When the elevator in
your apartment is stuck, you
blame it on the landlord.
Most would never expect Ben
Carson, the United States
Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development, however, to be in
this situation himself.
According to the Miami
Herald, Carson, a University
of Michigan Medical School
alum and former Republican
presidential candidate, was
trapped in a Miami apartment
complex elevator Wednesday
morning.
With Miami Heat basketball
icon Alonzo Mourning awaiting
his descent in the lobby, Carson
and six other people were stuck
until local authorities pried the
doors open.
Carson was on the third
stop of his national listening
tour for HUD and was being
led through the $22.8 million
Courtside Family Apartments.
In his group was Michael Liu,
the Miami-Dade County Public
Housing Director.
After observing the roof of
the complex, Carson got into the
infamous elevator and remained
in it for 20 minutes.
According to the Herald,
Carson took the accident in
good stride and continued on
his tour of Miami.

Each speaker interpreted the
themes of political bubbles and
polarization
differently,
and
encouraged graduating students
to do the same. Ann Lin, an
associate professor of Public
Policy, relayed the importance
of understanding these different
perspectives.
“There will be moments where
you see an issue, a person, a
problem that is not fundamentally
you,” Lin said. “And yet, there is
some way with which you can
identify with it.”
Other
speakers
included
Public
Policy
Dean
Susan
Collins, Assistant Prof. Megan
Tompkins-Stange,
Associate
Prof.
Shobita
Parthasarathy
and U.S. Ambassador Melvyn
Levitsky. Speakers touched on
subjects including life advice for
seniors and memories of the late
President Gerald Ford, clearly
distinguishing each speaker from
the next. Public Policy junior Aditi
Katti said she was surprised by
the range of topics.
“I didn’t know that they would
be speaking about the same topic
from very different perspectives,”
Katti said. “It was very cool
that we got a diverse range of
perspectives and ideas.”
As the faculty featured at the
capstone event were chosen by the
students themselves, Lin said the
event was especially meaningful
and twofold.
“It’s really an honor after
(students) listen to you for a whole
semester, they still want to hear
something that you have to say,”
Lin said.
Sundar noted the significance
of having these faculty members
present.
“We picked the speakers based
on the feedback of our classmates
— we approached the educators
they thought had left the biggest
impact on them and they wanted
to hear more from,” Sundar said.
“I also hope that (the lecture) will
add on to the education (students)
have received at the Ford School
and equip them with the soft
skills to engage in meaningful
introspection
and
productive
debate, and be better problem
solvers and policy-makers.”

what she sets out to do and
usually much more.”
Jawad cited her various
involvements at the University
as instrumental to applying to
and receiving this scholarship,
such
as
her
three-year
involvement in CSG, Books
for a Benefit — a student
organization she co-founded
to promote children’s literacy
in the metro Detroit area —
and work in a research lab
focused on HPV and oncology.
“What really helped me is
the wide range of activities
I’m involved in,” Jawad said.
“I wouldn’t attribute it to one
specific activity, I’d rather say
that the overlapping activities
really defined my experience
and helped me with the
application process.”
Henry Dyson, director of the
Office of National Scholarships
and Fellowships, said Jawad
is the second student in two
years at the University to win
a Truman Scholarship. In an
email interview, he wrote he
hopes the University continues
the trend of performing well
with the Truman Scholarship
by supporting candidates like
Jawad.
“Of
all
the
prestigious
scholarships
that
I
work
with,
I
feel
a
particular
connection to the Truman
because
it
celebrates
the
same educational ideals that
make Michigan such a great
public university: academic
excellence,
demonstrated
leadership,
and
a
strong
commitment
to
serve
the
common good,” he wrote.
“Nadine truly represents each
of these ideals. Every time I
meet with her, I’m inspired to
renew my own commitment
to serving others — it just
radiates from her.”
Anthropology Prof. Holly
Peters-Golden wrote in an
email
interview
Jawad’s
motivation was a large factor
in her receiving this award.
