$1.5 million grant to provide
care for underserved Detroiters
Professor hosts roundtable
on history of incarceration
Nursing School
partners with
community health
organization
By JACKIE CHARNIGA
Daily Staff Reporter
As part of an expanded part-
nership between the University’s
School of Nursing and the Detroit
n0n-profit Community Health and
Social Services, the U.S. Depart-
ment of Health and Human Ser-
vices has allocated a $1.5 million
grant to help improve care for
underserved populations.
CHASS, a Detroit-based com-
munity
organization,
provides
primary health care and support
services. The program aims to
apply chronic disease manage-
ment to address diabetes, car-
diovascular disease, asthma and
mental health issues.
This grant is the second $1.5
million gift awarded to the Nurs-
ing School and CHASS. The
first grant, awarded in 2010, was
intended to be three-year provi-
sion to fund nurse practitioners
who would help increase access
to primary health care in under-
served areas.
This year’s grant will allow
Registered Nurse Chronic Care
Coordinators to lead teams of doc-
tors, pharmacists, support staff
and social workers in the provision
of health care in impoverished
communities.
Donna
Marvicsin,
Nursing
School clinical associate profes-
sor, was the recipient of the initial
grant and will serve as project
director of the new program as
well.
“This first grant resulted with
a wonderful partnership with
CHASS that then — because we
had this community relationship,
we had the trust — it allowed us
then to be in the position to get the
second grant,” she said.
The grant’s first goal is to
facilitate training for CHASS
employees with University profes-
sionals. Though Marvicsin said
no University hospital nurses will
participate in the program, under-
graduate Nursing students will
have the opportunity to gain clini-
cal experience at CHASS.
Marvicsin said the Nursing
School will act as a consultant for
CHASS, to ensure the new train-
ing is properly completed and
efficient communication occurs
between patients and their prima-
ry caregivers.
“In a primary care clinic, it’s
just so busy, it’s hard to start new
programs and make sure they’re
sustained,” she said.
Marvicsin said communication
training is vital for an interdisci-
plinary team.
“What they find with teams is
usually interprofessional work-
ers have different ways of com-
munication and different culture
within health care providers,”
she said. “We’re going to make
sure that everyone is trained with
cross interprofessional cultures
and communication for successful
teamwork.”
The program includes training
in communication skills, decision
making, care coordination and
problem solving.
The second part of the program
includes work with IT profes-
sionals. The aim is to ensure all
patients’ health care information
is documented properly in elec-
tronic health records.
The grant also aspires to help
patients whose chronic conditions
require frequent visits to health
care professionals, in cases where
health care professionals require
the details of their patients’ cases
before they even enter the clinic.
“These are patients who are
established, they have diabetes,
they have hypertension, they have
high cholesterol. So they’re known
to the clinic and they’re followed
closely,” she said.

JAKE MOYER
Friends from frisbee
Kinesiology junior Jake
Moyer calls himself an unof-
ficial leader of one of the
University’s less publicized
sports: Ultimate Frisbee. He
plays for MagnUM, a team
that consists of more than 30
members who come together
to play in a handful of tour-
naments each fall.
What exactly is Ultimate
Frisbee?
I didn’t even know when
I got to school, because I’d
never played before. At the
collegiate level, it’s 7 v 7. At
the beginning of each point,
there’s an offense and a
defense. The purpose is to get
the Frisbee into the opposite
end zone by passing it up the
field.
What is your role on the
team?
I’m a third-year player, so
my role has gotten bigger. I’m
one of the unofficial leaders
on the team. I’m definitely
expected to perform on the
field athletically, and even
off the field, I’ve been really
involved with putting togeth-
er our apparel orders and a lot
of behind-the-scenes things,
too.
How did you get involved
with the team?
I was walking through Fes-
tifall my freshman year and …
one of the guys made eye con-
tact with me, and handed me
a flier. I saw that the tryouts
were the next day, so I talked
to my twin, Bobby, about it
and we decided to do it.
What is the best part
about playing for the Ulti-
mate Frisbee team?
Those are my best friends
that I’ve made here at
school. It kinda just fell in
my lap, and they’re really
awesome people. I live with
them, and hang out with
them. The best part about
it is building those friend-
ships.

Panelists consider
racial bias in the
U.S. criminal
justice system
By MAYA KALMAN
Daily Staff Reporter
After more than a year of
national protests calling for an
end to police brutality, Matthew
Lassiter, an associate history
professor, decided University stu-
dents might be interested in
learning more about criminal jus-
tice issues in the United States.
“I think there are a lot of under-
graduate students and graduate
students who have gotten really
involved and really interested
in the history of mass incarcera-
tion … so I wanted to bring in two
scholars who have written a lot
about this topic,” he said.
On Monday, Lassiter moder-
ated a discussion between guest
panelists Donna Murch, associ-
ate professor of history at Rut-
gers University, and Heather
Ann Thompson, professor of
Afroamerican and African Stud-
ies, to discuss these issues in
depth.
Sponsored by the Metropolitan
History Workshop, the Depart-
ment of Afroamerican and Afri-
can Studies, and the Program in
Race, Law and History, the event
drew about 80 undergraduates,
graduate students and faculty
members.
Both Murch and Thompson
are leading historians on topics
such as race, incarceration, black
power, civil rights, criminal jus-
tice and the war on drugs, and
both have forthcoming books on
these topics.
One important topic discussed
was the difference between mass
incarceration and the carceral
state. Murch said the carceral
state “entails multiple forms of
surveillance, control and confine-
ment … the carceral has to do with
when state institutions take on a
punishing function.”
“Mass incarceration is the
symptom. The carceral state is
the cause,” Thompson said. “We’ll
have a carceral state even if we let
a million and a half people out of
prison and we go back to levels of
1970.”
The discussion also explored
the rise of juvenile incarceration,
and who is responsible for the
policies that encouraged these
incarceration trends, as well as
mass incarceration.
The issue of mass incarcera-
tion is polarizing: some say it’s a
result of policy shift in the 1960s
and 1970s, while others say it’s
due to a longstanding tradition
of imprisonment. Some camps of
social scientists argue the trend is
a result of de-industrialization or
under-policing of Black neighbor-
hoods.
The event began with a short
lecture by each of the guest pan-
elists. Murch, who is considered a
pioneer in the study of mass incar-
ceration through a historical lens,
spoke about the development of of
research on the carceral state.
She said the group of histori-
ans working on the topic is very
small, and research has been lim-
ited until very recently due to bias
against the subjects of research,
