Although the Bulldogs lost 3–0 against the Broncos of Western Michigan, Saturday’s game meant more than just a reg­u­lar sea­son finale. It was senior night, hon­or­ing eight Bulldog play­ers before the game with a lone skate around the rink. And after the game, the team was pre­sented with the CCHA reg­u­lar sea­son tro­phy. Ferris State had secured a first round bye of the CCHA play­offs due to a first place reg­u­lar sea­son fin­ish. The Bulldogs return to the ice in a sec­ond round series on March 9, 10, and 11th against the low­est seeded team.

MIMA and OH MI pro­duc­tions pre­sented the Hip Hop Showcase on Thursday with eight dif­fer­ent per­form­ers who rocked the stage in front of a size­able crowd in the Rankin Dome Room.

As the final week­end of the reg­u­lar sea­son, #1 nation­ally ranked FSU hockey team plays Western Michigan. On Friday night, the Bulldogs will travel down to Kalamazoo to take on the Broncos while on Saturday, the Bulldogs will host the last reg­u­lar sea­son game. Saturday’s home game will be Senior Night where the eight FSU seniors will be hon­ored before the start of the game. When the two teams faced off ear­lier this year, Ferris lost both games 4–2 and 3–0. (more…)

When asked if his cur­rent 11-game point streak had any­thing to do with the Bulldogs cur­rent suc­cess senior Bulldog defense­man Chad Billins mod­estly replied not at all; instead the team is suc­cess­ful because of their depth Billins said.

“Getting scor­ing from all from all four lines has def­i­nitely helped our team and just shows how deep our ros­ter is night in and night out,” Billins said. (more…)

I attended the Leadership Summit Conference at Grand Valley State University this past week­end and found myself lis­ten­ing to a pre­sen­ta­tion about LinkedIn, the largest pro­fes­sional net­work on the Internet.

I was fas­ci­nated that 150 mil­lion mem­bers from more than 200 coun­tries are con­stantly search­ing for new employ­ees or new employ­ment oppor­tu­ni­ties. According to the LinkedIn com­pany overview at linkedin​.com, their mem­bers con­ducted over 4.2 bil­lion pro­fes­sional ori­ented searches in 2011. (more…)

On Dec. 22, FSU Athletic Director Perk Weisenburger announced the appoint­ment of Tony Annese as the new head foot­ball coach. According to Weisenburger, Annese had been selected from a field of 50 appli­cants which had resulted from a nation­wide search. Coming off three suc­cess­ful sea­sons at Grand Rapids Community College, Annese is believed to be the man who will not only restore the win­ning tra­di­tion that once was Bulldog foot­ball but also take the pro­gram to the next level.

On Feb. 16, I attended the sec­ond of President Eisler’s Student Debt and Degree Completion forums. I was dis­ap­pointed, and shocked, by some of the ideas put forth by the participants.

Eisler opened the meet­ing with some “sober­ing” sta­tis­tics. In five years (2006 to 2011), stu­dent debt increased by 66.3 per­cent. At the rate of 66.3 per­cent every five years, in 2020 stu­dent debt will reach $90,000 or more for a bachelor’s degree at Ferris. (more…)
