Kelsey Mitchell is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Educational Leadership online through Liberty University while simultaneously playing at an MVP caliber for the Indiana Fever. During the 2026 WNBA season, the 30VyearVold guard has managed to maintain a staggering career high average of 24 points per game while tackling rigorous doctoral coursework.

Mitchell has gone viral across sports media platforms for her insane work ethic. Her teammates, including Caitlin Clark, frequently point out her unique pre- and post-game routines. Mitchell is often spotted on her laptop typing out academic papers in the locker room just 90 minutes before tip-off.

After dropping massive scoring nights, such as scoring 35+ points against the Las Vegas Aces, she immediately opens her laptop to submit discussion posts. Mitchell joked about having to message a professor for a late extension during a road trip, having to explain that she was a professional basketball player.

As ma*****na laws continue to change across the U.S., more employers are rethinking workplace drug testing policies.

A 2024 survey of nearly 1,000 employers found that 48% no longer test for cannabis in at least some positions. Among companies that still screen for ma*****na, nearly one in four said they're considering changing their policies, while 44% reported that cannabis testing has made it harder to hire qualified workers.

Major employers including Amazon, Citigroup, Home Depot, and AutoNation have already dropped ma*****na testing for many non-safety-sensitive roles. Supporters of the shift argue that standard drug tests can detect cannabis use days or even weeks after consumption, but don't reliably measure whether someone is impaired while on the job.

The longtime couple is partnering with Michelin-starred chef Michael Mina and The Ritz-Carlton to open three new dining concepts in Charlotte, North Carolina: Sweet July Café, The Eighth Rule, and Bourbon Steak. The restaurants are part of the hotel’s multimillion-dollar transformation and reflect the Currys’ passion for hospitality, community, and bringing people together.
