Preparing the next generation of health care professionals means providing opportunities to understand not only patient care, but also the systems that influence it. Experiences like these help students develop a broader understanding of the profession while strengthening the skills needed to lead, collaborate and create positive change throughout their careers. Learning that goes far beyond the classroom. https://t.co/mF45In43Lj

Preparing students to address complex global challenges requires more than classroom instruction—it takes experience, collaboration & applied learning. 💛💙 The Michigan Community Climate Action Fellowship highlights the value of empowering students to tackle real-world problems while building the skills needed to lead in an evolving workforce. https://t.co/py6qKOgeKn

In this next installment of our Town & Gown Summer Social Series, we feature Rych Wick Candles, 522 S. Saginaw Street.

At Rych Wicks Candles, creativity starts with a scent. Flint’s first luxury candle bar offers a laid-back, upscale space where you can blend your own custom candle or choose from more than 60 fragrances for wax melts. Whether it’s a date night, a night out with friends or a little time to reset, the experience is designed to be equal parts relaxing and hands-on. Founded by three friends turned sisters, Rych Wicks was inspired by a simple idea: bring something vibrant, creative and therapeutic to downtown Flint. Today, it’s a space where connection and self-care come together—one custom pour at a time. Walk in, take a breath and leave with something that’s entirely your own.

Where campus meets community. Our Town & Gown Summer Social Series spotlights the local businesses that help define downtown Flint’s energy, and the places our students, faculty and neighbors call their own. Together, they create a connected experience that extends well beyond the classroom, shaping how we live, gather and engage in the city every day.

Today, we kick things off with a downtown destination, the Flint Farmers’ Market. A year-round public market established in 1905, it features 50+ vendors, including several produce purveyors, a meat market, a variety of poultry, breads, baked goods, cheeses, wine, an art gallery, a cafe, Middle Eastern and Mexican groceries, and many unique gifts—plus a diverse lineup of food vendors serving everything from quick bites to full meals. From May through October, another 25 vendors offer fresh produce, flowers, and arts & crafts.

Officer Friendly Day was back for year five on May 9, and the impact keeps getting bigger. What started in Flint is now drawing attention across the country as a model for strengthening relationships between law enforcement and the autism community. Through interactive experiences, thoughtful programming and plenty of moments of joy, families and officers connected in ways that go beyond the badge. It was a day built on trust, understanding and shared experience.
