It’s 7:30 a.m. on my first day. The sun is bright, I can see the ocean from my bed, and I am warm. I think this is what people call ‘pure bliss.’ I want to run around and yell and be all disgracefully excited, but the other workers seem accustomed to this luxury, so I act like it’s no big deal.
My first time going to see an artist live was at a baile, which is a concert and a dance where they typically play regional Mexican music. It’s one thing to listen to the songs on Spotify — but it was entirely different getting to see the grupos, or groups, perform live. Hearing the sound of the instruments, the trumpets, the guitars, and the singer’s vocals sounding exactly the same live, all while being able to dance… it was a sick first concert.

UP’s class of 2022,
By the end of four years of classes, labs and lectures in the Shiley School of Engineering, most engineering students have spent countless hours acquiring skills to one day apply to real problems.
As the school year comes to an end, students are fully engulfed in school work and final projects. While this time might be dreadful for some, for a certain group of students it will be an opportunity to show the UP community their extensive research projects that they have worked on all year long with the Public Research Fellows (PRF).
Dear readers,
Last Saturday night I saw the Colorado Symphony Orchestra perform Gustav Mahler’s 2nd Symphony. The epic piece ended with a booming finale, gongs clashing and sopranos spinning high B flats. The second the conductor lowered his baton, an audience member yelled “Bravo!,” the full concert hall jumped to their feet for a standing ovation, and I began to tear up.
How did you all spend your spring break? Some of you might have gone to Cabo, stayed on campus, or gone home to see family and loved ones. On the other hand, I had the most unique spring break that, If you asked me three years ago, I could never have seen myself doing. Along with nine other students, our professor Jeff Kersen Griep, and his wife Emily, I traveled to Belfast, Northern Ireland: a place that has been the center of intercultural conflict for generations, a place of sectarianism and division, and a place of modernization, healing, and progress. Throughout this trip, I learned more about myself, the world around me, and how I can use the lessons learned in Belfast in my future career path.

Women’s soccer finished their off-season play with a win. Men’s soccer traveled to Corvallis to take on Portland State in their second to last game of the spring season.

With the United States Men’s Soccer team qualifying for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, a buzz of excitement and passion has rippled through the U.S. Soccer fanbase. Finally, we are back in the men’s tournament! But as thrilling as this may be for U.S. soccer fans, there are many fine details throughout the U.S. men’s program that should be closely examined so we don’t just barely squeak through qualifying again. The U.S. has made soccer recruiting too focused on the stereotypical American athlete, creating a gap in the level of play between the U.S. and other countries around the world.
If we haven’t met, my name is Mary. I also go my Mar (“Mair”), and my pronouns are they/them and she/her. I am the Hall Director of Fields Hall and former Assistant Hall Director of Lund Family and Mehling Hall.
