Monday on Lake Effect:
We address innovation and diversity in the engineering fields with Marquette University’s Opus Dean of Engineering, Dr. Kristina Ropella. We learn about Milwaukee’s Newhall House fire — one of the deadliest hotel fires in U.S. history. Plus, a documentary showing at the EAA tells the story of Milwaukee war hero Lance Sijan, but the film is about more than just the tragic end to his life.
Guests:
- Dr. Kristina Ropella, Marquette University School of Engineering
- Matthew Prigge, author, Damn the Old Tinderbox!: Milwaukee’s Palace of the West and the Fire That Defined an Era
- Janine Sijan Rozina & Tim Seymour, Sijan documentary
