Included in the tool is access to PolicyMap’s extensive data collection, with 15,000+ indicators used to understand communities, organized into general categories including demographics, income and spending, housing, lending activity, quality of life, economy, education, health, federal guidelines, and other analysis. In addition, students and faculty can easily upload and incorporate their data into and leverage it against the thousands of indicators already available in PolicyMap.

From Friday March 31st through Friday June 2, 2017 Kresge Library Services will be hosting our 6th annual food drive for Washtenaw County food banks.  Each year during our food drives,  we have collected over 50 boxes of food thanks to the generosity of the Ross Community.  Donations include: 

• Non-perishable food products 
•  Contained in factory-sealed containers
• Currently not expired products
• Not in glass containers (most food banks avoid these as they can break in transit)
• Sealed, non used personal products (razors, tooth paste, diapers, shampoo, soap etc)

Please drop off donations on the Kresge Library Services suite (K4521) on the 4th floor of Kresge Hall, or at the front desk in the Winter Garden.
