Skeptics in the Pub (Flint)
Grand blanc tap bar & grill, 3021 E. Grand Blanc Rd., Grand Blanc, MI, USSkeptics in the Pub, “Critical Thinking with a Pint,” is an opportunity for nontheists to converse in a casual, fun atmosphere.
Learn more about the international Skeptics in the Pub movement at skepticsinthepub.org. (We don’t invite speakers, but rather follow our conversations wherever they take us. For a more structured discussion, look for Café Inquiry events on our calendar.)
This event is free and open to the public. Donations appreciated, but not expected.
Don’t drink? That’s okay! Many famous skeptics were teetotalers, and there is no problem with that.
Drinking skeptically means drinking responsibly. Science teaches us what alcohol does to the human body.
You will find the group at a table with little Michigan Humanists table signs.

Café Inquiry (ONLINE) - Higher Education in Crisis?
·En líneaEn líneaThis event is held online. To see the Zoom link, RSVP and look at the right hand panel.
How University Presidents Set the Tone for Institutional Culture and Why That Matters to Students
Is there a crisis in higher education? Does higher education still have value? Why do some universities struggle while others seem to thrive? Join us at the next Café Inquiry Online as Dr. Figen Mekik, Professor of Geology in the Physics Department of Grand Valley State University, discusses these issues along with how the quality of senior institutional leadership is the key to a thriving university – affecting both tuition costs and the quality of education and support. Dr. Mekik will also touch on recent decisions at the University of Michigan (hiring a new President) and at GVSU (cutting some retirement benefits) and their potential impacts. This promises to be a very topical and lively discussion. See you there!
Dr. Figen Mekik became the public face of an open letter to the Board of Trustees of GVSU signed by (now) over 250 faculty, students, and staff concerned about the new direction of the Institution set by its senior leadership. Figen has authored several articles about the fallacies of crisis in higher education, students being the most important people on campus, and the qualities senior leadership must have to successfully steward their institution for the benefit of all its students.
Visit https://michiganhumanists.org/events for recommended readings prefacing this week's discussion.
Café Inquiry starts with a short introduction of the day’s topic, followed by casual discussion.
This event is free and open to the public. Donations appreciated, but not expected.
Attendees are able to future propose topics which would align with Michigan Humanist’s purpose: from atheism, agnosticism, humanism, secularism, and freethinking to broader subjects in science and humanities, such as religion, philosophy, social issues, politics, evolution, morality, ethics, and psychology.
Café Inquiry (Grand Rapids) meets each month IN PERSON on the second Sunday and ONLINE on the fourth Sunday.
