Good morning, Logan.

A 61-year-old transient man with a lengthy record was arrested on Thursday for allegedly stealing a $21,000 motorized wheelchair from USU after business hours—law enforcement later found drugs on him and he is held without bail pending arraignment.

Former USU student Joshua Peter Jager, 20, admitted to mixing chemicals in his dorm room that caused two evacuations at Mountain View Tower and pleaded guilty to recklessly causing a catastrophe—a class A misdemeanor; he is scheduled to be sentenced on June 9 and may face up to one year in jail.

A Providence man, 37-year-old Preston Leigh Gauruder, pleaded guilty in Logan for attempted forcible sexual abuse and related charges from November 30, 2021, and he accepted a plea deal that holds the felony charge in abeyance pending his probation—he is set to be sentenced on July 7 and could face up to one year in jail.

Utah State University held its 138th graduation ceremony on April 30 where graduates officially received their degrees and speaker Willy Lensch urged them to help others—college convocations and hooding ceremonies began May 1 and finish today with awards for 4,651 bachelor's, 1,287 master's and 162 doctorate degrees.

A new study by the Utah State University Utah Women & Leadership Project found that Utah women are joining the workforce more, facing tougher challenges with student debt and financial literacy, and planning families later than before.

The report shows that these shifts lead to long-term financial gaps—calling for more education on finances and pay equity.

USU UWLP released a report showing that Utah women are having children later, are more likely to be single, and are working more, which changes their money needs.

The report points out a gap in money skills, higher student debt, and retirement risks — and it urges earlier money talks to help close these gaps.
