| 2025 US Open Cup Round of 16 preview: Riverhounds join 15 MLS teams in fight to |
| Posted on Tuesday, May 20 @ 00:00:14 PDT (0 reads) | |

What started on march 18 with 80 teams has now been reduced to the final 16 through 80 games and two hectic months of play.
for the first time ever, 15 of the 16 teams are from major league soccer. Just one club, the pittsburgh riverhounds sc of the usl championship, remains from the pool of 80 teams below mls. Also, among the field of 16 are eight former open cup champions, including the chicago fire who are going for their record-tying fifth open cup crown.
seven of the sixteen teams have reached the quarterfinals once in the past three tournaments, while three teams (austin fc, charlotte fc and st. Louis city sc) have never made a quarterfinal appearance.
before we conclude the fifth round and head off into the summer break, feel free to review the goals from round 4, courtesy of cbs sports goalazo america, while you read our recap of the round:

new england revolution (mls) vs. Chicago fire fc (mls)
chapey field at anderson stadium – providence, ri
kickoff: 7:30 p.M. Et
live video: paramount+
the chicago fire continue their 14-year search for a record-tying fifth us open cup championship when they travel to providence, rhode island to face the new england revolution in the fifth round.
for new england, being the home team is more or of a relative term, since 15 of their previous 24 open cup home games have been played away from gillette stadium. Five have been played at veterans memorial stadium in new britan, conn., Three each at lusitano field in ludlow, mass. And harvard university’s soldiers field in boston, two at harvard’s jordan field and one each in providence, ri at brown university’s stevenson field and anderson stadium at providence college.
the revs two previous open cup games at providence were both win over the rochester rhinos of the usl, 2-1 in the 2014 fifth round, and 3-0 in the 2017 fourth round. The only other open cup game in the modern era to be played at providence was the usasa’s bridgeport italians 3-2 win over the usl d3 pro’s rhode island stingrays at pierce memorial stadium in east providence. According to thecup.Us records, the last known open cup game played at providence before the modern era was a new england qualifying game on november 11, 1962 between providence italia and fall river sports at triggs memorial stadium, which italia won 2-1.
past us open cup meetings
chicago and new england have met three times previously in the open cup, the last time being in 2016, when the clubs met in the semifinals. Kei kamara gave the revs an early lead through a penalty, but david accam tied the game for the fire with his fifth goal of the tournament, tying him for the lead with edwin borboa la marquina fc. Je-vaughn watson gave the lead back to new england a few minutes before halftime, and teal bunbury clinched the win with his 85th minute goal to send new england to their third open cup final, the last one they have been to.
the first meeting came on august 3, 2005 in the fourth round. The teams played to a 1-1 draw after 90 minutes, and in extra time cj brown and andy herron (his second goal) scored minutes apart in the opening 15 minutes of extra time to put chicago up 3-1, and andy dorman would cut the lead to 3-2 in the 120th minute, but it was too little too late.
the teams met again the following year, this time in the quarterfinals. Andy herron’s goals in each half cancelled out taylor twellman’s lone goal for the revolution, and chicago won 2-1 and would go on to claim their fourth open cup championship.
path to the round of 16
chicago cruised in their fourth round affair, defeating detroit city fc (usl-c) 4-0 on goals from hugo cuypers, omari glasgow, maren haile-selassie and a detroit own goal. New england shook off the upstart rhode island fc (usl-c) 2-1 when cristiano oliveira finally broke a 1-1 deadlock in the 88th minute.
current form
chicago are currently 5-4-4 in the mls eastern conference, and are 3-0-1 in all competitions in may after suffering a 7-2 thrashing at nashville at the end of april. Hugo cuypers leads the team with 8 goals and ties him for fourth in the league while jonathan bomba ‘s 5 assists is tops on the team.
new england are just below chicago in the standings at 5-4-3, and have scored just 12 goals, fifth lowest in the league. Carles gil has accounted for half of those goals. However their 10 goals allowed is lowest in mls. Goalkeeper aljaz ivacic has five clean sheets in his 11 games played. The revs are on a 7-game unbeaten streak across all competition going back to mid-april.

25th us open cup appearance

manager: gregg berhalter
overall: 46-17-7 (4-3 pk)

vs. Mls: 24-11-2 (2-0 pk)
best finish: champions (1998, 2000, 2003, 2006)
when the chicago fire franchise was launched in 1998, they were an instant success, especially in the us open cup. The fire are perhaps the most successful mls club in the open cup with four championship wins in six final appearances, 13 semifinal appearances (most in us open cup history), and 15 quarterfinal appearances (2nd most in us open cup history).
in league play, they’ve been far less successful. After winning mls cup in their debut year of 1998, the only other accolade the fire has earned was the supporters’ shield in 2003. The club is on a dreadful seven season run of missing the mls cup playoffs.
the windy city is home to four other open cup champions besides the fire. Teams such as bricklayers fc, sparta a & ba, croatian sc and aac eagles among many others ensured a chicago team was a contender for the crown.

best finish: champion (2007)
outside of their lone open cup championship in 2007 and two other final appearances in 2000 and 2016, new england’s open cup history is lackluster. 13 of their 21 previous appearances in the open cup have ended after just two or fewer games.
the revs league record isn’t much better, with just one supporters shield in 2021, and five appearances in the mls cup final (2002, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2014) with no championships.
massachusetts has been home to five other open cup champions, with eight titles among them. Leading the way are the fall river marksmen, winners of five open cup titles. The club had the unique situation of being based in fall river, mass., But playing their home games just across the border in tiverton, r.I. This was done to circumvent massachusetts blue laws that prohibited charging admission for games played on sunday.
san jose earthquakes (mls) vs. Portland timbers fc (mls)
paypal park – san jose, ca
kickoff: 10:30 p.M.
live video: paramount+
the portland timbers and san jose earthquakes, a pair of teams with plenty of recent history in the open cup, meet in san jose seeking their first quarterfinal appearance in five and seven years respectively. Portland last reached the quarterfinals in 2019, where they defeated los angeles fc 1-0 to advance to their second semifinals appearance. San jose last reached the quarterfinals in 2017, where a 3-2 win over the la galaxy propelled them to the semifinals for the first time since 2004. Portland and san jose are the only mls teams with 10+ open cup appearances who have never appeared in a final.
san jose and portland have met once already this year in mls play on may 3 at san jose. Cristian espinoza scored two goals and assisted on another, and cristian arango had a goal and two assists as the earthquakes won 4-1.
past open cup meetings
the first open cup meeting between the clubs came in 2004 in the fourth round when portland was still in the usl. In front of over 10,000 at portland’s pge park, ronnie ecklund, ramiro corrales and dwayne derosario scored for the ‘quakes in a 3-0 win as they would eventually advance to their first ever semifinal appearance.
the teams met again the following year, again in the fourth round in portland, and san jose came away as 2-0 winners on goals from wade barrett and brian mullan.
eleven years would pass until the next open cup meeting, but this time the timbers had joined mls.
once again in the fourth round in 2016 at portland in front of 16,000+ fans, the timbers came out on top 2-0 on goals from dairon aprilla and jack mcinerney. Two years later, again in the fourth round at portland, the timbers repeated their 2-0 triumph from two years prior, dairon asprilla scoring once again and joined by jeremy ebobisse on the score sheet.
road to the round of 16
portland narrowly avoided the embarrassment of losing to their rival’s reserve team, beating tacoma defiance of mls next pro 3-2. After trailing 2-1 for much of the second half, gage guerra brought portland level in the 80th minute, then kevin kelsy converted a penalty kick in second half stoppage time to win it.
san jose took care of one of the more dangerous usl teams in open cup play, beating sacramento republic 2-1. Amahl pellegrino and preston judd scored in the opening half as the ‘quakes held a 2-0 lead until sacramento scored deep into stoppage time.
current form
portland are in the top 4 of the mls western conference at 6-3-5, and are 2-0-2 in their last four games across all competitions, and are coming off a 1-1 home draw with eternal rival seattle sounders. Felipe mora leads the team with five goals, and antony alves santos has seven assists, putting him second in the league.
san jose sits mid-table at 5-6-3, still a vast improvement to the last place finish in 2024. The ‘quakes are the best scoring team in the league with 29 goals. Cristian arango is second in mls with 9 goals and cristian espinoza tops the league with 11 assists, on the down side, san jose has allowed 23 goals in their 14 league games.

vs. Mls: 10-9-0 | 5-7-0
best finish: semifinals (2013, 2019)
the portland timbers have had a disappointing open cup history. In its 10 appearances as an mls club, portland have reached the semifinals twice in 2013 and 2019 and the quarterfinals in 2014 and 2018. On the downside, the timbers have been eliminated after their first or second game six times, including their last two appearances in 2022 and 2023.
in mls play, the timbers won one championship in 2015 and reached the mls cup final in 2018 and 2021, though two of the last three seasons they’ve missed the playoffs.

home: 11-5-2 (1-1)
vs. Mls: 2-9-5 (1-4 pk)
best finish: semifinals (2004, 2017)
outside of a 2017 semifinal appearance, san jose’s open cup record isn’t very impressive. 12 times they’ve been eliminated after just two games, and 4 of those were “one and done”. San jose have the most open cup appearances of any mls team (20) without making an appearance in the final. San jose was once a powerhouse in mls, winning mls cup in 2001 and 2003 and the supporters shield in 2002.
that all changed after the 2005 season, when the club rebranded as the houston dynamo. Mls awarded san jose a new franchise, retaining the records of the original earthquakes. The only ray of light was winning the supporters shield in 2013. Since the team was reborn in 2007, the ‘quakes have reached the mls cup playoffs just five times. The city of san jose first dipped heir toe into the open cup pool during the 1970 tournament, when the san jose latinos entered. Throughout the 70’s teams like the san jose portuguese ac , san jose grenadiers and san jose lobos would be regular entrants and would make the occasional deep run. The san jose oaks won the open cup in 1992 2-1 over vasco da game of bridgeport, conn.
the earthquakes are led by bruce arena who led d.C. United to an open cup title in 1996. After falling short in penalty kicks with d.C. In the 1997 final (to the dallas burn), arena has not led a team to the championship game since. In fact, since 1997, only two of his teams (2015 and 2016 la galaxy) have survived more than two games in a single tournament. Arena, one of american soccer’s all-time great coaches, has a career open cup coaching record of 16-10-2 (1-1 pks). He has 11 us open cup major titles (mls cup, supporters’ shield, concacaf champions cup, us open cup) to his credit, which is tied with sigi schmid with the most.

past us open cup meetings
there has been just one other meeting between the clubs in the open cup, way back in 1997 when both teams played under different monikers. In front of a sparse crowd of 1,200 at columbia university’s baker field, the dallas burn defeated the ny/nj metrostars 2-1 in golden goal extra time. An 18th minute goal from damian gave dallas a 1-0 for much of the game, but the metros brazilian forward branco scored the equalizer in the 85th minute. Thirteen minutes into extra time jorge flores won it for dallas. Dallas went on to win the 1997 open cup, the first of two championships. The game is also the only other time dallas has played an open cup game in new york city or new jersey.

After lucho acosta gave dallas an early 1-0 lead, atla’s osvaldo lay stunned the mls clyb with a strike from near the center circle to tie the game 1-1. Kaick gave the lead back to dallas just before halftime and bernard kamungo scored the insurance goal in the 71st minute.
the red bulls traveled to a cold and rainy colorado springs to face the usl championship switchbacks, [and left 4-1 winners](https://thecup.Us/2025/05/07/2025-us-open-cup-round-4-mohammed-sofos-brace-help-ny-red-bulls-cruise-past-switchbacks/).

round to the round of 16
to get to the fifth round, houston had to work an [extra 30 minutes to beat phoenix rising 4-1](https://thecup.Us/2025/05/08/2025-us-open-cup-round-4-houston-dynamo-come-alive-in-ot-eliminate-phoenix-rising/). Tied 1-1 after regulation time, the dynamo grabbed the lead when jack mcglynn scored in the 99th minute. The result was solidified on goals from ezequiel ponce (112’) and sebastian kowalczyk (115’).
austin fc didn’t have to work overtime, [but they did have to stage a stunning comeback](https://thecup.Us/2025/05/08/2025-us-open-cup-round-4-austin-fcs-brandon-vazquez-makes-fans-believe-with-comeback-vs-el-paso/). Down 2-0 to el paso locomotive for the first 73 minutes, brandon vázquez began a run that saw austin score three times in eight minutes. Myrto uzuni followed with the game-tying goal, assisted by vázquez, three minutes later, then vázquez scored his second in the 80th minute for a 3-2 lead. Owen wolff assisted on both of vázquez’s goals.
current form
houston is 4-6-4 in the western conference and austin is right above them at 5-6-3. Ezequiel ponce leads houston with three goals and griffin dorsey has five assists. Brandon vasaquez is austin’s leading scorer with four goals and owen wolff leads with three assists.

houston dynamo fc (mls)
major league soccer | houston, tx
17th us open cup appearance
how they qualified: automatic bid
founded: 2006
manager: ben olsen
overall: 26-12-3 (1-2 pk)
away: 7-7-1 (0-1 pk)
vs. Mls: 11-10-1 (1-0 pk)
best finish: champions (2018, 2023)
the houston dynamo are like the nfl’s baltimore ravens. In 1996 the ravens relocated to baltimore from cleveland and promptly won a super bowl. Houston left san jose after the 2005 seasons, then won back-to-back mls cups in 2006 and 2007. The club has been looking for its third championship since then.
the dynamo have had success in the open cup as well, winning championships in [2018](https://thecup.Us/2018/09/27/2018-us-open-cup-final-houston-dynamo-break-union-to-win-first-usoc-title/) and [2023](https://thecup.Us/2023/09/28/2023-us-open-cup-final-houston-dynamo-uses-hot-start-to-beat-inter-miami-bring-trophy-back-to-h-town/). Their 2024 title defense was [stopped cold by detroit city fc on penalties after a 3-3 draw](https://thecup.Us/2024/05/08/2024-us-open-cup-round-4-detroit-city-fc-rallies-to-force-ot-wins-pk-shootout-to-oust-defending-champ-houston-dynamo/). It was just the fourth time in the modern era that a defending champ was eliminated in their opening game the following tournament.
the city of houston made a mark on the open cup before any of its clubs did. [The 1983 open cup semifinals and final](https://thecup.Us/2018/09/26/1983-us-open-cup-final-the-first-time-houston-hosted-us-soccers-championship-game/) were hosted at houston’s delmar stadium, and won by new york pancyprian freedoms in a 4-3 goal fest over st. Louis’ kutis sc.

manager: nico estévez
overall: 2-2-0

vs. Mls: 0-1-0
best finish: fifth round (2023)
next to st. Louis city sc, austin fc has the least experience in the open cup among mls clubs, with just four games played.
the city of austin also has a limited history in the open cup. The highest profile team in the pre-modern era is perhaps the austin soccadillos, who entered the 1991 tournament, winning their group in usisl qualifying only to fall 3-0 to the other group winner in the usisl qualifying final, the richardson rockets, who would go on to reach the 1991 us open cup final.
in the modern era, six other teams represented austin in the open cup.
first up was the austin lone stars of the usl d3 pro league, appearing in three tournaments from 1997-1999, only posting a 2-3 record.
amateur club real madrid won the usasa region iii qualifying tournament in 2002 but lost their lone cup game.
in 2008, the austin aztex u-23s qualified through the pdl (now usl league two), [being eliminated on penalty kicks by the atlanta silverbacks](https://thecup.Us/2008-first-round-silverbacks-equalize-twice-win-pk-shootout-vs-aztex-u23s/) after a 2-2 draw. The aztex u-23s were the development team of the usl’s austin aztex, who would move in 2010 and become orlando city sc.
the new austin aztex qualified as a pdl cub in [2013](https://thecup.Us/2013/05/22/2013-us-open-cup-second-round-wilmington-hammerheads-net-first-road-win-2-0-in-austin-with-aztex-aid/) and [2014](https://thecup.Us/2014/05/16/2014-us-open-cup-round-2-north-texas-rayados-equalizes-three-times-stuns-austin-aztex-in-pk-thriller-video/) without much success, then again in 2015 when the club turned pro and moved up to the usl, reaching the third round where they [lost 2-0 to the houston dynamo](https://thecup.Us/2015/06/17/early-late-goals-propel-dynamo-over-aztex/).
in 2019, the usl championship’s austin bold matched the aztex 2015 run, reaching the third round before also [falling to the houston dynamo, this time 3-2](https://thecup.Us/2019/06/12/2019-us-open-cup-round-4-houston-dynamo-hold-off-austin-bold-rally-advance-to-round-of-16/).
finally the only other team currently calling austin its home is austin fc ii, who appeared in 2024 and were [upset by foro sc on penalties](https://thecup.Us/2024/03/20/2024-us-open-cup-round-1-10-man-foro-sc-equalize-late-oust-mls-next-pro-champs-austin-fc-ii-in-pks/). |

Staff photo / r. Michael semple liberty pk-6 elementary school sixth grader peighton wittway, 11, uses the virtual reality equipment provided by the youngstown business incubator during a visit to the classes monday.
liberty — peighton wittway had an opportunity to visit an african savannah, see an elephant or two, control a roller coaster’s movement and play a few laser-controlled games — all without leaving her seat.
“it was really cool when i saw everything like you’re in the world,” peighton, 11, a pk-6 elementary school sixth-grader, said.
from the comfort and convenience of her desk and chair, she was able to “travel” halfway around the world to see parts of africa. The sixth-grader also exercised the ability to control a virtual roller coaster with “brakes and everything to go fast or slow,” she said.
making all of this and more possible for peighton and about 20 of her fellow classmates in melissa leslie’s sixth-grade science class were meta quest virtual reality headsets. They were introduced to the students during one of several sessions monday at the school, 4003 shady road, in which the youngstown business incubator in downtown youngstown launched a virtual reality program to the district’s sixth-grade science classes.
“we’re going to an african savannah and a rainforest today,” megan payich, director of the ybi’s explorer virtual reality program, told the students.
the technological lessons adhere to state teaching standards. The virtual reality field trips also give teachers the latitude to choose their own lessons with the equipment, payich said.
“they’re an extra tool for them to learn things they may not see in life,” she added.
another advantage to the sophisticated and adjustable technology, which also is equipped with controllers and a password, is that it has the capability to hold students’ attention longer, which, in today’s modern society of cellphones and other electronic devices and distractions, often is a challenge, payich said.
monday’s session was a pleasing fit for peighton because she also saw a virtual shark tank with sharks surrounding it — something that aligns with her love of animals of all kinds.
“i’ve read about africa,” she said. “I love sea life and i want to study marine biology in college.”
in addition, many of the students physically reacted to what they were watching via various dramatic hand and arm movements.
the session also was an ideal near match for leslie’s science class, because she has been recently teaching her students about cells and organisms.
“i feel it fits right into what we’re talking about,” said leslie, who has taught 23 years in the district.
monday’s experience also piggybacked on other virtual trips to which she has exposed the students. One of them was a “travel” to pompeii, italy; another allowed the students to see part of yellowstone national park in wyoming and montana, leslie said.
in addition, the students viewed a virtual lagoon and had an interesting and stimulating chance to learn more about various plants and animals associated with such a setting, she added.
“i like to incorporate lots of hands-on things, so this is a plus,” said leslie, who also has taught language arts and math in the district.
regardless of the complexities of the technology — and experiencing it for the first time — one old-fashioned aspect was not lost on peighton or her classmates: deriving a bit of fun and enjoyment from it.
adam earnheardt, a professor in youngstown state university’s communications department, arranged the student experience. Many of his students also partake of the technology, he said.
“i had megan (payich) visit my exploring communication class this past spring semester to introduce and, in some cases, reintroduce students to vr technology,” earnheardt said in an email. “A lot of my students use this technology for gaming, but the real power with vr is educational. These immersive experiences can really transform learning and get young students interested in learning about topics they might otherwise find uninteresting.”

| Saving by Choice, Not by Chance, by Mary Hunt | Creators Syndicate |
| Posted on Tuesday, May 20 @ 00:00:14 PDT (0 reads) | |
|
|
A question that i answered in a previous column brought a small avalanche of mail, mostly from readers who were aghast that i would suggest they save such a significant portion of their paychecks for retirement. It was money they insisted they could not afford to save.
i can only imagine that for a person who saves nothing, suggesting they should be saving thousands every year can be shocking or perceived as impossible. Here is one of those messages:
dear mary: i am a 34-year-old college grad. My school debt is approximately $46,000. My car loan is $8,500. I have a chronic medical condition that costs me thousands each year.
i was reading an article that you wrote where you told a reader that she needed to save the maximum allowed in her 401(k), which i believe was something like $17,500 a year, plus save an additional 10% of her net income in her emergency fund.
i am barely making it right now, though i work full time as a teacher and make approximately $65,000 a year. I would love to know what you would suggest i do to start being able to save that much. — Heather
dear heather: i recall that article. Reader b.H., As she identified herself, is a recently single mother with two college-aged kids, barely surviving because she is putting the financial support of her two adult children ahead of her own financial care. Shes in a difficult position.
i recommended that she immediately shift to taking care of her own financial future now that her children are old enough to be on their own. I went on to point out all of the ways she needs to be crash-saving for her retirement because, at this point in her life, she is all she can count on. She must begin to take care of her own financial future.
i responded, you need to make sure that you are contributing the maximum each year to your employers 401(k) or 403(b) retirement plan. Once you reach age 50, you can increase that amount by another amount per year as an allowed catch-up provision, and you should.
of course, she is not required to contribute any amount to her employers retirement plan, and she can contribute any amount up to the maximum allowed each year. At this point in her life, however, it is important that she push hard to reach the maximum.
you may believe that you cannot save because your debts are high. Or that you just do not make enough money to save anything at all. Wrong. How much you save has little to do with your income. It has to do with the choices you make.
even with your large student debt and car loan, at $65,000 per year, you have — or should have — some amount of discretionary income. It all comes down to what you choose to do with that money.
you can choose to spend it now, or you can choose to save it. Even if all you can save is 5%, do it. Start now. Then start looking for every way you can stop spending so you have more money to save. Track your spending. Know where every penny goes.
look at every expense. Eliminate all you can — like cable tv, restaurant meals, drive-thru coffee — then cut back everywhere else. Examine every expense, and ask yourself, how can i reduce this, even if only a small amount? (And on that happy day when you make your last car payment, and again when you send in that last payment on that big student debt, start paying those monthly amounts to yourself and your future.)
as a schoolteacher, i assume you have at least a couple of months off in the summer, as well as extended holidays at christmas and spring break. Instead of seeing those days off as free time to rest and vacation, look at them as golden opportunities to pick up side jobs. One idea that comes to mind would be to freelance as a tutor. It is feasible that if you were diligent to save all of that additional income from side jobs, right there, you would have enough to reach your annual 10% savings goal.
i dont know your situation in detail, but i can promise you this: the sooner you start, the more time your dollars will have to grow. The choice is yours.
for my readers who only wish theyd started when they were 34 years old, i will tell them they cannot change the past but the future is a blank slate.
start today. Make the tough choices, the difficult decisions. Embrace frugality; adopt simplicity. Be willing to make sacrifices. And never forget: its only too late if you dont start now.

| Fayettes Evan Beauregard is in the Player Spotlight | Sports | northwestsignal.n |
| Posted on Tuesday, May 20 @ 00:00:14 PDT (0 reads) | |
|
|
Fayette — fayette high school is one of the smallest high school’s in northwest ohio, and senior evan beauregard said that was perfect for him.
beauregard, who is the class valedictorian with a 4.228 grade point average, has been a standout in four sports for the eagles, running cross country in the fall, playing basketball and archery in the winter and competing in track and field in the spring.
“coming from a small school, i have learned that the extracurricular activity field sort of lacks due to enrollment numbers,” said beauregard. “Even with this negative factor, sports have been what i most enjoy about going to fayette high school. It is awesome to watch a small group of teenagers accomplish so much due to great coaches and programs.”
as a junior, beauregard witnessed first hand, as he was part of the eagles 4x800 relay team which qualified for the state meet — the first boys relay team in school history to reach the state championships.
“last year i was lucky enough to be a part of a record-breaking 4x800 team that made it to state track,” said beauregard. “Our track teams are never large, so a relay team making it far has never been a hot subject in fayette. Due to hard work and trust in one another, three of my good friends and i broke our school record and got to take a trip down to dayton to compete. This is something i will never forget.”
what bryan stambaugh, who coaches beauregard in cross country and track and field, will never forget is the sacrifice it took by beauregard to even be a part of that 4x800 relay team.
despite running cross country, which is a 3-plus mile race, beauregard mainly competed in sprint hurdles and pole vault during the track and field season. He was not a distance runner.
“i don’t think he gets enough credit for what he did,” said stambaugh. “We knew we had three good runners. He stepped up despite that he competes in more technical events, especially pole vault.
“he knew he could help us,” added stambaugh. “He knew what it could do for the track program.”
beauregard turned his focus to running a distance race.
“it was a hard season,” said beauregard. “I struggled with the pole vault, but i started to figure some things out and the guys were just great to work with.”
at the regional meet, beauregard ran the anchor leg, taking the baton in first place. He ran his personal best time of 2:16 in that final leg and held on for third place — and a spot at the state meet.
“i couldn’t have been prouder of him at the regional,” said stambaugh. “He got the baton in the lead and he stepped up. A lot of kids, who had never been in that situation before might have fallen apart. He got his pr (personal record).
“he had the tools,” added stambaugh. “It was getting him to believe in himself. Last year was a rocky year for him, he got hurt a couple of times, but mentally, i think, it made him tougher for this year.”
beauregard credits his athleticism to his late grandfather, dick torio, who played football and wrestled at the university of toledo in the 1950s, and was inducted into the toledo hall of fame in 1979.
“as a kid i was surrounded by olympic athletes (who worked out at his grandfather’s gym in toledo) doing athletic things,” said beauregard. “That was a big part of my life.
“about everyone (at fayette) does a sport,” added beauregard. “So when i got to junior high i went out for cross country and track and field — those were two sports i knew i could do.”
beauregard didn’t play basketball his sophomore season, but came back to play the past two seasons.
“i enjoyed the people in the program,” said beauregard. “I think that is very important.”
along with playing sports, beauregard is the class vice president; a member of the future farmers of america, serving as treasurer this year; is on student council; and is a member of spanish club and the school band.
the son of ron and angie beauregard of fayette plans to attend the university of toledo and study mechanical engineering.
“he’s a great kid,” said stambaugh. “You don’t have to tell him to do something, he jumps in and looks to lead. His mom’s a teacher and that, being a leader, is just instilled into him. He’s a very good fit for that role.”
beauregard said he is just soaking up all the knowledge he can as he prepares for his next adventure — college.
“being surrounded by so many good people, it has taught me to be the best,” said beauregard. “To be the best, you have to work really hard, especially when no one is looking and you are all by yourself. That is what is going to show in college.”
and for a lifetime. |

| Commencement: Live updates from Columbias 2025 graduation ceremonies - The Colum |
| Posted on Tuesday, May 20 @ 00:00:14 PDT (0 reads) | |
|
|
More than 1,000 students received their undergraduate and graduate degrees at the credit union 1 arena on the campus of the university of illinois at chicago on sunday, may 18.
commencement: live updates from columbia’s 2025 graduation ceremonies
video: columbia celebrates graduation
columbia concludes commencement for spring 2025
as the last of the graduates made their way across the stage, the cheers of families, friends and faculty echoed throughout the arena.
the graduates moved their tassels from the right to left, signifying the transition into their new journey as college graduates.
after they filed out of the area, the concords were filled with people to congratulate them.
veronica leafblad, who graduated with a degree in theatre and design tech, said the commencement ceremony was a good way to end their academic career.
“it was very enjoyable to see the community,” leafblad said. “I started during covid, so this was a good way to end it on a high note.”
for kaden kearby, a graduate with a bachelor’s in graphic design, the moment was a time to be grateful for those who helped him on this journey.
“i’m thankful to all the teachers that helped me get my degree and i’m ready to be done,” kearby said. “Thanks to all my friends who helped me along the way.”
fine arts graduate kristian alvarado said the best thing they got from their time at columbia was the connections he built throughout his academic journey.
“i met a lot of great people and was able to be inspired,” alvarado said.
carmen ordonez, who graduated with a photography degree, was happy to have made it here despite the challenges.
“i’m honduran, and i feel very excited and happy to have gotten this degree,” ordonez said. “I’m so proud of myself and everyone else in the class of 2025.”

‘we came to this school for a reason’
richard walker, associate professor in the school of theatre and dance, welcomed students and families as the mc, a role he’s played in past ceremonies.
“we are here to celebrate the creativity, hard work and the accomplishments of the students who have completed their degree requirements,” walker told the audience.
the student speaker for this ceremony, abby rankin, who will receive a bachelor’s in comedy writing and performance, offered reassurance to the graduating class.
“we came to this school for a reason — whatever that reason was, we made it,” rankin said in the speech. “And now we’re commencing to the next stage of our lives together. I hope we leave today knowing in our souls that each and every one of our works deserves to be seen, cherished, and remembered.”
the second honorary degree recipient was joseph sikora, who graduated in 1998 with a degree in theatre.
in his speech, he spoke of the importance of putting in the effort in order to achieve success.
“just like a tree doesn’t grow as only a trunk, when you have learned the art of the pivot in your roots in your foundation that allows you to grow, not only straight up, but also in ways that you never thought possible,” he said.
the mace in the second ceremony was carried by luying chen, associate professor in the school of communication and culture, who sat on the stage with administrators, school leaders and faculty who were bestowed the rank of emeritus or emerita. Chen also was bestowed the rank of emerita.
at the earlier ceremony, jeff spitz, an associate professor in the school of film and television, was one of the recipients. He was laid off in january, along with 22 other full-time faculty. Not all of them attended graduation. Spitz later shared a story on instagram with an image of senior vice president and provost marcella david bestowing the new rank on him. “To be clear, i did not retire,” he wrote, echoing a post he also shared after the first graduation. “Columbia eliminated documentary and my position.”
in the post he added, “it was a great run. Friends i aint done.”

as afternoon ceremony begins, future graduates reflect on what’s next
students filed into the arena for the second ceremony of the day as the college’s jazz ensemble played music until all the future graduates took their seats.
this ceremony began at 4:30 p.M. For the schools of theatre and dance, audio and music, design and visual arts
nathan joseph brieva, a photography major, said he took a hiatus during the pandemic because he didn’t want to take online classes. He returned to finish his degree.
“i was fortunate to find jobs, find a reliance so i’m hoping to keep building my network and keep representing myself.”
comedy writing and performance major hezekiah duncan said that while he felt excited to finally graduate, he also was exhausted. He has a job and needs to be at work the day after commencement.
“it’s sort of just like it’s a momentous occasion, but it’s also when you know you have the rest of our life after it’s a very happy blip on the radar,” duncan said.
jamil barrios, a graphic design major, said that the best thing he got from his time at columbia was the experience.
“there were some rough patches, but it helped me be a better person,” barrios said.
as the first member of their family to earn a master’s degree, photography major sean grove said it felt like a big deal.
“i am actually applying for law school and artist residencies because i can do both,” grove said, talking about their plans after receiving their degree tonight.

first commencement ceremony ends with flowers, hugs for graduates
the first of columbia’s 1,094 graduates emerged into the sunshine outside the credit union 1 arena after receiving their diplomas to cheers from the packed morning commencement ceremony, which lasted three hours.
family and friends greeted them with bouquets of flowers, hugs and jokes about finally graduating.
judah ambrose received his bachelor’s in asl-english interpretation, one of the majors that the college will phase out by 2028. It could become a minor.
ambrose said that after being at the college for “a long four years,” officially being a graduate feels “unreal.”
“it means a lot to me, and specifically to the deaf community as well” to be a part of the handful of graduates with this degree. “There is an interpreter shortage, so it’s super important to have anyone in the major to graduate and to continue being an interpreter.”
film and television graduate ja’keeta lewis said they were excited to be done with school, especially after “all the hard times i’d been through.”
lewis wanted to leave their columbia legacy for black individuals and women — especially in the film and television industry.
“don’t be scared,” lewis said. “Even though your race is different, don’t be scared.”
legacy was also something important to fashion studies graduate joelle olabode. “I would like to leave a legacy of teamwork, collaboration, love, unity and family.”
for future plans, oladobe was excited to open new doors for herself and her career.
“i’m excited about ending school, i’m excited about going on,” oladobe said. “I’m excited about the next opportunities and the doors that got to open for me.”
fashion merchandising graduates giovanna domma and lara delanie york said their time at the college flew by but finally graduating felt amazing.
“i’m a transfer student so i was only here for two years, so being able to graduate from here is really amazing,” york said.
york said that her time at the college helped her break out of her shell.
“you have to really put yourself out there,” york said. “I’m a really shy person, but when you go to the events and actually go talk to people, you find a lot of amazing opportunities that you like.”
jennifer kemph received her master’s degree in arts management. She said covid-19 took away her undergraduate graduation so she was glad to be recognized during the morning ceremony.
karen kemph, parent of jennifer kemph, said she “couldn’t be prouder.”
she kept going, karen kemph said of her daughter. “She’s done this all on her own. She’s an adult living on her own, paying for this herself, she’s gone through all of it.”
kelsey edmond, creative writing graduate, said they’re most excited to make money after receiving their degree. Although excited for officially being done with school, edmond said “it’s scary, ‘cause now i’m in the real world, honey.”

‘you have not because you ask not‘
in his student commencement address, elisha dennard spoke about the challenges the 2025 graduating class has faced and overcome, explaining that these trials have “shaped who we are, and revealed just how resilient we can be.”
dennard, an arts management major, encouraged the students to take on the responsibility of creating a better world than the one they know now. “For us, leadership is more than just a title,” he said, “it’s about impact.”
he also challenged them to be unafraid of exposing the truth and to continue pursuing solutions that “challenge the status quo.”
“we now have hope, the opportunity, the responsibility to shape the world reflects our hopes instead of our fears,” dennard said. “The world isn’t just waiting, it’s calling. So let’s rise and make it better together.”
interim president and ceo jerry tarrer, presiding over his only commencement after stepping in last summer when kwang-wu kim stepped down, congratulated the graduates.
“we hope you go forward into your careers to apply what you have made in your heads along the end to help you take a more harmonious, a more humane, a more sustainable world,” tarrer said. “Apply these principles to your life as creators in your careers, in your jobs, in your businesses with the goal of making this world a better one for all human beings.”
twelve faculty earned the distinguished emeritus appointment for the first ceremony, which is awarded by the president to retired or retiring faculty to recognize their distinguished service to the school and students.
the first ceremony’s honorary degree recipient was alum marcos enrique “kosine” palacios, who graduated in 2006 with a degree in music business.
palacios shared his story of graduating after an extra “bonus year” as a columbia student and encouraged graduates to always ask, even if it may be pushing it.
“you have not because you ask not,” palacios said. “Sometimes rejection is just redirection, and the real blessing is building your own table with your friends and homies.”

‘we’re transitioning together’: columbia graduates celebrate community at 2025 commencement ceremony
as they lined up for the first of two commencement ceremonies on sunday, may 18, graduates reflected on their time at the college and what’s ahead.
“we’re all like transitioning to the next moment in life together,” said danny ramirez, a film and television major.
instead of multiple ceremonies over two days, columbia consolidated two ceremonies on a single day at a new venue, the credit union 1 arena on the campus of university of illinois chicago.
the first ceremony at 11 a.M. Was for graduates from the school of business and entrepreneurship, school of communication and culture, school of fashion and school of film and television.
this was the first graduation since columbia’s historic restructuring at the end of the last academic year.
graduating film and television majors cayla cramer and lauren mcclure lined up in the parking garage before their entrance into the arena on the campus of university of illinois chicago.
cramer is a first-generation college graduate from their family.
“it’s scary,” cramer said. “I’m just so nervous, but it’s kind of like a grieving period as well because i feel like such a different person, but it’s great.”
madison heiderscheit, a graduating film and television major, said her four years at the college “went by insanely fast.”
“i still feel like i have two years left,” heiderscheit said.
fashion studies major savannah applewhite said she felt excited as she prepared for graduation.
“i literally went to school during covid, so i feel like making it to this day is just so humbling and blessed,” applewhite said.
isaiah mitchell, a writing for television in business major, said that community was his biggest takeaway.
“so many lifelong connections i’ve made here that i’m gonna be happy that i have 10, 15, 20 years down the road for sure.”
fashion studies major lorena castro said she felt “ready to kind of close off a chapter that was big for our lives.”
vanisa oupokin, a fashion studies major, said that the best thing she got from her time in columbia was also community.
“just like being in a community of creatives who appreciate other creatives is like one of the most warm feelings that you could feel.”
fashion studies major jessica ochoa, said the ceremony was a good way to end her time at columbia.
“during high school and middle school i was very shy and i wouldn’t want to go out of my comfort zone,” she said. “Coming to columbia kind of pushed me to get out of my shell and just become the person that i am today.”
ochoa said that she was both excited and nervous to be graduating today.
“it’s a little bittersweet just because we’ve had a routine for four years going to school,” she said. “Going out into the world and finding a job that gives us the same satisfaction is a little difficult during these times.”
melissa dominguez, a fashion studies major, said she felt like the four years went by quickly. Though she started out pursuing product development, dominguez decided to switch to fashion merchandising and felt much more comfortable.
she explained that her time at columbia was really about finding her place. “It was a challenge that took me some time to figure out,” she said.
film and tv major siobhan walsh, said it was a long journey to make it to this point. “It feels very surreal,” she said.
walsh said she was proud of becoming more social since transferring to columbia two years ago. “Really just the people you meet here are an accomplishment itself,” she said.
international student from the bahamas, ashley smith, is graduating with an interdisciplinary degree in interior architecture and fashion marketing and management.
“it’s just been a lot of struggles being an international student,” she said. “I feel like just reaching this point is a big thing for me.”
smith said that her five years spent in chicago have been “exciting” and “interesting,” but that she’s looking forward to gaining more experience in her career field after graduation.
faculty from the four schools led graduates into the arena. They were followed by the stage party of administrators and speakers. Incoming president and ceo shantay bolton, who starts july 1, was part of the procession. The mace was carried by faculty senate secretary and associate professor in the school of film and television ted hardin, leading the student procession into the auditorium.
as he walked by, senior associate provost and associate professor of music nathan bakkum, pulled jeff spitz, associate professor in the school of film and television, onto the stage from the faculty section. This year is spitz’s last commencement. Spitz is one of the five documented faculty who were laid off due to budget cuts. He was bestowed with the emeritus title in honor of his 23 years of teaching at the college.
beth ryan, professor of instruction in the school of business and entrepreneurship, began the ceremony by recognizing awards and milestones from each school, followed by a video project from manifest on friday, may 16.
music business major, uriel blunt, created the music that was the backtrack to this video, and also had the chance to perform at the manifest arts festival on friday, may 16. He said that it was one of his “all time highlights” of his time at columbia.
blunt said that “it’s a blessing” to be graduating today. “Looking back at all the experience we gain and the connections, it’s ultimately surreal,” he said.
he said he hoped that his accomplishments leave a legacy of being a hardworking and resilient student to encourage the next generation of students to persevere despite the challenges they may face.

| Egg drop challenge launches egg-cellent questions | Coastal Review |
| Posted on Tuesday, May 20 @ 00:00:14 PDT (0 reads) | |
|
|
We’ve all heard the saying, “don’t put all your eggs in one basket,” and there’s a very good reason for the axiom, especially if you happen to drop the basket. Photo: heidi skinner never having been much of a science experiment fan — unless it was experimenting with reading different science fiction authors, — i’ve never heard of, much less participated in what seems to be a fairly challenge in common science, technology, engineering and math, or stem, and the regular classroom.
for the “egg drop challenge,” goal is to drop an egg without cracking it using various means such as cotton, sand, or other soft materials to cushion the egg.
but what if you want to deliberately skew the test in order to crack the egg?
according to a paper by massachusetts institute of technology, or mit, students? Authors? Professors? The summation of the article isn’t clear on this point, but any who… they’re at mit, so they must be smarter than the average bear, right?
tal cohen, hudson borja da rocha and s. Kiana naghibzadeh spent a lot of time dropping eggs from different heights.
while it sounds like a rooftop frat-boy prank perpetuated on unsuspecting passersby, these folks were serious. Using a lot of scientific equipment and a ton of equations, they carried out their dastardly deed.
to be fair, they only dropped the eggs — 60 at each height — from 8, 9 and 10 millimeters. So … 5/16 of an inch. Almost 7/16 of an inch. Just over 3/8 of an inch. Barely any height at all!
why didn’t they do a really fun experiment and see how long it takes an egg to scream when dropped off the eiffel tower? Or the empire state building? Or the side of the grand canyon?
kind of wondering how much of a grant they got to do this. I mean, eggs are expensive. I can hear my parents and grandparents right now ranting about crazy people wasting good eggs on such foolishness. “Must’a been some of those high falutin’ college kids with more book larnin’ than common sense!” For some reason i’m hearing this in granny’s voice from the “beverly hillbillies.”
pretty sure i could most certainly be persuaded to drop a lot of eggs for not a lot of money. Apologies to my parents and grands and all the hardworking hens out there. Although, i’ve dropped quite a few eggs over my lifetime for no money, and i can 100% tell you that they break.
whether they’re dropped on grass, on the floor, on the kitchen counter, height doesn’t seem to matter either. I’ve bobbled eggs taking them out of nest boxes and cartons. I’ve fumbled them off the counter trying to get them ready to cook. Once i even lost my grip on a full egg bucket. It slammed down like a parachute-less space shuttle recovery pod landing in the ocean. I can swear for a certainty, every single one of those eggs shattered.
have you ever played the hardboiled egg game at easter? Where opponents each hold an egg, pointed end toward their opponent, and then they smash their eggs together? Some eggs crumple at the first bit of contact. Some can go round after round before succumbing to the inevitable.
i mean, when people intentionally crack eggs, they aim for the middle of the long side. Is that because it cracks easier? Thousands of years of ingrained habit? Or is it because it’s darn hard to crack the pointed end of the egg and still be able to extract the contents without filling your now freed egg with bits of shell?
not only did this distinguished crowd from mit drop eggs from different heights so they landed on their sides, they then repeated the experiment by dropping the eggs point down. Some fat end down, and some narrower end down. Neither end made any difference in whether the eggs survived or not.
more than just a delicious and nutritious breakfast, eggs are the perfect food encapsulated in a fragile yet remarkably resilient shell. Photo: heidi skinner calm down, granny! I didn’t personally have anything to do with this travesty. (I imagine granny brandishing her broom and banging pans around while muttering imprecations about jethro’s lack of good sense.)
their educated “eggdicator” conclusion: eggs that landed on their side needed to be dropped from a higher starting point in order to make them crack. Eggs dropped pointed end down cracked at lower starting point.
as far as i can tell, their theory is thus: the longer side of the egg has more give, thus dispersing the impact over a larger area whereas the pointed end is stiffer when compressed. Kind of the way an arch equals out pressure better than a flat surface.
but enquiring minds need to know more about the “eggs-speriment.”
the eggs were purchased at costco, so would using farm-fresh eggs have made a difference? How old were the laying hens? Were they “spring chickens” or miss prissy?
the older a hen gets — somewhere around 18 months to 2 years old — the less eggs she lays and the thinner her egg shells become, which is why people used to buy or hatch new hens every spring. Hence the term, “spring chicken” used to describe something in the prime of its life.
while we’re on the subject of age, how old were the eggs? Were they fresh or months old? Somewhere in between? As my daddy sagely advised me a long time ago, “best leave those floating goose eggs be.”
one has to wonder, no matter how smart people at mit are, just how knowledgeable are they about eggs?
i mean, while the term “egghead” might be applicable in this instance, i keep getting a mental snapshot of miss prissy’s only son, egghead jr., Scribbling advanced mathematical theorems but unable to play ball.
really, really smart, but at the same time single-minded to the point of blindness. Or maybe looney tunes’ henery hawk, the loudly obnoxious and totally oblivious fledgling chickenhawk who knows he’s supposed to eat chickens but has no idea what a chicken actually is.
all joking aside, kudos to the mit crowd. What seems to be a useless waste of time and food is actually a vital experiment in improving insights into varied applications. For instance, improving the design of safety equipment or improving the strength of buildings. |

| HALTER AND MEDEMA EMERGE VICTORIOUS: ASISU ELECTION RESULTS - The Bengal |
| Posted on Tuesday, May 20 @ 00:00:14 PDT (0 reads) | |
|
|
Hadley bodell
editor in chief
everyone involved with the student government at isu can finally breathe a sigh of relief as the results of the election were officially announced on friday, march 21st. Each college receives two seats in the senate, meaning the two candidates with the most votes win. However, the most highly anticipated election was the executive ticket for the presidency and vice presidency.
in the weeks leading up to the election, both the bengals den party and the bengal spirit party made valiant efforts to persuade voters with their campaigns. Presidential candidate franklin spicer and his vice, gracie funk, used their social media presence to promote their party. Videos played on the student union building tvs and isu students received emails all throughout march urging them to vote.
students could vote online through the myisu portal for their respective college senators, while every student was eligible to vote on the executive ticket. The official election results brief, posted by asisu on instagram, cited 1,644 total voters. This was a typo, as the asisu elections commission told us it was supposed to be “votes.”
once voting closed on march 21st, the elections commission counted the votes. The group comprised elections commissioner kyle price, asisu deputy election commissioner josh mccubbin, current asisu secretary eliana madison, and dean of students matt daily.
members of the elections commission confirmed that while they did a physical count to verify the election results, the initial counting was digitally completed by the it department. They received the data after it had gone through it in a closed system only they had access to. This process ensured no technological error or human error occurred.
the bengal spirit party now has more seats in the senate, winning 8 out of the 14 seats. The college of technology is the only college with both seats going to members of the bengals den party: krissy feitas and hannah van metre.
colleges like the college of science and engineering voted in two members of the bengal spirit party: diya pandey and saugat acharya, as well as the senatorial seats for health professions going to aidan hall and prajakta sharma.
the presidential win went to the bengal spirit party: sky halter and charles medema with a whopping 410 votes. The opposing party garnered 285 votes. While these results weren’t a slim margin, this didn’t stop the bengals den party from speaking up.
price had already signed the verification of the 2025 election results when members of the bengals den party began contacting the commission, claiming the results were invalid.
over the week of isu’s spring break, march 24-28, members of the elections commission tell us that spicer contacted them over email requesting a recount. He claimed the voting numbers raised many concerns, considering the amount of time their team put into campaigning and the suspiciously low number of executive votes.
this isn’t the first time a losing party has contested the results. In fact, spicer told us the past several elections have been contested. The isu elections commission handbook states that the elections commission is allowed to determine if there was an issue with the counting, only then would a recount be conducted. In this case, the commission determined no issue was present.
“i expressed concerns and pushed for a recount because out of the reported 1,644 voters, only 695 actually voted for the executive ticket,” said spicer. “On the surface, it doesn’t make sense that less than 50% of the people who supposedly turned out actually cast a vote for it; it felt like not all the votes were counted.”
spicer expressed his gratitude for being able to run such an active campaign and for the success of his senators.
the losing party also believed halter and his party utilized the asisu booking account to reserve tables and rooms for campaign-related events during the voting week. While use of this account would give one party an unfair advantage, nothing of the sort occurred.
the elections commission gave a lengthy response detailing the error-proof voting and counting process. A screenshot of the total votes was included for spicer to review.
other winners included paige little and silas smith for the college of education, rakesh itani and farhana hibbert for graduate studies, cj lopez and robert saunders for the college of business, and denis arturo vargas barvosa and bryson king for the college of arts and letters.
now, halter and medema look forward to making a difference at isu as president and vice president of asisu.
“i’m working on getting easier club access for new students and easier promotion of clubs/events for club executives with a new dedicated isu clubs website,” said halter, a sophomore marketing student minoring in journalism.
he also hopes to create greater bengal spirit throughout isu, exhibited at sports games by hosting spirit weeks and encouraging greater department collaboration. The bengal spirit party also has goals to cultivate a campus where asisu is supporting the students, not becoming their enemy. The stigma around asisu has existed for years, but halter and medema are committed to maximizing their resources so the student government is at the forefront of student life.
“i am so excited and grateful to have won this election, and [i] am very happy to have the opportunity to serve every bengal here at isu.” |

| Mentorship at Georgia Center Opens Doors in Hospitality Program - Athens CEO |

Mentorship at georgia center opens doors in hospitality program
tuesday, may 20th, 2025
emily or began her freshman year at the university of georgia as a classics major, with thoughts of law school in her future. Then she discovered the hospitality and food industry management (hfim) program, and her plans quickly changed.
“i realized i really didn’t want to go to law school, i didn’t want to be a lawyer,” says or, a junior from atlanta who will complete a required internship at the uga center for continuing education & hotel in may. One of nine paid hfim interns at the georgia center this semester, she was one of the first students to have a mentor from the center’s staff to guide and encourage her as she learned on the job.
“this internship was my first experience in the sales and event sector of the hospitality industry, and i encountered many terms and abbreviations that i didn’t understand,” says or, whose mentor is ashley moore, a senior event coordinator. “Ashley was very helpful and patient whenever i had questions about banquet event orders, set-up logistics and other things.”
the georgia center, a full-service hotel and conference center with two restaurants, banquet service, auditoriums and meeting rooms, is often hfim students’ first introduction to all aspects of the hospitality industry. The hfim degree is housed in the college of agricultural and environmental sciences, but students in the program get most of their hands-on education, and take some classes, at the georgia center.
kt cooke, director of sales and event management, oversees the hfim internship program, through which georgia center employees are paired as mentors to student interns assigned to their departments. Interns begin the semester by shadowing their mentors, meeting new colleagues and becoming familiar with the hotel conference center.
mentors and their mentees are expected to check in with each other at least once a month to discuss any questions and concerns, compare their work experience to their future career goals and provide encouragement.
“these mentors play a crucial role in guiding interns through their internship experience, helping them bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world application,” cooke says. “At the georgia center, we want our interns to feel seen, heard, and supported.”
even on the busiest days, intern emily frank says her mentor, senior event coordinator jenny carrico, is approachable, patient and genuinely willing to help.
“she encouraged me to ask questions and take on new responsibilities, and that helped me feel more confident in what i was doing,” says frank, a junior from miami beach, florida. “Knowing i had that support made it easier to learn and feel comfortable in a professional environment.”
“it has really been rewarding to see the interns develop their strengths,” carrico says. “They become more confident.”
the students’ experience working in an on-campus, full-service hotel and conference center prepares them for external internships and full-time jobs, often with prestigious companies.
this summer, frank will intern at sea island resort on the georgia coast, serving as a hostess and a supervisor-in-training.
her internship in event planning at uga has heightened her attention to detail, something she will need working at sea island, a forbes five-star luxury resort. A key part of her internship this spring at the georgia center was making sure that rooms were prepared and breaks and meals were served on time so that conference attendees didn’t get off schedule.
“i’m really big on organization and communication,” frank says. “This has definitely given me a lot of experience.”
in addition to the practical experience, the students learn a lot by observing their mentors and getting to know them. During the semester, or said she learned how moore applies the lessons and contacts from her education both to her role planning events for vip clients and to her life.
“she taught me how she balances work responsibilities with her life outside the office,” or says, “which encouraged me to reflect on how i want to achieve my own work-life balance in the future.”
this summer or has an internship in catering and event planning at a golf club in egg harbor, a popular door county, wisconsin, summer tourist area. The experience she’ll have there, helping with weddings, receptions and other social events, will build on what she’s learned at uga helping with conferences and corporate meetings, she says.
“i think, ultimately, i want to stay in hotels,” or says. “But it’s important for me to get a lot of experience in hospitality.”
“i want to try everything, and we’ll see.”
as one of the first mentors to an hfim intern, moore discovered that mentorship is a two-way street. She also grew through the program and gained a better understanding of the hfim program which helped expand her view of her role as an event planner at the georgia center.
“i learned a lot about our internship program in general,” she said. “And have gotten good ideas from the students and feedback for ways to continue to improve the internship experience.” |

Sam alex hosts the nationally syndicated chicago -based “the sam alex show.” Alex went out on his own with the show after five and a half years of hosting “taste of country nights” for townsquare media. In addition to the show, alex is the founder and director of camp broadcast. He has appeared as himself in an episode of abc-tv’s “nashville” and has been a guest announcer at the grand ole opry. “The sam alex show” is available for any daypart and provides content while allowing affiliates to program their own music. “I’ve learned over the years that programmers like having control of their playlists,” said alex. “That’s why the breaks for my show are content-only. I’m not back or front selling the song, just giving good content with country music news, pop culture news, birthday anniversary, shout outs and messages i get on my verified instagram page and so on.” Alex is very hands-on with affiliates and believes that constant communication is essential. “I get people are busy, but with that said, the stations where we really do well with “the sam alex show” are the ones i’m in constant communication with. They’re giving me local liners or local breaks to talk about. The local events happening, giveaways, the high school football, high school baseball games, basketball games, and then all the new music and having me do local breaks as well.” During his “taste of country nights” time, alex was based in nashville from a music row studio. But in the back of his mind, he wanted to move back home to chicago and make the leap to being his own boss. “I always knew i wanted to move back home and raise my kids with my family, by my parents, sister, aunts, uncles, cousins, and childhood friends. Then, talking with my musician friends, they reminded me that even though they were signed to warner or big loud or whatever record label, they’re not the boss. The musicians are entrepreneurs; they’re their own boss.” “They reminded me, sam, you’re in control of your destiny. Eventually, you should start up your own thing so you can call the shots and make your own schedule. Host the show from where you want, from the award shows, festivals and local stations that you want to be active at and so on. I always knew i wanted to do that.” Alex is pretty much a one-man band when it comes to all aspects of the show. “I’m not represented by a big company or on the major companies. I’ve always had the attitude of being the underdog. I’ve always loved treating people the same, whether they were a brand-new artist or someone with 29 hits on a major label.” In addition to all his other responsibilities, alex is the founder and director of camp broadcast, which was established during the covid-19 pandemic. “Camp broadcast started when covid happened, because i felt so bad that so many in-person summer camps were canceled for campers and college students to be counselors. I was a camper and a counselor when i was younger. And then markets of all sizes and radio weren’t hiring because of covid. That’s when i had the idea, and it was like eight one-week classes that first summer, all on zoom because of covid.” “The cool thing was we had students from around the country and the world who were mostly likely recent high school grads majoring in broadcasting or wanted to work in radio or tv. Also, college students and some recent grads, too. Then, the coolest thing was that we had a different celebrity guest every day, and the students got to interview on our virtual red carpets. And every day, they have a different expert guest speaker.” “It’s kind of like an internship on steroids. The today show and good morning america both have done a six-minute-long feature on the camp, which is amazing. All the media outlets in chicago, the tv and radio stations, are big-time supporters, and the illinois broadcasters association is one of our title sponsors. It has been very rewarding.” Camp broadcast students and alumni produce an annual guitar pull called “hoosier country jam,” which is held every spring in bloomington, indiana. Previous artists include collin raye, darryl worley, michael ray, mason ramsey, drew baldridge & many more. Students get to interview the artists and be the emcees for the concert. Hosting the show and other high-profile events has led to some bucket list-type events, including guest announcing at the grand ole opry. “The first time i debuted as a guest announcer on the opry, i was just hanging backstage. I had my own dressing room and my childhood best friend with me, who doesn’t work in the industry but lives in new york.” “I’ve been taking him to music festivals, so i’ve converted him. He’s a huge country music fan now, but didn’t know much before. I’d go to the other dressing room with vince gill and trace adkins and hang out. And then i got to introduce trace. He was walking on stage, shaking my hand, giving me the wink. That was the second moment in my career where i felt like i made it.” Alex comes from a family of math teachers, and while he says he is not good with math, teaching was his backup plan, which led to alex teaching and paying it forward. “I originally majored in education, in special education, which was always the backup plan. Even though you’re always show-prepping, working 24/7, i was doing mornings and done at noon, i would volunteer at different schools, or i would help out at the after-school programs. I coached middle school wrestling for a couple of years. I was always involved in the schools and just loved paying it forward.” Alex has been a: 2023 – cma broadcast awards finalist for daily national broadcast personality of the year. 2022 – cma broadcast awards finalist for daily national broadcast personality of the year. 2016 – acm broadcast awards finalist for national on-air personality of the year.
