    Good afternoon, Wolverines! It's Monday, August 4th, and here's what's happening at the University of Michigan. President Santa Ono has announced his departure from the University of Michigan to assume the presidency at the University of Florida.

Additionally, Arthur Lupia has been named the vice president for research and innovation, with his term beginning August 1st.

This program aims to enhance late-night safety and transportation access for students. U-M has introduced a flight corridor for testing drones and electric aircraft, linking Ann Arbor's autonomy research facilities to Detroit's innovation district. This 40-mile research skyway is part of the new public-private partnership, M-Air, focusing on advanced air mobility. The university is seeking input from the community on the search for the next university president. Feedback is encouraged by August 15th to help shape the future leadership of U-M.

    Good afternoon, Wolverines! It's Monday, July 28, 2025, and here's what's happening around the University of Michigan campus. Currently, it's mostly sunny in Ann Arbor with a temperature of 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Expect foggy conditions this morning, clearing up by the afternoon with highs reaching around 90 degrees. There's a chance of thunderstorms later today, so keep an umbrella handy. In a significant move to enhance affordability, the University of Michigan has expanded its Go Blue Guarantee. Starting this fall, in-state undergraduate students from families with annual incomes up to $125,000 will qualify for free tuition across the Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Flint campuses. This expansion is expected to benefit nearly 2,200 additional students, reinforcing the university's commitment to accessible education. On the construction front, a new 19-story student housing development named Chapter Ann Arbor is set to rise in the South University District, just a block from central campus. The building will feature 183 units with a total of 625 beds, offering a mix of studio to five-bedroom apartments. Amenities will include a fitness center, study lounges, and a rooftop patio. Construction is slated to begin in August, with completion aimed for the 2027-28 academic year. In administrative news, Thomas J. Wang has been appointed as the new dean of the Medical School, effective September 15. Wang is a nationally recognized physician-scientist and academic leader. Additionally, Arthur Lupia will assume the role of vice president for research and innovation starting August 1. Lupia brings a wealth of experience, including roles in two U.S. presidential administrations. The Ann Arbor campus has met two of its 2025 Sustainability Goals ahead of schedule. As of 2022, the university successfully reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 25% compared to 2006 levels and has applied 40% fewer chemicals to campus landscapes since 2019. These accomplishments mark significant progress toward the university's commitment to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. Congratulations to the Michigan Wolverines softball team for clinching the Big Ten tournament championship. Under the leadership of head coach Bonnie Tholl, the team finished the season with a 39–21 record and advanced to the NCAA Austin Regional. Their hard work and dedication have made the university proud. Looking ahead, the university is introducing an Early Decision program for the fall 2026 application cycle. This binding option allows qualified first-year applicants to secure their place at U-M earlier than ever before, with decisions released in December. This initiative aims to provide prospective students with more certainty in their college planning. That's all for today's update. Stay safe, stay informed, and as always, Go Blue!
