November promises to be another exciting month with lots of fun-filled activities! We are offering a large variety of events, so find what suits you, and plan ahead.

November is a month of high stress for students since midterms/papers are due this month and Thanksgiving approaches faster than we expect. Remember to schedule some relaxation time. Take care of yourself this month and we’ll see you soon!

November is an exciting time at the University of Michigan. Fall is in full swing, Thanksgiving break promises turkey and stuffing, and the end of the semester is just around the corner!

October was a great month for Mentorship. We hope you were able to join us at Three Cedar’s Farm for our annual cider mill trip. Faculty and Staff mentors got to know each other better over lunch, and everyone

came together at the [How Not to Waste Your] First Summer at Michigan workshop! We celebrated the end of the month with our annual Stressbuster sand Study Skills event. (I hope everyone liked the yummy cupcakes!)

Fall at Michigan!

October Highlights

After the success of last year, Mentorship held another

“First Summer Workshop” get help mentees think

ahead about their upcoming summer plans. We had

presentations from UROP (Undergraduate Research

Opportunities), CGIS (Center for Global and Intercultur-

al Study), Semester in Detroit, and ICSPR

(Interuniversity Consortium for Political and Social Re-

search). We also distributed pamphlets for other oppor-

tunities/organizations. Some included: UM Biological

Station, New England Literature Program, North Ameri-

can Summer Service Team, Leadershape, D-SIP

(Development Summer Internship Project), Camp Da-

vis, Camp Kesem, Semester at Sea, and Summer in

NYC. This summer will be here before you know it!

Happy planning!

At the annual Stressbusters event, Mentorship and

Transfer Connections collaborated to bring students to-

gether for an evening of stress-relief. There were mas-

sages, chair yoga, craft projects, and delicious food/

cupcakes from Jefferson Market. Students also had the

opportunity to receive academic advice about tutoring

centers on campus, and were able to meet with a nutri-

tionist about staying healthy. Many students and faculty/

staff left the event feeling much more stress-free!
