Advice from a former freshman: Change is ok

by MARYIA SPIRYDONAVA Managing Editor

Matthew Doto

The Torch Bearers is a large cast aluminum statue representing one generation passing its knowledge onto the next.

A year can go by in a blink of an eye, especially when it’s a year filled with endless change like freshmen year of college typically is. I have been asked so many times, “What was your favorite part of college? What advice do you have?” by incoming freshmen. Of course there are a hundred different pieces of advice I could share. Yet, I think most of them are irrelevant. Everybody has different experience.

The most important thing that I can say is don’t come into freshman year with a set-in-stone plan.

Go with the flow and accept the changes that come your way.

One reason life is worth living is because of the uncertainty; the same goes for college. Your major could change and that is alright.

You might come into Stevens thinking of participating in the co-op program and then decide to simply get experience through internships. Or perhaps you walk into orientation captivated with one specific club and you realize your interests lie somewhere else. If things don’t go according to your plan, embrace that. Life has a funny way of working out

and will probably bring you into a better place than you expected to end up.

Honestly, there are many ways your freshman year can go, just enjoy it. Take as many pictures as you can to remember every moment, just don’t be an observer in your own life. You want to reach a perfect balance of documenting your year but also actually enjoying it. Don’t be a stranger in your own life. You want to be able to look back and have stories to tell and think back on memories that make you smile.

Things will happen the way they are supposed to. Don’t be upset if things are different from what you expected. I have heard many mixed opinions from friends about their freshman year experience. Everyone enjoyed it and had made memories. Yet, there were friends that were ecstatic about where they ended up and that freshman year was the best thing that ever happened and there were friends who thought college was a challenging time and hated many parts of it. Still, both sides lived their experiences and had stories to tell and didn’t regret anything.

Just let go and enjoy the ride, let the Stevens tide take you to your destination.

Fall 2016 ushers in multiple campus improvements

by OLIVIA SCHREIBER Staff Writer

For anyone who has stepped onto Stevens campus this summer, it appears as if every building, paved road, or flower bed is getting some extra attention.

Students, old and new, will be benefitting from these numerous campus improvements come the fall semester.

Among the many ongoing projects, perhaps the most anticipated is the completion of the Stevens Gatehouse refurbishment. For those who can recall, the gatehouse, which is home to Stevens Campus Police, was damaged in April 2015 after an eventful rain and wind storm. Robert Maffia, Vice President for Facilities and Campus Operations, recalls walking out the doors of Babbio when a four foot by three foot portion of the tower fell out of the façade. “I was actually with our façade consultant for the Babbio building repairs,” said Maffia. “By coincidence, I had an engineer specializing in façades when the damage occurred to the gatehouse.”

Maffia expects that the gatehouse be completed by August 15, just two weeks before students report for classes. “There were many steps involved in the

repairs,” said Maffia. “We needed to have structural engineers make sure it was safe for our Campus Police and we also needed to have architectural preservationists give specifications on the repairs.” The gatehouse, which was erected in the 1830s, was no simple project. Maffia noted that in order to make the proper repairs, photos had to be taken of specific stones to ensure that they were placed in the correct position when reassembling the walls.

“When we made the repairs, we started seeing other areas that were compromised,” said Maffia.

“It was our opportunity to make the necessary repairs along with the tower.”

Maffia is also excited to note the recent improvements to the Schaeffer Athletic Complex. “We noticed that the concession stand was not getting a lot of action, and we weren’t pleased with the use of the space,” said Maffia.

Although it has been somewhat inconvenient entering the building via the North entrance below the bleachers, students will be pleased to see the energy-efficient LED lighting and plentiful seating space in the lobby of the center.

“The space will be more inviting and a place where students can just crash and do some studying,” said Maffia. He expects these im-

provements to be complete before the beginning of the semester.

There are also numerous improvements and additions within the academic buildings. Lisa DeMarco, Project Manager, has been responsible for overseeing the addition of the second Hanlon Financial Laboratory in the Babbio Center as well as the renovations in the Edwin A. Stevens building and Morton 203 Art Studio.

“There has been significant growth in the financial department,” said DeMarco. “We wanted to accommodate more students, so there need [for another lab] was there.”

The second Hanlon lab will feature state-of-the-art technology, but will match the colors and finishes of the original lab located on the fourth floor. “The idea is to still run the same courses that already occur in Hanlon 1,” said DeMarco. “The growth [in the department] will follow.”

The second Hanlon lab is expected to be complete by August 26. “There have been no set backs at this point in time,” DeMarco remarked. “The contractor has been working extremely well with everyone here.”

In addition to the Hanlon Lab, DeMarco has also spearheaded the improvements to several EAS classrooms, including 229, 229A,

231, and 330. Most of the improvements are cosmetic, however EAS 330 will have a new orientation, with five rows of fixed seating, large whiteboard space, and a whiteboard capture camera, which, according to DeMarco captures whatever information is on the whiteboard and “throws” it onto the other walls for students to see at all angles.

Morton 203, the Visual Arts and Technology student haven, will also be getting some revitalization this summer. According to DeMarco, the heating system has gone airborne, allowing space for a butcher-block counter tops and versatile, moveable work stations. A new lighting system will also allow students to work in “zones,” therefore allowing multiple types of lighting to be on at one time.

In terms of energy efficiency, DeMarco and Maffia are pleased with Stevens’ efforts. All renovated classrooms are installed with occupancy sensors and highefficiency LED fixtures in an effort to use less energy. According to Maffia, Stevens was recently awarded a Silver Star award by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education, a notable achievement for a university that is new to the organization’s recognition list.

There has also been a major addition to one area on campus that all students have known at one point in their career: Pierce Dining Hall. Lauren Devine, Marketing Specialist, is excited to announce the anticipated opening of the Pierce coffee café.

According to Devine, Colonel John’s will no longer be selling grab-and-go items; instead, the coffee café will be serving a slew of items ranging from coffee drinks to smoothies to grab-andgo items. “We thought this would be easier for students and faculty,” said Devine. She describes the café as a “different” idea that coincidences with all of the recent improvements to Pierce Dining Hall.

The café will be open throughout the week and will be a part of students’ meal plans. The expected completion of the café is August 29, the first official day of the Fall 2016 semester.

The summer months continue to pass quickly, yet Stevens continues to be busier than ever.

Whether sitting in a freshman Calculus class in a newly-refurbished EAS building or getting a pickme-up at the new Pierce coffee café, students will be pleasantly surprised to see the many ways these improvements add to an already impressive campus life.

Opinion The Stute Editorial

Be yourself, not perfect It is so important to be authentic and to be proud of who you are. I don’t like to generalize often, but I feel like most Stevens students, faculty, and administrators all have a certain down-toearth goofiness and aren’t afraid to show it. I love that modest attitude towards how weird we all are because it’s that comfortableness that allows us to truly get along and be a community.

Although “Excellence in all we do” is one of the university’s core philosophies, I like how Stevens does not have an overwhelming amount of pressure to be perfect. At Convocation, a friend and I were giggling over quirks throughout the ceremony.

intense or strange, but I put myself out of my comfort zone to do my very best chicken impression – squawks, head shakes, and flapping wings. It was fun and I made people laugh, and I feel that really let people know that they could be themselves and be weird without being judged at Stevens.

I hope that all of the new students can find this type of comfort at Stevens, whether it’s reached within the first two weeks or two years.

side, the photographers calling back an awards recipients beginning to leave the stage. They were small but noticeable, and nobody really cared that much because Stevens is characterized by the friendly humanizing of our best community leaders.

This is something I developed an understanding of during orientation leader training. The “O-Team” goes through a week of ice breaker games, fun team bonding, and inclusive communication exercises. One of the biggest takeaways was learning to let myself be silly around groups of people. In a game called Farkle, people play Rock, Paper, Scissors to evolve through different stages: egg, chicken, hawk, dinosaur, and eventually prince/princess/prince-person.

by AUDREY DSOUZA Freshman Undecided Business Major

Sometimes I forget where I am... just kidding. I wake up every morning knowing where I am. Life is really different. I find myself having so much free time compared to last year. School would occupy seven hours of my day and work, rehearsals, and/or practices followed. Many people I knew were in the same position, working hard in order to get into college. But now that I’m here, I’m not sure what to do with all my time.

I joined a few clubs, only ones I was interested in, because everyone has warned me against

joining everything. But for those who don’t know what they like, students without direction or a “why”, joining everything is the only option.

Do not be mistaken, I’m not undecided because I don’t have a clue of what I want. I’m undecided because I could not pick between three majors I really want to study. I did not apply for this column because I liked writing, (I think that journaling and keeping track of goals and thoughts is critical for success) but because this column forces me to do that publicly; I really have to do my best. Even if it is not published, everyone should record their ambitions and feelings. By making promises to your future self and reflecting on your past self, you’ll be able to improve and understand your present self. That was a quote, but from me.

Speaking of quotes, I was recently discussing with a new friend about a quote that defined me in high school. It goes, “Aim

for the Moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” With this quote in mind, I fought drowsiness every night to do better, to do more. But then he told me something I never realized. “The stars are farther away than the Moon you know! It should be the other way around!”

This week, I learned once again that I should have taken Physics in high school. Maybe I would have then known that the Moon is closer than any star. Maybe. More importantly, I decided that I should not blindly follow other people’s quotes. I think it’s okay, to use other’s quotes to get yourself to a place where you can make your own. But after some time, if you don’t question and adjust those quotes, you’re stagnant.

Also, even if I thought I understood someone else’s words, what is the truth?

Everything is subjective; I learned that in CAL 105. I like to think that the original author knew that the Moon was closer; maybe they thought like I did —

that if one tries that hard and still misses their target, gravity will take care of them.

Writing this, I felt tempted to consider the average freshman. However, I know it is better to say how I genuinely feel.

A lot of people are not like that, though. Many people doubt their feelings, especially those that reply “I don’t know,” when asked the meaning of something in English classes. They don’t know because for so long, “I’m cool with whatever” has been the right answer. They say they are “undecided in their mind,” when asked why they picked their major, and there is nothing wrong with that. I hope everyone will soon know what they want, though, and that they will fill their days doing things they like. It is easier to achieve results if that “why” is understood, and someone can identify what they are working for. That way, we’ll all be able to improve those ROI rankings that brought us here.

I’m breaking up with the shuttle

by KATIE BROWN

Senior Chemical Engineering Major

Our romance began July 2014. I had just been given my keys to Curling Club 509, and considering I really never walked any further than Garden Street as a freshman, I sought a solution to check out my apartment. I boarded the one, the only, Stevens red line. After taking the gargantuan route around Hoboken, I finally got off

the shuttle (well, more like I awkwardly stood up in a moving vehicle because the driver was not slowing down for the stop and then decided to pull over). I hopped onto the pavement and deemed my first date with this Stevens convenience a success.

During the fall and spring semesters, the massive “Tour de Hoboken” splits into the red and gray lines with additional lines in between.

With so many options you would think the shuttle would be readily available to serve the students trekking from far parts of town. I wish. To put it short, throughout our first year together, the shuttle was playing hard to get. The stop of 12th

and Adams was similar to Tally Ho on a Friday night. Some people were trying to score big, pushing their way through the crowds of people to get their chance with the shuttle. Others were more tame, hanging out until a spot opened up to make their suave move onto the shuttle. Then there was me, who questioned each and every time if the stiff arming and sardinelike squishing experience was worth it. There were tons of things I did to get the shuttle to notice me. I took it at “off-peak” times.

I befriended the drivers. I even walked to an entirely different stop just to ensure I got my seat. Similar to driving over the pot holes of Hoboken, our relationship was bumpy

to say the least. Even with a new apartment and line to contend with daily, things definitely have not progressed.

The straw that broke the camel’s back occurred this past week. After walking out of Howe and pondering if I wanted to walk or not, the shuttle pulled up. If the vehicle could talk I’m sure it would’ve said something along the lines of “I miss you, let’s hang out” as it majestically opened the doors. I caved and hopped on. Things were pleasant until everyone and their mother decided to hop on as well. I felt trapped and my anxiety skyrocketed as more and more people crammed onto what is supposed to be 15 passenger vehicle. It was in

that 10-minute drive back to my apartment that I decided, once and for all, I’m breaking up with the shuttle.

In a failing relationship, it comes to a point that two individuals need to figure out if wants and needs are being met.

For me and the shuttle, that’s definitely the case.

I don’t necessarily need to rely on the shuttle but I need to know that it is available for me when I have stockpiled my Amazon packages in the mail room and I don’t want to struggle with four humongous boxes as I walk across town (guilty). I want to know that when I have those “caving” moments I don’t need to aggressively push my way onto the vehicle like it’s a

roller derby match. Ultimately at a school where I have to prioritize passing a class and shouldn’t be worrying about how to get to said class, I need the shuttle to be there for me. As it currently functions, the shuttle is not satisfying my wants and needs.

I do have to admit, the Stevens shuttle has come a long way. With the additional shuttles en route during popular times and even a full blown research project to optimize the service, I applaud the school for trying to fix the problems myself and many others have. For the time being, however, I’ll give the shuttle a good wave as it drives past me on the way to campus. My Fitbit will thank me later.

Technically Speaking

Tools for the college trade

by TARIK KDIRY

Sophomore Software Engineering Major

As we enter yet another year here at Stevens, or for some, their first year altogether, some of us may be faced with the all too familiar

struggle of organization.

As we move our lives to the internet, our work and school lives follow.

The physical notebooks we know too well are being replaced by online note-taking software and libraries are being swapped out for easily accessible pdf versions of books.

Before I begin I would like to address, particularly to new students, the storage01 drive accessible to all Stevens students. Within this drive is all of the software used for classes here at Ste-

vens such as Solidworks for modeling and word processors. I know for a fact this drive is helpful for engineering classes such as Graphics and Design. To access this drive, go to myStevens and click on IT Service Desk.

On the right, there will be a link explaining how to access the drive.

In the past, for basic word processing, OpenOffice would be the go to for anyone without storage01, or even cash.

However, due to OpenOffice’s declining support, a former extension of

Open Office called LibreOffice is rapidly gaining popularity. The amusing part of LibreOffice is the amount of former OpenOffice developers that have created LibreOffice.

Or you can use Word because it is offered to you in storage01. That works too.

My personal favorite calendar setup would be Google Calendar/mac Calendar. Because these two calendar programs can be synced, I regularly use it for everything from class schedules to appointments, and even

assignments. If I decide to log on to Google and add an event, I can be sure to expect a reminder on my iPhone through Calendar, regardless of cross-platform suspicion.

With the amount of people using both platforms, it is very important to see some cross-platform utility.

For the note-takers, i.e. everyone that cares about their grade, my go-to would be the notebook. Literally a paper notebook with the rings and the lines and the neat little folders. Some habits

just don’t die I suppose.

But if I had to go completely virtual I would easily use Evernote. Besides the fact that is has a really cool looking logo, Evernote offers many features. My most used features would be reminders and notebooks.

I don’t really know why Evernote appeals to me other than aesthetic but that’s all I really need for note-taking.

In the end, I would experiment with everything you have and see what fits. Happy fall semester!

Not With Those Shoes

Menswear 101: The Syllabus Week of Fashion

by HOPE BRANDES Junior Visual Arts & Technology Major

Ahh, syllabus week: the purgatory between summer ending and classes beginning where we cling to the last of our freedom before the new year. It’s the one week of school where even the teachers slack off. Amidst the haze of hot weather and sleepy eyes, though, we forget that the most important education is revising what we already know, or at least should know.

So I bring you the syllabus week of fashion: from the basics of building a wardrobe to building an outfit and finally, accessorizing.

Before you can complete an outfit, you need the right wardrobe to

go with it. Chances are it’s time for a wardrobe upgrade. If your closet is filled with graphic tees and torn jeans from high school, it might be time to invest in a few pieces that will grow with you from student to professional. That’s not to say you have to get rid of your old wardrobe (though I’m sure some pieces have seen better days), but moving forward, it might be time to consider how you want your clothes to represent you.

I always say that the first steps to a better wardrobe are to wear things that fit and are clean…but that doesn’t help when we’re looking to buy new pieces.

So what should be in the wardrobe of a young, inspiring engineer or scientist? Depending on the job your looking for, you might end up with a required uniform or certain dress code for safety. So let’s talk about a comfortable, casual style that can go from the street up to a very casual business setting.

Suiting and formal wear is another monster.

First off, invest in your basics. This is great for those of you that don’t love shopping because it means selecting fewer pieces of a higher quality. This way you don’t have to go out and rebuy everything when things start to fade and fall apart or trends change.

Think of basics as your wardrobe starter pack!

A solid white or gray t-shirt, a white button down, dark blue, untorn jeans, tan chinos or khakis, a solid colored sweater, a navy blazer or sports jacket and a nice pair of boots or shoes. If you’re wondering why the basic wardrobe sounds so boring, it’s because you can’t mix and match colors without the proper basics to pair them with.

The wardrobe staples I listed are staples because they can be worn with anything and needed to balance out more colorful pieces.

Plain t-shirts are the epitome of casual style.

They can be worn under open jackets or button down shirts, layered under sweater or just

styled by themselves for hot days. Button downs are the next step up from a t-shirt, and you should familiarize yourself with the term “oxford”. In a nutshell, an oxford shirt is named for the way the fabric is woven, but all you need to know is that it can go from casual to dressy with a mere change of pants. Classically, they come in white and light blue, but after you have a few basics you might try a few colors and patterns. They also come in short sleeves!

Pants are self-explanatory. Just buy the right size and fit. The jacket is the last piece that ties an outfit together. A sports coat is a looser fitting more casual blazer. Both can be used to dress up an outfit either for street or business wear. Denim, leather or suede jackets are another more casual alternative to a blazer.

Finally, your shoes should be just as nice as everything else you’re wearing. If you opt for sneakers, they shouldn’t be the same pair you wear to the gym. Shockingly, there are footwear

theidleman.com

options for men other than sneakers.

Desert boots and Chukka boots (think Clarks) are a popular boot-sneaker hybrid that matches the dressy-casual feel. You could also choose loafers, brogues, or boat

shoes.

Now that you have the essential wardrobe, you can start trying bolder styles to mix in with your basics. But it’s syllabus week, so we only need to worry about first chapter for now.

Across the Hudson

Summers of New York

by DAVID ROGERS

Sophomore Mechanical Engineering Major

Two great things about the city (and the Tri-State Area in general) are the energy of the area and the many things there are to do.

Both of these are amplified during our best season — summer. Not only are there many great summer-only activities, but it’s also the best time to do year-round outdoors activities.

The East and Hudson Rivers are far too dirty to swim in, but there are still many beach options in the area. New Yorkers often flee to the Jersey Shore or, if they’re rich

enough, the Hamptons.

Most of the less expensive beaches are on Long Island, my home turf.

The westernmost beaches outside of the boroughs are Long Beach and Jones Beach. Long Beach is a white sand beach accessible via the LIRR or Loop Parkway.

Long Beach has a payper-person entrance fee, so it’s not the best beach to bring large groups to.

Jones Beach is the island just East of Long Beach.

There is a $10 parking fee per car, but you can bike there for free from Cedar Creek Park in Wantagh. Jones Beach, simply put, is miles of pristine Atlantic Ocean beach with a boardwalk popular among cyclists, an amazing theater by Zach’s Bay, and a handful of expensive amenities for those who can afford them.

Further West on the South Shore is Fire Island, which I consider the (somewhat) hidden jewel of NY beaches. On

the West end of Fire Island lies Robert Moses State Park, which is like a less-crowded Jones Beach. The Robert Moses Causeway and Great South Bay Bridge make for an awesome drive to Robert Moses Park. The next 30 miles or so East of Robert Moses Park are only about half a mile wide with restaurants, docks, and stores along the Great South Bay on the North side of the Island with sand dunes and beaches which lies along the Atlantic Ocean. This part of the island is carfree, so most people take a ferry if they’re going further East into Fire Island. Be warned, Fire Island beaches range from family-oriented summer vacation beaches to nude beaches, so do some research on which beach suits your needs before going.

Smith Point Beach is at the East end of Fire Island, accessible by taking the Southern State Parkway and Sunrise Highway to

William Floyd Parkway.

Smith Point Beach has more of a fun vibe to it than the other beaches; it has a bar/grill, Beach Hut, and beach fires are permitted at night.

Summer also signals many opportunities in the city. Some city parks host free movies at night, bands perform in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, and summer is the ideal time to walk, run, or bike along the city’s many promenades. The Hudson and East River greenways in Manhattan are very scenic and recommended, but I strongly recommend visiting the outer borough trails and parks. A walkway/ bikeway hugs the Brooklyn shoreline with great views of the Verrazano Bridge. It’s like a Belt Parkway for pedestrians and cyclists. A similar path in Bayside hugs Little Neck Bay, leading to Fort Totten Park underneath the Throgs Neck Bridge. Clove Lakes Park in Staten Island is a nice

instagram/blacktapnyc

place to have a barbecue.

Summer is also the ideal time to try out the city’s unique ice cream scene. I will write more in-depth reviews of some of these places in the future, but for now, I’ll give a brief overview of the ice cream scene. Black Tap in SoHo and Chelsea are famous for their mega-sized milkshakes, which bring blocks-long lines. Max Brenner, just South of Union Square, has their unique line of (more reasonably-sized)

milkshakes.

Further downtown, the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory on Bayard Street was one of the first places to make ginger ice cream, and they’ve continued creating unique flavors ever since then. Another ice cream store in Chinatown, 10 Below, rolls their ice cream as opposed to scooping it.

Peter Pan doughnuts in Greenpoint makes doughnut ice cream sandwiches in the summer.

Enjoy!

Cusine Corner

Bang for your cluck

by GREGORY MCNEIL

3/5 Mechanical Engineering & Systems Engineering Masters

This week on Cuisine Corner, I had the privilege of reviewing a Stevens nighttime favorite, CluckU. After hearing about its role in “nourishing” inebriated students at the wee hours of the morning, I set out to see how Cluck-U would hold up to a rigorous food test.

Upon walking in, an aroma typical of a pre “McCafe” McDonalds hit me. That is to say, Cluck-U is the definition of the stereotypical fast food restaurant. Identifiable by their colorful cartoon character mascots and for being one of the leading causes of childhood

CONTACT & INFO

obesity, fast-food promises that food is cheap and fast.

Since social dietary policy and subliminal marketing are not my mission, I was eager to try some food.

To represent a typical meal, I ordered the boneless sweet chili wings with a side of mac & cheese, and a drink. For dessert, I ordered the “Sugar Clucker bees”, which are essentially miniature donuts. Other items include bone-in wings, cheese fries, and even rice bowls, each offered with a variety of sauce choices.

For those interested, the sweet chili sauce was two-thirds of the way up the “Spicy-o-meter”. The sweet chili was not nearly as hot as the top choice, “Blazen”, and not nearly as mild as the bottom sauce, Teriyaki. The cashier was kind and helpful when not interrupted by the constant stream of phone calls for delivery orders. Having ordered delivery in the past, I was skeptical that the food would be out as promptly as it was. Happily, I was proven wrong when I re-

ceived my food within a reasonable time frame of ten minutes.

With food in front of me, it was the moment I had been waiting for: taste time. I dug into the chicken and was met with instant satisfaction. Much to my surprise, the chicken was not greasy at all.

It was cooked appropriately, tender but heated throughout. Say what you will about Cluck-U, but they know how to make great chicken! As good as the chicken was, the sauce was the absolute star of the meal. It was sweet with a subtle kick. The sauce was properly textured which your writer and Thai/British food expert sincerely appreciated. The portion size was also terrific, something I have come to expect with Cluck-U. Not only did they give me significantly more than my 10-piece order, but they were sure to give me plenty of sauce, something definitely most welcome.

Moving left to right, next I went for the mac and cheese. One thing that sur-

(201) 683 – 9307 112 Washington Street

prised me a bit was the mac and cheese was served in a plastic container, which I thought was only used for delivery. The macaroni was cooked well but the cheese had a dissatisfying artificial taste. It made me seriously consider that Cluck-U outsourced its mac and cheese and simply reheated it.

Moving past the mac and cheese, I was encouraged the “Sugar Clucker bees” would make amends. The first thing I noticed when I picked one up was that it was a tad greasy. While disappointed in that, I was still optimistic that it was made in house and, unlike the mac and cheese, would have greater quality inspection for taste. Taking my first bite, the texture was light and fluffy with a subtle sweetness I was certainly not expecting. They were tasty and delivered a nice finish to an overall good meal.

A note about ratings: Much like the great film reviewer, Robert Ebert, the ratings are relative, not absolute. The rating must be taken in context with the types of restaurant that I am reviewing. For example, I may give a fast casual restaurant “5 out of 5” stars for quality of food and a fine dining restaurant “2 out of 5 stars”. Does that mean the fast casual place has better food? No, of course not! It just means that in the context of fast casual restaurants, the restaurant is pretty good!

Thank you.

To Fond Farewells, And dear, fair friends, And new beginnings where I once saw ends.

To stories to tell, To the skies up high, And the ground at our feet, And to those with whom we find our seat.

To laughs found where we once would cry.

What are the odds?

What are the odds that I sit beside her?

There are seven billion people in this world — 6 billion, 999 million 999 thousand 999 people that mean so little to me, And just one person who means the world.

And she sits beside me — My whole world right in front of me.

And when I look into her eyes, I become enchanted.

I see the way they twinkle and warm my world, And then I ponder the odds.

So many trillions of stars in this universe, And the most beautiful star out there gazes back at me.

I cling to my moments with her, Because each moment defies the odds.

So much time will pass without me, Out of Time’s countless eons, I’m only here for a moment — The very same moment that she is — And it’s the greatest moment in all of time, Because it’s the moment that I get to love her.

I can’t imagine the odds.

General Chemistry, Thermodynamics

by TENY ODAIMI Staff Writer

Professor Patricia Anne Muisener is a Teaching Associate Professor and Program Director of Chemistry and Chemical Biology. She loves everything about teaching chemistry. She explains, “I enjoy when we are covering a difficult concept and students ask questions which show they are really starting to think about the concept and are trying to understand it.” Professor Muisener also enjoys when students visit during her office hours – “Office hours are for the students so I love when students take advantage of this time, especially when they need help.”

She pointed out that visiting office hours, especially early in the semester, is always a good idea.

On her free time, Professor Muisener enjoys reading, baking and taking long walks. She also likes to travel with her family. When asked what is a must see experience at Stevens, she encourages sitting and enjoying the amazing view from

Castle Point, especially at night.

Finally, Professor Muisener offers her advice to incoming freshman: “Incoming freshmen should try to meet as many people as possible in and outside of class. They should get involved and choose a few clubs and student organizations that interest them from the many opportunities available at Stevens. They should form a study group with people that are in a number of similar classes.

Study groups in addition to studying alone can be very effective in learning the material and making sure they do not miss anything. They should plan to study with the group on a regular basis and of course focus on studying and plan to go out later to chat. Some of the material in many of their courses, they may have seen before, but they should keep in mind that these courses are the building blocks for future courses and reviewing this material in a different context, will benefit them in the future.

Students should try to

set a strict schedule at the beginning of the semester that includes of course their classes and exams as well as study time, time to eat, time to exercise, time for sports and student organizations and time to relax and have fun and even time to sleep. They should put this schedule on their phone or tablet and try to update and stick to this schedule from the beginning of the semester so they are in a routine especially during midterm and final time.

Freshman should also take advantage of all the academic help available to them at Stevens, which includes visiting the faculty during their office hours. My last piece of advice is to definitely enjoy the first year, it will fly by very quickly!!”

Robin Hammerman Writing and Communication

by AUDREY DSZOUZA Staff Writer

Professor Robin Hammerman teaches CAL 103, a class required for all freshmen. She has been with Stevens since 2011, when the year-long Freshman Experience program started. Her areas of research extend from topics like British Romanticism and Women’s Studies to Sci-fi and Graphic Novels.

She was able to provide The Stute with some words about herself, as well as advice for her prospective students.

Before coming to Stevens, she was a graduate student at Drew University and was teaching in other places. “I’ve been in school for most of my life on one side of the desk or another.” she said. “My decision to become a professor was probably the easiest one I’ve made. There are lots of people like me in academia who simply loved school so much they never wanted to leave!”

She has taught CAL 103 for the past five years and hopes for her students to be more confident and articulate communicators by the end of the semester. “When students finish their CAL 103 classes, I also want them to understand that there is so much more. One way to achieve that understanding is to look deeply into the assigned writings – the ones in the reader as well as the ones we generate – really ‘see’ what they look like or seem to mean right now, and have the foresight to

know that our understanding will likely develop or change over time if we make room for alternative ideas, thoughts, and opinions. A whole lot of discussion is also part of this process! The kind of work I’m talking about here is ultimately a lifelong commitment for students and it really does begin in the CAL 103 classroom.”

She also addressed some common misconceptions Freshman have of the required course. “[They] think CAL 103 is simply a writing class. We do a lot of writing but the class is not only about that – CAL 103 requires talking, reading, researching, thinking, collaborative learning, and a host of other components… effective writing (both creative and academic) is an ongoing process, it includes talking and thinking and experiencing life. Yet another common misconception is something I hear first-year students say often about themselves: “I’m not that interesting.” That’s a load of malarkey! You are more interesting than you think you are, and in CAL 103 you have every opportunity to start figuring that out.”

When asked how she felt about teaching a writing and communications course at a technology school, Hammerman was ecstatic. “I know more about 3D printing than I ever thought I might because of Stevens students.

Seriously, though, it’s not enough to know your discipline and all of the stuff it takes to succeed in your

Professor Vlad Lukic is a Physics professor who teaches freshman mechanics and astronomy courses at Stevens. He gave advice for incoming freshmen that centers around the ideas of adaptation and thinking.

When freshmen begin their first semester they realize that “it’s actually a large culture shock.

Everybody needs to understand that they’re not in high school anymore.

The level of understanding in college is much deeper. The complexity of any course grows rapidly,” says Professor Lukic. The skill incoming freshmen need to learn is time management. “People who get into this school are very, very good students, and if mechanics or chemistry was the one thing they have to worry about, they’d all get an A, but it’s all balancing the other stuff. Having several courses at the same time plus your own personal life makes it difficult.” Lukic advises reaching out to upperclassman. “They’ve been through all of it [and have a] perspective. Not having a perspective is [a] dangerous thing.

Everybody is going to have a small glitch. The important thing is to lift and move on.” Students need to develop a perspective.

Students should look forward to thinking in Professor Lukic’s courses. “I’m trying to teach

students to think in simple terms,” he states, “Memorization of formulas is not something that I insist on, but how to analyze complex systems in simplest possible terms. I’ve never had one student who told me that this is much more complicated than I thought.

I was always told this is much more simpler than I thought. Thinking really, thinking in simpler terms is what I want them to do in this class.”

Professor Lukic said that the intelligence of the students inspires him.

“The advantage of working as a professor is that you always interact with a lot of super smart people. [It’s] not the just the colleagues and the grad students and the other professors, it’s actually the undergrads.” As a mechanics professor, Lukic interacts with a wide array of students. He sees that “people are very different. Some prefer to sit down quietly; some prefer to interact, but generally there are so many good questions, so many

ideas about what should be done. I really like it.”

Aside from studying during their time at Stevens, students need to go to New York often.

“You’re in the center of the universe,” Lukic states, “I don’t get to see one percent of things I wanna see [in New York each day]. Museums are great. Visit all of the museums and concerts. Hoboken is nice, but the city is absolutely great. I’m actually quite shocked how little students from Hoboken, from Stevens, go there.”

Professor Lukic gave one last piece of advice: “Think, don’t just go on autopilot, you have to think. I think that’s the most important thing.

You have to be honest with yourself and study.

If you don’t know something just admit it to yourself and study harder.” Lukic’s final piece of advice comes from a Harry Potter quote that captures his and Stevens’ message: “help will be given to those who ask for it.”

major. If you want to be successful, it’s crucial to be in touch with why you want to do what you want to do – and the study of humanities will help get you there in ways that studying tech alone will not.”

She hopes new students will explore Hoboken as much as possible. “It’s a lovely city, and Stevens is a vibrant part of the Hoboken community. Do get yourselves out and about! I know that you are all very busy (or going to be soon) but it is important to make time for recreation.” She recommended Washington Street, and walking on the waterfront, even if there is little time to spare. “Also, don’t forget that you are a stone’s throw away from my hometown, New York City!” she added.

Hammerman concluded by reflecting on the sentiment of the Stevens community. “I think that Stevens students genuinely want to make the world better than it is right now.

Chances are, you want to do lots of good in the world and make lots of money as well. If you want to do both, you are definitely in the right place!”

Dr. Mukund Iyengar is an Assistant Professor of Teaching and Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Stevens, specializing in programming and computer science. He began his career at Stevens in the fall of 2012. Iyengar attended the University of Central Florida, Orlando for both his undergraduate and graduate studies, earning a PhD in Computer Science. Students can look forward to his “fun, engaging, [inspiring], and informative” courses

all the way from Intro to Programming (E115) to Starting and Growing Companies in the Computer Science Domain (CPE810).

According to Professor Iyengar, freshman often have “[a] tendency to settle for less. As a freshman who has four or more years at school, one should aim for the stars. Especially students in computer engineering should absolutely try to build an empire from scratch. Why? Because to build a billion dollar company in this domain, all you need is a laptop and stable Internet connection. Add to that mix

a lot of youthful passion and fervor and you really have all it takes.”

While Iyengar is often busy with other engagements, he still occasionally finds time to “workout, swim, hike, and engage in artistic things like photography and calligraphy.”

The incoming freshmen of Steven’s Class of 2020 are not the only ones who are new to life on campus. Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs Sara Klein has been with Stevens since last December and this upcoming semester will be her first full academic year. From day one, she has made it her mission to make a mark on the community.

“I hope that students will soon start to notice that I’m very student-centric and friendly, and that I aim to help students feel that all of the staff in Student Affairs are happy and focused on making the student experience the best it can possibly be.

I also feel that I’m very transparent and I’d like for students to feel that there is strong communication between them and us,” explained Klein.

Klein offers a small token of advice to first-year students, “I suggest that students plan their schedules out, put all of their assignments in their calendars in advance, and commit to specific times for studying, working out, and having fun.”

The stress associated with time management

has been a demon shared by many students during their acclimation to campus life. Get ahead of the curve and beat the time management blues by starting and maintaining productive habits. “I think new students often have a hard time figuring out how to manage their time in college, since high school is typically more of a structured day, and college involves a ton of unstructured time,” adds Klein.

To help that transition, finding a small piece of home to look back on can help students hit with a streak of homesickness.

For Klein, a familiar restaurant made it easier to adjust to the unfamiliarity of Hoboken. “Since I’m also a newcomer, I don’t

know many places well in Hoboken,” reasoned Klein. “However, I lived in NYC all of my adult life, so I was pretty excited to see a Mamoun’s Falafel on Washington Street- the original is in Greenwich Village and there’s no better falafel and hummus around!”

Klein finishes her thoughts on a wise note, “ A ‘must-do’ for new students when they arrive on campus is to meet people! Don’t be shy— introduce yourself. Since no one really knows one another in the first few days, there is nothing awkward about them walking up to new people and meeting them.

You’re all in the same boat!”

the other, who thinks, ‘I’m going to hold off’, and so what I recommend to students is to find a healthy balance.”

He emphasized the importance of finding one or two things to be passionate about rather than being barely involved in many organizations.

“Students that put themselves out there and try to explore new things that first semester really are set up for success...

They’re more connected with faculty and other students, and ultimately feel more at home here.”

Shemanski also gave an inside scoop on the local food that is a must for incoming freshmen.

Students should be open to new clubs and experiences at Stevens. Nilsen believes that people grow the most when they are “uncomfortable and challenged”.

Nilsen emphasized the significance of orientation and believes that it opens many social and academic doors. He feels that orientation is crafted to allow students to make many connections with fellow students and faculty, as well as get to know their campus home. Stevens has its very own orientation app, “Crowd Compass”, which is customized for each student’s orientation experience.

Dean Nilsen proclaimed that “Stevens is dynamic.

Stevens is ever-changing.”

This, he feels, is truly because of the student body and its engagement and proactivity. Students develop key skills during their time at Stevens, most importantly time-management. Nilsen finds organizing a personal schedule to be the most efficient form of managing time commitments.

When asked what is his proudest feature of Stevens is, Nilsen immediately stated, “The students”.

He explained, “The goal of this student-centric institution is success.”

Chris Shemanski

As the Assistant Director of Student Life, Chris Shemanski is tasked with much more than one would expect. He oversees over a hundred clubs, the selection and training of the orientation leaders, and works with the Entertainment Committee (which is responsible for events on campus and trips), as well as media organizations, including The Stute!

“When you see something, walking past Palmer or Schafer Lawn, go and talk to somebody, go and find out what they’re doing, because the weather’s so great and it’s a really good time to do that,” he began. “You have on campus things - barbecues, dinner, festivals that have been on the lawn, all these sorts of entertainment acts, take advantage of that!”

He noticed a trend in new students, “There are two types; one who says yes to everything, they want to get involved in every single club possible. And then you have

Kenneth Nilsen, Dean of Students, is responsible for clubs, orientation, and student discipline.

When asked by the Stute what he had to say to incoming students, he gave a critical piece of advice: get involved. Students should take advantage of all of the resources that Stevens has to offer. Most freshmen courses have review sessions and tutors available for extra help.

Nilsen and the rest of the Stevens staff want to see every student that enters the university to graduate. However, in order to succeed, Nilsen notes that students need to put in the effort.

With over 100 clubs and organizations on campus, Nilsen states that there is a club for everyone on campus. The clubs on campus serve a wide array of interests from ethnic clubs and community service to media and professional societies.

Robongi as his favorite sushi in Hoboken.

As for coffee, he highly recommended Bwè Kafe saying, “Every student should go to Bwè and have a cup of coffee, or whatever they enjoy, there’s a large variety, and read there. Our women’s program did a book club there, which was really cool; taking advantage of these kinds of places, those nice spots in Hoboken.”

Finally, Shemanski offered words of assurance. “Please know I’m a resource. At any point, don’t ever feel like you’re burdening me! I will listen if you have an idea about programs you want to bring to campus. Totally come and talk to me, and any point in your time here don’t be a stranger!”

Most people on campus know to visit the student health center to treat physical injuries and illnesses. However, Dr. Melissa Zarin, assistant director, and interim director of the Stevens Counseling Center is fighting to raise awareness and encourage students to treat mental illnesses through the on-campus counseling programs. Dr. Zarin oversees the center, consults students, trains orientation leaders, and has established the safe zone initiative at Stevens. Dr. Zarin is truly a superhero.

“I’m a psychologist. It makes you want to help people,” Dr. Zarin cited as her motivation for going into counseling. She went on to explain that she is particularly passionate about working with college students. “I started my training in college counseling, so I sort of circled back in my career. I like working with students on this level because it’s a great age. You’re on the cusp of adulthood,” said Dr. Zarin with a clear sense of devotion to her cause.

She also explained that with being on the “cusp of adulthood”, comes great difficulties. Her programs are aimed to help every person she can.

“Anyone who is maybe away from home for the very first time, this can be stressful… if you’re feeling anxiety, just step in, to be advised,” Dr. Zarin said. “Certainly, people who are coming to school

with a preexisting situation and want to make sure it’s situated, we offer referrals. We have a lot of referrals in the community. If you’ve been experiencing anxiety or depression definitely come in.

We do have some freshmen who come in with, roommate conflicts,” she continued.

The center has been doing extraordinary work to encourage people to seek help and to break down the misguided stigma around mental illness.

Due to the increase in demand of the counseling center, Dr. Zarin has made a shift when it comes to scheduling office hours; the latest editions are walk-in visits. “If you’re in the middle of something and you need some help or a little counseling, just step in!” encouraged Dr. Zarin. Standard visits have been altered as well, now operating on a shorter model basis. Typically, students will be able to plan one to five sessions with counselors. Every schedule is tailored to the individual. For prolonged or long term sessions, referrals are often made to the local and trusted offices off-campus.

Dr. Zarin also revealed

her work in creating peer educator programs.

“We’re always recruiting for the upper peer educator programs. Essentially, students are trained and volunteer for the counseling center. They go out and volunteer in the community to represent us, sometimes even giving presentations at 9 o’clock at night, tabling events, or hosting conferences for fraternities and sororities,” Dr. Zarin beamed about her program. Dr. Zarin’s work is helping countless students around campus and creating a truly extraordinary atmosphere of solidarity. Dr. Zarin also explained her desire for new, passionate students to get involved with this program in their second semester to continue building on what we already have.

Overall, Dr. Zarin stated that “more and more students are setting up and setting out and supporting counseling, we try to get out there and keep positive,” summarizing the profound success we have had on campus in treating mental illnesses.

Fun Fact: Dr. Zarin was born a Phillies fan. Now, she has transformed to a Mets fan!
