AFC Telford United won promotion in magical style with an unforgettable 4-2 comeback play-off final victory at Kettering Town The Bucks trailed 1-0 and 2-1 as they feared a second consecutive Southern Premier Central play-off final defeat but Kevin Wilkin's troops showed great spirit to roar back late on and seal promotion to National League North Wonderful scenes marked full-time in front of a record attendance at Latimer Park Right-back Jahdahn Fridye-Harper bagged the crucial third goal 10 minutes from time with his first goal for the club Substitute Rhys Hilton rounded the keeper for four in stoppage time in front of a delirious away end who invaded the pitch to celebrate at full-time in Northamptonshire Earlier on the hosts had led twice through ex-Premier League striker Nile Ranger and Wes York but Telford struck twice back through Orrin Pendley's bundle and a wonderful Jordan Piggott finish to cap a flowing move for 2-2 The demons of Leamington 364 days earlier were banished as Wilkin and the Bucks look forward to National North football and brighter times Each of the goals were celebrated with real emotion by members of the Bucks board in the directors' box including Shropshire-born Hollywood producer Chris Ball It has been quite the few days for the club after they prevailed from behind in a topsy-turvy semi-final at home to Halesowen last Wednesday but emotion and drama was multiplied in the final showpiece It was a first away victory since January but the dramatic victory means the Bucks end the season 18 games unbeaten and regain their National League status against the side who finished second and four points further up the Southern Premier Central after several play-off heartaches as Brackley boss Atmosphere built around a sun-kissed yet chilly Latimer as many as three hours ahead of kick-off Fans spilled out of the ground's perimeter and into fan sections outside A cohort of young boisterous supporters spilled out of Kettering railway station at 12.30pm The visitors' allocation of 600 travelling supporters packed into the end their side defended in the first period in a sea of white The Bucks started purposely as Dylan Allen-Hadley slipped Byron Moore through on goal and goalkeeper Dan Jezeph rushed out to narrow the angle and save Wilkin's side were the livelier of the opening stages and top scorer Matty Stenson - passed fit late after a groin concern - was unable to connect to an inviting Jimmy Armson cross The blustering May wind wreaked havoc with one or two crosses It took Richard Lavery's hosts 20 minutes to work an attack Brandon Hall fielded a fierce York strike well after a neat backheel from Ranger The Poppies gained a foothold and former Buck Sam McLintock sent a swerving dipping effort wide of the sprawling Hall's left post The home side rode early Bucks pressure and took charge by the midpoint of the first period The breakthrough came just after half hour as Kettering right-back Ben Hart made good ground down the flank and his accurate cross was inch-perfect for Ranger to volley home from close range The Bucks rallied with skipper Luke Rowe geeing the troops Piggott bobbled a 20-yard strike at Jezeph A huge opening came and went 10 minutes before the break Allen-Hadley's cross from the left was met by Stenson but he failed to keep his header down from six yards out It was a double blow for the visitors as Armson pulled up in the same move and was withdrawn for Remi Walker Armson was later spotted on crutches and his absence was felt Stenson almost fired a sensational pick-me-up but his 30-yard half-volley flew narrowly wide The sharp Bucks hitman then fired well over shortly before the interval Telford re-emerged with the bit between their teeth and drew level A Jordan Cranston free-kick was deflected behind and the left-back's corner was attacked by Stenson in a crowded box and bundled home by defender Pendley in front of the away end Moments after stewards had removed the white smokebomb from the goalmouth the home end erupted again as Kettering re-took the lead Hart's delivery caused trouble and was returned from the left flank by Jamar Loza and York was alive ahead of defenders to turn in from close range Piggott was moved into an attacking midfield role as Walker dropped deeper and the former dragged a bouncing effort well wide Wilkin's move to push Piggott paid off in some style with 20 minutes to go Stenson shone with a wonderful piece of control and skill He stabbed forward a pass with the outside of his foot that interested Piggott The former West Brom youngster rounded Jezeph with his first touch and finished with his left foot from a tight angle for bedlam behind the goal The second equaliser took the wind out of Kettering sails and Telford powered on If Piggott's second sparked wild scenes what would follow cranked up several notches Right-back Fridye-Harper picked the ball up inside his own half with no business to do what came next He charged forward and kept going until he reached the Kettering box From the right corner he sent a low strike across goal which arrowed low into the far corner for a Telford lead Bucks nerves jangled in the closing minutes but they need not have A backpass was short and a slip helped Hilton in on goal He kept his cool and slotted home and all behind the goal lost theirs on a day to

him to do something he’d never done before Michaud, who at the time was an accountant at the private, nonprofit foundation said his boss told him to draw up tax documents showing that the foundation’s former vice president and treasurer because Cobb didn’t work for the foundation in 2020 It also was unusual because the total compensation Michaud was asked to declare on the tax documents was more than twice what Cobb was paid the last time he worked a full year for the Kettering Foundation Why was Cobb the foundation’s highest paid employee – higher even than the president and CEO – in a year he didn’t work there who served as the Kettering Foundation’s controller before leaving in 2022 said his search for answers to those questions revealed serious flaws in the way one of the largest charitable foundations in Ohio does business included lax bookkeeping practices and oversight failures that resulted in the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars “It’s kind of just like an unmoored ship,” Michaud said of the foundation Cobb and Kettering Foundation officials disagree And foundation leaders say they have thoroughly investigated Michaud’s concerns They said the Kettering Foundation, with more than $400 million in assets and millions of dollars in annual spending, is a good steward of the legacy of Charles F. Kettering the early 20th century inventor and businessman whose name appears on hospitals university labs and city streets all over Dayton and whose fortune still supports nonprofits from Ohio to New York The foundation employs dozens of people in southwest Ohio and collaborates with many more around the world on initiatives that support its mission to advance the cause of democracy. Its partners have included the NAACP, The Smithsonian Institution who shared foundation credit card receipts said the Kettering Foundation’s spending hasn’t always aligned with its mission was for years able to bill the foundation for expenses without explaining how they were related to his job from car washes and pest control services to a Netflix subscription and thousands of dollars in cash withdrawals Michaud said the 2020 tax filing that declared $573,463 in compensation to Cobb wasn’t a new payment but rather a retroactive acknowledgement to the IRS that Cobb had received more money than foundation officials had realized over the years and more than had been reflected in previous tax filings About a year after he helped prepare those tax filings Michaud outlined his concerns about Cobb’s spending and foundation officials’ handling of the matter in a letter to the Kettering Foundation’s board Though Cobb has never been charged with a crime Michaud’s letter to the board in late 2021 described the expenses he questioned as “theft.” “Beyond the failures at the individual level to stop or question what was going on it was a dysfunctional culture that allowed such brazen theft to go unchecked for several years,” Michaud wrote “Those in leadership are not held accountable which fosters an atmosphere where someone with access to funds may not fear consequences.” Neither foundation officials nor Cobb would discuss the reason for his departure from the foundation or details related to his compensation It’s not necessary for me to disclose the circumstances that drive that compensation,” said Cobb who as treasurer oversaw the foundation’s assets and investments and it performed very well over the years I did that.” described Michaud as a “disgruntled” former employee and said foundation officials properly handled his concerns After Michaud and a colleague alerted foundation officials to a potential problem those officials hired outside firms to conduct an audit and investigation He said those firms talked extensively to Michaud and at least a half dozen other foundation employees “I don’t know what else the foundation could’ve done to be more responsible.” He declined to share copies of the investigators’ reports but he said they found “nothing material about any allegation of breach or theft.” James said the investigators’ work inspired some changes to management and accounting practices but he described those changes as typical for any organization after a comprehensive audit Many cash withdrawals, few explanationsMichaud said he jumped at the chance to work at the Kettering Foundation when he learned in 2017 about an opening there for a job as director of accounting. He grew up in the Dayton suburb of Kettering and knew well the story of its namesake and most famous citizen A pioneer in the auto and aircraft industries Kettering developed the first electric starter a propeller-driven guided missile and other inventions that helped make America a leader in early 20th century manufacturing and technology Kettering’s interest in science inspired much of his philanthropy. He established the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research in New York and For decades before and after Kettering’s death in 1958 the foundation’s research and grants focused on science and technological innovation But the focus shifted in the 1980s to strengthening democracy around the world and the foundation now primarily hosts conferences and provides guidance to support that mission less than a year after he began work at the foundation Michaud began noticing what he described as sloppy and incomplete record keeping he became aware of an $800 cash withdrawal by Cobb on a foundation credit card Michaud said he assumed the withdrawal was for a legitimate business purpose but he wondered why Cobb didn’t avoid the transaction fee by submitting a request for a check like other foundation employees he found Cobb had been withdrawing cash for years without submitting expense reports explaining why Credit card statements Michaud provided show Cobb withdrew more than $200,000 in cash between November 2010 and January 2019 while also incurring about $10,000 in fees and interest Cobb withdrew cash almost every month in amounts ranging from about $500 to $5,300 Some statements show multiple withdrawals for as much as $800 just days apart it was impossible to know the purpose of the withdrawals “It’s not very likely there’s a legitimate reason,” he said He decided to address the issue by approaching Cobb directly He said he met with him in January 2019 and suggested he do a better job documenting and explaining his expenses Michaud said Cobb’s cash withdrawals stopped immediately more questions arose related to Cobb’s use of credit cards he learned an American Express account that Cobb controlled had been receiving wire transfers of money from the foundation it was acceptable as long as the money covered legitimate expenses But Michaud worried the arrangement made it difficult to track and review the payments and their purpose in part because the credit card’s statements were sent to a post office box instead of to the foundation a senior accounting manager at the foundation told him she’d questioned Cobb’s spending in the past and urged him to bring his concerns to upper management Michaud and Robinson met with Maxine Thomas who was then a vice president at the foundation Thomas did not respond to an interview request but emails provided by Michaud confirm she spoke to him about Cobb’s spending and continued to discuss Michaud’s findings for weeks after their meeting In an email exchange with Thomas in April 2019 Michaud explained he had located all of Cobb’s wire transfers since 2011 and was trying to match them to the Kettering Foundation’s payments to vendors during the same period was to determine whether Cobb had pocketed any of the money “It’s hard to determine exactly how much of the $7 million was kept and not eventually paid to KF vendors,” Michaud wrote to Thomas Michaud noticed that Cobb had sent a wire transfer of $150,404.16 from the foundation to the American Express account Cobb justified the expense in a handwritten note His note included invoices for a foundation conference totaling $75,404.16 from a Courtyard by Marriott Hotel in Dayton It also included a notation that an additional $75,000 was needed to cover “investment expense.” No invoices or receipts were included to explain the investment expense “Where is the backup for a number that large,” Robinson wrote to Michaud in an email “Someone has to tell him that he can’t keep doing this,” he responded said he did not have access to the auditors’ working papers but he said he is confident they determined the $75,000 was a legitimate business expense As Michaud gathered more statements for the American Express card he said he found other questionable charges Billing records he provided from June and July 2018 included some purchases connected to the foundation but also other expenses that Michaud said did not appear to be business related Those included $193 spent at a Dayton shoe store an online purchase of $173.78 from the Zumiez apparel and footwear company two purchases totaling $287.90 from the auto accessory company WeatherTech Direct $334.33 at an Elm & Iron home furnishings store near Columbus $248.41 at a Dayton car wash that offers detailing services and $660 for a pest control service in Florida that property records show is about 10 miles from a house Cobb owned at the time The credit card statement also included more than $500 spent at restaurants and coffee shops during the same month foundation officials turned to outside accountants and an Ohio law firm Michaud and Robinson shared their findings with the team but neither was directly involved in the investigation As the investigation continued into July 2019 his bosses announced Cobb would not return When Michaud learned the terms of Cobb’s departure He said Cobb retired with full benefits and the foundation had made no effort to recover the money in question Cobb also would continue to serve in a volunteer position as treasurer of the Sustained Dialogue Institute a nonprofit dedicated to conflict resolution that sometimes works with and receives financial support from the Kettering Foundation Michaud said he became convinced the deal was an attempt to protect everyone involved “I think it was just all about sweeping it under the rug,” Michaud said Michaud said he considered notifying law enforcement but he ultimately decided to try to change the foundation from the inside He said he began advocating for more oversight and better business practices He also told investigators and his bosses that he believed any foundation money paid to Cobb needed to be reported to the IRS If the foundation had learned Cobb took more money than the foundation had previously disclosed it had to report the money and Cobb had to pay taxes on it Michaud spelled out his concerns in an email in July 2020 to one of the accountants hired by the foundation “We had a conversation about whether funds stolen from an organization need to be reported to the IRS as income to the perpetrator,” Michaud wrote “Everything that I have referenced seems to require that this is reported to the IRS.” The accountant responded that investigators “have been working with Kettering’s attorneys on this issue.” Thomas told Michaud to draw up a W-2 earnings tax form for Cobb showing he’d received $573,463 in compensation He said she did not explain how the foundation had arrived at that dollar amount The same amount would later show up on the Kettering Foundation’s Form 990 tax filing which the IRS requires of all charitable foundations Because Cobb had not actually received $573,463 that year Michaud said he had to call the foundation’s payroll processor to walk him through the filing process “That’s the only time I have ever done it,” Michaud said James declined to discuss in detail how the foundation’s auditors determined Cobb’s compensation or why Cobb was entitled to it He said the total could have included previous unreported compensation along with severance and other pay All that I’m concerned with is that the auditors evaluated and determined whether this individual was going to be put on a W-2 James said investigators produced 150 pages of findings and recommendations and none indicated anyone committed a crime or fraud they determined Cobb’s compensation was legitimate “They went through everything exhaustively “They interviewed all the key people at the foundation.” Read more Enquirer investigations: Where did Ohio charter school's money go? Lawsuit reveals how misspent cash led to closure Read more Enquirer investigations: How a disbarred attorney stole from clients, defrauded 7 law firms and lied to a judge Though he wouldn’t share the investigators’ reports James said they recommended that the foundation require the chief financial officer to submit expense reports directly to the CEO and that the foundation eliminate situations in which supervisors submit expenses to employees who report to them “There were some procedural improvements and safeguards that needed to be addressed,” James said The foundation also investigated whether Michaud’s complaints rose to the level of a “whistleblower complaint” and whether anyone at the foundation had retaliated against him a concern that Michaud said he never raised conducted by the Taft Stettinius & Hollister law firm concluded Michaud was not a whistleblower and “did not allege any illegality violation of accounting principles and standards or regulatory violations.” It also described Michaud as an “unhappy employee” who was not in position to know whether Cobb’s spending was appropriate or whether foundation oversight was adequate Michaud’s allegations concerned matters simply not within the purview of an employee at his level,” the report said “Others related to expenses that are not illegal or unethical.” a Kettering Foundation board member who spoke to Michaud after he sent his letter to the board said she’s also satisfied with the foundation’s handling of Michaud’s complaints “I do feel comfortable saying it was addressed,” she said Cobb worked briefly for the city-owned Dayton International Airport as manager of the division of administration and finance he said he’s proud of his work at the foundation “The people at the Kettering Foundation are fantastic,” Cobb said “I enjoyed my time there and that’s really all I have to say.” now the chief financial officer at another Dayton charity said he left the foundation of his own accord He said he decided to speak out because he believes the problems he discovered put future foundation assets at risk and call into question the foundation’s commitment to its mission As he wrote in his 2021 letter to the board Michaud remains convinced that "one of the dysfunctions of the culture at the foundation is to hide problems." He said his former bosses at the foundation which survives on the endowment of its namesake founder and the investment income it generates “This guy left all this money to try to better the world,” he said “I was bound and determined to really change the place.” we are prepared to make your experience as seamless as possible you’ll have a dedicated transfer counselor to guide you through every step Kettering's education will prepare you to make a lasting impact on the world It doesn’t matter where you started college learn more about the path ahead and see how your next steps can transfer your credits and transform your future "Deciding what school I wanted to graduate from Kettering wasn’t originally one of my choices I didn’t think that I was capable of going here After talking to some amazing Kettering Staff about classes I am so passionate about engineering and my goal is to make the world a better place through engineering that I will appreciate for the rest of my life."

experience to develop groundbreaking market-ready chemical engineering solutions with Kettering University’s Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering degree program A group of visionaries from Flint founded Kettering University in 1919 as The School of Automobile Trades It opened under the direction of Major Albert Sobey with the goal of training technical and management talent for the rapidly growing automobile industry By 1923 the school had grown to offer a full four-year cooperative education program enrolling more than 600 full-time students and in recognition of this growth Major Sobey rechristened it the Flint Institute of Technology Three years later and appreciating the importance of cooperative education the General Motors Corporation acquired the school renaming it the General Motors Institute (GMI) For the next 56 years, GM operated the school as GMI and it became for the company one of its best sources of creative and successful engineering and managerial talent. By 1945 the Institute had added a fifth-year thesis requirement and had evolved into a full degree-granting university with a unique educational model built upon an ongoing and strong commitment to cooperative education GM divested itself of ownership of the school, and it became the private non-profit University it is today, however first under the name GMI Engineering & Management Institute (GMI-EMI). Shortly thereafter the institution began offering Master’s-level graduate programs to both on and off campus students GMI-EMI changed its name a final time to honor, Charles Kettering (1876-1958) an industrialist, and an early and strong proponent of professional cooperative education the school continues this historic tradition Over that proud 100-year history, Kettering University has become one of the country’s premier STEM institutions and is known around the world for educating great and successful leaders Learn more about the institution’s unique history Kettering Stories Video Series With 2019’s “Kettering University/GMI at 100,” author historian and consultant Troupe “Tim” Noonan captured the institution’s unique story of perseverance and adaptation in its first century Noonan has published over 35 books specializing in institutional and family histories and written extensively for Life The Kettering University Archives is located  at Factory One in Flint. The focus at the archives is to preserve and provide access to the history of  Kettering University The Special Collections and University Archives was established in 1974 largely through the vision and research interests of Richard P Scharchburg and members of the University’s Alumni Foundation. The nexus of the collection was the acquisition of the William C “Billy” Durant Collection from Durant’s widow and has grown into a collection in excess of 4,500 linear feet of documents (manuscripts and photographs plus several hundred books and other “artifacts.” The emphasis of the collection documents the early history of the automobile industry—not surprisingly given the early history of the University itself the collection is also an excellent source for the history of Flint and the history of Kettering University itself; the three are inexorably intertwined The collection also documents the administrative academic and social life of Kettering University Beginning with the papers of Major Albert Sobey the archives is the home of the records kept by his successors as well as many other offices of the University The archives has also collected copies of The Reflector the yearbook published by the student body as well—and the archives is always looking to add more of those kinds of records.  Kettering Collection is one of the largest collections in the archives and has been used by scholars worldwide The archives’ digital photo collection now exceeds 100,000 images A partial online catalog along with digitized photos can be found on the archives website The Humanities Art Center is located on the fourth floor of the Academic Building on campus The gallery features world-class exhibits and collections that exemplify the craftsmanship of local and national artists A variety of media are represented including paintings The center also holds a permanent collection of over 500 pieces The Archives is open to the public from 10 a.m excluding holidays. Kettering University's Curator of Special Collections may be reached at (810) 762-9690
