Enjoy Part 2 of 2 with the video below!

Thursday, March 21, 2024, Jeffrey Mosher was on the road to the Michigan state capitol, joining the crowd on hand commemorating Rosie the Riveter Day 2024 for Michigan.

The Capital Area Manufacturing Council (CAMS) coordinated Rosie the Riveter Day with support from several sponsors and partners of the College of Engineering, including General Motors, Ultium Cells, PNC Bank, the Jackson Area Manufacturers Association and Dowding Industries.

CAMC's Director Cindy Kangas, co-host of MBN's 'Faces of Manufacturing' served as host on the occasion while WLNS-6's Sherry Jones serves as emcee for the event.

March being Women’s History Month was an appropriate time of year to pair this event with and supports several events and activities that promote its significance.

The free event took place at the State Capitol in Lansing. It included vehicle displays, food trucks, historical exhibits, and a rally on the Capitol lawn followed by a group photo.

This event drew current and former Spartan Engineers, representatives from industry and corporate partners, women who worked in manufacturing during World War II, and even an appearance from Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

These "Rosies" made weapons, tanks, planes and other military machines.
Their efforts inspired women across the world to become leaders in the workplace and led to massive changes in work policies and regulations.

Hundreds attended the second annual gathering on March 21 at the State Capitol, including groups that wore the symbolic Rosie uniform – blue coveralls, blue work-shirt and a red bandana. The event gave participants the opportunity to meet some original Rosies who supported the war effort.
