| New for May 15, 2008: Rachel Folcik: A True Student-Athlete - New graduate Rachel Folcik is off to explore the world after her All-America and Academic All-America basketball career at Ferris. |
Welcome to our "Sidebars" section, where campus personalities and features will appear on our Ferris Web site on a continual basis. Our lead writer, Sandy Gholston, is an award-winning journalist and a member of the University Advancement and Marketing division. You'll see many of Sandy's stories in the future, and we also encourage members of the Ferris community to submit their creative writings. Stories and poems with a Ferris theme are preferred, but all submitted articles will be considered. Writers will earn a byline and find a new way to reach out to our students and colleagues.
Please email any story ideas or finished copy to Ted Halm, Web Content Manager, 231-591-2331. And, as usual, thanks for visiting the Ferris Web site.
