How different our lives are when we really know what is deeply important to us,

and keeping that picture in mind, we manage ourselves each day to be and

to do what really matters most.

School of Business Launches Innovation Lab

The Innovation Lab, in the Maertens Building, opened February 23. It houses

three-dimensional (3-D) printers, virtual re-

ality goggles, and other cutting-edge

technology. "We're using it as a sandbox

for experimenting with new technologies –

a maker space, an innovation hub," said

Phillip Olla, Ph.D., Director of the Center for

Research and professor of management

information systems at Madonna.

Beginning this fall semester, the new Emerging Trends in Computer Technol-

ogy and Applications class will use the Innovation Lab for class and assign-

ments. In addition to 3-D design and printing, students will be able to exper-

iment with virtual reality, augmented reality, and designing infographics.

The I Lab was funded by a generous grant from Bill Harahan, president of

the Michael F. McManus Foundation, for the purpose of enhancing Madon-

na's research community.

Want to make Madonna’s Food Service Better?

It was brought to our attention that the water from some of the

restroom faucets and drinking fountains, in the Main Administra-

tion Building, was discolored, so we have had it tested in various

locations. The inspector has indicated that chlorine levels are fi-

ne, and there is no cause for alarm.

Water testing is ongoing in the College of Education wing, Nurs-

ing Simulation Lab and other areas. We will update you with the

results of the testing. Until then, and to be super cautious, we ad-

vise that you not use discolored water for drinking.

There is filtered water in the dispenser outside the Office of the

President.

If you use a faucet or fountain and the water is discolored,

please report it to Jody Batway at ext. 5744

or jbatway@madonna.edu.

The Spring Job Fair will happen on April, 4 from 3pm to 6pm and

it will take place on the activities center/gym. The Job Fair will

have over 50 registered employers that will offer part-time and

full-time opportunities for our students.

Madonna BCA Students and Pro-

gram Director Suzanne Boyd are

learning outside the classroom in

L.A. this week.

Last week, one of our alumni, who

is a producer for James Corden’s

Late, Late Show, got the Madon-

na group prime seating for the

show that airs tonight at half past midnight, (so really Wednesday a.m.) on

CBS. The guests are Kerry Washington and Alec Baldwin, but if you tune in,

watch for these familiar faces in the audience. The students are pictured

here with actress Dee Wallace, best known as the mom, Mary, in E.T.

Spirit of Detroit:

Urbanism and Imagination

March 29, 2016

Deborah Lubera Kawsky, Art Historian, Ph.D.

While the city of Detroit was named for its riverfront site, it is the public spaces of the

city -- populated with sculptures, murals and architectural masterpieces -- that have

captured the imagination of artists, architects, urban planners, and civic leaders for

centuries. Join art historian, Deborah Lubera Kawsky, for a virtual tour of Detroit’s

past, present, and future urban development, from the civic plans of Augustus

Woodward (1805) and Eero Saarinen (1943-51) to the futuristic concepts for Detroit

sites like the Dequindre Cut and the Packard Plant, unveiled at the Venice Biennale

in 2016. We all know that the “spirit of Detroit” is alive and well today – rediscover its

history and evolution!

This lecture coincides with an exhibition to be held at Detroit’s MOCAD (Museum of

Contemporary Art Detroit), entitled “The Architectural Imagination,” which runs from

February 11, 2017 until April 16, 2017. The exhibition was organized for the US Pavil-

ion at the 15th International Architecture Exhibition at the 2016 Venice Biennale in

Venice, Italy.

Deborah Lubera Kawsky received her Ph.D. in Art History from Princeton University in

1991. She has lectured on art historical topics in museums, universities and libraries

throughout the Metro Detroit area for more than 20 years. She is currently complet-

ing a book on mid-century modern architect and designer, Alexander Girard, to be

published by Wayne State Press in 2018.
