From finding your way around campus to meeting new people, exploring opportunities and getting involved, the first week is about more than just finding your classrooms.

We're excited to see what our students discover, accomplish and become part of this semester.

Students had the chance to explore opportunities across campus yesterday at the UofM Opportunity Expo. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿฏ

From career resources and campus services to internships and involvement opportunities, the Expo gave students a chance to ask questions, make connections and learn more about what is available to them outside the classroom.

College of Arts and Sciences students were also able to learn more about opportunities like the Mellon Humanities Internship Program, along with other resources designed to support their academic and professional goals.

We're halfway through the first week of classes, but there's still plenty to discover in CAS!

During his recent spring leave, Philosophy Professor Dr. Daniel Smith traveled to Mexico City to present his research at the North American Schelling Society. While there, he had the chance to see the Teotihuacan Pyramids with former student Bernardo.

Fun fact: Bernardo's grandfather was the archaeologist who first discovered the pyramids!
