The College of Arts and Sciences is celebrating this anniversary by creating the Mark Jefferson Student Travel Fund, which will fund competitive awards supporting travel by undergraduate students. It is fitting to name this award for Mark Jefferson since he was an enthusiastic traveler who encouraged his students to be curious and to seize every opportunity for travel and exploration. EMU will hold a fundraising reception on Thursday, October 17 at the Ypsilanti Freighthouse in Depot Town, the point of departure for Jefferson’s many journeys.
