These events are intending to help new and continuing transfer students connect with others who have an interest in the Psych or BCN majors.

The first step in creating your organization is attending New Student Organization Orientation. This orientation will cover the basics of student orgs, Maize Pages org registration and authorized signer processes, and answer questions you have about setting up your org. At least one representative of your student org will need to attend orientation for your org to begin registration.

If you are unable to attend an orientation date, please email neworgsupport@umich.edu to set up an individual appointment.

We know that mental health concerns are only increasing amongst college students around the country, with many students at UM experiencing anxiety, depression or other mental health challenges on a daily basis. Yet, mental health is so often an unspoken part of the study abroad experience. The Center for Global and Intercultural Study (CGIS), Active Minds, and International Programs in Engineering (IPE) are partnering for this presentation / panel discussion event in hopes to increase pre-departure awareness of this important topic.


This panel is geared toward our students going abroad and the educators supporting their travels. We will both provide resources and advice, as well as have study abroad alumni share their personal experiences.

Change it Up! is a workshop on creating respectful and inclusive communities through bystander intervention. We look at how our own experiences shape our worldview and how we can intervene in harmful situations with your friends, in your classes, with your family, and where you live.

All incoming undergraduate students, including transfer students and off-campus residents, are required to attend both Change it Up! and Relationship Remix. If you are a transfer student and/or living off-campus, you are welcome to select any session that works for your schedule.

Keiko Ihara was one of the first women in Japan to become a top racing driver. Navigating such a male-dominated environment was not easy, but she proved her critics wrong and rose to the top of her field. She achieved the highest scores as a female driver in the World Endurance Championship, also became the first female winner in Le Mans series.
In June 2018, she became the youngest and first female independent director of Japanese carmaker Nissan: a significant move in a country where four out of five listed companies are reported not to have a single woman on their boards.
Tea, coffee, and snacks provided!

Readers & Best was created in the Summer of 2014 as a joint collaboration between the Ginsberg Center’s Literacy Initiatives and the Athletic Department’s Let’s Go Do program. The goal was to provide opportunities for students across campus to come together to support reading in local schools through one-time visits. We provide the monthly curriculum for each visit, which includes a book and activity specific to the grade level of the classroom. The general Readers & Best visit requires a 3 hour time block from student volunteers. This includes the brief orientation, travel and the time at the school. Typically, we offer 10 slots for schools participating in the Readers and Best curriculum. The visit is led by a site leader and up to 6 additional students (since we can fit 7 people in a van). Volunteers are at the school for an hour and a half, so each volunteer reads to 2 classrooms for 45 minutes each. The Ginsberg Center provides transportation to and from the schools.

Four Washtenaw County-based queer facilitators and the University of Michigan Spectrum Center have come together to bring you a weekend series about LGBTQ relationship skill building. It has been our experience that some key foundational relationship skills could be strengthened within queer circles. We are concerned about and impacted by self-reproducing, oppressive structures which normalize interpersonal mistreatment in our communities. It is our hope that this curriculum will build up practical skills for treating each other and ourselves well, and ultimately result in stronger relationships and communities with less violence, coercion, and abuse. This is meant to be a peer-to-peer learning environment, and as facilitators we aim to create a space where we can all learn from each other. We invite you to come learn with us.
Participants must be able to commit to the entire workshop series, including part 1 on Saturday, November 17th and part 2 on Saturday, December 1st.
