Philadelphia-based student housing developer and operator Campus Apartments has made three new leadership appointments across its investment, operations and asset management divisions, all of them promoted from within the company. Andrew Roth has been promoted to senior vice president of investments after over a decade at Campus. In his time at the company, Roth has advanced the company's investment strategy and expanded its footprint, participating in the acquisition and development of more than 8,500 student beds, totaling over $800 million in investment. In his new role, Roth will work closely with the executive team to deploy capital and identify opportunities for the company, according to the news release. Scott Caliguire, previously senior director, has been promoted to associate vice president of asset management.

He works cross-functionally to optimize revenue, manage expenses and mentor colleagues, according to the news release. Cara Castelli, a 16-year veteran of Campus Apartments, is transitioning from vice president of asset management to vice president of operations.

Hundreds rally at Michigan Capitol for Transgender Day of Visibility

(Photo by Andrew Roth/Michigan Advance) Organizers of a Transgender Day of Visibility rally in Lansing say the event was a 'living testament to trans joy, trans resistance and trans community.' Hundreds gathered on the lawn of the Capitol for around two hours Sunday for a rally featuring speakers, dance breaks and performances by local drag queens. Transgender Day of Visibility is celebrated internationally every year on March 31 after Michigan resident Rachel Crandall-Crocker founded the holiday in 2009 to create a day focused on the happiness of the transgender and nonbinary communities. Emme Zanotti, senior director of movement building and political affairs for Equality Michigan, said during the rally that 'Trans Day of Visibility certifies that we are here and solidifies that we are to be seen as living, breathing human beings' rather than 'just accepting that who we are as human beings is to be hidden, cast aside or kept a deep, dark secret.' While Trans Unity Coalition founder Bree Taylor said the current political climate is challenging, and transgender people have a right to feel hurt, she said it is important to 'find moments of celebration in the midst of adversity and to keep showing up with that joy.' 'When we decide to exist proudly in the public eye, we disrupt every storyline that says we can only be ashamed of ourselves or invisible,' Taylor said. Audra Wilson, who represents the transgender community on Michigan's LGBTQ+ Commission, said events like the rally provide a safe space for people to find a sense of belonging with other members of the community and allies. 'This is somewhere where, even though we're out in public, people get to be themselves. People get to feel safe. People get to be seen and be visible,' Wilson said. But creating a sense of community is just as important for people who may not be as comfortable sharing their identity publicly, Crossroads founder Grace Bacon said, encouraging the crowd to host small gatherings and be intentional about forming friendships. 'We have to ferret out the people who are scared to come out, give them a place to be, a time to be, so that they can be themselves for a little while,' Bacon said. Roz Keith, the founder of Stand with Trans, said that her goal when her son came out as transgender was to ensure that he felt supported and safe in his identity. 'What I learned through this journey is that being transgender is not about changing who you are, it's about becoming who you have always been,' Keith said. Taylor compared people's gender identities to their religion. 'It's something that can't be casually changed because someone else disapproves,' Taylor said. 'It is foundational to who we are, just like any belief that forms the very core of our own existence.' But while Zanotti said celebrating trans joy has been meaningful, she added that it's just the first step towards true acceptance. 'If these next generations are simply visible, it will not be enough,' Zanotti said. 'It will now be our mission and our responsibility to make sure that transgender people are not just seen, but to make sure we are heard, and to make damn sure that we are understood.'

See Vice President J.D. Vance booed at Kennedy Center concert
Vice President J.D. Vance had a memorable night at the theater Thursday, but it was probably not in the way that he wanted. The politician was booed loudly as he entered the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. The icy reception was caught on camera by The Guardian's Andrew Roth at a performance of the National Symphony Orchestra. The footage shows Vance smiling and waving to the crowd from his box seat as the jeers continued. See the moment in the video below. Boos for JD Vance as he enters tonight's concert at the Kennedy Center — Andrew Roth (@Andrew__Roth) March 13, 2025 It was just last month that President Donald Trump cleared the board of members who had been appointed by former President Joe Biden, eschewing the tradition of keeping it bipartisan. He installed the vice president's wife, Usha Vance, and the president's chief of staff, Susie Wiles, on the board. Deborah F. Rutter, who had been president of the Kennedy Center since 2014, was fired. New board in place, they then elected Trump as chairman of the beloved cultural institution. In the wake of Trump's changes, numerous celebrities made their distaste known. Producer and Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes resigned from her post as treasurer for the board. Musician Ben Folds ended his tenure as an artistic adviser to the NSO.

Producer and actress Issa Rae announced Feb. 13 that she was canceling her upcoming, sold-out performance because of what had transpired. "Unfortunately, due to what I believe to be an infringement on the values of an institution that has faithfully celebrated artists of all backgrounds through all mediums, I've decided to cancel my appearance at this venue," Rae said. "All tickets will be refunded. Thank you so much for understanding and I hope to see you soon."Several other performances, including the hit musical Hamilton, have been canceled. The Kennedy Center is "a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy" that was established in 1964. Trump has said that he intends to make the Kennedy Center a "very special and exciting place!"
