Marco and Polo Say Goodbye... To Kettering

Marco and Polo here,
   We hope everyone had an exceptional Thanksgiving holiday Marco and Polo were not saying goodbye to anything last week but have returned to school for our last few weeks.  Which for you, our readers, means a few more weeks of saying goodbye.
   Very much like the city of Flint, and Michigan itself, Kettering has deep roots in the motor industry.  Yes for those of you who haven't figured it out we are Kettering students.
       A Brief History of Kettering:
         There once was a small car company called General Motors (GM), it decided it needed engineers and business majors so built a University to mold their employees minds both in the classroom and in the workplace...  This little school (GMI) would, many years and a downsize in GM later, become Kettering University.
   Since those early days of engineering and business Kettering has expanded its educational horizon to include majors such as: computer science, physics, mathematics, and of course our very own biochemistry/chemistry/applied biology majors.  It also became the place Marco and Polo would find their serendipitous meeting.
   Here for your viewing, and reading, pleasure are just a few of the things that make Kettering unique:

The front of the Academic Building (AB),  in case you can't see it
General Motors Institute of Technology is written across the top,
 is the home of many of the majors at Kettering.

This is the bell tower, it is hardly EVER chiming at a rational time...
The year it was built the student body was also wanting a pool,
in that honor the cement area it is built next to is called the Pool by the student body.

Meet General Determination (a.k.a the Bulldog)
Kettering's trusty mascot who moonlights as a billboard...
Behind him you can see the lovely beach.

   Though we have a serious love-hate relationship with Kettering, this is our school, in a sense it is the place we have called 'home' for the last four and a half years.  Without our experiences here we aren't sure where we would be, or who we would be today.  For all the friends we've made, for all the things we've learned, for all the moments we've shared we own Kettering a proper goodbye.

Stay nerdy and we'll see you next week,

Marco and Polo
