Here's your local news at a glance for Saturday, the 26th of July.
Good morning, Lansing.
🎓 Education
MSU has accelerated layoffs as it faces rising health care costs, inflation — and less federal funding ahead of fall classes.
University officials said they are still figuring out the number of positions to be cut as they work to reduce the general fund by 9% over the next two years.
🌲 Environment
Fletcher-Robson Nature Area is a 25-acre park at 14436 Robson Road in Bath Township that offers over a mile of marked trails through thick, hilly woods.
The park opened in 2000 after being donated by the Robson family and features educational placards, benches, picnic tables, bird houses, and a butterfly garden with leashed dogs welcome.
🏈 Sports
Nick Marsh, a Michigan State wide receiver, chose to stay with the Spartans despite offers from other schools because he wanted to build a strong foundation with his teammates and coach — he improved his training and diet last year with a focus on getting ready for tougher defenses. He said all money is not good money — and he remains committed to growing his skills as a leader on the field.
