Quick Glance: Protests at USC Lead to Cancellation of Commencement Ceremony

The University of Southern California canceled its main commencement ceremony, prompting students at other locations with protests to wonder if their ceremonies will be disrupted next.

USC's cancellation raised concerns among Columbia students, fearing their commencement could be disrupted. Other universities remain silent on potential adjustments to their ceremonies. Some students fear a domino effect following the protests at Columbia.

Students who missed high school graduation ceremonies due to the pandemic expressed concerns about their upcoming college commencement. USC announced the cancellation of its main ceremony, while Columbia contemplates potential disruptions to ensure campus community safety.

Quick Glance: Revolutionary Transplant: Heart Pump and Pig Kidney

The first transplant surgery combining a mechanical heart pump and a gene-edited pig kidney was successfully performed at NYU Langone Health.

The patient, 54-year-old Lisa Pisano from New Jersey, received the heart pump and pig kidney due to heart failure and end-stage kidney disease.

Experts view xenotransplants as crucial to addressing organ shortages by transplanting animal organs into humans.

Gene editing aims to prevent the human immune system from rejecting the animal organs, facilitating successful transplantations.

The Miami Heat evened up their NBA playoff series with the Boston Celtics with a 111-101 win in Game 2.

Despite Miami's unusually strong performance from beyond the arc, Boston stayed within striking distance.

The Celtics need to step up, especially Kristaps Porziņģis, to be successful.

Quick Glance: US Deports Haitians Amid Violence and Instability

Despite the increase in deadly gang violence and widespread instability in Haiti, the United States has deported dozens of Haitian citizens back to their country on a deportation flight.

The flight, which departed from Louisiana and made a stop in Miami, Florida, was the first deportation flight to Haiti since January.

Following the assassination of President Jovenel Moise in July 2021, Haiti has faced widespread gang violence in recent years.

Pressure is mounting on the United States to halt deportations to Haiti amid the crisis and extend the TPS program for Haiti.
