📰 News we're reading
• Suspect in custody in Kent after Stow PD sends out alert to residents (kentucky.com) — A suspect who sparked an early-morning police alert near the Stow–Kent border was arrested in Kent on Sept. 12 by the Metro SWAT team. Stow police say the situation began as a domestic incident in Kent and warned he might be armed, but they now report the suspect is in custody and there is no ongoing threat to the community. 
• Bots that cannot be caught: How robots are becoming more capable of human-like tasks (kentstater.com) — Kent State's robotics program is giving local students hands-on experience with increasingly human-like machines, from combat bots to an AI-powered robotic dog used in class. Professors describe testing robots around Kent City and predict that within a decade, humanoid robots could match human intelligence and become everyday companions and coworkers.
• New legal visa rules raise concerns for international students in Ohio (wheninyourstate.com) — New federal rules will soon limit international student visas to fixed time periods, a change Ohio colleges say could hurt enrollment and finances. Kent State's global education leader previously warned that shifting policies have already damaged international students' confidence, raising concerns for Kent's campus community and the local economy that benefits from their spending and presence.
