IRONWOOD - Gogebic Community College (GCC) and Northern Michigan University (NMU) have finalized new articulation agreements in Environmental Science/Natural Resources and Criminal Justice expanding affordable and accessible bachelor’s degree pathways for students in the western Upper Peninsula.  The Environmental Science/Natural Resources agreement follows recent updates to GCC’s Natural Resources curriculum and allows students to complete their associate degree at GCC before transferring seamlessly into NMU’s Environmental Science program. The partnership is designed to maximize the strengths of both institutions while providing students with a clear academic roadmap according to GCC.  A second articulation agreement in Criminal Justice provides GCC students with another pathway to earn a bachelor’s degree while addressing critical workforce needs in law enforcement and related fields. NMU’s Criminal Justice program is also offered through its Global Campus, giving working and non-traditional students additional flexibility to complete their degree.  For more information we have a link on our website and Facebook page.   https://www.gogebic.edu/academics/transfer_out.html

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin man accused of killing his parents and stealing their money to fund his plan to assassinate President Donald Trump has pleaded guilty to homicide. Eighteen-year-old Nikita Casap pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree intentional homicide Thursday in Waukesha County. Prosecutors dropped multiple other charges, including two counts of hiding a corpse and theft.  Prosecutors say Casap wanted to spur governmental collapse by killing Trump and possibly Vice President JD Vance.
