It’s been more than a week and it still hasn’t really sunk in that I’m a graduate of the University of Michigan-Flint. Graduation was such a surreal experience for me. It never really hit me that I was sitting on stage with faculty and staff of the university, prepared to make a speech in front […]

With all of this cold weather lately, it’s been hard to muster up the desire to go outside for any reason other than classes and work. However, there are some opportunities not too far from campus where you can stay out of the chill and have a good time, like checking out a show at […]

We’re so close! With just a few more days of exams left, the winter break is almost here. Unless you were one of the lucky few to have no exams and you finished last week (I didn’t have any and I’ve loved it). With at least 2 weeks standing between you and Winter 2014, how will […]

The end is near! With just 8 days until the end of the semester, we’re going in to crunch time. The Campus Activities Board is bringing you a great way to relieve some stress with their final event of the semester – Casino Night! Join CAB tomorrow night from 8PM-11:30PM in the Happenings Room of […]

A break from school – finally!  I won’t tell you how long I’ve been counting down the days until this break arrives (maybe since early October…). As we get ready for this brief vacation, what kinds of things will you be doing? Turkey Day Thanksgiving always makes me think of tradition. There are usually more […]

Shout out to the class of 2014! The countdown to May 4, 2014 has begun (that’s in just 169 days in case you were wondering), and as the day gets closer and closer, the number of people asking you “what’s next?” gets higher and higher. If you’re like me, you’ve had senioritis since Winter 2013 […]

What are you doing this week for Halloween?  If you’re celebrating one of my favorite times of year, there are many events being hosted both on and off campus this week as we wrap up October. Halloween Festival & Costume Contest The Campus Activities Board (CAB) is hosting a Halloween Festival and Costume Contest tonight […]

One of the many perks of being a college student is a college student discount (who doesn’t want to save a few dollars here and there?). Last week was the first of University Outreach’s My Flint events, Taste of Downtown. During this event, we were able to break up in to groups and explore seven […]

Hey, guys!  My name is Erika Trigg and I was born and raised in Saginaw, MI. I’m a senior in the Honors Program majoring in Communication, and I’m super excited to be graduating in the spring (whoo Class of 2014!). I’ve had some of the most amazing experiences while being here at UM-Flint and I […]

While many people utilize the week of spring break as a chance to flee Michigan’s cold weather and soak up the sun somewhere else, a group of more than 70 students stayed in town to give back locally through University Outreach’s Alternative Spring Break (ASB) March 4-8, volunteering more than 175 individual service days. Each […]
