Canada Trip Highlights Cultural 
“I’ve had an interest in Canada for 30 years,” says Patrick McLean, the director of the Gerald R. Ford Institute for Leadership in Public Policy and Service. This semester, he has taken his love of all things Canada to the classroom, teaching a Prentiss M. Brown Honors Program class called Canada: More than Snow, Hockey and Maple Syrup. “It’s meant to be an introduction to students who have lived next door to this place but don’t know much about it,” McLean says. “We look at ways we’re similar and ways we’re different. You understand your culture through the lens of another culture.”

Management Consulting Students Get 
Students from Professor Vicki Baker’s Management Consulting class got the opportunity to work with NuStep, a cross trainer manufacturing and design company. Steve Sarns, ’77, NuStep’s Vice President, spearheaded the creation of “NuStepping to end Alzheimer’s.” An event will be held later this summer at NuStep’s headquarters in Ann Arbor, MI to raise money and awareness for the Alzheimer Association’s event “The Longest Day”. This day helps to raise funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research.

Dr. Bartlett, ’60, will be returning to campus on Saturday, May 7 to deliver the Commencement address to the Class of 2016. Dr. Bartlett is internationally recognized for his work as a medical investigator and researcher, and he is perhaps best known for developing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) technology in 1975. This groundbreaking surgical treatment has saved the lives of thousands of infants in critical condition over the years.
