MSU students soon will have the opportunity to witness an educational event aiming to erase the stigma associated with failure. ASMSU, MSU’s undergraduate student government, has allocated $25,000 from its Special Projects fund to host Failure:Lab, a storytelling event that allows spectators to listen in on strangers’ stories of failure. The student government hopes to be able to recover their investment in this event through ticket sales. Failure:Lab, which previously has performed shows in Grand Rapids and Detroit, invites well-known, successful people to share intimate stories of personal failure in their lives. The storytellers are not allowed to explain how their failure helped them later achieve their goals, but must instead focus on how failure is a normal component in reaching success. Jonathan Williams, co-founder of Failure:Lab, has been brainstorming ideas of bringing notable alumni into the event as a way to localize the event to a campus environment. The event is meant to reduce the fear many people have of taking a risk and falling short, Williams said. “Failure:Lab is an honest conversation about the struggles behind success,” Williams said.

Lansing – In his fourth State of the State address, Gov. Rick Snyder delivered a wide-ranging speech brimming with optimism, peppering in a slew of promises that included connecting young people with jobs and retaining an international work force. The governor emphasized the need to keep talented people from abroad working in Michigan, pledging to create a new office called the Michigan Office for New Americans to encourage legal immigration to the state. The initiative could impact more than 7,000 international students at MSU who are here on temporary visas. “If someone has the opportunity to come to our country legally let’s hold our arms open and say ‘Come to Michigan, this is the place to be,’” Snyder said. House Minority Leader Tim Greimel, D-Auburn Hills, pointed out that immigration is largely out of the hands of state leaders because it is a federal issue. In a press conference following Snyder’s speech, he said he doubted creating a state immigration office would make a difference, characterizing it as a public relations ploy. Whitmer also said Snyder’s encouragement of immigrating to Michigan was not wholehearted, given what she deemed “intolerant” legislation that recently had been passed in the state. “If you’re really going to say to the world, ‘Michigan’s the place to come,’ you’ve got to support all people,” Whitmer said. Sam Singh, D-East Lansing, said he liked the idea of taking steps with immigration, but thought the address missed a lot of details. “When you look at funding cuts to higher education, reinvestment in communities, (Snyder) didn’t even talk about those areas,” Singh said.
