Globetrotting with a purpose

By Janette Neuwahl Tannen [email protected] 05-02-2024

Just before college, Joelle Solowiejczyk got the chance to travel to Mumbai, India, where she saw an elderly man bathing in a polluted river. Further downstream, children were playing and drinking from the same waterway.

Distraught by the scene, Solowiejczyk decided to spend her years at the University of Miami focused on ways to offer clean water to more people. She changed her major to environmental engineering with a plan to focus on water and has spent much of the past four years working with faculty in the field.

Her dedication has paid off. Solowiejczyk is now among three accomplished seniors and a recent alumnus of the University of Miami selected for Fulbright U.S. Student Program awards to teach English or conduct research across the globe.

Solowiejczyk will be using her grant to design low-cost stormwater runoff   solutions for people living in Indonesia.

“I want to take my engineering, water resources, and management training to develop basic infrastructure that can help people optimize the use of runoff water for drought periods,” she said.

In addition, senior Laura Caram will be teaching English in Portugal and Lindsey Faucher, who is also graduating next week, will be teaching in Switzerland. Recent alumnus Kalid Gawon will be teaching English in Mongolia this summer.

The class of Fulbright students is the largest the University has had in nine years, said Erika Liberus, director of the Office of Prestigious Awards and Fellowships . And University administrators are thrilled. Funded by the U.S. Department of State, the Fulbright Program funds international exchange scholarships and awards for students as well as staff and faculty members through its Fulbright Scholars program. The program was named after the late Senator J. William Fulbright, the father of former University of Miami first lady, Roberta “Bosey” Fulbright Foote.

“The spirit of the Fulbright Program—to connect people from different countries and to promote mutual respect and understanding—is one facet of the University's mission—to transform lives—and I am proud that our students continue to do this work with Fulbright grants around the world,” said Maria Galli Stampino , dean of undergraduate affairs, and professor of Italian language and culture.

Gawon, a North Miami native whose parents immigrated from Nigeria, earned a Jack Kent Cooke Foundation scholarship to attend the University and graduated last December with a degree in political science and a minor in psychology. As a former Model United Nations delegate who is also interested in Asian culture, Gawon wanted to develop a more global perspective by working in Mongolia before hopefully starting law school next fall.

Gawon also enjoyed serving as a teaching assistant at Achieve Miami throughout high school. He watched many friends who immigrated from other countries learn English and thrive upon graduation.

“I am really excited and grateful for this experience,” Gawon said. “I want to help more people that want to learn English do so because I think everyone who wants to learn should be able to.”

Meanwhile, Lindsey Faucher, an international studies, psychology, and French major, will also be teaching English, but in Switzerland. As part of an internship in 2022, Faucher spent a summer in Portugal teaching English to young children, and she looks forward to doing it again in Switzerland because she believes that education is an important way to establish relationships between countries.

Faucher is also a Stamps Scholar and, as part of her scholarship, was able to attend a study abroad program in Switzerland last summer, when she enjoyed taking classes in the French-speaking region. However, she will be teaching in the German-speaking part of Switzerland this summer.

“It was always a dream of mine to work abroad, so this is a great step towards that,” said Faucher, who hopes to go into diplomacy. “International development is something I am really passionate about, since my parents came to the U.S. from Haiti. I was able to get more opportunities because of the place I was born, so in the future I want to give more opportunities to others and make connections between countries.”

Finally, Caram, who is studying international relations and English, also hopes to go into the foreign service. She will be teaching English to young students in Santarém, Portugal, through the Fulbright Program. Caram is a President’s Scholar who was born in Brazil, so she is fluent in Portuguese, which is a requirement of her very selective program.

But Caram also recognized her love for teaching and mentoring young students by working for Teach For America, where she virtually tutors Missouri third graders in reading. Caram also volunteers at South Miami Senior High School and taught a college preparatory class this spring.

“Through these experiences, I realized the potential that teachers have to make an impact on their students, and to shape minds and ideas,” said Caram, who is one of just six students teaching in Portugal. “I am excited for the Fulbright experience because I think it’s important to get to know the world around you and how the rest of it works, as well as how you work. This experience, it will equip me with the knowledge and tools I need to know myself and the world before I join the workforce.”

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Humiliating video captures the moment two “rowdy” passengers were led off a UK flight by cops — to the raucous cheers and laughter of others onboard.

The allegedly drunken duo were captured getting escorted off an easyJet flight from Tenerife to London’s Gatwick early Wednesday after a “rowdy” display, other passengers told the Daily Mail.

“A police officer emptied the passenger’s handbag onto the tarmac and a 1-litre vodka bottle that appeared to be almost empty fell out,” the passenger who filmed the pair told the outlet.

“They were both in a bad way.”

In the clip, one of the rowdy travelers can be seen looking at her phone while the other is holding a can as they are led off the packed flight.

The other passengers erupt into applause and cheers as the rowdy vacationers are finally removed from the aircraft by three Sussex police officers.

An easyJet spokesperson confirmed that the flight “was met by police on arrival due to a passenger behaving disruptively onboard.”

“EasyJet’s cabin crew are trained to assess and evaluate all situations and to act quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other passengers is not compromised at any time,” the rep said.

The airline noted that while these incidents are “rare,” they “take them very seriously and do not tolerate disruptive behavior onboard.”

“The safety and wellbeing of passengers and crew is always easyJet’s highest priority,” the airline added.

Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake Beef Goes Nuclear: What to Know

The two rappers had circled one another for more than a decade, but their attacks turned relentless and very personal in a slew of tracks released over the weekend.

By Joe Coscarelli

The long-building and increasingly testy rap beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake exploded into full-bore acrimony and unverifiable accusations over the weekend. Both artists rapid-fire released multiple songs littered with attacks regarding race, appropriation, sexual and physical abuse, body image, misogyny, hypocrisy, generational trauma and more.

Most relentless was Lamar, a Pulitzer Prize winner from Compton, Calif., who tends toward the isolated and considered but has now released four verbose and conceptual diss tracks — totaling more than 20 minutes of new music — targeting Drake in the last week, including three since Friday.

Each racked up millions of streams and the three that were made available commercially — “Euphoria,” “Meet the Grahams” and “Not Like Us” — are expected to land near the top of next week’s Billboard singles chart, while seeming to, at least momentarily, shift the public perception of Drake, long a maestro of the online public arena and meme ecosystem .

In between, on Friday night, Drake released his own broadside against Lamar — plus a smattering of other recent challengers — in a teasing Instagram interlude plus a three-part track and elaborate music video titled “Family Matters,” in which he referred to his rival as a fake activist and attempted to expose friction and alleged abuse in Lamar’s romantic relationship.

But that song was followed within half an hour by Lamar’s “Meet the Grahams,” an ominous extended address to the parents and young son of Drake, born Aubrey Graham, in which Lamar refers to his rival rapper as a liar and “pervert” who “should die” in order to make the world safer for women.

Lamar also seemed to assert that Drake had more than a decade ago fathered a secret daughter — echoing the big reveal of his son from Drake’s last headline rap beef — a claim Drake quickly denied on Instagram before hitting back in another song on Sunday. (Neither man has addressed the full array of rapped allegations directly.)

On Tuesday, a security guard was shot and seriously injured outside of Drake’s Toronto home, which appeared on the cover art for Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” Authorities said they could not yet speak to a motive in the shooting, but the investigation was ongoing. Representatives for Drake and Lamar did not immediately comment.

How did two of the most famous artists in the world decide to take the gloves off and bring real-life venom into an extended sparring match for rap supremacy? It was weeks, months and years in the making, with a sudden, breakneck escalation into hip-hop infamy. Here’s a breakdown.

Since late March, the much-anticipated head-to-head seemed inevitable. Following years of “will they or won’t they?” lyrical feints, Lamar hit directly on record first this year during a surprise appearance on the song “Like That” by the Atlanta rapper Future and the producer Metro Boomin, both formerly frequent Drake collaborators.

With audible disgust, Lamar invoked the track “First Person Shooter” from last year’s Drake album, “For All the Dogs,” in which a guest verse from J. Cole referred to himself, Drake and Lamar as “the big three” of modern MCs.

Lamar took exception to the grouping, declaring that there was no big three, “just big me.” He also called himself the Prince to Drake’s Michael Jackson — a deeper, more complex artist versus a troubled, pop-oriented hitmaker.

“Like That” spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, as Future and Metro Boomin released two chart-topping albums — “We Don’t Trust You” and “We Still Don’t Trust You” — that were anchored by a parade of Drake’s past associates, each of whom seemed to share a simmering distaste toward the rapper, who later called the ambush a “20 v. 1” fight.

In early April, J. Cole fought back momentarily , releasing the song “7 Minute Drill,” in which he called Lamar overrated, before backtracking, apologizing and having the song removed from streaming services. But Drake soon picked up the baton, releasing a wide-ranging diss track called “Push Ups” less than a week later that addressed the field, with a special focus on Lamar’s height, shoe size and supposedly disadvantageous business dealings.

Less than a week later, Drake mocked Lamar’s lack of a response on “Taylor Made Freestyle,” a track released only on social media. It featured Drake taunting Lamar for being scared to release music at the same time as Taylor Swift and using A.I. voice filters to mimic Tupac and Snoop Dogg imploring Lamar to battle for the good of the West Coast.

“Since ‘Like That,’ your tone changed a little, you not as enthused,” Drake rapped in an abbreviated third verse, as himself. “How are you not in the booth? It feel like you kinda removed.” (“Taylor Made Freestyle” was later removed from the internet at the request of the Tupac Estate.)

But it was a seemingly tossed-off line from the earlier “Push Ups” that included the name of Lamar’s longtime romantic partner — “I be with some bodyguards like Whitney” — that Lamar would later allude to as a red line crossed, making all subject matter fair game in the songs to come. (It was this same alleged faux pas that may have triggered an intensification of Drake’s beef with Pusha T in 2018.)

How We Got Here

Even with Drake-dissing cameos from Future, Ye (formerly Kanye West), Rick Ross, the Weeknd and ASAP Rocky, the main event was always going to be between Drake, 37, and Lamar, 36, who have spent more than a decade subtly antagonizing one another in songs while maintaining an icy frenemy rapport in public.

In 2011, when Drake introduced Lamar to mainstream audiences with a dedicated showcase on his second album, “Take Care,” and an opening slot on the subsequent arena tour, the tone was one of side-eying competition. “He said that he was the same age as myself/and it didn’t help ’cause it made me even more rude and impatient,” Lamar rapped on “Buried Alive Interlude” of his earliest encounter with a more-famous Drake. (On his Instagram on Friday, Drake released a parody of the track, citing Lamar’s jealousy since then.)

The pair went on to appear together on “Poetic Justice,” a single from Lamar’s debut album, “Good Kid, M.A.A.D City,” in 2012, as well as “___ Problems” by ASAP Rocky the same year.

But their collaborations ceased as Drake became his generation’s premier hitmaker across styles in hip-hop and beyond, while Lamar burrowed deeper into his own psyche on knotty concept albums that brought wide critical acclaim alongside less constant commercial success.

When asked, the two rappers tended to profess admiration for one another’s skill, but seemed to trade subtle digs in verses over the years, always with plausible deniability and in the spirit of competition, leading to something of a hip-hop cold war.

The Week It Went Nuclear

Lamar’s first targeted response, “Euphoria,” was more than six minutes long and released last Tuesday morning. In three sections that raised the temperature as they built, he warned Drake about proceeding and insisted, somewhat facetiously, that things were still friendly. “Know you a master manipulator and habitual liar too,” Lamar rapped. “But don’t tell no lie about me and I won’t tell truths ’bout you.”

He accused the biracial Drake, who was born and raised in Toronto, of imitating Black American heritage and insulting him subliminally. “I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk, I hate the way that you dress,” Lamar said. “I hate the way that you sneak diss, if I catch flight, it’s gon’ be direct.” And he called Drake’s standing as a father into question: “Teachin’ him morals, integrity, discipline/listen, man, you don’t know nothin’ ’bout that.”

Days later, Lamar doubled down with an Instagram-only track called “6:16 in LA,” borrowing both Drake’s “Back to Back” diss tactic from his 2015 beef with Meek Mill and a song title structure lifted from what is known as Drake’s time-stamp series of raps. Opting for psychological warfare on a beat produced in part by Jack Antonoff, Swift’s chief collaborator, Lamar hinted that he had a mole in Drake’s operation and was aware of his opponent’s opposition research.

“Fake bully, I hate bullies, you must be a terrible person,” he rapped. “Everyone inside your team is whispering that you deserve it.”

That night, Drake’s “Family Matters” started with its own justification for getting personal — “You mentioned my seed, now deal with his dad/I gotta go bad, I gotta go bad” — before taking on Lamar’s fatherhood and standing as a man in excruciating detail. “They hired a crisis management team to clean up the fact that you beat on your queen,” Drake rapped. “The picture you painted ain’t what it seem/you’re dead.”

Yet in a chess move that seemed to anticipate Drake’s familial line of attack, Lamar’s “Meet the Grahams” was released almost immediately. “This supposed to be a good exhibition within the game,” Lamar said, noting that Drake had erred “the moment you called out my family’s name.” Instead of a rap battle, Lamar concluded after another six minutes of psychological dissection, “this a long life battle with yourself.”

He wasn’t done yet. Dispensing with subtlety, Lamar followed up again less than 24 hours later with “Not Like Us,” a bouncy club record in a Los Angeles style that delighted in more traditional rap beef territory, like juvenile insults, proudly unsubstantiated claims of sexual preferences and threats of violence.

Lamar, however, didn’t leave it at that, throwing one more shot at Drake’s authenticity as a rapper, calling him a greedy and artificial user as a collaborator — “not a colleague,” but a “colonizer.”

On Sunday evening, Drake responded yet again. On “The Heart Part 6,” a title taken from Lamar’s career-spanning series, Drake denied the accusation that he preyed on young women, indicated that he had planted the bad information about his fake daughter and seemed to sigh away the fight as “some good exercise.”

“It’s good to get out, get the pen working,” Drake said in an exhausted outro. “You would be a worthy competitor if I was really a predator.” He added, “You know, at least your fans are getting some raps out of you. I’m happy I could motivate you.”
