Student Life

As you may be aware, U-M is transitioning away from CTools. (All CTools course sites have already moved to Canvas.) The university is now in the process of moving all projects sites off of CTools by early 2018. Here's what you need to do.

UTransition is a series of college preparation workshops for students with any type of disability or chronic health condition. Workshops will be held at the Ann Arbor Center for Independent Living (CIL). Anyone interested in participating should complete this registration form. 

On April 15, 2014, the University of Michigan Office of Student Conflict Resolution (OSCR) will host a symposium and dialogue on restorative practices from 1-5 p.m.  The purpose of the symposium and dialogue is to introduce campus and community allies to the philosophy and applicability of restorative practices.  In lieu of a traditional panel, the event will include break-out dialogue sessions on restorative practices in different sectors (schools, courts, universities, community, etc.).

The Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs would like to invite you and your friends to stop by the office and kick off the month of November with their first Fun Friday!  There will be snacks, fun activities, and many opportunities to meet new people.  Even if you can only make it for a short amount of time, feel free to stop by and enjoy Friday with MESA students and staff members!

If you, or students you know, were unable to get tickets to President Obama's speech tomorrow, you can still attend an event near and dear to this administration's heart. The Michigan Daily and Student Life are co-sponsoring a Q&A Panel on the new University of Michigan Policy on Sexual Misconduct by Students

Wed. 4/2 from 4:00-5:30 pm in the Kuenzel Room of the Michigan Union

This spring, U-M students, faculty and staff submitted a diverse collection of educational apps, medical apps, games and map apps for the Spring 2013 Mobile Apps Challenge. Of this talented pool, four exciting winners have been chosen: M-Cam, Stay in the Blue, myBuddy, and hyperPhoto. 

If you are a U-M student not enrolled in classes for the Spring 2014 semester, you are eligible to purchase a Continuing Student membership. 

The first event in the Social Justice Speaker Series will be held Tuesday, September 18th at 6:00pm in the Michigan League Ballroom and feature speaker Michael Benitez, Jr. In partnership with Latino Heritage Month the keynote will address leadership, activism, and communal formation in 21st Century America.

Do not miss out on a calendar of events centering and celebrating Arab history, culture, food, dance performances, poetry, art, and, most importantly, a campus-wide celebration of Arab diaspora in the U.S. The theme for this year's Arab Heritage Month is "Yallah N3eesh: Sustaining the Arab Diaspora in the U.S." "Yallah N3eesh" means "let live" in Arabic and is a song by famous singer Um Khaltoum (pictured on the bottom left of the calendar).

Take a break and relieve some stress with these events brought to you by the Center for Campus Involvement!
