The $1 million gift comes from John and Michele Donley and will be split into three separate endowments. The Donleys have also pledged to match any additional donations to the endowments up to $500,000.

The machine is property of Eagle Nutrition Services at Eastern Michigan University and is available to students, staff, and the general community for information about their body composition measurements.

The Joseph J. Zimmerman ’61 Endowed Chair in English has been named in honor of Zimmerman, an alumnus and benefactor of the college.

The Career Mentorship and Placement Office provides students with assistance to meet their career goals and helps to prepare them for life after graduation.

The partnership aims to help students stay in school and succeed in their education by helping to address access to their basic needs, including food, housing, and childcare.
