The primary foci of our Outreach Program are K-12 educators and students, higher education faculty and students, the media (through our Africa Media Program), and study abroad in Africa (through MSU programs and the National Consortium for Study in Africa). Upon request, our Program also provides advice and service to other constituencies. Business Community: The Center has consulted with the State of Michigan International Business development Office in establishing Michigan trade offices in Lagos, Harare, and most recently, Johannesburg. In addition, the Outreach Program cooperates with the MSU Center for International Business, Education, and Research (CIBER) in their service to Michigan businesses. MSU/CIBER website , also see the Regional/Country Specific Information (Africa) Government: The Outreach Program seeks to provide assistance and respond to African initiatives at the local, state and federal levels in the United States.

For example, the Program has worked with Church World Service/CROP to develop educational materials on hunger issues in Africa.

REVISED A Guide to Native American Studies Programs in the United States and Canada Robert M. Nelson, Editor Eight years ago, in the Fall of 1993, the Association for the Study of American Literatures published a 30-page guide to Native American Studies programs in the U.S., compiled and edited by former ASAIL President Franchot Ballinger. This new Guide to Native American Studies Programs in the United States and Canada represents an attempt to update and expand upon Professor Ballinger's pioneering work. In accordance with a 1995 ASAIL resolution, it is being published both in hardcopy form and in electronic form, so as to be available not only to ASAIL members but also to non-members, compliments of the Association. I wish to take this opportunity to acknowledge the invaluable assistance of two SAIL Editorial Assistants, Amy Davidson (1995-96) and Corrie Anderson (1996-97), who in addition to their other duties put in many hours of overtime gathering and regathering, collating and recollating information from a variety of sources including questionnaires, follow-up letters and phone calls, and worldwide websites. Thanks also to Karen Strom at University of Massachusetts, who read the final draft of this guide and provided or corrected many of the URL addresses for program websites. Our dream was to provide a comprehensive survey of U.S. and Canadian Native American Studies programs being offered as majors, minors, and certifications at the baccalaureate level or above, using (with some slight modifications and additions) Professor Ballinger's earlier categories of information on each program. And although we have made a considerable effort to locate, contact, and acquire information about Native American Studies programs (by whatever title: Native American Studies and American Indian Studies are the most common designations, though there are others) at all North American baccalaureate-granting institutions, readers should keep in mind that the

The mandates states in part that the County Board of Commissioners shall examine the assessment rolls of the townships and cities each year and ascertain whether each class of real and personal property in the respective township or city has been equally and uniformly assessed at an average level of 50% of true cash value. The General Property Tax Act goes on to state that the Board of Commissioners of a county shall establish and maintain a department to survey assessments and assist the board of commissioners in the matter of equalization of assessments. The department also furnishes assistance to local assessing officers in the performance of their duties. This includes development and maintenance of accurate property descriptions, the discovery, listing, and valuation of properties for tax purposes and the determination and use of uniform valuation standards and techniques for the assessment of property.

Preservation Architecture Adaptive Reuse Strategic Main Street Master Planning Master Planning ... Engineering Once thought to be the practice of simply cleaning up old buildings to make them into museums, preservation architecture is now recognized as a means of retaining our heritage, revitalizing our communities, and conserving existing built resources. By restoring and renovating existing buildings, owners and developers are learning the value of maintaining a historic building’s architectural character while improving it to meet contemporary technological and capacity demands. Our full-service preservation architecture offerings, together with five federally-qualified historical architects, include urban design, preservation planning, existing conditions analysis, full architectural and engineering services, decorative painting analysis, and material conservation analysis. The rehabilitation and reuse of historic properties presents two important opportunities to our society: 1) The preservation of our history as told through our buildings and 2) The conservation of the energy embodied in those buildings. SmithGroup views the reuse of historic properties as an exciting opportunity for innovative design expression featuring sensitive contemporary elements in juxtaposition with carefully restored historical fabric. The end goal is a revitalized historic property - ready to serve the needs of future generations while telling the story of past generations.
