Global Wolverines is an event series for students traveling abroad during the summer. The aim of the events is to provide students with a foundation essential for having successful international experiences. Events include workshops, a seminar, and cultural and social programs that take place over the course of the Winter semester.

This annual lecture is named for three U-M faculty members—Chandler Davis, Clement Markert, and Mark Nickerson—who in 1954 were called to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee. All invoked constitutional rights and refused to answer questions about their political associations. The three were suspended from the University with subsequent hearings and committee actions resulting in the reinstatement of Markert, an assistant professor who eventually gained tenure, and the dismissal of Davis, an instructor, and Nickerson, a tenured associate professor.For more information, please visit the event site here.

Career and Professional Development Events Hosted by OGPS during the Winter 2023 semester

Although open to all, this series is designed for STEM graduate students coming from communities underrepresented in STEM. We will focus our discussions on issues research has identified as uniquely challenging for students from marginalized backgrounds, including conflict resolution while navigating power dynamics, bringing your whole self to STEM, and creating action plans for supporting yourself and others in STEM.
Each meeting will include an opportunity for students to share their own experiences and process those experiences in light of the research on STEM equity and learn skills to help manage these challenges.

The Black Menaces are a coalition of students from various universities across the nation fighting to empower marginalized communities through social media.


Through social media platforms like Tik Tok, Instagram, and Twitter they highlight how PWIs (Predominantly White Institutions) do not create safe spaces for marginalized students. The Black Menaces highlight overt and covert racism, homophobia, xenophobia, sexism, and more through questions. They share the stories and experiences of any and all marginalized students.

As the Black Menaces, they seek to make all necessary changes at universities across the nation to ensure the mental, emotional, and physical safety of all students. Through reforming the curriculum, systems, and management change will occur to make equitable standards.

Join the Digital Studies Institute for a panel conversation with the Black Menaces leadership team Nate Byrd, Kennethia Dorsey, Kylee Shepherd, Sebastian Stewart-Johnson, Rachel Weaver with Professor Apryl Williams to learn about the creation of the Black Menaces movement and to discuss the use of social media as a tool for activism on college campuses.
