Wayne State University
Consul donates money to study abroad program
The 'Wayne in Abruzzo' Study Abroad program with Wayne State University received a $15,840 donation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Italian government in Detroit, according to The South End.
Consul of Italy Carlo Romeo, who is proud to offer support, is specifically responsible for the donation to WSU. His donation will directly aid scholarships for students to study in Gagliano Aterno, Italy
In order to participate in the program, students with a major or minor in Italian, an individual financial need and an acceptable grade point average, are best qualified.
'Wayne in Abruzzo' gives WSU students the chance to spend five weeks abroad in Italy, fine-tuning their Italian speech and soaking up the country's culture.
For those who are involved, the experience is said to be a significant and constructive opportunity.
Michigan State University
State aid will help with renovation
$40 million for renovations at Michigan State University, entailed in Gov. Jennifer Granholm's recent $1 billion proposal, is part of the total $146 million intended to renovate MSU's Life Sciences Building, according to The State News.
Planning the matter might be underway as soon as this year, making this the first building repair project invested in by the state in three years.
With state assistance, MSU's overall bill for renovation comes to $106 million. However, some doubt that Granholm's proposal will survive legislature without the mention of other university projects.
Nine out of 15 universities were suggested to receive financial support from the state. Among those rejected schools are Central Michigan University, Ferris State University, Grand Valley State University, Oakland University and Western Michigan University.
Ferris State University
Freshman found dead in dorm
Ferris State University campus police identified the body of Mark Andrew Jankowski the morning of March 4, according to the Grand Haven Tribune.
18-year-old Jankowski was discovered unresponsive in his dorm room on the second floor of Merrill Hall with no apparent signs of trauma.
Police did find various drug-related equipment, leading authorities to speculate whether drugs were involved in his death.
An autopsy has been scheduled for Jankowski.
