institutions 
— 
regardless 
of 

whether they were pursuing a 
teaching career.

“Something that we noticed 

in that class (Schooling in a 
Multi-Cultural Society) is that 50 

percent of the students who take 
that class go on to be teachers, 
which is fantastic,” Goldin said. 
“The other 50 percent kept 
speaking in very similar ways; 
even though it was across 10 
years, even though they were not 
standing next to each other, they 
were saying very similar things. 
The things they were saying 

evoked a real hunger. What they 
were saying is, ‘I’m committed to 
social justice, I’m really deeply 
interested in the ways in which 
schools can be a force for justice 
in society.’”

The minor is made up of 

one 
foundation 
class, 
three 

electives, 
a 
field 
internship 

and a final capstone course. 

After completing the initial 
foundation course, students 
have the chance to select 
one of three pathways on 
which to focus: Children 
and 
Youth 
in 
Context: 

Culture, 
Communities 

and Education; Advancing 
Equity through Education 
Policy; and Education in a 
Global Context. There is 
also an option for students to 
create their own pathway.

Goldin said the goal of 

establishing 
pathways 
is 

to ensure students’ gained 
expertise in one particular 
area.

“The reason we have 

these discrete and coherent 
pathways is because we 
want student to have some 
depth and some mastery,” 
Goldin said. “It’s wonderful 
to take something here and 
take something there, but we 
wanted at the end for people 
to say, ‘In these 15 credits, I 
have learned how to do this, I 
have learned about that, and 
now I’m equipped to do this 
great work.’”

Goldin 
also 
reiterated 

Tolontan’s 
earlier 
sentiments 

about the applicability of the 
minor because it emphasizes 
pervasive issues like teaching 
and learning.

“If 
you 
live 
inside 
of 

this 
society, 
then 
thinking 

systematically about schools is 
critical,” Goldin said. “No matter 
what profession you’re going to 
be in, there are so many ways 
– by necessity –you’re going to 
have to think about teaching and 
learning.”

Maternowski added he felt 

the minor presents a way for 
students to explore the world of 
education without commitment.

“It brings the School of 

Education more into the rest of 
the University because often it’s 
like Engineering classes – you’re 
not going to take an engineering 
class if you’re in LSA – and I think 
for the longest time you weren’t 
going to take an education class if 
you were in LSA,” Maternowski 
said. “Now this is kind of like 
there’s a way to dabble in 
education without going through 
all sorts of loopholes.”

While many schools have 

already accepted the minor — the 
most recent being the School of 
Public Health — the College of 
Engineering has yet to follow.

Nevertheless, Tolontan has 

already started taking classes to 
fulfill its requirements. 

UNIVE R SIT Y SYMPHONY ORCHESTR A

While 
many 
University 

business students have come to 
rely heavily upon the schools 
Starbucks for their caffeine 
needs, an institute at the Ross 
School of Business has invested 
in a healthy, energy-boosting 
alternative.

On Tuesday, the Zell Lurie 

Institute 
at 
the 
Business 

School announced a $100,000 
investment from its Founders 
Fund 
into 
organic 
snack 

company SMPL.

The funds will used for 

expanded 
distribution 
and 

marketing efforts.

SMPL sells bite-sized organic 

protein bars in three flavors. 
The snacks incorporate organic 
fruits, 
nuts 
and 
superfoods 

in resealable bags tailored to 
on-the-go consumption. SMPL’s 
target market is busy, modern 
wellness consumers.

According to a press release, 

University alum Ellis Fried 
founded the company to replace 
the 
existing 
unhealthy 
or 

inconvenient energy bars.

“I founded SMPL out of my 

personal dissatisfaction with 
the energy bars on the market 
— they were either filled with 
sugar, didn’t deliver on taste, or I 
never wanted to finish the entire 
bar at once,” Fried said.

During 
his 
time 
at 
the 

University, 
Fried 
earned 

more than $17,000 in the 2017 
Michigan Business Challenge 
and won the Ross School of 
Business BBA Entrepreneur of 
the Year Award. 

Stewart Thornhill, executive 

Director of the Zell Lurie 
Institute, said in the press 
release Fried has shown strong 
potential as an entrepreneur 
since his undergraduate years.

“Ellis 
has 
shown 
great 

initiative and promise as an 
entrepreneur, and we’re proud 
to have supported him at every 
step of the journey. We’re 
committed to helping him on 
his mission to make healthy 
eating convenient, and we look 
forward to his future successes,” 
Thornhill said.

According to Michigan 
Medicine spokeswoman 
Mary Masson, the 
organization offered the 
nurses raises of at least 3 
percent. Masson also said 
the nurse-to-patient ratio is 
in the top 2 percent in the 
nation.

The budget for the project 
is $150 million and would 
encompass a space that is 
200,000 square feet. The 
funds will come from 
investment proceeds, gifts 
and the Student Life 
Student Fee for Facility 
Renewal. The proposed 
renovations come on the 
heels of a $13 million 
overhaul of the North 
Campus Recreation 
Building, recently reopened 
this year.

According to Zhang, a 
Kinesiology graduate 
student, individuals burn 
191 calories an hour while 
walking at a 
one-mile-per-hour pace, as 
opposed to 72 calories 
sitting.

In both the 2014 and 2010 
midterm elections, 
however, voter turnout in 
Michigan was above the 
national averages of 37.8 
and 36.3 percent, respec-
tively. Voter turnout rates 
for the 2018 primary rose 
from 2014 levels, however, 
indicating turnout may 
increase come November.

The University of Michigan 
Board of Regents 
announced a 3.5 percent 
increase in University 
President Mark Schlissel’s 
annual salary as part of the 
president’s yearly evalua-
tion. This is the president's 
fourth pay raise, and brings 
his pay from $820,000 to 
over $850,000...His 
starting salary upon hiring 
in 2014 was $750,000.

This announcement comes 
two weeks after the release of 
Office for Institutional Equity’s 
yearly Sexual Misconduct 
Report which reported an 
increase in sexual misconduct 
reports but a decrease in 
investigations launched by the 
University compared to 
previous data. According to 
the publication, reports went 
up from 218 to 277 while 
investigations went down 
from 28 the previous year to 
20.
