Jin believes the local Syracuse communities are capable of tolerating the chaos on campus. “I love to go to these events, you know to meet new people, interact, have, and I think it’s a good thing.” There were no outdoor events, so having concerts, having football games, that’s kind of refreshing,” Jin said. Jin believes events like Juice Jam are great opportunities to bring energy and camaraderie back to the campus community.
