Central Michigan University Alumna Chloe White ( a FMD - Fashion Merchandising & Design at Central Michigan University graduate ) has the students fired up on Day 2 of the A Beautiful Me program.

During this weeklong initiative, Central Michigan University Detroit Office — in partnership with A Beautiful Me and the CMU Charters — is hosting a transformational Summer Intensive for exiting 5th grade girls, culminating in a visit to our Mt. Pleasant campus. Throughout the program, CMU alumnae guest presenters are joining Karen Palka and her team to pour into the next generation of strong, confident young women.

Today, the Central Michigan University Detroit Office was the host site for the Faith & Blue Breakfast in partnership with the Detroit Police Department and Downtown Detroit Partnership. During this week there are similar events throughout the nation.

The Faith & Blue idea is a simple but powerful one — the ties that bind officers and residents must be reinforced if we are to build neighborhoods where everyone feels safe and included. One of the leaders of this effort at DPD is CMU Alum and Commander Michael Cadotte. Monica Edmonds and Brianna Morris were other community based alums in attendance.

As always, we appreciate Eric Larsen, Gina Cavaliere and the rest of the DPD Team for always being at the forefront of such great work in downtown Detroit.
