The con­cert that is con­sid­ered by most to be the biggest Ferris State University event of the year was moved into Wink Arena this year due to inclement weather. The arena drew in a crowd so large that max­i­mum capac­ity was reached, and they had to begin turn­ing peo­ple away. (more…)

By the end of col­lege, they say you’re sup­posed to have some sort of direc­tion you’re going in life. Well, news­flash, I don’t.

I’ve heard the same thing repeated my entire life. In ele­men­tary school we could be what­ever we wanted. In mid­dle school we could still be what­ever we wanted. In high school we didn’t have to pick a career yet, we just had to get into a good school. Even in col­lege after chang­ing my major numer­ous times I was always told it was all right, I still had time. (more…)

Ferris Fest 2011 is inch­ing ever closer, and with April 16 right around the cor­ner, the cam­pus is get­ting ready for the biggest con­cert event of the year.

Contrary to what is now pop­u­lar belief, Sean Kingston, not Justin Bieber, will be head­lin­ing this year’s con­cert and will be tak­ing the stage at 5 p.m. the day of the event. The open­ers for Kingston will include Cartel, Steve Means, and Gunnar & The Grizzly Boys. (more…)

The first Turn Up The Good event brought FSU a brand new genre of music that intro­duced Ferris stu­dents to a whole new musi­cal experience.

Wink Arena was packed with stu­dents last Thursday who turned out to see The Glitch Mob, Virtual Boy, Item9, and Ferris’ own Keaton Kidder. 1,548 stu­dents, com­mu­nity mem­bers, and even fac­ulty bought tick­ets and attended the per­for­mance. (more…)

After months of hard work and ded­i­ca­tion, the Music Industry Management Association will finally present FSU with its first ever elec­tronic music concert.

MIMA has been col­lab­o­rat­ing with other reg­is­tered stu­dent orga­ni­za­tions since the mid­dle of November to make this con­cert a pos­si­bil­ity at Ferris. Besides hold­ing for­mal meet­ings to get financ­ing and approval for the event, the group also had to get spon­sors and do all the pro­mo­tion. Over 100 vol­un­teers have helped the nine stu­dents who orig­i­nally began work­ing to make this con­cert a real­ity. (more…)

On March 25, FSU stu­dents will have the oppor­tu­nity to bring their sib­lings to cam­pus for an excit­ing week­end of fam­ily bond­ing. The Sibs and Kids Weekend annual Residence Hall Association event hopes to bring atten­tion of a larger audi­ence to the uni­ver­sity, while enabling stu­dents to spend qual­ity time with their fam­i­lies.

“Trashed” is a five-star event com­ing to cam­pus that will enter­tain stu­dents into think­ing about how alco­hol may be affect­ing their lives.

Wendi Fox is a for­mer high-risk drinker who now makes a liv­ing off of her enter­tain­ing stand-up com­edy acts that focus around alco­hol and the impact it can have on peo­ple. (more…)

Ferris State University should put the needs of its stu­dents before the needs of the public.

I’ve been attend­ing FSU for three years now. Over time I have watched two cafe­te­rias on cam­pus close and one be ren­o­vated. There are now only two din­ing options for stu­dents with meal plans like myself. (more…)

Relationships are some­thing that require con­stant care and work, which is hard enough to do when you’re together let alone when you’re apart. (more…)

Many stu­dents become increas­ingly wor­ried about ton­ing up and los­ing weight dur­ing this time of year because they want to be ready to hit the beach in March. The prob­lem is com­pounded by the fact that the hol­i­day months have just passed and most peo­ple have put on weight dur­ing this time. (more…)
