An audience of 3,500 in
Hill Auditorium burst into
applause at the sight of The
New York Times best-selling
author Daniel Pink’s “Fear the
Khaki” T-shirt on Tuesday
evening. Pink donned the shirt
as part of the first anecdote
during his presentation, “The
Mind of the Future: How
to Survive an Outsourced,
Automated Age.” Pink’s talk
highlighted useful lessons on
what it takes to be successful
in the workplace as society
shifts from the information
age to the conceptual age.
Aside
from
an
author,
Daniel Pink is also a well
known
business
strategist
who was named one of the
top ten business minds in the
world by Thinkers50 in 2015.
His TED Talk on science and
motivation
has
also
been
viewed
almost
19
million
times. Pink also served as
former
Vice
President
Al
Gore’s
chief
speechwriter
from 1995 to 1997.
Pink’s presentation was a
part of the Joseph and Sally
Handleman Lecture Series,
which presents the University
of Michigan with the nation’s
leading
experts
in
areas
of business, academia and
government.
Business freshman Drew
Tyson was one of the students
taking
advantage
of
the
lecture. Before the event,
Tyson was looking forward
to hearing Pink’s lessons —
especially those concerning
future success.
“I want to study finance
and accounting and sort of
how to manage your money
and tips for being successful
when I’m older, so I hope to
learn some stuff about that,”
he said, explaining how his
interest in business prompted
him to attend the event.
Pink’s
presentation
highlighted Asia, automation
and
abundance
as
the
three main challenges that
individuals face in today’s
economy. He reflected on
how Asia’s large and capable
population has resulted in
outsourcing of many jobs
University of Michigan Central
Student Government convened
Tuesday night, introducing the
various initiatives of their executive
committees for the academic year
and passing revisions to the CSG
Elections Code.
On par with a wider initiative of
schools in the Big Ten Conference,
CSG Vice President Nadine Jawad,
a Public Policy senior, announced
efforts for the University to partake
in a University-side campaign to
compete against other institutions
to register students to vote as Sept.
26 — National Voter Registration
Day in the United States —
approaches.
CSG President Anushka Sarkar,
an LSA senior, redressed concerns
among
the
assembly
about
registering students to vote in the
state of Michigan, which may not
be their permanent residency.
“We will not be encouraging
people to be registered to vote in
Michigan or Ann Arbor if this is
not their regular residence because
there are ethical concerns,” Sarkar

Ann Arbor City Council has
revealed the master plan for
a new state-of-the-art urban
trail through the city.
The trail, which will be
known as The Treeline: Allen
Creek Urban Trail, began as
a citizens’ initiative and has
garnered wide support from
City Council in the last two
years. The current draft of
the trail’s route spans 2.75
miles and aims to connect
the Huron River area of the
city with downtown. It is
expected to cost around $55
million to complete.
Although trail routes are
still tentative, the city hopes
it will be able to connect the
trail to the Border-to-Border
trail, which runs alongside
the Huron River and connects
much of Washtenaw County
by bike path. They also hope
to make the trail adjacent to
the University of Michigan
campus.
City Administrator Howard
Lazarus said the city is excited
about the opportunities this
new trail could bring, and
thinks the creation of the trail
will accomplish many goals
Ann Arbor has set for itself.
“It provides connections,
ways for people to get around,
opportunities
for
family
recreations,” Lazarus said. “It
can also be a nice development
tool because in many cases
it’s been proven that access
to high quality bicycle and
pedestrian
facilities
raise
property values and make
properties more attractive.”

unveiled
the

The event was hosted at Mcity,
a test site for driverless cars
that opened on North Campus
in July 2015. The site — which
includes features necessary for
standard transportation by car
such as freeways, road signs
and highway tunnels — has
been used by companies such as
Ford and was a pivotal resource
in the debut of the first self-
driving passenger shuttle in
North America.
“At Michigan, working with
our partners in government
and industry, we are driving
the future of mobility towards
a society that is safer, more
sustainable and economically
powerful for our state and
nation,” Schlissel said during
the conference.
