This project consists of two assignments from my ENGRD 101 class, starting with a personal narrative discussing my experiences related to COVID-19, which I wrote at the beginning of the semester. Growing up in Texas, I chose to discuss the politicization of the pandemic, focusing on anecdotes of my gymnastics coach and high school classmates ignoring mask mandates and other COVID protocols for the sake of political resistance and ignorance. I wanted to focus on this larger political phenomena, as I believe these national implications are more important than my sole personal experience. My essay can be found below.
At the end of the semester, we were given the assignment to transform our original personal narrative into a different mode, helping us understand how different forms can be used to tell a story. I chose to make a Wix website focused on the politicization of the pandemic. I left out my personal anecdotes and relied on articles and photojournalism to tell an unbiased story of American politics during COVID-19, therefore supplementing my original essay.

Below is a copy of my essay explaining why I chose to make a website.

The runoff election results were set to be released the night before our print issue was distributed, so I knew I would be writing this article at the last minute before we sent the pages to the printer. To prepare, I spent a couple of days ahead of time writing four article templates with the possible election results, so it was easy to choose the correct one and fill in the missing information after the results were released. The article ended up being published at 12:04 a.m., 29 minutes after the election results were released to the Emory University community. Below is the process for writing “‘No confidence,’ Nakash win in runoff elections.”
Templates
Below are the four versions of the story I wrote before the results came out, allowing us to quickly publish the article.
We knew that results would be coming out late at night, so it was unlikely that we would hear back from any sources before publishing. However, I reached out to Noah Marchuck, Alyssa Stegall, Elisabet Ortiz and Dani Nakash, and made note of the fact that none of them responded for comment by press time. Nakash responded the next morning, and the story was updated on our website to reflect that.

Emory University is renaming the Yerkes National Primate Research Center to the Emory National Primate Research Center, and the Emory University School of Law’s L.Q.C. Lamar professorships to Emory School of Law Distinguished Professors, according to an April 21 email from University President Greg Fenves.
Community members have advocated for this change since March 2020, when Professor of Law George Shepherd sent letters to former University President Claire Sterk, requesting the removal of Yerkes’ name. Shepherd is a part of the Emory Community Members for Historical Accountability, which is made up of alumni, faculty and students. The group told the Wheel in February that they had sent multiple letters to Fenves since May 2021 requesting for controversial names, including Yerkes and Lamar, to be removed from campus buildings and professorships.
The Yerkes National Primate Research Center, which lies on the edge of Emory’s campus, is named after its founder Robert Yerkes, one of the most prominent eugenicists of the 20th century. The University inherited the name after it assumed ownership of the primate research center from Yale University (CT) in 1956.
Yerkes advocated for the sterilization, isolation and murder of those who weren’t socially “useful” under the guise of racist research, writing in the Symposium on Recent Advances in Psychology that “being held no promise of complete, serviceable biological development … it would seem socially defensible that his life should be ended gently.”
In 1941, amidst World War II, Yerkes wrote that the U.S. should follow Nazi Germany in its “human engineering” efforts. In his article, which was published in the Journal of Consulting Psychology, Yerkes said that “Nazis already have achieved something that is entirely without parallel in military history.”
In Yerkes’ mind, providing resources for disabled people was an unnecessary economic waste, so he argued for the “elimination of the biologically unfit.”
And, stemming from his influence on the U.S. eugenics movement, 64,000 people were forcibly sterilized.
Professor of Law George Shepherd, who is part of Emory Community Members for Historical Accountability, told the Wheel in February that honoring people like Yerkes is embarrassing to Emory’s legacy and antithetical to the University’s values.
“We just need to think carefully about who Emory wants to honor,” Shepherd said. “Does it want to honor racist, antisemitic people?”
The Emory University School of Law’s L.Q.C. Lamar professorships are named after Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar (1845C). He championed white supremacy, leading Mississippi’s secession from the Union during the Civil War while owning slaves himself. He also supported the Dawes Act, under which the U.S. government seized 100 million acres of Native American land.
In a July 7 letter to Fenves, the Emory Community Members for Historical Accountability wrote that Lamar fought to uphold white supremacy even after the Civil War. He negotiated the Compromise of 1877, allowing white southerners to restrict Reconstruction in the South.
The Emory School of Law used to be named after Lamar. However, the University removed Lamar’s name from the official law school name, but did not change the professorship title until today.
Currey Hitchens (09L), a leader of Emory Community Members for Historical Accountability, told the Wheel in February professorship titles like Lamar’s could easily be changed, so she found it “baffling” that it remained.
“He was a traitor against our nation, he was fighting to continue to enslave Black peoples because he believed that there were less than others,” Hitchens said. “He fought for that even after the Civil War.”

The decision follows widespread criticism toward the University for racist honorary names, which are not limited to Yerkes and Lamar. In 2020, Fenves appointed the University Committee of Naming Honors to review contested honorary names. In May 2021, the Committee submitted a report to Fenves, recommending the removal of Lamar, Yerkes, Atticus Haygood, George Foster Pierce and Augustus Longstreet from all honors.
Emory decided to rename Longstreet Means Residence Hall to Eagle Hall and the Longstreet Professor of English position to Emory College of Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professor of English in June 2021.
Eagle Hall’s original name honored former University Presidents and slave owners Augustus Baldwin Longstreet and Alexander Means. Longstreet utilized his platforms to advocate for slavery, writing pro-slavery pamphlets as the president of Emory. Means also kept extensive diaries during his time as president. He often wrote about his family’s enslaved peoples, writing in 1861 that the “little negro very ill (Harriet) has been insensible — with deep coma for two or three days.” However, Means Drive still remains in honor of its namesake.
Fenves has not acted on two names on the Committee’s original list — Haygood and Pierce.
Haygood, the eighth president of Emory, is honored as the namesake of many buildings and streets on campus, including Haygood Hall and the Haygood-Hopkins Memorial Gateway near Emory Village. Although Haygood is sometimes remembered for condemning slavery and attracting phailanthropy for higher education for Black students after the Civil War, his legacy is still marred by racism.
Haygood served as a chaplain for the Confederate army and wrote in 1887 that “If now the Legislature will give us a law placing the parents of mulatto children in the chain-gang, that would be worthwhile.” His use of the word “mulatto” refers to children of mixed white and Black ancestry, while “chain-gang” refers to groups of convicts who were chained together and forced to complete physical labor, such as road construction and ditch digging.
He also believed that Black men should not have been given the right to vote in the South immediately after the Civil War. In 1895, he said that “In the days of ‘Reconstruction’ — in many respects more harmful to business, social, civil and religious order and life, than the war itself — the ballot was ‘dumped’ upon the emancipated people — utterly unfit for the responsibilities of citizenship.” Haygood opposed the Federal Elections Bill of 1890, which was created to protect the rights of Black men to vote in the South.
“As I see these things, no more worse blow could be aimed at the negro than a blow which he would inevitably understand as intended to put him in control of government in the South,” Haygood said in Alabama Christian Advocate in 1890.

However, Fenves wrote in the April 21 email that despite being a part of the Confederate army, Haygood later “supported the development of schools and colleges for African Americans” and helped found Paine College (Ga.), a historically Black college.
“In later years, Haygood denounced slavery and dedicated himself to service that benefitted African American communities in the South,” Fenves wrote. “Because of his early support for slavery, the Committee on Naming Honors recommended that Emory remove all honorific namings associated with Haygood. After much thought, review, and consultation surrounding Haygood’s legacy, I have decided not to accept the committee’s recommendation. The Haygood name will remain in place at Emory.”
The Haygood-Hopkins Memorial Gateway is also named after Isaac Stiles Hopkins, who was Emory’s ninth president and a Confederate soldier. Hopkins, however, was not included in the Emory Community Members for Historical Accountability’s list of contended names.
Pierce was Emory’s third president, serving from 1848 to 1854, when he was elected as bishop. During his tenure, Emory College dedicated its first building not made of wood, which cost $15,000 in1853. The university dedicated the building Pierce Promenade, which Hamilton Holmes Residence Hall has its address on, to him.
Pierce supported slavery and the Confederate cause during the Civil War, as well as the secession of states. In an 1863 speech before the Georgia Legislature, Pierce said “The triumph of our arms is the triumph of right and truth and justice. The defeat of our enemies us the defeat of wrong and malice and outrage. Our Confederacy has committed herself to no iniquitous policy, no unholy alliances, no unwarrantable plans…”
In the April 21 email, Fenves noted that Pierce made “contributions to the advancement of education, particularly for women, in Georgia.” He did not state whether Pierce’s honor would remain on campus in the future.
“I am continuing to review and consider a final decision on the George Foster Pierce name at Emory,” Fenves wrote.
Fenves also noted that Emory Libraries developed a contextualization guide for the honorary names on campus that were reviewed by the Committee on Naming Honors.
“I know that many at Emory have been deeply interested in these decisions and I want to thank everyone who shared their thoughts and provided feedback,” Fenves wrote. “We will continue to explore our past with fresh perspective — strengthening understanding and shedding light on untold stories.”

Sources
The first step after receiving a story idea is always the same — finding sources. For this story, I decided to talk to Jackson Price, his teammate Chris Belz and his coaches Derek Nelson and Linh Nguyen.
Interviews
Below are the questions I wrote before my interviews, not including follow-up questions I came up with during our conversations.
Below is the first draft of my article. I knew it was too long while writing it, but I prefer to write too much and cut sections later on. To write the draft, I went through all of my interviews and made a chronological list, making note of details and events I wanted to include. As I drafted the story, I started to discover the theme I wanted to focus on — Price’s dedication to his teammates.
Below are the edits made to my article. It went through two sports editors, a managing editor and our editor in chief. The main goal of the editing process was cutting the story to help it fit on the page, as well as keep the article focused on the theme at hand.
Adrenaline hits freshman sprinter Jackson Price as he steps on the track before a race. He relishes in the jittery feeling. Walking onto the track turns Price, a self-proclaimed “mellow” guy, into an adrenaline junkie more than anything.
“Take your marks.”
Price’s next moves are instinctual. He touches his toes and squats down before getting in the starting block, telling himself the same thing he does every meet — ‘get out of the block quickly.’ Price is fast enough to win if he can get out soon enough, and he has the records to prove it. ‘Just. Get. Out.’
“Set.”
Price’s thoughts are quiet with that one word. He takes in a breath and holds it, waiting for the familiar sound of the gunshot signaling the start of his race.
The shot rings out, and without a second to think, Price takes off.
Growing up, Price played everything, from soccer to lacrosse and baseball. But most of his time was spent on the basketball court, following in the footsteps of his father, who played NCAA Division I basketball at Denver University (Colo.).
And just like his dad, Price hates losing. He ran as fast as he could to win elementary school field day races or beat his third grade classmates in a game of football. Price joked that his competitive edge “runs in the family” — his grandfather and little brother are the same way.
“I’m going to give it my best effort because I want to win,” Price said. “It just helps me push myself.”
When Price, who is 6 feet tall, realizedreached the summer before his junior year of high school that heand was too short to continue basketball., Hhe decided to dedicated himself to track, which he had picked up two years prior to improve his basketball conditioning, instead.
Price hit the ground running. He started working with the club team Steadfast Track Academy, an athletic powerhouse that produces some of the country’s top collegiate runners. His former teammate, University of Southern California freshman sprinter Gavin Schurr, competed in the Olympic Trials.
By the end of his first year dedicated to the sport, Price qualified for the New Balance Nationals Outdoor Championships. The meet was canceled due to COVID-19, but Price was still motivated.
“Just qualifying and just training with those people helped me realize, ‘Oh, if I can keep up with these people, I can do this in college too,’” Price said.
The promise of a good education and athletic career drew Price to Emory University, and he committed shortly before his senior season.
“We knew, obviously, when we were recruiting Jackson that he was really talented, and he put up some very good times in high school,” head coach Linh Nguyen said. “[Assistant] coach [Derek] Nelson was very excited about getting him to campus.”
However, during his first meet of senior year, Price felt a shocking pain shoot up his calf — he had partially torn his Achilles tendon, taking him out for the rest of the season. Although he was disappointed, Price said being on the sidelines taught him that track is not an individual sport; he should run for his teammates, and when he can’t, he should cheer them on.
Price explained track has kept him sane during his first year at Emory. From the beginning, his days have revolved around practice, just how he likes it. But it took Price some time to adjust to his new environment, which both Nelson and Ngyuen said is expected for new collegiate athletes. With his Achilles almost fully healed, Price spent the majority of the fall semester with his team, preparing for their first meet on Dec. 3. However, Price missed the meet because he finished the semester virtually.
“I was very set on just running well and giving it the best of my abilities and being consistent,” Price said. “I think coming in and being even more so a team player… was a big thing for me too.”

When Price came back to campus, Nelson said he had a “renewed vigor and focus” for track. His training got more consistent as he shifted his focus to the weightroom, rebuilding the muscle he lost while injured. He sprinted head-first into the team culture.
“Now he’s really keyed in and he’s making connections with people on the team,” Nguyen said. “That’s helping him and others.”
And when Price stepped onto the track at his first collegiate meet on Jan. 16, he quickly made a name for himself. Price finished fifth in the 200-meter dash finals with a time of 22.37 seconds, tying for the tenth best time in men’s program history, and ranked fifteenth in the 60-meter dash semi-finals. Emory placed sixth in the 4×400 relay, which Price was also a part of.
“Obviously it wasn’t where I wanted it because of the injury and trying to get back, but I would say it was a good start,” Price said. “The coaches were happy with it and everyone was supportive about it. So I couldn’t complain.”
Price’s work paid off at the University Athletic Association (UAA) Indoor Championships. On Feb. 26, Price ran the 60-meter dash with a qualifying time of 7.02 seconds, securing the third fastest time at the meet and tied for the fifth best in program history.
Price did not just think he would win as he was warming up for the 60-meter dash finals, he knew he would. Price tells himself this while warming up before every meet: this is his race. He is going to beat the other athletes, and if he doesn’t, so be it. They just ran better.
“His mindset, that’s what propels him,” freshman sprinter Chris Belz said. “He thinks he can win any race and goes in with that mentality, and locks in more than most people I’ve seen.”
But when Price crossed the finish line of the 60-meter dash, he wasn’t confident that he won. He was neck-and-neck with another runner, and they stood on the side together, staring at the projected scoreboard while eagerly waiting for their final results. Five minutes passed before Price’s name was shown on top, winning with a score of 7.01 seconds — the fourth fastest time in program history.
“It was rewarding,” Price said. “It was nice to see. I had a lot of help with that too, with my parents and my physical therapist … so that was a big part of it.”
Price’s success continued as the team shifted into their outdoor season with two home meets in March. During the Thrills in the Hills Open, Price won first place in the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes, as well as the 4×400-meter relay. His 100-meter finish was historic for Emory’s track program — his time of 10.62 seconds in the preliminaries set a new program record, which Price broke again the next day after finishing with a time of 10.52 seconds in the finals.
Price ran with a tailwind during his record-breaking run, giving him a slight edge. Although Emory still counted his finish as a new record, his time doesn’t count towards national rankings because the wind was too strong. If it did, Price would be in first place.
With Emory’s record under his belt, Price hopes to beat his time without mother nature’s help next. His goal is to keep breaking his records.
But breaking the record individually was not the highlight of the day for Price, calling it a “nice add-on” to what he thinks track is really about — what he accomplished with his teammates.
Price ran as the anchor in the 4×400 meter relay, working again with graduate student Liam Fost, sophomore Dawit Dean and Belz. When Price took the baton for the final lap, Emory was in second place. By the time Price crossed the finish line, it was too close to call. Price immediately walked off the track and sat down next to his bag, thinking the race had ended in a tie. But a minute later, his teammates surrounded him, telling him he had won. Price had pulled them ahead.
“It’s rewarding to be like, ‘I did this for you guys,’” Price said. “When you’re running for teammates, it’s a whole other thing.”
As he looks ahead to the rest of the outdoor season, Price hopes to keep breaking records and win the 100 and 200-meter dashes, as well as the 4×100 and 4×400-meter relays, because every time he wins, he helps push his teammates one step closer to winning a conference championship.
“Having them push me to do the best I can, obviously it’s paying off for me and for them,” Price said. “The group effort of everyone going into it is probably the most rewarding.”
Associate Vice President and Executive Director for COVID-19 Response and Recovery Amir St. Clair announced Thursday that wearing masks will be optional in most of Emory University’s indoor spaces, including residence halls, dining spaces and athletic spaces beginning on March 7. The new policy will apply to classrooms, laboratories and other instructional spaces on March 21.
The University will still require masks on Emory shuttles and other forms of public transportation as well as clinical patient care spaces like Student Health and some research spaces until further notice.
This is the first time masks will not be required on campus in almost two years since the University announced a mask mandate at the end of May 2020.
St. Clair told the Wheel that lifting the mask requirement during spring break is part of a staggered technique vital to successfully lifting mask requirements entirely.
“It allows us to roll this out in a period of time where we still have activity on campus — there are still staff members, faculty, students who are operating, living and interacting on campus — but we’re not at full density,” St. Clair said. “It allows the preparation needed to move into a mask optional state when everybody returns.”
St. Clair said that mask-optional policy will place more responsibility on individuals to make the best decisions for their health.
“Our community’s response needs to be one where we honor and respect the choices people make about masking: whether to wear one or not to wear one,” St. Clair said.
The decision was based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s revised guidance on community risk levels, St. Clair said, noting that transmission and hospitalization rates had “significantly declined below recommended thresholds.” He also said the University took into account Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens’ announcement on Feb. 26 that the city’s indoor mask mandate was lifted.
St. Clair attributes the opportunity to go mask optional to the University’s former safety measures had on lowering campus COVID-19 cases. About 98.6% of students and 97% of faculty and staff are fully vaccinated, according to the University’s COVID-19 dashboard. Approximately 88% of eligible people on campus have received the booster vaccination as of March 2, St. Clair said.
There were 35 known COVID-19 cases among students and faculty over the last 10 days. However, regular testing is not required for vaccinated individuals.
“People have taken the steps that they need to with vaccinations and boosters to put themselves in a position where we can start to pull back on some of these layers that have been in place over the past two years,” St. Clair said.
St. Clair said he expects the change will likely be met with mixed emotions. To mediate concerns, he recommended that anyone in a high-risk category, including those who are unvaccinated or immunocompromised, still wear a mask indoors. He added that worried community members can access health resources via Emory Forward and the Georgia Department of Public Health.
The University will provide additional information and will likely offer forums to discuss the new masking policy with the Emory community in the “next few weeks,” St. Clair said.
However, St. Clair said the University is prepared to reimpose mask requirements again if necessary. He stressed the importance of adhering to other safety measures, such as staying home when sick and getting tested before and after traveling.
“We hope that we’re continuing to move into an environment where we can pull back on some of these restrictions and operate in this new phase of living with COVID responsibly,” St. Clair said. “That’s our end goal.”
“No confidence” won the Student Government Association (SGA) presidential runoff election, beating Alyssa Stegall (21Ox, 23C), according to a March 29 email from the Elections Board.
Noah Marchuck (24C), who was Stegall’s running mate, won the SGA vice presidential election on March 25, garnering 53.89% of votes. Due to the “no confidence” victory, Marchuck will become SGA president and appoint a new vice president, according to Elections Board Attorney General Stewart Zelnick (20Ox, 22C).
Marchuck did not respond for comment by press time.
This is the first time “no confidence” has won an SGA presidential election at Emory University, Elections Board Chair Mild Trakarnsakdikul (19Ox, 22B) said.
The results were emailed to the student body Tuesday evening after the voting period ended at 12 p.m. that day. “No confidence” received 656 (51.37%) votes, while Stegall garnered 621 (48.62%) votes. A total of 1,277 votes were cast in the race, a decrease from the 1,681 votes cast in the initial race.
The March 29 email also announced that Dani Nakash (23B) won the BBA Council presidential runoff election. Nakash received 197 (62.53%) votes, while Natalie Spitzer (23B) earned 118 (37.46%) votes. A total of 315 votes were cast in the election.
Nakash earned 159 (49.22%) of the 323 votes cast in the initial election, while Spitzer received 123 (38.08%) votes. “No confidence” received 41 (12.69%) votes.
In a March 30 email to the Wheel, Nakash wrote she was “thrilled and humbled” to be elected as BBA Council president.
“This victory is a reflection of BBA student voices, and I will work tirelessly to advance the principles of transparency, inclusivity and diversity in our community,” Nakash said. “There is much work to be done — I look forward to the many opportunities to hear student voices and collaborate with BBA leaders toward the betterment of our great community.”
The SGA presidential election advanced to a runoff after neither Stegall nor “no confidence” received over 50% of the vote, according to a March 25 email from the elections board. “No confidence” received a plurality of the votes in the initial election, earning 785 (46.69%) votes. Stegall received 551 (32.77%) votes while Eleanor Liu (21Ox, 23B) finished last, securing 345 (20.52%) votes.
Elisabet Ortiz (24C) spearheaded the “no confidence” campaign after she was disqualified from the SGA presidential race due to her status as a gap year student. She encouraged students to vote “no confidence” in a March 19 Instagram post, stating that while the policy was intended to prevent non-Emory students, future students or abroad students from running, it discriminated against “disenfranchised students such as [herself] who are in legal limbo, on medical leaves of absence, or taking time off for mental health.”
Ortiz later announced that she withdrew from the race on March 21, but still campaigned for “no confidence” to “show SGA the necessity of changing its constitution to include marginalized voices.”
Neither Stegall nor Ortiz responded for comment by press time.
Nathan Rubin (25C) voted “no confidence” in both the initial and runoff elections, noting it was the only choice that “symbolized real change.”
“Years go around and I feel like nothing really changes structurally,” Rubin said. “Little things can change and people can say stuff in their speeches and campaigns, but I feel like ‘no confidence’ has the traction to maybe actually get some of those things done.”
Kevin Wu (23C), who endorsed Stegall and voted for her in both the initial and runoff elections, said he has known Stegall since high school and “knows the passion she has to make changes to the student body.”
“She actually did reach out to a lot of cultural clubs and asked them for their opinions on how to make the campus better, how to make it more inclusive and how to bridge the connections between different cultural groups,” Wu said. “That’s a really important thing, especially in a really diverse community.”
Marchuck and Nakash will be joining the other election winners, announced March 25, in office. Akshat Toshniwal (23C) won the College Council presidential election and Neha Murthy (24C) won the College Council vice presidential election.
Update (3/30/2022 at 10:21 a.m.): This article was updated to include comment from Dani Nakash (23B).
