Spring break is fast approach­ing and stu­dents are decid­ing if and where they will be head­ing for vacation.

Students’ selec­tions can be deter­mined based on whether they want and then decide if they want to drive, fly, or take a train to that des­ti­na­tion. But, that’s only part of the trip as there are many options for shel­ter such as a hotel, resort, or beach house. All for a price, of course.

Deb Wright, intern at Time Two Travel LLC in Big Rapids, said, “Students who come to us usu­ally have a set price range and we try to work some­thing out accord­ing to that num­ber.” (more…)

John Matlock and Ronald Snead were at the cen­ter of two civil rights demon­stra­tions in the spring of 1969 that changed Ferris, and them, for years to come.

There were two major demon­stra­tions at Ferris; one occurred when the Starr build­ing was taken over by a sit-in group and the other was a riot in the park­ing lot near Brophy and McNerney res­i­dence halls.  Both ended in mul­ti­ple arrests.

Matlock arrived at Ferris as a 22-year-old fresh­man who had pre­vi­ously worked in a fac­tory in his home­town of Detroit. Snead came in as a 24-year-old with a wife and two kids. Neither had expe­ri­enced or par­tic­i­pated in the kind of activism that would soon sur­round them and shape the rest of their lives. (more…)

Stefan Randjelovic received a kid­ney trans­plant in Aug. of 1997 when he was 11 years old, and thus feels thank­ful for those who are will­ing to give the gift of life by donat­ing an organ.

Randjelovic, a senior in the busi­ness admin­is­tra­tion pro­gram, believes that the Gift of Life Campus Challenge will encour­age more peo­ple to reg­is­ter to be donors to help shorten the wait­ing list. (more…)

For the sec­ond con­sec­u­tive week, the Bulldogs squan­dered a lead in a Thursday night game, only to respond with feroc­ity on Saturday.

On Feb. 11 against Michigan Tech, Ferris was in com­plete con­trol as it held a 17-point lead with 15:23 to play. Junior forward/center Justin Keenan made a layup to put Ferris up by 11 with 5:50 to go, but fouled out of the game with 4:24 remain­ing. (more…)
