A sophomore’s note to the class of 2021

BY MADDIE LOGUE Staff Writer Dear Incoming Freshmen, As a sophomore, I do know a thing or two about surviving your freshman year of college. You’re probably on Pinterest right now, pinning your favorite dorm room decorations or Facebook messaging your future roommate. Move in day will be here before you know it and I would like offer you some free advice as you embark on your journey of being a freshmen. Hopefully with these helpful tips you will be on your way to a successful freshman year.

Try new things.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Loquitur accepts letters to the editors. They should be less than 500 words, usually in response to a current issue on Cabrini University’s campus or community area and are printed as space permits. Name, phone number and address should be included with submissions for verification purposes. All letters to the editors must be e-mailed to loquitur@ cabrini.edu

Everyone is in the same boat and for most people, this is the first time being away from their parents and being independent.

It is important to really put yourself out there and step out of your comfort zone.

High school is over. It is time to try something new. Find a club or activity that interests you and you will be able to meet new people and make friends.

The first year of college, I became a student ambassador for the Office of Admissions and I participated in Cabrini theatre.

Within the first week of rehearsals, I became best friends with everyone in the cast.

It is okay to be homesick.

It is completely normal to miss your parents, siblings and even your dog the first semester. I remember calling my mom and dad daily to check in and talk about my day.

It is overwhelming the first week of college because everything is different from high school. Do not feel embarrassed about admitting you’re homesick; everyone feels this way.

Do not procrastinate.

You will receive a syllabus your first week and have a series of assignments that you will complete during the semester. Make sure you prioritize your work and keep track of due dates.

My best advice would be to complete the work as soon as you are assigned it. I repeat: do not procrastinate in college. Waiting until the last minute will only make your stress

level increase and work quality decrease.

College is going to be stressful, but if you hand in your work on time, you will be stress free.

Breathe.

Live in the moment. Everyone has different expectations for their first year of college.

Whether you’re hoping to be valedictorian or just planning to do your best, remember that you are only here for four years. Enjoy the time you have.

The best advice I can give you is that these are the best four years of your life, so make them count. Time flies by faster than you would think and pretty soon, you will be a sophomore giving advice to freshmen.

You are there to work, but it is okay to take a break and enjoy your college experience.

Go in with a open mind and always say yes to the opportunities that present themselves. I hope these tips allow you to have a successful and memorable freshmen year. Good luck to the class of 2021!

Meet Cabrini’s new dean for School of Natural Sciences

BY LAURA SANSOM Perspectives Editor Staff, faculty and students walking around campus this summer may have noticed a new face in the School of Natural Sciences and Allied Health. This is Dr. Richard J. Thompson, who was appointed the dean, and began working on July 1. Thompson took the place of Dr. Kimberly Boyd who served as Interim Dean over the year and a half before him.

Boyd will continue to serve as Associate Dean of Student Success as Thompson serves as the Dean.

Thompson was born and raised central Florida and went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in astronomy from the University of Florida as well as his doctorate in astronomy and astrophysics from Penn State. He was on the faculty of McMurry University in Abilene, Texas for 11 years as a physics professor and chair of the physics department. He then was the dean of the School of Mathematics and Sciences at The College of Saint Rose in Albany, New York for 12 years.

Thompson believes that this experience will help him as he adjusts to his new role.

“I do have a lot of experience, both as faculty and as a dean, at institutions similar to Cabrini and I believe this experience will come in handy as I learn to do my job over the coming year,” Thompson said.

After so many years of previous experience, Dr. Thompson was ready for some changes and new challenges. He saw in an ad that Cabrini was hiring and decided to go for it.

“It had a lot of the things I was looking for— the opportunity to build new programs, hire faculty, work on international recruiting and be involved with fundraising,” Thompson said.

Like many students and staff, Thompson was drawn in by Cabrini’s atmosphere and found it to be the right fit for him.

“When I visited campus, I got a really good vibe from the community,” Thompson said.

“It just seemed like the place I wanted to move to.”

Throughout the summer, Thompson prepared for the upcoming semester. He set up his office in Iadarola Center room 312B. Decorating and getting comfortable wasn’t all he

did. One of the most important things he had to do was meet Cabrini’s faculty and staff. Especially important was the staff of the School of Natural Sciences and Allied Health.

“I’ve met most of the staff and faculty and I’m very excited to be working with them,” Thompson said. “It really looks like a great team!”

With his knowledge of the staff and academic programs, Thompson remained optimistic about the fall 2017 semester and working at Cabrini in the years ahead.

“I’m very excited about the future of Cabrini. Our enrollment numbers are very good,” Thompson said. “The programs in my school are growing and I’m looking forward to helping continue this trend.”

Cabrini University students celebrate their next step into adulthood in front of the mansion.

Graduating class of 2018 ready for the real world

BY CARMEN FRIAS Staff Writer

Now that summer of 2017 has ended and Cabrini’s graduating class of 2018 is bringing in their upcoming and last year with positivity, excitement and drive.

Upcoming seniors have spent all their lives waiting to call themselves college graduates and the year has finally arrived.

Although some are nervous and anxious about important decisions that will be made during this final year, most are taking this last year to the top and finishing their college experience out strong.

“I’m most excited to be a college graduate. I also can’t wait to see what’s out there and live

my best life,” upcoming senior Brittney Palmer said.

Following the stage of excitement comes the stage of realization and preparation. Upcoming seniors have not only been enjoying their summer but dipping their toes into the professional world.

Seniors spent their junior year researching internships and jobs that will build up their professional experience and knowledge. Now having the opportunity to further practice what they have learned on the field.

“This summer I have taken on two internships,” upcoming senior Stephanie Victoria said.

“These internships have taught me the reality behind working a 9-5 job.”

Prospective senior Katie Murphy is looking forward to becoming a more engaged community member this year.

Murphy said, “I plan to get involved with the writing scene and its people— attending readings, book signings— to make myself known in the community.”

Seniors have worked their way to finally being college graduates.

Graduating does not just involve having the correct amount of credits or enough professional experience; by the end of the year, seniors must prove what they have learned by embarking into the real world.

“I would love to get a job after graduation and really put what I learned at Cabrini to use,” Palmer said.

Whether deciding between Convergence and Honors Convergence or deciding between methods in which to present Capstone projects, seniors have been thinking and will continue to think of the best ways thay can expose the skills they have learned.

“This summer, I’ve been mapping out my senior thesis: a linked short story collection,” Murphy said.

Seniors have grown to become professional adults but also inspiring mentors, teaching others the skills and tips needed to successfully graduate college and never forgetting the memorable moments and accomplishments that have followed and will follow each individual’s journey.

“The advice I would give upcoming seniors is: enjoy your time in college now, because time really does fly. And take pride in all your accomplishments thus far and those to come,” Palmer said.

Live mindfully to avoid the freshman fifteen

BY ANGELINA MILLER Editor-in-Chief

In the morning, it is french toast sticks, waffles and sugary cereals. Chicken nuggets, nachos and buckets of french fries all follow in the afternoon. In the evening, it is the fresh pizza, hamburgers and the smell of stir fry that fills the hallway leading into the cafeteria. Then, mozzarella sticks, quesadillas and milkshakes await as a cure to every student’s late night stressors.

Yes, every day from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., this extended variety of foods and so much more is all available at CAVS Corner, Cabrini’s all-you-care-to-eat style dining experience. In other words, no matter what time of day it is, there is always an alluring scent or sight of some kind of comfort food.

These foods are not only irresistible for college students, but also highly convenient. Reaching for a hamburger, a piece of pizza or a plate of french fries is generally the go-to cafeteria course of action for a student in a time crunch.

While this is something that affects almost the entire student body, it most prominently comes into play with incoming freshman students. With the overwhelming adjustments of living away from home, beginning new classes and making new friends, avoiding mindless stress eating can seem basically impossible.

However, at Cabrini, the typical freshman student that is without a car, low on spending money and doomed to a meal plan can actually maintain a healthy diet and avoid the “freshman fifteen.” In CAVS Corner, living off of a meal plan does not have to equal an unhealthy amount of weight gain.

Hiding within the Grill, Pizza, Hometown, Action and Sandwich stations of CAVS Corner, is a bright light called Mindful— a healthy eating option that focuses on transparent ingredients and satisfying portions of delicious food.

At Mindful, there is low fat yogurt, granola, mixed fruit and tea in the morning. Different sandwiches, grill items or salads that are less than or equal to 550 calories are available in the afternoon for lunch. In the evening, there are different trans-fat free 600 calorie dinner plates, made up of protein, starches, vegetables and fruit.

“If you want to have a healthy lifestyle, you have to have more self control,” said Tracy Eells, the general manager of Cabrini’s Sodexo dining staff. “There are healthy things to eat, you just have to look for it.”

If the Mindful station does not have quite what a student is looking for, CAVS Corner has a number of other healthy options. For breakfast, there is oatmeal, cage free scrambled eggs, freshly made omelets when requested, whole wheat toast and bagels, yogurt and granola for yogurt parfaits, fresh mixed fruit, grab and go fruits and more.

With a little thought, a student could be having a bowl of oatmeal with drizzled honey on a whole wheat bagel with peanut butter and a sliced banana. Another option is, a small portion of scrambled eggs with whole wheat toast and an apple or a banana. These could all be paired with a cup of water, fresh tea or hot coffee.

For lunch, there is always the salad bar and the sandwich bar with a variety of healthy options to be creative with. While the contents of the salad bar change every two days, components that are always guaranteed include romaine and spring mix lettuce, vegetables, some type of whole grain protein and an assortment of different dressings.

For a more substantial option, the sandwich bar provides healthy sandwich ingredients such as turkey or tuna, whole wheat bread or a spinach wrap and lettuce and tomato.

These are just a few simple sandwich components that a student could mix and match with when in search of a clean yet filling lunch. At the end of each day, a student’s best bet for a healthy dinner basically follows the same

ANGELINA MILLER/EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Give your day a healthy start with a bagel topped with peanut butter and bananas. guidelines as lunch. Mindful, the sandwich bar or the salad bar should always be able to provide one with a clean, healthy and satisfying meal.

Whether a student may want to lose weight already gained in college, avoid gaining weight, attempt a cleaner diet or approach gaining healthy weight or muscle mass, it is important for them to know that it is possible; however, one should also remember that living a healthier lifestyle is not about eating less, it is about eating more of the right things.

As humans, we should never be restrictive with food.

It is important to eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full. In comparison to gas in a car, food is fuel to our bodies as humans. It is just up to a person to choose what they will fuel their body with.

One could eat three meals a day with small, healthy snacks in between, or six small meals a day. Overall, aside from food, having a very healthy well-being can come from a balance of being active for at least 30 minutes a day, keeping hydrated by the hour and sleeping at least seven hours each night.

Rise of Hispanics in college

BY ALLIYAH MADURO Staff Writer

The Hispanic community throughout the United States has grown drastically within the past 10 years. According to the United States census bureau, the number of Hispanics added to the nation’s population between 2014 and 2015 was more than a million.

Growing up in a Hispanic household and community has made me realize that we all can succeed no matter where we come from. Many Hispanics live in poverty; college is often not an option for us.

We have immigrant parents and grandparents who come with nothing in their pockets. Most of these parents do not have a high school degree to even have a good paying job. That is why more than half of us live off of government assistance.

I was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I have witnessed some of my middle school and high school classmates having to choose between work or going to school.

Pew Research reported that the dropout rate of young Hispanics went from 32 percent in 2000 to 12 percent in 2014, which is still higher than any other minority group.

Most hispanic teenagers I knew did not have a parental figure in their life. They had to provide everything on their own, which is why so many had to choose working over getting a college education.

Some would even drop out because they lost hope of being successful or going to college.

Those people who did have parents to lean on still were not able to attend college. Why? Because parents would have to work about two to three jobs to provide their kids with a home, food and clothes.

The income still would not be enough to send them off to college.

As the years have passed, more and more Hispanics are graduating high school and attending college. According to Pew Research, as of 2014, 35 percent of Hispanics were enrolled in a two or fouryear college.

I attended Esperanza Academy’s college decision day back in May of 2017.

The school is located in North Philadelphia and the majority of the population is Hispanic.

As I attended that special event, I could not believe that more than 30 Hispanic young men and women had fully committed to attend a university in the fall of 2017.

To many, it may seem that 30 is very few, but to us Hispanics, it is more than enough to mean a difference.

It makes us proud because we come from homes where we have higher education than our elder family members. The numbers on those statistics are a reminder of not just where we were but it is not where we will go. No matter how high or low those numbers are, we will continue to work hard and succeed.

KAITLYN D’AMBROSIO/LIFETYLES EDITOR

The amount of people in the Hispanic community graduating from high school increased by 20% between 2000 and 2014 and continues to increase as the years pass.

Some people are the first generation in their family to attend even a semester of college, yet alone get a complete college education. It helped me realized how fast the Hispanic community is growing all around the world.

No matter where you come from or what race you are, always remember: “Yes, you can.” Better yet, remember: “Sí, se puede!”

“Would you mind taking our picture?”

BY MICHELLE GUERIN Staff Writer

The words: “Would you mind taking our picture” asked by a stranger in Disney World started my hobby back in 2004. I knelt on one knee and tried getting the baby’s attention while pressing my finger continuously on the shutter button.

Starting with a disposable camera, I evolved from little digital cameras, iPhone and, finally, I saved up enough money and bought a refurbished Canon T6 in November of 2016.

MICHELLE GUERIN/STAFF WRITER

Keith Blassingale, a guard for the Cabrini men’s basketball team, was one of the first players Guerin photographed.

Playing around and asking friends to take their portraits, I met a freshman at Cabrini that transferred from Goldey Beacom College and was going to play basketball for Cabrini. With him being a shooting guard, I asked if I could take action pictures of him, just for fun. I started an Instagram account to post my favorite portraits and the pictures from basketball games.

More of the boys got ahold of their pictures from my google files and they started posting my images on their own social media platforms. Towards the spring, senior Amber Dietrich asked if I could come to a softball game to take pictures of the team and also headshots of the other seniors.

My Instagram started to grow gradually with pictures and followers.

I was approached by senior Meghan Horn in the spring of 2017, who asked if I could take her graduation photos. Never before did I ever feel like my work was good until a senior asked for their pictures taken.

Soon after her, I took graduation photos for six additional students, including Amber Dietrich. Rising seniors continuously came up to me, praising me and telling me to reserve a spot for photoshoots now for them.

I never thought I would get complimented and recognized by a little hobby until my freshman year at Cabrini University.

I was told by a family member that it is not about the quality of the camera but the eye of the photographer and that I was blessed with that eye.

MICHELLE GUERIN/STAFF WRITER

Meghan Horn, Class of 2017, contacted Guerin to take her graduation photos.

MICHELLE GUERIN/STAFF WRITER

People started becoming interested in Guerin’s photography through her Instagram page.

Going to so many softball and basketball games was first to take photos for my own benefit, but the hobby helped me create great friendships and memories. My favorite pictures to take are when people are not looking at the camera and they are showing their real emotions or showing concentration.

My hobby helped me not only make friends but made a mark on my name for myself on campus. I cannot wait to see where my once was small hobby takes me to a school full of opportunity.

Bold Predicitions and Hot Takes

BY JOHN WILLIAMS, RYAN BRONG Sports Editors

NFL: The Philadlphia Eagles win the NFC East and trade Michael Kendrick for a draft position in order to select Saquon Barkley from Penn State.

Brong: After an excellent offseason for the Eagles, filling holes in the team including the trade to aquire the young talented cornerback Ronald Darby from the Bills and giving second year gunslinger Carson Wentz new weapons including wideout Alshon Jeffery. I think the Eagles go 11-5 and win the NFC East. They will then look to replace LaGarrette Blount who was signed to a one-year deal.

And with Mychel Kendricks being outcasted in Jim Schwartz’s defensive scheme, he could be an asset in a trade to aquire the draft position to pick arguably the best running back in college football, Penn State star Saquon Barkley.

NHL: Flyers’ first round pick Nolan Patrick plays less than 40 NHL games in 17-18.

Williams: Nolan Patrick was a known injury risk entering the draft but the Flyers took him anyway. If Patrick can stay healthy, he’s worth the risk because he is a dynamic forward who can make a tremendous impact in all three zones. He had abdominal surgery in mid June. He should be good to go by training camp, but the injury bug that’s bit him growing up could bite again at any moment.

NBA: T’Wolves reach the Western Conference Finals Brong: After making the blockbuster deal of the summer to steal Jimmy Butler to reunite him with the coach who drafted him, Tom Thibideau, an exciting Minnesota team makes a drastic leap to one of the top teams in the Western Conference. With a great core of young stars Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns, and the addition of Butler, the Wolves should be able to secure the four or five seed in the West, but will fall short to the loaded Warriors in the finals.

MLB: Astros are going to win the World Series Williams: Everyone is talking about the Los Angeles Dodgers but how about the Houston Astros? They lead the MLB in runs, hits, home runs, RBIs, batting average and on-base percentage.

While their pitching has ben suspect at times, they do have an ace in Dallas Kuechel who could pitch with anybody. While the Dodgers have looked unstopable in the regular season, there has to be concern about their starters’ past efforts in the postseason.

One thing is for sure: if these two teams meet up in October, another seven game World Series may be on the horizon.

Should Division I athletes be paid by their schools?

BY JAMES KELLY Staff Writer

College, for most people, is a wonderful experience where a person gets an education in preparation of his future; however, there is a small percentage who sacrifice the college experience: Division I athletes.

These athletes spend 12 months of the year working on their craft while having to balance the difficulty of college courses.

Universities should be paying these college athletes for everything they do for their schools.

College athletes who play on ESPN, Fox, CBS and other television stations bring their school publicity, revenue and pride for wearing their colors. In 2016, more than 20 universities made over a 100 million dollars in annual revenue from their athletic departments, with the top school, Texas A&M University, making nearly 193 million, according to data collected from USA Today and the U.S. Department of Education. Colleges benefit from these athletes for the short amount of time and then move onto the next athlete.

These players are bringing in massive amounts of revenue for these colleges while these players are receiving nothing in return. The argument disputing my point of view is that these athletes are receiving a free education.

This argument is invalid because athletes at many colleges, like football players at Alabama, aren’t there receiving an education. The only reason many are there is to play football and bring money for the university. A study conducted at the

CORALINE PETTINE/WRITING MANAGING EDITOR

The universities with the highest annual revenue from their athletic departments, according to data collected from USA Today and the US Department of Education.

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2014 found that not only were athletes not receiving an education, but 60% of football and basketball players could not even read above the eighth-grade level.

I know how financially difficult college can get. College athletes have school and their respective sport to balance, as well as maintaining some sort of financial stability.

Many college athletes have initiated this topic as they know how tough it really is from a firsthand experience. It’s tough on them physically, mentally and financially.

Universities are benefiting from these players, but many of the players aren’t really gaining anything from these universities.

Coaches get very hefty bonuses for bringing their school a national championship, but the players are the ones practicing, going to the gym and working out every day to win that championship.

These players often sacrifice their time because being a collegiate athlete means that sport is the main focus. These men and women don’t have free time to hang out with their friends or study for an uncoming exam.

The NHL might be the world’s best sports league

BY JOSEPH JOWETT Staff Writer

Hockey might be one of those sports that most people can look down upon the same way that Americans look down on futbol across the pond.

These same people may turn to the National Basketball Association or the National Football League instead and claim them to be the best, when in fact, it is the National Hockey League.

Allow me to explain.

First of all, the NHL has a lot of diversity and sees that nearly all professional hockey players are included and can make fans from all over the world cheer for their favorite players. According to a study by the Sports Network, nearly 50 percent of players are Canadian, about 25 percent are American and the rest consist of Russians, Czechs, Finnish and other diversities.

All of this diversity makes sure that the NHL brings in new players every year.

Speaking of new players, the NHL draft might be the best in America. The NBA draft is too short, the NFL draft is boring after the first round and the

MLB draft is 50 (yes, 50) rounds long. For the NHL, draft fans in the arena can see what is going within each of the team’s war

assignments before the last day of classes. This makes it Christmas Day for NHL fans, because the NHL’s stars are always constantly

CORALINE PETTINE/WRITING MANAGING EDITOR

The NHL is one of the most diverse sports league league in the world, accoridng to the Sports Network. rooms because all of the NHL’s franchises are situated on the floor of the arena and fans can see drafts and trades be dealt with.

Which brings me to the NHL trade deadline. The trade deadline is the NHL’s equivalent to a college student completing

on the move, unlike leagues such as the NFL, where players are rarely traded, unless they are an underachieving player.

Fighting between teams is not uncommon within the NHL. Also, if you were to ask any hockey fan, no matter where they

are, they will agree that speed kills. I am not talking about drugs here. No, I am talking about the constant movement of players in the sport and the league. All of this speed in the sport can cause a lot of intensity and will occasionally cause players to run into each other and maybe even start fights with each other, which brings me to the rivalries in the league.

Some of the most famous rivalries include the one between the Montreal Canadiens and the Boston Bruins, two teams that have existed for nearly a hundred years. There is also the battle of Pennsylvania, between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Additionally, all three California teams hate each other— the Kings, Ducks and Sharks, which is a rivalry I like to call the: Battle of the Three Armies. Rivalries bring up the intensity in the sport and makes everything very entertaining and fun to watch.

For all of these reasons, from the draft to the rivalries, I find these explanations valid enough to show you why I believe the NHL is the best sports league in the world.
