Central Michigan University Residence Life budget, managed by Auxiliary Services, totals to over $64 million in 2024-25. University officials explain how prices for room and board are decided and what projects Res Life funds.

"(We're) looking at how do we keep CMU an affordable and accessible place for our students to get their college education and making sure that that you know that we're a place that students can get a really high quality on campus experience for a reasonable price," said Erica Johnson, interim assistance vice president of Student Affairs, a division under which Res Life operates.

With the season nearing its end, Central Michigan University baseball and the Eastern Michigan University Eagles clashed in a weekend series. Both offenses were on display, and all three games were high scoring affairs. When the dust settled, the Chippewas came away with two much-needed wins.⁠

Central Michigan University celebrated over 2,400 graduating students this weekend during its commencement ceremonies at McGuirk Arena. It took five celebrations over two days to confer the degrees of bachelor's, master's, doctor and medical doctor on the class of 2025.

The arena for each session was filled with students dressed in maroon and gold, beaming smiles and plenty of emotion. Families and friends of crowded the stands, cheering on the students as they entered and ultimately crossed the stage.

“Don't let this be only a degree, let it be a launch,” Shauna Kingma, the student speaker for the graduate ceremony Friday, told the more than 1,000 students in attendance. “Keep learning, keep questioning, keep showing up for others and for yourself. Believe in yourself."

For Central Michigan University students, this year has been full of changes. The United States welcomed a new administration with President Donald Trump, who has already put forward several executive orders impacting higher education. CMU also had new faces in its administration: from president to provost to deans. In this editorial, Central Michigan Life shares our advice about how to embrace change.

Despite the roaring crowds and thrilling game-day moments, Central Michigan University’s athletic program faces a financial reality that goes beyond the scoreboard. ⁠
⁠
With a $27.2 million budget covering expenditures for the 2024-25 fiscal year, CMU’s athletics department remains dependent on university subsidies to stay competitive. ⁠
⁠
While ticket sales, fundraising and game guarantees generate $7 million in revenue, they fall far short of covering expenses — leaving the university to provide over $20 million in financial support, according to the Operating Budget.⁠
⁠
“(The budget) is a combination of university subsidies and external revenue sources. Overall, our subsidy is approximately 4 % of the university’s budget, as it has been for a long time,” Amy Folan, the director of Athletics, said. “Like everyone at Central Michigan, we are trying to do more with less, but we focus on providing a premier student-athlete experience, exceptional fan experience and being leaders in the MAC."⁠

When graduating Editor-in-Chief Lauren Rice came to Central Michigan University, she writes, it was admittedly with all kinds of unrealistic expectations about the community she would find. It wasn’t until about three semesters into working for Central Michigan Life that she looked up and realized every single one of them had been met and exceeded.
