• Hate shoveling snow? MSU students will do it for you (wlns.com) — Okemos homeowners can now hire Michigan State University students to shovel their driveways through the Snow Scholars app, with routes specifically available for those who have a car to reach Okemos. The student-run service lets shovelers choose flexible routes and shifts while giving local residents an easy way to skip winter snow removal and support MSU students financially.
