“You have to come up into the space to really get a true appreciation for the wealth of resources and the cutting-edge technologies – what it can do for your research, for your pedagogy, for your professional and personal development. No pamphlet can describe or capture what the DMC has to offer you”

Prof. Robin R. Means Coleman shares what the unique resources in the Duderstadt Center can mean for teaching and research.
