Welcome everyone to “Bailey at 20,” celebrating the 20th anniversary of the launch of the Liberty Hyde Bailey Scholars Program at Michigan State University. In the mid-1990s, Dean Fred Poston asked faculty to design a program that would complement and supplement students' undergraduate majors. What emerged was the Bailey Scholars Program. In this podcast, you'll hear multiple reflections about the program. Thank you, Monica Glysson Craven, Emma Albrecht, Marquita Chamblee, Howard Person, the Halsted family (alumna Kristen Halsted Marks, her mother Lois and father Lee Halsted, and grandfather George Greenleaf), Carl Schwartzkopf, Kent Workman, John Duley, Angelica Forde, Paty Jaimes, Glenn Sterner, Fred Poston, and Kelly Millenbah. We close with thoughts from the current director, Jeno Rivera, and current academic adviser, Dustin Petty, about Bailey present and future. I hope you enjoy listening to 'Bailey at 20' as much as I enjoyed producing it.
