Difference honors
100 individuals and
organizations
By COLLEEN HARRISON
Daily Staff Reporter
Students, faculty and mem-
bers of the University commu-
nity gathered Wednesday night to
honor students who were nomi-
nated for their leadership on cam-
pus.
Hosted by the Division of Stu-
dent Life, the Michigan Differ-
ence Student Leadership Awards
recognized about 100 student
leaders and student organiza-
tions, chosen from several hun-
dred nominations. Nearly 400
people attended the fourth annual
event.
Awards recognized students
and groups in various categories,
including art, philanthropy, ath-
letics and academics. For example,
the Markley Hall Council won an
award recognizing best teamwork
by a student organization. The
Detroit Partnership was noted as
the group with the most impact
on the campus community.
Steven Bodei, assistant direc-
tor of student development and
experiential
learning,
helped
coordinate the event, and noted it
focuses on recognizing students
in all arenas of campus life.
“The
Michigan
Difference
Student Leadership Awards is to
recognize students who are doing
really amazing things, not neces-
sarily in the classroom,” he said.
Bodei said, as the event has
evolved over the past few years,
it’s become distinct from other
award ceremonies because it
focuses on more than just the
awards, and aims to create a fun
atmosphere.
“Five or six years ago they used
to do an event that was similar to
this and it was kind of your tra-
ditional everyone sits in an audi-
torium and people call people’s
names,” Bodei said “It wasn’t very
fun to be at, so unless you were
winning there was basically no
need to be there.”
Working with what Bodei
described
as
“Oscar-esque
style,” this year’s ceremony
featured the two masters of
ceremonies, LSA senior Simon
Rivers
and
LSA
sophomore
Joshua Hobson, opening with a
parody of “I Believe I Can Fly,”
changed to “I Believe I Can
Win.”
“There is a lot of effort that
goes into this and I’m glad
because we have so much tal-
ent within our university, and
it’s something that (the Divi-
sion of Student Life doesn’t) take
lightly. They’re really trying to
recognize these individuals and
give them an opportunity to
shine and be in the spotlight,”
Hobson said.
Those in attendance walked a
blue carpet as they arrived, and
a photographer snapped pho-
tos of attendees both individu-
ally and in groups. The Friars, a
University a cappella group, also
performed halfway through the
ceremony.
“One of the things we’ve kind
of transitioned from is that,
although professional staff and
student life help organize the
event, it’s very driven by stu-
dents so all the awards are for
students, most if not all of the
presenters are students, per-
formers are students, it’s very
student-driven, whereas in the
past it was very staff driven,”
Bodei said.

Acoustic Eidolon
band plays to raise
money for Micah
Smiles fund at Mott
By ALEX JUNTTI
For the Daily
Guests hurried into the audi-
torium at The Ark as the lights
dimmed and the band Acoustic
Eidolon took the stage during
Wednesday night’s second annual
Micah Smiles Benefit Concert.
The
performance
drew
applause from the filled audito-
rium, but an even more notice-
able excitement radiated from the
audience as the band and event
organizers took time to talk about
the event’s charitable mission:
to continue to expand the music
therapy program at C.S. Mott
Children’s and Von Voigtlander
Women’s Hospital.
The Micah Smiles Fund for
Music Therapy was founded in
December 2012 by Micah Can-
vasser’s mother, Jennifer Can-
vasser. Micah spent 10 months
at Mott battling an intestinal
disease before passing away at 11
months old. Throughout Micah’s
time at Mott, she and her family
cherished the music therapy pro-
gram.
In Micah’s memory and in the
support of the music therapy pro-
gram, The Micah Smiles Benefit
concert is a way to gather pro-
ceeds in an effort to enrich as
many lives as of pediatric patients
as possible through the healing
powers of music.
Canvasser said the concert
aims to raise awareness for the
public about the power of music
therapy.
“This is a therapy that is very
powerful and can really uplift
the kids’ spirits and help connect
families together, bring a smile to
the child’s face and get their mind
off the painful surgeries and com-
plications that they’re having,”
she said.
Since its founding two years
ago, the Micah Smiles Fund has
raised $63,000 for music therapy
at Mott and has seen the depart-
ment triple from one full-time
music therapist to two full-time
employees and a new music ther-
apy fellow.
Meredith Schlabig, Mott’s sec-
ond full-time music therapist, said
she tries to get to know patients
on a personal level to better reach
them through music.
“The main overarching thing
for me as a music therapist is to
really hone in on who the patients
are as individuals and bring who
they are into the room through
music
when
sometimes
they
may not feel like who they are,”
Schlabig said.
Schlabig works with patients
on singing, songwriting, creative
self-expression,
pain
manage-
ment and positive coping skills.
She also teaches instruments such
as the ukulele, guitar and piano.
“My philosophy is if I go into
a patient’s room and the child
hasn’t smiled, I haven’t done my
job,” Schlabig said. “The amount
of smiles and laughter and con-
versation and beautiful music I
get to make with patients every
day is very rewarding to me.”
Mia Litzenberg, an 11-year-old
singer who was recently hospital-
ized for severe eczema, has wit-
nessed the benefits the program
has to offer. She said the music
therapists, particularly Schlabig,
have always been extremely kind.
“They encourage you and they
are always there for you,” Litzen-
berg said. “When I was getting my
treatments, I was really depressed
and sad, but when I met Meredith
she was always helping me and she
just brought me a smile.”
Liztenberg’s
mother,
Lisa,
added that the music therapists
completely changed her daugh-
ter’s attitude about her illness.
