Ferris received a grant for $61,000 from the state of Michigan to fund the anticancer drug project. The re- search is led by Ferris Assistant Professor of Medicinal Chemistry Dr. Eric Nybo and is projected to continue for three years. Nybo said the program focuses on creating natural products using biosynthesis or “creating drugs from bugs.” He applied for a grant to purchase equipment to do the research.

Many have challenged the GLI’s stature, but none has matched its continued success. The 2019 competition will be the 55th annual edition of the tournament. It will be played at Little Caesars Ice Arena in Detroit, with Ferris State joining Michigan Tech, Michigan, and Michigan State. The tournament was born out of a conversation between then-general manager of Olym- pia Stadium Lincoln Cavalieri, Michigan Tech’s legendary coach John J. MacInnes, and Detroit Red Wings scout Jack Paterson. The three men were discussing the lack of American-born players in the National Hockey League and concluded that a prestigious collegiate tournament could make a differ- ence by promoting interest in hockey among young athletes in the general public. American Airlines vice president Jack Tompkins, a former University of Michigan goalie and member of the Detroit Red Wings organization, shared their vision as well, and together in 1965, they founded the Great Lakes Invitational hockey tournament. The GLI has grown into one of the premier college and holiday sporting events in the coun- try, originating at Detroit’s Olympia Stadium. Michigan Tech, the host for the tournament since its inception, added Michigan as a co-host in 1976 and moved into its then home, the Joe Louis Arena, in 1979.
