Founded in 1866 as a private settlement located in Michigan's second largest city -- Grand Rapids (Kent County) -- the University typically enrolls 5000-odd students across about 80 acres on its Lettinga Campus.
Campus Child Day Care
Today at the usual hour we review the regulatory stack covering best practice for safety, accessibility, and functionality for day care facilities; with special interest in the possibilities for co-locating square footage into the (typically) lavish unused space in higher education facilities. We'll also include coverage of playground standards. Use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page.
Nursing Standards
Today we review the codes and standards that apply to the instructional and research facilities that support nursing science and practice. There is no single organization with a best practice catalog as there are in other disciplines we follow. Best practice in these settings is informed by the inherited wisdom of practitioners, faculty and students who work alongside other members of healthcare provider teams.
Nursing Policy Research
The Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing program is a research-intensive program that prepares nurse scientists for roles in research, education, practice, health policy and leadership. Students work closely with faculty mentors to plan and conduct cutting-edge and innovative research using a variety of research methods.

Educational settlements are where people come to feel at home in beautiful surroundings. The stack informing the beauty of these "cities-within-cities" changes 100 to 1000 times per day globally. Titles are time-sensitive, copyright protected and land in public law. We monitor the action continuously to formulate response to public consultations. Topics appear on our CALENDAR and explored every day at 16:00 UTC. Recommend refresh of this web page once or twice to see timeliest information.
Child Day Care
Educational communities are convergent settings for families; day care facilities among them. Many school districts, colleges and universities build and operate child day care enterprises for both academic study and/or as auxiliary (university employee benefit) enterprises. Today we examine the transcripts of the October Group B Committee Action Hearings ahead of the January 5 deadline for receiving public comment on those results.
Graduation, Dating, Engagements, Weddings, Births & Obituaries
Pairing young people with a lifetime bond may be the most enduring reason for educational settlements to exist; and one that has received subtle disregard by higher education administrators and marketers of the "college experience".

The 2026 National Electrical Code which has recently been released for public use (public input on the 2029 revision will be received until April 9, 2026).
