ASMSU Readership Program

The World at Your Fingertips...
April 6 through May 1, Michigan State University students will have the world at their fingertips. ASMSU has partnered with USA TODAY to launch a trial of the Collegiate Readership Program on campus.

The mission of the readership program is to promote civic engagement, global awareness, and media literacy on campus, by exposing students to the news in their living, learning and community spaces. ASMSU is launching this initiative to broaden students’ awareness of current issues through newspaper readership and to help students become more informed and engaged citizens.

USA TODAY, New York Times, and Detroit Free Press will be available every weekday at the following locations:

-Cata Bus Station
-Bessey Hall
-Business College
-Communication Arts and Sciences
-Engineering
-Wells Hall
-Erickson
-Natural Sciences
-Old Horticulture
-Case Hall
-Shaw Hall
-Rather
-Butterfield
-Hubbard
-Snyder
-Phillips
-Holmes
-Yakley
-Akers

The Financial Times is also available in the Eli Broad College of Business. Because the newspapers are sponsored by ASMSU, students can select the newspaper(s) of their choice at no charge at the time of pick up.

The Collegiate Readership Program, managed by USA TODAY, was developed in 1997 at The Pennsylvania State University, and has since expanded to over 500 campuses across the country. The program is complemented by the USA TODAY Academic website, www.usatodaycollege.com, which includes resources for students and faculty, the Voices initiative, and best practices for curricular and co-curricular use. Other participating Big Ten institutions include: Indiana University, Northwestern University, The Ohio State University, The Pennsylvania State University, University of Illinois and University of Iowa.

Town Hall Meeting - Shaping the Future and Shipping Us Out

Thursday, March 25, 2010
Time:	7:00am - 8:00am
Location:	MSU Union, Multicultural Center

Why you were sleeping they were creeping and they stole from you! The administration is moving like a thief in the night to trim the budget, and shockingly the fat in our system has come in the form of students of color. O, how the CAAP office has changed my life, don't those OCAT Aides make the transition process almost effortless, isn't the office of Cultural and Academic Transitions a pivotal resource for you - THEN NOW IS THE TIME TO SPEAK UP AND SPEAK OUT! 

The final decision of whether or not these and countless other services are needed is steadily approaching; if not for you, then think of the next generation of spartans to walk upon this campus with no support system for the needs, academic interests, and social interests of students of color.
