Howdy,

I could tell you “Happy Tuesday,” and that I hope you have a great day or what have you. Or I could just tell you that we have some good stories today that, if I were you, I probably wouldn’t want to miss out on.

Don’t get me wrong, I do hope you have a great day because let’s be real, you deserve one. So why don’t you sit back, relax and read some news.

Yours truly,

Amelia Roessler | Managing Editor | [email protected]

The University of Minnesota is a national leader for start-up creations and has been consistently ranked in the top four universities in the country the past four years.

The University launched 25 new startup companies in the last year in various different fields, from biotech to food and agriculture. With the help of the University’s Venture Center, startup creators and researchers can learn how to get funding for their ideas, assess the commercial potential for their ideas, and get advice on how to establish their new company, according to the Venture Center’s webpage.

The Venture Center works closely with startup founders to determine the best path forward for their business based on the company idea or available technology.

By Katrina Bailey | City Council Member Emily Koski (Ward 11) announced Monday morning that she is dropping out of the race for Minneapolis mayor.

Koski said in a press release that her decision comes after “deep reflection on the challenges of running an authentic, community-focused campaign” within the city’s current political climate.

Opinion

By Matthew Jegers | Being from suburban-rural Minnesota, my options for food were fairly limited.

Despite having a fair amount of restaurants and stores in a local urban area, I often found myself frequenting the same restaurants or buying ingredients for the same meals with my family. While this setup makes for good nostalgia, I truly did not know what I was missing.
