LH35-P UNUSUAL, FUN HAPPENINGS IN A 48 YEAR CAREER IN AEROSPACE
High Auditorium, Crossings Building, Landis HomesDuring Jerry’s 48-year career in the aerospace industry, there were more than 30 occasions when his jaw dropped. It’s those “ah-ha” moments that he would like to share with you. They are not things buried in long complex equations, but rather things that happened in ground simulators or with real flying machines. Things that happened in the air or on the ground and with real people - engineers, test pilots, etc. All of these stories are not based on rumors, but will be things in which the instructor had a personal involvement. He will try his best to make these stories equally puzzling to the non-engineer.

LH28-P THE REAL ISSUES IN THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
High Auditorium, Crossings Building, Landis HomesAgainst the background of ideological ideas that have divided the nation for centuries, the election of Donald Trump in 2016 brought these divisions to a head. In the election of 2020, the country was faced with the question of whether the United States was to remain a predominately white majority or become a multicultural society. The lecture will trace the evolution of these choices and how such as immigration policy, voting rights, among other views of the future of the country, led to the belief among many that the election was fraudulent.
