On May 2, 2022, the news outlet, Politico, received a leaked draft of the draft opinion that is 98 pages long. The incredibly rare leak of the supreme court decision revealed that the court will reconsider the standing of the Roe v. Wade case.

In 1973, Roe v. Wade was brought to the supreme court to settle whether abortions should be regulated or proscribed during the first trimester of one’s pregnancy. The supreme court came to the consensus that the woman should come to a decision with the consultation of her physician.

“I think Roe v. Wade opened doors for women in many ways. For example, it helped women who don’t have money or aren’t white. Many institutions make it hard to be a single mother and if you don’t have those resources, then getting an abortion is an important way to preserve your own life,” political science major at the University of Denver Ellie Stetson said.

Going to the public library with her husband, Vice-Chancellor of Marketing and Communications at the University of Denver, Renea Morris, made a commitment to figure out what career she wanted to pursue. She spent hours going through career guidebooks before she finally came across public relations (PR), and since then, she was set on becoming a PR manager.

As a public relations manager, the responsibilities of the career entail that you create and manage the media and content of a company. Managing a company’s or a celebrity’s public relations can be difficult due to the multiple differing opinions people can have around the nation and even the globe.

“When people ask me what my average day at work is, but each day looks different, and that’s why I enjoy it so much because there is something new each day,” Morris said.

Bellezza di Roma

Rome, Italy, a city known for its beauty, was being unappreciated by recent generations Dr. Raffaello Palumbo Mosca said in a speech, Rome: One and Many, on Monday, May 4, 2022. Mosca visited the University of Denver with help of the language department to present the history and natural beauty the city holds.  

Mosca received his doctorate at the University of Torin, and from the University of Chicago. He focuses his studies on Italy since he likes to show others the encapturing country, and how much history a small location can have.

“I have not taken a language course since it is not required for my major, and it was interesting to learn about the history of Italy since I have always wanted to learn more about it,” University of Denver student Faith Alexopoulos said. “You could tell he was extremely passionate about what he was talking about which made it entertaining and informative at the same time to me.”

During the second inning, the Phillies continued to persevere, and they scored another run. Phillies’ left fielder Matt Vierling hit a single, which allowed Phillies’ third baseman Alec Bohm to secure another run for the Phillies.

Most university students faced a shock when having to adjust to a new learning environment. The transition from going to class in person every day of the week to joining the classroom from a bed was not something anyone was prepared for.

COVID-19, a pandemic that occurred on December 31, 2019, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, caused disruption throughout the globe. The response that a majority of education boards had to this new situation was to use a new online streaming website called Zoom.
