Abstract

Ethan Faulkner was appointed the 14th head coach of the YSU men's basketball team April 1 following Jerrod Calhoun leaving for Utah State. With parts of Ohio in the path of a total solar eclipse around 3 p.m. on April 8, YSU is leading the way for residents to view the eclipse with several different events. YSU students facing food insecurity can visit local organizations such as Dorothy Day House and Our Community Kitchen to receive free meals. Crystal Bannon, YSU's director of Career Exploration and Development, released a children's book discussing cancer among families with younger children. YSU's Information Technology Training Services has been working to engage more with students and educate them on YSU-related technology. Students at YSU can get involved in various forms of media, including podcasting with the Communications Department. The Student Athlete Advisory Committee is dedicated to community service and social justice initiatives while connecting students with YSU administrators. Students in YSU's Society of Women Engineers are hopeful about starting their careers in engineering, an industry becoming more receptive to diversity and inclusion. Students and community members can take ballroom dance lessons with a twist at YSU. Tunes from the Cleveland-based band Grumpy Plum have reached millions beyond Northeast Ohio. The YSU softball team is currently 22-10 with an 11-game winning streak. Men's golf is in the rough near the season's end. YSU hosted its Pro Day on March 27 with seven YSU football seniors participating in multiple events for scouts from three NFL teams.
