Traverse City, Michigan - June 8, 2004

Kettering University Alumni Affairs Office, Admissions and the Cooperative Education department met with eleven alumni, 3 prospective students and their guests at the Maritime Academy in Traverse City, Michigan on June 8, 2004. Among the Kettering Alumni who were in attendance were Al Jordan '61, Alan Westerholm '68, Fred Schaafsma '70, Fred Zwemer '60, John Coleman '65, Dick Loeding '58, Neal Neese '58, John Novak '67.

The group met together to enjoy the scenery from the Maritime Academy which looked out onto the Traverse Bay from where the Academy students plan and execute their training for the great waters. They were able to take a tour of the Maritime and got to see the simulation room where it all begins.

After enjoying some hors d'oeuvres and dessert, the alumni were able to talk with the prospective students about their experiences with Kettering University, and how such a wonderful university can really change your life.
