition to the ceremony itself, Page found that the event caused her to reflect on her experiences as a first-generation college student. “It felt like a full-circle moment for me because I went into the college process alone and had to figure out many things for myself. Now, I am graduating a semester later than most of my peers. However, I graduated with a dual degree, and taking only an extra semester is a really big accomplishment for me and I’m proud of myself for that,” she shared.

Page, along with other students, rejoiced in their successes and reflected upon their college experience during their commencement ceremonies, grateful to enjoy the moment alongside friends and family.

The class of 2022 celebrated commencement at the end to an unconventional college career in the traditional Miami way at the Watsco Center on Friday, May 13.

“Graduation day was bittersweet. It was satisfying to cross stage with the same people I was in Watsco with on orientation day and see how much we had grown as a class,” said senior Julie Erhardt who graduated from the Herbert Business School. Even though the day was very

exciting, it was underscored by sadness knowing it was the end of our journeys at Miami and a goodbye to a place that had been home for 4 years.”

As Erhardt got on the graduation stage to sing the alma mater at the end of the ceremony, she was able to reflect. “It always felt like there was someone in my corner. I’m grateful to UM for a lot of things, but most importantly how much the people there care,” said Erhardt.

The Hurricanes take a 44-13 hit in the season opening game against Alabama in Atlanta

Kicking off against Alabama’s Crimson Tide at the MercedezBenz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, the Hurricanes put up a fight in their season-opener loss.

“Walking to the arena was an out-of-body experience. I’ve never had the opportunity to experience a team that I love playing in such a large stadium,” said sophomore Erin Spinner, who attended the game.

After a 10-0 lead in the first quarter by Alabama, the ‘Canes finally put points on the board in the second quarter with a field goal by Andres Borregales.

“My hopes for the game was for us to put up a fight. There was no doubt in my mind that Alabama was a powerhouse and a force to be reckoned with, but I had hoped that we would put up a good fight and keep pushing until the very end,” said Spinner about the game.

By the end of the third Miami managed to place another field goal by Borregales and the single touchdown of the game was thrown by quarterback D’Eriq King to Xavier Restrepo, despite also throwing two interceptions.

The game against the number one team ended 44-13.

“At the end of the game, I was definitely disappointed, but I did leave with a feeling of excitement for the rest of the season,” said Spinner.

OF FIRSTSbig game

Throughout the successes and losses of this past football season, there was quite a lot to talk about across campus. From the games where the team dominated to the games where they could’ve done better, the experience of attending a football game was always memorable.

Scoring a total of 10 touchdowns against the Central Connecticut Blue Devils, the Hurricanes played an exciting shutout game winning 69-0. For first-year graduate student Emily Chavez, this game marked her first at the Hard Rock Stadium as a ‘Cane. “Being surrounded by students made the experience great, as our excitement towards the game was communal,” Chavez said.

Within the first three minutes of the game, the Hurricanes had moved all the way down the field for Mike Harley to catch a 5-yard pass for the first touchdown. Tyler Van Dyke, a freshman, was called to the field with D’Eriq King out due to a shoulder injury. Van Dyke threw three touchdown passes and gained 270 yards throughout the game. Jake Garcia also threw two touchdowns and had a total of 147 yards. Cam’Ron Harris stole the show scoring three of the 10 touchdowns all in the second quarter gaining the ‘Canes 21 points.

Despite a delay of game at halftime due to lightning in the area, the Hurricanes on and off the team came back strong in the second half.

THE SWARM defeating

Charleston Rambo breaks records in front of an alumni crowd at the homecoming game winning 38-26

Story and Design by Giselle Spicer

With hundreds of alumni in the stands on November 6 for the homecoming game, the Hurricane defense was able to fend off Georgia Tech’s Yellowjackets in a tight match-up ending in a 33-30 win.

Starting out strong for fans at the Hard Rock Stadium, senior Mike Harley and junior Charleston Rambo each scored a touchdown leading the Yellowjackets 14-7 by the end of the first quarter.

The second, however, added 14 points for Georgia Tech as they began to lead 21-17. By the top of the fourth Georgia Tech surpassed expectation and were winning 28-27 with a small window for the ‘Canes to close.

A heart-stopping run by Georgia Tech 98 yards down the field in the fourth would have shattered the win, but the score was a point after touchdown conversion, which only gave Georgia Tech two points in a 33-28 lead by the ‘Canes. With defensive plays in the rest of the fourth quarter, the Hurricanes won in the name of the fans returning to their alma mater for the weekend.

The star of the game, Charleston Rambo, totaled 210 yards in seven catches throughout the game. He is only the fourth in university history to pass 200 yards and has the most yards second only to Eddie Brown, who had 220 yards against Boston College in 1984.

mario cristobal

Mario Cristobal has been named the 26th head coach of the University of Miami. As a former Hurricane himself, Cristobal was a part of the 1989 and 1991 National Championship teams as an offensive lineman. After his time at the ‘U’, he was tight end and offensive line coach at Rutgers for two years and returned to Miami in the same position for two more.

He was then named Florida International University’s second head coach in 2006 where he stayed for five years. After leaving FIU, he was hired by Nick Saban as Alabama’s assistant head coach and offensive line coach spending three seasons there. In 2017 Cristobal moved to the University of Oregon where he was also the offensive line coach under Willie Taggart. Cristobal then became the head coach for Oregon and remained there until being offered the head coach position at Miami.

In his introductory press conference, Cristobal stated his excitement about joining the Hurricane family again. “I can’t wait to get to work. This show of support here is just poured all in. The University of Miami was a game changer in my life. I’ve never been the same. Never. Because of my experience here. I believe I owe it to everyone that wears that ‘U’.”

After joining the Miami football team in 2016 as defensive coordinator, Manny Diaz coached the ‘Canes for six seasons as both defensive coordinator and head coach.

Hired by head coach Mark Richt, Diaz made his mark on the Miami defense. He invented the Turnover Chain in 2017, which has become a Miami tradition to incentivise interceptions and garnered a No. 4 NCAA defense in 2018 also scoring No. 1 in several categories.

Two years into his position, Diaz was offered a head coach position at Temple, which he accepted. Within weeks, Richt retired and Diaz was offered the head coach position at Miami and rejoined the Hurricanes for another three seasons.

With an overall 21-15 record with the ‘Canes, Diaz had some tough losses, but despite his disappointment leaving the ‘U’ Diaz will continue is coaching career at Penn State as their new defensive coordinator.

With the uncertainty surrounding the two previous seasons, members of the Cross Country team took advantage of the time off to get back into their groove and it showed through their scores and their friendships.

Although COVID-19 provided several setbacks, it also allowed for extra time to perfect their skills and spend more time practicing. “We weren’t allowed to race as much last year, so we spent time training and were ready for our races this year,” stated senior Emma Langlois. Sophomore Dillon Fields agreed that the rest period provided “a good opportunity to rest and fall in love with the sport again.”

The team relied on the extra time to fine tune their talents, and it encouraged each person to succeed and push themselves, while still having fun with other team members.

“A few upperclassmen hyped everyone up for our workout using a karaoke machine and a strobe light because it lightened the mood and relieved some of the stress,” recalled freshman Elyse Bartelmey.

Cross Country is not an easy feat, but with the supportive and uplifting dynamic between the team and the students, it made it a lot more enjoyable. For freshman Daphnee Lavassas, the team is like a family. “I care for them a lot and I’m always offering any support or help whenever I can,” she said.

Building these friendships and actively participating in a sport they’re passionate about has led the cross country team to a valuable season filled with hard work and success.

FLYING into the net

Despite a tough season, the women’s soccer team creates an incredible bond through the ups and down

In August, the women’s soccer team was ready and anticipating their chance to play again after an unpredictable previous year. The team had been spending a lot of time on the field training, working together and learning from each other to build a successful game plan, but many team members well went far beyond training efforts. The familial bond and comradery between the girls was key to ensure their stellar performance on the pitch. Melissa Degenalis, a junior and team goalie, agreed that this season “was the one that we grew the most as a team, especially culture wise. Our team dynamic is better than it has ever been and I feel like that’s reflecting on the field,” she said.

For many of the players, the relationships between each other was important on and off the field to ensure they performed at their best, and their numerous wins demonstrated this exact team bond and encouragement that existed between the women. Freshman Lauren Meeks greatly appreciated these relationships, and shared her experience as a member of the team.

“We know how to get serious and go after it when we have to but we also have a lot of fun together,” Meeks said.

Playing here, building friendships, and having participated in a sport they were passionate about led the women’s soccer team to a valuable season of working their hardest and never giving up despite the losses.

Succeeding in the sport was about more than training and discipline, but rather who you trained with according to the teams. An encouraging training environment was crucial to take athletes to the next level. This environment included having coaches that cared about the individual athletes.

Max Flory, a sophomore on the dive team, emphasized the honor of having a coach with the “biggest winning streak in NCAA history” who sent athletes every year to the Olympics from 1992 to 2016. Savannah Barr, a sophomore on the swim team, shared her favorite part of being on the team. “Everyone on the team has big goals that the coaches contribute to and support,” she said. The supportive hand given by head diving coach, Randy Ableman, and head swimming coach, Andy Kershaw, paid off as four members of the diving team qualified for the 2022 NCAA Championships and the swimming team placed ninth at the ACC Championships.

On top of coaching, teammates were vital for support. Maria Coburn, a freshman diver, underwent surgery during the season due to an injury when she came to find out her fellow teammate, Brodie Scapens, had undergone the same surgery.

“He told me how to keep a positive outlook on things. He has worked hard to get back into diving and it’s really inspiring to see. I hope to do the same,” she shared.

The men’s basketball team was the big talk on campus as they continued to move up the ranks this past season, reaching number one in the ACC in mid-January. Students that were fans of the sport and the team were able to discuss the difference in the student section in comparison to other years.

“The atmosphere this semester has been insane. With nearly 2,000 students that were deprived of basketball games all of last season, and with the style of play that our team plays like up-tempo, forcing

turnovers, and draining threes, it’s really easy to get hyped for a game,” said senior Rohin Vaidya.

Miami had a few key players, including third-year sophomore Isiah Wong averaging 25 points per game and sixth-year seniors Kameron McGusty and Sam Waardenburg averaging 18 and 21 points per game respectively. These players, along with others, were often part of student pride.

“The thing I love most about attending games is seeing our entire campus community come together and support our studentathletes,” said Vaidya.

With more in-person support and nerve-wracking close matchups against rival schools, many were determined to keep the first ranking in the ACC and the energy up.

The spring season of UM outdoor track and field brought the team to be the best in the nation. Each individual performance was crucial to the team success which made establishing a supportive team bond a priority. Junior Sincere Rhea immediately felt motivated by his fellow teammates.“Right after transferring at the beginning of the spring semester, the team welcomed me with open arms and we locked eyes towards our goals,” Rhea said. “This team is truly a family and I’m lucky to have become a part of it.”

The ‘Canes carved through the busy season scoring top times both in the men’s and women’s races while setting new school records. The women’s team saw five records broken this spring: the 3,000 Meter and the 5,000 Meter by Freshman Daphnee Lavassas, the 3,000 Meter Steeplechase by Freshman Bianco Banato, and the Javelin by Freshman Erikka Hill. The men’s team saw two records broken this spring: the Triple Jump by Junior Russell Robinson and the Hammer Throw by Graduate Student Decio Andrade.

A proud season for the history books and for Hurricane Athletics for outdoor track and field. Rhea summed up the team’s efforts, “It was important that we pushed each other constantly to get where we wanted to be,” and it showed as the team excelled on a national level.

With another season completed, members of the men’s tennis team discussed all of the events and lessons that made up their experiences. Players shared their favorite parts of the season, how the time spent training helped achieve their individual and team goals and the professional routes it led them to.

As the team powered through the season, they gained a title in the NCAA Top 20 Rankings, which allowed different members to create goals for the future. Franco Aubone, a fourth-year junior, shared that at the halfway point of their season, their goals were to “fight for the ACC tournament and to host the first two rounds of NCAA at home.” Similarly, these goals fueled senior Bojan Jankulovski to be better. When asked what his favorite part about being on the team was, Jankulovski said that “sharing one common goal is something that motivates me every day to get up and give my best...we suffer, win, and lose together.”

Beyond playing the game and winning tournaments, players headed on their professional journeys and shared what the season taught them. Freshman Martin Katz shared the skills outside of the game that it instilled in him. He said that through tennis, he “learned autonomy and organization” and had become a “better person by teaching me both discipline and selflessness.”

Ranked fourth in the ACC, Miami’s tennis women win matches all the way to the NCAA Championships

Story by Maria Rojas Design by Giselle Spicer

As the women’s tennis team continued to compete throughout the season, many of the players found that there was certain dynamic necessary to compete in a composed and consistent manner, and this was a main contributor to the team’s successes.

As each team member came together to train and compete, many players noted that they were able to build a family that supported and encouraged each other to strive for excellence. “We are going through the best and toughest moments together and that’s what makes this team special. We are more than teammates. We are friends, we are family,” described sophomore Diana Khodan. As the season began, this dynamic helped the team succeed with a 13-4 winning streak.

Tennis players were able to use their relationships to their advantage this season when they were given the opportunity to play a match at Miami Open. This chance to compete allowed the players to exhibit their excitement through the power on the court. Khodan remembered this as a moment to “try those courts and feel how it is to play in that environment. We also were able to help show people what college tennis is all about and show them our level and what we’re capable of.”

As mentioned by Khodan, the women of the team were able to inspire each other, which allowed their chemistry on the court to be unmatched and created a connection that led them to multiple wins and opportunities in the sport.

Placing high in the ACC Championships, the rowing team posts best record since the team expansion in 2015

Story by Maria Rojas Design by Giselle Spicer

Rowing involved lots of practice and synchronization, and when the main racing season approached in the spring, members of the rowing team shared their confidence in their performance as a team because of the dynamic they were able to build in the fall prep months.

The team organized several team bonding activities that pushed them to trust and respect each other, which some players noted was essential to performance. Veronica Belloso, a sophomore rower on the team, noticed this shared respect and its positive impact on the team. “The team isf ull of very fast and determined girls and our shared drive to win brings us together. I would say the team dynamic is the best it has been in years,” Belloso said.

This extra time spent practicing and bonding was reflected in the very first competition of the season. Four team members traveled to Boston to compete in the Head of the Charles regatta where they placed third out of 54 teams. These results gave players hope that they would be able to continue the streak in the coming tournaments. “We placed sixth at the ACC Championship last year, which was the best result our team had ever seen. We think we will do even better this year,” Belloso said.

PARADISE swinging in

History is made as the program finishing fifth at the NCAA South Regional Championship in Tallahassee

Story by Sara Holtam Design Giselle Spicer

With placing ninth out of 17 teams in the first tournament to kick off the season, the golf team was starting at a lower performance than expected. Throughout the season, the team placed somewhat inconsistently, with some of them ranking in the bottom half percent, like the FSU Match-Up where they placed seventh out of 12 teams, and other tournaments where they ranked higher, like the White Sands Invitational where they received third place out of seven teams.

Despite some of the lower-ranking tournaments, some players shared their feeling about the performance as a team. For junior Franziska Sliper, with 1,337 strokes throughout the season and one top-20 finish, she felt that these stats didn’t necessarily reflect the team’s capabilities. “We’re a strong team and I know we haven’t shown our full potential yet,” she said.

The team did compete successfully at other tournaments throughout the season, with one of them being the Jim West Challenge, where they finished in third place out of 15 teams. Throughout this tournament, the team collectively had par-72 and 6,415 yards. Sara Byrne had 209 strokes and Daniella Barrett had 208, which earned them both top 10 rankings individually.“There have been successful tournaments in the fall that have helped us trend in the right direction and I am sure that it will result in a great end to our season,” Sliper said.

While there were ups and downs throughout the season, the golf team was hoping to start an upward trajectory as they reached the spring semester.

TO THE TOP home run

With a fresh young team, the Hurricanes fly near the top of the NCAA, ranking number two in the mid-season

Story by Sara Holtam Design Giselle Spicer

As members of the baseball team operated throughout the season, the coaches and many players had to adjust to a roster full of younger students. With 31 players in total and 27 of them being either freshmen or sophomores, there were different obstacles that players had to overcome, as well as different opportunities for them to bond.

Despite the unconventional team, the season ended with few games lost. After competing in 60 games in total, the team lost 20 games with close match-ups against Boston College with an 11-12 score and Harvard with 6-11. Catcher Maxwell Romero Jr., who caught 313 times this past season, spoke about how the younger team affected the way they operated on and off the field.

“One of the biggest differences this year is the chemistry and love for one another. This team is younger, but we have such a tight bond that it makes us even better when we play,” he said.

Jacob Burke, a sophomore that played in an outfield position, discussed further how the younger students contributed to the chemistry that Romero also noticed.

“There is an unfathomable amount of chemistry both in the locker room and on the field. It is great because we are all best friends, meaning that we always have each other’s backs and are always committed to doing the best thing for the team,” Burke commented.

The success is reflected in the season’s statistics as they finished off the season going two round in the ACC Championship and advancing to the NCAA Regionals.

GREEKS

Involvement in Greek life on campus is at an all time high. To ensure everyone at the university can be involved in Greek life, several types of sororities, councils and fraternities are active. Students can join the Multicultural Greek Council, or a traditional sorority and fraternity. With 26 Greek organizations on campus, ‘Canes can participate in something that makes their undergraduate years more memorable and significant.

GREEK LIFE

Do you want to be in Greek life? Bid Day gives all students the opportunity to find their home

Story by Shea Halpenny Design by Marcela Lynch

Recruitment is the week when girls looking to join a sorority explore Greek life in its fullest. Bid Day is the day when all those girls find their home with a new sorority.

Bid Day is a day full of celebration and laughter, and old members get to meet their new soon-to-be sisters and new members get their matches with a sorority. Getting a bid is every girl’s dream when they want to join Greek life.

Danielle Tenberg, a senior who is a member of Chi Omega, participated in her third bid-day this year. “I’ve always loved recruitment week, especially bid-day,” Dani said. “Bid Day is such a fun day where we can celebrate finding new girls to expand our family.” Chi Omega had one of the biggest new classes of the year, with over eighty new girls joining this year.

Each sorority featured their own theme for their celebration. Chi Omega choose Classic Rock and Roll while Tri Delt’s was “Madd Happy,” including their very own ball-pit for the fun. With this being the first in-person Bid Day since the COVID-19 pandemic entered our lives, girls were ecstatic to be celebrating with their new members face-to-face.

GIRLS WANNA HAVE FUN There is no better way to kick off the best day than with a ball pit. Sophomore Celia Condon and junior Ellie Perrigo are all giggles in this fun filled pit. Photo courtesy of Ellie Pelligro

GREEK LIFE giving back

Service and community philanthropy is very important for members in greek organizations across the world

Story by Shea Halpenny Design by Marcela Lynch

Greek life isn’t all about partying and have fun, they are also dedicated to giving back to their communities.

Throughout the year, fraternities and sororities alike participated in events to raise money for different organizations. These organizations were working in pursuit of causes that represented ideas each sorority or fraternity supported.

The sorority Chi Omega raised money for a Wish Enhancement through the Make-a-Wish foundation to allow a young girl with cystic fibrosis to go to Disney World. On the first day alone, Chi Omega raised over $1,000. Janie Lobel, a sophomore and Chi Omega’s philanthropy chair, put together a week of events to raise money. “Chi Omega has been with the Make-a-Wish foundation for years,” Lobel said. “It’s been so

much work but so much fun being able to raise money for a young girl who is so deserving of happiness.”

Fraternities like Lambda Chi Alpha held their philanthropies twice this academic year, raising money for Feeding America. At just one event, the members raised over $2,500, which is equivalent to 7,500 meals offered to food banks across the country. Ethan Robbins, a junior and president of Lambda, took a big part in the philanthropy events. “While we may love to party, we love being able to help out others in need,” Robbins said.

To encourage and bring together these philanthropic efforts, there was a competition held to see which sorority or fraternity could raise the most amount of money. This, led to numerous fundraisers and activities to support various different charities.

Greek Week brought in both smiles and cash in support of a local hunger relief organization through its festive competitions

Story by Shea Halpenny Design by Giselle Spicer

In addition to being the social apex that Greek life was known for, fraternities and sororities emphasized their role as philanthropic organizations during Greek Week. Greek Week worked with Feeding South Florida (FSF), a hunger relief organization for Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe counties. Members of the National Panhellenic Council and the Interfraternity Council divided themselves into Nickelodeon-themed teams to participate in various events throughout the week raising money for FSF.

Notable events were a rowing competition, coin wars, and OCheer, where sororities and fraternities paired up for a dance-off. Sophomore Chi Omega Simone Weatherspoon was one of the coaches for Team Rugrats OCheer team, “OCheer was a lot of work. Getting everyone to cooperate to create a dance isn’t easy, but performing on the IM field and placing second made it worth it.”

While these events did enable bonding across sororities and fraternities, the priority was philanthropy. Sophomore Lambda Chi Alpha Thomas McPherson was also on Team Rugrats, the champions of Greek Week.“It was great being able to raise money for such a good cause. I loved being able to participate in events with other members of Greek life, and winning feels great too,” McPherson noted.

Greek Week brought students together socially and philanthropically as they fundraised for an organization directly helping the surrounding communities and strengthened their inter-Greek relationships.

atten-hut! With this past year being the first that worked similarly to how it did before the pandemic, there were many differences that changed the way the Frost Band of the Hour performed, and how everyone worked together.

During the year before last, the Frost Band of the Hour would made videos that would be played at football games, since they weren’t allowed to play in person. For the events that they were allowed to attend, members had strict mask mandates, and COVID-19 testing protocols were enforced. As these regulations were lifted this past year, the process of performing looked much different than it did just months prior. Instead of submitting videos, performances were able to happen in the stands of athletic events again. Additionally, members weren’t required to wear masks or bell covers, and didn’t have to stand six feet apart.

With these changes, members of the brand noticed the difference in the response from the crowd. “It felt like there was much more energy from the crowd and that manifested itself into the ensemble,” said sophomore, Sophia Martinez. With everyone working together, there was a stark contrast between the spirit of the Band.

BACK AND better than ever

The Hurricanettes open a new season with a big change to their coaching leadership that will change the team dynamic

The dancers who travel with the Band of the Hour had another exciting season, led by the new coach Tess Guidry. Tess was a member and coach of the Dallas Cowboys for five years. Her experience brought a new touch to the Hurricanettes. Every performance has been bigger and brighter, with the girls putting their all into every performance they put on this year.

The girls celebrated their season with three of their alumni making the Miami Dolphins Cheerleading team. Madi Brand, a first-year student and health sciences pre-med major, is a first-year rookie on the team. When asked what she was looking forward to most her first season on the team, Madi said “I am excited to continue my passion for dance throughout my medical studies and to have the opportunity to establish a sisterhood within a team of amazing girls.”

Student-run WVUM-FM is home to alternative and electronic music found on the 90.5 radio station. The organization is a hub for creative college students to practice their craft and artistically contribute to their community through an expansion of blogs, merchandise and programs.

WVUM held various programs throughout the year to be more involved with the community that the station served. One of their biggest events was the Radio-thon, which was a week-long donation drive where WVUM asked their listeners to donate to keep the station up and running. For the event, they featured a lineup of artists to interest listeners and offered a variety of merchandise packages. Some of their events also promoted friendly competition, like the Battle of the Bands event, where students would go toe-to-toe by performing against each other on the Lakeside Patio. Their events and live music allowed students interested in music to explore their craft. Senior Niaz Ellie spent four years working with WVUM. She held the role of the specialty show host,where her work on the station allowed her to put her passion for music into practice and connect with her peers. “One of my favorite experiences has been connecting with my listeners every week and creating a bond built on our shared love for music,” Ellie said.

WVUM provided opportunities for their employees and their peers to share a common interesting music through the radio station, programs, and blog posts, which Ellie said allowed her to make meaningful relationships with her listeners.

TO THE BEATdancing

The all-girl dance team had an amazing season by continuing their dance legacy with each performance

Story by Shea Halpenny Design by Carolina Camus

The Sunsations dance team has been performing for nearly 100 years, and the student-athletes performed in numerous school events including football and basketball games. With an amazing set of new routines each season, members of the team always had the best energy that both the students and their fellow teammates could feel. These students felt that their participation provided a lot more than defined dance skills, but it also gave them many relationships and opportunities. Senior, Ashley Howell,was a member of the Sunsations for multiple sea sons. “Not only are these girls my teammates but they are also my sisters. I am so grateful to be a

part of the dance team. They provide me with a second family here at school and I’m looking forward to many more memories with these girls on the field,” she said. The excitement of being a part of the Sunsations wore off on everyone they performed in front of, and it definitely paid off. They competed in the Conference Championships with ten other schools, performing in both the Fight Song Divisions and Performance Divisions, and they placed in the top five for both categories with their stunning routines. After all of the hard work that they put in throughout the past year, members of the team were able to see the outstanding results. Whether it showed through the bonds they formed together, the roaring crowds at sports events or the high rankings at competitions.

Story by Shea Halpenny Design by Carolina Camus

The cheerleading teams have a long tradition at the University of Miami, having been founded in 1925. UCheer is made up of both the all-girls dance team and the co-ed team. The cheer team is at every game, home or away, hyping up the crowds and keeping team spirit high for everyone to enjoy.

Rain or shine, these student athletes put their all into every performance, working tirelessly to perfect their choreography so that every trick is a suc-

cess on the stage or floor.

Spending hours a day together, they create a support system for each other. Dezirae Gilliard, a sophomore at UM, said, “UCheer has given me special opportunities to be a part of fun events and traditions at this school, as well as given me a family that I can rely on whether it’s at practice, on the field, or outside of cheer. I’m sothankful to be a part of such an amazing organization and made friends that’ll last a whole lifetime.”

TO ACTION comitted

After a two year break, Alternative Breaks came back strong to celebrate their 15th anniversary

Story by ShelbyQuay Ernst Design by Carolina Camus

UM Alternative Breaks (UMAB), a student-run organization that offers alternative trips for students during winter and spring breaks, celebrated its 15th anniversary by hosting four service trips instead of the usual two. The goal of UMAB is to address social action in local, national and global communities.

The four trips accumulated 1,100 collective service hours for 33 participants. Students traveled to Lexington, Texas; Abilene, Texas; Manchester, N.H.; and Houston, Texas. The volunteers leading and

attending the trip aided victims of domestic violence, refugees, homelessness, food insecurity and disaster relief.

The Co-Chair of UMAB, Bao Duong, remarked on in-person service opportunities and increased interest from peers and community partners.

“Some students from two years ago re-applied to attend this year. It was exciting to have the nonprofit partners that wanted to host us two years ago before the trips were canceled due to COVID-19 restrictions,” Duong said.

ALL FOR THE ecosystem

Some of the community service events that Alternative Breaks hosts are in the interest of environmental safety. Students participate to keep the planet healthy

FOR A RIDE we’re going

An org recruited a record-breaking number of new members and brought the entire campus together via spirit

Story by Cindy Marquez Design by Carolina Camus

The Association of Commuter Students (ACS) has struggled to grow in the COVID-19 climate as a social organization based on forming an in-person community. However, they made waves as pandemic restrictions waned with 300 new members, the biggest influx of participants since the organization’s founding. The sense of family for commuter students had finally returned, and people had a lot to say about it.

ACS creates a home away from home for students, as they fight for a presence on campus amongst all their traveling back and forth. President of ACS, Andres Florez, commented, “We’ve had residents, transfers, and even faculty and staff ask about ACS and how to attend more of our events. The organization has improved tremendously and there is such a diverse community where people can come together, make friendships, and build memories.”

Even though ACS is focuses on commuter students, they are known campus-wide by the activities they host that bring serious school spirit. ACS Outreach Chair, Erik Martin shared, “From our various homecoming wins, insane amounts of spirit at the football games and great outcomes in the fundraisers we host to get more involved with our community, ACS is always trying to get involved with campus.”

Regardless of their residential status, Hurricanes as a whole appreciated ACS in energy they bring to campus and the diversity, community and familiarity their group represents.

THE SPIRIT we bring

Essential pride and spirit team is dedicated to making every week a great week for all Hurricane students

Hurricane Productions (HP) organized and hosted a variety of events tailored to the student body ranging from first-week social events, Homecoming traditions, holiday craft-making, and many smaller events sprinkled in between the larger ones.

Whether students found out about their events through their Instagram page, by walking by the Foote Green or through the Breezeway, Hurricanes enjoyed free food, giveaways, free merch with a simple swipe of their ‘Cane card. HP events also proved to be a great way to meet new people. Freshman Alshely Rodriguez recalled her HP experiences, “I loved how everyone was so nice and it was a way to de-stress between classes; plus, the free merch was always a bonus.”

Hurricane Productions has many branches, including Patio Jams and the Rathskeller Advisory Board (RAB). Each branch provided an opportunity to enjoy the community on campus noting Freshman Isa Juara often stayed for Patio Jams, “I’ll sit in a glider and have them as my background music. I love how it’s students that perform, and I appreciate the large variety in genres and performers.”

HP provided so many ways to get involved in the school community, to make new friends and to fill up any free time with interactive activities. Whether it was making DIY Christmas ornaments or going to trivia nights at The Rat, there was always something to do thanks to the dedication and creativity of HP’s members.

FOR FOODplants

Student org aims to promote a new way of eating by emphasizing the wellbeing of animals

Story by Cindy Marquez Design by Carolina Camus

Plant Based Canes made it their mission to inform people outside of the organization on animals, the environment and food sustainability all while providing a community for vegans and vegetarians, and it made quite the difference.

Oftentimes members taste tested vegan meals throughout Miami and on campus, and they shared the best retail locations for perspective or veteran vegans and vegetarians.“Having our very own fully plant based food spot on campus, Fresh Fusion, informs people of all the different meals and aspects the plant-based lifestyle provides,” said President Jessica Colon.

Every member raved about the fun moments with their fellow members, but the organization was about more than following a vegan or vegetarian diet, it was about educating others. Colon also said, “It’s important for even non-plant-based people to be aware of the plant based community because it is constantly growing. Even if you yourself are not plant-based, learning what your food is made out of is very beneficial.”

Plant Based Canes has motivated people to discover new foods that better appeal to plant-based lifestyles and sustainability. As they have continued to provide safe spaces for people who follow a plant-based diet, as well as people who would like to learn how to have one, the organization has truly made its place on campus and in the hearts of those students.

TELEVISION legacy

Creation and management of award winning student television productions through UMTV leaves a unique impact for the futures of aspiring broadcast journalists

UMTV boasted seven television shows including NewsVision, SportsDesk, The Culture, NewsBreak, CanesCast, UniMiami, Pulse and Off The Wire. In March, the 41st College Television Awards nominated SportsDesk and NewsVision for the Television Academy Foundation awards. SportsDesk took home the win for the news and sports category of the competition.

UniMiami was UMTV’s show en Espanol, which focused on issues related to Latinos. Senior Josh Stewart, who worked on UniMiami since his freshman year, cited his favorite project as the Special Topics segment. “I hosted for a few semesters in which I was able to speak about topics that I was passionate about that were

otherwise not discussed such as climate change and I did so in Spanish.” Throughout each show, the students hosting it would often participate in various segments to keep viewers engaged. Stewart described the show as “a table talk about topics of our choosing” and he particularly enjoyed creating his own segment titled “Esooo”. As a senior, he was proud to leave a legacy at UniMiami. “I find it super cool that a term my friends and I use on a day to day basis to emphasize something that is exciting, has been made into a segment on a show.”

Students like Stewart have been able to take advantage of UMTV to relay information while creating unique shows and segments for students and faculty alike.

UPROAR administration oversaw a diverse term dedicated to engagement

Story by Amrutha Chethikattil Design by Carolina Camus

With over 300 members and 39 Senate bills, the student government administration pursued various avenues to address student needs.

There were over 15 tabling events to promote interaction.“With a fervent commitment to social justice, equity, and community involvement, this administration has strived to maintain visibility,” said Coles. They passed two key initiatives: Legislation for Indigenous Land Acknowledgement and Indigenous Peoples Day Celebration and Advocacy for Installation of Sustainable Feminine Hygiene Products.

In addition to the external projects that were implemented on campus, there were many goals to improve upon student government itself. “Our most important contribution, however,will remain our shift to the internal culture of our organization where every member feels as though they can succeed,” concludes Coles, emphasizing the underlying principles of equity and inclusion driving the administration.

At the core, many members predict that these strides for innovation and improvement will lead to the empowerment of the next generation of the student administration and student body.

FEC aims to exhibit Cuban Culture across campus by inviting students to experience Cuban food, music, and other activities

The Federacion de Estudiantes Cubanos (FEC) grew over the years to represent the increasing number of Cuban students attending the Univeristy of Miami. The organization has focused on exposing the student body to Cuban culture through a variety of events. Many students, both Cuban and non-Cuban, have joined the organization to partake in many Cuban traditions and experience classic UM activities like sports games and homecoming with an increased sense of community.

FEC has maintained some old traditions and with most members now in person, they’ve been able to create some new ones as well. The ‘Cafecito on the Rock’ events give students the opportunity to taste Cuban coffee and pastries in between their classes while learning some fun facts about Cuba. Moreover, new events like the Domino Tournament on the Rat allowed students to practice playing a new game and compete for prizes. One tradtion that is likely to stick around is the annual formal FEC gathering where seniors are officially ‘sent off’ by receiving their membership certificates and farewell speeches.

Freshmen Michaela Torres, who was recently elected to be next years club Secretary, mentions: “Joining FEC has helped me navigate my first year on campus by giving me a family that is always there for me. Whether we are hanging out in the FEC office or attending an event, I feel at home with this group.”

Scientifica, the student-run scientific magazine, prides itself on making science accessible and enjoyable to all UM students. Although a relatively new publication, Scientifica received a great amount of attention. The staff showed a dedication to quality content, with their work covering the opioid epidemic in South Florida and the COVID-19 effects on at-risk populations in Miami. Their dedication was rewarded by winning the Silver Print General Magazine award at CSPA Crown Award 2021 in the fall. Editor Anuj Shah shared, “A lot of the stories we are reporting on have been important things happening, and it was really meaningful to see that CSPA appreciated that work.”

Scientifica also created their own original YouTube series called “Groundwork” in the fall which highlighted research being conducted across campus. Each episode followed the UM researcher as they explained their work and the progress they made. Members of Scientifica Magazine were excited to expand their writing and creativity into this new platform and digital space.

WARNING a storm

Category 5 is a spirit organization that is tasked with being the bridge between students, spirit and pride for all athletic sports

Story by Molly MacKenzie Design by Carolina Camus

As the spirit programming board on campus, Category 5’s goal as an organization was to rile students up to attend as many athletic events as possible. They did this through giveaways, social media and integrated morale-boosting game traditions for the student sections to take part in.

The executive board consisted of chairs for each sport on campus and each chair had a council committee that worked with them on promoting events for that specific sport. Junior Rohin Vaidya was one of the two basketball chairs who ran the basketball committee.

“My committee is in charge of the basketball student section giveaways and promotions, making it easy for students to go to games,” he said.

This year Category 5 focused on bringing the spirit back to the student section at basketball games. The

basketball student section was rebranded from “storm surge” to “the eye”, in addition to creating new traditions and bringing back old ones. This included singing nursery rhymes when the opposing team shot free throws and releasing a confetti cannon when our team scored their first three pointer of the game. For previous traditions, Rohin shared, “We brought back the smoke blower to the basketball student section this year and people are really excited about it.”

Part of Category 5’s purpose was to get students excited about all the campus athletic events by cultivating strong school spirit, and with the basketball team having one of its most competitive seasons yet, it was important to seize the opportunity to stir excitement and spirit for the crowds attending the events.

THRIFTING lets go

The weekly UThrift tents provide the opportunity to trade clothing with other fashion enthusiasts

Story by Shea Halpenny Design by Carolina Camus

UThrift was a student-founded organization that sold donated clothes to students to avoid contributing to putting clothes in landfills and to provide an alternative to fast fashion. UThrift was one of the most well-known student organizations as they began to integrate this environmentally-sustainable mission into everyday life on campus through a series of projects, events and collaborations.

This past year, UThrift partnered with sororities and fraternities on campus during Greek Week. A student could earn points for their sorority or fraternity by donating items, encouraging people to re-home things they would otherwise throw out. Rachel Levy, a junior and a member of the sorority Chi Omega, donated numerous bags of clothes during Greek Week. “I am glad I could not only earn my sorority points but also clean out my closet! It’s great to have a place to bring clothes where I know other people will use them,” Levy said.

UThrift also hosted their yearly fashion show on The Patio. Girls and guys alike modeled their thrifted finds to show that thrifting isn’t just beneficial for the planet, but also stylish. Jaden Kim, a junior who modeled in this year’s show, shared his opinion on the organization. “Thrifting is a great way to constantly change my style without buying too many clothes. It’s great that we have our very own thrifting right on campus!”

With partnerships with other groups on campus, social media promotion and tons of traffic at their weekly tent, UThrift brought back new and old ideas that allowed them to increase community involvement and promote sustainable fashion.

IRON ARROW ORDER OF OMEGA

WHO THEY ARE

Order of Omega Greek Honor Society was founded here at the University of Miami in 1959 by a group of outstanding Fraternity men, who felt that individuals in the Greek community should be recognized for their service to the Greek system and the University.

WHAT IT TAKES

The Purpose of Order of Omega is to recognize those fraternity men and women who have attained a high standard of leadership in interfraternity activities, to encourage them to continue along this line, and to inspire others to strive for similar conspicuous attainment; To unite outstanding fraternity men and women and create an organization which will help to mold the sentiment of the institution on questions of local and intercollegiate fraternity affairs; To bring together members of the faculty, alumni, and student members of the institution’s fraternities and sororities on a basis of mutual interest.

“One of my favorite things about UM is the large variety of clubs and student organizations to get involved with. I joined a handful of clubs my freshmen year and now I hold leadership roles in many of them. I’m part of clubs in such categories as media, community and identity. I’ve met so many friends, organized and partook in super innovative events, so it’s made my college experience really special.”

LANDON COLES

From Tallahassee, Florida Major in Political Science with minors in Business Law & Strategic Communication

What are you most proud of accomplishing at UM?

I began my university journey serving as a two-term class senator in our undergraduate student government where I unilaterally spearheaded the passage of legislation calling for an Executive Vice President of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for the University of Miami. My interest in social justice and community building led to my most consequential and meaningful work: composing the 15-point Racial Justice Plan that was ultimately adopted by the University administration; in tandem with this plan, I also submitted the Historic Name Change letter to review the various names on the University’s facilities. As an agitator for justice, these plans are the thesis of my undergraduate experience and I have every intention on carrying this work forward. In every environment I occupy, I contribute a positive attitude, strong administrative leadership and oratory skills, and quick critical thinking skills to resolve any issues presented to me. Most consequentially, I give my whole self to the task at hand.

AJIRI UZERE

From Cairo, Egypt Majors in Political Science & Psychology with a minor in Spanish

What are you most proud of accomplishing at UM?

My most proud accomplishment at the University of Miami has been serving as the Vice President of the Student Government. As vice president, I challenged myself to seamlessly incorporate mentorship, leadership development, and servant leadership into my everyday life. During my time as Vice President, I dedicated myself mentally and emotionally to improving the first-year experience on our campus. I had the privilege of overseeing a team of excellent and driven individuals who put on events such as RICE FEST and UBAZAAR. Additionally, my team and I executed several initiatives, including gathering and analyzing student feedback regarding their academic experience at the U. We also incorporated service throughout by giving back to local veterans and the Miami community at large. I improved the relationship between student government, the Office of International Students, and School Services during my time.

GRACE TENKE

From Glen Cove, New York Majors in Finance, Marketing & Management

What are you looking forward to in this new decade?

I am excited to start my first job as an Analyst at J.P. Morgan in Brickell following my graduation. I am confident that what I have learned in and out of the classroom at UM can be applied to my life in several capacities. I look forward to diving into new passions and hobbies, and hopefully traveling the world. I look forward to coming back for Homecoming every year to celebrate being a ‘Cane. I hope to stay involved with the campus community by serving in a mentor capacity to the organizations I invested so much of my time into over the years. I know that wherever I may be after college, near or far, I will always be rooting for the ‘Canes.

What will you miss the most about your time at UM? Once I graduate from UM, I know I will miss the community that exists on campus. I loved being surrounded by people who share the same passion for UM as I do.

ALI MIRZA

From New York, New York

Majors in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology with minors in Chemistry and Economics

What will you miss the most about your time at UM?

I will miss my ownership-by-constant-presence of the tables by the lake outside Starbucks, I will miss the Starbucks and Sushi Maki staff, but mostly I will miss the absolutely beautiful views of campus at 2AM when I studied too late into the night, or at 5AM when I woke up too early. I will also miss the amount of times I had an exhausting day but the sun always happened to be shining in the right ways and I always found myself elated after a few minutes by Lake Osceola.

How has UM built and shaped you?

UM gave me the perfect environment to test myself and really see how I stack up to my looking-glass self. Some people say you rise to the occasion, while others say you sink to the level of your training; I can confidently say at UM I discovered new depths of what I can do, and truly learned and indeed trained myself to make the most of any situation.

LAURA FRANCOIS

From West Palm Beach, Florida Majors in Public Health and French with minors in Chemistry and Psychology

What are you most proud of accomplishing at UM?

What I am most proud of accomplishing at UM is truly growing into myself as a leader, student, friend, sister, and more. While I always knew since arriving on the campus at UM, that I would fall deep into my passions through the many different resources and opportunities that the school provides, I would have never imagined the magnitude of a person and student leader I would transform into all while discovering the deepest and most sincerest form of sisterhood . As President of two organizations for the second consecutive year, being able to build up my organizations in the thick of a global pandemic and internal resolutions of their own, has been one of the most fulfilling experiences. Seeing the numerous awards and accolades we’ve received have truly not paled in comparison to knowing the impact my organizations have had on our individual members who look for safe spaces, places to connect with like minded students.

ANNE JEAN BAPTISTE

From West Palm Beach, Florida

Majors in Public Health & International Studies with minors in Health Management & Gender Studies

What will you miss the most about your time at UM?

I will miss the UM community the most. I have met amazing people and created a tight knit group of friends. I love how every day is an opportunity to meet people and create new connections. The diversity of individuals at UM has pushed me out of my comfort zone and have taught me a lot about the world.

How has UM built and shaped you?

I am a first-generation immigrant and college student. UM provided me with the resources and experience to become accomplished academically and professionally. I had the opportunity to be involved in various student organizations, hold leadership positions and create an amazing network. I am leaving UM with confidence, high self esteem and ready to take on the world.

OLBRINE THELUSMA

From Orlando, Florida

Majors in Motion Pictures Business & Interactive Media with minors in Africana Studies & Sociology

How has UM built and shaped you?

UM has shaped me to be an individual that can understand the complexities of each individual person at UM. It was very humbling to have half of my sophomore year and whole junior year taken away because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Being personable became one of my top priorities while being on Zoom for everything. I wanted it to seem like a screen wasn’t going to hold me back from letting people get to know me. It is easy to feel like as a college student you are the only one going through things and no one else can understand you but taking in that someone can be makes you a better human. I have been able to make lifelong friendships because of that mindset. I want people to know that I am someone who sees them for who they are as an individual. The university has a variety of people you can come across that have prepared me for the outside world. I am aware of perspective, and want to learn more about others. Being able to graduate from a university that has instilled that in me is a beautiful thing to have experienced.

GUSTAVO TOVAR

From Miami, Florida

Majors in Geological Sciences & Ecosystems Science and Policy

What are you most proud of accomplishing at UM? I think my proudest accomplish has been keeping true to myself in all of my involvements by interweaving values that are important to my life. For example, I have continuously - and sometimes even tirelessly - advocated for the environment and sought to seek solutions to mitigating a lot of the unnecessary waste that can often times occur at events on campus. In addition, I always tried to find ways to incorporate ideals of diversity, equity, and inclusion into my work and bridging the intersectionality of D.E.I. with the environment. Being able to connect these two important things in my life led me to shaping the future of the Student Government Environment & Conservation Organization (ECO). Under my direction as Chair, ECO has pushed the bounds by getting the very first ‘Land Acknowledgement’ bill passed in the Undergraduate Senate. This bill recommended that the University of Miami have a proper land acknowledgement that recognized the ancestral lands of the indigenous people that existed before.

NATHALIA TORRES

From Miami, Florida

Majors in Sociology & Criminology with minors in Health Management & Public Health

What are you most proud of accomplishing at UM?

During my time at UM, I am proud of accomplishing so much as a transfer student. As a transfer student, there isn’t much time to get involved or even change a major since it can push back the tentative graduation date. Luckily, I was able to get involved in various areas such as Orientation, Student Government, President’s 100, and Homecoming. It always brightens my day to know that students will come up to me and say they recognize me from an admissions zoom presentation, I was their tour guide, welcomed them during orientation or even made their day by just giving them their first giveaway item.

What will you miss the most about your time at UM?

The student body spirit and enthusiasm are what brings a campus to life. Every student you ask on campus says they bleed orange and green. I will miss all of the sporting events and the energy from the students. During sporting events and homecoming, we all come together as one to share our love for the University of Miami.

MARGARITA SINKO

From Korosten, Ukraine

Majors in Finance & Philosophy with a minor in Psychology

What will you miss the most about your time at UM?

I am happy to state that I will surely miss the excellent educational experiences and opportunities that I have enjoyed at UM. I truly believe that I have had the opportunity to learn from some of the most outstanding and brilliant professors. . I will definitely miss the excellent extracurricular activities available to students at UM. I had an unbelievably great time serving as the president of the Astronomy Club, Economics Club, Real Estate and Finance Association, and as the debate chair of the Ethics Society. I also cherished the opportunities I had to hear current and previous CEO’s of Fortune 500 companies share their views on a wide range of issues and concerns. I considered this aspect of my experience at UM incredible because I do not think that most college students have the opportunity to hear major leaders in business share critical reflections about what it means to be the leader of major corporations and how to deal with its unanticipated challenges.

ZACHARY DANNEY

From West Palm Beach, Florida Major in Human Resource Management

What are you most proud of accomplishing at UM? What makes me the most proud is the network of friends, peers, colleagues, mentors, and mentees I have established here at UM. Throughout my time here, I have made it a point to connect with anyone I could and the result is something better than I could have ever expected. It has made me especially happy whenever someone here has expressed to me that I have made a positive impact on their experience here at the ‘U’.

How has UM built and shaped you?

UM has shown me how important and powerful the concepts of gratitude, perspective, and community are. It was here that I became conscious of how resources to help those in need never come out of thin air, but are the result of the meticulous empathy, thought, effort, and persistence of those who are often a relatively small group of individuals. My time here has also given me a glimpse at the depth of diversity and how important it is to strive to understand those who are different than you.

MIKEIVEKA SANON

From Pembroke Pines, Florida Majors in Business Technology & Marketing with minors in Business Law & Dance

What are you most proud of accomplishing at UM? From student employee, to student life leader, to organization member, the small change and impact I have had on campus is the accomplishment I’m most proud of. I have been fortunate enough to obtain many different leadership opportunities throughout my time at Miami where I can share my love for the university with others. As a Presidents 100 ambassador some of the most rewarding interactions I’ve had have been with future canes in getting to witness them fall in love with UM. As a student and student leaders, it is not often that we give ourselves credit for the work we do in our positions, I certainly didn’t. Instead, I relish the small moments. From great start participants sharing their wonderful experiences in the programs, to the friendly faces I see in the hallways, to classmates and friends I am glad that I could have impacted them in some way, even if it is minor. I am proud of the person that I have grown to be. The lessons learned both inside and out of the classroom have truly changed me for the better.

madison CLINGER senior

Q: What are your major(s) and minor(s)?

A: I am a double major in Psychology and Criminology with a minor in Chemistry.

Q: What is your height?

A: 5’10.

Q: Why did you decide to become a Sebastian?

A: For me, Sebastian was always a symbol of campus pride and love. I just wanted to be able to share my own love and pride. I felt like there was no better way to share that with people in and out of the University than by being Sebastian.

Q: What was the tryout process like?

A: They go over the entire tryout process in the info session, but it is broken into a few parts with dancing, improv, skits, game day things, and an interview.

Q: What does it feel like to be under the costume?

A: Hot! It was weird that nobody could see me but I could see everyone else and how happy they were to see Sebastian.

Q: What was your favorite event to attend as a Sebastian?

A: I love going to any events that have children, especially charity events. I am a huge advocate for giving back and I think it’s super important to make sure our youth are being prioritized. My favorite sporting event besides all of the football games was the FSU basketball game when Dave Portnoy came and the entire Watsco Center was sold out.

Q: What did you gain/learn from this experience?

A: I learned to take things as they come. This experience has taught me to be more outgoing and to just go for it. I used to be one to hold back and hesitate but through Seb, I learned that life is too short to wait.

Q: Did you face any challenges as a female Sebastian?

A: I did face a few challenges as a female Sebastian. I experienced a few people who were disappointed to see me saying ‘where is the guy’ or ‘you’re not Sebastian,’ and ‘I don’t think you can handle this event,’ without even seeing what I can do in suit. It felt like a constant game of having to prove myself to others. People forget that there is a person in the suit and sometimes can be a bit too aggressive or handsy, especially when alcohol is involved. I think I got the brunt end of it compared to the boys, but we all definitely experienced it.

nathan DUMONT

What are your major(s) and minor(s)?

I am majoring in Creative Advertising and a minoring

Why did you decide to become a Sebastian?

I decided to try out to be Sebastian because I thought it would be a crazy and unique experience, and just to try

What was the tryout process like?

The tryout process was really quick and simple. I did a dance, a skit, and reacted to some real life scenarios. I was pretty confident I was going to get it so it all came

How long have you been a Sebastian?

I was a Sebastian for 3 years, starting sophomore year. What does it feel like to be under the costume?

Underneath the costume it’s very hot, sweaty and hard to see, but you get used to it. When you’re in the suit you can’t help but transform into a character and become Sebastian. There is a unique behind-the-scenes perspective that comes with being Sebastian and there is nothing else like it. No one knows who’s under the costume, all they see is Sebastian and that’s what I always hope to accomplish when performing.

What was your favorite event to attend as a Sebastian?

My favorite event as Sebastian was definitely March Madness. I got to travel to Chicago with the team and witness UM sports history as our Men’s basketball team

What did you gain/learn from this experience?

Through this experience I learned a lot about the university and the city of Miami as a whole. I was able to experience every part of Miami and truly learn about the impact UM has on the South Florida community. I got to see and experience things that most students don’t get to and that is something that I will cherish forever.

SCHLOEMANN senior jake

Q: What are your major(s) and minor(s)?

A: Major in Sports Administration with a minor in Business Law. I am enrolling in law school this fall.

Q: What is your height?

A: 5’10.

Q: Why did you decide to become a Sebastian?

A: My mom sent me the information for the info session and tryouts thinking it could be some fun. I had some free time so I stopped by the info session. At the info session, I realized I could be a good fit and thought it would be awesome. I tried out and the rest is history.

Q: What was the tryout process like?

A: My tryout definitely stood out from the rest. The process consists of an info session. At the tryout you wear the suit, perform a 1 minute skit you prepare yourself, a 1 minute dance to a random song, miscellaneous game day activities such as a T-shirt toss, football runout, spellout, and more. Lastly, you get out of the suit and go back for an interview with the people making the decision. My tryout is infamous because it was my first time putting the head on, so I put it on a little wrong, which made it very hard to see. Due to this, and the tryout being on the volleyball court during volleyball season, I actually ran into the volleyball net and clotheslined myself. Luckily, they found this funny, and appreciated the way I got back up and continued to perform, so I got a spot on the team.

Q: What does it feel like to be under the costume?

A: It is hot under the suit, so a lot of sweat. Many people view it as putting on some sort of act when you are in the suit, but we see it as the opposite. Besides us, absolutely no one knows who is under there, and that anonymity allows us to really let our own personality shine, sort of like singing at the top of your lungs when you’re in the car alone, although you wouldn’t with people in the car. It is more of a happy accident that our personalities reflect what people expect of Sebastian.

Q: What did you gain/learn from this experience?

A: Being a Seb has taught me more than I could ask for, but the ability to work with others stands out far above the rest. From essentially managing over 5 schedules at once when we work out who takes what events, to getting a handful of people to represent the same persona without having a difference noticeable to outsiders, this job would be impossible if we were not able to maintain incredible teamwork.

SPELL IT OUT FOR ME To celebrate a touchdown made by 'Canes football, Sebastian takes center field and performs the C-A-N-E-S spell-out to generate crowd noise and excitement.

CLOSING

A new academic year at UM brings a wave of change. Freshmen and transfer students are welcomed with open arms, and seniors are sent off to graduate. Though this year must come to an end, the memories created along the way will always be remembered. The lessons and friendships ‘Canes made will live on, both on campus and in their hearts forever. As we reflect, we remember how great it is to be a Miami Hurricane.

WILLIAMS

To our daughter Jaya, You possess a spirit and drive within you that is impossible to stop. We are so proud of you for graduating from the University of Miami! You were part of a historically trying time (The COVID-19 Pandemic), but you persevered and fought through complex roadblocks along the way. During your time at Miami, you had many amazing Journalism and Sports Administration professors who taught you the skills needed for your future endeavors. In the end, you accomplished such incredible success! We loved watching your on-air broadcasts and the packages you created for many of the UMTV Shows. You were also a dynamic, energetic, and hard-working member of The Hurricanettes dance team. Your performances were electric! We look forward to seeing you soar as you continue to pursue your goals and dreams. Thank you for being YOU and making your mom and dad’s hearts smile. Continue to shine.

Love, Mom and Dad

FROM THE EDITOR

The 2022 Ibis Yearbook was put together by a dedicated team of staffers who worked countless hours to produce this 416 page yearbook. Through thick and thin, the 2022 staff worked together and collaborated to keep a piece of UM alive.

I would like to thank my family, friends and colleagues for always believing in me and keeping me grounded. It would not have been possible for me to lead this incredible staff without their help and guidance.

I will always be grateful to all those at the University of Miami who answered countless emails and assisted us through the struggles of gathering content in a post-pandemic world and university.

Finally, my most humble thanks to Professor Stano, the Board of Student Publications and those at Balfour Publishing for your crucial role in the completion of the Ibis. Thank you for being the backbone of this book, and for guiding me throughout my first year as the Editor-in-Chief of this award winning and highly regarded publication.

I hope that this book serves as a piece of this university’s history. It is a time capsule of memories, meant for generations of ‘Canes to look back on and remember how great it is to be a Miami Hurricane. It has been an honor and a pleasure to oversee the production of the 96th volume of the Ibis, and I anxiously look forward to being your Editor-in-Chief again next year.

Sincerely,

CAROLINA CAMUS

IN THE end

Despite many of the obstacles thrown at the world during the past few years, ‘Canes always come together to overcome. Through the pandemic, the university and surrounding community came together to unite. Today, administration, faculty, staff and students are stronger than ever. History is made every day at UM, and rules are being rewritten as the university introduced Madison Clinger as the first female to wear the Sebastian costume.

FLIGHT taking

As the academic year comes to an end, new opportunities arise for ‘Canes all over the world. Graduation is not the end of a chapter, rather it is the beginning of one. Hundreds of students graduate from UM every semester, each taking a leap and spreading their wings as they collect their diplomas. Walking across the stage at graduation is the beginning of the rest of their lives, and the hurricane spirit will live in them wherever they go.

GUEST OF HONOR Sebastian the Ibis makes an appearance at all graduation ceremonies. Sebastian has his own graduation regalia that he dons every ceremony. Photo by Mike Montero

During football games, Sebastian the Ibis takes center stage after ‘Canes make touchdown. He performs the C-A-N-E-S spell out in celebration of the seven points that ‘Canes football acquires. He encourages the crowd to perform the spell out, which motivates athletes to perform better.

Southern suns and sky blue water, Smile upon you, Alma Mater; Mistress of this fruitful land, With all knowledge at your hand, Always just, to honor true All our love we pledge to you. Alma Mater, Stand forever, On Biscayne’s wondrous shore.

COLOPHON

The Ibis is the official yearbook of the University of Miami and is staffed entirely by students. Its editorial content does not necessarily reflect the views of the University of Miami. It is a fall delivery yearbook that covers the period between June 2021 and June 2022. Students were identified by year at the time of page production.

The 2022 Ibis is 416 full-color pages with a press run of 2,500. It features seven sections: lifestyles, academics, sports, greeks, organizations, people and closing. All pages were printed on 100 pound glossy enamel stock.

Apple Macintosh OS X computers using Adobe Creative Cloud software (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and Bridge) were used to design and submit all pages. Pages were submitted electronically via Balfour Tools Adobe extension.

Student portraits within the people section were taken by Lifetouch Inc. on campus by Mike Ellis. Additional student portraits were submitted directly by students through studio.balfour.com EZPix. Current event photos in the lifestyles section were provided by MCT Campus/Tribune Content Agency. Additional guidance was provided by Dean Steven Priepke, Dr. Nick Rau, Dr. Jennifer Rau, Vice President Patricia Whitely and Demi Rafuls.

The Ibis holds membership in Columbia Scholastic Press Association, Associated Collegiate Press and College Media Association.

Voltage, Roboto and Alternate Gothic served as the major fonts. Headlines varied between all fonts at a range of point sizes and weights. Subheads were set in Roboto Medium at 13 pt. on 14 pt. leading. Body copy was set in Robot Regular at 10 pt. on 12 pt. leading. Bylines were in Roboto Bold at 7 pt. on 10 pt. leading. Captions were Roboto Regular at 8 pt. over 10 pt. leading. Photography credits were in Roboto Italic at 7 pt. over 10 pt. leading. Folio sections and topics were in Alternate Gothic Regular respectively at 11 pt. over 11.5 pt. leading. The folio page numbers were in Alternate Gothic Regular respectively at 13 pt. over 11.5 pt. leading. The 2022 Ibis was printed by Balfour Publishing Company in Dallas, Texas.

The cover was designed by Giselle Spicer, and the cover graphics were embossed and UV varnished. The endsheets were designed by Carolina Camus and printed in full color.

BIRDS EYE VIEW A satellite image of the entire University of Miami Coral Gables campus. The campus is located on 239-acres of land at the heart of a residential community. It is built around man-made Lake Osceola, and the campus houses over 5,000 students. When UM opened in 1926, the first building constructed was the Solomon G. Merrick building, which still stands today. Photo courtesy of Getty Images
