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.
