Hope College brings first drone delivery system
Have you been craving some tasty froyo? Too lazy to actually leave your home, or dorm room, to get it? Well at Hope College this is one worry you can cross off your list.
Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt has started its first drone delivery system, located in Holland, MI. According to USAtoday.com, this is the first drone worldwide to make deliveries. The drone travels at a speed of up to 30 miles an hour, and can carry up to 30 pounds of merchandise. There are fees associated with the delivery process, but they are negotiated at the time the order is placed.
Orange Leaf’s director has high hopes that this will expand their business, along with more delivery opportunities worldwide.
Lake Superior State becomes transfer school
If Lake Superior State University is on your list of dream schools, you’re in luck. Delta has signed a partnership agreement with LSSU, located in Sault Ste Marie, in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
The reason behind this is to increase the number of students who attend, and complete degrees, at Michigan colleges and universities. In order to qualify for transfer, the students are required to have at least 24 credits from Delta, or prior, to transfer.
Jean Goodnow and David Finley, Presidents of Delta College and Lake Superior State, both feel that this move will give students the opportunity for success and a wider range of employment options once they have achieved their degree.
Michigan State establishes healing area
For most, this year’s election was extremely rough for our generation. According to detroit.cbslocal.com, Michigan State University took these feelings, based on the results, and took them to the next level.
Inside the Business College Complex, a healing center has been established for those who are facing grief and anxiety from the election results. With an attendance of over 300 people, Michigan State is one out of two Michigan universities to supply this healing opportunity for their students.
Though this will be only temporary, it has made the students feel like they are truly part of a community, while on the other hand, Jeff Litten, president of MSU college Republicans, knows that in the real world, these kinds of spaces don’t exist.
