Bulldog Days Reunion!


GMI/Kettering University alumni will roll into town this week to take part in a variety of great events including golf, fraternity gatherings, lunches, tours of the school, reunion dinner, even an alumni vs student hockey game. It is a time for reconnecting, renewal of friendships, and reminiscing.

This week, or next time you are in Flint, take a drive by The Durant, now a fully restored building of new apartments. The elegance of bygone days is still there in parts of the building. The ballroom will be restored to its original grandeur, for example. Currently the building is nearly 40% occupied.

We still have a few available seats for reunion lunch and dinner on Saturday. Call me if you'd like to come to any of the activities. It would be lovely to see you here!

You are helping students achieve their goals, improving our country and the world by their skills learned in the real world through the co-op program.   There's no other institution like Kettering in the entire world! 
Secondly, certain gifts to Kettering provide gift donors and their families with increased income and generous tax savings. You might start by browsing through the current stories here.  You can also input your own data to see if a specific gift model is right for your circumstances.
