The road to medical/health professional or law school programs involves academic success, skill-building, and community service, but the path can differ for each individual. What kinds of academic experiences help you grow and learn at the level you need to be competitive? Where can you find volunteering, shadowing, and professional opportunities to help you fully explore your interest? How can you develop a timeline for applying to programs? Our Honors workshops are an outstanding way to gather information. There are several dates and topics to choose from based on where you are in your pre-professional journey. We look forward to seeing you there!

Space is limited so please drop your registration if you find that you are unable to attend.
If you require accommodations to attend a pre-professional event, please email ask.honors@umich.edu Thank you!

Are you interested in –
• Connecting with students from across campus while elevating your leadership learning?
• Exploring the possibilities in the BLI?

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 GROPWE 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.

‘The Telling’ is an interactive storytelling night that highlights themes of identity, self-exploration, and belonging through creative self-expression. Guests will listen to fellow attendees share 'haunting' stories about their personal identity simply through telling their story or any creative format they choose (like poetry, drawing, song, short-film, etc). Attendees are encouraged to wear spooky makeup, costumes, or pajamas (not required)! There will be pizza, cider, donuts, candy, and other spooky activities to enjoy. Additionally, if you're willing to share your tale of identity, please fill out this sign-up form! Come to listen, come to share, and come to connect with the chilling souls that surround you!

A night where identity takes a haunting form...

The Psychology STAR Scholars Program (Scholarship, Transferable skills, Academia & Research) is an important educational initiative that helps students build the research and professional skills essential for success in both college and today’s knowledge-based economy. STAR offers students hands-on experience, structured mentoring, and pathways to academic and professional advancement. Our virtual Fall Seminar Series is open to all students. This series is led by our STAR Scholars mentors and faculty director, Dr. Cindy Lustig.

The Political Ecology Workshop (PEW) is an interdisciplinary space for scholars at all career stages with interests in political ecology and related critical approaches to the study of environment-society interactions. PEW brings together a range of divisions across campus, including Anthropology, History, Environment and Sustainability, Political Science, Sociology, and all Area Studies departments and programs. We have founded a collaborative, multidisciplinary community with a shared investment questioning how environments and societies are co-produced and the ways in which power and inequality impact the dynamics and understandings of this co-production. We have run PEW as an RIW for two years and all the workshops have been possible from our committed participants from diverse fields. This year, we intend to develop our membership further by inviting scholars from broader fields and promoting PEW on listservs across campus.

PEW supports graduate student development, including for earlier-stage students seeking interdisciplinary conversations as they develop environment-society research projects and later-stage students seeking to incorporate political ecology into their work. PEW emphasizes dedicated time for graduate students to receive feedback on their work and facilitates faculty-student mentorship. It allows students to access a range of critical environmental studies perspectives they might not have encountered through coursework or departmental activities, and to grow from the feedback and insight of faculty and peers who share this commitment to interdisciplinary scholarship and professional development.

Please join the Department of Germanic Languages & Literatures for a series of film screenings (shown in German with English subtitles). All films are held in North Quad 2435 with pizza served at 6pm and films beginning at 6:30pm, unless otherwise noted.

These Info Sessions will discuss details about the Global Intercultural Experience for Undergraduates (GIEU) program for Sp/Su 2026. It will cover info about the program structure including the pre-departure requirements, academic component, and local site information.

This special lecture by Samy Ayoub, and moderated by Aaron Rock-Singer, will argue that legal pluralism in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Egypt was sustained by institutional structures, procedural norms, and Islamic legal practice under Khedival rule. Far from resisting pluralism, Ottoman-era Islamic legal practice facilitated the incorporation of other legal traditions, including the adjudication of Jewish communities’ affairs, making them integral to the functioning of the legal order. This coexistence, however, was destabilized with the establishment of the secular national courts in 1883, which progressively asserted universal jurisdiction and ultimately subsumed the entire legal sphere.

Samy Ayoub (University of Texas Austin) specializes in Islamic law, modern Middle East law, and law and religion in contemporary Muslim societies. He focuses on issues concerning the interaction between religion and law, and the role of religion in contemporary legal and socio-political systems within a global comparative perspective. He has pursued training in both law and Islamic Studies in Egypt, Scotland, and in the United States.

For the 2025–26 academic year, Mediterranean Topographies (Meditopos) will be organized around the theme of home in the Mediterranean, which broadly includes domestic and private spaces. This interdisciplinary research workshop will explore domestic and private spaces not only as sites of personal and cultural significance but also as zones of political tension, displacement, surveillance, and resistance. How do personal experiences intersect with histories of migration, conflict, surveillance, and belonging? What does it mean to make, find, leave, or lose a home in times of political and climate instability? We will consider the meanings and materialities of ‘home’ across the Mediterranean region. From physical structures to affective attachments, we’ll explore how home is imagined, inhabited, and contested from diverse disciplinary perspectives. The workshop draws from multiple departments and programs at Michigan, including Comparative Literature, History, Anthropology, Middle East Studies, Romance Languages and Literatures, History of Art, Slavic Studies, English, and Classics, aiming to create a collaborative space linking across departments. We hope to foster interdisciplinary conversations about intimate, political, and symbolic dimensions of home in past and present Mediterranean contexts.

Hey Honors Students! Do you love reading? We hope you will join us in reading and discussing any, or all, of our 2025-2026 Honors Reads selections!
This past summer, the Honors Program read The Volcano Daughters, which repeated the mantra “The Word Makes the World.” This curious phrase inspired us to consider how writing and storytelling not only reflect culture and individual experience, they actively shape it. Through this theme, we hope to:
Explore how authors channel history, identity and lived experience through words.
Discuss how texts and the act of writing can expand our perspectives and foster understanding.
