All about Xavier University in Cincinnati: Admissions, scholarships and more
Having over 200 universities in the United States, Xavier University, which is ranked within the top 200, is well-known for its personalized approach to teaching as well as academic excellence. In this encouraging environment, students have the opportunity to grow not merely on the intellectual level, but also professionally and personally. University fosters an environment with great emphasis on connection, creativity, and inquiry to reinforce student success. Opportunities for University students are unparalleled when it comes to specialized training for the job market of today. The success rate of university graduates exceeds 98%, as graduates are either employed, studying, or working within the first six months after graduation. Experiential learning opportunities abound for university students. One example is the Integrated Hands-on Program, which supports students through career advancement, cooperation, internships, and work experience programs that combine their education and practical expertise. These provide learners with the tools and skills they need to be successful in a global labor market. University also opens doors to an array of global opportunities. International alumni networks, foreign internships, and foreign study programs expose students to a series of cultures and career options. These experiences make their horizon wider and increase their adaptability and global competence, two crucial qualities that are highly valuable in today's interconnected world. The core of University's identity is a warm and inclusive environment. A university with students from around 40 different countries embraces a multicultural environment where students from every part of the world have equal significance. The standard resource for all international students of the university is the Center for International Education (CIE). It facilitates integration easily and without stress to study in the US, such as orientation workshops, visa guidance, and providing essential services such as ongoing academic and cultural support. Its affordability is another crucial parameter that encourages international students to enroll in university. The university has developed merit-based scholarships that range from $20,000 to $30,000 for both national and international students. This, which is in addition to University's already-favourable tuition, makes a good-quality American education more affordable. Aishani Mukherjee, a computer science majorwith a focus on cybersecurity andan overseas student herself,said she found an environment of belonging from day one at the university. "I first learned about University through one of my family friends living in Cincinnati, who recommended this school because of its small student-to-teacher ratio and personalized attention to each student,' Mukherjee said. 'From my very first day, I felt welcomed and supported by the faculty at University. The CIE made the transition to a new country feel smooth and stress-free. They have incredible support systems that we, as international students, can rely on. The classes are interactive, with room for open discussions and creativity. The professors are genuinely invested in your growth, offering guidance and support. They encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and explore new opportunities. 'Beyond academics, the campus is lively, with many organisations and clubs that make it easy to find your community. I would highly recommend University to anyone looking for a supportive environment where they can grow both academically and personally.' Mukherjee's experience is consistent with others who find University as an institution of academic intensity and individual growth. Each student benefits from the academically stimulating and supportive environment created by the faculty, services, and engaged campus community at the university. In a move to deepen international engagement, Xavier University's Vice President for Strategic Enrollment Management, Scott Clyde, recently toured key cities in India to meet with aspiring students, families, and school counselors. The visit reaffirmed University's commitment to delivering a high-quality U.S. education rooted in personal support, strong career outcomes, and affordability — all priorities for Indian students. Clyde noted how closely University's mission aligns with the aspirations of Indian families seeking trusted global pathways. Located in Cincinnati, a city known for its affordability and strong industrial connections, Xavier University not only offers promising career prospects but also fosters a nurturing environment rooted in Jesuit values. Xavier University is an excellent choice for international students interested in studying at a world-class academic institution in a welcoming, globally connected environment. University has strong academic programs, excellent professional outcomes, scholarship resources, and a student-centered approach — all of which enable students the opportunity for success. Applications for admission are still open for Indian here to start your application. Disclaimer: This article has been produced on behalf of the brand by HT Brand Studio.

Cutting paraprofessionals will break CPS Montessori classrooms
Cincinnati Public Schools is unique for its awesome nine Montessori communities. The district is a leader nationwide and had the first free public Montessori elementary and high school in the country. CPS is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Montessori education. From the West Side to the East Side, Cincinnati's Montessori schools are thriving and full, with a ninth Montessori school to open in the fall of 2025 to fill the gap from the sudden closure of Xavier University's Montessori Lab School. Montessori schools are caring communities, promoting compassion, creativity, curiosity and hands-on learning. As a parent of two who are enrolled in a Montessori elementary school, I am so thankful we have such amazing, free Montessori programs in our city. More: Timeline of Montessori education in Cincinnati Recently, the district's superintendent and the treasurer presented proposed budget cuts to the school board, which included reducing classroom paraprofessionals in Montessori schools by half. Montessori classrooms are designed to encourage hands-on and independent learning. They run similar to an orchestra. The teacher is the conductor, the paraprofessional in the classroom is the concertmaster, supporting both students and the teacher, while the students are the musicians. Each role is important to creating the symphony of learning within a Montessori environment. One of the hallmarks of Montessori education is a multi-grade classroom. One adult cannot be expected to manage a community of learners in different grades who are sorting through different works (assignments) alone. Paraprofessionals are vital to kids in the classroom, especially supporting kids who may struggle or need to refocus. I love that my kids have a chance to have another caring adult in their lives. Not only is reducing paraprofessionals harmful to kids in the classroom, but it also goes against the board-approved Montessori curriculum, which has taken years to approve and officially adopt. More: Lemonade out of lemons: How Montessori parents opened a new school in 100 days Reducing paraprofessionals will also compromise the integrity and efficacy of Montessori learning in the district. This change would put the high schools at risk of losing their prestigious American Montessori accreditation, and the elementary schools would never be able to earn accreditation. Montessori without paraprofessionals does not work. We will cripple our healthy, thriving, full Montessori schools to get a dysfunctional Montessorta mess. Maria would not approve. Our superintendent and school board are facing an impossible task due to the cuts to education at the federal and state levels. These cuts are taking place as a result of our state leaders ignoring the bipartisan fair school funding formula and will cause CPS to lose $39 million (all to give the stinking Cleveland Browns $600 million for a stadium). More: Cincinnati Public Schools to lose city health department nurses. What to know I am calling all of our state senators on the finance committee to ask them to hold up their end of the bargain and uphold our state constitution. But now I'm imploring Superintendent Shauna Murphy and the CPS board, please do not take away caring adults from the classroom. This does not jibe with the #HereForKids promise. Let's play to our strengths and uphold the Cincinnati tradition of the nation's best public Montessori schools. Our kids are worth it. Sarah Beach is a proud parent of two Gamble Montessori Elementary students in Westwood.

Lakers G League player wears his jersey while getting his Master's degree
Many NBA players put off getting their full college education in order to chase their dreams of basketball stardom. Some times they don't work out, and even when they do, plenty of them eventually return to school to get their degrees. But one player in the Los Angeles Lakers' organization not only got his bachelor's degree but also completed his master's degree as well. He did the latter back in December at Xavier University and earned a master's in sport administration. Advertisement This weekend, Olivari officially received his master's degree, and he wore a Lakers jersey underneath his graduation gown at the ceremony. The guard played for the Lakers in last year's summer league and signed an Exhibit 10 contract with them. After looking impressive during the exhibition season, he earned a two-way contract with them, and even though he was waived in January, he remained with their G League affiliate. He has made himself stand out thanks to his positive energy and infectious attitude. Even if he doesn't make it with the Purple and Gold, he should have a good chance of sticking with another team.

New Orleans celebrates "7th Ward Pope"
As a historically Catholic city, New Orleans was always going to celebrate the new pope. Catch up quick: Historic New Orleans Collection genealogist Jari Honora has shared research into Pope Leo's background, which showed he has maternal grandparents from New Orleans who once identified as people of color. Between the lines: The pope himself has not commented on his origins, which appear to have been a surprise to his brother, who told The New York Times that his family did not identify as Black. But they also don't seem to have discussed it much. "It was never an issue," John Prevost told the newspaper. What they're saying: At a Thursday night gala honoring Xavier University's centennial, attendees were often overheard exclaiming that, "He's one of us!" Xavier is the nation's only historically Black and Catholic college. Local social media also reacted accordingly to celebrate a pope " out tha 7th Ward." There were memes of Popeyes fried chicken becoming "Pope Yes" fried chicken, with Dirty Coast noting that "When the smoke is white, your order's ready!" In one image, the smoke of the Sistine Chapel billowed out in purple, green and gold. AI-generated imagery contributed to a lot of the glee, including a picture of Pope Leo enjoying some gumbo and a platter of boiled crawfish. One of our favorites is an AI-generated video of the pope buckjumping at a second-line. (See it below.)

'It's hard to let go of Larry'. Sheriff remarks on deputy's life after 2 days of services
After two days of ceremonies honoring the life and public service of a Hamilton County Sheriff's deputy prosecutors say was "targeted and killed,' Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey said his courage 'reached beyond Hamilton County, beyond the state of Ohio.' McGuffey, wearing a ceremonial uniform, spoke briefly to reporters on May 9 shortly after the end of Hamilton County Sheriff's Deputy Larry Ray Henderson Jr.'s funeral service at Spring Grove Cemetery. 'He was courageous. He was honored. He was a deputy that all deputies aspire to be,' McGuffey said. She also expressed gratitude for the messages of support that have come from people across the nation. Family, friends and fellow law enforcement officers gathered for a final time around Henderson, who was struck by a car and killed May 2 while directing traffic outside the University of Cincinnati's commencement ceremony. Henderson was honored during a public visitation and service at Xavier University's Cintas Center, followed by a graveside ceremony and burial at Spring Grove. Strangers paying their respects to Henderson stood quietly while lining the street outside Spring Grove to view the procession as it drove through the cemetery gates early in the afternoon. It included police officers from agencies all across Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky. 'This was a horrible tragedy,' said Don Garrett, a 77-year-old Vietnam War veteran who lives in Finneytown. The final service featured a flyover, a ceremonial flag folding and a 21-gun salute, all time-honored traditions meant to show reverence for Henderson's life and service, McGuffey said. 'When I presented the flag to his family, I noted that it was on the behalf of a grateful nation and the Hamilton County Sheriff's Department that I present that flag for Larry's courageous career,' McGuffey said. Henderson, a Marine Corps veteran, served 33 years with the sheriff's office before retiring in December 2024. Henderson even volunteered to work in a specialized unit diffusing bombs, McGuffey said. Henderson continued to work as a special deputy after his retirement, taking assignments like the traffic detail he was working on the day of his death. 'It's hard to let go of Larry,' McGuffey said. 'It's very hard to let go.' The man charged in Henderson's death, Rodney Hinton Jr., is accused of intentionally driving his car into Henderson in apparent retaliation for the shooting death of his 18-year-old son, Ryan. The young man was shot and killed May 1 by a Cincinnati police officer while running from a stolen car with a gun. Hinton is charged with aggravated murder and could face the death penalty if convicted.
