Shown below is one of many large displays on campus used for things like campus announcements, latest headlines from the news, and weather forecasts including the weather radar for our region.
Note the title on the left: "Midwest Radar".
Note the emphasis on "west" by including Idaho, Utah, Arizona and even a small part of California on the map.
Note the lack of inclusion of many traditional Midwest locations such as the states of Illinois (and of particular note, Chicago), Michigan (including Detroit), Indiana and Ohio.
At least now I know that Kansas is officially in the Midwest. Along with New Mexico.
