Good morning, Ypsilanti.

University of Michigan President Santa Ono said he will resign to take the same job at the University of Florida pending board approval, with his new role beginning later this summer.

He is scheduled to visit Gainesville on May 6 and said he reached his decision after building deep bonds with the community—reflecting his careful, long-standing record in academic leadership.

University of Michigan gymnast and Olympic medalist Frederick Richard set a new Guinness world record on Friday by completing 1,111 backflips in 24 hours at Premier Gymnastics in Stoughton—he surpassed the previous record of 1,001 flips and raised over $37,000 to send gymnastics equipment to underprivileged kids in Africa.
