Episode Synopsis
Good afternoon, Wolverines! It's Monday, September 1st, and here's what's happening around the University of Michigan campus.
Currently, it's sunny and 69 degrees in Ann Arbor. Temperatures are expected to rise to a high of 79 degrees by late afternoon, with mostly sunny skies throughout the day. So, it's a perfect day to enjoy the outdoors!
The University of Michigan has expanded its Go Blue Guarantee, now offering free tuition to in-state students from families with annual incomes up to $125,000. This expansion will benefit nearly 2,200 additional undergraduate students across the Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Flint campuses starting this fall. Since its inception in 2018, the Go Blue Guarantee has provided tuition-free education to over 8,000 students, and this latest move reaffirms the university's commitment to affordability and equal opportunity.
In sustainability efforts, the Ann Arbor campus has achieved two of its 2025 Sustainability Goals ahead of schedule. The university has reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 25% compared to 2006 levels and decreased chemical usage on campus landscapes by 40% since 2019. These accomplishments mark significant progress toward the university's commitment to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.
As the fall semester kicks off, several events are lined up to welcome students and promote inclusivity. On August 22nd, the Housing Diversity and Inclusion Resource Fair will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. at 603 E. Madison. This event offers a chance to meet community Diversity Peer Educators, explore multicultural resources, and enjoy some ice cream and snacks.
Additionally, the Spectrum Center is hosting "Pride Outside" on August 31st from 2 to 4:30 p.m. at Ingalls Mall. This annual event celebrates the beginning of the fall semester with lawn games, a drag show, shaved ice, t-shirt giveaways, and resource tables.
The Michigan Wolverines football team opened their season with a 34-17 victory over New Mexico. Freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood made his debut, completing 21 of 31 passes for 251 yards, setting a new record for a freshman quarterback in their debut. Running back Justice Haynes also shined, recording 16 carries for 159 yards and three touchdowns, setting a program high for running backs making their Michigan debut.
Downtown Ann Arbor is preparing for the influx of students moving into their residences. Local commuters are advised to be patient and cautious, as there will be increased pedestrian traffic and potential changes to usual traffic and parking patterns during this period.
That's all for today's update. Stay safe, stay informed, and as always, Go Blue!
