Upon graduation, there are still a number of students who have yet to secure a job. Below are ways for students to improve their social media as they search for a position.

LinkedIn

Many use this platform to network, but a common mistake is not having their profile completed. Having a completed profile and including your interests and achievements are a great way to catch the eye of a future employer.

Facebook

This platform may be the first social media a graduate has ever had, which is why they need to search it and find if their current values align with everything posted.

 It can be easy to forget something is posted online, which is why a good review of your account could prove to be beneficial. 

Additionally, don’t be afraid to update your followers on all your relevant life and job prospects. It could impress a future employer to see such a dedicated person. 

Instagram

Be engaging. Some employers may be looking for consistency in the graduate’s hobbies or involvements depending on your job prospects.

 It never hurts to brag a little. While you don’t have to post every day, a good consistency could include monthly posts.

Twitter

Share your ideas and make sure to keep them relevant. It can be easy to type out a tweet and send it out onto the internet, but it is important to think twice before posting. 

Make sure that your online presence is something that impresses future employers rather than deters them.

General Tips

Be yourself and be genuine. It can be daunting for many graduates in their job search, but many other students go through the same path. Reach out to your professors for letters of recommendation. Don’t be afraid to use connections with friends or former classmates, start a personal blog/website and make it fun. Good luck.

A sign posted on the front door warns visitors: “DON’T ENTER.” 

A decrepit building tucked behind Haygood Hall, Dooley’s Tavern appears to be forgotten by Emory University’s Oxford community. The white paint has been chipped away by time, exposing the building’s wood scaffolding. Most windows are boarded up, and entrances are locked.  

A glance inside the cracked window adds to the atmosphere: The tavern’s walls, floors and furniture are covered in graffiti drawn by decades’ worth of Oxford College students.

The seemingly abandoned and forbidden nature of Dooley’s Tavern makes it a source of great intrigue for the current Oxford cohort of students, who never got to experience the tavern before it closed in 2019.

“Dooley’s tavern has always been a mystery,” Max Migdon (23Ox) said. “It’s very degraded, and its purpose was never explained to us. We see the signs saying we can’t go in and are very curious as to what it is. What’s the point in keeping its existence and purpose a secret?”

The Wheel sat down with Oxford leaders and alunni to discuss the past and future of this mysterious spot on campus. 

Tavern history

Dooley’s Tavern was once attached to Haygood Hall, the first residence hall built at Oxford in 1913. The main section of the building burned down in 1981 and was replaced by the current Haygood Hall in 1989. The tavern became unattached to Haygood following the fire.

According to Oxford Dean of Campus Life Joseph Moon, Dooley’s Tavern originally served as Oxford’s only dining hall. Food was prepared in the upstairs kitchens.

During the early 20th century, the College had approximately 300 male students who utilized the dining hall. Food was sent down from the kitchens in a dumbwaiter, and servers would bring it to the tables. Students would serve themselves family style.

According to Moon, the tavern continued to operate as a dining hall until 1966, when a new cafeteria was built under the leadership of Neil Bond Fleming, who served as Oxford College Dean from 1966 to 1976.

After remaining unused for several years, Oxford administration gave students permission to remodel the former cafeteria. When it became known as Dooley’s Tavern is unknown by the campus historians. 

The tavern has been used for many different purposes over the years, Moon explained. The kitchen space was transformed into a maintenance area before being deemed unusable and unfixable prior to COVID-19.

“In a way, the tavern is very much vintage Oxford,” Moon said. “Its usage depended a lot on the students who were here and what they wanted.”

According to Kipling Hart (94Ox, 96C), the tavern was known as “Dooley’s Den” throughout the late 1960s, and served as a space for students to play bridge and engage in other relaxing activities.  

In 1972, the Georgia state government lowered the legal drinking age to 18. In his book “An Uncommon Place,” which explores Oxford’s history, Moon explained that Dean Fleming had no choice but to permit drinking for students of age, prompting a new party scene to emerge. 

Recalling Dooley’s Tavern as a primary location for parties, Tom Dean (79Ox, 81C) described live band performances and noted that it was the only place on campus where keg parties were permitted, unless a dorm had a document signed by every resident. Sometimes student bands would host free BYOB concerts.

The tavern was typically “filled with smoke,” Dean added. Georgia’s legal tobacco usage age was 18 until 2020, and smoking was a much more normalized habit in the 1970s, he said.

Michael Silverio (96Ox, 98C) also recalled themed parties in the tavern, including toga and “come in your boxers” nights.

“Every college should have a hole in the wall type of place,” Silverio said. “Dooley’s Tavern is that place for Oxford.”

Paula Joy Zwillich (08Ox, 10C) also shared fond memories of tavern parties from a decade later. 

“Because of the location of Dooley’s Tavern toward the edge of campus, going to events there almost felt like you were going off-campus,” Zwillich said. “We all loved to explore its interior full of character and Oxford history. There was graffiti everywhere.”

The tavern wasn’t just used for partying.

Dooley’s Dolls, Oxford’s oldest social club, developed a connection to the tavern and held weekly tap-ins, the social club’s term for pledging, there.

Though the origins of the Dolls’ connection to the tavern are unknown, Hart, who was a Dooley’s Doll, recalls the tavern as “the Dolls’ space,” where they would host parties and clean-up events inside. 

 Additionally, the tavern walls are covered with decades’ worth of Dolls’ names that were painted on. 

“Adding names was a way for Dolls to leave their respective mark,” Hart said. “The names also continue to serve as a historical mark on the tavern.”

Over the years, other student groups also used the space. Throughout the 2000s, it served as an informal study, social and game space, operating as a student center before the current one opened in 2020. 

In the latter half of the 2000s, the Student Activities Committee (SAC) moved their weekly coffee nights to the tavern. According to Zwillich, the coffeehouses were extremely popular, featuring free coffee, board games and the opportunity to take a study break.

(Katie Bartlett/Oxford Campus Desk)

Zwillich was a member of SAC and worked the coffee nights.

“Working the coffeehouse events is where I learned how to use an espresso machine and foam milk,” Zwillich said. “I’m still impressed that our coffeehouse events were legit enough to have both of those things.”

As Oxford’s student body grew, the tavern rules became stricter.

Typically 20% of the student body attended campus-wide events, Moon said. When Oxford’s student body was 500 students in 1988, 20% was 50 people, a number that can fit comfortably in the tavern. 

However, Oxford grew gradually each decade. When numbers reached 750 students and now 1,000 students, the population outgrew the tavern space, resulting in more regulations for tavern events.

“We got to the place where you could no longer just sign up to use the tavern,” Moon said. “You had to have a very clear plan.”

The tavern today

Moon explained that in 2019, maintenance staff conducted a tavern safety evaluation. It was ultimately deemed safe, but remained closed when the 2019 student center construction knocked out the tavern’s power grid, according to Operations and Student Organizations Associate Director Michaela Foronda. It never reopened due to COVID-19 restrictions. 

Curious students have found illicit ways to get into the tavern.

One student (23Ox) and his friends discovered the tavern unlocked in March, and entered to explore and contribute to the spray painted walls. The student requested anonymity to avoid punishment for entering and vandalizing the tavern without permission. 

“The school should tell us more about Dooley’s Tavern, what its purpose was and why they closed it,” the student said. “It would’ve eliminated some of our curiosity.”

(Katie Bartlett/Oxford Campus Desk)

Emory Police Department (EPD) cars are often parked outside the tavern, particularly on weekend nights as a “proactive monitoring” measure following this increase in vandalism inside the tavern, EPD Lieutenant Lionel Randall said. As of April 21, there have been no arrests inside the tavern, Randall added.

While the tavern has been closed for a few years and a new student center has since opened, Director of Student Involvement and Leadership Rhiannon Hubert said in an April 20 email to the Wheel that she wants to reevaluate the tavern’s usability over the summer in hopes of preparing it for programming during the school year.

“It has such a distinctive quality and would be a nice addition to event spaces on campus,” Hubert added. 

Moon also emphasized his desire for the tavern to reopen next semester as a student programming space.

“It’s a grungy, cool space with a lot of atmosphere,” Moon said. “We’re not trying to keep students out, but we need to have guidelines to ensure the space is being used safely and appropriately.”

According to First Year Senator Amisha Agrawal (23Ox), Oxford Student Government Association (OxSGA) also plans to advocate for a Dooley’s Tavern revival in the upcoming year. Agrawal stated that “there are no guarantees,” but one of OxSGA’s legislative committees will likely work on the proposal.

Although the tavern has been a historic hub for Oxford student life, Moon said that the tavern will not be on campus forever, deeming its eventual demolishment “inevitable.” He explained that the tavern’s “function has largely gone away” because the new student center now serves as the primary social space on campus. 

(Katie Bartlett/Oxford Campus Desk)

He also said that administration is hesitant to invest in the tavern because it will eventually impede on long term plans to build a new residence hall behind Haygood, where the mods, a temporary housing unit designed to support Oxford’s larger student body, currently stand. The mods will be removed after the next academic year. Plans and construction for new residence halls take several years to develop, and Moon said there is no timeline set yet.

“At some point, we’ll have to decide whether the tavern is fulfilling a certain mission and should be replicated or whether it’s just lived out its usefulness,” Moon said. “At this moment, the answer to that is very unclear.”

Alumni opinions on the importance of the tavern vary.

Dean believes the tavern may no longer be relevant due to new facilities on campus.

Zwillich, on the other hand, believes the tavern should reopen for coffee nights, remembering the coffeehouses of her time at Oxford as a space for “community building.”

Silverio agreed that the tavern should reopen. He told the Wheel it should be “loud and crowded” again with late night events and live music. 

“Students need to build memories at Oxford beyond academics, and Dooley should have a home on Oxford’s campus,” Siverio said. 

Three students interviewed by the Wheel also hope to see Dooley’s tavern reopen.

“Reopening Dooley’s Tavern would be a great way to revitalize Oxford’s campus, as COVID restrictions have quieted the campus social life for the past few years,” Reaghan Moore (23Ox) said. “The tavern has such a mysterious and fun atmosphere that doesn’t exist anywhere else on campus.”

(Katie Bartlett/Oxford Campus Desk)

While the future of Dooley’s Tavern remains ambiguous, Moon emphasized its vital role on campus.

“Oxford students have changed a lot over the years,” Moon said. “Since the 90s, we’ve become a lot more diverse and our international student population has increased.” What I love about the tavern is that it continuously changes to reflect the current student body.”

For now, Oxford students will continue to press their faces against the glass and imagine their own version of Dooley’s Tavern.

Cal loses to North Carolina State in sweet 16 to end postseason

Antonio Martin/Senior Staff

Following an accomplished regular season, Cal women’s tennis ended a short-but-sweet postseason run Saturday. Coming off the back of becoming regular season’s Pac-12 champions — with an 18-7 record in the spring — the Bears had hoped to continue their run in the NCAA national championship.

And Cal looked promising by winning the first two rounds at home against NAU and Texas Tech — but the team was bested by No. 6 North Carolina State 4-0 in Raleigh, leaving the tournament in the sweet 16.

“This was a very different level. We made the sweet 16 last year, but this match we were very close to having it go in our favor,” said Cal head coach Amanda Augustus. “I’m very, very proud of what this team did.”

The Bears had a very successful season in doubles. Early in the semester, some of the teams were struggling to win points for dual doubles, leading the coaching team to reshuffle the pairs.

For most of the season, juniors Haley Giavara and Valentina Ivanov played together on court one. Playing alongside junior Erin Richardson earlier in the season, freshman Jessica Alsola joined fellow freshman Katja Wiersholm in a very strong pairing. Richardson played instead on court three with senior Julia Rosenqvist.

Against North Carolina State, however, doubles proved more difficult. Augustus remarked that the opposing team had barely lost a doubles point all season, establishing it as a tough opponent from the start.

Giavara and Ivanov were the first to fall, losing out 6-3 on court one. Richardson and Rosenqvist swiftly followed, posting the same score and handing the NC State Wolfpack the doubles point.

“We could have executed our serve and returns better. They had a strong serve game which got them through an advantage pretty much immediately, and it was hard to break them,” Rosenqvist said. “Despite it being a loss, it was truly an honor for me to play with (Erin).”

The singles seemed to prove just as tough. Coming into the match with a 25-5 record, the NC State Wolfpack was ready to play.

Richardson and Hannah Viller Moeller were the first two out, with the former posting a loss of 6-2, 6-1, and the latter coming in 6-0, 6-1. Rosenqvist fell to opposition Priska Nugroho at 7-6, 6-1. The NC State Wolfpack therefore clinched at 4-0, earning a spot in the NCAA quarterfinals in Urbana, Illinois next week.

Losing a first-set tiebreaker can be of either great help or immense detriment — allowing a player to restart a game and mindset or break flow and confidence. Rosenqvist said it was tough to lose the tiebreaker, as the loss also took with it some of her strategy.

“She was a tough opponent in a way where she was better when you were pushing her around rather than when she had control over the point,” Rosenqvist said. “I like to play aggressive, and she was the better player when she got pulled out wide; when she got the pressure on her.”

Three singles matches were left unfinished after the clinch. On court four, Wiersholm was on track to go into a third set, losing the first 2-6 yet taking the second 6-4. On court two, Alsola was in the middle of a second set, having dropped the first 5-7 and ending at 2-3. Giavara on court one was trailing 7-5, 4-1 when the match was abandoned.

Despite the loss, the team has had many accomplishments during the past season. Losing to a top-10 team in the sweet 16 is certainly an honorable way to finish out the season.

Members of the coaching team said they were very proud of what the team has accomplished, and they now look ahead at the individual championships starting May 23 where Giavara — the only Bear in the main draw — will be vying for a deep run and a go at a U.S. Open wildcard.

The ever-present STEM versus Humanities and Liberal Arts debate makes for a less-than-memorable college experience for many. Although both STEM and non-STEM disciplines will prove essential in the workforce, STEM receives an exorbitant amount of funding. 

The Biden-Harris administration recently dedicated a budget of $1.38 billion to STEM education in 2023. But considering that STEM made up only 23% of the United States labor force in 2019, disproportionate funding sends an inauspicious message about the perceived value of other occupations.

STEM has also historically excluded marginalized communities. The American Education Research Association observes that “STEM education and occupations were designed to attract White men who were heterosexual, able-bodied, Christian or atheist, and middle-class or above.”

A culture that values STEM above all other educational disciplines and occupations maintains institutional racism, perpetuates misogyny and devalues working-class labor.

Institutional Racism

Despite its reputation as objective, the roots of STEM lie in racism. Discriminatory standards and practices persist as we fight to dismantle the violent ideologies that remain printed in our textbooks. This isn’t to say that non-STEM fields aren’t racist — early philosophers like Aristotle famously supported slavery, saying the enslaved did “not have the intellectual capabilities to rule themselves.”

But these fields criticize and contradict the discriminatory beliefs of their figures. Fields like gender studies can recognize Betty Friedan for her impact on reproductive rights and “The Feminine Mystique,” while still criticizing her racism, homophobia and trans-exclusive radical feminism.

Art and writing serve as tools for racial equity as they praise those who challenge the status quo. Non-STEM fields aren’t given billions by the federal government or targeted for military use.

Holding STEM fields above others creates a culture of exclusion that keeps marginalized workers from accessing high-paying fields. The emphasis on academia and STEM creates a standard known as the Achievement Gap which creates, “an association between students of color and poor achievement, which may feed racist stereotypes about these students and their communities.”

The false implication that survival in STEM is based on intelligence ignores the impact of ethnic and racial discrimination in higher education. Weaponizing meritocracy against those who succeed in STEM, specifically the Model Minority Myth, not only harms the Asian American community but encourages discrimination towards other ethnic and racial minoritized groups. People of color, especially Black students in non-STEM fields, report lower degrees of discrimination, with Black women reporting higher levels of academic satisfaction. 

When we place fields that maintain racism on a pedestal, we simultaneously allow the persistence of other forms of discrimination.

Perpetuating Misogyny

In 2019, females received around 62% of degrees awarded in Liberal Arts and Humanities. This data excludes trans experiences, but it establishes that women make up the majority of non-STEM majors.

When women do make it into STEM, they have to fight against misogyny. Still, women make up 34% of STEM occupations in the U.S. despite making up more than 46.7% of the workforce.. They remain undervalued in STEM. 

By belittling the importance of non-STEM occupations, we belittle the significance of women’s education and labor. Labor isn’t limited to paid careers, with women carrying out more than two and a half times more unpaid domestic labor than men. The ambitions and labor of women are essential to the function of the U.S. economy and households. We harm ourselves by devaluing non-STEM fields and subsequently, devaluing women.

Devaluing Working-Class Labor

STEM occupations make up less than a fourth of the U.S. labor force while the jobs’ inflated values leave behind the working class. STEM fields provide some of the highest-paying jobs in the U.S. labor force. But working-class jobs, consisting of laborers without college degrees, barely make a living wage. Workers of color make up an increasing sector of the working class, specifically Black and Latine workers. 

Devaluing working-class labor undermines the skills of workers and bars them from higher wages and better benefits. Working-class jobs don’t receive the same perks that STEM jobs do. While tech employees get free food and paid parental leave in addition to high salaries, working-class employees struggle against union-busting to access livable wages. And with the cost of college rising, it gets harder for the working class to get the education necessary to obtain STEM jobs and benefits.

My family and I have been working-class our entire lives, and this only recently changed. As someone with a STEM career, liberal arts connections and background in the working class myself, I’ve witnessed the effects of the STEM superiority complex of my tech peers. I urge everyone to recognize the worth of other fields. In order to make real progress, we must stop assuming the superiority of a discipline that actively contributes to systemic oppression.

BU Softball returns to the Patriot League Championship after a walk-off victory against Colgate in game one and a one-hit performance by Allison Boaz against Lehigh in game two.

The National Labor Relations Board certified a unanimous vote to unionize interns, residents and fellows at the USC Keck School of Medicine Friday. Eligible workers at Keck will now be represented by the Committee of Interns and Residents/Service Employees International Union, the largest housestaff union in the United States that represents more than 20,000 resident physicians and fellows.

The CIR/SEIU released a petition March 10, signed by a “supermajority” of 85 interns, fellows and residents, calling on Keck to formally recognize their union.

“We’re on the frontlines every day yet cannot negotiate the terms and conditions we work under or advocate for ourselves,” said Drew Sheldon, pulmonary disease and critical care medicine fellow at Keck, in a CIR/SEIU press release March 9. “We’re demanding that USC/Keck respect our right to freely join our union colleagues in having a fair contract and a voice at work.”

CIR/SEIU stated in its press release that Keck housestaff “receive unequal compensation, benefits, and protections compared to their [LAC+USC Medical Center] counterparts,” who were already being represented by the union.

“We’re doing the exact same work yet see ourselves go without the kind of support our colleagues are rightly afforded,” said Eduardo Fernandez, hematology and medical oncology fellow at Keck, in the press release. “Why are we treated differently?”

On April 5, the NLRB announced that full-time and part-time interns, residents, chief residents and fellows at Keck were eligible to vote for or against union representation. Eligible voters mailed ballots from April 13 to 20.

On May 4, 56 votes were tallied: fifty-three for, zero against and three void.

“Working in a broken healthcare system and increased cost of living in our city, it was clear to me and my colleagues that joining the union was the only way we’d have a path toward real change in our residency program,” said Fernandez in a statement to the Daily Trojan Friday. “The fact that we unanimously won our election, with not a single voter in opposition, shows just how committed we are to improving residency and patient care and USC/Keck.”

The decision comes as the cost of living in Los Angeles rose 7.59% in the last two years — causing USC faculty to demand salary raises in an open letter to University administration issued February. CIR/SEIU also noted in its press release a “national trend” of housestaff seeking to unionize, citing its petitions against Stanford Health Care and the University of Vermont Medical Center, which have both since culminated in NLRB certifications.

In a statement to the Daily Trojan Friday, the University said it supports “the rights of our employees to choose whether they want to join a union.”

“We appreciate the residents’ decision and greatly value their partnership in delivering quality health care to patients across Los Angeles County,” the University statement read.

Artificial intelligence (AI) savant Anant Madabhushi will join the Emory University School of Medicine in July, where he will establish an institute that researches AI to improve patient outcomes and address health inequities. 

Madabhushi’s recruitment comes as the University expands its research into AI. The Office of the Provost’s artificial intelligence initiative, AI.Humanity, plans to hire 50 to 60 faculty members over the next three to five years to enrich the University’s interdisciplinary exploration of AI through lenses of health, social justice, business, economics and entrepreneurship, the humanities and arts and beyond. 

Working at Case Western Reserve University (Ohio) since 2012, Madabhushi has served as both the Donnell Institute Professor of Biomedical Engineering as well as the founding director of Case Western’s Center for Computational Imaging and Personalized Diagnostics. Madabhushi has authored hundreds of peer-reviewed articles and holds hundreds of patents.

At Emory, Madabhushi will hold a primary appointment in the department of biomedical engineering and secondary appointments in the departments of radiology and imaging sciences, biomedical informatics and pathology.

“I am really excited about this opportunity and am hoping to make an impact,” Madabhushi said. “I have been touched by the huge support and reaction [from Emory] I have already seen. I am getting the platinum level service of southern hospitality here.” 

Madabhushi develops artificial intelligence to inform diagnosis, treatment and prognosis for patients with cancer and other diseases. He specifically works to identify and tackle racial health disparities by studying and applying data from minority populations, which have been historically left out of medical studies. 

In 2020, Madabhushi gained recognition for his use of AI analysis to find cellular differences in the cancer tissue of white and Black prostate cancer patients. 

“If there are differences [in disease phenotype between different races], then taking an AI model that was developed using a majority white population is not going to translate very well to a Black man with prostate cancer because there is not enough representation of those patients,” Madabhushi said.

Looking ahead, Madabhushi wants to collaborate with clinicians at Emory to utilize the technologies developed by his team. 

“To me, the ‘what next’ is about impact,” Madabhushi said. “You can do all the research in the world but unless you are deliberately thinking about how the technology can move forward into clinical deployment, it is not really that satisfying.” 

In addition to potentially collaborating with Emory Healthcare, Madabhushi said he is impressed by Emory’s commitment to social justice and diversity. Madabhushi also plans to collaborate with Morehouse School of Medicine (Ga.), a historically Black college, in addressing health inequities.

“The big vision is to establish a mecca for AI in health,” Madabhushi said. “There is a great opportunity in Emory and Atlanta.” 

In a Feb. 17 press release, Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs Ravi V. Bellamkonda wrote that the University is “delighted” to welcome Madabhushi.

“Anant Madabhushi is an innovative scholar and doer, a true visionary whose bold ideas in the use of AI to improve human health will be foundational to our goals of expanding Emory’s education and research community in this arena,” Bellamkonda said.
