MSU starting guard Rashunda Jones latest to enter transfer portal
A few seasons ago, a player transferring from a school after starting 28 of 32 games in the Big Ten was unheard of — nowadays it’s just an average Tuesday. Junior guard Rashunda Jones announced on social media Tuesday that she will be entering the transfer portal with a year of eligibility remaining, becoming the fourth Michigan State women’s basketball player to do so. She will be joining sophomore forward Inés Sotelo as the second starter. “Thank you for a life-changing year. I’m truly grateful for the memories, lessons, and relationships that came with it,” Jones posted. “I have decided to enter the transfer portal. This was not an easy decision, but I’m excited for what the future holds.” Jones averaged 11.7 points, 3.4 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game. She was named to the Big Ten All-Defensive team by the media in her only season in East Lansing after transferring from Purdue. She started the first 22 games of the season until a lower leg injury against Michigan on Feb. 15 forced her to miss the next game. By season’s end she appeared in 31 of the 32 games, starting in 28.
Abdul El-Sayed denounces Iran War, calls for abolishing ICE in campus rally
U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed laid into corporate influence in politics and accused President Donald Trump of fighting the Iran War on Israel’s behalf while championing a Medicare-for-all platform, among other progressive policy positions, in a visit to Michigan State University Tuesday afternoon. The aspiring senator and former public health official spoke to nearly 600 MSU students and community members at Anthony Hall alongside popular leftist commentator Hasan Piker and Pennsylvania Rep. Summer Lee. The rally was also seen live by 37,000 others on the streaming platform Twitch.After Trump threatened to destroy Iran’s “whole civilization” earlier in the day, El-Sayed chastised the war effort as “illegal and unjustifiable,” arguing that the money spent on funding war campaigns is better spent benefiting American children, schools and the healthcare system amid an affordability crisis. (The U.S. entered into a two-week ceasefire with Iran shortly after the rally.) “There is no legal authority for a war that Donald Trump is using to torch our tax dollars, to destroy other people’s lives rather than using them to make our lives better,” El-Sayed said. El-Sayed took aim at another hallmark of the Trump administration in his remarks, advocating for abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which he said could not be reformed following the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis in January. “There is no reforming, there is no retraining, there is only abolishing ICE,” El-Sayed said.
Her Campus hosts technology summit ‘Hard Reset: It’s Not You, It’s Them’
On April 7, Her Campus Media hosted ‘Hard Reset’ with Design It For Us (DIFU), an invite-only technology summit that brought together influential Gen Z voices, advocates, and changemakers. The purpose? To uplift Gen Z voices and ‘admit Big Tech is a red flag.’ With more than 50 people in attendance, the event facilitated panel discussions such as “Defining the Relationship,” “The Red Flags,” and “Setting Boundaries.” Attendees heard from activists and policymakers, such as Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Whitmer gave a keynote speech where she addressed the impact of Big Tech on Gen Z specifically, ending her speech by saying, “No pressure, I’m counting on you to save the world.” Gov. Whitmer was joined by DIFU Co-Founder Zamaan Qureshi and actress and activist Lexi Underwood for a panel discussion hosted by Windsor Western, the Co-Founder of Her Campus Media. The discussion defined the relationship between Gen Z and Big Tech. Western began the panel with an interactive poll, asking attendees to raise a red flag in response to toxic experiences with technology and social media.
