Th ough some might consider femi-nism a matter of politics, undeclared freshman Ivann Arellano said it’s just common sense. “What does not being a feminist mean? Who is the guy that says, ‘No, women should not be getting paid the same?’” Arellano asked. “I think being a feminist is such a basic, elemental thing

in life, it’s almost like not being a racist, or not hating people.” Arellano and about 20 others sat down at the Consciousness-Raising Luncheon Tuesday at the Women’s Re-source Center in Scott-Willcoxon Hall to move from the basics into diffi cult topics in feminism. Aft er people grabbed sandwiches and chips, Tyrell Allen, the Women’s Resource Center’s graduate as-sistant, asked, “Can men be feminists?”

Dr. Katrina Rodriguez, cur-rently the Assistant Vice Presi-dent for Student Engagement and Dean of Students, will oc-cupy a newly created position, Vice President for Campus Community and Climate, an-nounced President Kay Nor-ton in a campus-wide memo on Tuesday, as part of the Campus Climate Initiative she began in September to address issues of diversity and inclu-sion on campus. In addition, Larry Loft en, currently the Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Community Standards and Confl ict Resolution, will be-come the Title IX Coordina-tor and Equity Offi cer, and a new position, the Assistant Vice President for Equity and Inclusion, will be fi lled using a search fi rm this summer. Both positions will report to Dr. Rodriguez. Th e creation of these new

positions is intended to address growing concerns regarding diversity and equity on cam-pus, including issues raised in listening sessions held by the president last semester. “The whole purpose of this reorganization is how we treat each other,” Norton said in a phone interview with The Mirror. While she doesn’t have an established list of goals for the new positions, Norton does have hopes for what they will accomplish. I’m looking forward to [Ro-driguez] addressing how we have conversations that are not anonymous about diffi cult topics,” Norton told the Mir-ror. “A university is supposed to be a place where we debate and talk about things that are in confl ict, and learn from each other.” Norton said that Rodri-guez’s position will be more focused on university-wide policy and leadership, while Loft en’s position will focus on compliance with laws and regulations regarding Title

IX, an anti-discrimination law that guards specifi cally against sexual discrimination. Th e Assistant Vice President for Equity and Inclusion will focus on outreach to UNC’s Cultural Centers: Th e César Chávez Cultural Center, the Marcus Garvey Cultural Cen-

ter the Native American Stu-dent Services and Asian/Pa-cifi c Islander Student Services, the Gay, Lesbian, BiSexual, Transgender, Ally Resource Center, Veterans Services and the Women’s Resource Center. Rodriguez, who received her doctoral degree from UNC, has served the univer-sity in a variety of capacities as both faculty and staff . She has experience and passion for di-versity and inclusion, accord-ing to Norton. Loften has extensive ex-perience meeting regulatory and legal requirements as they relate to diversity, and his new position will allow him to expand on that exper-tise, Norton said. Th e availability of two qualifi ed administrators that would transition easily into the newly formed positions was helpful to the president as she reorganized her staff , but there were no clear candidates within the university for the Assistant Vice President of Equity and Inclusion position. Th erefore, UNC will be con-

tracting a search fi rm that will look for quality candidates on a national scale. Th e positions being vacat-ed by Rodriguez and Loft en will not be fi lled by new staff members, but the president is confi dent that the services currently provided to students will not suff er. Th e salaries of the two employees will follow them to their new positions, with incremental salary adjust-ment to refl ect their expanded roles. Th e funds for the As-sistant Vice President for Eq-uity and Inclusion position have already been allocated, so no new money needs to be found to pay that employee when they are hired. Norton said that the gains provided by these new positions are worth the relatively modest invest-ment involved. “Adding one position and giving someone a title that has diversity in it is not suffi cient to address issues on campus and in the community,” Nor-ton told the Mirror. “We need to go big.”

New VP added to address diversity

Richard Jurin, who hails from a little bit outside of Manchester, England–with the accent to match, despite 25 years in the United States–is retiring, leaving the environmental studies program at UNC as his legacy. Jurin has been teaching since 1992 formally, and at UNC since 2000, but infor-mally he has been teaching much longer. “Informally I’ve been teaching for a long time. Back in England I was always training people and doing that kind of stuff ,” he said. During his stay at the University of Northern Colorado, Jurin revamped the en-vironmental studies program. When he arrived here the program was only a minor (one of the oldest in the country, he boasted). Aft er taking over the program in 2001, he kept it afl oat for the next eight years. In 2009 Jurin was approached to develop an environmental studies major, but, had been pushing for a sustainability long before being contacted. He said he was very persistent on the topic. “When I moved into university, I started making a lot of noise and talking about [sustainability] and people sort of ran to the bathrooms when I walked into the room,” he said. “I always joke about that, walk into a room and the provost and the president would all go into the bathroom, ‘whoa, what’s going on here? It’s Richard again!’” (Story continued on page 3)

Eventually though, Jurin’s insistence on a sustainability program at UNC worked out. Jurin spent two years, from 2009 to 2011, creating the program. First he had to get it approved by the university, and then he had to get it approved by the state, to make sure it would not confl ict with other programs in the state. When he was discussing the process that went into creating the major, Jurin consistently came back to one point. “You have to do a lot of paperwork,” he said. Despite all the work he put in, Jurin was humble about how the program came together. “I got help from people that didn’t have to help me, but they understood what I was doing and we understood each other. I found that was actually the greatest thing—besides the faculty already in the program, who have always been very helpful.” In particular, he found UNC’s administration very helpful in getting the envi-ronmental studies and sustainability major off the ground. Th inking about his retirement this year, Jurin said his favorite thing about being a professor is the students, which is also the part he will miss most. “I love doing the advising and all the students who come in. We

just talk and get into stuff ,” he said. “Students who just come by and want to talk because they’re so turned on by the information. ‘I’ve discovered this today,’ ‘I’ve read this today,’ what do you know? I’ve been in here for many a time with students who just wanted to talk to someone about something they were excited about. I’ll miss that interaction.” He added that he loves to see students start to understand diff erent concepts. “I love when I see the lightbulbs going off in the proverbial sense,” he said. “It’s exciting when you see students who actually start seeing the bigger picture, and you start breaking them out of the traditional paradigms and everything else that is sort of very constricting within the academic system.” Aft er his retirement, Jurin has no short-term plans. “I am literally going to step out, go hiking, biking, overnighting somewhere in the parks, in the wildernesses,” he said. “I’m going to totally decompress, let my mind just totally declutter. Do a lot of meditating.” Aft er that, he has a few ideas. He said that he wants to market sustainability to a broader audience, start to write more, present more and maybe do some speaker tours. “Sort of balancing out sustainability while keeping my contact with nature, and remaining youthful, healthy and vital for as long as I can,” he said with a chuckle.

Earlier in the semester, students in the anthropology club got a chance to go behind the scenes at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, in order to see what anthropologists do fi rst-hand. “Technically [anthropology] is just the study of humans,” said the anthropology club’s co-president Maria Warne, a senior anthropol-ogy major at UNC. “It could be past humans, the cultures of people or the language of people.” Sophomore anthropology major Gabrielle Scott added, “It’s also kind of about how humans interact with each other and what hu-mans are capable of, and how humans have changed over time.” Ten members of the anthropology club took a student-led trip to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science earlier this spring. Scott sent an email to Richard Bush, an archaeologist at the museum, and within twenty-four hours, she got a reply that he would be willing to give them a tour. Th e members got to go into the storage unit of the museum, where they were able to see archaeologists working alongside strange ex-hibits, including a taxidermy antelope and a decapitated hawk. Th e group also had the chance to see vault-like storage that they could open up to see stone tools, birds and other curiosities, Scott said. “Th is storage area was their educational area, so they actually bring these artifacts to schools to teach kids about diff erent cul-tures,” Warne said. Pieces of valuable career advice accompanied the group as Bush led them through the museum.

“Instead of going into museum studies, you should be an anthro-pologist major that takes museum studies classes,” Scott said. “And making friends with people is a big part of the community.” Th e club meets every Wednesday at the 16th Tavern Pub, and throws parties somewhat frequently, to which all are welcome. “You just have to be open-minded,” Scott said. Scott said that Sally McBeth, head of the anthropology depart-ment, hosts these parties at her house and this allows students to interact with their professors outside of class.

Creating empowering feminism

Story continued from page 1.

As they explored the question deeper, participants pondered how to include men in femi-nism without allowing men to dominate feminist spaces. Emily Hedstrom-Lieser, the assistant director of the Women’s Re-source Center, said people must each find their own unique rela-tionship to feminism. “I think that feminism can be for everybody,” she said. “I think that if we continue to look for opportunities to build collective un-sameness, we will always fail. I think we have to start evaluat-ing how to build collectiveness among difference.” According to a TED talk shown at the luncheon “Why Gender Equality is Good for Everyone–Men Included,” understanding those differ-ences helps men understand their privilege. The speaker, Michael Kim-mel, explained how he first recognized the “invisibility” of his privilege. During a feminist theory

discussion, Kimmel heard a black woman explain privilege to a white woman by asking her to reflect on what she sees in the mirror. The black woman said she sees “a black woman” in the mirror, while the white woman sees “a woman” in the mirror. By erasing her race, the white woman demonstrates her fail-ure to realize her privilege. Kimmel realized that he saw “a human being,” demonstrat-ing not only his racial privi-lege, but also his gender privi-lege. He claimed that privilege is invisible to those who have it. However, we live in an age of rapid information. In a global-ized society, junior acting ma-jor Jalen Taylor said that’s not exactly true. “Privilege is not invisible, it’s ignored,” she said. Taylor recounted a video of a speaker asking a mostly white crowd to raise their hands if they’d like to volunteer to be a black person. After no one raised their hand, Taylor said, the speaker explained that people know

they have privilege, they just prefer to hide it. Participants then pon-dered how, when and where to engage men in feminist conversations. While family conversation at home is ideal, Jeri Brewer, a first year higher education and student affairs leadership master’s student, said those working at a college have a vital chance to engage students in dialogue. “I think college is a great opportunity to introduce stu-dents to ideas that they might not be getting from home,” Brewer said. “College can be this opportunity to introduce students to some of these new ideas. I, myself, feel taxed with that responsibility.” Aside from working to create an inclusive feminism, Hed-strom-Lieser explained other feminist issues at UNC in an interview after the luncheon. “Gender violence is a core issue on any college campus,” she began. “Women navigat-ing a higher education insti-tution that is predominantly woman-identified, while also

being mindful about the types of disciplines that are encour-aged here, things like nursing and teaching arew female-dominated industries.” Along with issues in repro-ductive support and navigat-ing sexism in the classroom, Hedstrom-Lieser said she was not surprised to hear about the gender pay gap among UNC faculty. “I’m confident there is. I re-member hearing my woman-identified faculty who would share with me the barriers they would have in accessing tenure track opportunities compara-tive to male faculty,” she said. According to the 2014 fac-ulty salary data from Chron-icle Data, the average female faculty salary at UNC is only 86 percent of the average male faculty salary. After the luncheon, Tay-lor said it’s all about turning dialogue into action, hopefully leading to results. “We must continue to have conversations like this, while moving forward and making sure that we’re not just leaving

it as an open-ended conversa-tion,” she said. “Making sure that we’re going into the com-munity and our workforce and making these things happen that we so desperately need in order for everyone to be equal and feel comfortable with however they identify.”

Annual PVA picnic celebrates arts

By Jason [email protected]

Though the weather on Friday was cloudy and dark, the atmosphere inside Guggenheim hall couldn’t have been more pleasant. The College of Performing and Visuals Arts hosted their annual picnic in celebration of all the artistic talent at UNC. Open to all students and faculty, the picnic show-cased the great achievements of UNC’s PVA students. It was something of a last hurrah for all the artists, ac-tors and musicians at UNC. A spread of pizza and wings sat out on arranged tables, parallel to a pseudo-gallery of student art pieces. Sam Cheeseman, a senior acting ma-jor, brushed over the array of short sculptures. “Art can be shown in so many different forms,” he said while pausing in the gallery room. “I think it’s important to know there are so many differ-ent types of art, so many different modes of expression.” With summer break fast approaching and gradua-tions already being planned, for many, this was a bit-ter sweet moment, and also a collective sigh of relief. For sophomore musical theatre major Graeme Schulz,

acting isn’t something that just stops with the conclu-sion of his academic career. “I plan on taking it to New York. I really wanna pur-sue a career in performing,” he said. Deylan Dean and Christy Oberndoff, both fresh-man musical theatre majors, will be playing in The

Candlelight Dinner Playhouse’s rendition of The Wiz-ard of Oz. “Fortunately, with the help and training of UNC, I’m going to be playing the Scarecrow,” Dean said. “It’s my first professional gig, so I guess it’s fair to say ‘Go Bears!’” “I’m going to play Dorothy in the same show,” Oberndoff said. “Without this whole year in train-ing in UNC, Deylan and I would not have gotten these parts.” With success and opportunity under their belts, many of UNC’s PVA students are leaving this school with stars in their eyes and the professional skills to reach for them. “It’s exciting to see the fun work that our students do, and I’ll certainly miss them,” Christina Anthony, the event’s coordinator said. As students of the PVA college graduate, they are reminded of the importance of their talents. The uni-fying power of art is not something that can graduate and leave the university. Art is a coerner stone of culture. “It’s a community builder,” Jennifer Knock, a gradu-ate student in psychology and sociology said. “It’s a huge way to express our experiences and share our dif-ferences, especially in a university with such a diverse population. It’s an important way for students and fac-ulty to share their views and experiences in life.”

Club sports hosts annual banquet

By Chris [email protected]

The stars of the University of Northern Colorado’s Club Sports Department were out and in full force for the annual end-of-the-year awards banquet, held Tuesday night in the Campus Recreation Center’s Auxiliary gym. Members of all teams—from badminton, to tae-kwondo, to quidditch—dressed up and showed out to eat Roma’s pasta and celebrate and reminisce on the year in club sports. All the usual awards were given out, as they started out the night announcing teams’ most valu-able players and also recognizing all club athletes who held on to a 3.5 grade point average or higher throughout the year. A number of team awards were handed out as

well, with club wrestling winning new club of the year and club swimming winning club of the year. Winning awards is nice, but club sports are all truly about the people involved from the top to the bottom. That is why during the banquet Tuesday, members of the club sports executive council took time to honor Club Sports Coordinator Jaclyn Gid-ley for all her hard work keeping everything run-ning smoothly. She accepted the praise humbly on stage, and when interviewed, she directed all the praise back to the athletes, mentioning how important being involved is. The president of the newly formed club wres-tling team, Mike Bottoms, took Gidley’s comments a step further, stressing the reasons that students should get involved in club sports, mentioning four specifically. First, club sports give the student the ability to join or even continue their sport of choice if they

were unable to join the NCAA team. Second, it gives the students a sort of stress release, being that all most students really have is school and work. Lastly, it gives each student an ability to learn a sport if they are interested, plus students GPA’s tend to go up if they are involved in sports. Bottoms himself is a perfect example of this. As a transfer from Adams State University, he went from Division II to not making the Division I team at UNC. Starting the club wrestling team this semes-ter gave him the opportunity to continue the sport he loves. What the students take out of club sports and what they put back into them is completely up to them, as was represented by the number of different awards given out Tuesday night. For some, club sports are just a way to continue doing something they love, but for others they are so much more, and they have the potential to open up a number of opportunities.

Club Swimming earns second straight Club-of-the-Year Award

UNC awards honorable athletesStaff Report

[email protected]

Northern Colorado Athletics cele-brated its 2016 Student-Athlete Awards Banquet on Monday night, honoring not only the athlete accomplishments of all programs over the past year, but also academic achievements. The award categories for athletic feats included, Rookie of the Year, Bear Leadership, All-Bear Team and Male and Female Athlete of the Year. To no one’s surprise, women’s soccer player Mariel Gutierrez and football’s Trae Riek were crowned as the Rookies of the Year. Riek rushed for over 800 yards in nine games for the football team this season, averaging 5.4 yards per carry, breaking the Division I program record for YPC for a season. He also broke all fresh-man rush-ing records at the Divi-sion I level for UNC as a redshirt f reshman. Riek scored

a season-high seven touchdowns and led the team in points on the year. Gutierrez played and started all 23 games for the women’s soccer team in its first trip to the NCAA Tournament at the Division I level. She led the team

in scoring with seven goals on the season and a recorded a team-high 28 shots on goal. For her efforts G u t i e r r e z was named 2015 Big Sky All-Tourna-ment team, Big Sky Top

Newcomer, All-Big Sky first team, and NSCAA All-Pacific second team, the only other freshman to make the All-Pacific team was from Stanford. For the department’s Bear Leadership Award, the Student Athletic Advisory Council (SAAC) voted on one male and one female that exhibited leadership, sportsmanship, academic integrity and have gone above their normal duties as a student-athlete through involvement with athletics, campus and community. Softball’s Emily Holtz and wrestling’s Dylan Gabel were honored as the win-ners for all their contributions to not only their team, but the department

and the community as well. The All-Bear Team and Male and Fe-male Athlete of the Year were the main event of the evening. The winners must have represented significant achieve-ment in sport during current year and carried a minimum of a 2.0 GPA. The women’s All-Bear team consist-ed of Alisha Allen (Track and Field), Kendra Cunningham (Volleyball), Eri-ca Dick (Softball) and Amanda Myers (Golf) with the Athlete of the Year be-ing Adrienne Jordan (Soccer). The men’s team was made up of, Ste-ven Kupcho (Golf), Trent Noon (Wres-tling), Ellis Onic II (Football), Alex Wes-ley (Track and Field) and the Athlete of the Year, Taylor Risner (Football). Jordan was named Big Sky Defensive

MVP in 2015, and picked up Big Sky All-C o n f e r e n c e first team honors for the third time in her career. She was on the Big Sky All-Tour-nament team and All-Pacific second team. The senior started all 23

games for the Bears and was a defensive catalyst for the Bears. She also recorded 18 shots, ending her career with a total

of 66, with 12 of those shots on-goal, bringing her career total to 30. She finished in the Top 20 in games played, with 72 during her career at UNC. This winter, Jordan was the first player not only in Northern Colorado history,

but Big Sky history to be drafted by the NWSL (Na-tional Wom-en’s Soccer League) and play profes-sionally. Risner, a junior safety, made history for the foot-ball team in 2015 becom-ing just the

third player in Division I program his-tory to reach the century mark in tackles with 109 (38 solo, 71 assisted). The tackle total ranks him fourth all-time on the D1 list. He also netted 4.5 tackles for a loss, six PBUs, and one interception. He made the third team All-Big Sky and was an Academic All-Big Sky student-athlete for the third time in a row. He finished sixth in the Big Sky in tackles. Over 200 student-athletes were also recognized during the awards ceremo-ny for carrying over a 3.2 GPA through-out the school year.All Photos courtesy of UNCBears.com.

Female Athlete of the Year Adrienne Jordan was drafted into the National Women’s Soccer League.

Male Athlete of the Year Taylor Riser was just the 3rd player in Division I program history to reach 100+ tackles in a season.

Female Rookie of the Year Mariel Gutierrez was named to the 2015 Big Sky All-Tournament Team.

UNC’s Coach Collins headlines ninth annual Colorado Coaches for Charity

Staff [email protected]

The University of Northern Colorado Head Football Coach Earnest Collins, Jr. will once again join the football coaches from around the state in the name of charity. The ninth annual Colorado Coaches for Charity will be held on Wednesday, May 11th at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. Nearly 300 guests will be in attendance. All of the head football coaches from the Colorado universi-ties will share the stage with Coach Collins: Mike Bobo (Colo-rado State), Troy Calhoun (Air Force Academy), Mike MacIntyre (Colorado) and John Wristen (CSU-Pueblo). Each will bring their supporters to Denver to help raise money for their respective charities. Money is also raised during the evening to help spon-sor single-parent children attend Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) summer camps. Weld County Commissioner Sean Con-way serves as a Co-Chairman of the event. Additionally, each coach honors his annual recipient of Jerry D. McMorris Community MVP Award. Coach Collins’ 2016 Award honorees are Bob & Ann Ghent, owners of Ghent Chevrolet Cadil-

lac in Greeley. They will be recognized during the evening. The event is sponsored annually by the Fisher DeBerry Foundation, which is led by Hall of Fame and legendary for-mer Air Force Falcons Head Football Coach Fisher DeBerry. The Foundation supports children of single-parent families. “This is a fun and meaningful night for us every year,” said Fisher DeBerry. “The state of Colorado is blessed to have won-derful football coaches with big hearts. These coaches don’t just spend time on the football field or watching game film; they truly care about using their positions to give back to their re-spective communities.” Proceeds raised from the event are split between the coach-es’ charities. Coach Collins has once again chosen the Boys & Girls Clubs of Weld County as his beneficiary. Tables and individual tickets are still available, though the evening is nearly sold out. The more tickets and tables purchased by fans of each school, the more money that will go towards that particular coach’s charity.

The 2016 NFL draft has begun—and, for many, that means the new football season is already here. The first round came with few surprises. California’s Jared Goff and North Dakota State’s Carson Wentz have been the talk of the football community for weeks. It was known that they would go as the first two picks, the only question was who would go first. The Los Angeles Rams selected Goff as the first overall pick to fill their slot at quarterback for their return season to Los Angeles. In high school, Goff was a star—and he became the first fresh-man in California history to start as a quarterback on opening weekend. He finished his career by setting conference records with 4,719 passing yards and 43 touchdowns. Wentz went second overall to the Philadelphia Eagles, and is intended to be the second or third-string quarterback. Wentz led the North Dakota State Bison to two FCS champion-ships, and in his final year, completed 62.5 percent of his passes for 1,651 yards. While the selection was a smart move for Phila-delphia, who needed a third quarterback, it did not make last sea-son’s starter Sam Bradford happy. Although he has been told he is still the starter and Wentz is the quarterback of the future, Brad-ford has requested to be traded, and refused to participate in any more voluntary off-season activities and at one point was linked

to a potential trade with the Denver Broncos. He was drafted to be a second or third string quarterback, but Wentz may wind up the starter before the 2016 season is over. One surprise in round one was the 13th—the Miami Dolphins’ selection of Ole Miss offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil. He lives up to his reputation on the field, having started nine games as a true freshman in 2013, and earning several all-conference honors. 2014 was much of the same for him. He finished his career by

scoring a two-yard touchdown in the Sugar Bowl against Okla-homa State, an offensive tackle’s dream. However, his reputation off the field is cause for concern. In June 2015, Tunsil was charged with a domestic assault against his step-father. The charges were dropped, but the NCAA suspended him for seven games after learning of the impermissible benefits he re-ceived, and his failure to comply with the investigation. All things considered, the Dolphins have chosen to take a chance on Tunsil, and will see if his college career can be replicated at the NFL level. Another round-one surprise came from the Denver Broncos. At the last second, before the 26th overall pick, the Broncos traded with the Seattle Seahawks to take Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch. This was a mere two picks ahead of the Kansas City Chief, who had planned on taking him. After Peyton Manning’s retire-ment and the loss of Brock Osweiler in free agency, the Broncos were in need of a quarterback, and Lynch could be a valuable as-set. He completed just 58 percent of his passes in his first year as a starter, and threw just nine touchdowns against ten interceptions. In his second year, he led the team to an American Athletic Con-ference championship on a 10-win season, and followed it up with an 8-0 start in his junior year. Lynch’s ability to run with the ball will be an added boost for the Broncos’ already-strong offense, following the lack of that ability the Broncos had with Manning. The 2016 football season has officially begun, and teams are hopeful for their futures after the draft. A re-match of Super Bowl 50 will open up the regular season when the Denver Broncos face the Carolina Panthers on Sept. 8 in Denver.
