The activities’ goals included:

• Strengthening collaboration and teamwork
• Practicing effective communication and group decision-making
• Understanding the importance of listening to and valuing everyone’s perspectives
• Reflecting on ways teams can improve their approach to working together

For the workshop, “Purposeful Playful Collaboration and Teams,” Darfour-Oduro welcomed Daniella Alonzo Lopez from ������Ƶ’s Center for Design Thinking to work with her students in the Global Health class.

The students were first divided into groups, and each group was asked to build the tallest tower possible using Brain Flakes toys. Before beginning, students discussed and developed a strategy for approaching the challenge and achieving their goal. After completing their towers, the students shared their experiences and discussed what worked well within their groups and what they could have improved to build a taller tower. This reflection encouraged students to look beyond the success of their final outcomes and consider how their approach, communication, and teamwork influenced the results.

Darfour-Oduro shared that the workshop was designed to prepare students for group projects in the Global Health class. For the project, each student will be assigned a country and will work in groups organized according to the World Health Organization (WHO) regions.

The workshop emphasized the importance of skills that extend beyond the classroom and into the field of global health, where addressing complex health challenges often require individuals with diverse perspectives and experiences to collaborate toward a shared goal.

New members’ first meeting with the full board will be on Friday, Oct. 9 as part of Homecoming & Reunion Weekend.

Members of the ������Ƶ School of Law Advisory Board gathered in Greensboro this week for their regular fall meeting, providing strategic guidance and professional insights to university and law school administrators while devoting significant time to students through panel discussions and small-group mentoring conversations shared over meals.

The 21-member board includes prominent attorneys, judges and business leaders from across the country who advise ������Ƶ Law and ������Ƶ leaders on the law school’s development and strategic direction.

A Wednesday, Sept. 16, panel featured Jennifer Bowden L’09, principal at R. Steve Bowden & Associates; Marla Crawford, general counsel at Cimplifi; and Gerald Walden G’14, general counsel at The Fresh Market. Student Bar Association President Trey McClenny L’26 moderated.

Their conversation offered students practical advice drawn from careers spanning private practice, corporate law, litigation and emerging legal technology. Among their key takeaways:

Treat law school like your first professional job.

Bowden encouraged students to take advantage of access to professors and seek their guidance rather than trying to navigate difficult material alone. Walden similarly urged students to make law school a priority and to be intentional about learning from classmates who excel in different legal areas, as well as faculty.

Stay open to where a legal career can lead.

All three panelists described careers that evolved in directions they hadn’t necessarily anticipated in law school. Crawford encouraged students not to arrive with a fixed idea of where they must end up. Opportunities others overlook, she said, can sometimes become defining moments in a career. For her, that arose through first managing discovery, which became her specialty and led to managing the nation’s first electronic discovery case in the complex Enron case that began in 2001. She then leveraged that skill to become an expert in technology and the law, and is now focused on AI.

Get legal experience (even if it isn’t your dream job).

The panelists emphasized internships, summer work and other law-related opportunities as ways to test practice areas and workplace environments. Students can learn as much from discovering what they don’t enjoy as from finding an immediate fit.

Build relationships deliberately.

Walden reminded students that their professional networks already include the classmates sitting beside them. When meeting practicing attorneys, he advised students to follow up, reference the conversation and give the attorney something memorable to know about their own interests and goals.

Referencing a specific conversation and expressing interest in continuing it can help turn a brief introduction into a meaningful professional connection, he said.

The panel was only one part of the board’s interaction with students. Members joined students for a community dinner in the ������Ƶ Law Library on Wednesday, Sept. 16, creating opportunities for informal conversations about careers, law school and professional life.

Those connections continued Thursday, Sept. 17, when board members met with students in smaller mentoring conversations over lunch.

The interactions reflect ������Ƶ Law’s emphasis on connecting students with practicing attorneys, judges and other leaders throughout their legal education, as well as the Advisory Board’s dedication to providing top-notch law school experience to law students as they develop professional networks and clearer understanding of opportunities available.

The system also introduces full-body and head marks depicting the Phoenix with a sharper, more athletic look. That vision comes to life in a new mascot costume designed to give the Phoenix a more dynamic presence and make it easier to engage with fans. The focused expression and forward-leaning stance convey determination and motion, while the gold sweater, monogram “E” and stylized flames on the shoes draw from ������Ƶ’s history and traditions. Together, the new marks and costume connect generations of ������Ƶ fans while reflecting the energy and ambition of today’s student-athletes.

This visual evolution comes during a period of notable momentum for ������Ƶ Athletics. Guided by Phoenix Rising, its five-year strategic vision, the department is pursuing championship success, academic achievement and holistic student-
athlete development across its 17 varsity programs. During the 2025-26 academic year, Phoenix teams won seven CAA championships, student-athletes posted a department-record 3.444 cumulative GPA and ������Ƶ led the conference with eight Leadership and Sport Excellence Award recipients.

“This identity reflects both who we are and where we are headed,” says Jenn Strawley, director of athletics. “It honors the history and traditions that have shaped us while giving us a fresh way to represent the energy and character of ������Ƶ Athletics. This identity embraces our present and sets our path for the future.”

The Phoenix’s New Look

1. Built to Move, Made to Connect

An upgraded head design improves visibility and mobility, allowing the Phoenix to interact more naturally with fans and bring greater energy to each appearance.

2. A Tenacious Spirit

A focused expression conveys the determination, confidence and purpose that define the ������Ƶ community.

3. Ready for the Spotlight

Updated materials and construction give the costume a stronger presence in photographs, videos and game-day crowds.

4. A Link to ������Ƶ’s Past

The gold sweater and monogram “E” honor ������Ƶ’s original Fightin’ Christian mascot, connecting a familiar piece of our history with a new generation of the Phoenix.

5. Fueled by the Flame

The flame detail evokes the rebirth at the heart of the Phoenix story — and the enduring spirit behind ������Ƶ Athletics.

6. Best Foot Forward

Custom shoes echo the Phoenix rising from the ashes, pairing a symbol
of resilience with a bold, contemporary style.

Legions of ������Ƶ fans know the Phoenix and the Fightin’ Christian, but devotion to ������Ƶ Athletics predates those mascots. The school had multiple names for its football team in its early years, including the ������Ƶ Eleven, the Maroon and Gold Machine and the Bear Cats. The Fightin’ Christian identity was first used in 1921 during a football game against Guilford College, whose mascot is the Quakers. The game was billed as “Christians vs. Quakers” because of ������Ƶ’s ties to the Christian Church denomination, today the United Church of Christ.

The identity was first used on an ongoing basis during the 1922-23 season and became the customary name for all ������Ƶ athletics teams beyond football even though it was never officially adopted by the college or the trustees at the time. The Fightin’ Christian mascot was introduced in the early 1970s, during which time the women’s athletics teams were referred to as the “Golden Girls” in the early years of organized women’s basketball.

But by the late 1990s, as ������Ƶ rose in national prominence and the school gained NCAA Division I status, some constituents grew concerned that the Fightin’ Christian identity would be misunderstood and misinterpreted by a broader audience that didn’t have the same direct knowledge of the institution and its history as local and regional audiences. The Board of Trustees voted to adopt a new athletics identity in October 1999.

President Leo M. Lambert appointed a 15-member Athletics Brand Identity Committee to establish a new identity for the fall 2000 season in partnership with SFX Sports Group, a New York-based sports marketing firm. According to an FAQ document from May 2000, more than 200 members of the ������Ƶ community suggested more than 125 new names that “ranged from the unusual (such as aardvarks, fat-tailed geckos, angry apes, rancorous existentialists and lyme ticks) to the common (such as lions, tigers and bears).”

The elegant and brilliant Phoenix described by ancient scholars was sleek, swift and one-of-a-kind. I can think of no better description for ������Ƶ’s outstanding athletics programs. — Leo M. Lambert

The committee conducted focus groups and surveys with more than 120 students, trustees, alumni, faculty and staff before homing in on four of the highest-rated suggestions — the Phoenix, the Mighty Oaks, the Express and the Golden Eagles. SFX created 61 different graphics for the top four names before the final Phoenix identity was selected, with a flying Phoenix formed in the shape of the letter E.

Constituents were drawn to the Phoenix’s many ties to ������Ƶ’s history. The Phoenix is a mythological bird with crimson and gold plumage associated with light and knowledge. At the end of its life, it builds a nest in an oak tree and bursts into flame before being reborn from its own ashes — much like ������Ƶ rebuilt after the 1923 fire.

“Like the legendary Phoenix, which rises from its own ashes with new life and vigor, ������Ƶ College was shaped by the fire, emerging as a stronger institution,” Lambert said at the time. “The elegant and brilliant Phoenix described by ancient scholars was sleek, swift and one-of-a-kind. I can think of no better description for ������Ƶ’s outstanding athletics programs.”

The Phoenix identity was officially unveiled on May 9, 2000, during a campus-wide celebration featuring a massive maroon egg that cracked open to reveal pillars of smoke. The mascot costume debuted Nov. 4, 2000, during the homecoming football game.

According to a handout card from the launch event, the Phoenix is “a perfect symbol for a school that is constantly renewing and re-creating itself.” Twenty-six years later, its newest evolution reflects a university that continues to grow while staying true to its identity.

The Fightin’ Christian, 1978-81

“I went to a game [in 1978] and I noticed they didn’t have a mascot. It was kind of boring; people were just so-so cheering. I went to the bookstore the next day and met [store manager] Buck [Bayliff], and he said, ‘Do you want to dress up as the Fightin’ Christian?’ I said OK because I wanted to do something silly. We went to a theatrical place and got a fake beard. We went to a tuxedo place and got tails and a hat. He gave me a shirt that said ������Ƶ. The next game I put all this on. … I was kind of hesitant but I ran down and started dancing around and everyone enjoyed it. One of the cheerleaders gave me the megaphone that had ‘������Ƶ’ on it. So that’s how I came to do it.”

Scott Muthersbaugh ’06

The Phoenix, 2003-05

“There was something incredibly special about literally embodying the spirit of the school. It was more fun than it was responsibility, but the weight of what I represented was always on my mind. I appreciated the trust that came with holding the school’s reputation in my red, furry, four-fingered hands. I have my time in the suit to thank for my lifelong friendship with John and Dolores Truitt. … One evening I was the Phoenix for both the women’s and men’s basketball games, and decided to take off the suit between games and say hi. They were immediately accepting of the random, sweat-drenched college kid walking up to them, and we were great friends ever since.”

Gray Aust ’23

The Phoenix, 2019-21

“The few former Phoenix mascots had made a habit of not really leaving the cheerleaders, and I knew I wanted to be outgoing, funny and show some personality. When I first did it, it was back when I didn’t have a handler, so I would just walk around and interact with people. Whether it was taking pictures with donors in the courtside seats or going up to the Sunbrella Club and seeing people up there, I wanted to be a Phoenix that they could take a picture with and laugh before going back to watch the game. A lot of kids are also scared of mascots, so I wanted to be a mascot that was approachable and one that they could give a high-five to or give a hug. … I hope I could make them feel my passion for ������Ƶ and the passion for making ������Ƶ fans happy.”

The Current Phoenix

Anonymous, 2023-present

“The Phoenix has forced me out of my comfort zone in ways I didn’t know were possible and allowed me to make memories with so many fans, teams and athletes along the way. Being able to kick off this next era in ������Ƶ Athletics feels special and like the perfect way to celebrate not just the Phoenix, but my time representing them. Every time I put on the suit, I’m grateful I get to represent ������Ƶ in this way. My time at ������Ƶ has been the most formative and rewarding years of my life, and getting to represent the university through the Phoenix makes me feel both honored and appreciative.”

It started as a conversation between friends. A memory from the Ecuadorian Amazon. A question asked after a trip that left them curious about guayusa, a leaf long consumed by Indigenous communities for focus and energy. It had become months of supplier calls, product tests, faculty feedback, formulation decisions and late nights spent figuring out how to turn a shared vision into something real.

Now, the plant-based energy drink they built together is ready for distribution and is being sold at The Oak House at ������Ƶ.

For Vargas-Lopez and Chiriboga, the milestone carries them back to McEwen Dining Hall on campus, where their friendship began during their first year at ������Ƶ in 2022.

Chiriboga, an entrepreneurship major from Quito, Ecuador, and Vargas-Lopez, a sport management major from Austin, Texas, quickly connected over language, culture, soccer and a shared curiosity about the world. They became close friends long before they became business partners.

The idea for YAPA came later, after Chiriboga brought Vargas-Lopez to visit his home country during Thanksgiving break of their sophomore year. It was Vargas-Lopez’s first time in South America, and the trip included time in the Amazon rainforest, where the two were struck by what Chiriboga describes as the “immensity” of the Amazon, from its abundance of life to the plants that have long shaped daily living in the region.

“We came back from visiting the Amazon forest and were just talking through the trip,” Vargas-Lopez says. “That’s when the idea came out. What if we took one of those plants and built a drink around it?”

That question became YAPA, a plant-based energy drink made from guayusa and a larger idea of giving people something more than expected.

The company’s name comes from an Andean expression. In Ecuador, “yapa” refers to a small token added with generosity. At a market, it might be an extra piece of fruit. At a family table, it might be a little more food on someone’s plate.

“It’s a little extra you were not expecting,” Chiriboga says. “That is what we want the product to feel like.”

Building From the Ground Up

Once the idea took hold, Vargas-Lopez and Chiriboga began studying the beverage industry, talking with community members in Ecuador, seeking feedback from mentors and testing whether their concept could become a real business.

They were drawn to the growing interest in cleaner, more transparent beverage options.

“I think the issue we were looking at was the energy drink industry and what a lot of those products contain,” Chiriboga says. “We saw people looking more for clean-label, natural ingredients and more transparency in what they consume.”

That focus helped define YAPA’s direction. They describe the drink as plant-based and made without preservatives, with an emphasis on ingredient transparency, quality and sourcing. Its ingredients include guayusa along with hibiscus, turmeric, ginger, prebiotics and electrolytes, each chosen with a purpose.

For the founders, the product also carries a connection to the place that inspired it.

We came back from visiting the Amazon forest and were just talking through the trip. That’s when the idea came out. What if we took one of those plants and built a drink around it? — Bernardo Vargas-Lopez ’26

In the Amazon, Chiriboga says, guayusa is traditionally consumed in community. People gather early in the morning, drink together and share their dreams before beginning the day. The leaf is associated with focus and energy, but not the jittery rush often linked with conventional energy drinks.

“It gives you that mental clarity and that energy that you need without being hyper,” Chiriboga says.

Turning that inspiration into a company required more than enthusiasm. The two spent months working through sourcing, formulation, packaging, shipping, pricing and compliance while balancing college life.

They also made early decisions about where they would not compromise, even when higher standards meant harder financial choices.

“We decided there were a few strategic points where we would not go for lower quality,” Chiriboga says. “Starting from ingredients and sourcing, we were not going to sacrifice what the product stands for.”

Asking the Right Questions

Both founders say their experience in the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business gave them the confidence to approach YAPA not as a finished idea, but as something to test, refine and keep improving.

They turned to faculty members including Sean McMahon, professor of entrepreneurship; Elena Kennedy, associate professor of entrepreneurship; and Brittany Mercado, associate professor of management and chair of the Department of Management and Entrepreneurship.

“The ability to communicate clearly with people who know a lot more than we do has been huge,” Vargas-Lopez says. “The Love School of Business does an amazing job of making professors approachable.”

As YAPA developed, informal conversations became intentional. They stayed after class, brought specific questions to faculty and connected what they were learning in their courses to the choices they were making for the company. The feedback was not always easy, and that was part of its value.

“We don’t need people to just cheerlead,” Vargas-Lopez says. “We need people who will tell us what worked, what didn’t and how to improve. That’s what has really helped us move forward.”

Their time studying abroad also shaped the venture. Chiriboga was in Japan while
Vargas-Lopez was in Australia, making day-to-day operations difficult, so they used the distance to listen.

“We couldn’t really work on operations, so the only thing we could do was talk to people,” Chiriboga says.

They spoke with people in the Amazon, professionals at large companies and mentors in finance, gathering insight before returning to campus.

“We were sponges during that time,” Chiriboga says. “We just gathered as much information as we could.”

A Friendship First

Before they were co-founders, Vargas-Lopez and Chiriboga were friends. They built the kind of trust that later became essential to starting a company together. When one person could not take on a task, the other stepped in. When the work became overwhelming, the friendship helped steady them.

“If I cannot do something right now, I know Juan Daniel can do it, and vice versa,” Vargas-Lopez says. “That trust was built before the business.”

Living together strengthened that rhythm. It also taught them the importance of boundaries.

“We’ve gotten really good at knowing when to talk business and when not to,” Chiriboga says. “If it’s not working time, we try to focus on being friends and being present with other people.”

For Vargas-Lopez, the partnership has been less about dividing every task evenly and more about sharing responsibility over time.

“It’s not always 50-50 all the time,” he says. “But we know we’re in this together, and that makes it easier to handle everything that comes up.”

For Chiriboga, building YAPA with his best friend has been one of the most meaningful parts of the experience.

“I couldn’t be more grateful that my best friend is also my business partner,” he says.

Now based in Austin, Vargas-Lopez and Chiriboga are carrying YAPA into its next stage. The venture that started as a conversation between friends has become something people can open, taste and share.

The process has changed how they think about risk, learning and what it means to build something from scratch. It has also reinforced the value of starting before everything feels certain.

“Don’t be afraid to start,” Chiriboga says. “If you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will.”

Vargas-Lopez says the venture has taught him to stay open to what others know and humble enough to keep asking questions.

“Use your resources,” he says. “Ask questions. Learn from every conversation. We haven’t had a single meeting where we didn’t learn something.”

The Power+Place Collaborative encourages ������Ƶ students to break outside of the “������Ƶ bubble” to engage, learn and integrate with the Alamance County community. The Collaborative sets out to record, preserve, present and celebrate diverse stories through collecting oral histories from community members, with a goal of creating an inclusive future deeply rooted in community strength and resilience.

“We are different communities living in one city, so it’s very encouraging for me that some other communities are introduced to me and that there is intermingling and coexistence,” Arshad Sheikh, one of the “Cultivating Community” storytellers, said.

For this fall’s collection of stories, the Center for Design Thinking’s director Danielle Lake is collaborating with ������Ƶ associate professor of geography Sandy Marshall’s Global Migrations class, centered on the topics of migration, mobility and borders; in addition to professor of Spanish Nina Namaste’s Latinos in the U.S. class.

“We’ve always wanted these stories to be able to connect not just students, but community members and the broader community,” Marshall said. “This has really manifested a vision of intergenerational and intercultural connections of learning.”

The students in these classes will have the opportunity to interview eight different storytellers from Alamance County about their experiences in cultivating community bonds. The event at the Dream Center served as an introductory opportunity for the students to meet their storytellers. The Dream Center is a gathering place that serves as a “hub of activity” to cultivate a sense of belonging within the community, making it an important location for this impactful kickoff.

“I want to provide a listening ear and make Teresa’s story feel heard and validated,” Braeden Cullen said about his designated storyteller, Teresa Sanchez, whom he will be interviewing later in the semester.

The interviews students are conducting will be filmed by Power+Place Collaborative’s student filmmakers: Sandy Orozco-Ronaldo, Jordan Armstead and Natalie Alascia-Dittfurth. These interviews will premiere on Dec. 1 at the Power+Place Collaborative public screening event at the ������Ƶ Community Church.
