International graduates face obstacles on U.S. job market

Spending a semester abroad at St. Joe’s

Soon-to-be graduates anxious over future job prospects

International students flock to Philly for cultural experiences

A six-person delegation from Hunan Normal University (HNU) in China visit-ed with University President Mark C. Reed, Ed.D., Provost Jeanne F. Brady, Ph.D., and members of the Saint Joseph’s University community on April 22.

The visit follows an agreement St. Joe’s signed with HNU last year for students to study abroad at St. Joe’s, the eighth agree-ment of its kind with universities in China. The delegation was made up of six admin-istrators, including Li Dazhi, Ph.D., Vice President of Hunan Normal.

“It allows their [undergraduate] students to come here and study abroad,” said Cary Anderson, Ph.D., vice president of Student Life and associate provost. “The other part of the agreement is that the students from their university, if they meet certain criteria, can come to study in our graduate school.”

There is currently one student from Hu-nan Normal studying at St. Joe’s and many other students who are interested in attend-ing next year.

Zilu “Bunny” Liu, a junior at Hunan Normal, has been at St. Joe’s since August, and will return to China in May.

“Not everyone can come for four years, so it’s nice to have somebody come in for a semester or a year to be able to study here,” Anderson said.

One of the reasons Liu decided to come to St. Joe’s was because she wanted to con-tinue with her masters’ degree in America.

Liu added that she loves American cul-

ture and wanted the opportunity to meet lots of new people.

“It helps to globalize and diversify our campus,” Anderson said. “Having students from other countries come and study here is helpful. I think the nice benefit is having the students have the experience and inter-act with other students in classes and those types of things.”

Juan Julie Yu, Ph.D., director of the Chi-nese program at Saint Joseph’s and head of recruitment for the study abroad program, who received her undergraduate degree at Hunan Normal, went with Anderson to Hu-nan last January and hosted an information session for students.

Yu noted how warmly those at Hunan Normal received her and Anderson. Repre-sentatives introduced Anderson to the cul-ture of Hunan.

“My point is to do a culture exchange, and it is our turn to introduce [to] them more about American higher education as well as American culture,” Anderson said. “We are just trying to increase our partnership and it is always good to meet with people. So they’ll meet with the president and the provost and the deans. Then we will host them for dinner. It is a good way to continue to build our rela-tionship.”

In addition to Reed and Brady, the del-egation met with both Chinese and Amer-ican students from St. Joe’s to discuss the differences in American and Chinese edu-cation systems and how to fully incorporate

Chinese students into the culture at St. Joe’s. Dazhi said that they wanted to sign an

agreement with St. Joe’s because of the high-ly ranked academic fields.

Hunan Normal has 24 partnerships with other universities in the United States, but St. Joe’s is the only one in Philadelphia, Dazhi said.

Anderson explained that while right now the focus is on agreements with schools in China, St. Joe’s also has exchange pro-grams in Chile and throughout Europe.

“We have had agreements with various institutions for more than 10 years,” Ander-son said. “We are reviewing some of the ones we’ve had for a while that maybe we haven’t had a lot of activity on and maybe we won’t renew those and maybe we will start some other ones. It was a program that was start-ed before I arrived and we are continuing to maintain that. There is real interest in Chi-nese students to come to the states so I think that it is a good market to do that on.”

“I have had many amazing experiences here at St. Joe’s. I cherish the memories and the mistakes, but will never forget what these last four years have taught me.”

As Sylvia Roshini Premkumar, M.S., ’17, approached her final semester at Saint Joseph’s University, she faced a difficult deci-sion: Spend thousands of dollars and anoth-er year of her life finishing a second degree, or enter the U.S. job market.

Her decision was tougher than most, because unlike most students at St. Joe’s—those with United States citizenship—Prem-kumar, a graduate student from India, would have just one year to find an employer to sponsor her stay in this country. If she could not find sponsorship by the end of this time, she would have to return home to Chennai.

Premkumar chose to temporarily avoid the American job search by extending her studies at Saint Joseph’s. In lieu of graduat-ing this spring, she will work towards a sec-ond degree, which she hopes will make her more attractive to U.S. employers.

Premkumar chose to study in the U.S. because a degree from Saint Joseph’s would let her forge her way into the job market here.

“It’s a different kind of educational expe-rience,” Premkumar said. “A lot of people told me that a master’s degree is great to get here.”

Each year, hundreds of thousands of in-ternational students looking for employment in the U.S. dive into this harrowing process.

“[Some students] would never consider going home without work experience,” said Meryl Halpern, assistant director for Inter-national Student Services. “They consider the work experience in the U.S. a part of their reason for being here. They don’t want to go home just with a degree.”

Before they get to the U.S., students from other countries who want to study full-time at an American university must obtain a F-1 visa. This visa lets them attend classes in the U.S. and work on campus during their first year.

As they approach the end of their time at Saint Joseph’s, international students meet with Halpern, who helps them submit their Optional Practical Training (OPT) paper-work to the U.S. government.

The OPT program grants all interna-tional students permission to work in the U.S. for up to 12 months after graduation, if they choose to stay here after their stud-ies. Students like Premkumar can become

eligible for 12 additional months of OPT by getting another post-secondary degree at a higher degree level.

During the OPT period, students must work at least 20 hours each week in a field related to their U.S. degree. They are allowed 90 days of unemployment during their OPT period to find an appropriate job, but if they can’t find work after three months, they can’t legally stay in the U.S.

“It does scare me a lot,” said Rui Zhang, M.S., ’17. “I saw a lot of people who were really intelligent and had a high education level, and they could not find a job.”

Zhang, who is from Shenzhen, China, said she originally wanted to graduate in De-cember 2016, but decided to prolong her mas-ter’s degree program because she was nervous that she wouldn’t find an internship or job.

When starting this process the first frustrating obstacle is determining the start date for their OPT period, Halpern said. They are given a 60 day grace period after their graduation date to start work, but stu-dents often send in their paperwork months before, when they do not yet have a job.

But this stressful process does not end when international graduates land a job within their field. If they want to continue working in the U.S., they must find an em-ployer who will sponsor them to obtain the holy grail: the H-1B visa.

This visa allows a foreign national to work temporarily in the U.S. for three years, and can be extended for up to six. When a graduate finds an employer who wants to sponsor them for their H-1B visa, they file a petition together. Fees to file this petition cost more than $1,000, but sponsoring com-panies are often willing to put up the money after spending a year training their interna-tional employee, Halpern said.

But this visa isn’t guaranteed. In 2015, 233,000 graduates applied for the H-1B visa, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Of these applicants, only 85,000 visas—less than 3 percent—were granted. Of the visas granted, 20,000 are routinely reserved for master’s degree holders.

Last November students at Georgetown University sat in protest outside the office of their university president. They were sitting in solidarity to object the university’s recent announcement that a newly renovated res-idence hall would be named after a former Georgetown president, Thomas Mulledy, S.J.

Mulledy, a member of the Maryland Province Jesuits, authorized in 1838 the sale of all the Province’s 272 slaves to former Louisiana Governor Henry Johnson and his associate Jessie Batey.

According to the bill of sale, which is a running list of the people to be sold, some of their names and ages were as follows: “Sally a woman forty four, Nancy a woman seventeen, Margaret a girl fifteen, David a boy fourteen, Eliza a girl twelve, Martha a girl five, Thomas a boy five, Sarah Anne a child one.”

The sale netted the Jesuits $115,000, which, in today’s world, translates to over $3 million.

A portion of that money was used to pay off Georgetown University’s debt. Ac-cording to a 2007 article in The Georgetown Voice, Georgetown’s student-run newsmag-azine, the money from the sale was also used to invest in Xavier High School in New York City, Fordham University, and Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia.

“Much of the funding for these schools came from the ignoble sales,” Hubert Cloke, Ph.D., then dean at Georgetown, is quoted as saying in the article.

Cloke retired from Georgetown in 2013. The Hawk could not reach Cloke for further comment.

From their arrival in Maryland in 1634 until the sale of their slaves in 1838, the Je-suits used indentured servants and slave labor to help operate seven plantations that they owned in the Maryland territory. These plantations totaled almost 12,000 acres. Evi-dence suggests that, at least in the beginning, the Jesuits did not have a moral objection to owning slaves.

The Catholic Church, although opposed to slave trading because it involved the steal-ing of people, did not stand against slavery as an institution at that time, said Randall Miller, Ph.D., professor of history at St. Joe’s.

“The basic argument there was that slav-ery was not wrong,” Miller said. “Pro-slavery

people could look to the Bible and point out in the Old Testament God allowed slavery, the Jews were enslaved. Slavery was a cultur-al given.”

On the plantations the Jesuits used the slaves to help them turn a profit, which they then used to fund their missionary activi-ties, according to Craig Wilder, Ph.D., pro-fessor of history at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Wilder, who has written extensively about the institution of slavery in American history, including the connection between Catholic colleges and slavery, confirmed that the plantations were “used to support a whole range of the church’s activities which include schools.”

While the Catholic Church argued for the humane treatment of slaves and urged Catholic masters to make sure families were kept together and the slaves maintained their faith, that didn’t always happen, even on the Jesuit plantations.

Wilder said that the Jesuit plantations received many visitors from the Vatican who would report back on the state of the plantations. One priest, Wilder noted, spoke of violence on the plantations in one of his reports and made references to pregnant women being beaten.

By 1838, the plantations were misman-aged and inefficient, and the Jesuits were losing money instead of making it. General opinion of slavery had also started to turn at the time.

Wilder explained that the Catholic Church had begun to urge the Jesuits in Maryland to distance themselves from slav-ery. By 1843, the Church would ban slavery altogether at its missions.

“Not only was slavery hurting the rep-utation of the Catholic Church, it was get-ting the church involved in a sort of immor-al economy,” said Wilder. “And it was also breaking the morality of the priests them-selves.”

Although Georgetown’s—and the Maryland Jesuits’—connection to slavery has been well documented for decades, the story gained national attention recently as members of the Georgetown community sought to come to terms with this part of the university’s past.

“The specific inspiration for George-

town was the renovation of Mulledy Hall, so that was going to be reopened, and the pres-ident said we need to think about this,” said Adam Rothman, Ph.D., associate professor of history at Georgetown. “It was a combi-nation of scholarship, politics, and local dy-namics that made this come to question.”

Rothman also credited Georgetown stu-dent Matthew Quallen with writing a num-ber of pieces in The Hoya, Georgetown’s student newspaper, which contributed to a raised awareness of the issue.

Thomas Brennan, S.J., Ph.D., associate professor of English, completed his under-graduate degree at Georgetown and then went on to complete his Jesuit vocation-al training in Berkeley, California. When asked if the topic of Jesuits and slavery was highlighted during his training, he said that it was never a secret.

Brennan said the Society of Jesus has al-ways been forthright about this topic and an examination of the documents and teach-ings of the Jesuits would reveal that the Je-suits encourage looking at injustice and sin as something bigger than the individual and part of a larger social structure.

“I think that understanding of sin tells us that this kind of history is going to get closer scrutiny because we’ve encouraged people to think in these terms,” Brennan said.

Georgetown, after pressure from the school community, announced in Novem-

ber 2015 that the school would change the names of two buildings, one named af-ter Mulledy and the other after William McSherry, S.J., another Georgetown presi-dent who assisted with the sale of the slaves. The buildings are now named Freedom Hall and Remembrance Hall until more perma-nent names can be chosen.

The president of Georgetown Univer-sity also tasked a Working Group on Slav-ery, Memory, and Reconciliation, which in-cludes faculty and students, to help confront this part of Georgetown’s past and to see if any reparations can be made to any of the ancestors of the slaves who were sold.

A nonprofit group called the George-town Memory Project is also attempting to track down ancestors of the slaves sold in 1838.

For Wilder, the story at Georgetown is also connected to a larger awareness about the history of slavery in the United States.

“I think in the United States the histo-ry of slavery has largely been either erased or misrepresented,” he said. “We generally denied or diminished the role that slavery played in creating the North, in creating modern capitalism and in creating the Unit-ed States as we know it. Many of the institu-tions that we cherish, their connections to slavery, are starting to be revealed, and so I think it’s important, transformative even.”

1927St. Joseph’s College moves to Overbrook

Saint Joseph’s University was founded as St. Joseph’s College in 1851 by Jesuits from the Maryland Province, just 13 years after the Maryland Jesuits sold off their slaves.

Saint Joseph’s connection to the insti-tution of slavery is less clear than it is for Georgetown University, whose president authorized the sale of the slaves and whose debts were paid off by the sale’s $115,000 proceeds.

One connection for St. Joe’s is Joseph Greaton, S.J., the founder of Old Saint Jo-seph’s Church in Philadelphia.

In 1731, Greaton, a Maryland Jesuit, purchased a plot of land in Philadelphia on Willings Alley, near Fourth and Walnut streets. He built a house on that land and celebrated mass there. Greaton built a chap-el on the site in 1733. The first church was built in 1757.

Greaton came to Philadelphia because the “Jesuits felt that Philadelphia was the greatest city in the colony, and it was des-tined for greatness,” said David Contosta, Ph.D., professor of history at Chestnut Hill College and author of “Saint Joseph’s: Phila-delphia’s Jesuit University: 150 Years.”

Contosta said he wasn’t sure where Gre-aton obtained the money to purchase the

land. He assumed it came from the Mary-land Province.

In 1750, after living, working and prac-ticing his faith at Old Saint Joseph’s Church, Greaton retired to Old Bohemia Plantation in Cecil County, Maryland, a few miles from the Pennsylvania border. It was here that he spent the last three years of his life until he died in 1753 and was buried at the planta-tion.

Old Bohemia was one of seven planta-tions that the Maryland Province owned. The plantation was run by Jesuits and slaves, said Marji Matiniak, president of the Old Bohemia Historical Society. Proceeds from the plantations were used to fund the Jesuit’s mission work in Maryland and neighboring colonies.

Matiniak confirmed that Greaton would have interacted with slaves, at least during his time at Old Bohemia. In fact, oth-er records show that he baptized three slaves while he was there.

In 1949, St. Joseph’s College construct-ed its first formal residence hall on campus, naming the building after Greaton. Greaton Hall was later renamed Tara Hall, but the Greaton Room, a conference room on the first floor of Barbelin Hall, still bears his

name.The next connection involves Saint Jo-

seph’s College first president, Felix-Joseph Barbelin, S.J. In 1838, the year of the sale of the Jesuit slaves, Barbelin arrived in Phila-delphia to serve as curate and pastor of Old Saint Joseph’s. Seven years earlier, in 1831, Barbelin had entered the Society of Jesus as a novice at the White Marsh Plantation in Maryland.

Under Barbelin’s leadership, construc-tion of the present Old Saint Joseph’s Church was completed in 1839. St. Joseph’s College was built attached to the church at Willings Alley in 1851 and opened that year. When the college moved to the university’s current location in 1927, its first academic building was named after Barbelin.

Adam Rothman, Ph.D., professor of history at Georgetown University, explained that many Jesuit projects during that time, such as the building of Saint Joseph’s Col-lege, were funded, at least in part, by the Maryland Province. It’s possible, too, that some of the money from the sale of the slaves was used to help create the college, he said, citing archival documents.

But it’s not a simple case to prove: that profits from the sale of the slaves were used to fund what would become Saint Joseph’s University. The Hawk is still reviewing ar-chival evidence in an ongoing investigation.

“The problem that you have with look-ing at the money immediately after 1838 is there are some clear places where you can follow it,” said Craig Wilder, Ph.D., profes-sor of history at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “But it’s kind of difficult to say dollar for dollar that this money created this school. It’s hard to figure out if it’s exactly that pool of money.”

The clearer connection is with proceeds from the plantations that started Old Saint Joseph’s Church.

“It’s clear that that money allows the Jesuits to migrate out of Maryland and be-gin building Catholic institutions and Jesuit institutions all over the United States and basically create the institutional infrastruc-ture of American Catholicism, to make it a national tradition,” Wilder said.

A connection either with the founders, such as Greaton, or with families who later contributed to the college, is also very pos-

sible, said Randall Miller, Ph.D., professor of history at St. Joe’s.

“If [schools] were founded in the colo-nial period, there was probably a strong like-lihood there was some kind of connection because slave trading and slave provisioning was woven into the economies of the British North American colonies so tightly it was impossible not to have some involvement,” Miller said.

Many schools, such as Georgetown, are now facing the question of what the next step is. When asked why examining the pasts of these institutions is important, Miller said it helps contribute to present identities.

“It’s not just to find out about that past,” Miller said. “It’s to have people confront a past so they can have courage enough to ex-amine the present and thus be able to think about the future. We need to know who we were in order to know who we are and make any claim on who we might be.”

Thomas Brennan, S.J., Ph.D., associate professor of English at St. Joe’s, said it’s a matter of “practicing what you preach.”

“If we say we’re about racial justice, then we have to put that into practice,” he said, “and we have to look at our past and where we might need to do better. I think it’s an ob-ligation, as far as Saint Joseph’s goes, to look at precisely what the role here was.”

Wilder said the Catholic Church’s com-mitment to social justice is another motiva-tion for Jesuit institutions to undergo such an examination.

“The Catholic commitment to social justice requires in fact that we look at this,” he said. “It requires that we examine it, and it requires that we address it. It requires that we pursue injustice even when we’re the source of the injustice.”

Wilder said Jesuit universities are pre-sented with an opportunity “to show leader-ship and to show how we deal with painful, difficult, and at times divisive, topics be-cause we have an obligation to do it.”

“It’s not a moment where some people win and some people lose,” Wilder said. “It’s a moment where we can actually build a bet-ter society by being honest.”

How were you approached about becom-ing the permanent provost and what was your initial reaction?

“When it became clear to Dr. Reed that none of the three finalists from this year's provost search would provide the fit he was seeking, he asked me to have a conversation about continuing in the position. I was honored to be asked by him to consider the position, and enthusiastic about the chal-lenge, but I also wanted to be thoughtful in evaluating the contribution I could make in the position.”What went into the decision to say yes?

“I decided to accept the position be-cause I am fully committed to furthering our primary mission at SJU, which is ex-cellence in teaching and learning, and I think Dr. Reed and I share a similar vision regarding how to achieve that mission.”What has the transition been like thus far?

“Having served in a numerous leader-ship positions at SJU, including graduate

director, EdD director, department chair, associate dean and Interim Dean of Arts and Sciences, I was not surprised by the heavy demands of this position. However, acting as provost carries with it a broader set of responsibilities. Overall, the transi-tion has been both exciting and challeng-ing.”What is the thing you will miss most about being a professor?

“I miss the chance of working more di-rectly, and more often, with our students. Ask the faculty members what brings them their greatest joy here, and they will re-spond, ‘working with our wonderful stu-dents.’” Since starting, what has been the most surprising part of the job? The most dif-ficult?

“Given my background in the CAS Dean's office, I'm not sure I have been surprised. The most difficult part of the position is just keeping up with all of the different, and sometimes competing, high

priority issues.”You and Dr. Reed have and will continue to work closely, what makes your partner-ship work?

“Dr. Reed and I work well together be-cause we share a vision for the university. As well, he is very respectful of the people with whom he works, and of what may be, at times, their varying perspectives and ideas.”Without being in the classroom, what in-teractions will you have with the student body?

“Being in administration provides unique opportunities to make a difference in the university as a whole, but I will miss the close contact with students that faculty enjoy. Without the repeated and structured contact that the classroom provides, I will do may best to look for opportunities to meet with and talk to students, even if it is only over a quick cup of coffee. It is im-portant to me to remain in touch with how students are experiencing their time at the

university, and I hope students will not be shy about seeking me out as well.”What are you most excited about for next semester?

“Each fall I am excited about the start of the academic year, the new beginning and fresh perspectives it provides, and the opportunity to welcome new and returning students to our campus.”What is your favorite thing about St. Joe's?

“The people are what I love best about SJU. At every level student, faculty, and staff we have wonderful individuals who care deeply about the school.”What is one thing you want the St. Joe's community to know about their new pro-vost?

“I love, and am committed to, this uni-versity, its students, and its mission. I will do my best, during the time that I am in the position, to make a positive impact on our future.”

St. Joe’s welcomes long-time professor to new position

“Within the first five days that you’re eligible to apply, they get hundreds of thou-sands of applications,” Halpern said. “So if you don’t apply within the first two or three days that they open the applications for the new fiscal year, you’re out of luck.”

With these odds, students must strat-egize. Because the U.S. needs people with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) degrees, certain U.S. degree programs allow graduates an ex-tension to the OPT period. Students who graduate with these degrees can apply to receive an additional year to find a job that

will sponsor their stay in the country. The Saint Joseph’s master’s degree in

business intelligence and analytics qualifies for this OPT extension. Since the degree was granted STEM extension status by the U.S. government several years ago, Halp-ern said that she has seen a surge in inter-national student interest in the program. Some of the students now in the program may have otherwise applied for the M.B.A. program, which does not qualify for STEM extension.

Premkumar enrolled in the business intelligence program at St. Joe’s to get this

extension and learn the technical skills she needs for to work wherever she ends up.

“That will make getting a job easier, not only in the United States, but any-where,” she said.

With such stringent requirements, U.S. citizens may wonder why thousands of people travel across the globe to study in the United States. But Zhang and Premku-mar said that both the reputation of Amer-ican universities and U.S. work experience outweigh the difficulties they face here.

Zhang said she fell in love with Phil-adelphia during a Chinese undergraduate

exchange program, which made her deci-sion to come to St. Joe’s for her graduate degree even easier.

“Some of my friends are here, so that’s what made Philadelphia feel more like a home for me,” Zhang said. “And I think American education is the top in the world. I wanted to get this education to prepare myself to get a better job in the future.”

How should we think about being “men and women with and for others” when those “others” were once in chains?

On page 2, Hawk reporter Katryna Per-era, ’16, investigates our founding fathers, Joseph Greaton, S.J., and Felix-Joseph Bar-belin, S.J., who have ties to slave plantations that were owned by Jesuits in Maryland. In this week’s issue, we write about the links be-tween Saint Joseph’s University and the insti-tution of slavery, and we will continue to in-vestigate this history in the future. In light of national stories about the massive sale of 272 slaves at Georgetown University in 1838, we are investigating Saint Joseph’s own potential ties to slavery.

As details from the Georgetown slave sale have been reported nationally by publi-cations such as the New York Times and The Washington Post, it would be unwise for The Hawk to ignore a story of such magnitude re-garding racial justice—particularly because of our shared Jesuit history, and the fact that Jesuits at St. Joe’s and Georgetown are both part of the Maryland Province. We feel it is important to investigate how our university’s history may have been shaped by the Jesuit’s ties to slavery.

The Hawk has an obligation to inves-tigate our school’s history. As students at a Jesuit institution, we are taught to question the world around us. If we do not question the history and decisions made by our own institution’s founders, there is no way that we can ever fully understand it. The challenge to pursue social justice should not include ig-noring history that may be connected to our campus, but instead should acknowledge it and question where we go from there. This is the purpose of education.

How do we begin to reconcile with this

history when, according to the fall 2013 Saint Joseph’s Student Diversity and Demographic Profile, 79.1 percent of St. Joe’s students are white? If we do not acknowledge our history, but instead deny it, how are we ever supposed to make progress in terms of racial justice—both on our campus and beyond?

If you are reading these stories and wor-rying about how they may affect the image of your university, think about what you are saying. Is the image of our institution more important than the truth? Should we ignore the errors of the past simply to pave way for a seemingly perfect future, even if it is false? Is the name of Saint Joseph’s University less-ened by being aware of our past, even if it may imply ties to slavery?

The Hawk says no. To be globally en-gaged citizens, we must acknowledge the past, pretty or not. We must think seriously about the impact of past decisions that may have affected the St. Joe’s of the present day.

It would be easy for us to ignore the fact that our school may be tied to slavery, to not talk about this story for fear that it might undermine Saint Joseph’s reputation or the reputation of the Jesuits. But the same Jesuit education has taught us to ask these not-easy questions, to dig deeper–even if it means probing our own history as a source of injus-tice.

We have fostered an amazing sense of community at St. Joe’s, but we cannot stop trying to fight injustice from within and striving to expose structural problems that may be present at our university. We cannot blindly accept any image of community and thus refuse to address potentially problem-atic components of our history. Part of the process has to question who we are and what we’ve been, and we want to make St. Joe’s bet-

ter because of these conversations. There is no clear answer yet as to how

significantly Saint Joseph’s was involved with the sale of these slaves owned by Jesu-its; these people potentially associated with our university’s history who have names and faces and stories. It is difficult for us, as an in-stitution more than a century removed from these actions, to fully understand why this course of events truly occurred, and why no one has truly spoke out about it until now.

Though Felix Barbelin, S.J., was a no-vitiate at a Jesuit, slave-owning plantation, there is no way of knowing what his views on slavery were. The same is true for Joseph Gre-aton, S.J., who was instrumental in purchas-ing land to build Old Saint Joseph’s Church. We don’t yet know how the founders of Old Saint Joseph’s felt about slavery, or how they used this sale to further the education that we pride ourselves on receiving today.

We look up to the Jesuits as trailblazers in terms of social justice; yet, part of our his-tory may speak to hypocrisy, and we want to fully explore this issue.

Right now, we don’t fully know. We don’t have answers to what is unprecedented. Yet we can still pride ourselves on being mem-bers of this community and in caring about its history and reputation, and admitting that somewhere along the line, our history may be much more complex than we generally believe it to be.

If we are to truly become “men and women with and for others,” we must ac-knowledge that our Jesuit history has not always done so, and continue to investigate why that was.

To the editor: In the March 16 issue, The Hawk wrote the editorial, “No

more silent suffering,” about perceptions of the Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) on campus. I recently learned that some students living in Merion Gardens advise current sopho-mores and juniors moving in to avoid the A side of the apartment building because that’s where CAPS is found on campus. They fail to mention that CAPS is only on the fifth floor of Merion Gardens, not the entire A side, but underclassmen are still warned to avoid it. For the people who think you are offering a helpful piece of ad-vice to rising juniors and seniors, you’re not. You’re actually con-tributing to a much greater problem, which needs to be addressed: Your ignorance towards mental health.

The fact that people have such a negative outlook on CAPS is quite disturbing, especially in this day and age. It is disheartening to know that society’s outlook on mental health has not changed much. People are willing to talk about race issues, gender and sex-uality issues, but when it comes to mental health even the crickets fall silent.

CAPS is not an insanity ward. There are no screaming patients running around or people who want to harm you. It is a quiet, relaxing environment where people go to talk about their strug-gles with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and other mental health issues and ways to cope with them. CAPS is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is not open on the weekends. I can’t imagine it causes that much of a disturbance to those around them.

Students that go to CAPS don’t have a problem that needs to be fixed. They are going because they want to better themselves. They are taking responsibility for their mental illnesses, which should be praised, not judged. By looking down on those who go to CAPS you are committing the worst possible crime: You are dis-couraging those who want help from getting it. There are students who are worried about going to CAPS because they might be seen as crazy or weird, but this should not be the case.

Twenty-five percent of your fellow classmates, your fellow Hawks, go to CAPS. They are members of this community and should not be discriminated against for wanting help. They should feel comfortable talking about their experiences without having to fear this prejudicial stereotype that people who go to counseling are crazy.

Letter to the Editor

Editorial

I created the Ad Hawk column because I believe in the power of storytelling.

Over the past semester, we’ve reached out to vari-ous community members to ask, “What is a small mo-ment that has had the biggest impact on your time at Saint Joseph’s University so far?”

The question is intentionally vague so that our guest writers can interpret it any way they please. We tried to capture voices from around campus to get a comprehensive view of the “St. Joe’s experience.” For me, the intention was for our community to realize the extraordinary in the ordinary and recognize that small moments matter.

I’m choosing to write about one singular, fleeting moment. It was a simple encounter, yet it’s stuck with me for the past four years.

I’d just returned from the Ignite retreat my fresh-man year. That night, as a few of us prepared to hud-dle together and watch movies while Hurricane Sandy raged outside, I walked up the central stairs in Villiger Hall towards my home on the fifth floor. When I passed the third floor, I saw someone I’d met that past weekend in the common area.

“Candy twin!” he shouted at me as he smiled and waved. I opened the glass doors of the stairwell and went over to hug Dante Gleason. This was the second or third hug we’d shared since we discussed our mutual love for Crunch bars and Twizzlers during a standard freshman icebreaker.

It wasn’t that I’d found someone who I could always share the right type of candy with; it was that I finally felt that I belonged, in a place where I belonged. I was now a part of something. I was acknowledged, wel-comed, and accepted. I fit.

This feeling of belonging has stayed with me throughout my college career. For every struggle I faced, every anxiety-fueled day I suffered through, ev-ery breakdown I had or issue that I couldn’t seem to figure out on my own, I always felt seconds away from feeling hopelessly alone. Yet, at the last moment, some-one would swoop into my life exactly when I needed them, showing me that loneliness on this campus isn’t an option. This, to me, is community.

And in that one moment, Dante Gleason was that for me.

It was the smallest of moments, but it speaks to this idea of “community” that so strongly permeates St. Joe’s. It is a warmth that stretches across City Ave-nue, one that has made me feel consistently supported throughout my four years here.

I haven’t always felt this warmth, and I haven’t al-ways felt as part of the community as strongly at some points during college than I did at others; I won’t ro-manticize that. College, for me, has certainly had ups and downs. But regardless, each time that period of confusion and loneliness had increased and then faded, this feeling of community was introduced to me in new groups, new faces, new people. This idea of community never left me—it merely shifted forms.

But each time I’ve questioned where I really fit on this campus and how this community has played out, I remember that exuberant “Candy twin!” greeting from Dante, and I’m reminded again of one moment that proved to me the sheer power of community.

Dear underclassmen,

Thank you notes

You are probably asking a lot of your senior friends: “How is it to be a senior?” “Are you ready for graduation? “What are your plans for the rest of your life?” Most likely we probably don’t have all the answers to these questions. However, I do know that I am excited for the rest of my life and the new adventures that are coming. Underclassmen, enjoy the rest of your time on campus. Find your home: It may be an office, the same table in the new side of the Club Lib, or the student section of the Hagan Arena.

Remember: College is more than a 4.0 GPA. You will learn the most hanging out with friends when you should be studying, or going to Quizzo instead of reviewing for class. I am not saying that grades are not important, but the social experiences in college are crucial to surviving your four years here. We are all going through similar problems from being too broke to order take-out to having too much work to be able to afford random fun adventures.

I appreciated every random moment I had with my friends; staying up to hear the birds chirping in LaFarge, packing into our small dorm rooms, visiting each other’s apartments and off-campus homes, and now, being able to attend Riverpalooza.

Underclassmen: Don’t rush your years just to turn 21 years old. Honestly, it’s fun but an expensive life to live. It is a better thrill to be 21 and show your own ID to the bartender on Margarita Monday. You need to find friends you can sit around and watch movies with and not always plan to be "lit". Go to Student Union Board events, hang out with your RA at his or her programs, and go to an event that puts you outside of your comfort zone. Other than your social life, plan wisely about your future. Get internships (paid and unpaid), find jobs that relate to your major, and plan ahead of time for after graduation.

After all the difficulties this school has and troubles you may face here, the memories you will make will last a lifetime. So study and work hard, but remember to enjoy the precious moments you have living with your friends and embrace all of the great opportunities here.

Stay true to yourself and remember, as one person you can change the world.-Caraiah Stout ’16

When I first showed up on Hawk Hill in the fall of 2012, I applied for everything. I was that individual who wanted to be super involved and know everyone. As I began applying, I also began getting rejected. I was perplexed, because I couldn’t understand why student organizations didn’t want as many students as they could get. I thought “magis,” meaning “more,” meant “the more, the merrier!” As I continued on, involved in only the few organizations that I was accepted to, I realized that those were the activities that I was meant to be a part of on Hawk Hill.

Being an active member in the Rape Education Prevention Program (REPP) not only defined my first year, but my first three years of college. Going to El Paso, Texas with the Winter Immersion Program allowed me to meet undocumented immigrants whose stories broke my heart, but also inspired me to serve immigrants in our community.

Then, one day during my sophomore year, I was listening to a Jesuit speak. He didn’t define magis as doing more, but instead as being involved in the activities that you are called to. It hit me; I had it wrong. Magis is about quality involvement, not quantity involvement. It is about putting your heart into what you choose to be involved in on Hawk Hill.

Being a general member is nice, but being a club president and leading an organization to change is where you will find the magis. “Don’t be the one just eating the cookies, but instead be the one ordering cookies,” is a piece of life advice that Ruben Mendoza, Ph.D., an assistant decisions system and sciences pro-

fessor, gives to his students. He emphasizes that when you go into an interview and can speak to your success as a leader, the company will be begging you to work for them. Don’t just go through the motions of showing up to meetings so you can add it to your resume. Instead, show up curious and be ready to participate. If you are adding something to

your resume, be ready to share what you did and how it changed you when you were involved with that program. As a senior, I went through many interviews over the past six months. In every single one, the person on the other side asked me something specific about my resume. More interestingly, no two questions were the same, or even about the same item. Each interviewer connected differently with what I had on paper and wanted to know more about my specific experiences.

I am thankful that I was rejected from student organizations that would not have been meaningful to me, because now I can use my resume space to share the experiences that helped me grow into the person I am today.

Pedro Arrupe, S.J.’s quote succinctly summarizes what I wish I had known before indiscriminately applying to many student organizations. He says, “Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.”

I have fallen in love with my time at Saint Joseph’s University because of the organizations I have given wholeheartedly to. It is these experiences that have led me to decide to be a yearlong volunteer next year, and have led me to purse a lifelong passion of working for justice. Do not be afraid to give your all to what you feel called to be a part of, for the rewards you will reap will be priceless.

The time has come for the Class of 2016 to say goodbye to Saint Joseph’s University. Ask any senior, and they will tell you that the last four years have literally flown by. Lifelong mem-ories will surround this wonderful group of students, who I now call my family.

Over the past couple of weeks, I have met and spent time with some incredible underclassmen which caused me to take a trip down memory lane and reflect on my time here at St. Joe’s—my mind has been racing with memories. I am constantly reminded of mistakes I made, risks I took, and experiences I had. I wanted to share some insight with the underclassmen to ensure that their time on Hawk Hill is fulfilling.

Hawk Hill became my home back in 2012. Although I had my heart set on sunny southern Florida for college, my path led me to Saint Joseph’s. Freshman year was tough, as it is for most. Looking back, I was extremely worried about my “image” and I let my ego diminish the importance of my freshman year. Being “cool” was constantly on my mind and the pressure of acceptance caused me to frequent home often and not fully enjoy it the way others did. I recall being anxious over hanging out with the wrong people, intimidated by upperclassman in the library, dining hall, and the gym. Those insecurities prevented me from reaching my full potential early on, and honestly, I wanted to leave St. Joe’s.

It was not until the end of my sophomore year that I started to step out of my comfort zone and decided to take flight. I joined organizations such as the SJU Theater Company, be-came a Resident Assistant, walked on to the men’s rowing team, and joined my awesome fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi. I decided to be myself and experience college the right way—my way.

The reason I share these memories is to make you aware that everyone faces insecurity. Therefore, I challenge you to be yourself. Go strike up a conversation with someone new, don’t be afraid to join a club because others may think it’s not “cool,” or go to the dining hall or career fair by yourself. During your four years, push your limits, work hard and don’t forget to have fun. Take everything this wonderful school gives you from the starting line, and allow it to mold you into a leader by the finish line.

I have had many amazing experiences here at St. Joe’s. I cherish the memories and the mistakes, but will never forget what these last four years have taught me. Best of luck to you all and cherish every moment spent at home, on Hawk Hill. THWND.

Well ladies and gentlemen, after four semesters of “Grinds My Gears,” it is finally time for me to put down the figurative pen I have been writing with and retire. As I brainstormed ideas for my last column, I was watching “The Tonight Show” starring Jimmy Fallon. On this partic-ular night’s show, Fallon was doing his “Thank You Notes” segment. And that’s when it hit me that I have a plethora of thank you notes to write and send before I leave Hawk Hill. So to save money on stamps, here are my thank you notes!

First off, I would like to thank society for always giving me something to gripe about for the past four semesters. This column would have been lost without you and your many flaws.

Thank you coffee and concealer for helping me give the illusion of being awake, alert, alive, and enthusiastic.

I would like to thank the hawk, for being dependable and never dying.

Thank you Netflix for successfully helping me procrasti-nate for hours on end, and always being down to chill.

A very special thanks to my bed for always welcoming me home with open arms—you are the real MVP.

Thank you Barbelin Hall for being a fixture on my Insta-gram feed, no matter the time, season, or filter.

Thank you Campion brunch for being the perfect way to start a Saturday after a Friday night of bad choices.

Many thanks to the undefeated Saint Joseph’s Univer-sity football team, you guys are the unsung heroes on this campus.

Thank you MRT for letting me know when to lower my voice when I talk to certain people on Friday mornings.

A special shout out to St. Ignatius of Loyola and the can-non ball that hit him, causing him to have his big divine revelation. Without you, magis would’ve never happened.

Thank you to The Hawk Newspaper for giving me an-other activity I can add to my resume. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to see my writing printed, and for sup-porting my First Amendment right.

Thank you to the Honors Program for priority registra-tion, free prints, twenty-four hour access to Claver House, and introducing me to a group of students who I would nev-er have had the opportunity to meet and commiserate with over team-taught classes.

Thank you to my roommates who are forced to listen to the unfiltered versions of my rants. Thank you for always

being down to get Rita’s Italian Ice, spending nights on the porch, and putting up with my absentmindedness by bring-ing my keys, phone, and wallet to campus when I forget them.

Thank you to the English department for introducing me to some of the very best people in the world. Thank you for also being a place where people know they can find me, and my roommates can drop off whatever I left behind at our apartment.

And finally, thank you Saint Joseph’s University for an absolutely incredible four years. It’s been real St. Joe’s! And we certainly have had a good run.

Thank you for be-coming my home away from home. Thank you for giving me the chance to learn from amazing, ded-icated professors. Thank you for being the place where I met some of my best friends. Thank you for helping me become the best version of myself.

Get psychedPatrick Garrigan, Ph.D., wins #TopPrOFSJU

KATIE WHITE ’17Lifestyle Editor

Lifestyle | 7April 27, 2016 The Hawk

Distinguished professors were selected and seeded, votes were tallied, and week by week, your picks were narrowed from 64 candidates down to the final two. After a nail-biting six weeks of competition, the time has finally come for one Saint Joseph’s University professor to claim the title of Top Prof 2016.

With the majority of your votes, the winner is Patrick Garrigan, Ph.D., associate professor of psychology! Read on as St. Joe’s Top Prof tells all about his bracket-winning teach-ing style, memorable in-class moments, and how he believes he rose to the top of the competition.

To be considered a top profes-sor, an instructor must bring some-thing to his or her classes that res-onate with students. For Garrigan, his focus on keeping classes unique and engaging may be part of what inspired students to vote for him week after week.

“I want students to be really engaged in my class,” he said. “I’m always trying to find something in-teresting and new to show them. I try to keep things relevant. I look at what works and I bring it back.”

Working toward that goal has involved incorporating interesting lessons into his courses and finding interactive ways of teaching that invite students to have fun while delving deeper into their psychol-ogy studies—one way is through experiments and demonstrations.

“We do lots of experiments for [Sensation and Perception]—there’s lots of demos,” Garrigan said. “We’re doing a chapter on music. So we’ll be listening to back-wards lyrics. ‘The Smell Olympics’ is something we’re doing on the last day of class. I have 25 smells, and we’ll smell all of them and we’ll see who gets the most right. I’m currently the ‘Smelling Champi-on.’”

Lessons like these are just some of the ways that Garrigan engages his students and gets them excited about learning psychology. He considers students’ interests an integral part of his teaching philos-ophy.

“My job is to take the things that I think are most interesting from the subject matter and try to get my students to learn about it and be excited about it, too,” Gar-rigan said.

In addition to teaching upper division classes like Sensation and Perception, Garrigan also leads a statistics course, a lab with graduate students, and introductory sections for first-year students. This variety of courses gives him the chance to interact with students from all parts of St. Joe’s.

“I actually teach Intro [to Psy-chology] for non-majors, and that’s a lot of fun,” he said. “You run into Haub [students] or [students from] other places that have very different perspectives, and that can make things interesting.”

While his classes are some-times made up of students with varied class years and academic backgrounds, Garrigan said he’s found that many share a common interest in what they are studying. He believes that may be true thanks to the wide-ranging nature of psy-chology.

“There’s something in [psy-chology] for marketing students, there’s something in there for econ-omists,” he said. “It’s really broad. I think a lot of students think it’s just clinical stuff—like the disorders and stuff, but there’s a whole lot more to it than that.”

As students move through Garrigan’s classes, they come to understand these different facets of psychology. But aside from seeing students grow in their understand-ing of course material, Garrigan also said he enjoys seeing students realize their own abilities.

“My stats class is great—I like stats in particular because students come in dreading it, but some of them come out liking it and realize that, even though they had the im-pression that they weren’t good at math, that they may be better than they thought they were. That makes me happy,” Garrigan said.

What’s a Top Prof without his students? As much as his unique lessons and interesting material have won over students in the class-room, Garrigan said he attributes much of his success with online votes to the tireless campaigning of a few enthusiastic students.

“I suspect it’s mostly Danielle [McCants, ’17] and Alex [Gill, ’17], two of my students. They are the primary motivation behind this…I think when I saw it come out in The Hawk I asked [McCants] if she could make me win and she’s tak-en it from there. I’m actually pretty surprised that I survived as long as I have,” he said.

Students weren’t the only ones cheering Garrigan along each week as he advanced in the bracket. His success also caught the attention of fellow faculty and friends from home, who all looked forward to seeing Garrigan’s results printed in The Hawk and showed their sup-port for him online.

“I have a relatively minimal online presence, but [a colleague] posted on Facebook, and I guess some of my friends from high school saw and some of the pro-fessors were giving me encourage-ment,” Garrigan said.

Garrigan’s win is the second Top Prof victory for the Colleges of Arts and Sciences. In 2014 Brian Forster, Ph.D., laboratory coordi-nator for the general education pro-gram of natural sciences, claimed the first title. Garrigan said he was motivated to keep this streak going and take home the title for his de-partment.

“We gotta win this thing for CAS, for the psych major. It’s a bit of a David and Goliath situation,” he joked. “[Latella]’s got the whole arm of food marketing, and I’ve just got Danielle and Alex fighting for me on this side—so maybe that’s why I should win, because we’re the underdog!”

Underdog or not, it’s clear that Garrigan has accomplished some-thing special by being chosen as a standout professor among other faculty at Saint Joseph’s. That alone may be somewhat of a prize. But if nothing else, Garrigan said this win should earn him some bragging rights with students. After all, it’s another prestigious title he can add alongside his equally impressive claim to fame as “Smelling Cham-pion.”

“[Winning] would give me something to brag about on the last day of class,” Garrigan said. “When we’re doing the Smell Olympics, I can brag about being Top Prof at SJU. So hopefully we’ll be cutting down the nets here in Post Hall.”

How to survive the wrath of finals weekCIARRA BIANCULLI ’17

Assisant Lifestyle Editor

Finals week: Two words that can leave college students in shambles.Once our last day of classes arrives, our anxiety about finals starts to settle in. You begin

to calculate exactly what grade you need to pass a class and whether or not you even need a college degree to get a job after all. Whether it’s an exam at 8 a.m. on Friday threatening your fun night at MRT, or that 12-page research paper you’ve been putting off all semester, the work comes crashing down at a rapid pace as the daunting “finals week” approaches.

While it’s easy to succumb to this anxiety, try to approach this madness with positivity. It’s only one week, and you will make it through to the other side. Here are some tips to help you keep your sanity.

1. Figure out a way to manage your time. List all of the things on your agenda, including all of the assignments you have to finish and all of the studying you need to get done.

2. Try to avoid cramming a whole semester’s worth of notes into one day of studying. Instead, devote a few of hours to one subject, take a break, and then move on to the next subject you need to study for. Switching up the pace will give you some time to reflect on everything you’ve looked over this far.

3. We all know that the second floor new side of the library can be tempting. It’s filled with laughter and chatter coming from people who don’t seem to be getting any studying done. However, the old side of the library can be fun, too! Just think about all of the work you can get done sitting at the end of those bookshelves, secluded from the rest of the cam-

pus. Once you get your work done, you can take a walk to the other side to see your friends. I’m sure they’ll still be there socializing.

4. While the all-nighter attitude may seem attractive and cool to some, humans func-tion best with sleep. Instead of going after that fifth cup of coffee to stay awake and retain more information, try to get some sleep. When you wake up, you’ll be refreshed and can start the day, or the rest of your day, on a good note.

5. If there’s something you don’t understand from your notes or textbook—ask for help! There’s no harm in sending your professor an email or attending the review session for your class. If you see someone from your class in the library, reach out to them, too. Everyone needs a little help sometimes.

6. Something I’ve always found helpful—when I believe everything isn’t going to work out—is to continuously remind myself that everything is going to get done and that I will get through this. There’s a light at the end of this tunnel and for us students, that “light” is summer break—keep that in mind to keep you motivated.

Next semester when finals week approaches, try to reflect on previous ones and see what you can do to improve on how you approach this hectic week. While college and grades are important, your health and sanity are, too.

Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor.

The Hawk8 | Lifestyle April 27, 2016

With the Spring semester wrapping up and another year on Hawk Hill coming to a close, it’s time to get prepared for summer. Here are some tips for how to stay happy and healthy during the summer months:

Don’t eat when you’re thirsty: Commonly, we mistake being thirsty with being hungry. So when you think you’re hungry and ready to eat, check again. You may actually just be in need of a glass of water.

Watch what you drink: Another mistake people make is grabbing sugary or high-calorie beverages. The calories in a few glasses of lemonade or soda can add up fast, so switch up your drink intake. Try balancing your high-calorie choices with water. Add lemon, mint, or cucumbers—my personal favor-ite—for flavor, or even try unsweetened iced tea.

Enjoy watermelon: Watermelon is such a classic summertime food, and it’s also good for you! It’s low in calories—only 92 calories per two-cup serving—fills you up, and keeps you hydrated since it’s 92 percent water. It also contains the antioxidant lycopene: a good source of vitamins A and C, potassium, vitamin B6, and thiamin.

Eat the right frozen treats: Another summertime favorite is ice cream and other frozen desserts. Knowing which types to eat can make you feel better about your choices. Here’s a simple cheat sheet:

• Fudgsicles contain only 45 calories per pop• Frozen yogurt or soft-serve ice cream contain about 140 calories per serving• Water Ice (100 calories per cup) can be a lighter alternative to gelato (500 calories per cup)• Wafter Cones (20 calories) can be substituted for sugar cones (50-60 calories)• Beware of sprinkles! Four tablespoons of sprinkles are about 220 calories!Know how to hack a barbecue: Summer picnics and barbecues are the best because the food is

always good. However, knowing which foods to pile on your plate is good, too.Hot dogs• Best toppings: sauerkraut, ketchup, mustard, and relish• Kristen’s Tip: Avoid cheesy sauces and chili

Burgers• Try to use the leanest beef• Kristen’s Tip: Add in some veggies like mushrooms, onions, and/or peppers to

increase nutrients Pasta salad • Use 100% whole wheat pasta• Kristen’s Tio: Try mixing in light vinaigrette or low-calorie Italian dressingColeslaw• Try mixing in low-fat or non-fat mayonnaise

Most of all, it’s important to remember that it’s okay to splurge. Just remember to keep everything in moderation, balance out your meals as much as possible, and stay hydrated. Have a wonderful summer!

The internet is an enormous place, which is partly why the concept of the “web celebrity” is so strange. A person could go online every day and not know about PewDiePie, Lily Singh and Grace Helbig, yet countless personalities across the web have devoted fan followings. Few of them, however, have such a following as Felicia Day.

As an actress, comedian, writer and producer, Day is best known for founding the production company Geek & Sundry, which produced a crop of award-winning web programs. Chief among them is her own series, “The Guild.” Countercultural musical fans may also recognize her from “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog,” and still others know her from her various appearances on T.V. But Day is mainly considered the Queen of Online Nerds, as she acknowledges throughout her memoir, “You’re Never Weird On the Internet (Almost).”

I was first introduced to Day while watching the web series “Table-Top,” produced by Geek & Sundry. The show is hosted by actor and author Wil Wheaton, who plays a game of the week with three of his friends each episode. Day, as an executive producer and co-creator of the program, was a guest on several episodes, and I happened upon one where she played the game “Fortune and Glory” with her brother, Ryan Day, and former Superman, Brandon Routh.

I was pleasantly surprised to see a confident, un-ironic female “nerd” online, and even more satisfied to read up on her achievements—this was a young lady who won one of the first Streamy Awards, had a massive so-cial media presence before it was ubiquitous to have one, and is set to star on the reboot of the cult classic series “Mystery Science Theater 3000!” Who wouldn’t want to hear more about her? Now that “You’re Never Weird On the Internet” exists, the general public finally can embrace being “weird.”

Complete with drawings by the author and a foreword by Joss Whedon, Day’s book is chock-full of stories for the geek and the casual reader alike. She discusses her unique origin story in the opening chapter, “Why I’m Weird” (Condensed version: She was homeschooled for hippie reasons and earned two college degrees without a high school diploma), addresses being a female nerd online, and devotes time to “The Guild,” her “most proud achievement.” Day refers to geek media, from “Star Trek” to Perry Mason, and her “fangirl” prose is equally eloquent.

Altogether, “You’re Never Weird On the Internet (Almost)” is a fan-tastic summer read for everyone who appreciates good storytelling, and I’d like to praise Felicia Day for writing it.

Social media has changed the way so-ciety connects. It has the power to bring people together from all over the world, provide instant information on any subject, and even influence the course of one’s ca-reer.

In the workforce, social media is of-ten a recruiter’s first impression of a can-didate, according to Marissa Ferrante, a human resource specialist at Naval Sea Sys-tems Command and former HR recruiter. Ferrante’s work shows that many college students and graduates are now feeling a heavy weight on their shoulders because of past social media posts that may now be deemed unprofessional.

Timothy Latimer, ’17, landed an in-ternship with a national insurance agen-cy for the summer. He believes that social media played a major role in his job accep-tance.

“When applying for jobs, I went through my social media platforms and cleaned up my profiles,” Latimer said. “I know everyone says that nothing is actual-ly erased from the internet, but I figured I

could make my profiles more professional and appealing than they previously were.”

Latimer also said he made sure to keep his LinkedIn account up-to-date and as detailed as possible. Latimer knows that LinkedIn played a part in his internship interview because the recruiter had viewed his profile prior to their first meeting.

Ten years ago, the thought of social media platforms controlling professional lives was completely unheard of. Platforms like Facebook and Twitter did not become popular until the mid-2000s. Now, the world has had to adapt to social media be-cause it is changing the entire employment process.

Social media has created a constant job recruiting process, as well. Users can be viewed by prospective employers at any minute of the day before even applying.

As a recent graduate, Ferrante has learned many tips that can help other re-cent graduates land their dream jobs and impress recruiters. Ferrante hires many entry-level professionals. She said that she almost always looks through a potential

candidate’s social media profiles before her first meeting with the candidate. This method allows her to see if the candidate is well-rounded and if the candidate has qual-ities that would be beneficial to the compa-ny. She even recalled not hiring a candidate because of the inconsistency from their re-sume to their social media.

“I had set up an interview with a pro-spective candidate,” Ferrante said. “Before they came to meet me, I pulled up their LinkedIn profile. I noticed that their pro-file was not up-to-date with their resume. This immediately raised a red flag for me. I was utterly confused because I thought I was meeting someone with certain qualifi-cations, and then looking them up gave me a different perspective.”

According to a CareerBuilder survey, 64 percent of employers admit to screening candidates with the help of social media, and 34 percent of employers have discov-ered content while screening that forced them to not hire those candidates.

In 2016, it is vital for everyone to cre-ate an online presence. Social media can be

a great tool if it is used effectively and effi-ciently. Thinking of Twitter as a platform to retweet interesting news stories or to post your favorite inspirational quotes can help bring your online presence to the next lev-el. Posting about your depressing breakup and what you had for lunch can do just the opposite.

Ferrante recommends that candidates ask themselves, “If I were in the shoes of the employer, would I hire myself based solely on my social media platforms?” She also suggests that candidates update profiles monthly and always strive to be different. She believes that a candidate is more mar-ketable for job opportunities when they stand out and can advertise themselves through their blogs and pictures.

As stated by award-winning author and expert on personal branding, Dan Schawbel, “Your first impression isn’t made with a firm handshake—it’s with a Google search.” Keeping this advice in mind could make all the difference when applying for jobs.

The Saint Joseph’s University men’s la-crosse team traveled to Robert Morris Uni-versity to take on their Northeast Confer-ence rival on April 23. The Hawks’ six-game win streak ended with a 13-8 loss to the Robert Morris Colonials, the Hawks’ first NEC loss since joining the conference for the 2014 season.

“Overall, I was disappointed in the way we played,” Head Coach Taylor Wray said. “I thought we had a really, really slow start. We had seven first-quarter turnovers, which is uncharacteristic for us. Some of those turnovers were just errant passes and failed clears, things that were preventable, so I was disappointed with the way we played early on.”

Robert Morris freshman Eddie Smith scored the first three goals of the game, two of which accounted for the only goals in the first period. St. Joe’s got on the board with 10:08 remaining in the second peri-od. Senior Rich Gabelman scored on a pass from sophomore Chris Blewitt, and Blewitt scored a goal of his own 43 seconds later.

The Colonials scored two more goals, and St. Joe’s junior Charles Giunta capped the scoring for the period with an unassisted

goal with 2:43 remaining.Sophomore Kyle Cain scored his first of

three goals for the Hawks 52 seconds into the third period to bring the Hawks to with-in one goal. The Colonials answered with back-to-back goals to take a three-goal lead.

St. Joe’s scored the next three goals to tie the game with 3:36 remaining in the peri-od. Junior Kevin Reidinger scored on a feed from Cain with 8:03 left to start the Hawks’ run. Junior Marcus Milione and Cain scored the next two goals to tie the game at seven apiece.

“We managed to battle back and get it to 7-7 in the middle of third quarter,” Wray said. “We never were able to take the lead, but we battled back. We were in it, but we just couldn’t finish the game.”

Robert Morris retook the lead with 37 seconds left in the period, and scored the first three goals of the final period. Cain scored his final goal with 4:00 left in the game, but the Hawks were unable to score again, and the Colonials added two more goals to cap the scoring.

“If you’re not at your best, you’re not going to win,” Wray said. “There are no easy games. The biggest lesson is you’ve got to bring your A-game every time you step on the field. If you don’t, then you’re like-ly to get beat, and I don’t think we had our A-game on Saturday.”

The Hawks return home to take on Mount St. Mary’s University on April 30 for their final regular season game.

“We’re going to focus on fundamentals, we’re going to focus on the basics, and we feel like if we can do those things well, we’ll play a good game,” Wray said. “The biggest thing for us right now is not thinking too far down the road. I told the guys today at prac-tice, ‘Yesterday is yesterday. We can’t change the outcome of the game. All we can do is worry about what we’re doing today to try to improve and get better.’”

The Saint Joseph’s University women’s lacrosse team split two Atlantic 10 games this weekend to bring their record to 7-9 overall and 6-2 in the A-10.

The Hawks first took on the Virginia Commonwealth University Rams on April 22, winning by a final score of 15-4. The win was the sixth consecutive win for the Hawks, which set a new program record.

St. Joe’s dominated in the first half, scor-ing seven goals and taking 21 shots. Junior Nora McCallion started the scoring with an unassisted goal after 4:46 of play, and went on to score the next three goals.

Junior Sarah Smith and freshman Hay-ley Sabol tallied the next two goals for the Hawks. With 25 seconds left in the half, freshman Bec Lane scored on the man-up advantage with an assist from McCallion.

VCU redshirt freshman Sky Hyatt got the Rams on the board with a goal 19 sec-onds into the second half, but St. Joe’s struck back with back-to-back goals from Smith and redshirt freshman Morgan Lamey.

Following another goal from Hyatt, the Hawks scored four goals in a row, two of which came from junior Maggie Egan. Each team scored two more goals apiece in the last 10:08 of the game to seal the final score.

“We just keep talking about playing St. Joe’s lacrosse and coming out hard and play-

ing hard for 60 minutes,” said Head Coach Alex Kahoe. “On Friday, we were able to do that, and we need to be able to consistently do that against every opponent.”

The Hawks returned home and took on the George Mason University Patriots at Sweeney Field on April 24 for the final home game of the season, losing by a final score of 16-7.

The Patriots scored the first 10 goals of the game, five of which came in the first 12:24 of play.

“I think George Mason is a very talent-ed team and they came out and battled us hard,” Kahoe said. “Unfortunately, it just wasn’t our day.”

The Hawks got on the board just nine seconds into the second half on a goal from McCallion, but the Patriots scored less than 30 seconds later to maintain their dou-ble-digit lead.

After back-to-back goals from George Mason, McCallion scored St. Joe’s second goal with 24:31 remaining. Sophomore Aly Gormley scored on an assist from Lane with 15:02 left, and neither team scored again for almost six minutes, until George Mason ju-nior Brooke Lorber scored her third goal of the game. McCallion scored her third goal of the game with 7:32 left.

With 4:51 left in the game, St. Joe’s

closed the double-digit gap on a goal from Lane, assisted by Gormley, but George Ma-son struck back with a goal of their own just 21 seconds later.

With 2:52 left, the Hawks scored again, drawing within single digits on a goal from Gormley. The Hawks’ final goal came with 30 seconds left in the game when Sabol scored on a feed from McCallion.

“We were definitely able to battle back. The fact that we won the second half [was a positive]—the second half was 7-6,” Kahoe said. “Unfortunately, we just needed to make it happen a little bit sooner, but I think the

fact that we are able to step it up and make some changes was definitely a bright side.”

The Hawks will take on George Wash-ington University on April 30 for their final regular season game. The women’s lacrosse team will then play in the Atlantic 10 Cham-pionship Tournament for the first time since 2009.

“We’re very excited. I’m very proud of the team,” Kahoe said. “I think they worked really hard to be able to get there. We still have another game, so we’re staying in the moment and focusing on what we have to do next.”

Senior Sarah Fairbanks was the captain of the Saint Joseph’s University women’s bas-ketball team this past season, and is one of the best players in the school’s history. Fair-banks is third all-time in blocked shots (113), tenth in rebounds (636), and 19th in points (1,064). She is also just the second player in school history with over 1,000 points, 600 rebounds, and 100 blocked shots, according

to SJU Athletic Communications.After her final basketball season end-

ed, Fairbanks joined the women’s track and field team as a walk on. She’s broken school records in each of her two meets so far this season.

“I think it’s awesome,” women’s track Head Coach Melody O’Reilly said.

Fairbanks was on the basketball and track and field teams at Elizabethtown Area High School, where she set the school re-cords for discus and shot put, according to SJU Athletic Communications. Although she enjoyed both sports, she decided to pur-sue basketball at a collegiate level.

“Basketball was definitely my first love,” Fairbanks said. “It’s what I dedicated most of my time to. In spring, when track was go-ing on, I’d be leaving track practice to go to AAU [Amateur Athletic Union], or I’d miss some meets. I knew basketball was always my main priority, but track was always just a nice stress reliever.”

When Fairbanks committed to playing basketball at St. Joe’s, she knew she wouldn’t be able to join the track team during her first three years, so she decided to ask to join her senior year. Neither of St. Joe’s track teams have throwers or throwing coaches, so Fair-banks expected she wouldn’t be able to join.

Fairbanks told her basketball team-mates about her throwing background and her desire to join the St. Joe’s team during her last year. Fellow senior C.C. Andrews was also on her high school track team, and

the two would talk about joining the track team together.

“C.C., she was a great athlete in track as well in high school. She was long jump,” Fairbanks said. “We would always joke—well, I wasn’t joking and I don’t think she was either—but we’d always say ‘Senior year, yeah, we’ve got to ask the track team. We got to.’”

Fairbanks approached O’Reilly about joining the team, and after the two had talk-ed for a while, they went into men’s Head Coach Mike Glavin’s office to discuss her high school numbers, which they discov-ered would place her among the top ten in the Atlantic 10.

For Fairbanks, it was a big adjustment to be on a different team. The basketball and track teams have different environments, with basketball being more fast-paced and track being more laid back, though both are still competitive, according to Fairbanks.

“She’s been a really nice late addition to the team,” O’Reilly said. “She’s got a great at-titude. I enjoy having her around.”

Fairbanks occasionally practiced throw-ing for fun over the past four years, but her last track meet was in 2012. She was admit-tedly nervous for her first collegiate meet at the Rider Invitational on April 10.

“[The transition back to throwing] is a little frustrating because my form is like bleh, but it’s okay,” Fairbanks said with a laugh. “It’s getting a little better. It’s a little bit hard because I don’t have someone there

watching me and telling me ‘No, no, no, fix this, fix that.’”

Despite that, Fairbanks dominated in her events, placing second in the discus with a mark of 34.69m and third in the shot put with a mark of 39’ 7”. Both broke school re-cords.

“When she was at the discus, [Assis-tant Coach] Teddy [Meyers] and I walked over, and she had just thrown her last one,” O’Reilly said. “She said, ‘Now we just have to wait. I’m pretty sure I made the finals.’…[During the finals], we’re still standing there, and all of a sudden, you see a sea of St. Joe’s red coming across the field. They all came over to watch…It might have been the most lively discus final I’ve ever been to…The whole team supported her and came over, and I think it made her feel really welcome.”

Fairbanks’ teammates cheered her on as she threw, which she believes helped her performance.

In her second collegiate meet at the Widener Invitational on April 22 and 23, Fairbanks won the discus with a mark of 37.76m, breaking the school record she set two weeks prior. Fairbanks hopes to break her high school records this season, but is primarily focused on having fun throwing.

“I want to get better every meet,” Fair-banks said. “Honestly, my [first] disc throw was a good start, but I think I can do better. In high school I threw almost 20 feet far-ther.”

What has been your favorite part of play-ing basketball here at Saint Joseph’s Uni-versity?Isaiah Miles: The fans. I’m definitely going to miss the atmosphere of Hagan Arena. I’ve also really enjoyed just playing with these group of guys.Aaron Brown: Winning the Atlantic 10 Championship. It was a feeling like no other. It was incredible to be a part of.Papa Ndao: Definitely my teammates. The chemistry we have in the locker room is spe-cial. But also the feel of the game, and getting to be a part of the energy and atmosphere of Hagan Arena has also been unbelievable.

What is your favorite memory of playing at St. Joe’s?IM: The [University of] Cincinnati game this year. I’m going to remember my game-win-ning shot for the rest of my life. When the ball left my hands, I knew it was good. AB: When we were playing George Wash-ington [University] in the first round of the Atlantic 10 tournament this year. We were down by about 14 at the half. We battled back and didn’t give up, and we took the game over and ended up winning.PN: Two years ago, when we were playing [the University of] Dayton—they were up by one or two and the last play of the game I set a flare screen for Lang Galloway (’14) to hit the game-winning three.

What has been the biggest challenge or struggle you’ve had to overcome?IM: My biggest challenge has probably been staying in shape. It’s hard, because some-times you don’t always want to eat the food

that the school provides you, but you have to stay disciplined and make sure that you stay healthy and eat right in order to stay at the right weight.AB: When I first transferred here, I had to be more team-oriented. I came here with a chip on my shoulder and I was in a different place than my teammates and I had to work to get over that.PN: Time management. You can plan all you want, but sometimes you have to give one thing up to get better at something else.

What will you take away from your experi-

ence playing here?IM: Life is a journey. There’s going to be road-bumps and ups and downs but as long as you keep your head straight and be con-fident, you can prevail and overcome those struggles. AB: Role acceptance. In order to be a very good team, you have to know your role and where you fit within the team. We all knew our roles this year and I think that’s what made us so successful this season.PN: My time here has taught me to be re-silient. I’ve learned that if you want some-thing bad enough, you need to work hard

and stick with it, and do whatever it takes to achieve your goals.

What are you looking forward to most now that you are done playing at St. Joe’s?IM: I signed with an agent recently, so I’m looking forward to NBA workouts and hopefully being on an NBA summer league team. Then hopefully getting a spot on an NBA roster somewhere for next season. AB: I’m looking forward to graduating in May, and then hopefully getting paid to play basketball somewhere. PN: Getting to sit in the bleachers next sea-son here at Hagan, watching the younger guys play basketball. I’m looking forward to seeing them achieve their own goals and create their own success.

What do you want to be remembered for most as a player?IM: I want to be remembered as a hard worker. I didn’t give up when I didn’t get very much playing time early on in my ca-reer. I kept my head up and stayed positive and when my opportunity did come, I took advantage of it and played to the best of my abilities. AB: That I was a champion. I went against the odds and overcame a lot during my time here and, most importantly, I played hard and never gave up.PN: I’d like to be remembered as being a good teammate and someone who others could rely on. I’ve always tried to be there and be supportive of my teammates during my time here.
