Libby Meyer Receives New Funding


Libby Meyer (VPA) is the principal investigator (PI) on a project that has received $25,000 from the National Endowment for the Arts.

The funding will be used to bring Guerilla Opera to the McArdle Theater on Oct. 12-15 for five performances of Elena Ruehr’s new comic opera, “The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage,” based on the graphic novel of the same name by Sydney Padua.

The project is a collaboration with the Department of Computer Science; the College of Computing; the College of Sciences and Arts; and the Institute for Policy, Ethics, and Culture. It is part of the celebration of 50 years of computer science at Michigan Tech.
