8. The GENERAL MOTORS INSTITUTE, Chevrolet and W. 3rd Aves., is sponsored and conducted by General Motors Corporation. Established in 1919 in connection with the Industrial Fellowship League, the Institute was affiliated in 1923 with the educational department of the Industrial Mutual Association. When the new building was constructed in 1927, it became officially known as the General Motors Institute. The program combines technical and theoretical training and practical work in the plants. The 10,000 students who either attended the Institute or took extension courses in 1938 came mainly from the company plants, although there are some non company, out-of-town, and foreign students. - Michigan: A Guide to the Wolverine State 1941
The General Motors Institute is no longer in existence. It became Kettering University January 1, 1998, in honor of Charles Kettering. Enrollment is nearly 2500 students.
