GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) - Michigan State University has announced a $5 million challenge grant for the new Grand Rapids campus of its medical school.
Michigan State said Tuesday that Richard and Helen DeVos have pledged to match up to $5 million in gifts for the Secchia Center of the College of Human Medicine.
The $90 million center in downtown Grand Rapids is scheduled for dedication Sept. 10.
