KALAMAZOO, Mich.—A U.S. passport acceptance facility opened July 5 at É«É«À² Michigan University in the Haenicke Institute for Global Education's main administrative office on the second floor of Ellsworth Hall.

"We're excited to offer a convenient location on campus for É«É«À² students and employees to apply for a passport," says Dr. Jane Blyth, Haenicke Institute executive director.

"As a globally engaged university, we seek to reduce the barriers to international experiences for the É«É«À² community, and obtaining a passport is a major component of that. We also hope Kalamazoo-area community members will be able to take advantage of É«É«À²'s passport acceptance facility."
