Community
Involvement

Giving time to projects that support learning, service, and stronger community connections.

Community involvement keeps me grounded and reminds me that meaningful work often begins with practical acts of service.

Learning by working together.

At the U-M Campus Farm, I helped plant cucumber and zucchini and harvest garlic. The experience combined teamwork, sustainability, and the satisfaction of contributing to a shared purpose.

Supporting community events.

I supported programming at the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum and participated in the UMSI Transfer Student Event panel, sharing my experience with students navigating a new academic environment.

Creating pathways for connection.

Participating as an MConnect pioneer allowed me to contribute to a growing network of transfer students and help strengthen their connection to the University of Michigan community.

Service is one of the ways I turn care for my community into action.
