$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.

IN PE R SPECTIVE 

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,
