Formation of the Michigan Research Libraries Triangle consortium in 1991 served to bring the education librarians of Michigan State University, the University of Michigan and Wayne State University into a working relationship. The education programs at each institution have unique histories shaped by demographic, political and economic forces. The evolution of the programs profoundly influenced the physical and philosophical development of the education libraries at each institution and the education librarians have based their cooperation on the historic roles and unique strengths of each library 's collection. The level of activity and opportunityfor cooperation has fluctuated over the years due to institutional changes.

The year 2014 was absolutely devastating for me professionally and personally; I was denied tenure and I lost both my maternal and paternal grandmothers. Reflecting back on that time in my life, I am certain that I would not have been able to survive the experience without the support of my close family and friends. I truly believe that the story of my journey will help others experiencing difficult challenges in their careers. After graduating from Henry Ford High School in Detroit, MI, in 1988, I enrolled at Highland Park Community College (HPCC) in nearby Highland Park. My mother was working as a secretary in the nursing department at the time, so I was able to take advantage of the tuition benefit offered to the college’s employees. I enrolled in a chemistry course for non-science majors, which I absolutely loved! Needless to say, after earning my associate’s degree in 1990, I decided to pursue chemistry as a major. I enrolled at the University of Michigan-Dearborn and attended two semesters before transferring to Wayne State University (WSU), in Detroit. My experiences as an undergraduate chemistry major at WSU led me on the path to pursue a doctorate in chemistry. In the fall of 1992, I was awarded an NIH-MARC (National Institutes of Health-Minority Access to Research Careers) Fellowship. This fellowship provided me not only funding support, but hands-on research training in the laboratory of Professor Regina Zibuck, a synthetic organic chemist. The environment in the Zibuck laboratory was very supportive and due to this mentoring experience, I wanted to earn a doctorate in chemistry. As a MARC Fellow, I was engaged in research and presented a poster on my research efforts at a national conference for the first time. Thus, I was developing fundamental laboratory and communication skills as an undergraduate researcher. Also during this time at WSU, I became involved in the WSU-NOBCChE chapter, where I found a supportive network of African American students pursuing undergraduate degrees in chemistry. The chapter adviser was Dr. Keith Williams, Director of Minority Student Initiatives in the chemistry department.

Postgraduate Courses—AAP The first two of a series of postgraduate courses being sponsored by the American Academy of Pediatrics will be held at the University of Michigan Medical Center, Ann Arbor, Michigan, March 2, 3, 4, and 5, 1959; and at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee, on March 17, 18, and 19, 1959. Tuition for these courses is $50 and $40, respectively, for Academy members. Fees for nonmembers will be $70 and $60, respectively. These courses will both be organized so that each day will be devoted to papers and discussions on a different pediatric problem. At the University of Michigan, Dr. James Wilson and the pediatric staff will be hosts, as well as part of the faculty for the course. Other speakers will include members of other departments and the guest speakers, Dr. Warren Wheeler, Professor of Pediatrics and Bacteriology, Ohio State University Medical School, and Dr. Frederick C. Robbins, Director, Department of Pediatrics and Contagious Diseases, Cleveland City Hospital.
