Tickets Available for April 26
You’ve read about it, seen pictures published on its operation, but do you really know what the Michigan State University’s cyclotron does? Or what role it plays in the mid-Michigan economy?
The sixth annual “Honors and Authors Night,” Tuesday April 26, sponsored by Briggs Library Foundation, will take a turn into a new area when the featured speaker will discuss the purpose and regional impact of the fascinating cyclotron. The special evening will again be held at the Emerald golf course and tickets are still available.
“Interest in the cyclotron prompted us to add it to our list of topics for the Honors and Authors Night schedule,” explained John Sirrine, Foundation president. “Early reservations are most gratifying.”
According to Zachary Constan, PhD, Outreach Coordinator for cyclotron activity events, graduate student Michael Youngs will be the presenter during the 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. event. Mr. Youngs will address a broad agenda of items related to the cyclotron, highlighting its purpose, operation and impact on the mid-Michigan economy.
“This topic is a new approach for us,” explained Sirrine. “While the Honors and Authors Night will continue its recognition of supporters and authors, since announcing this year’s subject we’ve had a number of inquiries regarding attendance. I’m confident the evening will be most informative.”
During this year’s event, Sirrine will recognize a special donor and detail the support given to the Foundation. As in the past, light refreshments will be served throughout the evening. Invitations have been mailed to all who have attended previous event and information or tickets for the upcoming evening may be obtained at the door, from any Foundation member or contacting Sirrine at 224-2853.
Attendance donation is $50.00 per guest.
