Student Resources

The Michigan in Washington (MIW) program offers an opportunity each year for 20 undergraduates from any major to spend a semester (Fall or Winter) in Washington, D.C. Students combine coursework with an internship that reflects their particular area of interest (such as American politics, international studies, history, the arts, public health, economics, the media, the environment, science, and technology).

The University Career Center's Public Service Intern Program (PSIP) prepares undergraduate students to obtain summer internships in Washington, DC, educates them to build career development skills, connects them with alumni mentors, and informs them about career options.

The Office of National Scholarships and Fellowships (ONSF) supports multiple national, international, and U-M-based opportunities that champion Democracy, Civic Empowerment, and Global Engagement. This includes the Obama Voyager Scholarship, the Truman Scholarship, the Wallenberg Fellowship, and the Gaither Junior Fellows Program.

Creating and maintaining a respectful and welcoming environment for all is a university priority. To that end, Campus Climate Support staff members focus on addressing concerns that may create harm to members of our community based on their identity.

WSN is a student-led, peer support program developed by Central Student Government leaders in collaboration with Counseling and Psychological Services.

The peer-facilitated groups meet weekly and provide a place to discuss day-to-day stressors, build trust, and connect with students from across campus.
