As students returned for their

first day of classes, The Michigan

Daily stopped by the Diag to gather

some of their thoughts on what

they’re excited for in the new

school year.

LSA Freshman Luis Orozco

said his first few days on campus

have been exciting because of all

the different opportunities here at

the University of Michigan.

“As a freshman, I’m looking

to find my place on campus, you

know, find my own part within

the Michigan community,” Orozco

said. Orozco’s first impressions

of campus have been positive, he

added, but he said there has been a

lot for him to take in.

“A lot of people, a lot of things

to do, a lot of events going on all the

time. It’s kind of overwhelming, but

it’s also manageable, there’s a lot of

helpful people here,” he said.

Sitting in his hammock

between trees on the Diag, LSA

junior Christopher Kulwik said he

appreciated the opportunity to be

returning to the University.

“I’m glad to be back

hammocking in the Diag,” Kulwik

said. “It’s really fun.”

Other benefits to being back on

campus, he added: food.

“I also like finding free food on

campus, because I like free food,”

Kulwik said.

LSA sophomore Phoebe Hopp

said she’s glad to be back at the

University and especially looks

forward to football Saturdays.

“I love football gamedays,

seeing all the maize and blue and

just the atmosphere that comes

along with that,” Hopp said.

In addition, Hopp said she was

ready to get back to the grind and

explore new course material and

classes this year.

“I’m excited for a lot of the

production and screenwriting

classes I get to take this year,”

Hopp said.

LSA sophomore Anna DeVeaux

echoed her sentiment and said

she was ready to undertake new

challenges this year.

“I’m excited to start learning

a new language — I’m starting

Spanish from scratch this year,”

she said.

As the summer has come

to an end, so has a new pilot
youth employment program
called
Summer
16,
which

placed young people in Washt-
enaw County in jobs meant to
give them work experience.

Forty-six young people aged

16 to 24 were placed at vari-
ous
community
businesses,

including the Ann Arbor Area
Community Foundation, the
Ypsilanti Food Co-op and the
University of Michigan.

Shamar Herron, the work-

force development manager for
Washtenaw County, said the
program was highly success-
ful in finding long-term career
opportunities for those par-
ticipating. The program was
initially designed for young
people who have distressed or

disadvantaged
backgrounds,

but Herron said the program
has attracted a diverse array of
participants over time.

The summer work placement

program is a collaborative
project between Washtenaw
County Sheriff’s Office, the
Michigan Works! Association
and the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti
Regional Chamber of Com-
merce.

Herron said his goal was to

place the participants in fields
such as research and IT, among
others, to give them practical
skills that could be applicable
to future careers.

“Whether you were work-

ing in areas such as informa-
tion technology, government
or non-profit industries, you
were able to learn some tan-
gible hard skills,” Herron said.

He noted that, given that

the program was a pilot, there

are several areas he hopes to
improve on next year, includ-
ing better preparing for a high
level of interest in the program
and ensuring all young people
complete their jobs.

“Realistically, there were

some bumps in the road,” Her-
ron said. “It was a pilot, and we
didn’t do everything perfectly,
but we did get business and
youth connected.”

Patricia Walker, the chief

operating
officer
at
the

AAACF, said she had positive
experiences with Summer 16.

Youth were placed in a vari-

ety of positions, such as one
with the AAACF, which includ-
ed customer service work,
communication with donors
and key constituents, coordi-
nation of database updates and
additional research.

Walker said that if the

youth employment program is

renewed next summer, the
AAACF will certainly par-
ticipate.

Next
year
during
the

planning process, the Mich-
igan
Works!
Association

will
assist
participating

businesses plan the employ-
ment of an intern into their
budgeting process, primar-
ily to help alleviate the costs
that were transferred to it
during this year’s pilot pro-
gram.

“There are partnerships

that we missed out on that
we want to make sure that
we explore,” Herron said.
