Dr. Jemisons experiments gave important information about the human body to produce better medicines and healthcare.In 2020, Liu Yang became the first Chinese women in space.

Originally, the Ivy League was an athletic conference made up of 8 private institutes of higher learning in northeastern United States. However, as time went on, these schools also became known for their excellence in academics besides athletics. Included in the Ivy League schools are Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Princeton University, University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, and Harvard University. These 8 schools have been recognized as some of the best colleges and universities in the United States.Harvard University is a private institution located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Harvard has also been described by Forbes Magazine as one of the “billionaire universities” as of their recent list of 469 billionaires, 50 received a degree from Harvard.Harvard College (the institute for undergraduate students) is one of the most famous schools in the United States. It offers over 40 undergraduate fields of study, including astrophysics（天体物理学）, mathematics, neurobiology(神经生物学), etc. And the financial aid program there is amazing. Even though the tuition is about 37,576, and there are other expenses throughout the year, about 70% of undergraduate students received financial aid. Out of those students, over 90% of them had their full need met. And the policies for international students are the same for U.S. citizens.Harvard College is very selective, as it only admits about 6% of their applicants. For admission into Harvard College, it is required that students take the SAT or the ACT, as well as 2 SAT Subject Tests. Harvard will also look at other factors during admission such as your application essay, high school transcript, work experience, GPA (Grade Point Average), your interview, recommendations, and most importantly, your character and personal qualities.28.

In her hand was an envelope containing her final grades. As she nervously opened it, Warren wondered whether her hundreds of hours of studying had paid off.They had.“I got five As,” she still recalls with elation. “I almost fell on the floor!”Warren would graduate from Suffolk University with a Bachelor of Science degree in philosophy and history at age 80. Three years later, at age 83; she would receive her second degree from Suffolk, a masters in education.Now, with both diplomas proudly displayed in her apartment, Warren is not finished with learning. Now 93, she continues for her 18th year at Suffolk under a program that allows persons 65 and over to attend classes tuition free. “Its my life to go to school, to enjoy being in an academic atmosphere,” she says. “Thats what I love.”Warren was born Rosalie Levey on Aug.29, 1900. Two years after she entered high school, her father died. Warren had to leave school for factory work to help support her familys 10 children. Warren describes herself as a “person who always liked school,” and she says the move “broke my heart completely because I couldnt finish high school.”In the end, however, “I went to school nights,” she recalls. “Any place I could find an outlet of learning and teaching, I was there.”A short time later, her mother became ill, and Warren had to care for her, once again putting her education on hold.Finally, in 1921, her mother, now recovered, drew from her saving to send Warren to Boston University for two years to study typing, stenography, and office procedures.Those courses helped Warren gain several long-term office positions over the next 60 years, but her great desire “to be in the academic field” continued.In 1924, she married Eugene Warren, and seven years later, her daughter, Corinne, was born. In 1955, by then a widow and a grandmother, Warren took a bus tour across the United States that was to last nine months. She said she wanted to see “things you never see in the West End.”When she returned home, she took a bookkeeping position and also enrolled in courses in philosophy, sociology and Chinese history.In 1975, when she was 75, Warren learned from a neighbor about Suffolk Universitys tuition- free program for senior citizens.” I was at the registrars office the very next day,” she recalls. At first, she took one or two courses at a time, but encouraged by her professors, she enrolled as a degree candidate.“I had not studied for so many years,” she says, “but I was determined.” For the next four years, Warren, who calls herself a “student of philosophy,” worked toward her degree.Nancy Stoll, dean of students at Suffolk, says Warren is “an interesting role model for our younger students-that learning is a lifetime activity.She is genuinely enthusiastic about being here, and that permeates (散发) her activities and is contagious (传染的) to students and faculty.”32.
