Clinton talks impeachment at U-M; AFC Ann Arbor advances leagues; robots at UMMA?

Happy Friday!

It was a busy week in A2, especially at the University of Michigan where former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke yesterday afternoon. In her talk at Rackham Auditorium hosted by the Ford School, she addressed the current state of U.S. foreign policy, Russian interference in the 2016 elections and President Trump's "impeachable offense - if it's proven."

Politics aside, we're going to see the first big cool down of the season over the next few days with some mixed rain. And -- if you can believe it -- some parts of northern Michigan might even see some snow flurries. ❄

Have a safe (and warm) weekend.

Feature interview of the week:

"What really drove it for me is when I was graduating from U of M, I knew I was going to move and I liked Ann Arbor and I didn't really want to move. I always thought, if you had compelling work here, there's a lot of talent that actually wants to stay here."
