Michigan State University is providing resources and expert advice to give students the entrepreneurial experience at an early age. Along with the minor in entrepreneurship that is available at MSU, in August of 2015 the campus also started its first entrepreneurial program which is almost a shoulder for students to lean on and it helps students pursue their innovative goals. The program is directed by the serial entrepreneur Neil Kane , who mentors aspiring entrepreneurs and has had 12 start-up businesses of his own. Other support programs that MSU offers for young innovators are The Hatch and Spartan Innovation . MSU's entrepreneurial program is open to all majors and the skills that are introduced to students are said to benefit any field immensely.

After DEPSA's girl basketball team won a state title of their own last Saturday, the boys plan to do the same after the defeat of Monroe St. Mary's Catholic Central for the advancement of their first state semifinal in school history . Both of these teams have something to prove today with the Beecher Bucs going for the 3peat they lost their chances at in 2014 and the Detroit Pioneers making history in attempt to bring home their first state championship.
