The University of Michigan faculty and students benefit from programs and engagement in Detroit, the city where U-M was founded, as it enables them the chance to see a different perspective of the community in which they live, work, and study. The partnership between U-M and Detroit also provides mutual benefits to the city and University through service, education, research, and cultural exchange. To assist with these efforts, U-M is piloting a Detroit Transportation Grant Program. This program is designed for U-M Ann Arbor student organizations and/or faculty-directed projects or classes engaging in the City of Detroit, with the goal of reducing the transportation barrier for Detroit engagement. This will hopefully enable expanded partnerships and greater impact.
