Congrats to @NorthernMichU's Center for Native American Studies! The anniversary year kicks off Sept. 25 with the Indigenous Perspectives Symposium. 💜
An idea that can't reach the resources it needs doesn't fail. It just leaves.

60 years ago, three universities linked their mainframes and asked: what if we shared?
That question still runs Merit Network. Next up: advanced computing, data, quantum, and AI within reach of every Michigan lab, classroom, and startup. 💜

Picture a machine shop. Now picture a screen: toolpaths in Fusion 360, parts measured against engineering prints. That's modern CNC machining.
@FerrisState is one of two Michigan hubs for America's Cutting Edge. Free training, one week, no experience. 💜

Offer any of these? We'd love to add you. 💜

Pause before scanning in unexpected spots, and check the URL before entering anything. 💜
