Discover and Reflect: Museum Series

About the Discover and Reflect: Museum Series 

The University of Michigan's theme year of Democracy, Civic Empowerment, and Global Engagement, highlights the vital role of community in sustaining democracy. A core part of democracy is deepening our understanding of both our own history and culture, as well as those of the people around us. To foster these connections, the UMSI DEI Office, UMSI Student Life, and the Race+Tech group are organizing a series of field trips, titled Discover and Reflect: Museum Series, which will take us to local museums that bring these stories to life. 


Discover and Reflect: Museum Series seeks to educate students on the varied, complex, and inspiring cultures that make up our diverse community. These trips also underscore the importance of archives and libraries, which are integral to both our curriculum and the preservation of diverse histories. Stay tuned for future museum trips!
