The partnership between the three universities and Owens Community College will expand transfer pathways and provide more opportunities for students.

The completely online bachelor degree program is expected to launch in the Fall 2026 semester.

The partnership will bring Grand Valley State University to the Detroit area for workforce development, youth initiatives, and hands-on experiences in Michigan Central’s 30-acre technology and innovation hub to bring start-ups and companies together to solve problems.

Students in Calvin University’s wildlife biology and animal husbandry programs will care for baby spotted turtles, which are an endangered species, and “head-start” them, so they can be released into the wild when they are bigger.

In the most recent of many gifts provided by the Kiwanis Club of Ann Arbor to Washtenaw Community College, the nonprofit organization gave its largest donation to the college to date.
