Central Michigan University's long-time partnership with Special Olympics Michigan continues Thursday when opening ceremonies commence at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.
And what better partnership could there be?
More than 2,500 athletes will descend upon campus, and for the 36th consecutive year, CMU plays host.
Central Michigan University's English department is losing seven members of its faculty.
The number represents 22 percent of its tenured and tenure track faculty members.
For Heidi Holder, the decision to leave her tenured position in the department was in the best interest of her family.
Senior outfielder Tyler Stovall and 197-pound wrestler Wynn Michalak have each received ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic honors.
Stovall has been named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America team for the second consecutive year and Michalak was selected to the all-district first team.
Finance and Law professor Nancy White has announced her candidacy for state representative for Isabella and Midland counties in the Nov. 4 elections.
White, a Democrat, is running against current District 99 representative Bill Caul, a Republican. Both candidates are running uncontested in their respective primaries.
A university's reputation can be distinguished by many different aspects - whether it's academics, faculty, athletics, or campus life.
If judged by the amount being paid to its highest-salaried employees, Central Michigan University uses athletics to gain national recognition.
About 1,500 volunteers and 2,700 athletes will come together for this summer's Michigan Special Olympics.
Opening Ceremonies take place Thursday at Kelly/Shorts Stadium, followed by a carnival in the Rose Pond Area. Competition starts Friday and concludes on Saturday.
“Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” may look like the other three movies in the franchise, but at its core holds little in common with its predecessors.
On its own, the film marginally works. But in regards with the legacy it was billed to uphold, it is a downright failure.
John and Tammy Morris watched their daughter Johnny pass with trombone in hand as Dixie, their 90-pound boxer, sat alongside.
It was just one scene from Monday's annual Memorial Day Parade in downtown Mount Pleasant. Johnny marched as a member of the Mount Pleasant High School marching band.
The state of the economy in the United States is leading to higher study abroad costs, according to a report from USA Today.
Central Michigan University Study Abroad advisor Amber Schneider said about 450 students participated in CMU's program during the 2007-2008 academic year, and there are many ways to diffuse the costs.
Now that another baseball season has come to an end, it's time for Steve Jaksa to turn his attention to next year.
Jaksa's ball club will look very different next year when it takes the field at Thuenissen Stadium. Seniors Tyler Stovall, Jeff Helps, Sean Hoorelbeke, Jason Brown, Jeff Nowaczyk, Eric Lawrence, and Noah Lankford have all run out of eligibility.
Sue Martin left the campus of Central Michigan University in 1971 with a bachelor's degree.
More than 35 years later, she enters another Michigan university as president.
Martin was announced as Eastern Michigan University's first female president on May 14.
After 10 consecutive Mid-American Conference titles, Tom Borrelli graduated seven of his best wrestlers. Conventional wisdom would say that its time for the program to rebuild. Instead, Borrelli has reloaded.
Central Michigan's class of incoming recruits has been ranked second in the country by W.
Mount Pleasant Parks and Recreation plans to construct a universally accessible trail through Chipp-A-Waters Park and establish a permanently endowed fund with the Mount Pleasant Area Community Foundation.
Parks and Recreation will extend the current river walk trail, which currently connects five major parks with a three-mile, barrier-free trail system.
More than ever, academia is suffering from a bad economy and budget crisis.
And it's not always as pronounced as rising tuition.
This summer, seven tenure track and tenured English Department professors will leave the university because of retirement or other reasons.
