NEWS The Michigan Daily - Monday, April 17, 2006 - 7A ALUM Continued from page 1A while the rest of us, myself included, think we need to sit down for hours to be inspired," Chamberlin said. The recurring theme from friends and coworkers was Kosto- va's lack of pretentiousness, even after her fame. Friends and coworkers say they're impressed by Kostova's "ordinariness. Even after her hefty book deal, she lives in a modest two- bedroom house in Ann Arbor. Her colleagues like her, despite her success, which is sometimes grounds for disfavor in the back-biting and heavily competitive world of creative writing MFA programs. "The thing about Elizabeth is that everyone loved her so much that there wasn't even that usual jealously," said Andrea Beau- champ, program associate for the Hopwood awards program. "Everyone was just so thrilled for her, and I've never seen that before," she said. Petar Stoichev is a character in "The Historian" whom Kos- tova included as a tribute to the University, which Kostova says made a monumental impact on her life and played a significant role in her success. "I don't know where I would be without the University of Michigan," she said. MONEY BRAINS Continued from page 1A course, I might take it," Smoot said. Because the University lacks a course in personal finance, Robinson said he hopes students will turn to his Money Brains program to learn the basics. "It is not rocket science," Robinson said. "If you can add, subtract, divide and multiply, you can do this stuff." Robinson hopes to come to the University in the fall as part of a planed personal finance speaking tour. CAAS Continued from page 1A studies and Afro-Caribbean studies. "We're expanding the notion of what African-American studies can be," CAAS Director Kevin Gaines said. He said the CAAS program at the University is unique because it focuses on undergraduate education and train- ing future scholars. "At Michigan, we have built this really large and pre-eminent program by using a multi-genera- tional model," Gaines said. "Other programs hire prominent senior scholars who generate a lot of pub- licity, but they're less involved in the training of the next generation of researchers." CAAS Prof. Jon Lockard is the last remaining founding member of the center. He still remembers the begin- ning of CAAS. He said CAAS was created as a response to the demands of black stu- dents on campus. Students demanded a department, but the University offered a center. Lockard would not speak about the backlash and struggles he and the cen- ter endured during those tumultuous times. "Let dead dogs die and let's plant a few fresh seeds," he said. Lockard said CAAS is an integral part of the University. "Students from different ethnic groups have an opportunity to learn about the accomplishments and achievements of African Ameri- cans," he said. He said he wants CAAS to reach out to younger students before they enter the University. "We don't have an institution yet that has ties or connections to high schools or elementary schools," he said. "We're training students of all ethnic groups to understand some of the develop- ments, dilemmas and successes of African-American existence and growth and take that back to high schools and elementary schools." LSA senior Kennesha Kelly decid- ed to become a CAAS major because of the diverse history of the African diaspora, which gave her a different perspective on world issues. "You have to talk about France, Germany, all these places that colo- nized Africa," she said. "You get a global perspective on a lot of issues." Kelly said she eventually wants to work for a nonprofit organization, dealing with global health issues like health disparities and developments around the world. Kelly is one of 50 students who are graduating with CAAS majors and minors this year. Lockard would like to see stu- dents take more of the 50 courses that CAAS offers. "We ought not have an educational experience that allows students to leave as they came," he said. "They come as boys and girls and they leave as young men and young women." WEST QUAD Continued from page 1A report. The University's Risk Management Office is making itself available to work with students' insurance companies. "We got really good cooperation from the students with minor exceptions," Levy said. Levy also acknowledged the several dozen staff members from West Quad and other dorms who "really worked hard with the disaster recovery company" to save students' property. Various moves were made to ensure a speedy recovery from the disaster. Daily meetings were held with students to keep the students updated and staff informed about student concerns. A page was created on the Housing web- site to assist students who experienced property damage. The page will be up until the end of the term, Levy said. Free laundry services were provided for the residents throughout the week. To compensate for large losses in print- ed material, students' printing allocations were expanded. At the daily meetings, students reported that their professors were receptive to their situation. "All we heard was that faculty was sup- portive and helpful," Levy said. The affected rooms are at risk for mil- dew, mold and permanent odor. The disaster recovery company, Coach's Catastrophe Cleaning and Restoration Ser- vices, is using machines that blow warm air to "hasten the drying-out process and make the mold less likely," Levy said.
