The partnership will see Walgreens prioritizing Cedarville University students for jobs and internships.

The announcement represents an expansion of a longstanding partnership between the university and Akron Public Schools.

The grant was awarded to Dr. Michelle Seegert by the National Association of Chain Drug Stores Foundation to introduce students to pharmacy careers in a fun and innovative way.

The $3.3 million grant comes from The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and was awarded to Hong-Sheng Wang, PhD.

SNC is an aerospace and defense company, and its partnership with the university will launch the SNC-Sinclair Academy.

The endowment will provide funding for students who are experiencing unexpected or emergency setbacks that may be barriers to continuing their education. The fund is in honor of retiring president Dr. Jo Alice Blondin, whose tenure is ending after 13 years.

Pandora Neuhart was a member of the Belmont College Board of Trustees for 12 years. Her friends and family have honored her legacy by providing funding for the new scholarship.

The grant will fund the launch of the college’s new GRACE initiative (Growing through Respectful and Civil Exchange).

The initiative is an effort of the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO), the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP), and the Michigan Community College Association (MCCA).

The partnership aims to promote conservation efforts and education among students and the wider campus community.
