Puentes 2023 - 2024 View Other Sessions

The mission of Puentes is to create an equitable space that centers the intersectional identities of incoming and current Latinx graduate students and allies across schools, departments, and disciplines at U-M. We strive to foster a space of community, healing, and empowerment, where students feel supported and equipped to advocate for their needs and the needs of their community during and beyond their academic tenure at U-M. We hope to see you at our upcoming events.
