Our Call to Action

"Education is about creating hope and opportunities for our citizens. Now is the time for higher education to provide leadership in helping to create Michigan's future."
- David Eisler, FSU President

Taking opportunity to everyone.

Opportunity -- for Woodbridge N. Ferris, it meant, "Education for all the people all the time."

Since 1974, Ferris has taken higher education to the citizens of Michigan through partnerships with local entities, particularly community colleges. With the heightened awareness of the need for education beyond high school and the recent recognition that Michigan lags the nation in baccalaureate degree holders, Ferris has expanded its efforts to offer distinctive baccalaureate-level programming in additional communities.
The University currently offers certificates and degrees at 19 different sites throughout the state. During the next year, that number will increase to 26 with the addition of programs in Alpena, Auburn Hills, Howell, Livonia, Port Huron, Roscommon and Warren, in partnership with the local community colleges.

Hitting the road to celebrate tradition and success.

Our tour will celebrate lasting and successful partnerships with Lansing, Mott, Macomb and Grand Rapids Community Colleges with academic leadership from all institutions coming together to share ideas for expanding opportunities for students.
Each afternoon and evening, we look forward to connecting with our alumni and friends in the greater Lansing, Flint, Detroit and Grand Rapids metro areas to recognize their success and their impact on their communities, vocations and industries.
