Western Michigan University news and update highlights for April 4 - 10, 2014. This week's campus photo features the Fetzer Center. Located near Schneider Hall (home of the Haworth College of Business), the center hosts conferences, seminars, meetings, and offers beautiful spaces for wedding ceremonies and receptions. 

Dedicated in 1983, the John E. Fetzer Center was named for the former Detroit Tigers and owner of WKZO radio and tv stations. Fetzer pledged $1 million to WMU for business center on campus and was onsite to break ground in 1981.
