Placemaking: The process of creating quality places that people want to live, work, play, and learn in<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 25, 2019, the University of Michigan – Flint and Kettering University discussed the role of universities in this process. LLE 2.0: The Power of People and Place <\/strong>is the latest installment in a series of community talks focused on the connection between liberal learning and entrepreneurial thinking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Director of Neighborhood Services at Kettering University Tom Wyatt<\/strong> joined UM-Flint’s Interim Provost Dr. Sue Alcock <\/strong>for a discussion moderated by UM-Flint Student Government President Eucharia Ganda<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his work, Wyatt collaborates with community partners like those in the University Avenue Corridor Coalition<\/a>, which includes 70 community stakeholders from McLaren Flint on the West to UM-Flint on the East, Hurley Medical Center and Whaley Children\u2019s Home on the North and the Flint River to the South.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alcock pointed to the work of UM-Flint faculty and university-sponsored events as opportunities to leverage the university as a force for positivity in the community. One example is the Porch Project<\/a>, a collaboration between a block association and Assistant Professor of Biology Rebecca Tonietto. In addition to beautifying homeowners’ yards, Tonietto is researching if gardens increase wild bee diversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the interim provost, Alcock’s office is among the university units sponsoring Yo Yo Ma’s Day of Action<\/a> in Flint, which takes place February 28, 2019. The day will include performances by Ma and the UM-Flint Jazz Combo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LLE 2.0 is sponsored by the UM-Flint College of Arts & Sciences<\/a> with support from university and community partners including University Outreach<\/a> and the EDA University Center for Community and Economic Development<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
