Board of Trustees to meet during winter break

The Board of Trustees will hold its monthly public meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 26 at 7 p.m. in the Morris Lawrence Building during the winter break.

Last the month, the meeting had been cancelled due to inclement weather conditions.

 

Baseball and softball tryouts

Men’s baseball tryouts will be held Tuesday, Mar. 5 and Thursday, Mar. 7 from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Play at the Cage, located at 1950 Holmes Rd. in Ypsilanti.

Women’s softball tryouts will also be held at the same time and location.

 

WCC to receive grant

At an event at Eastern Michigan University on February 4, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell announced WCC will be receiving a grant from the federal government.

 

Parking lot closure

A southwest portion of Parking Lot 2 near the Morris Lawrence Building will be closed from Mar. 4 to Jun. 3 to allow contactors to stage equipment and materials for work on the building.

 

Corrections

A story entitled “Locally grown organic food is a good bet” in the Feb. 11 issue contained a mathematical error, which mistakingly reported global population growth between 1950 and 2015 represented a nearly 36 percent increase. The story should have reported the increase to have been more than 280 percent.
