Wednesday,April 13. 2016 // The Statement
43,625 students attend the University of
Michigan. Only 12 are Students of the Year.
Nominated by their peers and mentors, this
small handful of students has been chosen for
a multitude of reasons. An ability to exceed
in both sport and academics, a commitment
to community service, a resilience in the face
of personal struggle — these are just a few
of the qualities that the students that popu-
late these pages possess. But they, like every
student, are also much more than 750-word
profiles. They are dreamers, friends, inspira-
tions. They make mistakes (but maybe less
than others). They are complex, dynamic
humans. They are the leaders and best.
Meet the Students of the Year. They’re
happy to meet you.

“The job is to ask questions—it always was—and
to ask them as inexorably as I can. And to face
the absence of precise answers with a certain
humility.”
— Playwright ARTHUR MILLER, who graduated from the University in 1938,
on the importance of asking questions..

“The logic of an occupation, I think, is if you feel
voiceless about a burning issue of great, great
importance, and the institutions have failed you, the
only way to get leverage for your voice is to occupy
their space in order to get their attention.”
—Activist TOM HAYDEN, who graduated from the University in the early 60s,
and was a major figure of the civil rights movement.
“The worst crime of all would be that a mistake
happens and no one talks about it or learns from
it. So, as unsettling as it is to think about, these
mistakes, complications and unexpected outcomes
get discussed openly and everyone hopefully gains
something from it.
—Dr. SANJAY GUPTA, who graduated from the Medical School in 1993.
