Thank you to Shan­non Schmoll, John French, and Shane Hor­vatin for host­ing the ILN-MSU Fall Kick-Off event at the Abrams Plan­e­tar­ium last evening. We had a won­der­ful group of atten­dees from var­i­ous units on cam­pus. After the meal, net­work­ing time, and busi­ness meet­ing, Shan­non pro­vided an overview of the infor­mal learn­ing approach and work at the Plan­e­tar­ium. The group was then treated to a great pro­gram using the new full-color pro­jec­tion sys­tem, which included stars, plan­ets, and a 3D model of a dinosaur who appeared on the dome!

An announce­ment was made about the new ILN-MSU Speaker Series, which starts on Novem­ber 13, 2014.  Please join us for this new oppor­tu­nity to learn more about the dif­fer­ent ways peo­ple are doing infor­mal edu­ca­tion in our community!

Thank you to every­one who attended and made this a suc­cess­ful event.
