About the Center

	FOUNDATION The Michigan Adult Learning & Technology Center (formerly the State Literacy Resource Center) opened in 1992. In October 1998 the center adopted the new name which more accurately describes its mission. The center was initially funded under the National Literacy Act. This act, authorized by the U.S. Department of Education, provides major funding for state literacy centers. The center receives additional support from the Michigan Department of Education.
