LSA senior Lakshman
Mulpuri and Rackham student
Trevis Harrold, Central Student
Government representatives,
recently launched a program through
the University of Michigan app
that allows students to view how
many people are currently in the
Recreational Sports facilities, as well
as what equipment is being used.
The model is very similar to
one of the app’s features that tracks
how full dining halls are. Mulpuri
and Harrold worked with College
of Engineering students and
Information and Technology Services
to create the program and add it to
the official University app.
The representatives said CSG
made a donation to the recreation
buildings to buy iPads. Then, every
half hour, recreation employees walk
around the building and count how
many people are using the equipment.
“It gives you a sense of how busy
(the gym) is,” Mulpuri said. “It tells
you how many people are in each
room, lifting, running, swimming
is actually on there too, the lounges,
the racquetball courts. At the top of
the app, it’ll also say what time it’s
been updated at, and it’s really useful
because a lot of students
have told me that this is
something that they’d like.”
Mulpuri added this was
a project he and Harrold
been trying to work on for
a while, and they had to go
through multiple meetings
with managers and faculty
at different centers to have it
implemented.
Harrold said he was
proud to see the application
running after their hard
work.
“It was a really long
process, even getting the
money allocated to different
(recreation) centers, we were
very involved with that, but
it was good to see it actually
usable and working,” Harrold said.
The program can be accessed
through the University app from
the Student Life tab and is currently
collecting data from the Central
Campus Recreational Building, the
North Campus Recreational Building
and the Intramural Sports Building.

Discussions
surrounding
issues of race and gender in the
world of University of Michigan
research and academia were
prominent during a lecture
for undergraduate researchers
held Thursday afternoon.
Around
40
students
gathered in a classroom in
Haven Hall to hear a panel
of
speakers
discuss
issues
of gender and race in the
Undergraduate
Research
Opportunity
Program,
the
University
of
Michigan’s
program
for
involving
undergraduates in research
projects with faculty.
The panel was moderated by
one of UROP’s social science
peer
advisors,
LSA
senior
Adedolapo Adeniji who asked
the panelists questions. At
the end of the discussion,
the students were allowed to
ask the panelists their own.
Adeniji sought answers that
would help students learn
more about research, including
how to find a mentor, how to
seek out support and how race
and gender have played a role
in the paths of the panelists.
Panelist
Sara
Adlerstein
Gonzalez,
an
associate
research
scientist
in
the
School of Natural Resources
and Environment, discussed
what it means to be a woman
in a male-dominated research
field.
“Being a person of color and
a female and younger, you get
questioned a lot in terms of
your research or your ideas,”
she said. “You get challenged
in ways that maybe your male
or white counterparts aren’t
challenged. So, if anything,
you learn to push back, you
learn to defend your ideas.”
American
Culture
Prof.
Yeidy Rivero, another panelist,
discussed
mentorship
in
research and how it relates to
race.
“Because I am a woman and
I am Latina does not mean I
am the perfect mentor for a
Latino person, you know what
I mean?” she asked. “My first
mentor was a white male.
And he was wonderful and
I adore him and he was my
dissertation adviser.”
In an interview following
the panel, Rivero discussed
the importance of talking to
undergraduates.
“We
as
scholars
should
devote a lot of attention to
our undergraduates and part
of that is to talk about what is
going on in society, and gender
and race are key issues
today,” she said.
In the interview she also
commented on the way the
University addresses racial
issues higher up in the
research community.
“I think the University
is trying very hard to tell
you the truth, to deal with
those issues,” she said. “I
think each department is
different, of course, but
I think the University is
putting in a lot of effort and
funds for that … I think many
people are unaware of their
own sexism and racism.
They make comments and
you are like ‘Oh my god.’
Believe it or not, I think
people should be trained. It
doesn’t matter that you have
a Ph.D.”
Kinesiology junior Riley
Engstrom commented on
the diversity within UROP.
