SUMMARY:2.9.23 - Scott M. Peters
DESCRIPTION:Scott M. Peters – Author\, Making Waves: Michigan’s Boat Building Industry\, 1865-2000 \nScott M. Peters is Curator of Collections at the Michigan Historical Museum in Lansing and a lifelong Great Lakes boater. A frequent contributor to Michigan History Magazine\, he has been collecting information on the state’s boat-building industry for the past 25 years. \nMichigan will always be known as the automobile capital of the world\, but the Great Lakes State boasts a similarly rich heritage in the development of boat building in America. By the late nineteenth century\, Michigan had emerged as the industry’s hub\, drawing together the most talented designers\, builders\, and engine makers to produce some of the fastest and most innovative boats ever created. Within decades\, gifted Michigan entrepreneurs like Christopher Columbus Smith\, John L. Hacker\, and Gar Wood established some of the nation’s top boat brands and brought the prospect of boat ownership within reach for American consumers from all ranges of income. More than just revolutionizing recreational boating\, Michigan boat builders also left their mark on history—from developing the speedy runabouts favored by illicit rum-runners during the Prohibition era to creating the landing craft that carried Allied forces to shores in Europe and the Pacific in WWII. \n

SUMMARY:5.11.23 - Dr. Keli Christopher
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Keli Christopher – Founding CEO\, STEM Greenhouse \nFounder and Executive Director of STEM Greenhouse\, a nonprofit organization that fervently believes if you plant the seed in the areas of Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, and Math (STEM) and nurture the resulting curiosity\, CHILDREN WILL FLOURISH!! \nMy interest in math and science began with my excellent education in Grand Rapids Public Schools. I received a full scholarship to the HBCU\, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University\, and continued to the University of Illinois where I received a master’s and a Ph.D. in Agricultural Engineering. I am only the third Black woman to ever receive a Ph.D. in Agricultural Engineering in the world. I was often the only woman or person of color in a sea of white male faces in all my classes. This led to feelings of disconnectedness\, loneliness\, and alienation. Because of these experiences\, I promised that one day\, I would try to personally make it easier for students of color to succeed in STEM education\, pursue STEM careers\, and feel supported in a way that had been absent for me. \nThis is what I know to be true.\n– Relationships are as important as curriculum in urban K-12 education.\n– One person can change generations by influencing the life of a child. \n
