Welcome to
Michigan!
I
t is with great pleasure and joy that I welcome you all to the University of Michigan, home to one of the most diverse and active campuses in the world. You are about to embark on a four year journey where you will explore the many treasures that Michigan has to offer. From the rich history that spans over generations of eager young students to the over 1,000 student organizations, there is a sea of bright minds working to make Michigan a more vibrant place.
This is where you come in: in the next few months, you will be prompted by plenty of diverse, dynamic, and engaging student organizations inviting you to join them in their mission. I cannot stress enough the richness of the opportunities and experiences that you will be exposed to by heeding these calls. Getting Involved at Michigan is more than just an opportunity to boost your resume, it is a chance to shape and mold your University experience. It is your chance to make the University of Michigan the Michigan you want it to be, and expand your perspective past what you would have ever thought possible. Don’t doubt the potential you have to make a difference here at this great University. Talk to some friends in your hall and start a group on campus, bring a cool event idea you have to a mass meeting you attend, or even start your own initiative that you think can improve student life. No matter what you do, remember that you are a part of Michigan now, and your actions have the capacity to influence this community and your fellow Michigan Wolverines. It’s your time at Michigan. Define it; create it; get involved! Go Blue.
