Lansing Economic Club With Loretta J. Ross, "Calling in the Calling Out Culture"
2021-03-02 10:40 - 23:15 | Online
Join us Tuesday, March 2 from 10:40 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. for the Lansing Economic Club partnering with the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Commission of Mid-Michigan to feature Professor Loretta Ross, Institute for Democratic Education and Culture. Professor Ross appears regularly in major media outlets about the issues of our day. She was recently featured in a New York Times piece, “What if Instead of Calling People Out, We Called Them In?” which will be the focus of the conversation.
We are facing a tumultuous future in this country, with the rise of neo-fascism scaffolded by the Republicans in the context of neo-liberalism enabled by the Democrats. Fighting against oppression and injustice are the dues we pay for the privilege of being conscious and we are honored to be able to challenge it with great responsibility. We begin to build a unified and strategic human rights movement that weaves our strengths together, that uses our differences as a platform for modeling a positive future built on justice and the politics of love, rather than a return to the past based on the politics of fear and prejudice. However, to create this movement we need to make a commitment to recognize and support each other – calling people in rather than calling them out, a prerequisite for building a united movement for human rights.
The program begins at 11 a.m. Virtual networking will occur before the program from 10:40-11 a.m. and after the program from noon to 12:15 p.m.

The Great Line 5 Debate
2021-03-10 11:00 - 12:30 | Online
Line 5 is a pipeline system carrying both oil and propane from Canada across Michigan’s upper and lower peninsulas to Sarnia, Ontario. The pipeline crosses the Straits of Mackinac, leading to concerns about a potential oil spill from the 65-year-old pipeline. Shutting down the pipeline could have significant economic and environmental impacts in Canada and parts of the United States.
This international panel brings together diverse voices to address the concerns on both sides of the border related to Line 5, as well as a potential diplomatic resolution as both countries commit to green-energy strategies. Sponsored by: MSU Canadian Studies Center, MSU International Business Center (CIBER), Institute for Public Policy and Social Research (IPPSR), Visiting International Professional Program (VIPP), and Canada – United States Business Association (CUSBA)

Directions: After registering for CAREER EXPO-SPRING EDITION on Handshake, you will be given the opportunity to sign up for 30-minute informational group sessions with specific companies AND 10-minute individual sessions with a company recruiter. You can sign up for both before CAREER EXPO or after EXPO starts, up until one minute prior to the open time slot. The 30-minute group sessions will allow you to research and learn more about a specific company and their culture to see if you are a good fit. They will also answer any general questions about the company and the position they have to offer. The 10-minute sessions give you the opportunity to engage with recruiters in a more personal setting. These sessions are designed as networking opportunities for students, short interviews or as a prescreen for a more formal interview that the employer will conduct with you after the career fair is over. Individual employers will list on Handshake their hiring needs. If they are hiring, please make sure you meet the requirements of the company before you sign up for a 10 minute one on one session. If they are not hiring, then any student can select a one on one meeting. One on one time slots are limited, and we want to make sure those who are eligible have an opportunity first, however if no one signs up, then feel free to sign up for the open time slot.
Employers will see you on the video platform on Handshake so professional dress is REQUIRED. No sweats, uncombed hair, or pajamas! This is a fantastic opportunity to meet one-on-one with recruiters.

About The Speaker
Receiving his degree from Michigan State University’s School of Hospitality Business, Bob Fish has been Chairman of the Board of the Michigan Restaurant Association, Chair of the Small Business Association of Michigan, and was a Founding Board member of MiQuest, a Michigan entrepreneurial incubator. With all of this under his belt, on March 15, 1995, Bob Fish and Michael McFall founded BIGGBY® COFFEE with a single store in East Lansing, Michigan. One year later, and on the cusp of opening a second location, the two entrepreneurs, on a handshake and $4,000, decided to franchise the concept. BIGGBY® COFFEE’s cultural values of Make Friends, Have Fun, Be Yourself, and Share Great Coffee help coffee-lovers and the coffee-curious alike benefit from a less pretentious and fun approach to the standard gourmet cafe paradigm. Today, there are 239 locations in nine states. Bob enjoys walking, mainly around Saugatuck, MI.
