valuable engineering experiences using immersive technology Engineering students in EEE 598: Metrology for Semiconductor Devices interact with models in an immersive augmented reality environment Semiconductor manufacturing is a complex and fast-changing field driven by innovation and investment to meet growing societal demands For engineering students interested in joining this industry access to hands-on experience is vital in developing skill sets and determining career pathways Graduate students in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University interested in a semiconductor career now have an opportunity to gain new understanding of microchip production through a new course that uses extended reality Umberto Celano, an associate professor in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering is bridging the gap between classroom instruction and semiconductor manufacturing environments that otherwise are not easily or regularly accessible to students Celano’s inspiration to incorporate XR started as a passion project stemming from a need to educate students about fundamental analysis techniques used in high-volume integrated circuit XR also presented an opportunity for learners across various engineering disciplines to deepen their knowledge of advanced semiconductor fabrication techniques the only way to gain this experience would be to bring multiple students into a semiconductor clean room and this is not always feasible,” Celano says “An immersive experience enables us to bring realistic models of tools and large expensive machinery into the classroom for students to examine and interact with at different scales.” Celano began collaborating with Fulton Schools professors Robert LiKamWa and Binil Starly in 2023 to determine the best method of deployment defining the overall narrative for the course and designing digital assets for students to ultimately interact with LiKamWa, an associate professor of computer engineering with a joint appointment in the School of Arts, Media and Engineering, part of the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, was pivotal in bringing interactive experiences to life for the course. He also directs the Meteor Studio which explores the research and design of software and hardware for XR systems to enhance storytelling LiKamWa supported development of the immersive media player system which serves as the platform where digital assets are uploaded for students to then explore in class In addition, a team of students worked with Celano to develop the concept and course deliverables. Graduate teaching assistant and doctoral student Krutik Pandya is excited to see the result of the team’s efforts and the impact it will have on engineering students “With the growing emphasis on the future of semiconductor fabrication training a skilled workforce has become a top priority,” Pandya says “Contributing to this remarkable project with an amazing team and utilizing extended reality technologies to create an immersive learning experience in semiconductor metrology reinforces my confidence that we are shaping the future.” Metrology is the scientific study of measurement and critical to the measurement-intensive semiconductor manufacturing industry Beyond the novel teaching experience for students, this work supports the Southwest Advanced Prototyping, or SWAP, Hub workforce development mission to accelerate the lab-to-fab transition Extended reality serves as a collective term for immersive technologies Unlike a fully immersive VR experience in which users are completely removed from their environment visually wherein learners can examine objects and models while maintaining a view of their desk and even the professor AR adds layers of virtual objects to the space that students can interact with The course EEE 598: Metrology for Semiconductor Devices introduces students to the key principles behind measurement methods and their underlying physics The class covers modern techniques used in high-volume manufacturing exploring their limits and practical applications students learn to apply statistical methods to analyze semiconductor materials and optimize chip production processes the course aims to provide ASU engineering students with an innovative immersive learning experience focused on metrology and analysis for semiconductor manufacturing The goal of the XR technology is to help students grasp the methods and instruments used in semiconductor metrology It also emphasizes the physics behind inspection tools used during and after semiconductor processing “Engineering students wanting to join this industry will benefit massively because whether they focus on a career in metrology you are getting a great overview,” Celano says “Even if a student pivots in their career path they will have gained a lot of foundational knowledge and common understanding critical to other teams.” Celano hopes more students consider the course given the impactful investments and resources allocated to expanding the semiconductor manufacturing and packaging footprint in Arizona The rapid evolution of semiconductor manufacturing tools and techniques combined with frequent updates to consumer XR headsets presents a unique challenge for maintaining the course the next step to ensuring a high-quality student experience is to continuously update the material to keep pace with these advancements “The course is a living thing because numerous mechanisms of the industry are changing quickly so we want to ensure the material is in alignment,” Celano says “As new tools for semiconductor manufacturing are created our task will be to prepare new assets to upload and make adjustments to improve the immersive experience.” With the ability to showcase initial results of what is capable for instruction Celano hopes to engage additional university partners and semiconductor companies in curriculum development to enhance the learning experience outcomes This new course will benefit from both student feedback and supplemental data points as it is offered more and evolves He envisions it as a springboard for other classes to integrate immersive teaching methods that will help prepare them for roles in the semiconductor industry “There are a lot of classes that can benefit from these dynamic experiences,” Celano says “Coursework in emerging solid-state electronics semiconductors and circuit design are courses that would be beneficial for students the possibilities extend to any engineering course where you want students to interact with three-dimensional objects and environments that are not consistently accessible.” Vincent Truong is graduating from Arizona State University with dual degrees in psychology and biochemistry (medical chemistry) a minor in disability studies and a drive to return to underserved… carving deep valleys and intricate canyons global giant Applied Materials has been hard at work engineering technology that continues to change how microchips are made.Their products power everything from flat-panel… We have the address for the funeral home & the family on file If you're not happy with your card we'll send a replacement or refund your money With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Nancy Ann (Celano) DiVirgilio, who left us peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, on February 21, 2025, at the age of 97.

Alessandra Benedetti/Corbis/Getty Images was probably the most extraordinary man to ever sit on the Chair of St Peter But Jorge Mario Bergoglio was unique — in his talent for manipulating world opinion; in his obscure and conspiracy-laden backstory; and in his extraordinary skill at destruction but at the age of 21 he decided to join the Jesuits the premier Catholic religious order in those days That something had gone wrong was clear — and Bergoglio himself has talked of a period of “great interior crisis” and a dark night of the soul occasioned by his broken relationship with the order the reason for this estrangement has never been satisfactorily explained Argentina was being roiled by the Dirty War and the Church was divided over its support for the dictatorship Bergoglio himself only spoke of the case once where he claimed to have worked behind the scenes to secure their release was not an open opponent of the dictatorship even as his relationship to Peronism remains characteristically obscure His period in the wilderness ended with his appointment as an assistant bishop in Buenos Aires in 1992 and in 2001 was elevated to the College of Cardinals The initial promotion was dogged by controversy wrote to Pope John Paul II begging him not to make Bergoglio a bishop allegedly because he had done such damage to the Jesuits Both the letter and the Bergoglio file mysteriously vanished from the Vatican archives when Bergoglio became Pope This is just one of many conspiracy theories to dog Bergoglio Yet given how murky so much of his life remains his time in Buenos Aires remains hard to judge He had the confidence of John Paul II and Benedict XVI for he was seen as a man immune to the virus of Liberation Theology then sweeping Latin America blending Marxist dialectical materialism with Catholic theology was seen as fatal to the sacramental and transcendental message of the Church one could interpret Bergoglio’s ministry as archbishop as an attempt to outflank the Left That meant founding parishes in the outer suburbs of the city and in promoting a Church closer to people in their actual lived situations Bergoglio himself renounced many of the trappings of his high office; he was regularly seen using public transport Other acts of humility were well publicised too notably his visits to prisons for Maundy Thursday foot washing enigmatic and authoritarian figure to more traditional Catholics and submitted his resignation to Pope Benedict he was asked to stay on as archbishop for the time being his career in the Church seemed to be at an end Then came the unexpected resignation of Pope Benedict and Bergoglio’s election as Pope in March 2013 his career experienced a sudden renaissance By Damian Thompson Bergoglio had been considered a candidate for the Chair of St Peter and Benedict had resigned in the serene hope that he would be succeeded by Cardinal Angelo Scola (or so rumour had it — everything in the Vatican is rumour Bergoglio largely owed his election to the so-called St Gallen Mafia Named after the Swiss town in which it met it encompassed a group of cardinals including England’s Cormac Murphy-O’Connor They had apparently been meeting for years This is a charge they always denied — influencing a conclave is against canon law — yet it’s clear Bergoglio had allies elsewhere too One example is a speech given by Cardinal Prosper Grech before the conclave began whose pontificate had ended in supposed failure someone to shake up the sclerotic Vatican bureaucracy and bring the Church into the modern world This might well have been the Bergoglio plan We don’t know for sure: he unsurprisingly never made his agenda clear though many of his cheerleaders claimed that Pope Francis was determined to change the Church for good The first real sign of this came during a synod which in the end boiled down to the question of whether divorced and remarried Catholics could receive Holy Communion The majority of assembled bishops were against this Divorce and remarriage were forbidden by Christ himself who deemed second marriages to be adulterous adulterers were precluded from receiving Holy Communion rammed through against all opposition and inserted as a footnote in the final document — a footnote that the Pope himself the consequences of this evasion are clear those in irregular unions were welcomed to Holy Communion Some nations’ conferences of bishops accepted the perceived new dispensation with alacrity Deep fissures were revealed in the seemingly monolithic Church challenging the teaching that doctrine develops for the new teaching contradicted that of John Paul II another synod looked set to authorise the ordination of married men on something called “synodality” and which supposedly made decision-making less centralised the Pope issued numerous decrees establishing his authority more firmly than ever ruling on all sorts of minor matters and interfering in various religious orders and institutions from contemplative nuns to the Knights of Malta whose grandmaster was unceremoniously sacked Bishops and cardinals suffered the same fate driven to the edge of the Church by the man who claimed to care for the margins By Damian Thompson most of whom were champions of the Latin Mass Francis put Latin worship under ever tighter restrictions The men promoted by Francis raised eyebrows too. Several unknowns were made cardinals, and have remained unknown ever since. Consider his pick for the Vatican’s doctrinal chief, an undistinguished Argentine cleric called Víctor Manuel Fernández. His previous writings, particularly a book on the theology of kissing matters were left in the hands of Cardinal Parolin who oversaw a secret treaty with the Chinese government allowing the CCP to appoint Catholic bishops an unheard-of usurpation of the Church’s independence in the modern age This move was bitterly criticised by the former bishop of Hong Kong who could only meet the Pope in a public audience Like so many others who had concerns about the Church’s direction Yet if changing the Church irreversibly was indeed Francis’s aim the plan seemed to falter by the end of the papacy published a document that allowed for the blessing of gay couples Conservatives fumed at the thought of the Church blessing sin; many had always suspected the thrust of the Bergoglio papacy was to liberalise Church teaching on homosexuality the African bishops rose up and condemned the document Despite saying there would be no clarifications Fernández remarkably swiftly issued what amounted to a retraction Amid the verbiage explaining that blessings were of individuals not couples people detected a defeat for Pope Francis and his chief collaborator Vatican experts have long tried to explain Pope Francis — most of them floundering on the poverty of terms like conservative or liberal Perhaps he was a radical; perhaps a Peronist His reign was a time of great confusion for believing Catholics though those outside the Church continued to applaud the way he reached out to the marginalised while handily ignoring his constant baiting of traditional Catholics its income falling steadily over his papacy The Holy See has still not shown clear leadership around sexual abuse even if this has started in the lower rungs of the Church Ordinary clergy are demoralised and bewildered and the numbers coming forward to be ordained have declined dramatically Perhaps there is no new model Catholicism in the offing for the simple reason that none is possible There is only the Catholicism of the past two millennia Francis apparently raged against his critics in private and many of those same critics died before him Thomas of Celano is a Catholic priest who wishes to remain anonymous We welcome applications to contribute to UnHerd – please fill out the form below including examples of your previously published work.

School where she molded the futures of hundreds of children and also mentored many student-interns who would go on to teach their own classes She realized the hardships that many of these future teachers had and wanted to make their path a little easier she and their children honored his legacy by creating the L.A Lee Family Endowed Scholarship at UCF to help ease the financial burden of students who wanted to become elementary school teachers the two joined forces and created two more endowed scholarships one at UCF; both were established to help teachers earn a graduate degree in

Technological University) in 1972 and retired in 2005 after 24 years of service to UCF and the Orlando community His many accomplishments were celebrated at his memorial service earlier this year by his many friends and family Callarman created the UCF College of Business’ Cornerstone class a requirement for seniors and a demonstration of service and leadership Callarman served as the faculty advisor to UCF’s chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi the nation’s oldest and largest co-ed business fraternity His community involvement went far beyond that  “When his students didn’t have somewhere to go for Thanksgiving or Christmas he would invite them all to come over for family dinners,” Michael Callarman says He was involved with his church and various club soccer teams he coached over the years.” The elder Callarman continued his mission of showing the next generation the possibilities of higher education and would often take them on field trips to UCF Opening doors and encouraging upward mobility were just two of his community-building passions “My dad always told me that the best time he spent were the times he invested in people,” Michael Callarman says Conte will complete his second gubernatorial appointment as a UCF Board of Trustee member the healthcare entrepreneur has dedicated his life to investing in the care of others and has been influential in the development of UCF’s College of Medicine where he worked as a research assistant for a U.S His work focused on issues related to healthcare needs of the elderly which led him to take a greater interest in this area That interest led him to work for — and eventually create — two national providers of post-acute senior health services he turned his focus to supporting UCF’s College of Medicine particularly on how physicians should care for older demographics Conte was also one of the first community members to contribute a four-year scholarship to the COM’s charter class and he remains deeply committed to the college’s mission and vision Conte demonstrates the UCF Creed of integrity creativity and excellence beyond the campus community he was inducted into the Constantinian Order of St George and the Royal Order of Francis I — making him an official Knight When LeClair applied to Florida Technological University in 1974 The one that appealed to her most was in what was then the Department of Communication now UCF’s Nicholson School of Communication and Media LeClair was instrumental in helping build the popular program and went above and beyond to bring enriching experiences to campus even enlisting one of her horses to make an appearance on “C-Day,” one of her department’s annual events many of whom depended on financial support to attend the school Through her leadership with the UCF Women’s Club and Town and Gown LeClair tirelessly drove many scholarship campaigns and is still connected to raising funds for students in need She also has worked with the Florida Public Relations Association on its Roast and Toast scholarship program which provides eight to 10 scholarships each year to UCF students She is a generous philanthropist and continues to give because of her love for UCF and its students As she looks back at five decades of her involvement “I just want people to know that UCF has given me so much more than I could ever give back.” When computer science student Dan met Kendrah at UCF in 1988 she was not only taken with his intellect and humor but also intrigued that he was probably the only student on campus who had his own personal computer Because Kendrah had also taken computer science courses Dan proposed by printing out the big question via a dot-matrix printer and posted it up all around her apartment who is now the chief product officer for cybersecurity company Arctic Wolf and Kendrah got married and started a family their love for UCF — and collection of Knights memorabilia — grew because it is the place that brought them together The Schiappas have been involved with UCF for over 20 years through their generous gifts of service and philanthropy two qualities they also instill in their children Dan is a vital member of the UCF College of Engineering and Computer Science’s Dean’s Advisory Board He and Kendrah are often found courtside at UCF basketball games and on the sidelines at UCF football games cheering on their beloved Knights Their philanthropic support also includes First Generation Scholarships Mentor emigrated with her family from Haiti to the United States at a time when large-scale political unrest economic stagnation and repeated eruptions of violence made living there untenable Because of the widespread mistreatment of Haitian citizens she witnessed while living there Mentor knew from an early age that she wanted to become an attorney the finance alum is passionate about guiding aspiring law students and sharing her own journey as a lawyer She supports students in the ChargeOn Mentorship program and advises Burnett Honors College students on the Honors in the Undergraduate Thesis program She also stays connected to UCF through the New York UCF Knights Community and active involvement

also volunteers her time with nonprofit organizations who advocate for babies and children Mentor empowers youth to pursue their professional dreams Her resilience drives her to overcome obstacles in her field Her dedication to service underscores her commitment to both UCF and society Johnson would have applied to many renowned colleges she only applied to UCF because she knew she could pursue a great program in kinesiology while carrying on a family legacy started bringing Johnson to football games as a young child which is when she first felt the pull to UCF Johnson quickly became even more involved during her first year as a Knight by joining the orientation team and then serving as a PeerKnight for her classmates She was part of the Homecoming Court last year an elite group of students who assist UCF Alumni with events and projects and build the education of student philanthropy on campus Johnson says she plans to become a double Knight after earning her bachelor’s by pursuing a Doctor of Physical Therapy through UCF’s highly ranked program The International’s new course will still be called the Pines but almost everything else about it will be different than the original The new design will be about 1,200 yards shorter than the 8,325-yard layout in Bolton that once laid claim to being the world’s longest golf course Fifteen of the 18 holes will follow different corridors 5 is a 430-yard par 4 which cuts across the former fourth green the 12th fairway and back up to the former Tiger tee on 13 The new green is located just short of the former 13th tee except for where the third and 12th fairways were par-5 seventh hole on the new Pines course runs along where the eighth and ninth holes were at Twin Springs GC a nine-hole public course which has closed About 1,500 trees were removed from behind the old ninth tee and eighth green of Twin Springs The green used to be 105 yards long by 42 yards wide on the 715-yard 16 on the new course will play 145 yards from the back tees shorter than the green was on the former No Director of golf Paul Celano jokingly referred to No 16 as the shortest par 5 in New England because the bunker to the left of the green is 15 feet deep So there could be a lot of double-bogey 5s There will be three par 3s of at least 225 yards “It’s a completely new design,” Celano said Celano said Escalante Golf will spend about $50 million on the International including the $10 million it paid to purchase the club out of bankruptcy in February 2021 challenging layout that should be more enjoyable to play Bill Coore formed his own design firm in 1982 Crenshaw is a two-time Masters champion who made his pro debut by finishing tied for 35th at Pleasant Valley CC in Sutton at the USI Classic They’ve designed more than three dozen courses but this is only their second in New England They also designed Old Sandwich GC in Plymouth in 2004 Celano said a change to the Pines was necessary “It wasn’t that it was too hard,” Celano said “because players today can play almost anything It just didn’t play the way it was designed.” Trees that were once 10 feet high had grown to 50 feet high So the course didn’t play the way it was intended to play The hope was that the new course would open this fall but Celano said it probably won’t open next May or June The first golf course on the site was a nine-hole public course called Runaway Brook that opened in 1901 Albert Surprenant purchased the club in 1953 and hired Geoffrey Cornish to build the world’s longest 18-hole course Worcester native Paul Harney and Francis Ouimet assisted him The Pines opened two years later at 8,040 yards from the back Tiger tees International Telephone & Telegraph (ITT) bought the club in 1961 and changed the name to the International six years later and the course was lengthened to 8,325 yards Dan and Florence Weadock acquired the International in 1999 and hired Tom Fazio to design his first golf course in New England making the International one of the few private Dustin Johnson won a LIV Golf event at the Oaks in 2022 LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman was the best man at Celano’s wedding Celano said Coore uses the word “natural” to describe his golf courses and the word “bounce” to describe the playability “is totally different from the Oaks in that the fairways and rough are all fescue The greens will play firmer because they’re less susceptible to disease and poa annua intrusion Most greens in New England slope from back to front but seven of the greens on the new Pines slope from front to back The Pines is more open with more native areas became director of agronomy in 2020 after working for four years at Red Tail GC in Devens for two at Wedgewood Pines in Stow and for 15 on Long Island “Walking around with Bill Coore is an honor,” Galvin said Watching him walk and put this all together it was just amazing how he fit the property to the land.” Galvin was also impressed with Crenshaw’s photographic memory “He remembers every hole he’s played on tour and around the world has been superintendent of the Oaks since March 2022 he was superintendent for three years at Sterling National CC and was an assistant at Winchester CC is in his third season as head pro at the International he was the head pro at Cherokee Town and CC in Atlanta and in Naples but he returned to Massachusetts to be close to his mother He grew up playing at Tatnuck CC when Jack Gale was the head pro and graduated from Worcester Academy You kind of feel like you’re over in Scotland,” DeMallie said “That’s where I had my best times with my dad.” Every building on the International campus has been or will be torn down The old clubhouse was demolished in June and July Demolition of the lodge and conference center followed will be torn down after the new clubhouse is built Construction of that new clubhouse between the current clubhouse and where the old clubhouse was is expected to begin next year Cottages will be built for members coming from out of town Celano said the International will remain a private golf club for members and their guests Celano said the International has close to 270 members and that full capacity would be around 500 Celano said 40 percent of members live in the Boston area but some come from the Worcester area as well but Celano said those costs will increase incrementally Celano is director of instruction at Bay Colony GC in North Naples where initiation fee is more than $300,000 He used to teach at Red Tail and Sterling National CC who played junior and college golf against Celano was at the International during the British Open last summer and again last fall Coore visited more often and as recently as in June He worked at East Hampton Golf Club in East Hampton golf academy and fitness center are on the list of potential plans The short course may be built on the site of the closed Twin Springs GC To become a member, contact the membership director Ana Orlov

Victoria Celano’s life reflects her dual passions: social justice and a desire to serve others “I don’t only want to see people’s lives improve,” Celano says “I want to be an active part of challenging the status quo and elevating the social sector’s ability to impact individual’s lives.” From co-chairing Chicago Foundation for Women (CWF): Young Women’s Giving Council to starting a boxing program that mentors at-risk youth Celano is a tireless advocate in her Chicago community “I love being part of a foundation where I can be involved in the grant-making process and support local organizations that focus on freedom from violence “I’m an advocate of CFW’s belief that when you invest in women and girls you invest in a society that works for everyone.” Her interest in the nonprofit sector can be traced her undergraduate years on the Hill where she majored in English with concentrations in biomedical studies and women and gender studies while also launching the St An internship at the Zacharias Sexual Abuse Center (ZCenter) and her work with youth at the YMCA in Northfield inspired her to engage in similar work on a larger scale people ask if it was depressing to go to work at a sexual abuse resource center but you also are witness to the incredible resiliency and strength of survivors of sexual assault — it was an honor to go to work every day,” she says Not only did her work at ZCenter make a difference in the lives of the individuals she met but she also worked diligently to streamline operations which led to tripling the number of clients ZCenter

Hospital in Chicago She is also a part-time graduate student at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business As part of the Career Conversations series, which highlights the paths Oles take after college, she sat down for a conversation with Piper Center for Vocation and Career Associate Director of Alumni Career Services Jenele Grassle I had also seen nonprofit agencies where someone tried to use their business acumen but did not listen to the people in the agency people who had much more institutional knowledge to share They tried to force a cookie-cutter approach to improving efficiency I started business school because I wanted to have the opportunity to meld the social sector space with business acumen to make a bigger impact in the work I am doing The advice I would give to a student or alum who is considering graduate school is to go out into the world and be certain of the type of graduate education you want I would also suggest that if you decide to go back to graduate school It’s one of those great opportunities to learn and to be around people who are different from you One of the biggest reasons I chose the University of Chicago is because they encourage a diversity of opinion They want people to engage in thoughtful discussion If you’d like to read more stories from our Career Conversations series, check out our Alumni Career Services program COLORADO SPRINGS — A Colorado Springs family continues to search for answers about the moments leading up to the murder of two of their sons were shot at Memorial Park Skatepark on the night of November 20 Dominic was pronounced dead-on-scene and Gage died on the way to the hospital Dominic's 12-year-old little brother was shot five times that you could ever imagine," said Marty Celano are pleading for anyone with information involving the shooting to come forward Crime Stoppers is now offering a $5,000.00 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person(s) responsible for Gage and Dominic's deaths "We're gonna do the best we can to get past it but we would like to get answers and every day that goes on we.. The Celanos were having a cookout at Ray's new home The closest skatepark to their home is Memorial Park Ray and the rest of his family had just moved to Colorado Springs two weeks before Dominic and Gage were murdered "Marty and I were about to get up and go look for them and our wives said - No and were immediately rushed to the hospital," said Ray Colorado Springs Police have not released the names of any lead suspects Ray and Marty fear the same tragic loss will happen to another Colorado Springs family while their sons killer(s) remains on the loose We don't want this to happen to anybody else," said Marty If you have any information connected to the Memorial Park Skatepark shooting Report a typo COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- It's been exactly one year since 14-year-old Dominic Celano and 23-year-old Gage Celano were shot and killed at Memorial Park's skatepark Ray Celano, the father of Dominic, said the family is still searching for closure but is trying to remain positive basically from a broken heart because Gage was his only son The Celano family continues to ask for answers and while Colorado Springs Police told KRDO there is no update to the case Ray said police told him the case will not go cold "I know very little about the investigation but I was rest assured by the detectives that there is progress They did tell me that the case will not be a cold case," Ray said Ray is a retired police officer from Hollister CA which makes the agonizing wait for the investigation both more bearable and less at the same time “I’m torn because I want justice now as a victim's family And I am also torn because I was a police officer and I want to be patient and let them do their job — so it’s kind of — it’s frustrating.” The Celano family still asked the public to come forward with any information they may have Ray gave a call to action to any suspects or witnesses directly --"Give yourself up it’s time for you to take responsibility for it." Another victim of that fateful November night was Dominic's younger brother Dylan One year later he still attends doctors appointments three to four times a week and has had eight surgeries The surgeries are aiming to get the nerves in his arms to work again Dylan has an artificial artery now as he was shot five times on his left side hitting his heart and taking away the complete function of his left arm Ray and his wife see Dylan remaining positive and working hard to overcome the unimaginable tragedy “For 30 years I thought I was doing what was right Coming here to spend more time with my family because I spent most of my time at work and not with my family because we had 12-hour shifts So technically being retired I wanted to spend more time with my kids and now that’s taken away from me," Ray said The Celano family is taking each day as it comes and keeping Dominic and Gage's memories alive Ray said he is teaching his family to be more vigilant and keep an eye on their surroundings hoping to prevent anything like this from ever happening again to his family Ray said they are all trying to be grateful for one another but says the pain is the exact same as the day it happened “I’m happy that I have another day with my family I just wish I had another day with this guy right here."

tech expert Kristin Celano created the gameday-inspired clothing brand as a way to redefine what it means to be a female sports fan and she’s redefining #GirlBoss in the process Kristin shared with us her best business advice (hint: it’s different for every single one of us) why she has several different jobs within her company and what she wishes she had done more of in her 20s If you’ve found yourself panic-googling “cheap Mother’s Day gifts” at the eleventh hour CVS has a lineup of under-$25 gifts that are thoughtful and look way more expensive than they actually are and I’m afraid I might be dating myself here I found my first job in the classifieds section in my hometown newspaper doing the backpack-across-Europe trip and then coming home in desperate need of a job There were a few opportunities on the table post-graduation but they just didn’t feel right I landed a marketing job at a start-up that conducted live audience polling at large conferences and business meetings I worked with all kinds of brands from tech to publishing and had the opportunity to travel I was on the road probably fifteen days a month sometimes to exotic locales… and sometimes Minnesota in the middle of winter I got to see college friends living in different cities and became the youngest one of us in the airport sky club where I learned to love marketing and brands All of my professional experiences (successes and failures) have prepared me to lead JaneHudson I took something different away from each one Marketing is the foundation of each of my past roles figuring out what moves them and how to speak to them in an authentic way it’s even more challenging to break through and form a connection because of countless social platforms these challenges also provide opportunities to keep things fresh and exciting What experiences led you to decide to start your own business What interested you about working for yourself I’ve always had a desire to work for myself It’s hard to say where it stemmed from but it was something that was consistently in the back of my mind It is probably a mix of the challenges associated and the true ownership of a brand so it’s exciting to see how your decisions can directly impact an outcome In addition to your desire to start your own business what was it about this particular industry that appealed to you Tell us about your thought process as you decided to start this particular company This is a great question because I really knew next to nothing about manufacturing and production I delved into this industry thinking “how hard could it be.” Well I am self-taught when it comes to sourcing and lean on very capable and generous friends and testing the waters and surveying family and friends allowed me to gain more confidence in the idea the best ideas come from an identified need I lived at the corner of Jane Street and Hudson in NYC’s West Village when I founded the brand The idea was inspired by my personal collegiate experience but it was in my tiny studio apartment where I spent hours researching and figuring out how I could make this a reality We’re looking to redefine “gameday” and what it means to be a female fan The name and the brand embody both spirit and style Who has or have been your biggest supporters throughout this process My biggest supporters have been my family and friends They have supported me from before day 1 — from feedback on my business plan to hosting trunk shows they are my biggest fans and I couldn’t do it without them If you were to go back and start over from the beginning of the entire process what (if anything) would you do differently There have been a few times where I followed the advice of others in the retail industry because “that’s how it is done.” Coming from an entirely different world in media I looked at processes differently than those that live and breathe the retail world I allowed their thoughts to impact my decisions instead of going with my gut What mistakes have you made since your launch There will be mistakes that happen and you can only control what you can I was as Type-A as you get when it came to my career sometimes you are moving so fast that you have to be happy with something at less than perfection but now I know I have to accept that mistakes will happen I spoke with someone recently and they said don’t think of yourself as a small business owner think of your new job title as an everyday problem-solver It feels like every day we’ve had at least a small win A big highlight was being validated by the Southern “bible” (Southern Living) as their new favorite game day dresses Magazine included us in their Annual Entrepreneurship Report I’m very proud of our recent partnership with the women’s site Tuckernuck they are carrying select JaneHudson styles and make as many authentic connections as possible those will be the ones you call on throughout your entire career You function as both CEO and as the social media manager for JaneHudson Why is it important to you to remain so hands-on Will you eventually delegate the social media role I do love being hands-on and being in the trenches is essential when you launch a brand  There is no job too small and no room for ego I look forward to growing the team and becoming an even stronger brand than we are today My goal is to take this brand as far as I can

The ambassadors will promote the university’s four public health pillars When students, faculty and staff return to campus this fall, they’ll find some familiar faces in new roles. Temple is launching the Student Community Health Ambassador program: a group of students trained to encourage people to follow the university’s four public health pillars and help promote a safer campus environment The idea came out of conversations Temple’s staff and student leadership have been having about reopening campus and the best ways to share important health and safety information The ambassadors will be “a dedicated team of students that are out and about on campus that have the same training the same information and the same set of resources so that the campus community is receiving consistent information,” said Kim Celano associate director of the Howard Gittis Student Center Each ambassador will be assigned to one of six zones on campus and keep watch on both indoor and outdoor spaces they can approach these ambassadors to find out maybe where the testing center is or how can they get a free mask,” Celano said The ambassadors won’t enforce anything; their main role is to offer suggestions and advice “They’re going to be using a positive approach,” Celano said If a student or staffer isn’t wearing a face covering an ambassador might approach them and direct them to one of the four locations around campus where people can pick up free masks Ambassadors will also be handing out prize tickets to people wearing masks on campus which they can redeem at the Student Center “We’re definitely very intentional about the positive aspect of it,” Celano said “We don’t want to put the students in any kind of vulnerable position or in a position to confront people We’re not asking them to enforce any kind of policy or report anyone It’s really just the community looking out for the community.” Each ambassador will be trained virtually by campus partners the Department of Campus Safety Services and the Office of Institutional Diversity “They’re going to be learning some scenarios of what to do if certain things happen like what to do if somebody coughs around me “We want them to feel comfortable from a health perspective,” and “give them as much of a well-rounded experience as possible to make them feel comfortable in their roles.”  The ambassadors’ health and safety is a top priority They will be able to take 10 to 15 minute mask breaks in a dedicated space indoors in between shifts The ambassador program also plans to introduce shift leads—students who will help lead the ambassador team—to provide immediate assistance Student Center Operations’ event coordinator for departments checking in with each of them individually over the first few weeks of the program The program hopes to recruit student workers who already have jobs on campus but might not be able to work at the moment because of program cutbacks “They would already have a base layer of training having been an employee on campus,” Celano said and be even better prepared to provide advice and resources Ambassadors might also be eligible for academic credit “We're working with some of the schools and colleges to create internship credit for this program,” Celano said has given Celano and her team feedback on the program as it developed and he feels it’s important that the ambassadors are students helping other students “Given the climate regarding the anti-police sentiment right now,” Litsinger said “it’s important that these responsibilities are [given] not necessarily to police who would enforce it through disciplinary [means] Students also relate to their peers more and might be more inclined to follow instructions given by a fellow Owl “It ties in with [the student] pledge in that it’s creating a campus culture when we all return where folks are respectful of one another,” Litsinger said Training will begin in mid-August and Celano hopes the first ambassadors will be on campus by August 17 “We want students and their families to see these ambassadors and know that there is a dedicated cohort of individuals that are making sure that people are wearing masks and distancing appropriately,” she said “It’s not just somebody’s other duty as assigned Temple Now: The official source for Temple news.Copyright 2015
