Make a WISE Gift
In the sesquicentennial year of its completion, we will examine the creation of the first rail line to cross the USA. It was a tremendous feat of engineering, a massive public boondoggle, a vehicle for racial prejudice and virtual genocide, a death march of cutthroat competition, and a corrupt political stew all rolling on rails 4’8 ½” apart.
INSTRUCTOR: Victor Saffrin has a BA in Theater and Economics and an MS in Computer Science and is now retired from a career spanning rock-and-roll lighting roadie, laser light show designer, embedded software engineer, and engineering process manager. He has taught WISE courses for several years.
