Retired Congressman John Dingell spoke with students last week about the constitution, constitutional amendments and the political process during an event to recognize Constitution Day. UM-Dearborn announced a new partnership with Dingell last spring that provides students and faculty with unparalleled opportunities to work with Dingell to understand, document and share his legacy as the longest-serving member in the history of the U.S. Congress.

Record enrollment

Enrollment at University of Michigan-Dearborn has reached an all-time record of more than 9,300 students for fall 2015. Total enrollment grew by 115 to 9,308 students.

Customized learning

The College of Arts, Sciences, and Letters has launched a new program this fall for undergraduate students interested in a customized learning experience. The Individual Program of Study is designed for motivated students who plan to specialize in an area of study not currently offered as a major by the college. Students will work with a faculty member to design a bachelor’s degree that meets their needs and the university’s general education requirements for graduation.

Education formations

Jacob Napieralski, associate professor of geology, and 13 students explored the geologic formations of Cyprus this summer as part of the university's geology field course. Napieralski called the experience "the ultimate capstone course," in which students traveled to excavation sites, explored sea caves and learned about the history and culture of the Mediterranean island.

Remembering Dr. Rahman

Associate professor and activist Ahmad Rahman is remembered for challenging assumptions in the classroom and in the community. Rahman died September 21 at the age of 64.
