Case Study: Great Lakes Research Institute (now the Lake Michigan Research Institute)
January 6, 2016 was a typical mid-winter Wisconsin day with temperatures hovering in the single digits. But inside the conference room at the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay, a discussion was underway. The topic: the founding of Great Lakes Research Institute - an organization dedicating itself to providing collaborative Lake Michigan research opportunities for University of Wisconsin faculty and students, as well as the citizens of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin (the hoped-for destination of the institute.)
