Romulus High School faculty
member Linda Denham, and
Romulus High School alumna
Addell Austin-Anderson, class of
'74, were honored recently with
the Robert Koonce award at the
University of Michigan Ross
School of Business.
Students, parents, guests and
University of Michigan faculty
gathered at the prestigious
school to celebrate the comple-
tion of the MREACH (Michigan
Ross School of Business
Enriching Academics in
Collaboration with High
Schools) program this year and
honor both Denham and Austin-
Anderson.
MREACH is a program that
provides career enrichment,
academic preparation, and
hands-on business activities for
underrepresented groups,
including first-generation col-
lege-bound students, and stu-
dents from lower socioeconomic
standing. Founded in 2006,
MREACH brings Michigan high
school students to Ross for a
series of active learning experi-
ences focused on the fundamen-
tals of business and also offers
insight into the college planning
process and careers in business.
Romulus High School students
have been involved in MREACH
since September 2013. This
year, the 2015-2016 senior partic-
ipants, Kenneth Gajefski,
Rayshon Akins, Kingsley
Enechukwu, Linda Denham,
Diante' Hill, Adrian Maloy, Nia
Pittman, a junior, and Johnny
Toliver were recognized for suc-
cessfully completing the selec-
tive program.
Enechukwu received a stand-
ing ovation from the audience
for being named a 2016 Gates
Millennium Scholar as he
received his MREACH certifi-
cate. Several students spoke
about how much they enjoyed
the MREACH experience,
including
Maloy
and
Enechukwu.
“MREACH has provided me
with a perspective that can't be
taught, explained or imagined,
only experienced,” Maloy said.
The program affords students
the opportunity to learn about
different aspects of business,
explore possible careers, net-
work with business profession-
als at a variety of corporations
and make meaningful and last-
ing friendships.
The Robert Koonce award,
named for the founder of
MREACH who died unexpect-
edly in 2009, recognizes individ-
uals, who have been strong advo-
cates of the MREACH program
and tireless supporters and
mentors to students.
Award recipient Denham is
the
Speech-Language
Pathologist at Romulus High
School. She has spearheaded
the school involvement in
MREACH since 2013. Denham,
is an alumna of The University
of Michigan Ann Arbor.
Denham's volunteer experi-
ences at Romulus High School
include: Liaison for Junior
Achievement of Southeastern
Michigan, Inc. since its inception
in September 2010; Liaison for
the Michigan Ross Enriching
Academics in Collaborationwith
High Schools (MREACH)
Program at U-M Ross School of
Business, Ann Arbor Campus,
and Founding Member of
Scholarship Opportunities and
Alumni Resources for Romulus
High School (S.O.A.R) estab-
lished as a nonprofit organiza-
tion in April 2015 with the State
ofMichigan.
During the ceremony, it was
announced that graduating sen-
iors Hill, Enechukwu and
Toliver will be among the
MREACH participants who will
attend the University of
Michigan, Ann Arbor campus in
the fall 2016.
University of Michigan Ross
School of Business is ranked as
fourth in all national undergrad-
uate business programs, accord-
ing to US News & World
Reports, and the graduate pro-
gram is ranked as number 12 in
the country.
This year, the 2015-2016 senior MREACH participants included, from left, Kenneth Gajefski, Rayshon
Akins, Kingsley Enechukwu, Linda Denham, Diante' Hill, Adrian Maloy and Johnny Toliver. The students
were recognized for successfully completing the selective program. Nia Pittman, a junior, is not pictured.
also allow for an easier transition once
the construction is complete.
“We need a new courthouse,” said
Chief Judge Tina Brooks Green. “The
question is where is it going to be built?
Our preference is to stay in the City of
Romulus. We want to stay here-and I
think that'swhat will happen.”
The new facility will be about 45,000
square feet, compared to about 30,000
square feet at the existing structure.
Burcroff said the council would vote
on a new bond resolution this month
and would start setting aside court fees
to pay for the construction of the new
building. The bonds would be sold by
the city, but paid for by court fees-not the
city general fund or taxpayers.
“Taxes are not paying for this,” said
Tim Keyes, Romulus Economic
Development director. “This is being
fundedby theusers of the court.”
Burcroff said they would look at the
best, more economic way to construct
the court project.
“We want to look at the best options
and get the best value for what we're
going to borrow,” he said.
The city owns the old court building
andwill look at different uses for it.
“It's an asset that the city has. We're
going to spend time to review the
options of what to do with it,” Keyes
said.
