Marygrove College site, program offer discussions on Detroit

Marygrove College launched its new Web site on Jan. 26. The college hopes to encourage more students from Detroit to enroll as well as attract students from outside areas to the city. The new site also features several links to events and things to do in Detroit, relaying the message that the university is located in a vibrant city.

Marygrove, through its Institute for Detroit Studies, is also offering an ongoing community outreach program called Defining Detroit. The program features panels of several well-known Detroit figures. The next panel, “Preservation Downtown; The Politics of Preservation,” will be held on Feb. 23 at 7:30 in the Madame Cadillac Bldg. This lecture will feature Francis Grunow, the head of Preservation Wayne, among other local preservationists. These lectures are free and open to the public.
