Jeri Harashima and her husband Yuji were elated when Jeri could give birth to a healthy baby girl named Raine in February 2021.
However, the process it took for them to get to this point wasn’t easy. Two years before in 2019, when Jeri was pregnant for the first time, she miscarried while in the first trimester.

“They said they couldn’t hear the heartbeat and that scared me. I remember my whole body was paralyzed,” she said.

Daily Universe newsstands are located across BYU campus. The Daily Universe will print its last weekly edition on April 13. (Allison McArthur)
The Daily Universe will print its final weekly paper on April 13 as part of changes to BYU campus news labs.
The Daily Universe newspaper has been a core part of campus life since 1956 when the first daily newspapers were printed five days a week.
Starting in 2012, the Universe switched to weekly newspapers and after Winter Semester, the weekly print editions will shift to a monthly print periodical.
This change, along with other adjustments in the Newsline and Universe student labs, comes as a result of a journalism faculty task force that sought input from faculty and staff on how to better serve student needs in the journalism program.

Lita Little Giddins started struggling to figure out how to improve the art displayed within the College of Family, Home and Social Sciences when she joined the school’s new Committee for Diversity, Collaboration and inclusion in January 2020.
The collegeâs mission was to establish a Zion community, but she said the art in the halls did not reflect Zion or a diverse community.
