Michigan Housing is excited to welcome members of the University of Michigan and Ann Arbor community for an opportunity to tour Wolverine Village.
This year marks the most students to live on-campus within Michigan Housing in U-M history with the grand opening of Wolverine Village, the university’s newest 2,300 bed and 800+ seat dining hall residential community. Formerly known as the Central Campus Residential Development, Wolverine Village is a new five-building residential community on U-M’s Central Campus and adjacent to the athletic campus.
Daily tours will highlight Wolverine Village and its residence halls, gathering spaces, and community art.
Wolverine Village tours are open to the public and registration is required. Tour capacity is limited while Wolverine Village residence halls are occupied by the U-M student community. Additional tour dates may be added if demand allows for it.

For many soon-to-graduate Ph.D. students, coordinating a dual job search—applying both to academic and non-academic jobs—becomes a reasonable way to expand your options. In this workshop, we will discuss concrete ways to time, strategize, and optimize the tandem job search, seeking to maximize bang for your buck throughout these two intense, labor-intensive processes.

Brought to you by the University Career Center, in partnership with Rackham Graduate School.

PDP Workshop Sessions are part of the PDP assignment for First Year BBAs in BA 100. Students should be sure to review the PDP Canvas site and come to the PDP session with their laptop. Advisors will provide some brief overview and reminders, but the bulk of the workshop will be time for students to work on their PDP and ask advisors any questions as they work on their individualized plan. After attending a workshop, students will schedule a 1:1 advising appointment to talk through their plan with an advisor.

The Arts Initiative is university-wide, and we believe the arts are for everyone. One of our goals is to make creative experiences accessible across all three University of Michigan campuses and beyond by connecting students, faculty, staff, and community members through meaningful artistic opportunities.
Throughout the year, we support hundreds of free or low-cost events, workshops, performances, exhibitions, artist talks, creative wellness programs, and public art experiences. Whether someone has been making art their entire life or is trying something creative for the very first time, there's a place for them here.
We believe that creativity helps us build community, explore new ideas, reduce stress, and connect with one another in meaningful ways. There's no expectation to be an artist when attending our workshops —just come as you are, stay curious, and enjoy the process.

Join the Munger Community by attending events hosted by our Resident Advisors (RAs)! Feel free to select and attend as many events as you would like!

Be sure to watch the video that was linked to you and be prepared to ask questions.

If none of the available times work for you, please email me-aso@umich.edu to find an alternative time to declare.

Mentorship is often framed as a one-way transfer of knowledge, but in reality, it is a dynamic, reciprocal process. Additionally, postdocs and graduate students often serve in a dual capacity with roles as a mentor and mentee. This mentorship retreat examines mentorship as a practice that requires reflection and skill-building from both sides of the relationship. We will talk strategies and best practices about what it means to balance being both a mentor and a mentee in a research environment.

A complimentary breakfast and lunch will be provided.

You’re invited! ARC invites the U-M research community and all interested individuals to our hybrid Fall Open House for a Research Computing Modernization update covering HPC upgrades, storage, and secure computing services. Join us in person or online!

The Student Organization Exploration Fair at the School of Public Health provides both undergraduate and graduate students an excellent opportunity to learn about valuable student organizations - and we want you to be there!

Have you ever considered, even for a moment, applying for a major national scholarship, fellowship, or grant? Does the idea of applying feel daunting? Is it even worth it? Where should you even start?
The Barger Leadership Institute is partnering with the Office of National Scholarships and Fellowships for a workshop on making a scholarship action plan, and how the application process itself can benefit you.
This workshop is open to all University of Michigan undergraduates! Join us for some practical learning and free snacks!

Engendering Respectful Communities (ERC) is a one session workshop that engages graduate students in meaningful dialogue about various forms of sexual misconduct they may encounter in both professional and social spaces, and provides resources for intervention or support in such circumstances.
The primary goal of the workshop is to address complexities experienced by graduate students as they engage in bystander intervention, so that participants gain an increase in awareness of barriers to action and familiarity with strategic planning to overcome them. The workshop also introduces participants to on-campus resources and provides knowledge on how sexual misconduct can unfold in graduate-specific settings.
The ERC workshop uses small-group circles intended to promote active reflection and space to build community. The procedure of circles is introduced at the beginning of the workshop in order to help participants get used to the process, which they do through a circle for introductions and value-sharing for the workshop space. These circles depict various, realistic scenarios related to sexual misconduct within the graduate community. The circle process allows circle members to process the monologues, reflect on complexities with identity and power dynamics within them, name potential barriers to intervention, and think of various ways in which they might respond if faced with similar situations. The circles provide a way to foster collective building of ideas, where participants learn from one another and all input is equally valued. Participants are encouraged to share but can always pass if desired, creating an environment where participation is open but not forced. Due to the participatory nature of the workshop, if you are to arrive more than 20 minutes late, we will ask you to re-register for another workshop session.
If you have any questions about or concerns with taking this workshop, or are in need of an exemption, please contact jhippe@umich.edu or fill out this form. We know some students come to campus having already experienced harm. If you have circumstances that make completing this course challenging, please reach out to the GROWE team. SAPAC GROWE provides exemptions to the ERC workshop (where requirements are set in place) on a case by case basis. The Program Manager will communicate with students requesting exemptions via email and/or meet with students via zoom meetings to discuss their need for exemptions and provide any relevant and necessary resources.
