Cottey College, a women’s college in Nevada, Mo., accepted six students from Ethiopia this year, and officials were disappointed when two of them were denied visas. They were puzzled by the reason: The students, the State Department said, did not have strong enough ties to their home country and might not return.
'The visa denials to the Ethiopian students at Cottey College were especially frustrating to college officials because the school had made a strong commitment to recruiting international students and was offering generous scholarships. “We had invested in getting them here, and they were so excited about the opportunity,” Ms. Corrigan said. “And now they can’t come.”

Yacob Girma is a general manager of Lyft Las Vegas #EthiopiansInNevada
“Last year was our best year yet,” said Yacob Girma, general manager of Lyft Las Vegas. “We’ve grown tremendously and have had a ton of impact (on the city). We’re growing rapidly. Week-over-week, month-over-month.”
Girma said that not driving full time leaves more time for drivers to spend with family, take vacations and work other jobs.
“We’ve focused on (hiring veteran drivers) and that number has gone up year-over-year,” Girma said. “We do target hiring veterans because we think it’s important and it’s something we care about because there are a lot of veterans here.”
