OGPS Trainee Engagement Programming
Presented by the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies
Our OGPS Trainee Engagement Programming is designed to support the holistic wellbeing of OGPS Trainees, built around three core pillars:
Wellness & De-Stressing
Take a break from the lab and recharge. These programs focus on wellness, mindfulness, and giving yourself space to breathe and reset.
Community & Connection
Build friendships, have fun, and enjoy being part of the OGPS community. Our events create opportunities to connect across programs and simply enjoy each other’s company.
Skill & Hobby Exploration Discover interests beyond the classroom. Try out new skills or hobbies in a low-pressure, supportive environment. This presents a chance to explore, learn, and grow.

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!

UROP is excited to announce our new Student Success Workshop series! Designed to help with frequently requested topics by students across disciplines, these workshops aim to provide support and guidance as you navigate your academic and professional growth at the University of Michigan. Differing from UROP’s ongoing Skill-Building Workshops, the Student Success Workshops focus on improving overall student success, rather than specific research project skills.

We encourage every student interested in or contemplating an undergraduate degree at the School of Information to attend an information session. You will receive an engaging and comprehensive overview of the program, as well as guidance for the application process. Sessions are hosted on different days and times to accommodate as many students as possible, and you only need to attend one session before you apply.
These information sessions are for Current (Fall 2026) University of Michigan Freshmen.

All SPH Student caregivers, faculty, and staff are invited to bring their families to this Demon Hunter-inspired craft night. We will have pizza, snacks, and juice for the kids. Get ready to color, glitter and glow!

For the past six years, WOCATA has centered and elevated the voices, experiences, and research of BIPOC women and femmes in the academy. Our core research topics and questions include how we—as emerging scholars, community members, and ancestors—might utilize transformative research paradigms; Indigenous epistemologies; Black feminist theorizations; methodologies from Chicanx, Dominicana, and Filipina scholars; or scholarship connected our different diaspora from a place of beauty and joy to sustain hope and optimism for marginalized voices in academia as we struggle for systemic change. Although we are housed within the Marsal Family School of Education at U-M (in particular, the Educational Studies, Higher Education, and Joint English & Education programs), WOCATA’s ever-growing community has interdisciplinary members at many levels—including undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers—across this institution and at many others nationwide.
