The School of Information’s Engaged Learning Office has put out a call to the UMSI community: Any student, staff or faculty member can share a prototype, sketch, or demonstration of their idea for helping the unbanked residents in Lansing minimize fees on relief checks and introducing them to viable banking options.
“The UMSI community is great at focusing the information challenges that are at the root of many civic issues like this,” says Scott Tenbrink, Civic Engagement Program Manager at the School of Information. “So much of our social and civic engagement is virtual and remote, we have the skills and knowledge to lead. And we are motivated to build a better world. I see it in our students every day of class.”
