This editorial lauds a new partnership between Oakland University and St. John Hospital System that matches nursing students with a training facility in the St John system. The article also notes that Oakland and Wayne State are partnering to allow Oakland students to complete their final year of a bachelor's degree and their first year of a pharmacy degree at WSU's new pharmacy graduate school. "These types of job-related partnerships meet the challenge issued by the Cherry Commission on Higher Education," the editorial states. "It calls for much closer coordination between the state's higher education institutions and state government to try to determine the job needs of the state and create training programs to match."
