9/18/17 – Iowa Pubic Radio ran an article about author Jon Kerstetter who is a 2011 graduate of AU's MFA program. Kerstetter has experienced many "crossings" in his life—from a civilian doctor to a medical officer in the Army National Guard, and then, after a career-ending stroke, from a medical provider to a recovering patient. The book, titled "Crossings: A Doctor-Soldier's Story," details his life's transformations.

8/03/17 – Dr. Elad Granot, dean of the Dauch College of Business and Economics, was featured on a WEWS-TV 5 Cleveland news segment with Jonathan Walsh. Dr. Granot spoke about Ohio's tax-free weekend as a part of the On Your Side investigation that looked into whether the tax holiday really saves people money.

Granot called the tax-free weekend a political stunt.

"The data shows that for the state it's pretty much a wash," Granot said. "They're not losing any revenue because most of the consumers will walk into stores and buy stuff that's covered by the tax break but then buy a lot more things that are not."
