(Sault Ste. Marie, MI) – Chi Omega Chapter 526, a Nursing Honor Society partnership between LSSU in Sault, MI and Sault College in Sault, ON, is donating Blessing Care Bags to the clients of the Chippewa-Luce-Mackinac Community Action Agency (CLMCAA) to support individuals facing housing challenges in our region. 

Chi Omega’s donation consisted of Blessing Care Bags that are filled with personal items designed to provide warmth, comfort, and hygiene essentials during challenging times. Each Blessing Care Bag contains a variety of items aimed at meeting basic needs, including gloves, hats, and hand warmers to help protect against the cold. Socks and blankets are included for extra warmth, while a rain jacket ensures recipients stay dry during inclement weather. Hygiene essentials such as hand sanitizer, soap, deodorant, and wipes promote cleanliness and personal care. The bags also contain a comb, shaver, toothbrush, and toothpaste, providing everyday necessities that many may lack.

Dr. Sandi King, Assistant Professor at LSSU, Chi Omega’s Counselor and Service Chair, emphasizes the deeper significance of the Blessing Care Bags: “By donating backpacks filled with personal care items to those in need, which is more than just an act of kindness, we not only offer individuals having hardships with housing a chance to carry their dignity; but it’s a reminder that a small gesture can restore hope and remind someone they’re not invisible and they matter.”

As Joe Nolan, Executive Director of CLMCAA, shares, “We are very grateful to the Chi Omega Sigma Nursing Organization and LSSU for their generosity and commitment to serving our community. These Blessing Bags will provide comfort, dignity, and tangible support to those who need it most. Partnerships like this reflect the power of community and compassion working hand in hand.”

CLMCAA’s mission is aligned with this community-centered effort: “Chippewa-Luce-Mackinac Community Action Agency is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to attacking poverty by eliminating barriers, increasing opportunities, and providing support services for changing lives and improving self-sufficiency.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sault Ste. Marie, MI – March 19, 2025 – Lake Superior State University’s iconic tradition, the 54th Annual Snowman Burning, originally scheduled for Thursday, March 20th, has been postponed to Thursday, March 27th, from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM on the North Lawn beyond the Cisler Patio, due to high winds in the forecast.

This delay is a testament to the relentless grip of winter this year! With 183.7 inches of snowfall so far, and now strong seasonal winds, it seems winter is determined to leave its mark—but Lake State is equally determined to burn away all things winter and welcome spring in fiery style!

This year’s theme, From Flakes to Flames, captures both the harshness of the season and the community’s readiness for renewal. LSSU President Dr. David Travis, reflecting on the record snow, shared, “When I first arrived at LSSU, I was unsure about the Burning of the Snowman tradition, but now, after spending my first winter here, one with record snow, I’m wholeheartedly embracing it!”

The event will feature remarks from Dr. Jamie Zamjahn, Interim Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Success, performances by Art Club Writing Contest winners, and an announcement by Kiley Hoff, Inter-Greek Council (IGC) President. The evening culminates with the symbolic burning of the snowman, a tradition started in 1971 by the Unicorn Hunters, a student group that believed the ritual would ward off lingering winter storms. With this winter’s persistence, we’re counting on it more than ever.

LSSU Fire Science students, alongside the Sault Ste. Marie Fire Department will ensure a safe and educational experience during the burn. Afterward, attendees are invited to continue the celebration with live music by the Seth Brown Duo and complimentary food in the Galley.

Updated Event Details: 54th Annual Snowman Burning
New Date & Time: Thursday, March 27, 2025 | 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM
Location: North Lawn, beyond the Cisler Patio

Don’t miss this fiery farewell to winter—a week later, but with even more anticipation to banish the flakes with flames!

(Sault Ste. Marie, MI) – The Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) www.acbsp.org Baccalaureate/Graduate Degree Board of Commissioners has reaffirmed accreditation of the Lukenda School of Business programs at Lake Superior State University in Sault Ste. Marie, MI.

With more than 30 years of promoting excellence in global business program accreditation, ACBSP was the first organization offering specialized business accreditation for all degree levels, from associate to baccalaureate to doctoral degree programs. ACBSP accreditation certifies that the teaching and learning processes within the business degrees and programs offered through Lake Superior State University meet the rigorous educational standards established by ACBSP. 

The Lukenda School of Business programs at Lake Superior State University were first accredited by ACBSP in 2014. The institution is required to go through the reaffirmation process every 10 years to maintain ACBSP accreditation. Bachelor’s programs receiving reaffirmation include Accounting, Finance and Economics, and the business administration programs that focus on Entrepreneurship, International Business, Management, and Marketing. Following this process, ACBSP also awarded initial accreditation to Lake Superior State University’s Cannabis Business and general Business Administration bachelor degree programs.  

“We are proud to receive reaffirmation of accreditation from ACBSP and initial accreditation of two new programs in recognition of continued excellence and dedication within our business programs,” said Mindy McCready, Interim Dean of the College of Business, Engineering, Computer Science and Mathematics at Lake Superior State University. “This reaffirmation reflects our ongoing commitment to providing a rigorous, high-quality education that equips our students with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in today’s dynamic business environment.”

(Sault Ste. Marie, MI)  – A new year brings the promise of fresh beginnings, but it is also the perfect moment to reflect on the words and phrases that may have worn out their welcome. Lake Superior State University (LSSU) proudly reveals the 2025 edition of its Banished Words List, a quirky tradition that dates back to 1976, when former LSSU Public Relations Director Bill Rabe and his colleagues delighted word enthusiasts with the first “List of Words Banished from the Queen’s English for Mis-Use, Over-Use and General Uselessness”.

Each year, this lighthearted list shines a spotlight on words and terms that are overused, misused, or simply unnecessary. It offers a moment to laugh, pause, and consider how we can be more mindful of the language we use every day.

“Words matter! Old habits can be hard to break and we’re happy to serve as a resource for the court of public opinion on what should continue to be part of the English language and what needs to be put to rest,” says Lake Superior State President, Dr. David Travis.  

LSSU received submissions from across the globe this year, including entries from Canada, Australia, Denmark, Germany, India, South Africa, and the United States. The fact that some of the same banished word suggestions came from different parts of the world underscores the universal struggle of dealing with challenging words and phrases. 

Here are the 2025 words and phrases selected for banishment, along with the reasons they made the list:

• Cringe

While “cringe” once packed a punch, it has now overstayed its welcome. Overuse has dulled its impact, and ironically, using it might now cause the very reaction it describes.  “Saying someone ‘caused you to cringe’ or stating that ‘you cringed at something’ is a pretty easy and proper way to use the word,” writes Ash from Newton, Alabama.  “Hearing someone say ‘someone is so cringe’ makes me cringe!”

• Game Changer

How many times can a game change before it is no longer recognizable? This phrase, often used to describe anything remotely innovative, is as tired as a well-worn cliché. “Nothing is a game changer if everything is a game changer,” writes Patrick of Washington, DC.

• Era

Unless you are Taylor Swift, it might be time to leave “era” behind. The term’s overuse has made every fleeting moment feel like it demands a historical marker. Leah of Holland, Michigan submits, “Thanks to the name of Taylor Swift’s tour, now there is an ‘era’ for everyone and everything!  ‘He’s in his fatherhood era’, ‘She’s in her pottery-making era,’ etc., etc..  It’s overused and tiring.”

• Dropped

Once edgy and cool, “dropped” has become more of a letdown. Whether it is an album, a trend, or a product, this term has fallen flat.  “Books, music, and all kinds of unnecessary things are currently being ‘dropped’ rather than introduced, released, or offered for sale.  Banished for overuse, misuse, abuse, and hurting my head when all that “dropping” stuff lands on me!,” laments Susan of Littleton, CO.

• IYKYK (If You Know, You Know)

Internet slang and texting abbreviations are often fan-favorites of Banished Word submitters each year.  Cryptic and exclusionary, this phrase offers little clarity or substance. If you know, you might agree it is time to let this one go.  Amy from Redford, MI feels this phrase should go for being both irritating and nonsensical.

• Sorry Not Sorry

A half-hearted apology masquerading as bold honesty, this phrase feels as disingenuous as it sounds. Banished Word enthusiasts recommend  just saying what you mean or in at least one case showing a little kindness.  Sabrina from Wrenshall, MN writes, “It is really tiring to hear, and it is giving people another reason to be jerks to one another.”

• Skibidi

This viral word may have resonated with a younger crowd, but for many it is just noise. Agatha from Denmark explains, “Nobody cares about a Skibidi toilet, Skibidi fizz, or Skibidi Ohio fanum tax. At this point, nobody even knows what it means and it just annoys people.”

• 100%

Is it possible to be over-enthusiastic about retiring the phrase “100%”? Absolutely! Its overuse has left no room for nuance or doubt.  A phrase predominantly nominated for its overuse, some felt it was simply not applicable.  “Since when should a percentage be used to describe your agreement in a conversation?” asked Stephen from Sudbury, Ontario.  

• Utilize

A classic offender, “utilize” proves that longer is not always better. Why complicate things when “use” works just fine?  Everett from Cumby, Texas encourages readers to “Write like you talk,” and added, “Lord, I hope you don’t talk like that.”

• Period

Yes, we understand your point—no need to verbally punctuate it. Overuse has turned this into a period we are ready to end.  Theresa from Detroit, MI, recommends that we banish this word by putting it in a bottle and sending it out to sea.  

As LSSU celebrates the 49th year of this playful tradition, the whimsical Banished Words List continues to highlight the dynamic nature of communication and how words and phrases strongly affect our everyday life.
