A Playing in front of a huge audience in an auditorium can be nerve-wracking, but the sense of pride Vongsavath felt sitting alongside well-known Twitch streamer Dr DisRespect during his bout of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds was a powerful motivator, Vongsavath said via Discord voice and text chat. “It was a great experience, though being able to use their rigs to play the favorite games I play on a daily basis while someone is commentating on our play style and how we did,” he said. “It fills you with pride when you get a kill in a battle royale game and the commentator hypes up said kill.” For students like Vongsavath, the pillars of school spirit and competition descend onto a digital playing field though the UT Arlington Esports organization.

Wellness started adapting to his new life on campus. He said he struggled a lot at the beginning and had a difficult time understanding the professors. “I wanted to go home,” he said. “When I come here, I know nothing.” While going off to college can be exciting, being away from familiar people and surroundings can lead to homesickness, particularly among international stu- dents whose first language wasn’t English and don’t know anyone on campus, Hua said. On top of being far away from his country, Hua said the hardest part for him was not leaving his family, but his girlfriend of one year. Because travel is expensive, Hua said he can see his girlfriend only twice a year. He said maintaining a long-distance relationship has been hard on him, because they can’t express physical affection, but he still finds ways to communicate with her. “I need to wake up at 8 every day, no matter if I have class or not, because that time in China is about 9 p.m.,” Hua said. For broadcast sophomore Justin Hidalgo, moving from a small town to come to UTA was a big shock. He said he was scared and nervous when he first moved to college. Having the comfort of his mom and the slow pace of a small town are some of things he misses the most. “It was kind of crazy being among so many different people on a huge campus,” he said. “You learn as you go, and you kind of pick up on how to handle things.” The thought of being lonely and not having any friends can be scary for some students. Some ways students can make their transitions to college better is getting involved in one of the organizations around campus, Hidalgo said. “It gets better, for sure, even though you feel like you are going to be alone all of college, or that you’re ▶ not going to make any friends, because I was definitely there,” Hidalgo said. “It may be rough in the begin- Jie Hua, aerospace engineering graduate student, video chats his girlfriend, Jie Zhang, using ning, but just stick through it.” WeChat inside of his home June 9 at Centennial Court apartments.

ollege campuses are some of the most prevalent locations for domestic violence and sexual assault. One in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience domestic violence in theirC lifetime. For sexual assault, the numbers fall to 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men, according to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center. Criminal justice junior Madison Moro said she talked to girls in col- lege affected by domestic violence who

wished they knew of the resources avail- Wellness able. It’s important to let those affected know that they have people and resourc- es available for them, Moro said. According to rainn.org, the Rape Abuse & Incest National Network, the chances of students getting sexually as- saulted increase when they enter college. UTA offers students multiple re- sources to educate and help those affect- ed through the Relationship Violence and Sexual Assault Prevention program on campus. These include online chat boxes, 24-hour helplines, local services and shelters. “The most important steps I think that we can take to prevent sexual as- sault are really to recognize that it’s a pervasive problem in society and on college campuses as well. And we can support each other,” said Rachel Voth Schrag, social work assistant professor. Voth Schrag said some of the red flags of abusive relationships are when one person tries to monitor the other’s movements, who they talk to, how they dress or what they can do. Kiva Harper, social work assistant professor, said students can help friends being abused by believing them, lis- tening without judgement and leading them to a professional who can help. Harper said the best way for students to prevent sexual assault and violence is to take an active role in the safety of themselves and others. She said another way would be working with campus pro- grams such as the Relationship Violence and Sexual Assault Prevention program and Mavs StandUp to learn more about personal safety and activism. 

CF: So for me, my most impactful story was actually my first print cover, like front page story, and it was about these two ladies. They are graduate students on campus. They’re entrepreneurs, and they have their own company where they make these STEM-related kits for children. They do this, and they teach summer camps and after school programs. They take a group of 10 kids and have them build things with straws, paper, tape and toothpicks, just do little experiments where they can have fun and put their minds to the test.
