The
University
of
Michigan
was
ranked
among the nation’s top three
schools for undergraduate
entrepreneurship
opportunities and sixth for
graduate
entrepreneurship
by
The
Princeton
Review
in
a
November
release.
Only Babson University in
Massachusetts and Brigham
Young
University
in
Utah
surpassed the University on the
undergraduate list.
The annual rankings take
into consideration business and
entrepreneurship
academic
programs available to students,
student-to-faculty
ratio,
alumni
entrepreneurship
ventures, student-led programs
and community support for
entrepreneurial ventures.
Formal
entrepreneurship
education
opportunities
at
the University date back to
1999 with the creation of
the Zell Lurie Institute, an
entrepreneurship and venture
capital-focused
institute
housed at the Ross School of
Business.
In 2015, the Zell Family
Foundation
donated
$60
million
to
the
Zell
Lurie
Institute.

the
Michigan
Foreign Policy Council held
its inaugural conference in
the Rackham Amphitheatre,
presenting the research club
members conducted over the
course of the semester to 30
audience members. Students
discussed
the
effects
of
government
stability
on
humanitarian
intervention,
the
success
of
antibiotic
stewardship programs and
the impacts of public opinion
on the 2015 Paris climate
agreement.
All of the research was
published in a new academic
journal
titled
Michigan
Foreign Policy Review.
LSA
senior
Evan
Viau,
club president and founder,
said he was impressed with
the club members’ research
throughout
the
semester
and how they were able to
put it together for this final
presentation.
“I couldn’t be more proud
of everyone,” Viau said. “This
being our first semester, there
were a lot of roadblocks. The
level of work that we were able
to put in our first semester
and the level of work that our
first and second year students
were able to achieve — I’m
impressed, I’m floored.”
LSA
sophomore
Nicole
Dean,
who
studied
the
effectiveness
of
antibiotic
stewardship
programs,
echoed Viau’s statement.
“It felt really good to show
everyone how much work we
put into this research,” she
said. “I was excited to share it
with everyone else.”
Dean’s research revolved
around
finding
the
best
approach to the health issues
caused
by
antimicrobial
resistance
when
microbes
resist medications previously
used to treat them. She and
her fellow group members
explored
how
the
rates
of
AMR
changed
when
stewardship programs were
implemented.
Despite the positive end
product of the research, LSA
freshman Daniel Evans, who
looked at public opinion’s
impact on the Paris climate
agreement, said there were
some challenges.
“It
was
very
time
intensive,” he said. “Given
that it’s my first semester
here, it’s my first exposure
to more rigorous research,
which I think is fun and
rewarding, but it definitely
took some time.”
Viau also noted he was
The Michigan football team
is headed to a New Year’s Six
bowl — just not one it was
hoping for a couple of weeks
ago.
The
Wolverines
(7-2
Big
Ten, 10-2 overall), ranked sixth
in the final College Football
Playoff
rankings
released
Sunday, announced today that
they have accepted a bid to play
in the Orange Bowl on Dec. 30
in Miami Gardens, Fla. They
will play their 45th all-time
bowl game against Florida State
(5-3 Atlantic Coast Conference,
9-3 overall).
Michigan, ranked in the top
four for most of the season, fell
in the CFP rankings last week
after losing at Ohio State on
Nov. 26. Without a game this
weekend, the Wolverines stayed
on the outside of the playoff
as other teams secured their
spots. No. 1 and Southeastern
Conference champion Alabama
will play No. 4 and Pac-12
champion Washington, and No.
2 and ACC champion Clemson
will play No. 3 Ohio State.

Michigan Supreme Court Justice Richard Bernstein, the first blind justice to ever serve on the court, presents on the value of inclusion at Michigan Hillel Sunday.
Richard Bernstein, Michigan

on the importance of inclusion
Sunday at the University of
Michigan Hillel as part of the

Bernstein
graduated
from

University’s
School of Law. He practiced
law alongside his brother Mark
Bernstein — a University regent

The Sam Bernstein Law Firm

Supreme Court in 2014.
LSA
junior
Sarah
Parkes,
Hillel’s
social
action
cohort
chair, said she invited Bernstein,
who has been blind since birth, to
speak because she felt his voice
was one the community needed
to hear.
“We
are
an
inclusive
environment (where) everyone
should feel comfortable and we
feel like he has a lot to say about
that,” Parkes said. “We’re having
a tumultuous time on campus
right now, and we’re looking for a
way to promote inclusivity and a
