OUR HARSH REALITY WORDS B. BAUERMEISTER DESIGN K. MATTOCKS ILLUSTRATION N. MEINS

College students across the nation faced a strange and seemingly ever-changing set of circumstances during the pandemic. The impact was particularly intense for first-year students, many of whom struggled to build social and communal ties.

Due to the unprecedented nature of COVID-19, the 2020-21 school year was one of endless adaptations to ever-changing rules and regulations at campuses across America. These changes especially impacted first-year students, some of whom had an “almost normal” experience at least at some points during the year. For others, their entire first-year experience was upended from start to finish. “Students are having diﬃculty adjusting and creating a sense of belonging,” said Ann Lopezlira, a psychologist in Phoenix who has more than a decade of experience in counseling. “The first semester is always a hard time for students. They are away from home, in a new setting, adjusting to college courses and trying to make new friends, so that can feel quite overwhelming. “I have regularly seen and personally experienced the hard transition to college, but the added social regulations that schools and our nation as a whole have established make this even harder for students.”

Dan Shoemaker, who has worked at the University of Phoenix for nearly 15 years as an enrollment representative, sees students dealing with the pandemic differently. “Many students have realized attending online has been beneficial for them, removing distractions and allowing them to avoid social issues they may have had to deal with. For other students, they are experiencing loneliness and depression,” said Shoemaker. Despite the struggles to build connections, Shoemaker believes there is a silver lining in the different options now available to some students. “Housing situations and how students fare in school are dependent on many variables. Living at home can offer a source of stability, but depending on the parents, can limit social experiences. Living on campus offers more freedom but still has some supervision. Living off campus can be a free-for-all,” said Shoemaker. “The main thing is the student and what they want from their education.”

The College Crisis Initiative, a research project at Davidson College in North Carolina, found that about 1,000 colleges around the nation brought students back to campus to start fall classes in-person in some form. Other universities, including LMU, had partial or complete closures of their campuses. These disparities in colleges’ responses created stark differences in student life across the nation. continued on next page

I wanted to go out on my own and not just stay home all the time. I kind of want to be by myself,” said Francis. Before COVID-19 hit, he had signed up to live in baseball housing with his teammates. But his baseball season was canceled and classes were moved online. Francis moved back home. Before the pandemic, Francis’ life was consumed by baseball. “I used to practice pretty much every single day. And now I’m practicing every two to three days because I have so much online school, then I have to go practice and try to do that on my own. It’s just chaos sometimes,” he said. His online classes, coupled with his need to stay in playing shape, proved difficult. Many of Francis’ teammates from high school went away to play at colleges all over the country. With his former teammates gone and his current baseball season postponed, Francis is left alone. “I can’t tell you the last time I’ve seen some of my friends. Most of my friends are out at college, and I’m here still. I still have a couple of friends I hang out with, but they’re mostly my brother’s friends. It’s kind of sad,” he said.

KATIE HUMBURG IS A FIRST-YEAR student at Wayne State College in Wayne, Neb., where she plays softball. Humburg’s college offered in-person classes and student housing, so she lived in an oncampus dorm with a roommate and teammate. Then, a COVID-19 outbreak changed everything. “One of my teammates tested positive, so the entire team had to quarantine. And since the designated quarantine rooms at my school filled up really quickly, they asked anyone that could drive home to go home,” the Wisconsin native said. “So, since I live about six hours from school, I decided to come home.” Humburg tested negative for COVID-19 but was still required by her school to quarantine for two weeks. Although some students in other regions of the country are having a college experience that approximates normal, Humburg’s experience shows the downside of what being on-campus can look like. “The big thing probably is that we can’t party and stuff because our coaches are super strict about that for obvious reasons,” she said. Because of the limitations imposed by her sport and lack of COVID-19friendly social events, she was unable to create a sense of community that she has been wanting. “There are no events where you would normally meet people, so I pretty much just hang out with softball people and a couple of people on the baseball team. There are no social events except for parties, and obviously we can’t go to those right now.” “It’s kind of sad to think about how much of a social life I had in high school and then now in college, it’s like, nonexistent,” she added, seeming to sum up the feeling of many college students around the nation.

“It’s with been meeting really weird friends. It is definitely the thing that myhasday-to-day most impacted life.” 030-039 Pandemic.indd 33

TAIT THOMPSON, A FIRST-YEAR Marketing major at LMU, also had a far-from-normal first year at college. Because of Los Angeles County mandates, LMU drastically limited its on-campus housing and prohibited most students from setting foot on campus. This left most first-year students, including Thompson, on their own in terms of finding housing. Many students chose to live at home, but Thompson decided that she wanted to live near campus in the Westchester neighborhood. Thompson is privileged to come from a socio-economic background that allows her to afford to live on her own. “I just went on Zillow and found a house, and it was really easy. I’m happy that I’m doing this rather than doing anything else,” Thompson said. Once she inked the lease, Thompson took to Instagram and the incoming freshman Facebook page to find three roommates to live in the rental with her. They moved into the house in August. Thompson spent a fair amount of time adjusting to her living situation and trying to create a community for herself. “It’s been really weird with meeting friends. It is definitely the thing that has most impacted my day-to-day life,” she said. “I’ve met girls, primarily through messaging this girl from my class who seemed normal and nice. I got dinner with her and her roommates, and then I met a couple of girls from that. It’s just kind of a weird networking tree of meeting people. Then there is also feeling a little bit like I shouldn’t be meeting all these people.” Thompson struggled between wanting to socialize in order to have a “normal” college experience and needing to practice social distancing. She also feels the pressure to prove to people that she is having a fun time due to a sense of competition among first-year college students to show that they love their adult life. “My roommate and I were talking about how all of her friends from high school go to Texas schools and have basically no regulations, are living in dorms, rushing [Greek houses] and having a normal life,” Thompson said. “We were talking about how when she goes home, she feels like they’re going to be really sad and condescending towards her because she hasn’t got a normal experience.”

BATTLING COVID-19

WORDS S. HATHORN DESIGN K. MATTOCKS ILLUSTRATION N. MEINS This article originally appeared in the Los Angeles Loyolan and has been edited for length.

An LMU staff member’s experience with COVID-19 serves as a stark reminder of the ravages of the disease—and how little we actually know about it more than a year into the pandemic.

When Chelsea Brown, the assistant director for student engagement at the Center for Service and Action, began this year, she didn’t think she was going to spend the entire summer at home with her family, going viral on TikTok and listening to a surprise Taylor Swift album. Nor did she think a pandemic would spread across the globe, infecting her and her family. Once COVID-19 hit the U.S. in full force and LMU closed campus to most for the remainder of the Spring 2020 semester, Brown went back home to quarantine in her parents’ house in LaGrange, Ga. The Browns all tried to follow the rules to keep safe. With older parents and a sister with a congenital heart defect, they fell into the “at-risk” category. Then, in early July, Brown and her sister met a small group of friends at the playground. They were the only four people there, according to Brown. Not long after, her sister and her mom began to cough. They later all tested positive for COVID-19. “The range of symptoms were diﬀerent for all of us. [My mom’s] case was the

worst of all of ours,” said Brown. “We all lost our sense of taste and smell. Everyone had a cough.” Brown said her main symptom was diﬃculty breathing. She recalls going on a walk before she tested positive and not being able to walk a block without feeling physically worn out. Her mother had to go on a breathing treatment, first using an inhaler and then a nebulizer, which allowed her to breathe in medicine easier.

“the terrifying thing for all ofwasusgoing was weto happen. did not” know what “The terrifying thing for all of us was we did not know what was going to happen,” said Brown. “It just sucks all of the energy out of you. When you aren’t eating, you’re not drinking, you’re not moving, your body just deteriorates. It was diﬃcult. It was scary.” It took Brown and her family a month to test negative. But even after negative tests, Brown felt like her ordeal with the virus is far from over. She

still noticed getting short of breath and a reduced sense of smell. In an exam of her sister’s pacemaker, the doctors found a blood clot on her heart. Research has shown that COVID-19 leads to an increased risk of blood clotting.

The lack of understanding of the virus’s long-term eﬀects worries Brown. “Sometimes I still get nervous, like I could still just die. That is the lingering fear for all of us,” she said. “Obviously I’m glad I had somewhat of a mild case and that I’m better, but I don’t feel like it’s over. It did something to my body that I don’t understand. It was terrifying.” Throughout the year, Brown watched as people around the country failed to take the pandemic seriously. Knowing the consequences all too well, this frustrates her. “It has become, I think in some minds, an inconvenience. I want to remind people it’s more than an inconvenience. It is still lifethreatening. Just because somebody didn’t die, that is too low of a threshold,” said Brown. She continued, “If you know what spreads [COVID-19] and you’re not actively combating against that, then you should be surprised that you don’t get it, not that you get it.” Brown also noted that many may not know about their own preexisting conditions that could worsen the eﬀects of the virus, making the assumption that you are a healthy adult a “gamble.” Brown’s hometown of LaGrange proved to be an example of a general lack of understanding about the virus. She recalls a divide in LaGrange between people who wore masks and those who did not. LaGrange,

030-039 Pandemic.indd 35

a relatively small and rural town that is largely Republican, was ranked in June 2020 as a place with one of the worst COVID-19 outbreaks in the country. Brown thinks this is due to a lack of clear and factual information about the virus from the government since the start of the outbreak in the U.S. “The lack of clarity was really frustrating,” she said. Despite almost a year of LMU going remote—filled with Zoom calls and closets-turned-offices—Brown says she is grateful the University did not choose to return to normal operations this year for the safety of students and staff. She particularly worries about groups that may be less considered, such as the Facilities Management staff. “People are like, ‘students will be fine.’ But the people who clean their bathrooms go home to their families, who maybe have multigenerational people there. Why are we OK endangering [them just] for our sense of normalcy?” said Brown. Even after her harrowing year, Brown remains lighthearted about her situation and said it brought her family closer together. She also expressed gratitude for LMU students she knows who have taken the pandemic seriously. In the end, she said she has faith in college students to make the right decisions. “I have appreciated how the students I’ve been in contact with have handled it,” she said. “I’m grateful for that.”

IN ITS FIRST TWO WEEKS OF OPERATION, the LMU vaccination center administered about 500 first doses of the Moderna vaccine, which requires two shots at least 28 days apart for maximum efficacy. “The beautiful thing is how efficient we have been,” said Dr. Dan Hyslop, Medical Director of Student Health Services. “We have not wasted even one dose.” A tremendous amount of behind-the-scenes work needed to happen to make the clinic a reality. “Planning for these things is its own discipline,” Hyslop said. “We needed people to stand at the 36,000-foot level and be able to put everything in place. Marketing and Communications, Public Safety, legal, Student Affairs, IT, people negotiating contracts, and those who organize conferences setting up the gym and so on,” said Dr. Hyslop, “I understand none of this; I gave up thinking that I was in charge a long time ago.”

An on-campus vaccination center officially opened in Burns Recreation Center almost exactly 12 months after LMU’s campus went to limited-operations status due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The vaccination clinic’s opening marked more than a year of long days and nights of uncertainty for the Student Health Services staﬀ — and the University as a whole. Hyslop reflects back on the response to the virus’ arrival in the U.S. in early 2020 and remembers thinking, “Am I overstating this? Am I being crazy for saying all this stuﬀ?” “The biggest challenge was the unknown,” said Katie Arce, Director of Student

Health Services. “Our response early on was to close our doors to in-person appointments [on campus] because nobody understood this virus. We had to care for students with COVID-19 symptoms over the phone. So many questions and no good answers.”

Now that many students, faculty and staff are vaccinated, there is a new sense of hope around campus. “Know that the vaccines are safe and effective, with few side effects. COVID-19 will be here forever, but our immune systems will get more effective at fighting it,” said Arce.

“One day, I hope that there will come a time wherein many of the hard-to-cure diseases already have a cure and a preventive measure for them. The cure-and-prevention mechanism would help lengthen the time you can be with your loved ones, one of my ultimate goals.”

However, that does not mean everything will go back to how it was before.

L.A. County Contact Tracing Interns “It is not up for the virus to change, it is up to us to change how we deal with the virus,” Hyslop said. “I hope that we start to wear masks regularly, a normal practice in Asian nations, which undoubtedly helped them curb the spread of COVID-19. “American exceptionalism has not been good for us — we can learn from other countries. Everybody has a role to play to keep wearing masks and social distance. The future is being written every day in terms of science and what is in the media. My guess is that this won’t be our last COVID-19 vaccine — there will be mutations.” Summarizing his lengthy year on LMU’s medical frontlines, Hyslop concluded: “The United States’ response to the pandemic has been a pendulum, and right now we are in a better part of the swing.”

That’s kind of what this piece is reflecting on‚ what’s changed, and what’s been remembered.” You’re sitting at a table surrounded by invisible ghosts.

MEMBERS OF THE Los Angeles Loyolan Election 2020 team covered the historic campaign, election and aftermath for more than 18 months. The team’s goal was to create not just any election content, but videos and articles that were especially relevant to their peers. Pre-COVID-19, they attended conventions and debates, interviewed presidential candidates one-on-one and had front-row seats to perhaps the most anticipated election in American history. Here they share a few of their favorite moments and takeaways:

CRISTOBAL SPIELMANN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE

“I think the three biggest takeaways for me are timing, timing, timing…. The news cycle changes so rapidly that it was hard to keep up sometimes. But I think we did a pretty good job. During the Democratic National Debate at LMU, we were able to interview a number of journalists. One of them, Tomi Lahren, actually retweeted our video where we interviewed her and other media members… That got a lot of attention and shareability on social media, and we were grateful for that.”

MADELEINE CINDRICH

FILM, TV AND MEDIA STUDIES

“One of the most important takeaways for me is the importance of student journalism. We may not have the access to resources that the big news companies do, but we have our own perspectives and that can be a big benefit. Getting an interview with [U.S. Congresswoman] Maxine Waters was probably my personal highlight because it affirmed our role as journalists and the importance of student journalism. She literally rearranged her whole schedule to come back to campus to do an interview with us. That was really awesome.”

VERONICA BACKER-PERAL

“After a year and a half of interviewing multiple presidential candidates, an elector who voted in the Electoral College, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Congresswoman Maxine Waters, my favorite interview actually continues to be one of my first: Angela Fisher and Rosa Ojeda. Their names certainly don’t have the visibility that Pete Buttigieg or Andrew Yang might, but their story as two of the LMU Sodexo workers who participated in the protest leading up to the sixth Democratic Debate on LMU’s campus was one of personal significance to our community. It’s stories like these — those that had both national and local importance — that were most exciting to cover.”

An LMU student who spent 15 hours on Election Day working at the on-campus polling center reflects on a very long day. HOW DOES A 20-YEAR-OLD COLLEGE STUDENT MAKE A DIFFERENCE in an election between two men, each old enough to be her grandfather, talking about policies that will directly aﬀect her life and those of her friends? I phone banked, I reposted the stories, I yelled at my parents about climate change. Then to top it all oﬀ, I signed up to be a poll worker. LMU Poll Workers

It was all over the Instagram infographics: make an Election Day plan, check in on friends, don’t watch the results alone. All the headlines, podcasts and social media ads were gearing up for Nov. 3 — one day with a crippling amount of pressure on it. So, for my Election Day diversion, I spent 15 hours at the polls. It kind of worked. After waking up at 5 a.m. to get to LMU’s vote center by 6 a.m., the big thing on my mind was how to get coﬀee, not the impending

doom that could follow the election. But when I got caﬀeinated and the polling stations were all set up, there was not much to do except wonder what votes I would be helping to facilitate that day. I was not the only one looking to put my stress into action as a poll worker at LMU. Madeline Sharp (Psychology + Dance) said, “I feel like there is so much going on in the world that I get really stressed and I feel like there is nothing I can do about it. So, for me, working at the polls is my way of being able to do something.” Returning poll worker Alexander Aceytuno (Political Science) was not looking for a distraction, but rather conscious civic engagement. “In these last five days [at the polls], it’s not been so much to get my mind oﬀ of anything but to be right in the middle of it, because I want to be a part of what happens. My solace at the end of the day is knowing I did everything I could,” he said. The concept of solace is one that feels very far away right now. While helping voters and

sanitizing polling stations occupied chunks of time, there were never any of the long lines I had seen on the news. All of the voting machines were never in use at once. Part of me thought it must be due to mail-in ballots while another part of me wondered if it had anything to do with Westchester’s predominately upper-income, white population. Not much voter suppression here. Either way, there was ample time for checking the election counts and projections as they came in, calculating which states would go blue and which would stay red.

own. There were a number of voters taking selfies with their “I Voted” stickers and a family taking a photo to commemorate their first time voting. These were bright spots in a day shadowed by shady tweets from the commander-in-chief and pictures of boarded-up storefronts. When 8 p.m. came around and we shut the doors of the polling center, counted up the ballots and all the poll workers went their separate ways, the weight of the day settled in. As much as I feel like I did alI I could to work for the outcome I hope for, I cannot help but wonder if there was more I could have done. I wonder if there is any action that could make this election not feel so overwhelming.

“As much as I feel like I did all i could to work for the outcome I hope for, I cannot help but wonder if there was more I could have done.”

In the end, I realized that there will always be more action items, more organizations to get involved with and more friends to have tough conversations with. I think we all want to feel a little less helpless, and taking action, even if it does not distract from the reality of our world, can let us do that.

A TURBOCHARGED

A collaborative effort across the University ensured that Lions’ voices were heard at the ballot box — and beyond. “THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF OUR LIFETIME.” “THE BATTLE FOR THE SOUL OF THE NATION.” “AN ELECTION LIKE NO OTHER.” The phrases that framed the 2020 presidential election conveyed pressure, urgency, and peril. LMU’s “Listen. Engage. Vote.” initiative empowered Lions to rise to the challenge and make their voices heard. Bringing the leaders of various groups across campus together, LMU Cares Director Briana Maturi created what she calls “The Elections Collaborative.” Comprised of representatives from ASLMU, the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, the Center for Service and Action and more, the campus-wide “Listen. Engage. Vote.” campaign helped register 2,296 students to vote using the TurboVote app.

In a national collegiate competition that measured how many students each participating college could register using TurboVote, No. 2 for percentage of student body registered (34.6 percent) and No. 6 for the total number of students registered overall (2,296). Proving that “every vote counts,” LMU’s sixth-place finish over Harvard University came down to the registration of a single student.

SAAC President Matt Carungay (Psychology) cited the project’s student-led status as a source

of inspiration for many involved. That was also a sentiment CSA’s Interim Director, Patrick Furlong, also expressed. “This will probably sound really cheesy,” Furlong said, “but I think your generation in particular has a desire to engage on issues of importance in ways that we haven’t seen much before.... I really give the students credit.” From phone banking to social media challenges, the Collaborative’s outreach yielded impressive results. Taking to Instagram, SAAC posted each Monday and Tuesday from August 3 to November 3 to inform students about the voter registration process and encourage their participation in the presidential election. Ten other LMU organizations, in addition to 10 sports teams from other institutions, were also encouraged by SAAC via Instagram to register their members to vote.

“.they. . wehavehaveto tosaylisten to what so we can amplify their voices as welL. . .” By early October, 100 percent of the 400 eligible student-athletes at LMU were registered. “Listen. Engage. Vote.” is about more than just voter registration, however. In fact, the slogan’s ability to express the importance of voting without limiting civic engagement to that one act is what made it so appealing to the Collaborative, which also considered ASLMU’s “Let Your Vote Roar” and SAAC’s “Hear Our Roar” as potential primary messaging.

The “centralized civic engagement hub,” as Maturi described the site, was designed to be a useful tool even outside of major election years, and can be accessed at www.lmu.edu/vote. “You don’t have to be someone who is either in a politically focused registered student org or in ASLMU or in a service org,”Maturi said. “If you are just a student who is like, ‘Yeah, I’m passionate

Kamala Harris is sworn in as Vice President at the inauguration of Joseph R. Biden Jr., the 46th president of the United States.

Youth poet laureate Amanda Gorman, who captivated inaugural audiences around the word in January, has a Lion in her family tree. BEFORE AMANDA GORMAN was the youngest known poet to speak at January’s presidential inauguration, before she was named a National Youth Poet Laureate, she spent a large portion of her childhood on the LMU bluﬀ. Gorman was raised in Los Angeles by a single mother, Dr. Joan Wicks, who was at the time working on her doctoral thesis at the LMU School of Education under the mentorship of Dr. Marta Baltodano. In the acknowledgments of her thesis, Wicks thanks her children: “Spencer, Amanda, and Gabrielle for literally going to school with me all those evenings when I had night classes. You literally grew up with me at LMU and so I thank you for your patience, understanding and support as I worked to complete two degrees and a dissertation. All of you inspire me to be my best self and I am honored to be your mother.” Wicks spent nearly 10 years working on her masters and doctoral degrees at LMU. Between those years, Gorman went from being a seven-year-old little girl to a seventeen-year-old recognized youth delegate for the United Nations and Los Angeles Youth Poet Laureate. That same year she published her first book, The One for Whom Food is not Enough.

Her mother boasts about Gorman and her twin sister in the dedications of her thesis, and credits them as “a source of inspiration as I tried to finish the last leg of this lengthy process. You both provided key elements to our incredible endurance and resilience as a family — laughter and love.” Gorman, in her poem at President Joe Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday, January 20, in turn addressed her heritage, reciting:

“We the successors of a country and a time Where a skinny Black girl descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming president only to find herself reciting for one.” Both Gorman and her mother are racial justice advocates. Wicks dedicated her time at LMU to studying the racial climate of a Los Angeles middle school. Gorman studied sociology at Harvard College and has written significantly about race. Gorman hopes to be president of the U.S. by 2036.

AHMAUD ARBERY. BREONNA TAYLOR. GEORGE FLOYD. These were some of the names at the forefront of public consciousness throughout the summer of 2020 as fervent protests against racial injustice occurred nationwide. The movement their deaths ignited and inspired, however, quickly became much larger than these iconic figures. “To say, ‘These people are protesting the death of George Floyd,’ yes, that is the latest flame to light this fire, but that is an inaccurate representation of what is happening,” said photojournalist and Journalism professor Dr. Tara Pixley. “People would not take to the streets like this because one person died. They are protesting centuries of police brutality… They are protesting the colonization and enslavement of millions of people. That harm has never gone away, it has never continued on page 52

ongoing protests across the country might comprise the largest movement in U.S. history. After attending several demonstrations in Los Angeles, Pixley recalled, “It was very hot on some of the days the protests were happening, so people were driving up in their trucks and unloading cases of water, handing them out, cases of sanitizer, hundreds of masks, just giving them out to people to make sure that everyone was safe and thinking about their health… I’d never seen anything like that at a protest, that kind of community care, that kind of conscientiousness…” continued from page 51 been addressed, it has never been adjudicated and recognized. That harm will continue to set the tone of this entire nation.” Heightened, widespread calls for the harm of the past and present to be acknowledged and rectified were witnessed in not just the sheer number of those who participated in public demonstrations for racial justice this summer, but also in the elevation of topics such as anti-racism, decolonization, defunding the police and abolishing the police.

Noting the marked diﬀerence in size between a protest in Hollywood this summer and a 2014 protest that followed the death of Michael Brown -- an unarmed Black teenager who was shot and killed by a white police oﬃcer in Ferguson, Missouri -- Bradley stated, “The only way that that [increase in involvement] happened was because of the organizing, the groundwork and the activist work of, frankly, Black youth… on Tik Tok, on the Gram, on Snapchat, on Twitter and Facebook, it became en vogue to say that you are sympathetic to the needs of Black people.” Among those who stepped up were LMU students leading #BlackatLMU, including Dezmin Hemmans (Finance), Christian Jackson (Entrepreneurship and Applied Information Managment Systems), Amaya Lorick (African American Studies), Lauren Morrison (Psychology) and Alexa Walls (Dance).

“I think one of the blessings of… the sustained Black Lives Matter movement… has been that they created a whole new lexicon for America and the world, really,” said Dr. Stefan Bradley, BCLA Coordinator of Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives and professor of African American Studies.

In Zoom calls and GroupMe messages following the death of Floyd, many Black LMU students discussed feeling unsupported by the University. Lorick knew she had what it took to amplify these concerns and hold administration members accountable in addressing them.

The massive collective turnout of millions prompted the New York Times to report in July that these

from the South Side of Chicago growing up in a predominantly Black neighborhood; I felt like everything that was coming to light were things I had learned about all my life, had affected me all of my life, and I felt like the University wasn’t listening,” Lorick said. “We felt like they didn’t understand the impact of everything that was going on, especially since a lot of members of EIS [Ethnic and Intercultural Services] were furloughed.”

On August 13, #BlackatLMU sent a 16-page letter to the office of LMU President Sr. Timothy Law Snyder and his cabinet explaining the University’s shortcomings in creating an anti-racist environment and providing a list of demands regarding how the institution can better support its Black community of the present and future. These demands fell into three different categories: Admissions and Retention, Supporting the Black Experience on Campus, and Institutional Structures. The group also scheduled monthly meetings with Snyder and his cabinet to ensure sustainable progress continues to be made in these areas. “I really encourage people to just continue this conversation with all of their friends and talk about what’s been happening on our campus . . . especially if you can’t grasp what’s happening in the entire nation, just focus in on what’s happening at LMU when it comes to Black students and Black faculty and staff because it’s really a reflection,” said Lorick. .

UNITE LMU AS THE WORLD MOURNED THE DEATH OF GEORGE

FLOYD, BOC COORDINATED A STUDENT-LED CAMPUSWIDE FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN THAT RAISED MORE THAN $50,000 FOR PRO-BLM INITIATIVES. WORDS V. BACKER-PERAL DESIGN K. MATTOCKS PHOTOS O. MEKURIA

This article originally appeared in the Los Angeles Loyolan.

AFTER THE DEATH of George Floyd and amidst national and even international upheaval in summer 2020, the LMU Brothers of Consciousness organization set the goal of raising $20,000 for “organizations that are fighting for the BLM [Black Lives Matter] movement and the promotion of its message — both on a local and national scale.” In less than a week, the organization had raised more than double its original goal with the help of 40 diﬀerent on-campus organizations, with the final count north of $50,000. Upon first hearing about Floyd’s death at the hands of a Minneapolis police oﬃcer, several members of Brothers of Consciousness felt the loss of life on a personal level. BoC is an on-campus organization that encourages Black men at LMU to “strive to achieve brotherhood

through unity, to empower the community through service, and to become a model of manhood through achievement,” and has 17 active members. BoC co-president Christian Jackson (Entrepreneurship, Applied Information Management Systems) says that his initial reaction was to “process [the situation] as individuals or as groups but not through our organizations.” In the next few days, BoC’s other co-president, Dezmin Hemmans (Finance), reached out to Jackson about putting out a statement for BoC on Floyd’s death. In May, five days after Floyd’s death, BoC posted a statement, writing that “the Black community in America has been raising its voice tirelessly against the systemic racism ingrained in the United States’ legal and justice system” and “it’s the actions we — along with our allies — take now that’ll assure that George Floyd and his family receive justice, along with the thousands of others aﬀected by these tragedies. Rest in Power to them all, and may we work to prevent the loss of another.” The statement also included a list of organizations to donate to, including bail funds and fundraisers for a number of Black Americans who have been killed in the last few months alone. After this first response, the co-presidents’ next step was to organize an inter-organization meeting to allow the community to come together and grieve in collaboration with the Black Student Caucus. Over 130 community members joined the meeting.

Jackson says that “from there the idea of the fundraiser came about ... I whipped out that bingo deck that everyone at LMU’s campus has probably seen.” The “bingo deck” he is referring to is a digital graphic that encourages viewers to donate and to “[not] engage in performative activism.” It has since been widely re-posted on student social media accounts. One unique aspect of this strategy is that it allows individual on-campus organizations to choose what specific cause funds will be donated to, allowing those organizations to focus their eﬀorts on a pro-Black initiative of their choice. Jackson maintains that BoC does “not support any political figure, policy, party. That’s not what we do. What we support is action.”

“It’ s the actions we along with our allies take now that’ l l assure that george floyd and his family receive justice, along with thousands of others affected by these tragedies. Hemmans agreed, adding that “BoC is just supporting movements that help enfranchise people that have been disenfranchised, but also enabling everybody’s voice to be heard. I think what we are getting at is that the means to ending police brutality and systemic and systematic racism can be accomplished through diﬀerent means, and at this time we are not supporting one specific way; we just want there to be a way.”

MY VIEW

Hadiya W. Cain

AS MEMBERS OF Gen Z, we all know how much one’s identity shapes our experiences in contemporary American life. Whether a person is fully accepted in society is directly correlated to their identity and that, in turn, relates to whether one lives in fear or boldness, anxiousness or resilience. I am an African-American woman who attends a prestigous Jesuit university that many people like me aren’t able to aﬀord, and I’m so grateful to be attending my dream school. Unfortunately, our campus, as diverse and fluid as it appears to be, does not equate to the entirety of America — some of which doesn’t take kindly to my existence. My blackness (along with my femininity) is an intimidation to some individuals in this world. Though I can’t control how they perceive me, the only thing I can control is how I identify and present myself; that is, unapologetically me.

“. . . thanks to my mother, her mother, and all the black women that came beofre me, I have more than enough mental, physical and spiritual strength to persevere and succeed,” I was raised by a single mom who often discussed (and still does to this day) my blackness and how it can be seen as a positive. But she also told me about the reality that more often others would see it as a negative. It was important to her that I, her only daughter, held myself at a high standard and asserted myself everywhere I went so that I was never undermined, underestimated, disregarded or forgotten. Being Black in America is challenging. It would be hard enough considering that this country is rooted in ignorance, bigotry, and racism, but it’s made worse because that same racism lives on in the country and is embedded in its institutions to this very day. During summer 2020, in a period of time I can only describe as the pinnacle of the #BlackLivesMatter movement, it was globally documented how Black people were (and still are) mistreated by law enforcement. Being a Black woman, I’ve always known how dangerous the world was for me, but in that moment I still thought: How can I thrive in a world that has grown to hate me just because of the color of my skin? As much life as I want to live on this Earth, I know tomorrow is not promised to me.

What I do know is that I am a Black woman, who came from a Black woman before her, and a Black woman before her. I know that I am assertive, tenacious, and intelligent, and I was accepted by Loyola Marymount University because not only do I believe in the power of education, but the power and strength of a rich, diverse education. Though it was my dream school and I have had a once-in-a-lifetime journey as a student here, at times my blackness has made me feel like an outsider on campus. I’ve been stared at, talked over, silenced and ignored. In classrooms where I was the sole Black student, I was used as the “Black expert” in class discussions. Those experiences, although painful, provided me with the real-life occurrences I, without a doubt, will face once I graduate. Historically, this nation hasn’t wanted Black people to be educated and empowered. They diminished, disparaged and discouraged us; that’s why it was important for ME to be at LMU. Yes, college is ambitious and testing, but thanks to my mother, her mother, and all the Black women that came before me, I have more than enough mental, physical, and spiritual strength to perservere and succeed. Even so, does my prospective success have to be this hard to acquire? UNAPOLOGE TIC ALLY ME

“We are not your model minority. We are not standing on borrowed land, speaking a borrowed language nor working stolen jobs. We will not be silenced any longer.” MY VIEW

Angeline Kek

ASIANS KEEP OUR HEADS LOW. Many of us have achieved the elusive American dream due to our obedience and respect for the law. We work hard, never speak up and are always on our best behavior. Or at least that is what we, and others, have been told. We live in a country that applauds minority groups for pulling themselves up by their bootstraps in the face of obstacles. But what are these obstacles, if not systemic racism, hateful violent assaults and the exploitation of minorities’ labor in exchange for antiimmigration policies?

United States would go in an eﬀort to bury its own history of discrimination. The concept of “model minority” was created with vile intentions: to advance systemic racism and pernicious stereotypes. It not only allows our country to conveniently forget its past of horrendous racism (which is not so much a thing of the past), but it also allows Asians to be gaslighted: How could we be oppressed if our people are so successful? We are put on a pedestal as beaming icons of what every minority group could be like if we could all just learn to deal with racism. Easy enough, right?

I will not be silenced any longer.

The phrase “model minority” was first used in the 1960s to praise Japanese Americans for how quickly they bounced back after experiencing the dehumanizing concentration camps during World

NEEDS TO BE BETTER UNDERSTOOD — NOT OTHERIZED, FETISHIZED OR STIFLED. M. CHEN DESIGN A. AHMADI ILLUSTRATION

There are people who look at an Asian person and only see the subservient shadow of what we are supposed to be. There are people whose first reaction to seeing one of us is to tell us to go back to where we came from, even though we are already standing on the soil of our birthplace. There are people who hear articulate English coming from Asian lips and their first instinct is to compliment our coherence, as if we are not supposed to be fluent in our own language. Stereotypes cling to us like the supposed stenches of our spices. Throughout the history of this country and especially now in this climate of bold anti-Asian hate, one thing is clear: We might be American, but we are not American. To my Asian American peers who are having second thoughts about going outside lest we become the next face on the news — shoved, kicked, beaten, spat on, ran over, shot — this is our country as much as it is anyone else’s. You belong here.

Silenced

To my Asian American peers who are tired of educating people who don’t want to learn: The act of speaking out is taxing. Our attempts to stand up for ourselves have always been met with cherry-picked statistics of high income and university acceptances that eﬀace the experiences of working-class Asian Americans. But your voice is indispensable and greatly needed, especially right now. To my Asian American peers: We will not be otherized, fetishized, silenced or spoken over any longer. Our loud voices, even if they tremble, are much-needed catalysts for change. To the rest of America, understand: We are not your model minority. We are not standing on borrowed land, speaking a borrowed language nor working stolen jobs. We will not be silenced any longer.

Both events took place as a means of protest against police violence and systemic racism, yet these occurrences resulted in many instances of increased violence from police towards both protesters and other Black Americans doing everyday activities like driving home or going to a store. The title, ‘How Much a Dollar Cost?,’ serves to examine a deeper question of how much this country, in particular police departments and officers, value the real and perceived threats to private property during periods of political and social turmoil over these same Black lives that they claim to protect.”

As the week passes by I admire the beauty of this place. People smiling, waving, hugging, laughing, loving, living. The energy of the Divine Spirit fills us from UHALL to Palm South and passes through every single person who asks, “How are you?” and truly means it. I’ll have to admit, though, as beautiful as it is nothing compares to Sunday evenings when students come and fill me, to love and celebrate with their LMU family, all these beautiful gifts we have received. And we share in the simple, ordinary moments that become sacred in the sight of God. As they walk through my doors, their burdens are lifted and their spirits are replenished. As they stand to sing their praise, I hear the voice of God in perfect harmony that echoes out of my stained glass windows and through my wooden doors and into the world carried on the Spirit’s wings: “All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.”

Uniquely Confused I Love You

Bella Hartman Theatre Arts

“This poem addresses the invisible pressures I feel as a woman in society. Who should I be? How much space can I take up? It is exhausting trying to fit into a box — and I find myself currently rebelling against these expectations to set myself free.” I have been told we’re all unique, we’re beautiful creatures with wings, and mysticism, and wonder. I am told we are all beautiful. I am told we are all, all these things. But all I am really is confused. I’m unique but I feel there is a way I should look. I should be unique looking this way, but what is that way? My wings are massive, meant to take me far.

Woman!

Adelaide Brannan Studio Arts “Woman!’ is a commentary on the white American housewife of the 1950s. Her image has been used as a visual example of the ideal woman according to American social and commercial standards. This graphic image is a part of a larger series I’m working on in 2021, which is intended to trigger the viewer to confront their thoughts about the male gaze, objectification of women, and unrealistic, restrictive cultural values she embodies.”

But where should I go? What is the right place to belong to? I am my authentic self, but what should that be? It seems as though what I have been trying isn’t good enough. I stand at the fountain of knowledge, of answers and I drink from its spout. Consuming answers and with it, more questions. Because the more I look to others for information on how I should exist — The less it feels like living and the more it feels like disgusting. The less I recognize this unique individual. The less I want to be me, but it’s not even me to begin with. Now I’m fighting an uphill battle to find me once again. I don’t even know what to look for. After all, I’m so unique... Isn’t it all so confusing? EXPRESSING: IDENTIT Y

LIVING IN LEAVEY 6, Adriana Gomez has welcomed the solitude and extra space that comes with having an apartment — which during non-COVID times would house four students — all to herself. While living alone and under strict University guidelines can make motivation difficult to maintain, there are also benefits to being on the Bluff. Accustomed to her family’s 10-person household, Gomez considers the opportunity to study and attend class in a distraction-free setting (albeit with an often-spotty Wi-Fi connection) a privilege.In fact, the whole campus has felt like a private paradise to Gomez, given the limited number of people allowed to enter its grounds this year. On walks to the Burns Recreation Center for mandatory twice-a-week COVID-19 testing, which began at the start of the spring semester, Gomez has developed a deep appreciation for the natural beauty that surrounds her.

LOGAN PHILIP spent the first few months of the Fall Semester with a friend and their family in Tennessee before realizing that, despite their hospitality, the situation was unsustainable. The household was crowded and often hectic, her classes were taking place in another time zone, and finding work that didn’t put her and those she lived with at risk of contracting COVID-19 was difficult. These health concerns clashed against a need to support herself and her mother financially. Unable to return to New York to live with her family due to a lack of space, Philip reached out to LMU and found support in the Guardian Scholars Program. GSP’s ability to provide Philip with secure oncampus housing and Instacart gift cards for groceries when needed empowered her to prioritize academics and her mental health.

Film & Television Production PRE-PANDEMIC AND PRE-ZOOM DOMINATION, attending LMU while living in the United Arab Emirates might have been incomprehensible. Laine Messier, however, has been doing just that throughout the spring semester—living proof of how drastically this year has changed our perception of what’s possible. Exactly 12 hours ahead of Californiain the Gulf Standard time zone, and committed to attending her classes synchronously, Messier often goes to sleep in the early hours of the morning. Although she expected to return to Los Angeles after winter break, the area’s spike in COVID-19 cases at that time put these travel plans on hold. In the meantime, she has found solace in the beautiful landscape and diverse cuisine of Abu Dhabi.

SO CLOSE, YET SO FAR AWAY, Avery Wagoner lives in Playa Vista, a less-than-10-minute drive from campus. Passing the LMU sign and fountain on the Bluff without being able to turn into those familiar front gates can be disheartening, but Wagoner has enjoyed the freedom of living by her own rules. Being able to welcome a friend into her apartment when she feels it’s safe to do so, as well as participating in virtual sorority events, has helped Wagoner maintain a sense of community. While making responsible decisions on her own and holding herself accountable is a lot of pressure, Wagoner believes that this year has prepared her for life after graduation. Whereas she once felt the need to keep a busy social life and be surrounded by others, the increase in solitude caused by the coronavirus has strengthened her ability to self-motivate.

pandemic pain . . . and growth With the challenges of isolation, quarantine and virtual learning upon us for more than a year, it became even more important for LMU students to acknowledge and actively take care of their mental health. How did students look after themselves during the COVID-19 pandemic? Here are five examples plus some sound advice from a member of the faculty. WORDS F. BERMUDEZ DESIGN K. MATTOCKS ILLUSTRATIONS N. MEINS These interviews originally appeared in the Los Angeles Loyolan and were edited for length.

Meditation and ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ Christina Fazio

Christina Fazio (Psychology) has come a long way on her mental health journey and is hopeful about her future as a marriage and family therapist. Can you share a little bit about your relationship with mental health and what it means to you? Christina Fazio (C.F.) I’ve been in therapy since my junior year of high school. I always had a really bad relationship with mental health … it got to the point [during my] junior year that I had to go see a therapist and that therapist changed my life. Actually, I am currently a psychology major and she [made] me realize that I want to become a marriage and family therapist. Since going to therapy … I fell in love with journaling and I learned ways to process my emotions and how important that is on a day-to-day basis. What are some of the most common emotions you have felt during the pandemic? C.F.: For me it was mostly just a lot of anxiety [because] both my parents are essential workers and they’re both in their 60s. My dad works at a hospital, so I was seeing the statistics rise every day. I think it was anger because I

didn’t finish [the Spring 2020] semester, but also a lot of anxiety [about] my friends, about my family and living in L.A. You feel like … it’s never going to end. What have you been doing to manage that anxiety? C.F.: I’ve always been journaling since forever, but I think quarantine allowed me to develop stricter, routine-based kind of stuﬀ. There’s this little section on Spotify called Daily Wellness and it’s a mixture of your meditation and music you may like. I had always wanted to get into meditation as a routine, but I never really did [in the past]. There are a couple of meditations I listen to every single morning and some at night, and I realized just having that second or a couple minutes in the morning to just breathe … was so crucial for my mental health.

THE TOWER

4/22/21 6:24 PM

Are there any specific hobbies or workouts that have kept you sane during this time? C.F.: I really wanted to get into working out because I’ve always really liked it, but I wanted to [work out] for myself, rather than to look a certain way. I’ve also been reading a lot. I think I read like 50 books in quarantine. What has been your favorite book? C.F.: I always really liked the “Crazy Rich Asians” trilogy. I read the first one before the movie came out. I’ve had the second and third one on my bookshelf for a couple years now. I’m finally finishing the trilogy and I was like, “Wow, this is so good!” Have there been any other virtual resources that have helped you? C.F.: I’m also Latina, so there was this one Instagram account [called @latinxtherapy]. It’s almost validating certain fears or anxieties that you may have. In that kind of culture … mental health is very stigmatized. I follow a lot of other accounts [that] do a check in and make these really cool little graphics. I think that’s a really good way to have resources. I work at a Suicide Prevention Center. I just started working there [in the fall], but they also provide us really good resources if you’re in a crisis. Do you think you will make any lifestyle changes in the future when the pandemic is over? C.F.: Yeah. I realized that I kind of take pictures of everything, and I use my social media all the time. I’ve also watched the Netflix documentary “The Social Dilemma.” It did make me reflect about how I can be so into my phone. If I see a sunset, I want to enjoy it. If I’m having lunch with people, I want to enjoy it rather than take a picture to [post]. I would [previously] go to concerts and I would film the entire concert basically instead of actually listening to the music. In one word, how do you feel about the future? C.F.: Hopeful.

The Power of Prayer and Living in the Moment Tommy Mix

Tommy Mix (Studio Arts) moved into a sober living home in the midst of the pandemic. His road to recovery relies on his attitude of gratitude and strong sense of faith. Can you share a little bit about your relationship with mental health and what it means to you? Tommy Mix (T.M.): I mean, at a young age I started going to therapy. I realized that [the way I felt] wasn’t the way I was supposed to feel, so I reached out for help. Since I was 15, I’ve been doing therapy and things of that nature, but in the recent years I’ve really come to take it seriously and take steps to better myself. continued on page 90 SELF-C ARE STRATEGIES

continued from page 89 Is there anything you learned in therapy that was a game changer for you? T.M.: The biggest thing for me is that there’s always support and there’s always a way to make things better. I mean, up until I was at LMU when I met [Bradley Smith, director of LMU’s Center for Student Collegiate Recovery] … I kind of always felt like things were going to end in me dying. I basically took away the fact that things can always get better. That is a great message. What are some of the most common emotions you have felt during the pandemic? T.M.: I felt obviously a ton of isolation. I was very, very lonely and that made me feel really upset and sad. I need connection and I need to be around people who understand the things I’m going through because they go through them as well. The Alcoholics Anonymous meetings are on Zoom right now, but it’s still a really amazing thing either way.

“I’thism worth just taking moment to make myself feel good.” How have you been trying to maintain human connection throughout this time? T.M.: I do daily Zoom Alcoholics Anonymous meetings; that’s been huge for me. There are people who have been through the things that I have and there’s a lot of older guys there who … are deeper in their recovery and they have a lot of amazing things to say. I definitely take refuge in those things … like that daily exhale of “Ah, I can say anything and these people will get it and they’re not going to judge me.”

Besides attending your meetings, what have you been doing to take care of your mental health? T.M.: Just daily prayer, meditation and maintaining a routine throughout the day. I wake up in the morning, and I go outside, and I make a to-do list on one page of a journal. On the other page, I write 10 aﬃrmations like, “The way I love people is an amazing thing” or “I’m so strong for going through the things that I’ve gone through and wanting to face them.” I can be in my head, and I can be really mean to myself, so doing those things … is a really big thing for me. Is creating art therapeutic for you in any way? T.M.: Absolutely, yeah. I find it very meditative just to walk around and look around and take photos of things. Honestly, sometimes I’ll just sit down and I’ll just doodle for a long time. I just like to let my hand go on the paper and then go back into it and see if I see faces or eyes or anything. It’s definitely something that I like to do that helps me get out of my head. Do you have a go-to self-care activity that picks you up when you are feeling down? T.M.: I like to do face masks. I’m painting my nails [and] dyeing my hair … just something expressive. Like I’m worth just taking this moment to make myself feel good. Are there any specific hobbies or workouts that have kept you sane during this time? T.M.: In the morning I do as many push-ups and sit-ups as I can do. I don’t have a specific number or anything, but I just wake up and try to get that energy out. Then I do a plank for as long as I can and I time it with prayer. Prayer is something that I need daily, so that’s something I weave into a lot of aspects [of my life]. When I’m driving, I have a rosary in my car that I’m constantly touching.

“I’ v e learned how to enjoy being by myself a lot more. ” In one word, how do you feel about the future? T.M.: I’m very hopeful. I definitely think this spiritual path I’m on right now is something that gives me tons of hope each and every day. I just want to share that with other people … there’s a lot of addict stigma in our world where people feel like you’re a bum if you have substance-abuse issues. I was given so much hope by God and by people in my life like Bradley Smith. [I am] trying to pass that hope on to other people and kids my age. You don’t have to feel the way that you think you’re going to feel forever. You don’t have to wallow in that shame—there is hope. Thank you for sharing your story. It takes a lot of courage. Do you have any advice to anyone who may be experiencing something similar? T.M.: Put aside all of the judgment of our world and just think about what you need to do to better yourself today. Something that’s helped me so much is realizing that today and this present moment is literally all that exists. Yesterday just exists in my mind, and tomorrow just exists in my mind and literally today is all that exists. That makes it easier for me to handle my life because I don’t have to worry about two weeks from now or anything.

Christmas Music and Staying Connected Ashley Salisbury

Ashley Salisbury (Mechanical Engineering) adopted an optimistic mindset during the pandemic by not allowing anything to get in the way of her relationships with loved ones or her affinity for the holiday season. Can you share a little bit about your relationship with mental health and what it means to you? Ashley Salisbury (A.S.) I know a lot of people that have had diﬀerent ups and downs with their mental health and I guess I’ve been with people through some of those struggles. In turn, that’s made it a very normal thing for me. I have a pretty positive relationship with mental health. I’m really lucky that I didn’t really grow up with any stigmas around it. It’s been very normalized in my life. continued on page 92

continued from page 91 What are some of the most common emotions you have felt during the pandemic? A.S.: I think the main one has been loneliness. I’m really lucky that I’ve been able to hang out with my family, but it’s also definitely not the same. I’d say loneliness and also just anxiety from not knowing what’s going to happen next. There was a point where we were like, “Oh yeah, maybe this will all be over in two weeks.” [I have been] retraining my brain to be OK with not knowing what the next few months are going to look like. What have you been doing to take care of your mental health? A.S.: First of all, getting a therapist has been probably the best thing that I’ve done. I’ve gone to therapy in the past, but this was the first time that I’ve definitely really acted on it and said, “Hey, I need to talk to someone; it’s totally OK.” I needed to make sure I’m taking care of myself in the right way. I guess to target the loneliness I was talking about earlier, I am making sure that I’m putting time into my relationships. I know Zoom fatigue is so real. It sucks going from class to class on your laptop, but I find that it’s totally worth it to FaceTime a friend, even if that means you’re on the screen a little longer. It makes me feel like I’m not alone in this. Do you think you have learned anything new about yourself ? A.S.: I think I’ve learned how to enjoy being by myself a lot more. I’ve always been a little introverted [and] okay with doing things on my own, but now I’ve learned to really appreciate the time that I’m able to have with myself.

“[imy have been] retraining brain to be OK with not knowing what the next few months are going to look like.” For the LMU Concert Choir, have you been able to rehearse together virtually? A.S.: We actually had a little Christmas concert. We’ve been meeting over Zoom. My professor and our pianist have been in the auditorium, which is nice. They can play things for us and we sing, but we’re on mute. Obviously, it’s not the same … but it’s definitely nice to keep going to rehearsal and remember that these people were in my life before and they’re still in my life even though I don’t see them in person. Speaking of music, what kind of music have you been listening to recently? A.S.: I feel like I’ve spent a lot of time listening to music during quarantine just because it’s something available to do. I definitely had my “Folklore” [by Taylor Swift] phase a couple of months ago … that was really good. Dolly Parton came out with a Christmas album. I think she was really early on that train, but also Christmas music is definitely good for my mental health. That’s something I incorporate in my self-care routine because the pandemic is happening and we’re all not where we thought we would be, but that didn’t mean Christmas was canceled. In one word, how do you feel about the future? A.S.: I’m excited because there are a lot of things that I hope to experience soon, but I miss. I also think that coming out of what we’re in with a fresher mindset will be good. I feel like I’m getting a lot of my priorities in order now that I don’t have as much to do.

Helping Himself, Helping Others Kevin Shon

Kevin Shon (Psychology) is a student leader in the Wellness Educator Program, which raises awareness of mental health issues in the LMU community. Since joining the program, Shon prioritized his own mental health while encouraging others to do the same. Can you share a little bit about your relationship with mental health and what it means to you? Kevin Shon (K.S.) I was really born into the mental health field. My mother is a clinical psychologist and my father is a professor of social work. Since Day One, I have been hearing about all of this. There is a lot of stigma around mental health and as someone who has struggled with mental health, it is really important for me to spread knowledge about it and let people know they are not alone and there are resources they can reach out to.

“itfor ismereally important to spread knowledge about it and let people know they are not alone and there are resources they can reach out to.” Can you tell me more about what the Wellness Educator Program does for the LMU community? K.S.: We work with licensed therapists and psychologists. What we do is we receive requests from different organizations on campus. They specify which kind of mental health topic they would like to talk about such as anxiety, toxic positivity, depression or dealing with COVID-19 stress management. We prepare [presentations for] talking to these different organizations and opening up the floor for any questions. We give them a list of resources to reach out to as well. What is the most valuable lesson you have learned from being a Wellness Educator? K.S.: My first week there, I learned I had pretty severe anxiety, which I was never aware of because obviously anxiety takes many different forms. Having such an open space to talk with people who we physically can’t be with right now has been phenomenal. We talk about our problems, we talk about our days, we talk about our weeks and we discuss a bunch of different current events that are continued on page 94

continued from page 93 going on. Being part of an organization that preaches mental health awareness has definitely piqued my interest even more in reading all of these diﬀerent studies online about it. Have you incorporated any tips you have learned from being a Wellness Educator into your own life? K.S.: We talk a lot about contemplative awareness and meditation to try and alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression. What I do every day now is I wake up and I meditate for about 10 minutes and periodically throughout the day. I will just look around at everything happening around me and I just appreciate it to slow my life down a little bit. Besides meditation and gratitude, what else have you been doing to take care of your mental health? K.S.: I am a really outdoorsy person, so I have been going on hikes specifically in the Topanga area and Santa Monica Mountains. I am [going] to the beach, obviously with a mask as well. Going for runs and calling my friends and family has definitely been key to help me in this time period.

will happen next. Life is far too short to sustain negative energy toward others. And I don’t think anyone could have predicted that we would be living through a global pandemic. If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that our time is incredibly valuable. The unexpected will always occur so treat yourself and others with love! In one word, how do you feel about the future? K.S.: Uncertain. Uncertain but also hopeful if it’s okay that I use two words. I don’t think anyone knows what the future holds but what I do know is that our generation is absolutely phenomenal. We are the ones who ask questions. We are the ones who challenge authority. We are the ones who know how the world should be and we are the ones who I believe have the power to get us there. I am uncertain of what our future will look like but I know that we will come out of this year stronger than ever.

As a Wellness Educator, what would be your advice to students struggling with their mental health? K.S.: I want to gear this specifically toward collegiate men. Women generally feel more inclined and empowered to express feelings of vulnerability and seek professional help than men. This is often misinterpreted as “women = emotional” and “men = strong.” This is just one example of an obstacle men face that prevents them from seeking professional help. I want to emphasize that this has been a tumultuous year and that your mental health is incredibly important to reflect on and cater to. Your feelings are valid and you are stronger than the obstacles in your path. Do not be afraid to reach out! Do you think you will make any lifestyle changes in the future when the pandemic is over? K.S.: I don’t want to leave any interaction on a bad note because life is unpredictable...you never know what

The Upside of All That Family Time Isabel Bettina Velasquez

Isabel Bettina Velasquez (Finance) spent the pandemic isolating at home in Hawaii while taking comfort in reading, cooking and watching anime. Even after months at home, she still cherished the extra family time. Can you share a little bit about your relationship with mental health and what it means to you? Isabel Bettina Velasquez (I.V.) I find [mental health] very important because it’s a topic in my family that is actually kind of seen as very taboo. In our generation, I want it to not be seen as such a bad stigma. You know, it’s not just about being sad. I actually have anxiety and I have gone through episodes of depression, so I do understand what mental health is. What are some of the most common emotions you have felt during the pandemic? I.V.: The most common one would have to be anxiety. I became more worried about my future and my career because of what is going on, especially with getting internships for next summer and how hard it is right now in the job market. I think [when you are] cooped up at home, little things start to bother you. What have you been doing to take care of your mental health? I.V.: I have been reading a lot of books. I’ve been watching a lot of anime. I’ve been cooking. I try to spend time with my family when they are not busy. Do you think you have been paying more attention to your mental health during this time? I.V.: Yeah, I have been. Sometimes I reflect on what’s happening now and how I’m feeling [versus] how I felt when we were on campus in L.A. and it’s not the same. I do go to therapy with my therapist here in Hawaii more often than I would before.

“Right now, I’ m trying to really appreaciate the now and not to be theso worried about future.” Have you been trying to stay active? I.V.: I usually try to work out at least two to three times a week because I noticed that the more I actually try to stay active, the more my anxiety is well-maintained. I at least try to go out two times a week, just to the grocery store or if my family needs to do something. Are there any virtual resources for mental health that you have found helpful? I.V.: I use TikTok a lot, but it’s not like [I follow] that Hype House. I go on more of this side where people talk about their struggles with anxiety. [These content creators show] how they face body dysmorphia and having stress living in this pandemic. I think that seeing people in similar situations like I am gives me a sense of reassurance. It’s not only me who is going through this. Have there been any silver linings of your experience during the pandemic? I.V.: I would say being able to spend more time with my family. Usually I’m not here at all most of the year and this is one of the rare moments I’ll be able to spend time with them for a long time. When we graduate, we’re going to work and we’re going to be so busy. Right now, I’m trying to really appreciate the now and not be so worried about the future. SELF-C ARE STRATEGIES

From ‘Negative Nancy’ to “How of Happiness”

Myla Bui

Associate Professor of Marketing Myla Bui shares five strategies to combat mental health challenges.

WHEN ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR of Marketing Myla Bui was called a Negative Nancy as an undergraduate, she immediately felt shame. She asked herself why she was being punished for verbalizing how she felt. Although a painful moment, this was a turning point in Bui’s life. Being called a Negative Nancy sparked her interest in exploring the outcomes associated with negative emotions. “Keeping silent has literally become deadly for our society,” said Bui. “This year of 2020 has done us a favor in highlighting how social-cultural stigmas such as anxiety, stress, depression and suicide are topics that need to become normative discussion in our culture.” With an estimated 275 million people suﬀering from anxiety disorders worldwide, according to the World Economic Forum, Bui’s advice is more important than ever. Bui shared her extensive research surrounding mental health in the "Let’s Talk: Breaking the Silent Taboo of Mental Health” event in November as part of the Impact Insights Webinar Series from the College of Business Administration.

practice positive activities Positive activities can increase healthy thoughts and behaviors. Bui mentioned the benefits of expressing gratitude, performing acts of kindness, cultivating strengths, visualizing the future and meditating.

create a healthy environment practice visualization

We have the power to impact ourselves consciously through altering our environments in minor ways. Bui buys small dining plates to encourage healthy portion sizes. She also keeps a bowl of fresh fruit on her counter so it is easily accessible.

Manifestation is a valuable tool for working toward goals. Making a vision board is advantageous as images provide you with a taste of the future. According to Bui, these vision boards must be positive, reflect something in the future and be completely yours.

find the silver linings foster good habits Habits must be formed in a stable context, which can be achieved through repetition. Bui recommends stacking habits. She offered up the example of flossing immediately after brushing teeth as the latter is already an established habit.

Resilient people are able to cope more effectively during hardships by utilizing humor, relaxation techniques and optimistic thinking. Even when you find yourself in a difficult situation, try to find a silver lining. There is always a lesson to be learned in dark times.

OCD

Ryan Waldheim Psychology “I’ve struggled with obsessive-compulsive disorder for about four years, and I wanted to give it a physical form. There’s a lot of fear, anger, confusion and exhaustion that comes with OCD but I wanted to focus on how OCD can be the villain of your life and make you feel helpless. While I can’t perfectly convey the exact experience of OCD with just an image, I hope that my drawing reminds people that they aren’t alone in what they’re going through.”

On Addiction

Matthew Goddard Studio Arts “In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, I found myself at my family home in Sacramento. After finishing my junior year of college, I sought lethargic releases and found myself experimenting with analog collage. In this work, I used different clippings from books, magazines and printed images that I had collected over the years. Afterward, I created a physical composition of the clippings, scanned in the composition and digitally colored it. Addiction is a trait that runs in both sides of my family. It is a very personal major awareness that I carry throughout my life. I aimed to visualize and explore recurring cycles of addiction as well as the perceived and objective effects of drug use on the physical and mental self.”

RESILIENCE a left pocket full of dreams

Alan Corvaia Theatre Arts

“This art piece was made with my left foot as an homage to physically impaired people as well as those who suffer from cerebral palsy. My questions were sparked by the work of Christy Brown, as he did not let his mental condition prevent him from serving the world with his creativity. To me, it serves as proof that all living human beings are creative beyond their imagination, that every one of us is an artist within and has the capacity to plant seeds of love on other people’s souls. It’s just a matter of waking up and realizing that on your shirt’s left pocket you have a pulsar of dreams known as the ‘heart,’ and as long as it beats, so do our dreams.”

Space Case

Lauren McLane Communication Studies “This work aims to characterize poor mental health in the form of apathy and detachment — what I recognize in myself as the ‘middle ground’ of mental health. I wanted to physically represent what it’s like when you just feel gross on the inside rather than rage or despair — poor mental health can make you feel weak and sickly, tired, or just checked out, as if you were floating aimlessly in space (the background). But it’s sometimes harder than a physical illness for others to visualize, so for me at least, this is what it would look like on the outside. The subject’s eyes are tired and unfocused, their skin is sort of discolored, and they are clearly unwell — not dead or dying, but certainly not living. I also tend to zone out and get distracted easily, and this is what I imagine a ‘space case’ might look like when they’re in that weird mental ‘middle’ place between health and sickness; between being awake and being asleep; between self-control and self-neglect.”

End The Stigma

Brandon Klein Studio Arts “My work is about ending the stigma around mental health to help start a conversation about the issue. I display pills in an attractive way to showcase that everyone is going through problems.”

How To Cope

Gaby Guerrero Theology “During quarantine, my anxiety has become more acute than ever, and it has been a struggle to be gentle with myself. This is the cover of a notebook that I collaged one night after a particularly bad bout of anxiety. I had told a friend on the phone that I wished I had a guardian angel that would help me. I went into one of my books and found a picture of Gabriel, my namesake. It was a moment where I decided that my guardian angel would be me. The idea is that it’s a guide for me, written by me, about how to cope. I use it to write out anxious thoughts, reassure myself, and practice self love. The score on the left side is my driver’s test result, because it took me six years to get it, and I want to remind myself to be patient with myself. The bottom right text (“A woman’s place is in the church”) is to remind me of my goal to be a voice for women and for change in the Catholic Church. The handwritten note (it ain’t time to worry yet Scout) was written to me my sophomore year of high school by my best friend. She dropped a card at my house after I had a horrible anxiety episode, and that line from To Kill A Mockingbird has become our shorthand for “everything’s going to be OK.” The G is for Gaby, and the last quote I bought at my favorite shop at home and it reminds me that I am strong. The background is bougainvillea, my favorite flower.”

Brittany Lee Studio Arts

“To set the scene, I have been struggling to finish this painting for the past two years. It took me moving from Tokyo, plenty of time in quarantine and all of 2020 for me to finally have a revelation on how to complete this oil painting duo. I would like those who view it to interpret it as they may. I find art can be extremely therapeutic in such stressful and disorienting times. With this practice, I hope to one day become an art therapist myself to share this passion and coping skill with others.”

The Show

Nayana Thompson Studio Arts “This piece is the representation of my own struggles with mental illness, as well as others’. There’s a puppet and a puppeteer because it demonstrates struggling mentally from the mindless actions caused by the brain. I entitled it ‘The Show’ because sometimes I feel like because I’m not necessarily ‘acting’ depressed it feels like I’m faking it, when in reality I’m struggling just as much as someone who does display lack of hygiene or not being able to feel or show genuine joy. The whole piece is so dark because it encapsulates the feelings of isolation and continuous fighting with the brain. I don’t think this piece is only a representation of myself but also of others as well and I think that’s the most important thing when it comes to a topic like this.”

In its first season under head coach Stan Johnson, the men’s basketball team had plenty to celebrate. The team finished third in the West Coast Conference, its highest conference finish in 15 years.

The women’s volleyball team’s 7-9 season included an upset over No. 18 San Diego and two 3-0 sweeps against Santa Clara to close out their season. “I’m proud of our team for sticking with it all year and finishing the season with two wins,” said head coach Aaron Mansfield.

The definition of “success” for Division I teams was a bit of a moving target during a year that included mandated virus testing, cancelled contests, seasons suddenly put on pause, and a renewed emphasis on social justice and sports as an agent for social change.

speak up & dribble The women’s basketball team used this year of upheaval as an opportunity to explore a number of social justice issues. LMU WOMEN’S BASKETBALL used its 2020-21 season to do a lot more than shoot hoops. The Lions used their platform as Division I athletes to speak up about the issues that matter to them and created a social justice committee to explore equity and inclusion issues on and oﬀ the court. Along with several other LMU teams, wearing social justicethemed jerseys was one initiative that came out of their committee meetings. The women’s team debuted its black jerseys, each with an individualized player-picked phrase on the back under the number, in a win over Pepperdine in January. The Lions also wore the jerseys during their final home game in February. Head coach Charity Elliott encouraged the players to form the committee and use their voices. “We constantly remind them of the opportunity that they have with the platform they have as student athletes,” she said. “To me, the jerseys are just one more opportunity to use their platform, to use their voice to stand for something that is very important to them.” Elliott spoke for the team when she said, “Not only do [the jerseys] look really good, but I think we all feel really good when they’re wearing them.”

Ariel “Ari” Johnson (Film, TV and Media Studies) made her statement a call to action, not just for the women on the court, but for everyone who might see her jersey and remember the importance of using their voices: “Speak Up.” Johnson spoke with grounded conviction: “I think a lot of times, we forget how powerful our voices can be. Especially in times like this it’s important for us to stand up and speak up for what we believe in and for what’s right. I just wanted to put that as a reminder to everyone: We need to speak up.” Johnson made sure her message was loud and clear. When it comes to issues of social justice, “Silence is not an option.”

Forward Khari Clark (Chemistry) chose a statement she especially wants white people to take note of: “Black Equity.” Clark spoke of the systemic issues people of color face, such as barriers to education and financial stability that she believes her white counterparts are not exposed to and need to be addressed in order to have true racial equity. “I feel like a lot of people, which is surprising, don’t understand the challenges and obstacles that people of color and Black people face on a day-to-day basis,” Clark stated. Clark is looking to start a conversation with her jersey that she hopes can lead to active social change: “I think raising that question of ‘what does that mean’ and ‘how can I contribute to that’ is why I want white people to see Black Equity on the back of my jersey.”

#2 CIERA “CICI” ELLINGTON SOCIOLOGY

Guard Ciera “CiCi” Ellington (Sociology) went with a personal message for herself, her teammates, Breonna Taylor and the long line of Black women in the United States’ names that have been swept aside before her: “I Matter.” “I feel like the platform for Black women is very small and I think that everyone else should know that we matter too,” Ellington said. She spoke passionately about the intersectional problems she and other Black women face every day: “We’re Black and we’re women on top of that, so we can fall victim to everything: racism, sexism, classism, homophobia. We can experience everything.” Ellington wants anyone who sees her jersey to know that Black women matter and deserve to be seen.

SOCIOLOGY

Forward Jasmine Jones (Sociology) cares deeply for the Earth and the people living on it. Therefore, it made sense that she used her jersey to catalyze others asking questions and taking action: “Save Our Planet.” Jones explained the two sides she sees to this phrase: “I looked at it as: One, our planet is dying because of humans,” Jones said, referencing oil drilling and deforestation among the harms being done. She continued with the other side to the phrase, “Two, saving our planet can mean that everyone was put on this planet to love each other and we’re killing each other,” she said. While the phrases each player made with their jerseys varied, the process they went through to get there was 100 percent a team effort. “We wanted to make a statement,” Jones said.

#11 HALEY HERDMAN PSYCHOLOGY

Guard Haley Herdman (Psychology) chose to put a statement on her jersey in solidarity with her teammates and to honor the life of Breonna Taylor: “Say Her Name.” Herdman said that using her platform to amplify the voices of Black women who too often go unheard was important to her. “I think it’s important to lift the stories of Black women in our country,” Herdman said. “My team, the majority of them are Black women and they are so powerful, and it makes my heart hurt to see the way that our country treats them.” Herdman said her goal was “raising Black women’s voices and showing my support for them, for my teammates.”

Poetry readings, book clubs and journalism seminars are all great examples of what we’ve done in the past and can continue to do in the future. I’m also hoping that it will serve as a place for students to reengage with the LMU community after being removed from it for so long.”

“TO SAY THE LMU COLLEGE of Communication and Fine Arts felt challenged when remote instruction was mandated due to the COVID-19 pandemic is an understatement. Experiential, embodied and collaborative learning is such a key component of the many disciplines within CFA, and as our studio classes, rehearsals, exhibitions, debates, speaker series, performances and recitals were initially threatened due to the coronavirus pandemic, many worried that some critical academic experiences simply could not be replicated in the online environment. What we learned instead is that our departments are remarkably resilient, discovering new ways of engaging performance and experiential events in ways that have taught students new skills, and attracted thousands of new audience members from all over the world. “While remote instruction necessitated by COVID-19 restrictions proved to be a challenge, it was not insurmountable to the indomitable spirit of engaging the disciplines in the College of Communication and Fine Arts to both inspire audiences and to continue the breadth and depth of training for our students. Faculty, staﬀ and students have bonded in the creative process and have established new approaches and opportunities for performance and presentation that transcend the restrictions of COVID-19.”

“Mybeenprofessors have truly incredible with the tough transition to online classes. There’ s been lots of and mental health check-ins just generally asking us how we are doing.” HALEY SKARULIS THEATRE ARTS

Faculty and students have found new technology solutions to allow simultaneous remote rehearsals to still occur, replicating the in-person experience of shared music-making as much as possible including the annual Winter Choral Concert that also features students talking about the impact of their COVID experience as well as why they sing and participate in the choirs.

SHAKESPEARE ON THE BLUFF Theatre Arts decided to forge ahead and reinvent their process by presenting the annual Shakespeare on the Bluff festival live on Zoom, utilizing clever set design, acting techniques, and props to locate the actors and connect them on-screen. The department continued its tradition of The Haunting on Hannon fully online further developing the art and craft of using Zoom for innovative performance which also has expanded the repertoire of actors and directors to work remotely, but to harness the energy and desire to create theatre for diverse audiences in diverse locations.

SECOND THURSDAYS The Music department established

a virtual concert series called “Second Thursdays” which is a free event and features current students, alumni and faculty performing from their remote locations.

KALEIDOLA SPEAKER SERIES The Art and

Art History Department, in addition to finding inventive online gallery spaces to showcase student work, continued its KaleidoLA Speaker Series in conjunction with the CFA Laband Art Gallery and presented a series of BIPOC inspired and embodied national artists, who gave public presentations and demonstrations via Zoom.

with plays being presented both live and asynchronously, culminating in a live end-of-year performance of Lysistrata, in which students and staff worked together to create a scale model of the Acropolis. Similarly, LMU Dance pivoted online for instruction and leading the Fall Dance Concert “Together and Apart” in which students learned how to configure personal devices into professional tools for filming themselves, exploring optimum conditions of location and lighting — then individual pieces were processed through digital production that illuminated not only the innovation and response to remote instruction, but an emergent interest in the department in dance for the camera.

RACIAL JUSTICE Throughout the summer and fall 2020, BCLA faculty

contributed to curricula and other opportunities for students to deepen their exploration of racial justice issues, as we listened to students, alumni and each other about the effects of racism and racial violence. As BCLA’s Coordinator for Diversity & Inclusion Initiatives, Dr. Stefan Bradley helped create a repository of resources through which faculty shared syllabi and readings with each other. They had conversations about effective pedagogies and facilitation of productive classroom discussions. Many BCLA faculty members were called upon by local and national media to comment on events unfolding and to provide perspectives on issues of diversity, equity, inclusion and justice grounded in their academic research.

RESEARCH Faculty have also used COVID-19 as a lens for hands-on teaching

and research. Psychology professors Brett Marroquín and Máire Ford independently conducted research on the psychological effects of social distancing and stayat-home orders and engaged several BCLA students as research assistants. The Psychology Department quickly invested in software and online tools that provided students, faculty and staff with opportunities to develop and continue their research in our virtual learning/working environment. In fact, many students and faculty have been able to learn new skills and expand their repertoire of research proficiencies.

LIBERAL ARTS IN ACTION Over the summer, we launched our

Liberal Arts in Action series featuring discussions and workshops from BCLA’s own distinguished and accomplished faculty members. Participants have included LMU students, faculty, staff, alumni, supporters and members of the community at large. The series explores a variety of fascinating, thought-provoking and timely topics through a liberal arts lens, while also keeping us connected as a community of lifelong learners during this time of remote study and work. We continued this series into the 2020-21 academic year with lectures related to the 2020 presidential campaign, a distinguished offering of impressive commentators on international affairs hosted by our Global Policy Institute and our 2020-21 Bellarmine Forum focused on “Building Transformative Justice.”

GUEST LECTURERS Thanks to the flexibility of Zoom, our students

have enjoyed a range of new learning experiences, including guest lectures from accomplished professionals like the one of the country’s top sportswriters Gary Smith; acclaimed authors Yuval Taylor and Hanif Abdurraqib; and even “The Bachelor” host Chris Harrison. LMU students in Tom Plate’s “Foreign Perceptions” course used a combination of Zoom, email and Facetime to collaborate with Yonsei University students on substantive reports delving into U.S.-South Korea issues. These are some of the countless examples.

LAB KITS Many professors sent out “lab-in-a-box” packages to students

so they had the materials to conduct experiments at home. For example, students in the Molecular Biology Applications course received a “bento-bio box” which allowed them to do polymerase chain reactions (PCR) and visualize DNA at home. Students in General Biology I Lab conducted experiments on yogurt that they cultured themselves at home. For engineering, lab kits were also sent to students to provide them with hands-on experience. For first-year engineering courses, students received materials to either develop an automatic plant watering system using moisture sensors, build a digital thermometer or build a Morse code communication system. Students in Circuits Lab received portable versions of lab equipment to conduct experiments covering electrical engineering basics such as Ohm’s Law and Kirchoff’s Law. Our Computer Science department created a virtual campus on Discord which has been a wonderful platform for student collaboration and networking.

ACTIVE PARTICIPATION Many screenwriting students found that being able to see their classmates all at once actually helped them in their critiques and promoted more open dialogue. Writing faculty felt the same. And it gave students a chance to model in practice what the industry has adopted for series work: virtual writing rooms. By all reports, that approach is going to live on beyond the pandemic, so it’s great training for our students for their “road after” graduation.

“Even though it’ s sometimes annoying, one way my professors have kept me engaged is calling onhavememyin hand class raised. even ifI’Ivedon’foundt that it keeps me present despite being in a virtual space and I’ v e gotten more out of the classes where my professors do this!” YINKA AKINLADE FILM AND TELEVISION PRODUCTION & SPANISH

“WE ARE AN INCREDIBLY resilient and adaptable community — because those are the very qualities needed to succeed in the film and television industry ... and get through a pandemic. Yes, there were challenges. Faculty had to adjust syllabi and modes of instruction to still deliver students innovative opportunities to practice essential filmmaking and storytelling techniques. There were many more constraints in place in terms of talent, crews, locations and equipment. Students made short films using mostlyfamily and friends as on-camera talent and backup crew. Yet, what they discovered — similar to what I discovered over the course of decades of professional filmmaking as well – is that it’s those very constraints, financial and otherwise, that often lead to the most creatively satisfying work. “To a person, the faculty have said that students delivered some of the strongest films they’ve seen. Pandemic-induced constraints forced everyone to work harder on their stories and scripts, and the results shone through in their final films. Plus the whole SFTV community — faculty, staﬀ, students and their families — got to celebrate students’ recent work when we staged our first-ever virtual 2020 SFTV Awards in September.”

SUMMER WORKSHOP SERIES INDUSTRY GUESTS The SFTV faculty and events teams have

been able to bring in more industry guests! From acclaimed screenwriter of Moonlight Tarell McCraney; writer and co-creator of Ratched Evan Romansky, MFA ’16; to the nearly 40 guest speakers that Zoomed with SFTV students last Spring alone, we landed folks whose schedules or geographic location would have prohibited them from joining us before.

Screenwriting faculty created a summer Zoom workshop series that not only benefited current students, but will be available in our online library to all students for years to come.

PERSEVERANCE DESPITE LIMITATIONS

SFTV students proved that expressive filmmaking is not only possible with limited means, it can result in incredible work. For example, Ashley Seering’s MFA short“Last Bite” was named Best in Show at the Holiday Horror Fest and was part of AudPop’s Holiday Film Festival. Created for her PROD 685 course, the short follows a very paranoid vampire trying to arrange contactless food delivery in the midst of a global pandemic. Sasha Lebedeva’s “Stay at Home”, which started as an assignment for her Directing for Screenwriters class, turned into a short film that premiered on NoBudge, one of the leading online platforms for independent film.

SHADOWING PROGRAM

The Department of Finance spearheaded a Remote Job Shadowing Program to provide a professional virtual experience for finance students who did not have an internship lined up. Each student was paired with a finance professional who volunteered their time and knowledge on a variety of topics.

BUSINESS INCUBATOR SHOWCASE The Entrepreneurship Program held its first-ever virtual Business Incubator Showcase where student entrepreneurs presented their exciting new businesses from the semester. After the presentations, each team had their own breakout session where attendees could connect with the student entrepreneurs and ask more in-depth questions about their businesses.

Amanda Meegan completed an internship in Global Investments at the California Governor’s Office.

“My favorite part of the internship was the amazing team I thegot international to work with. team Everyone on was so passionate about international business, which made them so effective at their jobs Working with such talented and dedicated people was inspiring, and truly helped me foster my own passion for international business.” AMANDA MEEGAN MARKETING

Our “Business for Good” course, which was taught for the first time over Summer 2020, tasked students with launching a product for low-income customers in Mexico and Honduras while achieving economic, social and environmental sustainability. Students conducted virtual interviews with potential beneficiaries and stakeholders, and presented their business plans via Zoom to a panel of faculty and experts, outlining the problem andits business-viable solution.

FLIPPED CLASSROOMS

Marketing professors Mitch Hamilton and Julian Saint Clair prepared for the Fall 2020 virtual semester by enhancing the flipped classroom method they’ve been increasingly employing: having students view video lectures before each class then come to class ready to work. This allows the classroom to work more like a lab than a lecture, and allows students to bring experiential learning into a guided class session rather than working through problems at home on their own.

“I AM SO PROUD OF our teachers and students for the strength, creativity and resilience they have shown in the midst of a global pandemic. We rallied quickly to have all 120 faculty members convert their business courses to an online platform. Many had never been on Zoom. From the very beginning, our faculty have taken a proactive and entrepreneurial approach to confront the crisis head-on and embraced the opportunity to innovate and rethink how we deliver education in new and exciting ways. “Our students have also shown incredible resilience as they pivoted to an online learning experience. They had to adapt quickly to Zoom oﬃce hours, virtual team projects and online events. Our student societies and clubs continued to oﬀer virtual programming with amazing speakers and networking opportunities with alumni and employers. The skills students are gaining during this pandemic — agility, entrepreneurial spirit, problem solving, ethical leadership and emotional intelligence — are the skills employers are looking for. “In times like this, our mission resonates now more than ever: we advance knowledge and develop business leaders with moral courage and creative confidence to be a force for good in the global community. This mission is guiding us as we equip our students with new and valuable skills to become stronger, more resilient business leaders who positively impact their organizations and society.

“SOE HAS DEMONSTRATED extraordinary resilience as a teaching and learning community throughout Covid-19. Our graduate students — future teachers, counselors, school psychologists and educational leaders — are excelling in their roles whether they offer their services online or in-person, because they now have the skills to do both. We have found the same to be true of our faculty, also. “In addition, SOE’s faculty, staff, and students have found new ways to support one another socially and emotionally during these difficult times, thus fulfilling one of LMU and SOE’s most important missions to educate the whole person.”

PLATFORMS FOR SUPPORT Our community is using virtual

platforms to offer academic and social/emotional support:

1. SOE faculty note that that virtual support sessions have helped them reach graduate students who might otherwise be too timid to approach them in person. 2. Virtual support sessions have helped faculty develop better relationships with grad students because there is more time to get to know them in the online setting versus having chats that are squeezed in before or after their courses. 3. Student leaders in our Counseling and School Psychology programs have found new ways to help their peers connect with one another via social media and Zoom events.

FOUNDATIONS Foundations in Online Instruction demonstrates flexibility: 1. SOE has offered a Foundations in Online Instruction course for many years prior to the pandemic. 2. Throughout 2020, this course has been reshaped and improved by LMU’s own iDEAL Institute, whose expert staff train future teachers to offer instruction online using cutting-edge, research-vetted tools and methods. 3. The skills that our grad students are learning in this course are more valuable than ever.

STRIVING FOR ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE & SUPPORT Our students are living up to the school’s mission of offering

an excellent, equitable education and support to all students in all settings: 1. As student-teachers, our grad students have organized their lessons to serve all students despite the economic and social challenges many of their students have faced during the pandemic (e.g. unemployment, food insecurity, lack of Internet access).

2. They’ve adapted lessons for students who are struggling readers; students in Special Education; students who are learning English. 3. Grad students in School Psychology provided students, parents, teachers and clients inschools and community settings with much-needed virtual mental health support and resources to work through the pandemic and the racial unrest of 2020.

ADAPTING TO VIRTUAL EDUCATION Our students

are embracing virtual teaching and instructional platforms and methods: William H. Hannon Library

1. SOE’s graduate students in our teaching and learning programs serve as student-teachers. They’ve worked very hard in the past year to master online teaching platforms and to embrace virtual instructional methods. Many were initially hesitant to be on video with their students; now they’re comfortable and confident working remotely. 2. We’ve seen tremendous grow thin the number of digital tools our graduate students use as student-teachers, and in their creativity while using them. Once they became comfortable with various platforms (e.g. Zoom, Brightspace, PearDeck, FlipGrid) they’ve provided engaging interactive lessons for both whole-and small-group instruction. 3. Our graduate students have gone the extra mile to offer non-tech tools that support their own students in the online learning environment. For instance, one grad student created a reading and writing binder that she dropped off at each student’s home so that students could work together online using the materials appropriate to them (one student in this class benefited from the use of specialized writing paper due to their writing disorder).

our year of answerless questions THE UNFATHOMABLE REALITY OF A YEAR SPENT ENTIRELY AWAY FROM THE BLUFF HIT HARD, ESPECIALLY FOR THE CLASS OF ’21.

MY VIEW

Cate Donohue

“THERE ARE YEARS THAT ASK QUESTIONS AND YEARS THAT ANSWER.” —Zora Neale Hurston Answers were in such scarce supply this year, I almost felt stupid for having questions — as though the urge to ask was an old, evolutionary trait that had become obsolete, its continued existence inexplicable.

“Why bother thearound people me with questions when no one could say anything with certainty anymore?” 160

Why bother the people around me with questions when no one could say anything with certainty anymore?

Without an abundance of answers about the future, I spent a lot of my final year as an LMU student focusing on the past. Reminiscing comes naturally with May graduation approaching. It also comes with the realization that my final year at LMU hasn’t been at LMU at all, but in a Playa Vista neighborhood — just close enough to campus to see

the Bluﬀ on an afternoon sanity walk and just far enough below it to be reminded that I’m not there. I haven’t been there all year, and I don’t know when I’ll be back again. What answerless people tend to do is imagine. Over the summer, before county-mandated health protocols sealed our Fall (and then Spring) Semester fates, I imagined walking from class to class in a mask, looking around at the other half-hidden faces. I imagined classrooms of less than 10 students with assigned and meticulously spaced-out seating arrangements. I imagined battling the compulsion to take a sip of water during lectures, passing a lockedup Starbucks and peering into a darkened Den. I also imagined rules being broken, people fearing for their lives and the inevitable email that would follow, once again imploring me to vacate campus, return home and remain safe. I imagined it would be better to forego the Bluﬀ altogether, or rather,

as I do now, view it from a disappointing distance and reminisce.

From below the Bluﬀ, I see a young woman looking through the glass of a second story window at Hannon Library. I remember how she only liked to go at night, when she could stare at the glittering skyline in between readings and pretend the far-oﬀ parade of headlights would help guide her through writer’s block.

“Ito imagined it would be better forego the Bluff altogether, orfromrather, as I do now, view it a disappointing distance and reminisce.” I see the same young woman leaving the glow of the Sacred Heart Chapel after 8 p.m. mass, walking back to Tenderich Apartments in the dark, hoping the warmth and peace she experienced over the last hour would surround her all week. I see her

160-161 Cate Sr Reflection and Sr Divider.indd 161

“Four years later and nothing has prepared me for how much I’m going to miss the Bluff and all the amazing people I’ve met at LMU.”

Alexis Cordova Health & Human Sciences

“I missed a lot of the small things about campus. Talking to my friends on Palm Walk, buying donuts from a fundraiser and finding yourself in a library study room late into the night.”

Kevin Chang Biochemistry

sitting on the steps of Lawton Plaza, running into friends at the UHall escalators and throwing a Frisbee around Sunken Garden. I remember her excuse for skipping Fallapalooza and the Christmas Tree Lighting: “I can go next year.” From below the Bluﬀ, I walk back to my apartment. I watch too many episodes of “The Great British Baking Show” and make too much popcorn. I drive to Dockweiler Beach with my roommates and take pictures of the sunset. We plan movie marathons, get excited for trips to Trader Joe’s and, of course, spend hours at a time on Zoom. I joke about moving from the living room coﬀee table to the kitchenette countertop for a change in scenery. I think about how much the world has changed since I was a junior. I wonder what it will look like after graduation and learn to accept that I don’t have the answers.

“I miss the Bluﬀ and all the smiling faces around campus. LMU is my second home, and it’s been hard not being able to go back this past year.”

Congratulations Queen Noora. Since the day you were born you have been the sweetheart of the family. Your love and care for everyone goes beyond any words. Being the calm, articulate member of the family made you the queen of our hearts. You always made us so proud, and on this day of graduation you made us even prouder. Today you have achieved a big milestone on your success path, and entered the real world. We wish the best of luck, and prosperity.

mujer, como profesional como una gran líder que eres. Vas a empezar una etapa de aprendizaje, de altibajos, que la vida te da para enseñarte a luchar por lo que quieres, porque van a haber desilusiones, obstáculos y muchas caídas, pero eso es para fortalecer el carácter y aprender a levantarse cada vez más fuerte, con esperanza y confianza en ti misma. Trabaja mucho tus pensamientos y tus emociones, y nunca desesperes, ten paciencia que todo llega en su momento y no olvides que siempre seré tu apoyo, pero recuerda que no puedo solucionarlo todo, de ti depende el camino que escojas, con tus acciones y desiciones. Te deseo muchos éxitos en todo lo que hagas, estoy segura que cualquier cosa que sea, será sin duda un éxito. Que la bondad, la gratitud, la humildad, el amor y el perdón sean siempre lo que te distinga por encima de cualquier otra cosa hija. Busca siempre donde sea que estes, estar feliz, estar en paz y jamás te olvides de Dios y la Virgen. “Siempre en mayúscula” “Cuídate de TODO siempre”

Te amo con todo mi corazón.
