Ross Supplement Essays

I’m applying regular to LSA and Ross and I am so confused with the Ross supplemental essays.

What do they want for the artifact that displays your learning in action? I started a nonprofit and there was a local newspaper article on it. Do they want something like that? Or should I just submit a research paper I’ve done for school.

Also, can someone give me an example on what they want for the name a local current event? Does like NJ’s opium crisis count or do they want something even more local?

Thanks so much.

First question: Either are good.
Second question: That definitely counts.

some examples for Michigan- flint water crisis. Florida- flooding.
