Connections

Each issue of the foundation's annual newsletter focuses on one Kettering program area. Each issue contains articles, feature stories, and book reviews relevant to the foundation's work. Editing responsibilities for Connections rotate among Kettering program staff.

The 2011 Connections, edited by Program Officer Phillip Lurie, reviews Kettering’s research during the 2010-2011 program year on the role of communities in creating a culture of learning.
