The campaign is an attempt to raise awareness about the disease and make the issue a high social priority. Moyad will speak at several rallies and schools during his journey.
Moyad hopes to collect letters from people in all 50 states about their experiences with cancer. He plans to give them to President Clinton at the end of his journey.
Moyad's campaign is being sponsored by the University's Medical Center, Saint Joseph Mercy Health System-Ann Arbor and area businesses.
The group includes lecturers, faculty associates and associate professors. The recipients are Ruth Campbell, Michael Fetters, Sadashi Inuzuka, Yuki Johnson, Abe Markus Nornes, Jonathan Reynolds, Jennifer Robertson, and Seonae Yeo.
The scholarships provide resources for the scholars to study Japanese culture at the University.
The first of these talks will be held Sept. 11, in the Rackham Auditorium, featuring Lawrence Levine. Levine is an award-winning historian and author of "The Opening of the American Mind."
Levine will act as a visiting professor while on campus and participant in a multi-disciplinary seminar with University faculty and students on issues concerning race, history, education and multiculturalism.
Chopra is the author of 19 books, including his latest "The Seven Spiritual Laws for Parents." Chopra will sign books at the event.
Tickets for the event are available at the Michigan Union ticket office and Ticketmaster.
More than 1,200 boxes of books have been donated for the sale. The books will be sold for approximately $2 each, and the sale is expected to draw book dealers from all over Michigan.
The Ann Arbor chapter of the AAUW donated more than $15,000 this past year. The foundation helps to provide financial assistance to women working on a graduate-level degree in fields women do not traditionally pursue.
