From classrooms to racetracks—and from Michigan to the world—Lawrence Technological University is bringing “Theory and Practice” to life! 🎥🌎 I thoroughly enjoyed joining Carol Cain on CBS News Detroit’s Michigan Matters for an energizing conversation about Lawrence Technological University’s growing impact and the opportunities ahead. We explored how our international partnerships, industry connections, and early college pathways are opening doors for students; how autonomous racing brings engineering, research, and artificial intelligence together in extraordinary hands-on experiences; and how technological education can help strengthen Michigan’s future. What connects these efforts is a shared purpose: giving students the knowledge, experience, and confidence to turn ambitious ideas into meaningful contributions to their professions and communities.

What excites me most is not simply how far LTU’s reach can extend, but how many lives our education can transform. Guided by our five pillars—technological eminence, research and creative practices, industry immersion, interdisciplinary agility, and professional excellence—we are preparing graduates to do more than enter the workforce: we want them to advance discovery, strengthen communities, and create opportunities for others. Our ambition is to help make Michigan a place where talent comes to learn, stays to build, and connects with the world. Thank you, Carol, for such a thoughtful and spirited conversation—and to our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and partners for making LTU’s story one of possibility and progress! Please enjoy the full 12-minute interview. 💙

Celebrating the People Who Make LTU Extraordinary! 💙💛

What a wonderful way to welcome another academic year! Last week, we gathered for Lawrence Technological University’s annual Faculty and Staff Welcome Back Picnic—an afternoon filled with great conversations, laughter, friendship, and the unmistakable spirit of the LTU community.

One of the greatest privileges of serving LTU is working alongside such an exceptionally talented and dedicated group of faculty and staff. Every day, their commitment to our students, their pursuit of excellence, their creativity, and their willingness to innovate strengthen our university and move us forward. Whether in our classrooms and laboratories, across our campus, or throughout the many communities and industries we serve, our people are the driving force behind LTU’s continued progress and growing impact.

As we embark on another exciting year, there is so much to look forward to—new opportunities, new ideas, new accomplishments, and countless ways to advance our distinctive “Theory and Practice” tradition. Most importantly, we will do it together.

My sincere thanks to everyone who joined us, and to all those who helped make this gathering possible. I am tremendously grateful to our faculty and staff for everything they do each day for our students and for Lawrence Technological University.

Here’s to an outstanding year ahead—and to continuing to build LTU’s future together!

I receive this distinction with enormous pride and, above all, profound gratitude for the Lawrence Technological University community. This recognition reflects the talent, dedication, creativity, and commitment of our faculty and staff—and the ambition of the remarkable students we are privileged to serve.

For more than nine decades, LTU has advanced a bold, technology-driven approach to education where ideas become solutions, learning connects to industry, and innovation creates meaningful impact.

I am deeply proud to stand alongside our faculty, staff, students, alumni, trustees, donors, industry partners, and friends whose passion continues to move LTU forward. This recognition belongs to all of them.

It’s not easy to do what SIM Detroit does.

The events don’t happen by accident.

The mentoring doesn’t happen by accident.

The scholarships, leadership programs, community impact, and meaningful connections don’t happen by accident.

Behind every one of them is a volunteer.

A leader with a demanding career.

A family.

A calendar that’s already overbooked.

And a hundred reasons to say no.

Yet they still show up.

Because they understand.

They know the pressure.

They know the responsibility.

They know what it feels like to carry the weight of a team, a budget, a transformation, or a business outcome.

And they still make time to help someone else navigate the journey.

Our sponsors help fuel the mission.

Our members create the network.

But the secret sauce has always been leaders investing in leaders.

Someone who understands the demands of your role because they’ve lived them themselves.

That’s what makes SIM Detroit different.

Volunteer fueled. Community powered.

🎥 It was a pleasure to be back in conversation with my good friend Charlie Langton on WJBK-TV FOX 2 Detroit for a timely and wide-ranging discussion about Lawrence Technological University, the future of education, scholarships, artificial intelligence, and how universities must continue adapting to the accelerating pace of technological change. I was especially grateful for the opportunity to highlight one of LTU’s most important upcoming celebrations: our Annual LTU Scholarship Gala, taking place on May 16 at The Department at Hudson’s in Detroit. This extraordinary event supports student scholarships and helps ensure that talented, driven students have access to the transformative, technology-focused education that defines Lawrence Tech.

At LTU, our mission of Theory and Practice is rooted in preparing students to lead, innovate, and contribute meaningfully from day one. The Scholarship Gala is a powerful reflection of that mission, bringing together alumni, donors, partners, and friends who believe deeply in student success and in the remarkable impact LTU graduates make across Michigan and beyond. I am excited to share the full interview here and deeply grateful to all who continue to support our students, our mission, and our future. 🚀💙

I had the pleasure of joining Carol Cain on CBS News Detroit’s Michigan Matters last week, alongside Lawrence Technological University Provost Karl Daubmann and Jennifer Llewellyn, Director of Oakland County Michigan Works!, for an important conversation about the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on education, industry, and everyday life. It was a wonderful opportunity to discuss how AI is reshaping the classroom, redefining the workforce, and accelerating innovation across every sector. I am grateful to Carol Cain and the Michigan Matters team for convening such a timely and thoughtful discussion.

At Lawrence Technological University, we are not merely responding to the AI era—we are helping lead it. As one of the nation’s most eminent private, technological, comprehensive doctoral universities, LTU continues to serve as a powerhouse in preparing students, professionals, and industries for a future defined by intelligent systems, automation, interdisciplinary innovation, and real-world application. Guided by our enduring mission of Theory and Practice and our five defining pillars: Technological eminence, Research and creative practices focus, Industry immersion, Interdisciplinary agility, and Professional excellence; we are equipping graduates to lead with confidence, creativity, and impact from day one. I am proud of the role LTU is playing in shaping this future—and even more excited about what lies ahead. 🚀💙

🏁 I recently had the pleasure of traveling to Arizona with my son, Omar, following a truly memorable moment from our 2025 Lawrence Technological University Scholarship Gala, where he won the bid on an extraordinary race track experience generously donated by our distinguished alumnus and supporter Ketan Patel and his wife, Alicia. What followed was an exhilarating and unforgettable day at the track — but even more meaningful than the experience itself was the opportunity to spend time with Ketan and Alicia, to witness their generosity firsthand, and to thank them personally for the remarkable way they support LTU and our students. Their gift was not simply an auction item; it was a powerful act of philanthropy that helped advance student scholarships and created a truly special experience for our family. 🚗💨

Ketan embodies the very best of the LTU alumni spirit — successful, generous, gracious, and deeply committed to opening doors for the next generation. Alicia and Ketan’s hospitality during our visit was exceptional, and their continuing support is a reminder of the profound impact our alumni have across industries and communities. At Lawrence Tech, we take great pride in the extraordinary outcomes of our students and graduates: individuals who leave our campus prepared to lead, innovate, and make an immediate difference in the world. Ketan’s success, and his willingness to give back so meaningfully, reflects the enduring strength of LTU’s Theory and Practice mission and the remarkable legacy of our alumni community. My sincere thanks again to Alicia and Ketan for their friendship, generosity, and for helping make our scholarship mission stronger. 💙✨

🌵 I recently had the pleasure of spending time in Arizona with a wonderful group of Lawrence Technological University alumni, supporters, and friends, and I returned deeply encouraged by the strength, reach, and continuing momentum of the LTU community. Across Phoenix and beyond, I was reminded that Lawrence Tech’s influence is carried every day by graduates whose talent, professionalism, and ingenuity are making a meaningful difference in industry and society. Whether in engineering, technology, architecture, business, design, or entrepreneurship, our alumni continue to distinguish themselves as thoughtful leaders and problem-solvers who embody the very best of LTU’s Theory and Practice mission. 💙

These visits reinforce something we know well at LTU: our students are prepared not only to graduate, but to thrive. They leave Lawrence Tech with outstanding technical preparation, real-world experience, strong professional skills, and the confidence to contribute immediately in high-impact careers. That is why LTU continues to be known for exceptional student outcomes and why our alumni network remains such a powerful source of mentorship, opportunity, collaboration, and pride. To our Arizona alumni and supporters: thank you for your warm hospitality, your enduring belief in LTU, and your continued commitment to opening doors for the next generation. I left Arizona inspired, grateful, and excited for all that lies ahead. 🚀✨
