Students@UM-Flint

Well, this is weird. My first summer staying in Flint the entire summer. In the months leading to summer, I was extremely excited. Finally, living on my own, having a full-time steady job, and a slight feeling of the grown up world. As many of my friends complained about the struggle of having to go […]

My fellow inductees and I are committed to improving public health in Flint and Genesee County by way of health education. It is a great start on my journey within public health. Anyone who is a health education major or minor can join. As Dr. Parker said to us on our induction day, this is […]

This week I participated in the 2nd Annual Red Cross Blood Drive here on campus! It was coordinated by the graduate students enrolled in Dr. Lisa M. Lapeyrouse’s Health Communications course (HED 545). The Masters in Health Education and also Masters in Public Health students collaborated with the Great Lakes Region American Red Cross to […]

Last week was such a busy week!  Especially on Wednesday because after work I went to the International Taste Fest. Seeing that I work in the International Center, I have had the opportunity to see the Taste Fest come together piece by piece. Through the day, I would see flags come in and out the […]

Yes you read that correctly.  It’s me, Super Junior. My friend introduced me to the term and now it has become a part of me. I go by Super Junior because every time I tell people that it is my 4th year in college, their faces are overcome with joy and excitement as they high […]

School is right around the corner!  Hopefully everyone is ready.  I certainly am!  My name is Janelle Manuel and this will be my fourth year in college and second year at UM-Flint.  I transferred here in Fall 2012 and am thankful of my decision everyday. When I first got here I was very apprehensive about […]
