Recently, several serious assaults have been reported near the U-M campus.

The Department of Public Safety is working with the Ann Arbor Police as they investigate each of these off-campus incidents. Both agencies are increasing uniformed police patrols of these areas on and near central campus to increase visibility and ward off additional incidents.

We are excited to share the newest resource from Campus Information! The link below will lead you to the new Interactive Campus Map. This will replace any current PDF map located on the Campus Information site. Built on the familiar Google Maps platform, users will be able to easily navigate between campuses, see what buildings contain what departments, get driving or walking directions and even find the nearest appropriate parking lots.

Go Blue Box is a reusable takeout container program that offers a convenient way to grab food on-the-go from the University Club.

The program is in its pilot phase and is currently only offered at the U-Club in the Michigan Union. Go Blue Box was made possible by a grant from the Planet Blue Innovation Fund which enables students to launch sustainable projects on campus. 

Getting your Go Blue Box is simple:

"Get involved, and get involved early! Attend as many campus events as you can, or else you will miss so many things that are unique to Michigan."
