Venue staff took our tickets and one of the technicians Rico told us to enjoy the movie. There was an audio issue in the beginning but it was quickly rectified. The film "WILD CARDS" was an advanced screening and very well made! Plot was riveting. It is to be released in February 2027. There was a panel discussion at the end and acclaimed actor Leon plus the director Wes Miller(a former civil rights attorney) took questions along with posing for photos. They had a backdrop with props at the entrance which was nice. Only thing missing was the popcorn but there's no eating or drinking in the theatre!

I attended a meeting at Marygrove College and learned all about their revitalization of the campus…read more The buildings were constructed in the 1920's.  They had fallen into disuse over the past decade. At this time they are being remodeled and repaired.  A college will begin operation in the main building shortly and in some cases is already in operation. Over the next two years an elementary school with attached high school will start to operate in one of the buildings.  At this time of year the grounds look sparse and bare.  I am looking forward to the spring and will return to look at it at that time. The woodwork in the building is still intact.  There are many religious artifacts and statues of great beauty.  The classrooms are large and have plenty of natural lighting. The telecommunications system is due to be updated. The people that work here are professional, interested, intelligent and kind.  I was especially happy to tour their beautiful library.  I will need to return when the sun is out and the windows are all open.  It is going to be a beautiful teaching college.

After attending CMU for my undergraduate degree, I opted to remain loyal and earn my Masters…read morethrough Central as well. My particular cohort is based out of the Troy center. And while it's not quite the same as the bar hopping, house partying, beer bonging, roomate arguing, cold pizza for breakfast days as my undergrad - I really have no complaints about the Troy center! Located on Maple between John R & Stephenson Highway, it's pretty easy to get to - just a couple miles off of I-75. Clear sign from the road, and one main entrance to get inside. It houses only a small collection of classrooms, but even if you ignored your professor emails before the first day of class, there is an electronic screen scrolling the various courses and which room they are located in. There is a large kitchen with a number of tables and chairs, a few vending machines that are always well stocked, and a refrigerator and microwave for community use. In the lobby of the building is also the "Maple Street Deli", which is a small store run by the tiniest, most delightful Asian woman. She will make a small selection of sandwiches and salads fresh for you, and also sell you any number of chips, candy, beverages, and granola bars. She'll always greet you with a smile and remind you to wash that apple you just bought before you eat it. She keeps the Maple Street Deli open even on weekends, so us folks in a Saturday class aer still able to get a quick lunch without leaving the premesis. The bathrooms are large and impeccably clean at all times. I don't know how often the cleaning staff is in there (or maybe we are just a neat and tidy group that doesn't dirty it?) but there is never so much as a paper towel on the floor or splash of water on the sink. Classrooms are set up with large tables and plush rolling desk chairs. They're not stingy with the AC, to the point that I usually make sure to bring an extra hoody or sweater to keep from being chilled. Another great asset to this center is the student work room, stocked with a handful of computers and the crown jewel - a beautiful, new copier/printer that is always fully stacked with paper, can collate AND staple as it copies...never jams or runs out of toner it seems. You may be thinking, "so? big deal - seems like something that would be standard." But ooooh no. I have spent much time in educational facilities and this is not always the case. Facilities aside, any emails I send to the folks in the student services offices here are responded to promptly - like, within the half hour. So thanks CMU Troy for making graduate degrees as convienent and pleasant as possible. (Until I think about the thousands of dollars in tuition floating out of my pocket each semester.)

I really like the quiet environment and how this university has the nice essentials like GOOD FOOD. There is a chick fil a here... THAT IS AMAZING. The library is also really really nice and I always go to the 3rd floor where it is a quiet study place. I took summer classes and the education is nice! The professors are really passionate and really encourages their student to strive to their fullest potential. There is some leniency but I think it was due to a strong connection I had with my professors. I honestly I love this campus and this is my definitely a hot spot to study when I visit home.
