Life-Changing Education
Transforming futures
Education has the power to transform everything it touches. It builds understanding across differences. It opens doors of opportunity. It equips individuals with the knowledge and skills they need to reach their full potential. U-M aspires to make these experiences available to everyone, confronting the barriers to access and creating a future where all learners will thrive.

We can take on the defining environmental challenges of our time, from rising temperatures to extreme weather, biodiversity loss to fragile food systems and water quality, outdated transportation and energy technologies, and more.
