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. - MATT HARMON ON THE DAILY: BEN CARSON’S TOWER OF TERROR ARNOLD ZHOU/Daily LSA senior Sarah Goetzke talks about how to discern if someone is a vampire as part of her creative project for Slavic 290.005 on Wednesday in North Quad.

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.” LECTURE From Page 1 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.
