At first glance, junior Kelsey Riley might seem like your average college student. Upon looking at her resume, however, you will find that she’s anything but ordinary. Riley, a tourism and events management major, set herself apart from the rest of the crowd when she became a Mark representative in 2008. Mark, a division of Avon, is a leader in the sale of cosmetics, clothing and accessories. After Riley signed up, she quickly began her own success story. “It was kind of a random thing,” says Riley. “There was a Mark event on campus where they did a makeup demonstration. I was really skeptical at first, but they’re all about giving women an opportunity to make money and look fabulous.

As a consequence, flags such as those of Palestine and Kurdistan, which have been included in the past, will not be flown. These flags can still be displayed at the I-Week opening ceremony and other events with prior registration. Rizhna Chener, president of the Kurdistan Student Organization, created a Facebook page to raise awareness of this change in policy, which she claims on the page is based on “fears that recognizing non-states … would inflame the Chinese embassy and by extension the Chinese government, which donates a significant amount of money to the university.” The university’s […]
