Dear U-M undergraduate students,
We are excited to welcome you back after the break - whether you’ll be participating this winter term on campus or from afar. As you plan your return to campus or Ann Arbor for another academic term, there are several public health best practices and university expectations to make you aware of for a safe and healthy term.
A short movie about going to school at the University of Michigan and the various tuition help available.
MHappy Month is a celebration of the new ideas, events and paradigms that move us towards a future where wellbeing of both the planet and its citizens are realized. Many campus events tend to focus on problems—the War in Vietnam, global warming, for example. Too much bad news leaves many of us immobilized and unable to act effectively. While we will absolutely fight to overcome the injustices and prejudice in our communities, we also need a vision of the future that sustains us.
This event affords students the opportunity to study and break in a supportive, relaxing, and welcoming space. Whether it is your first time navigating finals or you are a seasoned pro, this time of year can be stressful. Come to Trotter for 72-Hours of snacks, support, and activities and let us help you succeed!
During 2015 the Greek Community at Michigan will be celebrating 170 years of providing students with rich experiences in brotherhood, sisterhood, leadership, and service.
