What if your homework was to learn how to set up a tent?
University Scholars students did just that as they prepared for a field trip through Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, and Nebraska. Students on the trip gain authentic experiences by applying the natural materials they have been studying all semester.

Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little meets with freshman students of Oswald and Self Halls during FYE's Hawkweek, to kickoff the Common Book initiative. Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" was selected for the 2015-16 school year.
KU Common Book is a campus-wide initiative to engage first-year students. A key component of Bold Aspirations, the KU strategic plan, is investing in first-year intellectual experiences. As part of this emphasis, KU Common Book will generate opportunities for shared intellectual experiences that invite analysis, foster critical thinking, and reflect the type of reasoned discourse expected at a university.
First-year students receive the common book at Orientation and are encouraged to read and discuss the book at activities and programs throughout the year. The Common Book was selected by a committee comprised of faculty, staff, and students from nominations generated by the KU campus. Although the program focuses on freshmen and transfer students, the steering committee invites participation from all students, as well as faculty and staff who wish to include the book in their classes and programs.
Human Connections, Mexico promotes ethical tourism in the region, through the interactions it fosters between visitors to Mexico and our local artisan- entrepreneurs. Visitors are invited into the artisans' homes to hear their personal stories and to understand the work behind their craft.

A look into the heated furnace at the MSE Advanced Lab in the Herbert H. Dow Engineering Building on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Friday afternoon, February 17, 2023.
The Advanced Lab is home to MSE 360, a course about structural materials used for building everything from vehicles to buildings and beyond. In the first half of the course, students learn standard alloys before moving into design. MSE 360 is an opportunity to gain experience in both theory and application.

Dow Engineering Building on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Friday afternoon, February 17, 2023. The floor of the lab where the pour will happen has a layer of sand on it to protect it in case of spills.

Members of the MRacing Team cheer as they break the seal during demolding at the Wilson Student Team Project Center on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Thursday evening, February 2, 2023.
The demolding process took hours keeping students at the Wilson until after 10 p.m. The Winter term is always one of the busiest times of year at the Wilson Center as student teams move from theoretical design into production in preparation for competition season.

The Arango Lab has a spin coater that is used to apply uniform thin films to flat glass substrates. An excess amount of a solution containing semi-conductors is placed on the substrate, which is then rotated at high speed in order to spread the fluid by centrifugal force.

Each year Justin Borsato’s Grade 6 and 7 students at Britannia Elementary design, build, and race a mousetrap or balloon-powered car as a way to learn about physics and math concepts.
This project also partners with the UBC Engineering Department, and UBC students volunteer their time over their reading break to mentor Britannia students on basic engineering and physics principles.
Each team had also worked together to brand their carts and create a presentation showcasing their cart’s unique features. Not lacking in creativity, cart names included: Star Cars, Super Mobile and The Flash, The Ugly Duckling and Sabre Toothed Llama.
As part of the Easter-theme Home Ec class, each of the girls received a bunny tangram. There were different patterns and colors for them to choose from.
hundreds of students from Grades 4 to 12 participated in our annual VSB Science Celebration— for elementary students— and the District Science Fair —for secondary students.
Thank you to all the teachers and staff who work tirelessly to organize these events. And to our community partners at Langara College and Science World.
