Martin Luther King 

Jr. Spirit Awards 
given to students 
and organizations

By LYDIA MURRAY

Daily Staff Reporter

Twelve students and two student 

organizations 
were 
honored 

Thursday night at the MLK Spirit 

Awards in the Arthur Miller 
Theatre for their contributions 
to both the campus and Detroit 
area communities, as well as for 
exemplifying the legacy of Martin 
Luther King Jr.

The event was organized in a 

combined effort by the School of Art 
& Design, School of Music, Theatre 
& Dance, the College of Engineering 
and Agents for Change, an art 
exhibition promoting diversity on 
North Campus.

The MLK Spirit Awards have 

existed for many years on campus, 
but it was not until several years ago 
that the ceremony was formalized. 
Dean 
of 
Engineering 
David 

Munson said when he started at 
the University in 2006 the North 
Campus community did little to 
promote Martin Luther King Jr. 
Day, with the MLK Spirit Awards 
at that time consisting of a lunch 
between the nominated students 
and the North Campus deans.

Munson said the purpose of 

the formal ceremony instituted in 

recent years for the awards was to 
recognize the work students have 
done to promote diversity on North 
Campus.

“The whole point is to get the 

whole North Campus community 
together and recognize some of our 
students and all of their great work 
related to diversity, inclusion and 
equity,” he said.

Taubman graduate student Ryan 

Goold, one of the award winners, 
said he was shocked and very

The University of Michigan 

Health System has partnered 
with CVS to enhance access to 
health care. Starting in January, 
UMHS and CVS will begin 
utilizing 
a 
communication 

pathway 
between 
their 

respective 
electronic 
health 

record systems to allow for 
better coordination of health 
services.

Hae 
Mi 
Choe, 
director 

of pharmacy innovations at 
University 
Medical 
Group, 

said because UMHS and CVS 
use electronic health record 
systems provided by the vendor 
Epic, they have the ability to 
share information with each 
other via the Electronic Health 

Records.

Choe 
emphasized 
the 

security and safety of the 
new 
connection 
between 

the respective groups in an 
interview, as well as the benefits 
that patients will gain from this 
new collaboration.

“This functionality exists 

with any organization that 
uses Epic, and both parties will 
comply with all state and federal 
laws governing confidentiality 
and 
disclosure 
of 
patient 

information,” she said.

CVS Health has more than 

9,500 retail pharmacy locations 
nationwide 
and 
over 
1,100 

walk-in medical clinics at the 
pharmacy 
locations 
called 

MinuteClinics. 
MinuteClinics 

are open seven days a week and 
are staffed primarily by nurse 
practitioners 
and 
physician 

assistants 
to 
administer 

wellness 
and 
prevention 

services, treat for common 
illnesses and monitor patients 
with chronic diseases.

The collaboration between 

Speakers 

highlight need 
for more young 

talent

DETROIT — Dr. David 

Satcher — former surgeon 
general of the United States 
and assistant secretary for 
health — spoke in Detroit to 
members and supporters of 
the city’s Urban Research 
Center on the future of public 
health and the impact young 
adults can have in the field 
Thursday.

“I can’t stop thinking about 

tomorrow, just can’t stop 
thinking about tomorrow,” 
Satcher said, in reference to 
the popular Fleetwood Mac 
tune.

The Detroit URC, which 

partners with the University’s 
schools of Nursing, Public 
Health and Social Work, 
held its 20th anniversary 
symposium, titled “Advancing 
Partnerships, Research, & 
Equity in Detroit” at the 
Crowne 
Plaza 
Hotel 
in 

downtown Detroit Thursday 
morning.

Adhering 
closely 
to 
a 

theme of fostering leadership 
among 
today’s 
youth, 

Satcher emphasized what he 
identified as his number one 
concern for the future of the 
public health field: lack of 
young talent in the field.

“We’re not seeing enough 

young leaders emerging,” he 

told the audience. “Who is 
going to be doing this 10 years 
from now? Twenty years 
from now? Degrees don’t 
necessarily make leaders; we 
need people who are inspired 
and motivated to lead.”

As 
director 
of 
the 

Centers for Disease Control 
and 
Prevention 
in 
1995, 

Satcher 
was 
instrumental 

in the establishment of the 
organization. The symposium 
was as much a celebration 
of the Detroit URC’s 20 
years of commitment to the 
promotion of community-
based participatory research 
and health equity as it was an 
ode to Satcher’s life work in 
the field of public health.

Satcher went on to pose a 

challenge to the young people 
in attendance: Be continually 
learning about public health 
issues 
to 
help 
prevent 

nationwide crises, such as the 
Flint water crisis, where city 
tap water was contaminated 
with toxic levels of lead.

“There will be crises of 

leadership and we won’t be 
there,” he said. “We need 
young people to take up the 
helm, to tackle urban health 
problems like the one in Flint, 
Michigan. We need to realize 
what it takes for everyone to 
have the opportunity to lead a 
healthy life.”

He was honored with 

plaques 
both 
by 
the 

organization 
and 
Isaiah 

McKinnon, deputy mayor of 
Detroit, standing in for Mayor 
Mike Duggan who was unable 
to attend.

Admissions officers 

nationwide using 

social media more in 
application process

By MEGAN DOYLE

Daily Staff Reporter

If you’re applying to college, 

there’s now a good chance your 
Facebook page could be a factor in 
admission decisions.

A record high of 40 percent 

of college admissions officers in 
the 
nation 
acknowledged 
their 

admissions staff visit applicants’ 
social media pages to learn more 
about them in a 2015 Kaplan survey 
— a 300 percent increase from 2008.

The 
University’s 
admissions 

office was unresponsive to multiple 
requests for comment on if the 
office utilizes prospective students’ 
social media accounts. Evaluative 
comments 
observed 
on 
nine 

applications in August did not have 
any mention of social media.

The 2015 survey that interviewed 

nearly 
400 
college 
admissions 

officers, however, found that overall 
colleges are looking at applicants’ 
social media more than ever.

Despite the increase of attention 

admissions 
officers 
pay 
to 

prospective students’ online profiles, 
the report found 89 percent of officers 
only “rarely” look, and usually do so 
after being “triggered” by something 
in their application.

Triggers can be both positive and 

 One year after ski 
trip vandalism, new 
initiatives begin to 

be implemented

By LARA MOEHLMAN

One year after vandalism and 

destruction at multiple Northern 
Michigan ski resorts involving four 
University fraternities and sororities 
last winter garnered intense media, 
legal and University scrutiny, both 
Greek life and the larger campus 
community have undergone several 
changes in response.

In February 2015, the University 

announced it would no longer 
affiliate with the Sigma Alpha Mu 
chapter on campus for causing 
roughly $430,000 in damage to a 
ceiling tiles, furniture and carpeting 
in several rooms at the Treetops 
Resort in Gaylord during a Martin 
Luther King Jr. weekend ski trip.

The international board of SAM 

revoked 
the 
chapter’s 
charter 

following the refusal of fraternity 
members to cooperate in a criminal 
investigation, and members lost 
their campus house. Also present at 
the ski trip last year was University 
sorority Sigma Delta Tau, who were 
suspended by the University until 
2017.

The same weekend, Pi Kappa 

Alpha, Chi Psi, Alpha Phi and 
Delta Gamma caused damage to a 
lesser extent to Boyne Highlands 
in Harbor Springs, Mich. and have 
faced University sanctions, though 
their actions didn’t generate the 
same amount of media scrutiny. The
