Big dreams and desires were part of Keisha Reynolds’ makeup as a young girl in the Detroit area.
“I had considered schools in Michigan and Ohio, but a visit with my mother to the Ferris campus was very significant for both of us,” Reynolds said. “I had learned about the university in a college fair, so we came to Big Rapids.

Keisha has long understood and applied her high-energy approach to all things academic and social, which extended to her learning, working and other efforts on the Ferris campus.
“I did almost everything I could, in terms of organizational involvement, which included helping the Student Government Association establish ‘The Big Event,’ along with promoting a readership campaign and serving as a social media specialist,” Reynolds
The number of video and cable television operators in Michigan remained unchanged at 31 in 2023, and total subscriptions for these fell, continuing a long-term pattern, the Michigan Public Service Commission’s annual Status of Competition for Video Services in Michigan found.
There were 1,287,510 video/cable television customers reported for Michigan in 2023, a decline of 189,692 from the previous year.

The MPSC’s video/cable report is based on r
