Upstate medical student matches with top choice for pediatrics residency
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV)—For fourth-year medical students nationwide, Match Day is a moment of excitement and anticipation. Moravia falls to Honeoye in Class C Semifinals Sanders-AOC rallies setting stage for protest movement: Activist Upstate medical student matches with top choice for pediatrics residency Major League Baseball removes references to 'diversity' from MLB Careers home page Syracuse firefighters battle massive fire at Maria Regina campus At Upstate Medical University, students filled out the Oncenter, waiting for the exact moment they could open their envelopes and discover where they would start their residencies. One of the students, Nathan Ihemeremadu, the 2025 class president, said his experience was overwhelming. 'I was yelling, screaming. I was on the floor. It was a lot. I don't think I've ever yelled that loud in a while. It was electric, blinding, ecstatic. I can't say the words. I feel so full,' said Nathan. Nathan began the match process back in the fall, filling out applications, getting recommendations, and completing interviews with various programs across the country. From there, students and programs rate each other on a list from best to least, and both are surprised on Match Day. 'A different whirlwind experience for everyone, which is cool because now you get surprised, along with the programs. They also get surprised by who's coming to see them for residency in June,' Nathan said. When the clock struck noon, and Nathan could finally open this letter, all the handwork and dedication showed right here. When he opened it, he found out he was going to his number one choice—Northwestern! When breaking down the options, he felt welcome and at home in the program. He knew that he wanted to be there, and now, finally attending in June, practicing pediatrics, he's making a big difference in a small life. 'There is a lot of power and fulfillment working with such a small population because you really get to be that first person or one of the many people in that child's life that is a positive role model,' said Nathan.

Louisiana voters head to Washington D.C. for historic Supreme Court case
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Busloads of Louisiana voters are traveling to Washington, D.C. for a historic U.S. Supreme Court hearing on the state's congressional redistricting case. Residents from the Baton Rouge and New Orleans metro areas will make the trip on Saturday to attend the hearing for Louisiana v. Callais, scheduled for Monday, March 24. The case could have major implications for the future of Louisiana's congressional map and the representation of Black voters in the state. Louisiana governor signals support for new congressional map 'The State of Louisiana and its legislature were forced by a federal judge to draw fair maps, and so that's how we were able to get a second majority-minority congressional seat. And then Callais challenged that map, saying it was a racial gerrymander. Indeed, it was not,' said Ashley Shelton, President and CEO of Power Coalition. Shelton emphasized that the case is a pivotal moment in the ongoing fight for fair representation. 'This map was created by the Louisiana Legislature. There were significant political undertones in its creation. And for us, it's like the State of Louisiana and its elected leaders actually drew a fair map,' she said. Dozens of advocates, legal experts, and community leaders dedicated to protecting voting rights will attend the hearing, reinforcing the importance of ensuring Black voters—who make up nearly one-third of Louisiana's population—have an equal voice in the democratic process. 'We're hopeful that we'll be victorious. We'll have the opening arguments on Monday and certainly wait for the court's decision in June,' Shelton added. The Power Coalition for Equity and Justice, which is organizing the trip, is committed to empowering Louisiana communities through civic engagement, advocacy, and policy change. The organization works to educate and mobilize voters to create a more just and equitable future. Meanwhile, Louisiana voters are also preparing for the March 29 election. Shelton and the Power Coalition are urging residents to research the issues before heading to the polls. 'The March election is typically a much lower turnout election, and we want to ensure people understand there are four constitutional amendments on this ballot statewide. These amendments change our constitution,' Shelton said.
