Welcome
to the Michigan NEW Non-Traditional student pages.
Support,
links, resources, and more.
Michigan
State University
has a group called O.W.L.S.
(From
the site):
O.W.L.S.
(Older and/or Wiser Law Students) We are here to support and
serve students who consider themselves non-traditional: students
older than 24, married students, part-time students, etc.
I
especially like the OWLS name. It suggests wisdom, which I believe
some people can achieve with age. I like it when groups also
include people who consider themselves non-traditional students.
This can help everyone get in that needs to be in the group.
Michigan
State University in Lansing, Michigan has a Child Care Center
for young children, the Spartan Child Development Center at
http://www.scdc.msu.edu/aboutlinks.html.
Students may apply for a Child Care scholarship. The center
is close to campus, but has a waiting list. I did not find a
non-traditional student group here.
The Michigan
Tech Nontraditional Student pages were made by an intern. They
give the definition of a non-traditional student as:
Nontraditional
students meet one or more of the following criteria:
*25 years old or older
*married and/or divorced
*has children
*a
veteran
*returning
back to school after a year or more. (from the site).
The welcome
page features a message board that requires a password. It is
a great idea for people at the school. Another page shows non-traditional
sites around the country, and they also have links to child
care in the area.
They post
a survey on the site showing interesting facts about non-traditional
students at Michigan State. M ichigan Technological University
is located in Houghton, Michigan.
WELCOME!
We are currently compiling a list for students so that everyone
will be able to join a Non-traditional student group when they
go back to school.
Please

form for a FREE listing for your Non-traditional student
group.
