	U of M’s ‘blue’ adds a shade of green to patrols Call them the “green police.” In keeping with the University’s “green theme,” the U of M’s campus police department has a new look, which is already amounting to savings in more ways than one.

	AUSP joins Nursing School on mission trip to Caribbean Dr. Lawrette Axley’s far-reaching mission trip to the Dominican Republic each semester has grown even larger: the School of Audiology and Speech- Language Pathology joined them during spring break to provide much-needed assistance to a school for deaf, impoverished children.
