Summer Semester Is Underway

An image of students studying on campus in good weather.

Today (May 15), we welcomed students back to begin the Summer 2012 Semester at Ferris State University. It's great to have students back on campus continuing their education and, we hope, enjoying the weather outdoors in Big Rapids in between classes and studying.

Best wishes for a great summer semester.
