Wow, Can't really sleep because my brain is processing so much information. Picked up some really interesting things on the flight over here about MSU. In just over 10 years they managed to increase endowments from $ 1 million to over $ 1 billion!!!! I think that every UK institution with alumni-type activity needs to find out how our US friends managed to do this. Looking forward too, to arriving in East Lansing - I read yesterday that the population is 60% aged between 15 and 24 years old - so it will be interesting to see what elements of engagement with this type of population we can bring back to inner city Manchester?
Richard Braham from Nesta and Raf from Salford kept it interesting on the 10 hour flight. Thanks guys. Everyone on the trip is really lovely. Some of the party ventured into Detroit last night so I'll need to see if there is any pictures we can post of their fun.
