In South Florida, these new costs are coupled with a steep increase in housing prices. University of Miami students are feeling the implications of this drastic change. Economists say that the striking rise in housing prices can be attributed to the combination of a wide variety of social and economic factors. Parmeter said that the city’s rising tech industry is also contributing to the rising cost of housing in Miami. Students say that the rising cost of housing combined with UM’s current housing shortage have negatively affected their plans for the fall 2022 semester.

On Friday May 13, 2022, University of Miami students will take the stage at the annual Spring Commencement Ceremony for the culmination of their career at the university. The ceremony begins at 8:30 a.m with students from the College of Arts and Sciences. The Watsco Center served as the traditional venue for commencement for years before the pandemic forced a change in routine.

The Watsco Center is conveniently located on campus and has a capacity of 8,000.

After much anticipation and delay, construction on the University of Miami’s $335 million Centennial Village housing project is just a few weeks away. “Centennial Village will transform both our campus landscape and the student experience,” said Patricia Whitely, senior vice president for student affairs, in an interview with News@theU. This coupled with the loss of 850 student housing spots from the demolition of Hecht Residential College has made it difficult to find affordable housing near UM. “Housing and Residential Life staff have been working diligently to try to accommodate housing needs for all students who were approved for University housing. “I will live without getting to experience Centennial Village.

DJs performed on a booth displaying LED graphics surrounded by speakers turned to over 90 decibels. “Probably the best college show as far as production.”For the few senior DJs, it was the best set they’ve performed on. Regardless, the festival still provided an opportunity for lovers of EDM to come together and share in the experience. EQ Collective members and concert goers also noted that the festival was an opportunity to unwind before truly beginning studying. Matousek and Green personally thanked Hurricane Productions, SAFAC and their advisor for their assistance in preparing the festival.

“Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome” to the UM student production of “Cabaret” at the Jerry Herman Ring Theater! And finally, I couldn’t talk about standout performances without mentioning Miss Sally Bowles, played by Jenna Hochkammer. Hochkammer captured the spirit of Sally Bowles to the T, and her most impressive achievement was that she didn’t over-act. This did not, however, detract from the show, so in the words of Fraulein Schneider, “Who cares? So what?”In all, the production of “Cabaret” was horrifyingly moving, hauntingly beautiful, and tragically, well, cabaret.

The catchy phrase, “Oh Yeah, Hecht Yeah,” Hecht Residential College’s famous chant, will soon be but a memory as students, staff and alumni say farewell to the iconic 12-story tower. While the news of Centennial Village has been in circulation since 2019, many are still shocked that Hecht is the first tower to leave. Residential colleges one and two, along with the dining hall are set to open in August 2024, whereas three, four and five will open in August 2026To staff and students, Hecht’s farewell is emotional. Senior Taylor Rose said she hopes that Centennial Village will honor Hecht in some way. “I will miss hearing ‘Hecht Yeah,’ ‘Power Tower’ and ‘Money Tower’ and the Hecht vibes.

The DJs bring a variety of styles including Reggaeton, 2010 “club bangers,” Latin music, hip hop and experimental bass along with the conventional EDM varieties. “We’re taking our inspiration from festivals like EDC,” said Devon Green, vice president and social chair of EQ Collective. Last year was EQ Collective’s first festival at UM, but COVID-19 restrictions prevented the festival from reaching its full potential. In the spirit of healthy competition, EQ Collective wants to put on the best festival possible. “If you had a good time at Ultra, this is going to be Ultra part two on UM’s campus.

Subcontracted campus workers staged a protest last Tuesday demanding better treatment from ABM Industries, a major employer of the people who help make the University of Miami function. But if you expected a response to the workers’ demands from UM’s administration, you’d still be waiting. Without support from administration, subcontracted employees fear for themselves in speaking out. They keep our campus as functional and visually appealing as it is, something that the university promotes and capitalizes on. Instead of shrugging responsibility, there are things administration, students and faculty could all do to support the university’s subcontracted workers in their fight for what they deserve as workers.

As nationwide discussion on masking and safety measures begins to heat up once again, Philadelphia became the first major city to reinstate its indoor mask mandate on Monday, April 11. According to John Hopkins University, the week of April 13 saw a 44% increase from the week prior in the average number of COVID-19 cases reported nationally. Health professionals point to the COVID-19 variant, BA.2, the relaxation of COVID-19 precautions and waning immunity across the country for the spike in cases. At this point, UM has no intentions of reinstating the indoor mask mandate. “At this time, there are no plans to consider any changes to indoor mask mandates.

The University of Miami’s It’s On Us chapter hosted a series of events facilitating conversations on sexual assault through their recent Spring Week of Action, engaging students with games, giveaways and interactive activities designed to raise awareness on campus. It’s important that we know about every group.”Wednesday, in the spirit of Wellness Wednesday, saw students discuss the effects of sexual assault on mental health. The topic was communicated through games of “Two Truths and One Lie,” where students could learn hard facts about the effects of sexual assault. The week culminated with Friday’s Take Back the Night, where survivors of sexual assault, sexual misconduct or other traumatic events shared their stories in a supportive environment and safe space. Sexual assault is pervasive on college campuses.

Shortly upon deciding to leave The Weather Channel as its on-air Hurricane Specialist and Storm Surge Expert at the end of 2016, I received a phone call from Bill Pohovey, the long-time vice president and news director at WPLG – Miami’s local ABC affiliate. Having been a one-time resident of Miami, I knew the station letters well. I also knew its team of meteorologists, including Chief Certified Meteorologist Betty Davis, also a Weather Channel alum, and its resident Hurricane Specialist Max Mayfield, a colleague, friend, and former National Hurricane Center Director. I don’t remember the details of our conversation – it was brief – though I do remember the impression it left. This local station knew its niche – hurricanes – and it had a plan to not only cover them best, but to cover them better than the rest. The timing for me, though, didn’t quite fit.

That is the distance from the University of Miami to transfer defensive lineman Jacob Lichtenstein’s previous school, the University of Southern California. “Being in California, at USC, my family [and] all my resources, I didn’t have them,” Lichtenstein said. Lichtenstein’s spring-football success was exhibited at Miami’s spring game. Also for Lichtenstein, Saturday’s spring game brought upon his first opportunity to wear a uniform that had his last name displayed across the back of it. “I’ve never played with my last name on my back, so I felt a lot of pride in that,” Lichtenstein said following Miami’s spring game.

“We are here to fight for our work to be fair and to stop overworking us,” protestor Olga Mendoza said. “When workers leave, they don’t fill the vacancies,” said Mars Fernandez, a graduate student studying counseling psychology. Protesters said they believe that ABM is pocketing the wage money of the staff they are not hiring for their own benefit. “I am sure that ABM has the money given by the university to hire workers but doesn’t use it for that,” Marlene Trejos, ABM janitor said. The issue of understaffing was noticed amid the pandemic, when the janitorial staff was classified as “essential workers” because ABM and UM were desperate to have them clean their campus.

UM students made clear their affection for the Miami-icon with whooping cheers, flags, posters and even dressing in bald caps and the artist’s iconic sun-glasses. “Miami has that attraction that the rest of the world doesn’t have, especially through music,” Pitbull said. It unites, it doesn’t divide, so that is what I try to do through the music,” Pitbull said. During breaks between classes, Pitbull would freestyle rap for his peers in the hallways of his high school.

University of Miami-based start-up company, UniHop is looking to revolutionize delivery on college campuses. UniHop was founded last year by UM sophomore Kyle Levy after he realized the need for a delivery service uniquely designed for and by college students. The company coins itself as a college campus logistics service and provides a plethora of delivery services including parcel delivery, same-day shopping and delivery and special occasion packages, such as brunch platters. Levy says UniHop distinguishes itself from similar services such as Instacart because customers can select the time they want their item delivered instead of selecting a two-hour window. “People and delivery are first, really focusing on making sure, you know, everything is personalized to what students want, what parents want, what everybody wants,” Levy said.

Conconcreto LLC and the University of Miami recently agreed to set up a research fund within the university’s School of Architecture backed by a by Conconcreto’s gift of $150,000 over the next three years.

Selected by the Butler Center for Service and Leadership, Katherine Fernandez Rundle has been the state attorney of Miami-Dade County since 1993, and is the first Cuban-American woman to hold the position. A collection of incidents, primarily involving her history of failing to prosecute law enforcement officers in situations involving deaths of victims, mar her career in the eyes of some. These are just two examples in a laundry list of incidents where the State Attorney has not prosecuted law enforcement. “The reason why we selected Katherine Fernandez Rundle was her background and her experiences, like becoming the first Cuban-American State Attorney,” said Symposium co-chair Esther Alexandre, a junior majoring in computer engineering. “Given that it is Women’s History Month and she is the first Cuban-American State Attorney and has held that position for over 30 years, we wanted to focus on highlighting our elected officials here in Miami-Dade,” said Mighty.

Within minutes of becoming available, all tickets for the highly anticipated “What Matters to U” event with singer Pitbull were sold out, leaving University of Miami students frustrated and disappointed. “I even set my alarm to make sure I got them.”Unlike hundreds of disgruntled UM students, Parks said she was fortunate to have secured a ticket. “I quite literally was on at noon and the site just simply wasn’t loading,” read one comment on the WMTU instagram page. Many students suggested opening the event up to the Watsco Center to house more student events, however the cost to hold an event at the Watsco Center is beyond the WMTU budget. “The event is being held in the largest venue on campus, aside from the Watsco Center,” the WMTU team announced over an Instagram story Tuesday afternoon.

However, the unchecked growth of VR technology could bring with it a litany of dangerous side effects. This lack of regulation also means that locations within the metaverse are extremely vitriolic — a quality that is amplified by the visual nature of virtual reality. Despite the immense potential for harm that the metaverse brings, it could bring clear benefits as a tool for teaching and community building. In the aforementioned class, VR technology is used to transport students to different geographical locations pertaining to the course’s subject matter. However, replacing real life with virtual reality has the potential to amplify the worst aspects of the internet, with real-world consequences.

The Women’s Network (TWN), a national collegiate networking organization for women is establishing a chapter on the University of Miami’s campus. TWN is one of many networking organizations on campus but is the first specifically for collegiate women. The women’s network was founded in 2017 by Syracuse University alumnus, Jamie Vinick, who was inspired to form the organization after attending a lecture from a powerful female banking executive. “I think that comparison kills and The Women’s Network does not believe in competition, we believe in building each other up,” Waschbusch said. “I think the capacity The Women’s Network has to be all over the country and still be so interconnected is what’s going to help us grow.”To lean more about TWN you can follow their instagram, @thewomensnetwork_umiami.

The Historic Hampton House will host “The Greatest Weekend,” Feb. 25-27, with films, entertainment and guest speakers who will reminisce about the boxer, his challenges and achievements.

The student-run coffee cart has been serving cold brew to UM students at its original Merrick location since 2019, and now it’s expanding to a second cart at Lakeside Village on Wed, Feb. 23. In anticipation of the launch, the UM Brewbike leadership team held a tabling event on Feb. 17 at the Mahoney-Pearson and Hecht-Stanford dining halls. According to Levy, new promotions will also come to the Lakeside location, including a partnership with a familiar brand to sponsor free coffee for a day in the near future. Early in 2020, the student-run cold brew business opened a second location at the Cox science building, but was shut down a week into its debut due to COVID-19. Alternatively, the UM Brewbike team served and delivered its signature cold brew to the Miami Marlins as a smooth transition into the Fall 2021 semester, according to Weed.

“It’s too far for our students to drive 40 minutes to the stadium.”The proposed stadium, called LifeWallet Stadium, would be a part of a bigger entity known as LifeWallet Park. Tropical Park in Olympia Heights, FL would be fully renovated to make way for this construction. Now, fourteen years later, the hopes of building a football stadium near UM may face similar challenges. “Tropical Park really provides a suitable location because we’re not just looking for a stadium,” Ruiz said. I am a University of Miami fan,” said Andy Dominguez, a father who has spent 30 years coming to Tropical Park.

Both the city and school are dealing with increased demand for housing and rising housing prices and in UM’s case, a lack of available housing. Starting last week, rising sophomores were given housing appointments to secure either an apartment or suite in Lakeside Village. “Everyone we have talked to is in the same situation.”Beyond the frustrations of not living on-campus, students who opt to move off-campus are also losing their on-campus deposits. “HRL received applications from more than 2,000 prioritized rising sophomores seeking to live in Lakeside Village,” Sobaram said. Spring 2022 admitted freshmen came to campus without on-campus housing.
