Jingdezhen Ceramic University held a special solo ceremony on June 14 for a student who underwent a stem cell donation the day before his graduation.

Xie Zhilong, a physical education student who enrolled in 2020, was informed by the Jiangxi Provincial People's Hospital in May that they had found a match for his donation: a patient with a blood disease. In a letter thanking him, the recipient wrote, "Your kindness has filled me with warmth and hope. May your good actions be recognized and respected by more people, and may your life be filled with joy and happiness."

Biden's exit: What it means for student loan forgiveness
With President Joe Biden exiting the presidential race, one of the questions borrowers may have is about the future of student loan forgiveness. Jennifer Finetti, ScholarshipOwl's Director of Student Advocacy, joins Wealth! to discuss the potential implications for borrowers. While Finetti is cautious about assuming that current Vice President Kamala Harris will adopt the exact same approach to relief as the Biden Administration, she believes "student loan forgiveness will be something that is part of her platform." Given the ongoing legal challenges surrounding student loan forgiveness, Finetti anticipates Harris may "moderate the plans somewhat" to navigate these complexities. In contrast, if a Trump-JD Vance ticket were to win the election, the outlook for borrowers could change dramatically. Finetti notes that Trump "is not for student loan forgiveness" and plans to eliminate the Department of Education.  For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Wealth!
