I hope that this missive finds each and every one of you both healthy and happy. It has certainly been an incredibly trying year.
Having just passed the one-year anniversary of the cessation of most face-to-face instruction at the university, I can honestly say that I could never have imagined that we would all still be working and teaching remotely one year later.

Giving Blue Day: On March 10, UM-Dearborn participated in its seventh Giving Blueday, a 24-hour celebration of giving. Things looked a little different this year with the popular Giving Brewday converted into the virtual #GivingBrew Alumni Challenge. The First Gen student organization had a great day, raising more than $4,000 from 80 donors. During Giving Blueday 2021, the university saw more than 250 alumni and friends give over $30,000 to support UM-Dearborn student success.
Join us the second week of each month as we feature a UM-Dearborn alumnus or faculty presentation in our Alumni Engagement Speaker Series. The series highlights Wolverine thought leaders sharing career advice, innovative ideas, leadership lessons, and more.
