It is my favorite time of year. The cold weather means breaking out the boots from storage, Christmas music is playing nonstop and calories really start to matter because Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Up until a few years ago, Thanksgiving was never really a big thing in the […]
I love telling people how I got here, and even though you didn’t ask, I’m going to tell you, too. For me, “here” is my last semester of college; “here” is a stepping stone into a career as a financial planner; “here” is being called to start a church downriver […]
ldquo;What do you do for fun?” That’s a question I get asked far too many times when I tell people I go to UDM. It doesn’t matter if it’s around campus or back home. Usually I respond by saying I explore the city, attend sporting events either downtown or in […]
Despite his curmudgeonly appearance in this VN file photo, author Elmore Leonard had a great sense of humor and liked to joke with UDM students when he returned to the McNichols campus. Author Elmore Leonard’s name will forever live at this university, his alma mater. His archives, however, will […]

Over the next five years, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will give UDM, Wayne State University, Wayne County Community College District and Marygrove $21.2 million toward […]
This is my favorite time of the year. My family loves this season and growing up there was only one way to celebrate in my house: a scary-movie marathon. My family loves the horror genre. My older sisters, my brother and I grew up watching scary movies. My parents were […]
It is that time of year again! Apple cider and frighteningly fun haunted houses abound. This season offers spooky fun and enjoyable family time. Mlive recently named the three best haunted houses in Michigan: Erebus, The Haunt and Village of the Living Dead. Located in Pontiac, Erebus introduces various scenes […]
It’s easy for a war movie to become cliché and unoriginal. It’s difficult to avoid the same common story arcs and pretentious themes of “war is violent and unforgiving.” David Ayer, writer/director of “Fury,” seems to know this. He doesn’t try to rewrite World War II like Tarantino or recreate […]
