MSU AND DETROIT: PARTNERS THEN AND NOW

Michigan State University’s Detroit connection goes back to our very beginnings, and our enduring bonds of alumni and community engagement have only grown stronger with time. e year of MSU’s founding, J. C. Holmes of Detroit was secretary of the Michigan State Agricultural Society, which was a strong proponent of a state agricultural college. Meeting in Detroit in November of 1855, Michigan’s Board of Education directed Holmes to make “full and ample inquiries” regarding the buildings, materials, and resources needed to launch the Agricultural College of the State of Michigan, as MSU was rst called. Holmes delivered his report the following January, when the board approved construction of an all-purpose college building and a boarding house. Later that year, the board appointed Holmes as Michigan State’s rst professor of horticulture. MSU’s Holmes Hall bears his name. Today a lot of knowledge, talent, and innovation connects MSU and southeast Michigan, including the nearly 45 percent of our Michigan students who come from the counties of Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne. ose counties also are home to 37 percent of our alumni who live in Michigan. Michigan State is deeply invested in Detroit—from working with its public schools and advancing the arts to supporting economic development and entrepreneurship and providing a range of programs that improve health and quality of life. Among the many ways Detroit, in turn, supports MSU, is by helping many of our graduates launch their careers. e Big ree automakers are among the top employers of our 2014 graduates, as are uicken Loans and metro Detroit-area health systems. I’m oen in Detroit, representing the university in work with our partners, alumni, and community leaders, and attending meetings of the Detroit Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and Business Leaders for Michigan. Michigan State’s engagement in Detroit over many years isn’t just a natural consequence of the city’s prominence. It’s an intentional result of our land-grant mission to work with our stakeholders where they live, as partners in empowering individuals for better lives and as co-creators of solutions to their most pressing problems. One of many ways we’ve engaged with Detroiters where they live is by participating in photo exhibitions featuring portraits of the people of Detroit, the city’s greatest asset. In 2013, we produced Detroit Resurgent, a display of 62 black-and-white portraits accompanied by interviews with residents in their PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE working environments. e exhibition also became a book published by the MSU Press. e most recent exhibition was connected to Taking Back Detroit, a compelling May 2015 National Geographic magazine and online feature written by veteran Detroit journalist and MSU alumna Susan Ager, ’75, for National Geographic’s Editor-in-Chief Susan Goldberg, ’84, also a Spartan graduate. e people of Detroit are at the heart of this issue. Proles and interviews of ve Detroit-area Spartans and an opening essay by longtime Detroit Metro Times writer and MSU alumnus Larry Gabriel, ’75, remind us what makes Detroit a strong and spirited world-class city, still rising.

“Spartans in the D” was an extraordinary night with 30,000 Spartans showing their MSU pride and love of Tigers baseball. But that wasn’t the best thing about the night—each ticket generated support for MSU student scholarships.

Thank you Spartans! If you missed the ballgame, don’t worry. There are many opportunities to meet up with other Spartans in Detroit. And, you can always join the thousands of Spartans who contribute to student scholarships.

By Larry Gabriel, ’75, Communication Arts and Sciences

When I graduated from MSU in 1975, I consciously chose to return home to Detroit rather than head o to a faraway place. I did the same thing ﬁ ve years later after I earned my master’s degree from Penn State University—despite a chorus of friends telling me, “You’re out; why go back?” I came back because I’m a Detroiter. I was born here—the ﬁ rst person in my family not born in New Orleans. All of my friends and family were in Detroit. It was the place I knew, and despite the multitude of problems that Detroit seemed to be facing, I believed the Motor City would come back. I just didn’t realize it would take some 40 years before I’d see real evidence that the city is changing direction. To me, that evidence is the growing enthusiasm for place-making that’s now sweeping across the city. Whether it’s the revival of the Avenue of Fashion, the economic promise of M1 light rail, the friendly atmosphere of the Riverwalk, the new liveliness of Palmer Park, or the growing sense that Detroit is a multicultural village with people from all over the globe settling here, there is an optimism that I haven’t felt in a long time. Add to that the vitality of downtown and Midtown that is spilling over to other areas of the city, and it looks like Detroit is indeed rising up.

D_Feature3 Dan Gilbert.indd 1 10/19/2015 4:35:17 PM Dan Gilbert is helping to write Detroit’s comeback story

By Paula M. Davenport

If business executive Warren Buffett is the “Oracle of Omaha,” then it seems only fair to call Michigan State University alumnus Dan Gilbert the “Dream Maker of Detroit.” The two men, who are friends, are dyed- in-the-wool American visionaries. While Gilbert is the junior of the two, he’s every bit as ambitious as Buffett. And his plans for Detroit aim to position his city for what could be the biggest comeback story of its kind. Gilbert is the founder and chairman of Rock Ventures—the umbrella company for his more than 110 real estate and business investments—and majority owner of Quicken Loans, the nation’s second largest mortgage lender, and the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers. He earned his real estate license while working on his bachelor’s degree in communications at MSU. He went on to earn a law degree at Wayne State University and worked part-time at his parents’ Century 21 real estate company.
