Detroit Orientation Institute to offer fall program

Detroit Orientation Institute's fall session is set for three Tuesdays in October, and only a few spots remain available according to director Ann Slawnik. The session is intended to help attendees discover Detroit — whether they are recent transplants or lifers in need of a fresh lens.

A few notable aspects of the upcoming session include a session on Detroit's automotive history at the T-Plex Model T Automobile Heritage Complex; a tour of the city's Westside from WUOM news anchor Jerome Vaughn; and one of the Eastside from University of Michigan's Eric Dueweke. Channel 7's Chuck Stokes is slated to moderate the political panel.

The DOI also features a walking tour of downtown, a backstage tour of the Opera House, a panel on arts and culture and a visit to FocusHope.

To register, contact Slawnik at 313.577.0171 or visit www.doi.wayne.edu.
