SUMMARY:Virtual Artist Salon: Summer Like The Season and KESSWA
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join us in this virtual gathering space for discovery\, dialogue and the exchange of ideas. \nThis unique series focuses on the 2022 Kresge Artist Fellows and Gilda Awardees\, featuring artists KESSWA and Summer Like The Season. A presentation about their practices will be followed by a Q&A based conversation moderated by Bridge Detroit’s Orlando P.

SUMMARY:Detroit school board virtual candidate forum
DESCRIPTION:RSVP\n					 \nTwo former board presidents\, a few former educators\, four incumbents\, parents and a recent graduate are among the 18 candidates running for four open seats on the Detroit school board in what could be a consequential election for the city school district. \n​​The seven-member board oversees and sets policy for the Detroit Public Schools Community District\, which educates nearly 49\,000 students. With more than half of the four-year seats open for the Nov. 8 general election\, new board members could impact Superintendent Nikolai Vitti’s plan to address pandemic-related enrollment losses\, chronic absenteeism and poor academic achievement. \nChalkbeat Detroit and WDET are hosting a virtual school board candidate forum Thursday\, Oct. 13\, 5:30-7:30 p.m. Join us as we hear from the 18 candidates vying to lead Detroit public schools. The forum will be held over Zoom and split into two panels with a short intermission. A schedule will be announced closer to the event. \nThis event is free to attend\, but you must RSVP to receive the Zoom information. You can also let us know what questions you have for the candidates when you sign up. \nChalkbeat is a nonprofit news organization committed to covering one of the nation’s most important stories: the effort to improve schools for all children\, especially those who have historically lacked access to a quality education. \nWDET has provided an independent voice for the Detroit region for nearly 70 years. As a community service of Wayne State University\, we use the power of our broadcast and digital channels to inspire and educate listeners at home and away.

DESCRIPTION:Do you love otters? If so\, you are definitely not alone. These semi-aquatic members of the weasel family are known for their cuteness and resourceful behavior. \nIn our June First Friday Watch Party\, we’ll celebrate the recent otter sighting on the Detroit River after a long absence\, and talk about the differences between sea otters and river otters. We’ll also learn about what we can do to protect and promote a safe and healthy habitat for otters throughout the Great Lakes region. \nWe’ll show a PBS Digital Studios and PBS Nature Animal IQ video about otters called “Otters: Cute\, Playful\, Geniuses?” You can learn more about the series by visiting the PBS Terra YouTube channel. \nGuests for this watch party include:\n–Dr. John Hartig\, an award-winning Great Lakes scientist and columnist for Great Lakes Now. Hartig recently penned a special column for GLN on the significance of the recent otter sighting in the Detroit River.\n–Natalie Riemer\, curator of terrestrial animals at the Great Lakes Aquarium in Duluth\, MN.
