👏👏 This is what a true mentorship should look like!
In business, in volunteerism, in athletics.
We all have something to learn from each other.

Jordan Chiles and Aly Raisman formed a close bond over the years, with the seven-year age difference inciting a mentorship dynamic early on.
Over time, though, something else happened: Raisman started to learn and benefit from Chiles, too.

Columbia University has agreed to terms set by the Trump administration in order to retain its federal funding. This includes a mask ban, and it’s unclear whether and how health exceptions would be implemented for people who, for example, are immunocompromised.
Caving to Trump's demands, Columbia University says it will ban mask-wearing
Enforcing such an order while allowing exceptions for health can be a dicey matter.

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws
Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds.
Gov Mills: See you in court

Shortly after Gov. Mills and Trump got into a heated exchange, the U.S. Department of Education said it would investigate Maine and the Cumberland-North Yarmouth school district for allowing a transgender athlete to compete in the girls track state finals last weekend.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday that seeks to ban transgender athletes from competing in girls’ and women’s sports. What could that mean for college athletes?
