Wayne State University continues to funnel big buckets of money from grants (research and otherwise) into its coffers. The latest to make their way into Midtown are $155,000 for the university's Law School, $290,000 for its Engineering School and $2 million for its Nursing College.
That $2 million comes from the state as part of a new initiative to create a new generation of nurses to help fill Michigan's current nursing shortage. This money will specifically go toward training more nursing educators in master and doctorate programs to help train even more home-grown nurses.
The $290,000 goes to Wayne State Electrical and Computer Engineering Prof. Nabil Sarhan. He will use the National Science Foundation grant to develop a low cost security system that performs computer automated, real-time threat detection.
The $155,000 is a gift from
Bodman to Wayne State's Law School. The money will be used to support both faculty and students. It will also help fund the construction of the new Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights and Community Development.
