My abroad program began yesterday in Detroit, and soon I'll have some pictures to share with you all. Detroit is grand and exciting in a "there's no one left here" sort of way, but it's incredibly interesting to learn about.
We had a couple speakers today- one from the human resources dept. of Ford, and the other from SMART, http://www.um-smart.org/ which is an innovative transportation organization working to connect already existing transportation infrastructure in cities around the worlds through inter-modal IT networks. I also gave a presentation on Chicago's bid for the 2016 Olympics, a contentious issue that I'm excited to see the outcome of on October 2nd. And now I'm off to pizza dinner.
