The University of Olivet held its annual Convocation (the action of calling people together for a large formal assembly) on Aug. 21 to welcome in the new school year. First-year student Shaelyn S. Lampinen, who snapped this photo said, "To me this photo encompassed Convocation because it was the community coming together to celebrate the professors and school and for the school and professors to celebrate the students."

A heads up!

Today is the day! The annual voluntary statewide tornado drill being held on Wednesday, March 20th at 1:00 pm. We hope the tornado drill begins or continues a broader conversation about emergency preparedness regarding:

🔹Do you have a plan?
🔹Where will you go?
🔹What will you do?
🔹Do you know the alerts, warnings, and notification systems in your area?
🔹How will you communicate?

Visit Eaton County Emergency Management and Eaton County 911 for more info.
