Students praise new mobile ordering at UM dining halls

When campus re-opened for the spring 2023 semester, UM students quickly discovered another change to UM dining: mobile ordering in the Hecht-Stanford and Mahoney-Pearson dining halls. Derek Hart, a sophomore majoring in English, thinks mobile ordering prevents long waits, which can be helpful for students in a hurry. Passante and Hart both agree that mobile ordering should have been introduced to campus dining halls earlier. Unlike the dining halls, not every dining option on campus offers mobile ordering. Some students think mobile ordering should be a widespread feature of dining options at UM.

Clad in white, Mrs. Earle, walked (or stumbled) down an aisle with the eyes of UM’s most impressionable upon her.

Miami MBB: key areas for improvement following its three-game road trip

Over the past week, the University of Miami men’s basketball team played three games on the road, dropping two of them. The road trip began with a close 68-66 loss in Cameron Indoor Stadium against the Duke Blue Devils on Jan. 21. The Hurricanes closed their three-game road trip with a visit to the Petersen Events Center on Saturday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Panthers. It is a great opportunity for Miami to regain the confidence it played with earlier in the year and bounce back from the tough road trip. Seeing that the two losses on the road trip came by a combined five points, just a handful of shots going Miami’s way would have greatly impacted those games.

Miami Athletics to Build New $100 Million Football Operations Center

On January 4th, the University of Miami athletic department announced their plans to build a brand new football operations center on campus next to the Herbert Wellness Center, and the news is already sparking controversy. Athletics hopes this new operations center will help elevate the Hurricanes football program and become instrumental in ensuring that the team can recruit and retain the very best football players. “To think a building will magically turn the program around is far-fetched.”Unlike some of the most recent developments on campus, the football operations center won’t grant full access to all students. Hurricanes Football’s new home will stand near the Herbert Wellness Center. There will be detours and routes to navigate the construction safely, and access to the Herbert Wellness Center will not be impacted,” Radakovich said.

Evidence emerges of ongoing SigEp events

Another anonymous sophomore shared that her friend had attended SigEp events as recently as Dec. 1 or Dec. 2. Given that SigEp is no longer an organization on campus, it is much more difficult to determine what constitutes a fraternity event. None of the fraternity’s events will have the “Registered Party” (RP) label, used to identify university-sanctioned Greek life events. However, there is no rule forbidding the former members of SigEp to gather casually, unless the gathering is under the SigEp name. The delineation between fraternity events, especially unregistered ones, and socializing is blurry, thus making it difficult to identify and punish any fraternity that chooses to operate “underground.”

The University of Miami men’s basketball team was defeated by the North Carolina State (NC State) Wolfpack on Saturday afternoon at PNC Arena.

Michael Lowry on his future as Local 10′s Hurricane Specialist, Storm Surge Expert

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.
