• U of M Fulbright Award recipients prepare for their next adventure in learning (hometownsource.com) — A recent University of Minnesota honors graduate from Wauwatosa, Bella Minahan, has earned a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship in Argentina, building on her work with Spanish conversation groups and citizenship tutoring. The story also highlights seven other Minnesota graduates heading abroad for research and teaching, showcasing how local students are stepping onto a global stage. 
• Apartments could replace historic Milwaukee church (finance-commerce.com) — A Bay View congregation is weighing whether to replace Unity Lutheran Church in Milwaukee with a 55-unit apartment building that still includes worship and ministry space. For Wauwatosa readers, the proposal echoes past changes at St. Bernard Congregation in town, as shrinking memberships push more area churches to consider redevelopment and new uses for historic properties.
