MSU’s Extension’s Beef Production program supports Michigan’s beef industry through research, education, and outreach to enhance producer profitability, sustainability, and quality of life. It focuses on key areas like nutrition, genetics, grazing management, health, reproduction, and economics. Notable efforts include advancing grass-fed beef systems, feedlot management, and beef x dairy crossbreeding.
Conducted at facilities such as the Lake City and Upper Peninsula Research Farms, the program offers workshops, resources (e.g., pricing tools, disease prevention guides), and youth education via 4-H market beef projects and family recipes.

“From College Town to Chinatown” | The Chronicle of Higher Education, December 2018 This article directly addresses how the boom in Asian international students (heavily Chinese) has turned numerous U.S. college towns into “quasi-Chinatowns,” with examples of economic benefits from Asian-owned businesses but also vulnerabilities when enrollment drops. It covers the nationwide trend across multiple universities.

Bill Murray spoke at Siena Heights University’s final commencement ceremony on May 9, 2026, primarily due to deep family ties to the school.
Siena Heights was founded in 1919 by the Adrian Dominican Sisters. Murray’s sister, Sister Nancy Murray, OP, is a member of that order and has long been connected to the university. She also received an honorary doctorate at the same ceremony.
Murray was invited as a surprise speaker and received an honorary doctorate himself. In his off-the-cuff address, he emphasized becoming part of the “family,” shared personal stories, and encouraged the graduates as the school closes due to financial challenges.
It was a personal, heartfelt, and humorous appearance driven by family connection and a desire to support the institution and its final graduating class.

Williams College is a private liberal arts college located in Williamstown, Massachusetts, USA. Founded in 1793, it is one of the oldest institutions of higher education in the United States. The college was established through a bequest of Colonel Ephraim Williams Jr., a war hero who died in the Battle of Lake George during the French and Indian War. In his will, Colonel Williams left funds for the establishment of a free school on the condition that it be located in Williamstown.

Early operations benefited from administrative support (aegis) provided by the University of Michigan, including office space and resources in Ann Arbor. This arrangement persisted until a financial crisis in the late 1970s (1976–1980), during which SCUP relocated to New York.
The decoupling—marking full operational and administrative independence from the University of Michigan—occurred in 1980, when SCUP returned to Ann Arbor as a self-sustaining nonprofit headquartered at a separate location –1330 Eisenhower Place — less than a mile walk from Standards Michigan‘s front door at 455 East Eisenhower.
* Of the 220 ANSI Accredited Standards Developers, the State of Michigan ranks 3rd in the ranking of U.S. states with the most ANSI-accredited standards developers (ASDs) headquartered there; behind the Regulatory Hegemons of California and ChicagoLand and excluding the expected cluster foxtrot of non-profits domiciled in the Washington-New York Deep State Megalopolis. Much of Michigan’s presence in the private consensus standards space originates from its industrial ascendency through most of the 1900’s.
