The Detroit Orientation Institute offers summer, fall sessions

If you're looking for a little insight into Detroit, look no further the Detroit Orientation Institute. Partnering with Inside Detroit, a nonprofit organization that showcases the city's assets, DOI has a one-day seminar for the Detroit enthusiast. The program offers bus and walking tours of downtown, southwest, Midtown, New Center, and the near East Side. You'll start off at the newly renovated Fort Shelby Hotel, and have a reception at the Detroit Opera House. You'll also get presentations from Data Driven Detroit's Kurt Metzger and a panel discussion titled "Collaboration Efforts in Detroit." It's a can't miss event if you're in love with Detroit.

The catch, however, is that you must register and tuition for the day is $250, which includes transportation to program sites, meals and background materials.

The DOI is also offering a three-day experience in the fall. This course costs $900 and is good for newcomers of Detroit. The session will leave you with an in-depth knowledge of one of the most interesting cities in the United States.
