Linda was a presenter and panel member at the Detroit Area Pre-College Engineering Program (DAPCEP) workshop entitled “Negotiating School Systems to Provide the Best Education for Your Child.” Linda was also asked to participate on a “School of Choice” ad-hoc committee at Waverly High School in Lansing to evaluate the impact of the school of choice program on the school district, students, faculty, and funding.

The lunches were successful in improving behavior of the attendees.
