School can teach you many things, but it cannot teach you who you are. You yourself must do that. This is not to say that our professors and the university as a whole are unable to teach us worthwhile information, but rather that the education that we receive within the boundaries of our classes cannot be the primary force in our process of learning — and hopefully becoming — who we are.
Before the coronavirus shut down the U.S. in March, University of Portland's senior outfielder Travis Turney's days were spent going to class, doing homework, playing games and recovering from a hard day's work.
As the end of fall semester draws near and COVID-19 cases spike across Oregon and nationwide, students in the Portland area are being forced to decide between staying where they are or breaking quarantine by returning to their families for Thanksgiving.
Here we are, stuck in our homes yet again, staring at our screens as we merely cross days off the calendar, hoping our way of life may return to how it once was. The Chicago Tribune put it best in a tweet that was truly ahead of its time, reminding us that while we work quickly and diligently, “the slow trudge towards mortality continues unabated.” We cannot physically escape it; “the specter of death [...] remains a constant [on the horizon] —today, next week, forever.” It is this paradoxical permanence, this utter waste of the prime years of my life that I will never get back, that I loathe.
UP students in the University Park area have reported being followed in recent weeks by a black BMW sedan, and are warning other Pilots to keep their eyes open and stay alert.
Temporary salary reductions imposed this fall by the University of Portland will be cancelled due to a partial reopening expected in the spring. This was announced in an email sent by Interim Vice President for Financial Affairs Eric Barger on Nov. 17 to faculty, staff and students. These pay cuts will be lifted on Jan. 1, but senior leaders of the University have agreed to continued reductions in their pay, which were set at 15%-20% depending on position.
This Saturday, the Campus Program Board (CPB) is hosting a virtual concert series featuring artists Kingsley, Reva Devito and Lennon Stella.
The International Club (I-Club) is known best for the events held during the annual International Education Week (IEW), and while this year might look different than years past, the events are just as interactive.
Wow. Chapter 11 of The Mandalorian blew me away. I watched the whole thing with the biggest smile on my face and immediately rewatched it at least four more times. There’s so much to gush about and so much to speculate on. Major spoilers ahead!
University lifestyle is stressful to begin with. College students have faced a growing epidemic of depression and anxiety for years, attributed to a perfect storm of circumstances — the loneliness of leaving home and searching for a support group, financial debt, the uptick of high risk behaviors like binge drinking and substance abuse, and feeling exorbitant amounts of pressure to not only survive but flourish in their classes, extracurriculars, and jobs. Factor in a global pandemic, the forced enrollment in Zoom university and an economy that’s wavering at the precipice of a recession, and this semester may be more than college students are willing to put themselves through.
When talking about the whole country coming to a screeching halt in March, my friends refer to it as “back in quarantine.” They are talking about March, April and May, when the stay-at-home orders went into effect.
Think back to the last time you logged on to your favorite online news publication.
Regions of University Park and the University of Portland were without power for most of the day and had power restored at around 5:00 p.m. The Portland General Electric website at first attributed the outages in the 97203 area code to a vehicle accident, but now says there are multiple causes. They originally estimated that the power would be back by 10:30 p.m. tonight.
As an immunocompromised person, this pandemic has been incredibly taxing on my mental health, but not for the reasons you might think. Yes, staying home all the time can be a bit boring, but thankfully since March, I have had the company of my housemates who all also go to UP. The reason it has been so deeply stressful is because throughout this time, I have been terrified that I was going to die.
When people look back at the U.S. presidential election of 2020, there will be many reasons it stands out. There’s the record-breaking voter turnout. Key battleground states flipping to blue. The four days of anxious waiting for an official announcement. Joe Biden passing 270 electoral college votes, making him the next president of the United States with Kamala Harris as his vice president, the first woman and woman of color to hold the position.
On paper, junior Nick Hinson’s daily routine might not look very different from a normal school year — except that it takes place in its entirety within 173 square feet: his solitary Schoenfeldt double. He leaves this (very familiar) space only to get grab-and-go food from the Commons, or to work out at the gym, his hands washed and mask handy. And then, back to his room for a full day of classes.
When I was in the seventh grade, my English teacher told me that I had a gift for writing, and said that I was the most talented student she had ever seen in her 26 years of teaching. She said my writing was so phenomenal, so absolutely perfect, that she had submitted one of my essays to The Atlantic. Later that year, they published my essay.
After the exciting surprise character reveal at the end of last week’s episode that had my jaw on the floor, I went into Chapter 10 of The Mandalorian, “The Passenger”, with probably a bit too much anticipation and came out feeling underwhelmed. This episode didn’t acknowledge the cliffhanger of last week and dove into a new adventure.
The NCAA has selected Portland to host the 2024 Women’s Basketball Regional and 2026 Men’s Basketball First and Second Rounds, falling short of their goal to host the 2025 or 2026 NCAA women’s Final Four.
