Yesterday, Rhonda took Spivey and I on a special tour of Detroit. This wasn’t a tour of Comerica Park or Ford field, nor the Detroit riverfront or Belle Isle. We went on a tour to experience the industrial side of Detroit, a side that few people outside of Detroit have ever seen before. Across the […]
I had the opportunity to participate in another UM program this Summer and as a result I am started the CBRP program late. I literally flew back, went home for a day and then moved into the dorms the next! Although it was a fast transition I am glad to

Hello all, Unfortunately I had a late start here at InsideOut. My supervisor had a death in the family so was not in the office. The first week was a little rough just because it seemed things at the office were unsettling for my supervisor who was somewhat behind due to her loss. I was

Week two was similar to my week one, but with a few extra twists. I saw even less of my supervisors, but they left me more than enough tasks to complete. I really enjoy the Green Garden’s atmosphere. Here at the office we also discovered that running microwaves, especially Panasonic brands, interrupt internet connections. We
This week has been fairly simple again. For my project I continued to put all my information together and I met with my supervisor to go through what I already have. There wasn’t anything really exciting happening this week. Wednesday I was asked to be featured in an ad GRDC is putting together to showcase
This Tuesday, I went to Ann Arbor for my first bi-weekly seminar on Green Energy with U of M’s Energy Institute (UMEI), which compliments my project, research on the Detroit Public Schools’ GO GREEN Challenge, quite nicely. I’m stoked about having an opportunity to continue to learn about Sustainability, because before I changed my major

First post! It’s been an interesting first week. I was a little surprised to find out that I am the only person at my physical office working for Food System Economic Partnership (my placement)– everyone else is involved in MSU Extension, which FSEP is involved in, but no one else in the office works directly with

GRDC works to increase safety and decrease crime in the neighborhoods, renovate vacant homes, beautify the neighborhood, as well as put on many programs and volunteer opportunities for the community to

It has been an amazing first week at MSA. As soon as I arrived, I absolutely fell in love with downtown Ferndale and the office space. I did get a little lost in finding the space but luckily my supervisor came to the rescue. The Ferndale office (since there is a Ypsilanti office as well)

I had a fresh first week. I spent most of my time outside of the office. Thank God himself that I was not strapped to my laptop doing research most of the time. The employees are cool and relaxed. A plus to this week was being able to play with a coworker’s kids, especially the
