K-12 and Community Outreach
Great universities reflect and incorporate elements of the vast world beyond their perimeters. The University of Michigan actively reaches out to communities, to extol the virtues of higher education and seek prospective students, to serve by sharing knowledge and expertise, and to provide U-M students the opportunity to grow and learn by service. These are some of the service and outreach initiatives that are based in the schools and colleges of the University.
