With Kettering's many corporate connections, special visitors to campus are nothing new. This week, however, the university has hosted not only a GM director, Kettering alum Denise Gray, but state governor Jennifer Granholm as well.
Granholm visited Wednesday in recognition of a half-million dollar grant to the school from the Department of Energy to fund battery research. Calling Kettering's success an "Emblem of progress", she urged university students and researches to press forward in the development of new green technologies.

After discussing the structure of the battery system for the Chevy Volt, Gray described the safety features of the battery system, including the cooling, power control, and monitoring systems.
