Student Life

Searching for a job or internship is stressful for most students. So what's different when you also have a disability? Come find out more 11/6/2015.

Student Life is on a mission to achieve the highest rating of sustainability across campus. Already, many of the organizations under its umbrella have gone Platinum as green champions at the University.

The University Activities Center (UAC) is the latest organization to achieve a Platinum level rating by the Sustainable Workplace Certification Program. Based at the Michigan Union, UAC is a student-run organization with 15 committees that run activities and events around campus.

Does your student group plan or engage in charitable projects? If so, they may be eligible for a $700 Forever Go Blue grant! Applications are due on Friday, April 20th.

This November marks the 31st annual Blood Battle between the University of Michigan and Ohio State University. This competition extends the athletic rivalry beyond the field, as students, faculty and staff donate pints of blood to save lives. This year, the competition begins on Nov.1 and ends on Nov. 16, and we are hoping to exceed last year's tremendous success.

You can make a difference! One donation has the potential to save up to three lives. During last year's Blood Battle victory over Ohio State, the Wolverines collected 2,628 pints, and, in total, enough blood was collected to possibly benefit over 15,000 people. 

Depression affects approximately 1 in 10 adults in the United States, according to the CDC.

Thursday, October 10 is National Depression Screening Day, and in support, several U-M programs are offering U-M faculty, staff and students free online and in-person confidential mental health screenings for depression.

Every year during Welcome Week, the Center for Campus Involvement welcomes about 4,000 students to campus with ESCAPADE.

Blood supply reserves are at their lowest levels in 15 years. The American Red Cross needs strong donor turnout to help replenish low blood supplies and to boost reserves for the upcoming holidays. Donors of all blood types are needed, especially those with an RH negative factor.

Student Life employs more than 4000 students each year in temporary, part-time and work-study positions. Student Life positions offer competitive pay, locations across campus, hours to fit busy schedules, convenience, skill development, opportunities to advance, skills to build your resume, and the chance to develop lifelong friendships.

Conversation Circles are a volunteer program sponsored by the English Language Institute (ELI) which was started more than thirty years ago to promote intercultural exchange and to provide international students and scholars at U-M with opportunities to practice English in an informal, casual setting. In each Conversation Circle, a small group of non-native speakers of English (up to 6 people) are paired with a native-English-speaking volunteer for a weekly hour-long conversation.
