Nothing says Valentine’s Day
like heart eyes emoji and MoJo
Cookies.
When the temperatures were
higher than normal in January,
many believed the weather would
get back to normal soon.
Winter months at the
University of Michigan normally
consist of below-freezing
temperatures and a lot of snow.
But here, in the middle of
February, some might say Spring
Break has arrived early.
Many students have expressed
their appreciation of the sunny
days. The Michigan Students
account wrote on Twitter, “Ann
Arbor’s sunshine and clear, blue
skies is making me feel all kinds of
happy today!”
Despite a positive reaction to
the warmth, a new study led by
Ian Winkelstern, a postdoctoral
researcher in the Department
of Earth and Environmental
Sciences at the University, found
this latest warming to be harmful
to rising sea levels.
The last time it was this
warm, cold water that had melted
from Greenland’s ice sheets was
flowing as far down the Atlantic
Ocean as Bermuda, altering the
ecosystem and changing the
ocean’s climate. Winkelstern
told the Michigan News this
could destroy the coral reefs of
Bermuda, flood North America
and cause Europe’s temperature
to drop.
“If a big enough chunk of
Greenland falls off, which has
clearly happened in the past and
has clearly caused these dramatic
changes in the past, there’s no
reason to think it couldn’t happen
again,” Winkelstern told the
Michigan News. “We’re doing a
pretty good job of melting it right
now.”
Regardless of whether this
warm-up is from the effects of
climate change, get ready for the
warm days and sunny skies to
continue this weekend and next
week.

Members
of
eMerge,
a
student-run
political
party
campaigning
for
Central
Student Government, kicked
its campaign off with a meet-
and-greet
for
interested
students to learn more about
the party’s core team members
and platform.
eMerge’s core team took
input
from
University
of
Michigan
students
about
the
goals
of
their
party.
Vice-presidential
candidate
Nadine
Jawad,
a
Public
Policy
junior,
and
other
candidates
spoke
with
students about opportunities
to run as a representative
for the party, join the street
team to campaign, or aid in
coordinating
events
with
other organizations.
“Today is an opportunity
for students to learn about
what we are trying to do and
how they can get involved,”
Jawad said. “We want to
create a student government
that allows students to emerge
out of the crowd and into
leadership roles.”
According
to
eMerge’s
presidential candidate, LSA
junior
Anushka
Sarkar,
a
main focus of the platform is
breaking down the barriers
that prevent students from
becoming
involved
with
student government.
“The purpose of eMerge is
to create an organization that
empowers students to rise up
and be involved in issues and
initiatives on campus that
they’re passionate about or
that affect them,” Sarkar said.
“We see CSG as a platform for
students to be involved in the
things that they care about.”
eMerge
has
broken
up
its platform into advocacy
plans and initiative plans.
Initiative plans focus on easily
completed projects such as
extended
campus
Wi-Fi,
improved bathroom facilities,
and the installation of game-
day hydration stations.
Their
advocacy
plans
focus
on
long-term
goals
such as expanding in-state
tuition
to
undocumented
and non-traditional students
and
improved
testing
accommodation centers.
LSA junior Ryan Dishell
attended the meet-and-greet
to determine how he wanted
to involve himself in CSG.
“I
like
that
they
have
short-term goals and long-
term goals; I think it’s really
important for a platform to
have a vision, but to also
have a plan and tangible
goals that students can get
done,” Dishell said.
After leaving the meet-
and-greet,
LSA
junior
Kyla Klein said the party
appeared to bring a new
perspective to CSG.
“I was really interested
in their stance on students
with Medicaid using the
services
at
Michigan,”
Klein said. “I found their
campaign really interesting
and unique.”
Kinesiology
sophomore
Okpalefe Edevbie expressed
similar views on the party’s
platform.
“I think they’ve a lot of
great plans to reach the
different facets and groups
in student government, and
to create more access for
students,” Edevbie said.
Currently,
eMerge
is
running unopposed for the
election on the March 22
and 23.
