Ronald Stockton, professor of political science, led a graveyard walk around Woodmere Cemetery in southwest Detroit on Sunday, September 20. Stockton led participants through several sections of the cemetery—including those focused on the great age of Detroit, the Civil War, and Jewish, Muslim, Albanian and Bosnian grave sites—discussing the historic, religious, ethnic and cultural qualities of each.

Keeping score

University of Michigan-Dearborn students tend to spend less on their education and earn more than their peers after graduation according to the Department of Education’s new college scorecard.

Drive time

UM-Dearborn has partnered with Zipcar to offer a new car-sharing program to faculty, staff and students. Two cars are available in The Union at Dearborn parking lot 24 hours a day, with memberships starting at $15 for the first year.

Building up

Three College of Education, Health, and Human Services faculty members are going beyond researching the effects of community building in Detroit's Osborn neighborhood—they're joining in the efforts.

Exponential growth

Solutions didn't come easy for students enrolled in this summer's National Research Experience for Undergraduate Program—and that was the point.
