FLINT, MI -- Multiple Kettering University programs will gain more funding thanks to a $110,000 donation from the General Motors Foundation.
Last month the foundation presented Kettering with the check at the Kettering Kickoff FIRST Robotics event. The funds will be distributed among several programs that support the GM Foundation Mission, including Kettering programs that promote diversity in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) fields, autonomous robot development, FIRST Robotics and development of plastics-capable engineers, among other programs.
“The GM Foundation has been instrumental in their support of a variety of Kettering University initiatives,” said Kettering University President Robert K. McMahan in a written statement. “GM’s support of students in these programs – future industry leaders -- is truly inspirational.
