Students have mixed opinions on the 15-minute spacing of classes
“The University of Miami is a relatively compact campus, but the late-summer rainstorms and 100 degree days may leave students dreading the distance between classes. Now, students face a time constraint as they race the newly reinstated 15-minute period between classes.”

Quiet Start to 2022 Hurricane Season Should Not Deter UM Students From Emergency Preparedness of Future Storms
“It certainly is off to a very quiet start,” said Brian McNoldy, a senior research assistant and hurricane expert at the Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric and Earth Science (RASMAES). “We’re at about a third of the normal activity for this point in the year.”

“For many, the act of expressing gratitude seems mundane, but how often do we really take the time to recognize and acknowledge the feeling?
Gratitude has been proven to combat poor mental health and cultivate strong social bonds. In a post-COVID-19 world, actively showing gratitude and building back “socially distant” relationships can be difficult — but gratitude can change that.
Former University of Miami researcher Michael E. McCullough and University of California, Davis professor Robert A. Emmons conducted a 2003 study that explored the benefits of practicing gratitude.
“There do appear to exist benefits to regularly focusing on one’s blessings. The advantages are most pronounced when compared with a focus on hassles or complaints,” said the researchers in their article published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
In observance of World Gratitude Day on Sept. 21, students at the University of Miami are expressing their gratitude for people who have impacted their lives and taken their passions to another level.”

“What Matters to U (WMTU), Student Government’s speaker series coordinated by student leaders for the University of Miami community, announced on Tuesday morning their upcoming speaker: Kalpen Suresh Modi, professionally known as Kal Penn.
Penn, an already accomplished actor, was offered a position in the Obama administration, an offer that he would accept and step away from his role in the hit television series “House” to fill. Penn served as the Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs from 2009 to 2010.
I think its really cool to have someone that can merge knowledge of Hollywood and politics,” said AJ Zegans, a senior studying architecture.”

“First-year Hurricanes football head coach Mario Cristobal, who has over 20 years of Division I coaching experience, knows that leading a collegiate football team is no easy feat.
However, it is even more difficult coaching a Power Five program desperate to return to its glory days like the Miami Hurricanes.
Not everybody is built for that kind of pressure, but Cristobal was born to bring the ‘Canes back to greatness. A Miami native and double alumnus of the University, his entire life has been building up to this moment.”

Senate passes bill to remove Iron Arrow as highest honor
“The University of Miami Student Government used the final minutes of the 2022 spring semester to denounce cultural appropriation of Native Americans symbols within the Iron Arrow Honor Society, one of the university’s highest academic honors and an organization with a history of controversy.”
“In a 28-to-5 vote, with seven abstentions, the Student Senate passed “A Resolution Calling for the Need for an Alternative Organization to Iron Arrow as the ‘Highest Honor’ Achievable at the University of Miami and to Properly Support Indigenous Communities on Campus.” The bill called for the disaffiliation of Iron Arrow Honor Society from the University of Miami and the establishment of a new highest honor.”
