MSU brings cathartic stories of failure to Wharton

www.msuspartans.com

Earlier this year Current State’sEmanuele Berry introduced listeners to Failure:Lab. The event asks presenters to share a story of failure with the world.

Tomorrow, tales of defeat will be showcased at the Wharton Center, as part of a joint effort between Michigan State University and Failure:Lab. This event marks the first time Failure:Lab has partnered with a university. Jonathan Williams is one of the creators of Failure:Lab. He says the program was started in Detroit through a TED Talk.

WKAR has closed the gap left by the loss of federal funding. Because of you, trusted journalism, inspiring stories, and classical music remain freely available to everyone in mid-Michigan.
Now the work continues — your monthly gift helps maintain this success and keeps public media free for all.
