The Chair Of The Ursinus Board Of Trustees Has A Twitter, And It's Horrifying
Ursinus College

On July first, a man named Michael Marcon, class of 1986 alumnus and Equity Risk Partners CEO, became the Chair of the Board of Trustees at Ursinus. As a generally liberal campus, or at least one that makes an effort to respect all people, one would think that our board—and espe

cially its Chairman—would

reflect those values. Or, at the very least, make his public social media accounts not openly degrading to almost every single demographic. Here's the evidence that proves otherwise:

1. This image, which isn't at all sarcastic:


2. This tweet that apparently doesn't understand modern diverse cultures at all.


3. This link to a Ben Carson speech.


4. Because apparently, he's too good to wait in line like everyone else.


5. And he's also now the Selfie Police.


6. An obvious demonstration of serious anti-liberalism and potential racism. Is it really that "insane" that an incumbent president got reelected? Is it?


7. Well, if this isn't classism, generalizing, and a whole bunch of other stuff, I don't know what is.


8. THIS IS TEXTBOOK SEXISM, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.



9. Aaand outright fat shaming. Lovely.

10. Are you? Are you really more important than EVERY other person on the road?


11. Don't you just love violence?


12. Apparently the entire government doesn't understand how the economy works as well as he does. And the country doesn't need funding to run.


13. Because women should shut up.

14. Just...what?


15. That's definitely how it works.


17. Political protests are now "ironic."


18. And, for good measure, another solid dose of body shaming.


This man is the Chairman of the Board. This is not a drill.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
