Michigan's Colleges and Universities Miss Our Students

Kalamazoo Valley Community College President L. Marshall Washington, Ph.D., represented the college in an encouraging video for students that was coordinated by Michigan’s three higher education associations.

The project was spearheaded by the Michigan Association of State Universities, Michigan Independent Colleges and Universities, and the Michigan Community College Association to assure students that the state’s colleges and universities remain committed to helping them succeed and complete their studies.

Representatives from participating institutions submitted two or three photos of themselves holding signs with encouraging messages for current and future students. “Now, more than ever, we need to reach out to our students to assure them that we’re still here to help them reach their educational goals,” Washington said. “If you’re familiar with Kalamazoo Valley, you know that we really do believe that ‘together is better.’ It’s important to remember that we’re all in this together – even while we have to be apart.”
