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.
