During April is one of the world’s largest literary celebrations, in which schools, libraries, publishers and poets contribute to and admire the art of poetry. During this month, nations are reminded of the rich history behind poetry and how it influenced politics and societies long ago. National Poetry Month is a nostalgic time of reflection, but it encourages writers to pick up their pens and create new masterpieces.

The first celebration began in 1996 and was organized by the Academy of American Poets. The Academy was inspired by the success of both Black History Month in February and Women’s History Month in March. They contacted multiple cities and organizations to put together this annual vision. Today the Academy still designs activities and events to help influence neighborhood projects to write poetry. They also publish different works sent in on their website throughout the month.

Poetry is a unique genre of writing for it can be as simple or as complex as the poet desires. Some poetry keeps order and follows the rules, while other poems follow no consistent patterns. The reason for this is simple: freedom. Poets express the perspective of their thoughts, emotions and even experiences and depict the movement of the times. Elements of time, space and rhythm may alter poetry for they express the consciousness of the heart. From confessional to musical poetry, each type carries an important message to the world.

The very first nominee to win Best Poet from the Academy by citizen vote was none other than the 1920s’ jazz poet Langston Hughes. Hughes was an African-American poet and the first to experiment with music incorporated in his poems. The Roaring Twenties was a lively and musical era of jazz, and Hughes believed his poems should mirror the age of which he was part. He was a strong supporter of simplicity and rhythm and used his surroundings and experiences to tell a profound story.

The Ethics and Standards of Journalism

by Hector Davila

For centuries journalism has undergone the test of time, having to endure difficulties, challenges and failures that have shaped the ethics and standards of journalism today.

TRUTHFULNESS

There has been a recent rise in fake news showing up all over social media and interfering with broadcast news reports. The public is becoming more unable to discern real news stories from fake ones. In 2016, many people confessed they shared a fake news report—some knowingly, some unknowingly. For example, the infamous Facebook controversy involving an algorithm supporting fake news articles and sites went out of control after the company decided to let go of several journalists from their news department. Germany takes the issue of fake news seriously, as the Washington Post explains: “Germany officially unveiled a landmark social-media bill…that could quickly turn this nation into a test case in the effort to combat the spread of fake news and hate speech in the West.” A journalist’s code of ethics includes a pledge to always seek truth and report this truth accurately to the public. This includes how an individual gathers and distributes information from sources. Clear interpretation and reliable sources contribute to a successful news story and avoid the issues of false claims or misleading statements.

RESPECT

Journalists are required to report information as simply and carefully as possible. In the U.S., multiple individuals and news outlets have faced charges of libel or slander. Libel is a published false statement that is damaging to a person’s reputation—a written defamation. Slander is a spoken, or oral, defamatory statement. When a person publicly speaks negatively about an individual in a way that inflicts significant harm to his or her reputation, the individual who has been spoken about has the right by law to sue for libel. The first U.S. Supreme Court case in which libel charges were successfully prosecuted was New York Times Co. v. Sullivan (1964). In this case, an advertisement with a written description in the Times falsely represented the Montgomery, Alabama police department and “action allegedly directed against students who participated in a civil rights demonstration and against a leader of the Civil Rights Movement.” The jury found that the First Amendment cannot be used in defense when a public official releases false claims to damage the reputation of someone with no “actual malice” or evidence. The Society of Professional Journalists’ (SPJ) Code of Ethics tells journalists to “recognize that legal access to information differs from an ethical justification to publish or broadcast.”

ABSENCE OF BIAS

The number one duty of the news media is to report accurately and fairly to every citizen. Bias is prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair. News outlets are expected to be unbiased when releasing information to the public. However, sometimes (secretly) they have a political and/or moral agenda. Overall it is absurd to believe that no one is biased when interpreting something from their own perspective, but the best way to minimize bias is by remaining true to the facts provided. An example of media bias can be seen in the interpretation of the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing. Western Journalism writes, “The media has for years claimed that convicted Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh was a ‘Christian terrorist.’ This is an absurd claim, though, because McVeigh did not perpetrate his crimes in the name of religion, nor was he a proselytizing Christian.”

INTEGRITY

In 2003, journalist Jayson Blair was caught for “plagiarism and fabricated facts in at least 36 articles.” According to the Huffington Post he worked at the New York Times for many years until an investigation confirmed that Blair “made up names, quotes and scenes for high-profile stories on Jessica Lynch, the families of other soldiers in Iraq and the 2002 sniper attacks.” Transparency is important in the field of journalism because reporters are expected to be completely open and honest with their audience. Holding on to moral values displays mature character for a journalist. The SPJ’s Code of Ethics explains it best, stating that a journalist should “explain ethical choices and processes to audiences. Encourage a civil dialogue with the public about journalistic practices, coverage and news content.” Following these basic requirements will keep journalists from trouble such as lawsuits and damaged reputations.

Inciting Change Through Investigative Journalism

by Nathaniel Hawes

A midst the daily torrent of political coverage and clickbait headlines, it can be difficult for us to see the sense of it all. Sometimes sensationalized and skewed, we have come to question the stories we read in the news, but it does not have to be this way. Many journalists are working hard to change laws, uncover corruption and spread awareness for various causes that are important for public knowledge through their investigative reporting. These are the stories that maintain the integrity of the field of journalism, and their results have led to positive change in communities across the globe. Many investigative journalists have exposed the unaddressed and often silent issues in our global society, from revealing inhumane conditions at Apple’s Chinese factories to uncovering cheating on standardized tests for the purpose of boosting school funding.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution spent three years relentlessly investigating and reporting on the pressures school administrators have placed on students to produce high test scores. They uncovered irregular test results and pushed the Board of Education to investigate claims of cheating in 58 Atlanta schools. By the end of the scandal, “a special state investigator’s report found organized and systematic cheating in Atlanta to boost test scores, and it named 178 educators, including 38 principals, who were said to have taken part.” The work of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution led to reform and awareness of the pressures put on educators across the country to produce these test results with “no excuses.”

The Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Reporting, which annually honors journalists who seek ethical conduct in our government and society, awards $10,000 to five nominees and $25,000 to the finalist. The winner of this year’s award is Shane Bauer of Mother Jones for his episodic article titled, “My Four Months as a Private Prison Guard.” Bauer delved into the private prison industry by becoming a guard at Winn Correctional Center in Louisiana. He writes in detail about his experiences within the prison and the lackadaisical attitudes many of the guards had regarding the well-being of the inmates. He used a pen with a microphone to record his conversations, preserving every interaction he had over the four months he spent there. He shares accounts of neglect, violence and exploitation within the walls of the prison in a raw and riveting read that shows the corrupt and cash-grabbing nature of the private prison industry. After leaving the prison and exposing that he was an investigative journalist, the Correctional Centers of America scrutinized Bauer for his investigative standards, even though the Winn Correctional Center briefly reviewed his resume and background before hiring him. As a result of Bauer’s work, the prison updated background checks on all of their employees and reviewed training and protocols; however, investigative journalists must continue to shed light on this issue if they would like to incite widespread change.

Bauer’s article exemplifies the fundamental meaning of journalism: to bring the public the facts, no matter how harsh they may be, in an unbiased manner. This aspect of journalistic integrity can greatly impact issues we as journalists address; if we work hard enough and make ourselves heard, we can make a change. Even if it is only on a local level, as seen in Bauer’s article, we still can make a difference. This is the foundation upon which journalism was built.

Unfortunately, investigative journalism takes time and effort, which many journalists and media outlets often lack, and many opt instead for quantity over quality. It is our responsibility as the next generation of journalists to uphold integrity in truth-telling and continue in the tradition of raw and visceral investigative journalism.

The Evolution of Journalism

by Kelsey Fiander-Carr

The field of journalism dates back thousands of years. Before technology and access to instant mail, journalism consisted of written communication and oral speeches. It was not until the late 1700s that the United States of America welcomed their first newspaper. Publick Occurrences consisted of four pages of demanded news for the people of the-then British Colonies. It was not until two decades after American independence that journalism received full protection under the law.

Protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution in the Bill of Rights, journalists have the right to express their opinions using any given platform. Before this Amendment, citizens under the Parliament were urged not to speak against the government. After the enactment of the First Amendment, print media was transformed forever. Media platforms were able to speak freely without fear of government opposition.

However, the first newspaper, among others, was not able to fully circulate around the United States due to limited transportation. It was not until adequate transportation existed that Americans were able to receive news on a weekly basis.

Possibly the first famous publisher was the founder of Hearst Communications, William Randolph Hearst. Hearst completely revitalized journalism, resulting in the publications we see today. In the early 1900s, Hearst gained control of multiple news publications in major cities in the United States, including The New York Journal. Hearst beat out competing publications with his outlandish headlines that appealed to human interest and the working class. At the end of his success, Hearst had more than two dozen publications included in his chain. This chain made Hearst the most successful circulation in American publication history.

Hearst created a layout for a striking front page for every newspaper he acquired. There were more columns per page to print more stories. There was also always an enlarged headline plastered on the front page to ensure audience attention. Latter publications copied his structured layout, eye-catching headlines and human life pieces. Hearst sparked a love for yellow journalism, the act of using a platform to spout fast and sometimes illogical statements to make a point and to attract an audience. Although it lacks legitimacy, yellow journalism is still quite prevalent today in tabloid magazines.

Later, many journalists began to tell their stories through the power of photography. These photojournalists allowed their audiences to view news in spectacular sights. The images provided made lasting memories of specific moments in history. Some of these photos are well-known and have aided in many of our history classes over the years. Photojournalists like Kevin Carter have been awarded for their astounding work. Carter received a Pulitzer Prize for his picture depicting the famine in Sudan in 1993. This photo, which was named the best photograph of the year, aided to Carter’s success. Today, photography is everywhere, and the best shots are taken by photojournalists who dare to capture the unknown in new ways.

News in broadcast media has also reached its highest peak thus far in the last year. Broadcast journalism has the power to deliver firsthand accounts direct from the source. Through the eyes of a camera lens, Americans have been able to see monumental moments live. Broadcast media brought us the gruesome assassination of President John F. Kennedy along with the groundbreaking Supreme Court decision on marriage equality. Television network channels provide most of our daily news in the United States. In the wake of horrors, Americans can be informed on strategic action plans, and learning of everything from hurricanes and tornadoes to terrorism from digital media can help keep Americans safe.

In today’s world, journalism is fueled by human interest through sources like Buzzfeed and other similar platforms that reach their audiences via social media. Because of this, journalism has become an outlet for a variety of writers. From hard news to soft news to human interest pieces, these creators are representing journalism in new and exciting ways.

Because of the presence of digital media in our society, there has been a downsizing of print media publications: America’s newspapers. Instead of receiving a paper in the mail each day, many now receive news through their laptop, tablet or smartphone.

Journalism continues to have power. It has the power to transform letters, punctuation marks and a plethora of grammatical rules into a masterpiece. Journalism occurs 24/7, and news never stops happening. The art of writing is ever-changing and has not yet seen all it has the power to become.

The first weekend of April was a very busy one for the Eastern community. Starting on Saturday afternoon, students began to prepare for a glamorous evening. The day had finally arrived for the 2017 Spring Banquet hosted at the Penn Museum, or the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. Traveling from Eastern’s campus to the banquet was a lovely adventure with friends and loved ones while taking in the beautiful sights of the city of Philadelphia.

Banquet guests entered through the museum’s wide gates into a wonderful garden patio featuring a reflection pool with a fountain at its center that directed the eye toward the main staircase. The patio was a unique spot for personal photo shoots with an urban background in display. As the grand doors flew open with guests arriving by the dozen, one received the impression of entering into a mansion’s ballroom.

Immediately I was greeted at the door by SAB staff, and the first thing to catch my attention was the exhibit of Canaan and Israel. Before I began exploring the museum’s sights and wonders, my friends and I went toward the great room located at the center of everything, where the tables were decorated and set and dinner was served. As we sat at our table we could easily admire the ancient Egyptian artifacts on display. The banquet’s food was well worth the wait.

“The food was very tasty, and how it was laid out was nice and professional,” Devon Gaines says. Dinner was self-serve with multiple stations of food near the tables.

“I think that there was more than enough food for everyone to have seconds or even thirds,” Brandon Forino says.

After engaging in social hour over dinner and seeing many friends show off their amazing outfits throughout the night, I decided it was time to travel “around the world in one night.” On the first floor where the banquet was hosted there were three exhibits: Canaan/Israel, Rome and Egypt. The more I explored the Middle Eastern exhibit, the more I was captivated by the knowledge and wisdom of ancient times. I was shocked to discover that the glass industry was born before the Industrial Revolution. Forino had a similar reaction: “I really enjoyed that during the free time we were allowed to wander the museum and look at all the history that surrounds us.” The museum exhibits were a great addition to have this year.

The overall Spring Banquet experience was extraordinary. Forino shares, “I thought that the Spring Banquet was beautifully prepared, especially for the arrangements that needed to be made for everyone.” For example, the actual venue was capable of only holding 300 people, but the Spring Banquet was so popular this year that the Student Activities Board sold 312 tickets.

“I think that everyone really enjoyed the photo booth because it allowed them to bring a little momento back home to remember the night,” Forino adds.

On April 3, the Philadelphia Phillies will begin the 2017 MLB season against the Cincinnati Reds at 4:10 p.m. in Great American Ball Park. Jeremy Hellickson is expected to get on the mound for the Phillies, which will make it Hellickson’s second-straight Opening Day start. The Reds plan to put Scott Feldman to pitch for his third career Opening Day start (his first start with the Reds).

Feldman, a right-handed veteran pitcher, signed a one-year deal with the Reds during the offseason. When he was interviewed about his opinion on starting this year, he said, “It’s pretty cool, I know about the history of Cincinnati, being, like, the capital of Opening Day.”

In a similar respect Jeremy Hellickson is looking forward to performing a second act of a dominating start like last season on April 4 at Great American Ball Park. Hellickson pitched for the Phillies, allowing only one unearned run with three hits in six innings, while not giving up a walk and striking out six.

“He opened up for us last year and had a real good year for us,” Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. “I have a lot of confidence in him. I think he earned the right.”

Hellickson finds himself in a young, talented Phillies rotation with promising pitching, as evident in spring training. The Phillies rotation is expected to include Jared Eickhoff, Clay Buchholz, Vince Velasquez and Aaron Nola, in that order. Mackanin is hopeful in the young rotation, highlighting key pitchers like Velasquez and Nola.

“I feel good about the rotation,” Mackanin said. “Especially with Velasquez and Nola [who started the second game last year] at four and five, whichever way they go. We just have to be careful with both of them. We don’t want to baby them, but it’s a nice rotation when you have those two guys at the end.”

“It’s a huge honor, it definitely matters,” Hellickson said. “There’s another guy on our staff who probably deserved it a little more, in my opinion. What [Eickhoff] did last year was pretty remarkable for his first full year. I would have loved to have seen him get it. But I see plenty of Opening Day starts in his future.”

This season, Philly fans can expect Philadelphia not just to hand over easy wins to opposing teams. A positive factor of having a fairly young roster is that many players can simultaneously have a breakout season, and opponents are still left guessing the players’ rhythm and style of play. The Phillies will have double-trouble at shortstop, with flexibility to use either Freddy Gravis or J.P. Crawford. Both players are good defensemen, and Crawford is a young, talented power hitter. Tommy Joseph will reprise his position at first base on the 2017 roster. Joseph contributes a strong bat within the Phillies lineup that should continue to give hope to fans for years to come.

For the Phillies Home Opening Day on April 7 at Citizens Bank Park, Velasquez will take the ball against the Washington Nationals.

After many days and long hours of training, today you finally make it to race day. This is the moment you have been waiting for, to put your skills to the ultimate test. You’re full of excitement, all the adrenaline rising up as you take your place at the starting line. The official begins the countdown, saying, “On your mark, get set…,” and without any hesitation you are off running with all of your strength.

Although it’s possible you have never run a race in your entire life, what you have experienced and endured thus far can compare in similar ways. Currently you find yourself midway through the 2017 spring semester. You have fought through multiple deadlines and sleepless nights to preserve your grades until the end of the school year. In the beginning you are just like the runner in the introduction, having trained daily to develop the skills you will need to have a successful semester. If you were to take a moment to pause and reflect, do you believe you have experienced progress since then?

As I began writing this devotional, I reflected on the importance of grace and how it should entwine everything we do. I wrestled with how it could compare to our road to success as college students. One day while meditating upon grace, I suddenly came across a powerful message that read, “When you Run alone, it’s called Race. When God runs with you, it’s called GRACE!” It is not a mystery that the word “race” is embodied within grace; the question is, “Why?” When believers search the New Testament Scriptures, the apostle Paul reveals the answer to them: “Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air” (1 Corinthians 9:25-26, ESV).

Paul realized that grace is the race all of humanity is running to qualify for an eternal prize. Throughout your life you will encounter both mountains of victory and valleys of defeat or struggle. The important thing to remember when you find yourself with your back up against the wall is that you are going to make it through. Endure this race with patience one day and one assignment at a time. Look ahead toward the prize that awaits you after your college journey, a greater adventure waiting for you to explore.

The runner comes off the blocks full power with one goal on his mind: “I must finish the race.” In the midst of a competitive competition and the temptation to focus on the runners near and up ahead, the runner remains in his lane with his focus toward the destination. The temptation is to surrender to the pain, to give up on himself, to say he is not good enough. He endures till the end, fully exhausted and weary, but grateful he has made it through. One thing the runner has learned is this: if you want to win the race you must silence all of the noise that is against you, and most importantly, overcome all things. This race of grace is against yourself.

The Dominican community is grieving the loss of two well-known and respected Major League Baseball players: Kansas City Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura and former Arizona Diamondbacks player Andy Marte. Early in the morning on Sunday, Jan. 22, both Ventura and Marte died in separate car accidents while in the Dominican Republic.

Royals pitcher Ventura went his first full season with a 14-10 win-loss record, posting a 3.20 Earned Run Average (ERA). Ventura, 25, threw a 100 mile- per-hour fastball down the mound whenever he entered a game. His competitive spirit helped the Royals reach the World Series in 2015, which had not been done since 1985.

Marte played in the MLB from 2005 to 2010 with the Atlanta Braves, the Cleveland Indians and the Arizona Diamondbacks. He posted a .218 batting average with 21 home runs and 99 Runs Batted In (RBIs) while in the Major Leagues. His last two seasons were spent playing professional ball in South Korea, where he hit 22 home runs.

According to the World Health Organization, a study conducted in 2015 found that the traffic accident rate in the Dominican Republic is 29.3 annual accidents per 100,000 residents. They currently hold the “highest traffic accident death rate in the Americas” (Chicago Tribune).

The Dominican Republic has suffered much loss in recent years, as two other baseball players have also died in highway accidents: Oscar Taveras of the St. Louis Cardinals and shortstop Andujar Cedeno. The MLB has grieved major losses in the baseball community, along with last year’s death of pitcher José Fernández of the Miami Marlins in a tragic boat accident.

The death of Yordano Ventura came as a great shock all across the baseball community as his tragic accident was reported moments after the report of Andy Marte was published. Ventura, known as ACE to his Royals ballclub, was young and full of potential, which many players and teammates admired. He was quickly beginning to receive recognition as a potential Hall of Fame pitcher, and some went so far as to call Ventura the next Pedro Martínez.

Ventura’s teammate Jeremy Guthrie posted a photo on Instagram with the caption, “Yordano ‘Ace’ Ventura was a young and vibrant kid….On the field he was a fiery competitor, someone willing to stand up to any challenge and overcome. It was a reflection of the life he lived while growing up in his native Dominican Republic.”

Hall of Famer Pedro Martínez tweeted, “Guys, the only way we can pay tribute to you is by reflecting on the adjustments we all have to make in this game called life. #willmissyou”

Well-known and respected baseball player Miguel Cabrera tweeted, “No puedo creerlo [crying emoji] dos amigos en un solo día [sad emoji],” which translates to: “I can’t believe it, two friends in only one day.”

Death is never an easy thing to process, regardless of whether it is family, friends or big-name Major Leaguers. Royals General Manager Dayton Moore said his first reaction to the news of Ventura caused him to send a phone call on Sunday to Miami President of Baseball Operations Michael Hill. Hill was the one to quickly respond and take action regarding last year’s fatal accident involving Miami’s ace, José Fernández. The intentions of Moore’s phone call were not revealed, but he did say, “There’s no playbook for this. There’s no script. Mike was able to provide me [with] some insight and just give me some comfort, really.”

The spring semester is underway and full of many surprises soon to come forth. Worship is filling the atmosphere, calling all students to join wholeheartedly and fellowship in the presence of God in one accord. Are you someone who finds themselves stressing constantly over school work, family concerns, relationships or just plain brokenness? Do not be anxious any longer about relying on your own strength; rather, come along for a spiritual journey that will enable us to turn sorrow into joy, pain into purpose and hopelessness into worship.

According to Eagle Hall student chaplain Barbara Merroth, a worship session of Christian fellowship will be held on the first and third Sundays of each month from 6 to 7 p.m. Wednesday Night Worship will continue to be held for all students in Gough every week from 11 p.m. to 12 a.m. This new campus event has been created to allow more students to engage in worship while pursuing their degrees at Eastern. Merroth and Eagle Hall’s RD, Sharina Hudson, were happy to share exclusive details of programming and how this all began.

After much collaboration and teamwork the Eagle staff was able to brainstorm new opportunities to serve the hall residents and campus community.

“Last semester, it was in the brainstorming phase, but this semester it has moved into the execution phases. The great thing about this rollout of ‘Worship in the Nest’ is that it will also help address the spiritual growth and community development desires of the Eagle Hall residents, which was mentioned on the hall surveys taken last semester,” Hudson says.

“Worship in the Nest” is being led by Merroth, with assistance from the rest of the Eagle staff.

“What sparked the idea was I had students talk to me about wanting something over on this side of campus…a place where they can have a sense of spiritual community as well. At one of our staff meetings I mentioned the idea of me starting a worship night, and it snowballed into an even better idea of multiple people coming together to form another worship team and host it here in Eagle Great Room,” Merroth says. “I don’t want this to interfere with Wednesday Night Worship. I want it to be kind [of] the same. A little more upbeat songs to get the week started is the only difference I can think of that I want to do….If you’re not up that late or Wednesday nights just don’t work, come try another night. You can never have too many resources to absorb what Christ can give you.”

There are high hopes for the potential of another worship night on EU’s campus. Every student should dare to step out in faith and prepare for new encounters with God. There is great power in unity, and much more when worshipers join together. Based on student survey responses, Hudson says, “I see ‘Worship in the Nest’ as a spiritual growth and community development initiative for Eagle residents and the Eastern community as a whole. So in a sense, this is another visual aid to show a united front and collaborative efforts based on student voices.”

We live in an era in which technology continues to innovate, promising an “easier” life and in which most consumers’ dependency for current news correlates with the number of social media accounts they have. This raises the question of how one can rely on the news media for accurate information about what is occurring in the world.

Recently, fake news has steadily increased in belief and influence. Both citizens and well-respected news outlets have stumbled across the fake news infection that is spreading everywhere. Its effectiveness was displayed just last year in the 2016 presidential election. The rather strange nature of this election provoked supporters of both parties to easily believe anything someone posted online. Fake news was used to manipulate and falsely lead people away from the truth. Our society is increasingly less able to discern between fake news and legitimate news. Two key contributors to this issue are the practice of “post-truth” and a lack of sound judgment. Post-truth is a disregard of the importance of objective truth, which results in one not caring about factual accuracy. It’s when one person starts “cherry picking” data (what they like and dislike). The problem we need to confront is the temptation to read bits and pieces of things that we like and ignore the context as a whole. A lack of judgment can also cause great damage to a society or nation if we are not cautious. There’s an old saying that you shouldn’t believe everything you hear. As citizens it’s our duty to raise questions before accepting what someone tells us is the truth.

Here are a few tips to prevent fake news wildfires:

-Search the Sources: Conducting research can help determine a topic’s accuracy.

-Define Difficult Vocabulary: Take the time to search for definitions because though it may seem tedious, it helps a lot.

-Use Multiple News Outlets: Verify that the story is important and true by making sure other outlets are witnesses to the same reported events.

If we all put these simple tips into practice, fewer people may identify our generation as “careless” and “ignorant.” Whether we chose to accept it, societies thrive on news availability, and all the more on its accuracy. Choose to identify and challenge the context of a news story before you share it.

The arrival of a new year brings new opportunities, new hopes and obtainable goals. This is also true for Eastern as we strive to continue climbing up the ladder of success and expand to reach new territory. Attention all students: Eastern University has begun 2017 with good news.

Moving from 18th and JFK Boulevard to 1601 Market St., Eastern’s College of Business and Leadership has relocated to a Center City site, only one block from City Hall. The relocation serves to witness to Philadelphia residents and visitors what Eastern is determined to contribute to the community. Over the last few years City Hall has been renovated to become a greater tourist attraction. Now, with the College of Business and Leadership nearby on Market Street, this Center City location will be visible to everyone and easy to find. Douglas Clark, who is leading the project, ensures Eastern’s commitment to creating a friendly environment for students and faculty members, as well as for surrounding contributors. Dr. Clark says, “This underscores our commitment to serving students and community stakeholders in the city of Philadelphia.”

The Center City location is positioned to be easily accessible to business students. From the SEPTA train stop through the Suburban Station, students and faculty may even enter the college in inclement weather.

The Fall/Winter 2016 edition of Eastern, the University’s magazine, includes detailed photographs of the second-floor welcome lounge, where students receive a lovely view of the city and its urban community activities. This popular section of the suite contains big windows in front of a high top table along with sitting stools, surrounded by other individual, comfortable lounge chairs.

Clark describes his perspective on the effectiveness of having a multi-use space for studying and holding meetings. He says, “Designed as a multi-use and agile space with a mindset of openness and flexibility, each room can be used as needed to maximize the educational experience, one that is a highly interactive and applied learning experience.”

Eastern’s decision to expand their territories and share the university’s belief in faith, reason and justice will create new opportunities for higher education in the city of Philadelphia.

It was a calm and chilly night. Cars drove in the parking lot, and the masses gathered in the McInnis lobby. As I entered the building, I was greeted and escorted to a seat. Once the doors opened I saw the auditorium filling up. I settled in my seat, awed by the scene of the St. Davids Orchestra Society.

Many of the musicians in the orchestra were familiar to me, and it was a blessing to see them bring out the full potential of their wonderful God-given talents and musical skills. Cortize Hicks on violin I, Somer Jordan on violin II, percussionists Brett Van Horn and Daniel Murphy and many more expressed their passion for music in magnificent ways through musical pieces put together by director R. Stephen Framil; these included Beethoven’s “Andante cantabile con moto,” Smetana’s “Ma Vlast” and the creative addition of Howard Shore’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings.” Framil did an incredible job of expressing his enthusiasm to conduct a fantastic group of musicians and kept control of tempo and dynamics throughout the performance, even during some challenging musical pieces.

Other performances throughout the night were given by the Chamber Ensemble, University Choir and Turning Point! Everyone who took the stage showed the audience their amazing gifts from the beginning to the end of the music festival. Each passing second was worth attending and peacefully absorbed the powerful sounds that elevated the night.

Witnessing all of the talent created an awesome atmosphere that filled the entire auditorium. In my seat I remembered my own experiences performing concerts as a trumpetist in places like the Kimmel Center. For all musicians and music lovers who attended, the Winter Music Festival implicitly provoked a sense of nostalgia for other great musical performances, whether as a performer or as a viewer. When a performance can create that type of atmosphere it makes it easier to appreciate the art of music that is freely poured out for all humankind.
