But, just as Block Party offers were being sent, Performing Arts contracts turning. In March, we were told the rest of the semester would be held online and all events would be cancelled due to COVID-19. Of course, we were not alone in this. Everything from Coachella to Broadway shows have been cancelled or postponed, but the sad reality was that these events were meant to culminate four years of hard work for so many dedicated UU seniors. our own organization, some deserving closure, joy and entertainment. Jonathan Van Ness and beautiful vocals and a hilarious DJ’s on the Hill shoutout, and Kaytranada turned banana bread- organization of resilient leaders who did not take “no” or “cancelled” for an answer. 5 Thank you to Lauren Crimmins for pushing this organization to systematically improve the way we operate. You have both personally and professionally helped me become a better leader and human. Although our last UU moments were shared via FaceTime, I am so incredibly proud of how we overcame this year’s challenges. digital programming. All of the alumni comments on our Instagram announcements, livestream commentary and personal texts and emails never go unnoticed. On a personal note, I hope you are all staying safe and sane in your corner of the world. It is a scary time to be someone who lives for the magic of live events. But, I am excited and humbled to be entering this incredible alumni network made up of people who I know feel similarly.

ANNA SIMONE 6 letter from the vice president We say it every year, but the 2019-2020 academic year proved that there is never a dull moment within University Union. With both Schine and the Dome under renovation, it left University Union numerous artist cancellations, rescheduled shows and a global pandemic which forced every in- person event to be cancelled, I could not be more proud of the Board of Directors and members of UU who persevered and continued to provide Syracuse University with top-tier programming. Overseeing this organization with President Anna Simone has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my college career. This year’s challenges could not have been overcome without every member's dedication, but especially without Anna’s resiliency. She has taught me, and the settle.

  • Summer 2021 | Commemorative Program Welcome
    Summer 2021 | Commemorative Program Welcome The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Leadership Foundation and the National Association of Broadcasters welcome you to the 2021 Celebration of Service to America Awards. Every day, local radio and television stations provide a critical public service by delivering essential news, weather and entertainment their communities rely on every day, as well as a lifeline during times of crisis. When the mics and cameras turn off, these stations continue their good work through charitable efforts and service to their communities. This year was no exception as our finalists devoted 3,528 hours of airtime to public service and addressed the unique challenges of COVID-19 within their communities. In total, more than $43,440,000 worth of funds and donations were raised to support local charities across the country to help fight hunger, fill gaps in education and provide support to local businesses and charities. The importance and impact of broadcasting has never been greater. While we cannot celebrate in person this year, we are thankful for the support of our broadcasting community and Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution as we recognize the work and share the stories of our fellow broadcasters. We are honored that the 23rd annual Celebration of Service to America Awards will once again be broadcast across the country by local radio and television stations as a special one-hour awards ceremony featuring celebrity guests, past honorees and policymakers beginning July 10 through August 14. Emmy award-winning host Tamron Hall and other celebrity guests will honor local radio and television stations and community leaders like Lin-Manuel Miranda for their unwavering commitment to the communities they serve.

  • Virality Project Weekly Briefing #10 February 24, 2021 - March 2, 2021
    Virality Project Weekly Briefing #10 February 24, 2021 - March 2, 2021 This report was created by analysts from the Virality Project, a coalition of disinformation research entities focused on real-time detection, analysis, and response to COVID-19 anti-vaccine mis- and disinformation. The Virality Project aims to support information exchange between public health officials, government, and social media platforms through weekly briefings and real-time incident response. Public officials and health organizations interested in officially joining this collaboration can reach the partnership at [email protected]. In this briefing: Events This Week ● Twitter vaccine policy updates ● Johnson and Johnson’s “66% efficacy” ● Pfizer negotiations over liability with other countries ● Alternative COVID-19 treatments ● Death of Lawrence Ferlinghetti Non-English Language ● Celebrities Spreading Conspiracies in Spanish and Foreign Spotlight ● Reject a Vaccine in Sign Language ● Vaccine causing Breast Cancer Symptoms ● Israeli Anti-Vaxxers on Vaccine Passports ● Russia Promoting Sputnik V to US audiences online Ongoing Themes and ● Notable vaccine injury stories Tactics ● Misusing scientific articles ● Key Statistics Key Takeaways ● We applaud Twitter for announcing clear, concrete policies that we believe will equip Twitter with effective tools to combat mis- and disinformation related to COVID-19 vaccines. We will continue to observe how these policies are enforced. ● Continued confusion about vaccine efficacy statistics can be used to reduce confidence in the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, so proactive efforts to clarify these numbers are important. ● Anti-vaxxers continue to exploit confusion about pharmaceutical companies’ COVID-19 vaccine liability to fuel doubts about COVID-19 vaccine safety. This effort attempts to make people believe that manufacturers are not incentivized to ensure the vaccine is safe.

  • ENGAGE Inelegant Engagement Workshop Report
    ENGAGE 2019 INELEGANCE AND WHY WE MIGHT DESIRE IT WORKSHOP REPORT Bentley Crudgington ABSTRACT In founding Gay Men’s Health Crisis (GMHC) and the AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power (ACT-UP), Larry Kramer created two of the earliest centrally organised examples of health research engagement and public and patient involvement. These activists were not rejecting the research itself but denouncing its “elegant” nature. What would inelegant engagement look like and why might we desire it? What would it look like if we acted up and queered engagement, lavishing our time, skills, creativity and resources on the public and not researchers? This participatory workshop will explore these possibilities to produce an inelegant manifesto of change. FORMAT As an introduction to the concept of inelegance, and why we might desire it, we considered some of the inventions used by ACT UP and compared them with two current areas of social theory. We borrowed from queer theory and visual culture analysis to consider how we, as engagement professionals, frame our invitations, construct our publics and operate within institutional structures. We used these experiences to identify what systems need to be in place and which barriers need managing to allow us to become inelegant. We reviewed these ideas together and clustered them into emerging themes. We then named each cluster with an action to create an inelegant manifesto. This report summarises what we learnt together. In January 1982, Larry Kramer, a New York based writer, held a gathering of around eighty gay men at his apartment to discuss the emerging reports of a “gay cancer”.
