Four Years of “Making Michigan” and Four Decades at Michigan: Some Reflections – with Gary Krenz

In the next Making Michigan, retiring Detroit Observatory Director Gary Krenz will speak about his decades of service to U-M, sharing never-before-heard answers to questions like: How did U-M’s Vice President for Research get him in trouble with his mother? Why did U-M President Lee Bollinger never ask him to write anything for him again? Why didn’t his gut satisfy interim U-M President Joe White? How did he end up with his own bathroom in the Fleming Administration Building? Join us for a mix of history of U-M, theory of higher ed, and (hopefully) humor.
