In the past six months months, several key administrators have retired, been fired or hired. With these numerous changes in leadership, the state of the university heading into the 2015-2016 academic year is yet to be determined. During the spring recess last week, the hiring of Athletic Director Chris Reynolds, the firing of Coach Geno Ford and the hiring of Registrar Andy Kindler were all announced. Additionally, the antic- ipated announcement of the new executive director of diversity and inclusion should occur early next week, according to Vice President for Student Affairs Nathan Thomas. Search committees for the associate provost for information resources and technology, the provost and the president have yet to bring candi- dates to campus for interviews and open forums.

HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY BY LISA STEMMONS Let’s talk about happiness; that beautiful right that we are guaranteed in the Constitution, which is often the most difficult to achieve. I think it’s interesting that our founding fathers specifically wrote the “pursuit of happiness” because a constant state of happiness is hard to grasp and even harder to hold on to.

Nonetheless, we all continue to strive every day toward some form of happiness. For some, being happy is the ultimate goal and life’s sole purpose. It’s an important concept. And who better to provide insight on it than “Happy” singer himself, Pharrell Williams?

Pharrell briefly spoke to New York students at the United Nations Headquarters on March 20, the International Day of Happiness. He talked about all the opportunities and experiences that his love for songs brought him but, put simply, he had one clear message: Music may have been what brought him happiness, but it is vital to find the trigger that induces laughter and smiles in your own life.

“Happiness is your birthright; it’s a reaction to something or someone or a moment, and you have this birthright, and you have access to that as long as you’re breathing,” Pharrell said.

I realized that it’s the little things that bring me the most joy in my life. There are a million and one how-to find happiness books, but when it comes down to it, I don’t believe this feeling of bliss is something that you merely stumble upon. You find happiness within yourself.

Stop depending on other people, material objects or places as your main source of delight. The only person that is responsible for your happiness is you. Wake up tomorrow with the resolution to be happy and watch the day work wonders.

In 2009, Rob Scahill saw his dream come true. In the eighth round of the 2009 First Year Major League Baseball Player Draft, the Colorado Rockies selected the 6-foot 2-inch right-handed pitcher from Bradley University. Scahill, a Lombard native, was with the Rockies for three sea- sons before being traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates this past off-sea- son. He’s eagerly waiting what’s next in store. “Being traded was kind of like closing a door with the Rockies,” Scahill said. “I’m excited for the new opportunity that has present- ed itself.” Scahill pitched for three years at Bradley and finished with an ERA of 4.70. After missing his sophomore year due to injury, he was a lights-out pitcher for the Braves his junior year. He fanned 79 hitters over 83.2 innings while opposing teams only hit .244. photo via BradleyBraves.com His final year was hampered by an oblique injury, yet his pro- Former Bradley Brave Rob Scahill, shown above pitching for the Tulsa Drillers, the AAA affiliate of the Colorado Rockies.
