ICYMI
There has been a lot of U-M pride on the internet this week, and I’m all about it. In case you missed it: An alumna and writer for the New Yorker attempts to elucidate the magic of being a Wolverine. Plus, Phelps’ 16-week-old son is already destined for Ann Arbor, duh. |

AND ANOTHER ONE
We were also recently ranked among the top 25 universities in the world—yeah, the WORLD—not to mention the No.1 public university. Honestly, all this #winning is getting exhausting (jk).

everywhere | all september | childhood cancer awareness month
Sometimes when you’re a ~young LSA alumna~, you do very cool things like help organize a campaign aimed at blocking out pediatric cancer the summer before you start grad school. S/O to said alumna, Taylor Sullivan (’16), for spreading the word that September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month, and C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital wants to make it count. FYI, cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease for children in the United States. U-M leads the nation in an unprecedented approach to personalized oncology, and you can support that cause by purchasing some v. cute swag, sharing on social media, or making a donation. Learn more about how you can do your part to #BlockOutCancer! |

What is the most popular LSA major? (Click answer below.)
|
|
|
The vast majority (74%) of you thought the first organized sport on campus was track and field. Don’t feel too bad—I probably would’ve said the same thing. Only 7% of you fell for football, which means a measly 19% of you correctly guessed cricket. And then you went and drank a spot of tea. |
