About 150 people attended the April 22 Holi Festival of Colors hosted on the Dionne Green by The University of Scranton Asia Club, according to Kapil Patel ‘25, social media coordinator for the group. Patel shared insights about the tradition of Holi, one of the major festivals observed in India, Nepal and Sri Lanka.

He explained the meaning behind some of the bursts of color associated with the festival:

• blue, divine and the infinite,
• green, nature, new beginnings and happiness,
• pink, friendship and the joy of being alive,
• red, love and fertility,
• yellow, knowledge, learning and wisdom and
• purple, power and royalty

The event included performances of Hindi songs and Bollywood dances, as well as cuisine and beverages in theme with the event, such as lassi, a yogurt-based refreshment. Attendees received free T-shirts, which by the gathering's end reflected its colorful nature.

Q: Regarding the Holi Festival of Colors hosted this past weekend, what did you feel was most successful? 
"Everyone from all backgrounds came together and danced together freely with so much love and energy despite of their differences. This event brought many people together and made everyone feel like one big family."

Q: What is the Asia Club mission?
"Asia Club’s mission is to spread awareness of Asian Culture on campus in a fun, interactive and unique way."

Q: What, in your opinion, are the most exciting events or activities you present as a club?
"We have our Holi and Diwali/Navratri events, which are always a hit. We are planning a mock shaadi, which is a fake wedding where one is able to experience an Indian wedding."

Q: Why would you recommend someone join?
"It is a great way to experience Asian culture and it helps people from all over the world, not just Asia, connect with each other. It is really fun and very inclusive. You make a lot of friends that are very warm and welcoming."

Q: Why did you join the club?
"I was introduced to the club by a friend. I joined and found my home away from home. I felt a sense of belonging on campus which was something I never thought I would have right when I walked into campus. I met people I can now call my family and I can rely on them any moment of the day."

Q: Please share the format of a typical club meeting. What topics do you discuss?
"We discuss our agenda for the semester and play some fun games to keep everyone involved and entertained. We also ask for ideas and volunteers for events."

Q: When and where does the Asia Club meet?
"We rarely have meetings. We are more of a event-based club."

Organizing an upcoming May 6 Soccerfest for area high school students and University community reaffirmed a goal for Joey DeFeo '23, shown. The University of Scranton marketing major said the project, part of a sports event management course led by Dr. Ovidiu Cocieru, strengthened his interest in sports marketing.

"My goal for the class was to come away with more knowledge in the topic of sports event management, as well as marketing. This course has enhanced my interest in a career in the field of sports marketing," said DeFeo.

The senior from Berkeley Heights, New Jersey and a few other students in the course unified efforts to assemble a May 6 tournament that caters to the campus community and area high school students.

The Soccerfest is scheduled to start at 9 a.m. at the University's Fitzpatrick Field. Designed as a fun and friendly 6v6 tournament, the event invites six to 10 players per team, guaranteed to play four games. Cost per team is $80 and includes a day full of activities, food, and, of course, soccer.

Interested participants must register by May 2 at soccerfest.org

DeFeo said he honed newly-acquired expertise in the process.

"One skill from this class that I have incorporated into the preparation for Soccerfest was the use of graphic design in Canva to create the flyer and social media posts for our Instagram marketing campaign," he said.

Among the group's efforts to enlist teams and publicize the first-time event, they:
* hosted table sits during events at the Riverfront Sports Complex in Scranton,
* visited area high schools and
* contacted schools within a 30-mile radius of the University.

DeFeo said the significant amount of collaboration required and tasks to be accompllished to create one community event surprised him. 

Engaging with the community and gaining new skills makes the project a success from DeFeo's perspective.

"I am really looking forward to hosting the soccer tournament to see the outcome of all the hard work we have done this semester."

Mackenzie Longo ’23, believes Take Back the Night, an event that brings awareness to interpersonal, sexual and domestic violence, is crucial on any college campus. The senior Occupational Therapy major from Holbrook, New York explains what inspires her to dedicate her time as student coordinator for this year’s event at The University of Scranton, which will take place on April 27 at The University of Scranton.

“I would encourage everyone to attend Take Back the Night at least once to educate themselves to properly advocate for those who have experienced these forms of violence,” Longo said. “It is a powerful event full of emotion and strength.”

What can attendees expect?

Longo outlined the evening’s events, which she said will begin Thursday on campus with a Pre-Rally from 5:00 p.m. -7:00 p.m. at the Dionne Green, with a focus on advocacy and education. It continues with a march to downtown Scranton from 7:00 p.m.-7:30 p.m. that ends at the Alumni Memorial Green. A Speak Out, where people are free to share their stories and experiences, begins there at 7:30 p.m., followed by a candlelight  vigil.

“(At the Speak Out) No one is forced to talk, and it is a confidential event, meaning it is exempt from Title IX and your story cannot be shared with anyone. This part is incredibly powerful, and it is a time to be heard and supported by your peers. Once everyone who wants to speak is done sharing, we end the night with a candlelight vigil,” Longo said.

She references the University policy regarding Title IX, which provides that every employee (except those specifically identified as a “confidential” resource) who receives information of sexual harassment or sexual misconduct involving a student as a complainant, respondent or witness, is required to share all relevant details (obtained directly or indirectly) with the Title IX Coordinator to allow the University to respond promptly and equitably to eliminate the prohibited conduct, prevent its recurrence and address its effects.

This is Longo’s second year as a volunteer with the event; previously she contributed her efforts as a co-leader of the program’s marketing committee.

An event with international roots

Take Back the Night's began in Europe in the 1970s as a stand against violence inflicted on women,  according to Longo, In 1975 in Philadelphia, the event took place in the United States for the first time. The University of Scranton includes Take Back the Night as a central part of programming as presented by the Jane Kopas Women's Center. To make the event possible, preparations for Take Back the Night begin in February, said Longo, such as contacting volunteers and organizations, and creating public awareness.

“This is our biggest event of the year, so we all have a hand in putting its pieces together. Without them, this event could not run.” said Longo, of the Jane Kopas Women’s Center staff and the many on campus who help create awareness and support the event, including faculty, staff, athletic teams and coaches, the IT team and Counseling Training Center. 

“I believe this event is crucial on any college campus. It gives everyone an opportunity to share, with no room for judgement from others. It gives so many people a platform to feel heard and understood... It is also an opportunity to support those around you and learn how to advocate for all individuals with these experiences.”

Interested in supporting the event?

Anyone interested in supporting Take Back the Night, is invited to share news of the event and volunteer at educational table sits during the pre-rally activities. Individuals can also plan ahead for next year and be part of the event’s initial process next February.

A fundraising event in support of The University of Scranton Relay for Life event will make a splash on Friday. A Dunk Tank event will take place at the DeNaples Center Patio on April 21 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

"Relay For Life Dunk Tank is a new event to promote our Relay on Friday, April 28. All proceeds will be donated to American Cancer Society," said Rebecca Reynolds '24, Relay For Life Planning Chairperson.

The complete lineup of volunteers at the Dunk Tank, who will each spend 15 minutes in the dunk tank, is shown at left, and any updates can be found at the Relay for Life Instagram page at this link: https://www.instagram.com/p/CrHVrxurH17/

Special guests will include University President Rev. Joseph G. Marina, S.J. at 12:15 p.m. All proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society. Cost is $5 for three throws.

"With the COVID-19 pandemic, we had been limited as to hosting the in-person event. This year we plan to bring Relay For Life into an event where The University of Scranton community can collaborate to raise awareness for cancer," said Reynolds.

"Our slogan this year is 'Boogie For A Cure' to commemorate The University of Scranton community gathering together. We hope to raise $15,000 this year and we need the Scranton community to gather to reach this goal together. Together we can and help end the fight against cancer!" 

The 2023 University Relay for Life event is scheduled to begin Friday, April 28 at 4 p.m. at the William J. Byron Recreation Complex Gymnasium.

On any given Tuesday or Thursday evening at Hyland Hall, students serve as attorneys and witnesses and follow typical court case process as part of the University of Scranton Mock Trial team, according to co-captain Kathleen Wallace ‘23.

The philosophy and theology major from Bowie Maryland, shown above, left, said the team travels to  various university campuses that host invitational and regional competitions, and last year the team progressed to the Opening Round Champion Series (ORCS) competition hosted in Cincinnati, Ohio.

"Our team competes against other college mock trial teams, presenting one side of a criminal or civil case designed by the American Mock Trial Association (AMTA). A trial involves opening statements, direct and cross examinations of witnesses, and closing arguments."

Not on a pre-law track? No problem. Wallace said that students whose interests range from trial law to acting might enjoy participating. More information about the association is available at http://www.collegemocktrial.org/. 

Q: Why did you join the Mock Trial team?
"After participating in mock trial all through high school, I knew I would want to join Scranton’s mock trial team my first year. Since joining, I have loved both the added challenge of collegiate mock trial and the supportive, fun team!"

Q: Can you explain the different roles on the team?
"Team members compete as attorneys or witnesses, with some team members competing as both attorneys and witnesses for different trials. Attorneys present speeches, ask questions of their own witnesses and opposing witnesses, and make and respond to objections. An attorney role requires critical thinking, excellent public speaking, and knowledge of the rules of evidence and the case materials. Witnesses tell their story connected to the case, answering questions asked by their own attorney and an opposing attorney. A witness role requires crafting a likable persona, quick thinking, clear presentation, and knowledge of their character and the case material."

Q: What roles have you filled on the team?
"I have competed as both a prosecution and defense attorney giving closing arguments, and I’ve occasionally been a witness. The past two years I also served as a co-captain of our team!"

Q: What does a case typically look like?
"A case involves a criminal charge or civil complaint, where a defendant is accused of some wrongdoing. In each case, there are numerous witnesses to choose from to call in trial that offer helpful evidence for both sides. This year, our case was a negligence lawsuit about a plane crash. Recent cases have ranged from arson to aggravated manslaughter. In one case, a parent was accused of poisoning their future daughter-in-law during her wedding!"

Q: When and where do you practice?
"We usually practice Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 to 8 p.m. in Hyland Hall. Before competitions, we meet more often for longer practices to prepare."

Q: Where does the team compete?
"We compete at various university campuses hosting invitational and regional competitions. We travel for the competition weekend and stay at hotels near the host campus! Sometimes, we host one-day scrimmages on our campus."

Q: Who would you recommend join the team?
"I would recommend joining the mock trial team if your interests range from trial law to acting! You certainly do not have to be pre-law to join the team. As long as you enjoy public speaking and are invested in the team, you’ll enjoy your experience!"

Q: What is the best part of Scranton's mock trial team?
"The best part of Scranton’s Mock Trial team is the support we show one another. We are always ready to help each other excel, and no matter a trial’s outcome we lift each other up. We’re a competitive team (we progressed to the Opening Round Champion Series (ORCS) competition in Ohio last year!) that also cares about having fun and enjoying the experience together."

Q: What has been your favorite part about mock trial?
"It’s so hard to choose a favorite part of competing because I love everything from objection battles to catching a witness on cross examination, but I think my favorite part is presenting my closing argument. Nothing beats commanding the courtroom while presenting the evidence your team successfully revealed throughout the trial."

Q: What is your most memorable moment from your time on the team?
"My most memorable moment from my time with our team was the closing ceremonies in Cincinnati, Ohio at ORCS. I felt so proud of how well our team did and felt so thankful to be friends with such awesome teammates."

Members of the University of Scranton Mock Trial team, shown, meet Tuesdays and Thursday evenings from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Hyland Hall. Last year they progressed to the Opening Round Champion Series (ORCS) competition in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Every semester, over 50 high school students come to The University of Scranton to experience a language class through a Language Immersion Day. For some, this may encourage them to study one of the university’s 11 language offerings as they begin their undergraduate studies. For others, they may enjoy visiting the campus so much that they decide to attend The University of Scranton. Some students have majored in a language at the University because of their experience at a Language Immersion Day, where they take part in a campus tour, attend an interactive language class, participate in activities in the Language Center, and enjoy lunch in the cafeteria.

In the Language Learning Center, students participate in online language learning activities. They also take an interactive quiz to learn more about the language they are studying. According to McCae Dougher, current University of Scranton Spanish Secondary Education major and previous Spanish Immersion Day student, “The best part was visiting the Language Learning Center in O’Hara Hall. It was so fascinating to me that there was an entire lab dedicated to learning languages.”

Next, they attend an elementary language class, the highlight of the day, taught by a Fulbright Language Teaching Assistant or visiting instructor from another country. These classes are interactive so high school students can participate in activities with University students and practice their language skills. Then, they enjoy lunch in the cafeteria and tour the University.

Stephanie Namlick, a Spanish teacher from Valley View High School, shared that the Spanish 101 class with Argentinian Fulbright Language Teaching Assistant Magalí Ferrer was her students’ favorite part of the day. She said, “They felt comfortable during the class and were engaged and interested in the content and the instructor.”

Ms. Spencer from MMI Prep shared that her students had a similar experience with Chiang Yun in her Chinese 101 class. “The Chinese teacher was wonderful. She was kind enough to allow our students to participate in her lessons, and her students and our students were very engaged in the activities she set up for the lesson. The experience is invaluable.”

For one student, attending a Spanish Immersion Day was the pivotal moment in deciding where she would study. Dougher shares that she knew she wanted to be a Spanish teacher since she was in middle school, but she was not sure where she wanted to attend college. When her high school Spanish department came to The University of Scranton for a Spanish Immersion Day, her time in the Language Learning Center convinced her that Scranton was the choice for her. Thanks to the Immersion Day, McCae says, “I knew that Scranton was the right choice for me!”

Q: What surprised you about this play and role, and live performance in general?
"How funny it is. In choosing the musical I wanted to propose this semester, I knew that I wanted something more lighthearted coming off of our production of 'Rent,' that included many heavy themes. ... In rehearsals, I constantly find myself laughing at new jokes or picking up lines I did not pay attention to before. The writers of this show created a very intellectually humorous show with lots of musical theater references. Yet, somehow they managed to make it suspenseful."

Q: How do you spend time during a five-minute break during rehearsal?

"During a five-minute break at rehearsal, you will usually find me either checking in with my assistant director Madi Borys or taking time with my friends in the cast. Sometimes you might even find me wandering to the basement to check in on what our amazing stage crew is building!"

Q: When did your involvement with the arts begin? Please explain what inspired your interest in the theater.

"My dad is involved in a theater community and had me involved by the time I was three. I love being able to perform for a group and know that I can take them into another world for awhile. My interest really picked up in my teenage years when I did a lot of musicals, from school to camps to community theater groups. My senior year of high school I had the opportunity to take on a directorial role for the first time and have been in love with it ever since. There is something special about seeing what you envision in your head come to life!"

"Without a doubt, the community. I knew about Liva from a high school friend of mine who spoke very highly of the club before I even stepped foot on campus. Joining Liva my very first semester was by far the best decision I have made in my time here. I have made lifelong connections and created a support system that has gotten me through my college career. I have also had the distinct pleasure of serving on the board for the past three years. I am honored that I have been able to witness and be a part of the group’s growth and am excited to see how they continue to grow once I graduate!"

"I have been in many theater productions within my time at Scranton and previously, as well. My favorite productions as a part of Liva include 'The Addams Family' and 'Rent.' In both musicals, I had the opportunity to play roles that were outside of my comfort zone and really pushed my acting abilities. My favorite production outside of Liva would have to be my high school’s production of 'Les Miserables.' As my favorite musical, it was such a fulfilling experience to be able to perform in my dream role!"

"I love giving tours to incoming families on campus. I also enjoy my majors of mathematics and computer science, so I spend a lot of my time coding. In my free time I love crocheting and knitting! It’s a really great way to decompress from a stressful day."

"Outside of theater at Scranton, my favorite part of the university would have to be the community. I have met so many wonderful people in my four years here, whether it be through Liva, my job in Admissions, my majors, or just related events on campus. I love being able to walk through campus and be greeted constantly by people I know. It has truly made campus a home away from home, and I will be sad to be leaving in just a few months."

Q: What is your role in "Curtains"? Please describe the character, and what you love and hate about them?
