BY ANNA DOWNS EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

n Nov. 7, President OKaplan sat down for an in-stu- dio interview with the Charger Bulletin News, conducted by editor-in-chief Anna Downs. The interview covered subjects such as the new Bergami Center for Innovation and Technology as well as housing, and retirement rumors. Q: What can you tell us about the new Bargami Innovation Q: How do you feel the university handled the housing issue from last semester? Will the university Space building? When will it open? continue to offer housing to all students?

A: So, it’s going to be a state of the art academic building, like A: I think we did the best we could. We always do the best we can. I think in the end everyone nothing else certainly in the region or in the state and possibly in learned a little bit about how we can improve the process.

So I think the program we have is one of the best be for every department on campus. It’s going to open in the spring, in the area, and even though there are issues with housing, everyone has issues with housing. It’s like will probably get a certificate of occupancy in February.

Q: pects to become a Division 1 school.

A: Sheahon Zenger is an incredible hire. He is a national figure. He...is very excited about being here. He’s connecting with students, he’s connected with the coaches. He’s showing us how we can improve our athletic program. And if anyone’s going to get us into Division 1, it’ll be him. And we’ll get there, the prospects, I think, are very good. We’ve talked to several conferences... we’re on our way. Q: Where do we stand with the College of Arts and Sciences Dean search? A: We stand right at the edge of completing it. Next week, we have two candidates coming in. And then the week after that, two more, and the week after that, we’ll hope that we’ll have hired someone. It’s a great pool, very good candidates. Q: There have been rumors on campus that you will be retiring. Would you like to give a statement on that?

A: I was just asked this by Ralph DellaCamera, whose name is on the stadium, last night over dinner. I’m 66, and I love my family greatly and want more time with them. But I also love what I’m doing and find it exhilarating. So I’m very torn as to retirement. What our board has allowed me to do is take longer vacations in the summer, and have more time with my family. And as long as I can do that, I frankly don’t know when I’ll stop doing this because it’s an incredible student body, faculty and staff.

ormer U.S. presidential candidateF Beto O’Rourke vis- ited Newtown on Oct. 30, and talked about gun violence. (O’Rourke dropped out of the presidential race two days after the event. The New York Times reported that O’Rourke with- drew from the race because of a lack of funding.) Local gun law activists coor- dinated with O’Rourke’s team to bring him to Connecticut. “It’s an opportunity for our community members and activists who have been involved in the movement since the Sandy Hook tragedy to interact with a presidential candidate that has put forth very comprehensive goals, strategies to end gun violence,” said Po Murray, chairwoman of Newtown Action Alliance. O’Rourke agreed to support several proposals as a candidate. Those included creating an office of gun violence prevention and nationalizing Ethan’s law, a safe storage law. He also touched on systemic issues in the country. “We’re never going to be able to address the root causes of the problems that we see.” said O’Rourke. “Know that whether I am the candidate or the nominee, or private citizen in West Texas, I am with you every single step of the way until we fully and finally address these challenges.” Photo By Anna Downs/ The Charger Bulletin November 13, 2019 Page 6 NEWS University of New Haven Students Participate in Documenting City-Wide Open Studios immersive experience for our BY ANNA DOWNS students.” EDITOR-IN-CHIEF The theme for this year’s City- Wide Open Studios was “Older But Younger.” It showcased installations that explored topics rtspace’s City-Wide of youth and longevity.

Calling on Student Volunteers Aunt Vicky’s Registration Tips

BY VICTORIA CAGLEY COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT EDITOR 1. Breathe. It might feel like the world is ending but it’s not, and you’re going to get through this.

2. Put your pin number and CRNs in a text document on your computer to make registration faster. That way, all you have to do is copy and paste instead of writing out all those pesky numbers.

3. Register for your most high-demand classes first, meaning the classes that have few seats left and you want to make sure you get in.

4. Keep checking how many seats are left in the classes that you want so you can plan accord- ingly.

5. Use websites like coursicle.com to map out your schedule timing and help you organize how your week will look in spring 2020.

[email protected] or dm us on our account 6. Ask someone for help, whether it’s your advisor, a friend, an upperclassman, or a professor. the_real_collegelife. Just ask what is on your mind. Most likely, someone else is going through the same thing you are.
