Princeton University has named its first black valedictorian in the school’s 274-year history.

Nicholas Johnson was an operation and financial engineering concentrator,  according to Princeton‘s news release. Princeton describes the ORFE program as providing “strong technical grounding in statistics, stochastics, and optimization.” As if that doesn’t sound impressive enough, in addition to his major, he also pursued certificates in statistics and machine learning, applied and computational mathematics, and applications of computing.

Johnson’s senior thesis involved a community-based preventative health intervention in reducing obesity in Canada using high-performance algorithms.

After graduation, he will spend the summer as an intern for the D.E. Shaw Group and begin his Ph.D. studies at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the Fall. Previous internships for Johnson include developing and implementing a novel optimization technique at Oxford University.

Johnson’s favorite memories at Princeton are those “of time spent with close friends and classmates engaging in stimulating discussions — often late at night — about our beliefs, the cultures and environments in which we were raised, the state of the world, and how we plan on contributing positively to it in our own unique way.”

When he has free time, Johnson likes to play basketball, workout, and play chess. He is heavily involved with Princeton’s chapter of the Tau Beta Pi, the only engineering honor society and the second oldest honor society in the United States.

Princeton will hold a virtual commencement ceremony on May 31, 2020, and an in-person ceremony will be held sometime in May of 2021. Johnson, and salutatorian Grace Sommers, will participate in the virtual commencement ceremony.

Nicki clapped back, sarcastically offering Dez $10 million in cash if he would fight her husband. That’s when Dez snapped. He wasn’t backing down. In a bold tweet, Dez responded: “Go get that 10 million in cash.. I’ll stomp that nigga out right in front of you.. and it’s ROC for life bitch.” Yes, Dez Bryant, unprovoked, said he would physically fight Nicki Minaj’s husband, in front of her, and invoked Roc Nation loyalty while doing it. Twitter exploded. And the hits kept coming. Nicki followed up with a wave of explosive tweets alleging all kinds of things about Roc Nation executives, political betrayals, and even Dez’s own family background. She resurfaced allegations about Dez’s upbringing that had already gone viral, saying he was projecting his pain. “You mad at your daddy,” she wrote, mocking his trauma and throwing more fire on an already out-of-control blaze. What began as NFL venting turned into one of the most volatile and personal feuds of 2025. Dez Bryant vs. Nicki Minaj has now included: domestic allegations, sex offender references, Roc Nation exposes, a $10 million fight challenge, and deep-cut trauma going public.
