O U R S C I E N C E TRANSFORMS THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE

We are pleased to support the 2019 MSU Science Festival

Without the next generation of engineers, mathematicians, scientists, and other professionals, the advances we enjoy today will grind to a halt.

At the Dart Foundation, we invest in the future through our commitment to developing scientifically literate students.

LANSING PROMISE

OUR KIDS. OUR COMMUNITY. OUR PROMISE. OUR FUTURE.

The Lansing Promise has a simple goal, to ensure that every child living and schooling within the Lansing School District boundaries is successful after high school. The Promise works to make success for Lansing's kids a reality by investing in scholarships toward college and career training.

Education changes lives. The Lansing Promise creates the conditions for success to happen. And it's working. You can help. Join the movement and we'll raise up the next generation.

For more information and to join the movement, visit www.LansingPromise.org.

Dean Transportation is proud to join the movement and support the Lansing Promise.

Delta Dental of Michigan is building smarter communities Did you know? Tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease in the country. And when kids miss school because of oral health problems, they’re missing critical instruction time. Help keep children focused and in the classroom by making sure they brush their teeth twice a day, floss once a day and see a dentist regularly.
