“The Henry Ford/MSU partnership is going to be a game changer for us at Michigan State, and I think likewise for Henry Ford, Guskiewicz says addressing the new research partnership in Detroit. “It’s a partnership that’s been developing over the past two to three years.”

Speaking about school safety, he says, “We’ve changed out MSU Safety App to allow for better communication through that app out to the community members. We’ve changed a lot in terms of the locking mechanisms for classrooms and buildings. We’ve got a new emergency operations command center.”
