| NU Voices | Read perspectives from Northwestern faculty in national media. |  From Samer Attar, The Wall Street Journal "In Ukraine, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by feelings of helplessness. But I also saw people carrying on with courage and compassion. ... Whether in an underground clinic in Aleppo, a shattered hospital in Kharkiv, or an emergency room in Chicago, all we have is each other. When people ask me what I saw in Syria and Ukraine, aside from the horrors of war, that is what I want remembered," Samer Attar writes in The Wall Street Journal. |  From Laurel Harbridge-Yong, The Washington Post "How should observers interpret last week’s Ohio Republican primary results for its open U.S. Senate seat? Several top vote-getters vied for the MAGA vote, but J.D. Vance, best-selling author of “Hillbilly Elegy,” won after being endorsed by former president Donald Trump," Laurel Harbridge-Yong writes with co-authors in The Washington Post. |  From Tom O'Toole, Forbes "Executive education, and other forms of nondegree education, have become a substantial and growing part of the content economy. The disruption of COVID-19 accelerated this growth, but it's being driven by factors that are separate from and will endure after the pandemic," Tom O'Toole writes in Forbes. |
