• More than a gap: How OU commuters spend time between classes (oaklandpostonline.com) — Oakland University commuters in the Rochester area are turning long breaks between classes into time for studying, campus jobs, clubs, and quick trips to nearby spots like the Village of Rochester Hills, Lula's Cafe, and Naba Cafe. The story highlights how these gaps help students stay on campus, build friendships, and feel more connected without driving back home between lectures.
   

• Organic farm brings fresh food and hands-on learning to campus (oaklandpostonline.com) — Students at Oakland University in the Rochester area can buy organic, student-grown produce and baked goods every Wednesday near Elliott Tower, thanks to a little-known campus farm on East Campus.
