Famous Kv Students
Barbra Lidder
The case, DeShaney v. Winnebago County, centered around a child named Joshua who had been repeatedly beaten by his father. Despite the many warnings the social-service agencies of Wisconsin had received, nobody had come to Joshua's rescue, and he had ended up in a vegetative state. Joshua's guardian sued the social workers and other officials whose inaction had permitted these terrible beatings to occur, claiming that their irresponsible failure to act had deprived Joshua of his liberty in violation of the U.S. Constitution. But the Supreme Court found no violation because, in the reasoning of then-justice William Rehnquist, the state's agents had been guilty of nothing more than "inaction." Barack and I both agreed that the distinction between "action" and "inaction" was not significant enough to justify so brutal a result.
Still, I found myself thinking about one aspect of that 1977 course as I listened to the Supreme Court's oral arguments on the Affordable Care Act in March. In that class and others over the years, I had spoken about two well-established legal principles: that Congress can properly use its taxing power to regulate behavior, and that the Supreme Court should make every effort to uphold an act of Congress whenever fairly possible. So I was particularly struck by the chief justice's questions at the oral arguments about whether it makes sense to insist on calling the act a "mandate" when the only thing that happens when you don't do what's required is a modest increase in the taxes you owe to the IRS. Labels might not be decisive, Roberts seemed to be saying: how things work in practice sometimes matters more than what they're called. That was the moment I started thinking that the chief justice might well cast the decisive vote to uphold the mandate as an exercise of the taxing power, a prediction I made publicly at a time when few others expected either that outcome or that line of reasoning.
Of course, I don't have any reason to imagine that Roberts recalled anything in particular from the constitutional law course he took with me 35 years earlier. The man has a prodigious memory, but he has plenty of other things to recall. And he obviously had his own well-formed judicial philosophy by the time this case reached him, a philosophy undoubtedly shaped more by the time he spent as a law clerk to Rehnquist than by his education at Harvard Law School.
President Obama wasn't in the courtroom when I listened to the chief justice's questions, but my mind flashed back to the only time I had ever seen Obama and Roberts together: when I sat on the Washington Mall in bone-chilling cold on Inauguration Day, Jan. 20, 2009. It was an unforgettable experience to watch one of my former students administer the oath of office to another. Certainly, the two have had disagreements in the years since, most notably over the court's controversial campaign-finance ruling in Citizens United. And certainly, Roberts is at least as conservative as Obama is liberal. But looking back at the events of the past few years and the past few weeks, it seems clear that both men share at least one guiding value: a genuine belief that pragmatism and even compromise can coexist with principle.
We are proud to count visionary CEOs and scientists; famous conservationists and authors; winners of Oscars, Grammys, Emmys, and Pulitzer Prizes; and a past U.S. president among those with Johns Hopkins degrees.
From the beginning of every journey at LMU, every student dreams of only one thing: leaving. Many have theorized this is due to the pungent stench of LMU students who enjoy Burns Recreation Center more than they enjoy showering. This could also be a side-effect of caring more about their fraternity chapter than the contents of their textbook chapter. These are cruel and unfair assumptions about LMU students, when in reality, it is only around 98%-99% true. A gross generalization to say the least.
As someone on track to graduate within four years, I always wonder why people choose to graduate early. It is undeniable that this decision could save the average college student thousands of dollars and headaches, but maybe they just really wanted a good commencement speaker.
I am trying to introduce some mathematical problems (Better to be famous in the math community) to a group of senior high school students with a typical background in high school mathematics like (differentiation and applications - basic probability- basic plane geometry- little combinatorics, and graph theory and basic number theory and introductory linear algebra which are common to solve a system of linear equations.)
Actually, my friends and I are trying to introduce mathematics to senior high school students; in between, we would like to present them with some famous math problems in which there were some unsuccessful attempts to solve them, but at last, they've been solved. Or famous wrong conjectures which were thought to be correct. Through this, we wanted to emphasize that even mathematicians at a high level can get wrong, and guessing wrong or failing an attempt shouldn't worry you in studying mathematics
I learned NYU meals were so bizarre and inedible that the administration eventually transferred meal responsibility to Grubhub, for which students received credit in the amount of $30 per day for the duration of quarantine. I was proud of Yale for doing it better, so I decided to post.
So, I slid into the DMs of the TikTokers who I knew could help me grow: Harvard College students. Frankly, Harvard students were far more popular on TikTok than any Yalie, and I knew I could count on them to give me honest and matter-of-fact advice.
Although discussing my high school stats and study habits on social media horrifies me, I respect the hustle and figured Jordan could help me discern if there was something about Yale that might be curbing our growth. After all, why were there no viral Yale TikTokers?
On a leave of absence in Los Angeles, Claira expects to complete her final semester at Harvard this spring. She plans to continue making TikToks casually for her followers and advised me that finding a niche is necessary to build an audience on the platform.
I wanted it to be good. I wrote lyrics, taught myself how to produce music on GarageBand and recorded and edited a 30-second video containing an outfit change and a call-to-action to check out the affiliate link in my bio.
What values are most important to you? What issues do you care most about, and why? You truly can change the world for the better when you act on what matters most to you. You can change yourself positively, as well, since research among college students and others shows that activists can experience greater well-being from their work. Here are some famous quotes on student activism and well-being:

Heparin, insulin, the sinoatrial node and ether anaesthesia are just some of the major discoveries made by medical students, all of which have had a huge impact on the practice of surgery. This paper explores the breadth and depth of some of these talented individuals and their extraordinary contributions to medicine. While some continued to enjoy brilliant careers, others became embroiled in damaging disputes about priority or were overtaken by illness or personal problems. Regardless of their fate, their contributions are a potent reminder of what can be achieved by gifted and determined medical students undertaking a period of basic scientific or clinical research.
We're not the type to brag, but... some pretty well-known names decided to pursue their studies at Siena College. Some already go here, some just made their deposits. We probably shouldn't be revealing their identities, but we're just too stoked not to. Take a look.
1. Katniss Everdeen. Hailing from District 12 (we think maybe that's somewhere in Florida?), Katniss is currently a junior social work major and founder of the Archery Club. When she's not studying, shooting arrows or involved in something at the Sister Thea Bowman Center for Women, she's in the dining hall. Always hungry, that one...
2. Eleven. A very gifted young girl with psychokinetic abilities, Eleven is joining the Class of 2021 as an Exploring Science student. (She doesn't, however, want to spend any time in lab rooms.) Also, if you're craving Eggo waffles, she plans on hoarding them in her dorm room.
3. Tina Belcher. Tina is a core member of our English Society, where she can freely share her creative fan fiction. While the sophomore English major has considered trying out for our Dance Team, she's been a little busy driving home to Ocean City, New Jersey to help out at her father's burger joint.
4. Daryl Dixon. Slightly older (and dirtier) than the rest of our students, Daryl enrolled in Siena to major in American Studies and minor in Medieval and Renaissance Studies. Our awesome basketball team keeps begging him to join, but he prefers hanging out in the woods or exploring the Capital Region on motorcycle.
5. Harry Potter. Believe it or not, the wizard we all know and love is dropping everything to become a Saint. He heard about our Qudditch Club and is also intrigued by the Stack Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. He was a little picky about which residence hall he wanted to be in, but ultimately decided they're all pretty sweet.
For some students, the path to a college degree ends up involving more than one college. According to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, 37% of college students transfer at least once. However, many students are apprehensive about doing so, having picked up the misconception that it will reflect poorly on their academic record.
Barack Obama, 44th president of the United States, transferred from Occidental College to Columbia University, where he majored in political science. The fact is, several U.S. presidents and presidential candidates, from Woodrow Wilson and Donald Trump to Bernie Sanders and Mitt Romney, were transfer students. As holders of or serious contenders for the single highest office in the land, they rank among the most influential American transfer students ever.
