A few times a year, Human Connections organizes GETs (Global Engagement Trips) for student groups, tourists, and other visitors eager to gain a better understanding of the local culture in Nayarit, Mexico. This particular GET group, from Northern Illinois University, participated in a week long program centered around social entrepreneurship, NGO management, and sustainable development.

Through KU’s Project for Innocence, Floyd Bledsoe was exonerated and released from prison after 16 years for a crime he did not commit.
KU law students had worked on the case since 2006 and advocated for new DNA testing that showed Bledsoe’s innocence.
Bledsoe visited and spoke with a law class about his experience.

HISP 655 Vernacular Architecture students meet at Bostwick House for an 'outside the classroom' session
Research Project Engineer Jim Smith, center, and undergraduate students from naval architecture and marine engineering prepare to begin the research at the main model basin at the Aaron Friedman Marine Hydrodynamics Laboratory on the Main Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Thursday, February 2, 2023.
The students are working on research titled “Design and Evaluation of Naval Vessels for Arctic Operations” and is for the Naval Engineering Education Consortium under Associate Professor Kevin Maki. Professor Maki is the director of the MHL.
The research involves using 7,200 wiffle balls to simulate sea ice conditions.

This illustrates how big one is compared to Egyptian pyramids.
If the pyramid is reduced to the model size shown, a grain of salt represents how big a person is compared to it.

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.

In class, we began by reviewing posters from historical and contemporary social justice movements. We talked about how ideas are represented through text and image, in addition to discussing specific design choices. A video interview with printmaker and social justice artist Favianna Rodriguez provided additional context for thinking about our own projects.

Sophia is talking about the dairy-free chocolate chip bars and rainbow window star she made she made for her two projects outside of Home Ec class.
(All of the girls in the class are homeschooled.)
I had each of the girls in the Home Ec class I teach make a short presentation about the two special projects they made outside of class.

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.

Earlier in the week, Olivia watched SCUBA divers at the aquarium in Duluth feed the fish. We talked about the difference in SCUBA gear - from this old suit to what divers wear now. She thought this suit would be "heavy" to wear compared to what the divers wear now.

Detail of molten aluminum as Sabrina Huynh, an undergraduate in materials science and engineering, prepares to pour the metal into a mold under the direction of professor Tim Chambers in 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 floor of the lab where the pour will happen has a layer of sand on it to protect it in case of spills.
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.
