Clara Brizendine, an environmental science major, walks through the cool air around campus every Monday and Tuesday to look for dead birds that have crashed into campus buildings.

Through a statement shared on Truth Social, a Trump-owned social media platform, he shared plans for McMahon to spearhead efforts to send education back to the states.
