203 years ago today, U-M was founded. This year we’re asking our #Wolverines to mask up and celebrate our anniversary by showing us their best maize and blue face coverings ahead of the public health-informed fall 2020 semester. campusblueprint.umich.edu
Many @UMichStudents rely on campus computing sites to access specialized software and faster computers with higher processing speeds. A new laptop loaner program will allow @UMichTech to bring these computing sites to them this fall. myumi.ch/NxzjV pic.twitter.com/MCrHlOD2Rq
As a part of the Wolverine Culture of Care, we are distributing #COVID19 safety kits to all students returning to campus. @UMichStudents can volunteer now to help distribute these kits during move-in and through the first week of class. myumi.ch/VP1Zz pic.twitter.com/A31PR4ftpr
