The Panamanian Association hosted its annual Panam

The Panamanian Association hosted its annual Panamanian Carnival Thursday in the Engineering Center. PANAS hosts the carnival annually during SpringFest to celebrate the university and Panamanian culture.

“This is one of the biggest celebrations that we have in Panama,” said Yoel Alvarez, sophomore psychology major and president of PANAS. “For us, it’s just an honor to pass something similar, because it could never be the same, because it’s not in Panama.”

(3/3) The Shield is excited to announce we have been working on a special edition titled, "Unmasked: Unmasking the story of how COVID-19 affected the University of Southern Indiana." The official release date of the magazine is April 24.

This 56-page magazine documents the history of how COVID-19 affected the university's campus through different stages: Going Home, Returning to Campus, Entering New Normal and Managing COVID-19.

"The purpose of 'Unmasked' is to reflect and remember the stories of the USI community during the global COVID-19 pandemic,” said Shelby Clark, Editor-in-Chief of The Shield. “This magazine will serve as a record for these moments in the university's history. I am so proud of my incredible staff for investing their energy and efforts into this historic magazine in addition to the work they complete as full-time students and full-time Shield staff."
