(University Record, 1/10/22) Helping to hoist the sail on the tall ship Inland Seas was a unique experience for Leya Phinisee, a sixth-grader from Flint. She and her dad, Jason, joined one of the three educational sail outings aboard the 77-foot schooner on the Detroit River that the University of Michigan sponsors for local nonprofit groups in the summer. “I learned about the plankton in the water, and I learned about climate change,” she said. “I went on a sailboat today, and it was super cool.”
