 Today the News Cycle focuses on responding to rhetoric from the Trump Administration about undocumented students and federal funding of education. A few weeks ago, we took a look at how the Trump Administration's economic plans will affect Davis residents. Now, students are worried about how they’ll be treated in the event of budget cuts or threats to their identity. We spoke with Matt Best, the superintendent of Davis Joint Unified School District, about a recent Op-ed he released that focused on the concerns of students and parents. Then, Elina Hibel covers budget cut concerns, and Rowan Reising gets a read on how students are feeling. 

Kindness in healthcare, like in other settings, is contagious. It spreads through social networks and can trigger a chain reaction where people feel the need to pay it forward, a phenomenon called prosocial contagion. Initiatives to promote kindness in healthcare improve clinical care and patient outcomes, and reduce stress and burnout among healthcare staff. Kris Vanhaecht tells us about the Mangomoments initiative in Belgium that demonstrated the ripple effects of small unexpected acts of kindness in clinical settings on patients and healthcare workers.
