Hey guys, I've heard about UMICH's 'M Community' and want to get involved. Can anyone share more details about it? Like, what does it involve and how can one get involved?
The University of Michigan's 'M Community' is a program that brings first-year students together through a week-long series of events just before the start of the Fall semester. It is designed to help these students forge early connections, get familiar with the campus, and imbibe the spirit of the University before classes actually begin.
It involves a number of activities - meet and greets, workshops, group discussions, social outings, and more. These are designed to help students explore diverse perspectives, engage in meaningful dialogues with their peers, faculty, staff, and learn about the wealth of resources and opportunities available at UMICH.
In terms of how to get involved, first-year students usually receive details about this program in their UMICH orientation materials, which include instructions on how to sign up. You typically would need to sign up to participate before you arrive on campus for the Fall semester. Making sure to check your university email regularly over the summer will also keep you updated on any new developments regarding the 'M Community' program.
Remember, this program is built to be a launching pad for your university journey. It provides a tremendous opportunity to build social connections, learn about UMICH, and start your first year strong.
