This week, LSA senior Ethan Levin wrote about faculty members’ research on replacing Confederate monuments. “I tried to get a sense of the discussion by asking students around me what they expected, making sure that I had the chance to interview the panelists after the story was done. I was kind of surprised by the amount of disagreement there was on the panel of professors. Some of them thought that vandalism and defacing the statues was a good way of expressing disagreement with the Confederate statues. I thought the event was interesting because very often students get a sense of what other students think about social i ssues and what’s going on on campus, but you don’t get to hear as much about professors. To get different professors from different points of view and different backgrounds, applying their knowledge to contemporary issues and having open conversations with each other was kind of a new thing. I’m glad that I was able to see that firsthand.” LSA senior Ethan Levin, “University scholars interrogate replacement of Confederate monuments” BE HIND THE STORY ALEXIS RANKIN/DAILY QUOTE OF THE WE E K “ When I’m in class or walking through campus, I kind of live in a bubble where I can almost forget about things. This bubble, it’s false, because at any point you can get deported. When you create a distance between your at-home community and this community, at least for me, you almost feel this false sense of safety.“ Public Policy junior Yvonne Navarrete, former director of the Latinx Alliance for Community Action, Support, and Advocay Sudoku Syndication http://sudokusyndication.com/sudoku/generator/print/ 1 of 1 10/27/09 2:37 PM SUDOKU HARD 9 2 3 6 2 7 4 3 5 8 6 2 5 4 9 7 6 5 6 1 6 5 2 1 9 9 4 CALIFORNIA DREAMING puzzle by sudokusyndication.com Sudoku Syndication http://sudokusyndication.com/sudoku/generator/print/ 1 of 1 10/27/09 2:38 PM 7 6 1 8 3 8 4 1 4 9 3 6 1 7 5 2 8 4 7 2 3 6 8 3 FLOWER POWER puzzle by sudokusyndication.com people doing outreach work to work together and collaborate and gain some efficiency, and to offer programs of its own — which we did initially as well.” Additional focuses of the CEO include reaching out to individuals with an interest in increasing college accessibility and promoting success in their K-12 education. “Our purpose has been to partner with schools, community organizations, parents, principals, counselors, teachers, anyone who has an interest in college access, to encourage excellence in schools,” he said. “That is, we wanted students to perform their best, to do well, to expect that going to a selective university like the University of Michigan was a reasonable aspiration for themselves, and to develop a college-ready within communities that perhaps originally did not have a culture of sending students on to college.” Student Involvement In order to connect CEO’s resources in K-12 schools across Michigan back to the students already at the University, CEO offers to consult services to various groups on campus when organizations want to reach out to K-12 students. Sheri Samaha is one of the program managers at the CEO, and she explained how the center worked with MUSIC Matters, a student organization that builds community through large-scale events on campus. “Students like MUSIC Matters would come to us and ... they were interested in bringing a summer program together — and they actually did a summer camp called Move — and we were significant in helping them build that as far as consulting with the curriculum, transportation, etc.,” Samaha said. LSA sophomore Matthew Szuromi, MUSIC Matters member, praised the center for helping the organization not only with large-scale tasks such as further establishing relationships with other organizations, but also with smaller details like the right mannerisms to use with younger kids. “They open a lot of doors for us,” Szuromi said in an email interview. “They have so much experience in the field of educational outreach. It is such a benefit to be able to learn about the strategies behind reaching out to children ... We have made great relationships with other departments and organizations facilitated by CEO. Just yesterday, we were invited to the University Outreach Council, where we got the chance to interact with a great group of professionals who specialize in outreach. In that meeting alone, we got a ton of interest and people offering to help out our cause.” Another CEO supported project, Research Education and Activities for Classroom Teachers, was started by a group of graduate students in the College of Engineering and organizes a one-day workshop where University faculty and students present their research to K-12 teachers in order to educate teachers on how to facilitate discussions about higher education in their own classrooms. In an email interview, Rackham student Rose Cersonsky explained she, along with Rackham student Leanna Foster, started REACT with the help of CEO as a way to expand outreach efforts to educators at the K-12 level and encourage more pre-college students to engage with the University. In April 2017, Cersonsky and Foster brought the idea forward to CEO, and the first workshop was held in June. “Leanna and I wanted to push our outreach efforts beyond their previous scope, as she and I noted the difficulty in getting graduate student volunteers to more than 5-10 schools a semester and the general limitations of distance and availability,” Cersonsky wrote. “Together, she and I came up with the idea to equip and train teachers to conduct our outreach activities in their classrooms. With the support from CEO, it grew into a much larger idea of giving the teachers a touch point to the university, where they can spend a day immersed in the research conducted here.” Following the workshop, two feedback opportunities were given, one immediately after the workshop and another six months later, Cersonsky explained. While suggestions from the first round offered ideas to include more “grade level-specific content,” the second round focused on the usability of workshop points in classrooms. Cersonsky said out of the 55 percent response rate, many teachers said while they did use their experiences from REACT more frequently than other methods that might inform their teaching, they hope to see more ways to involve students in University research. Without direct involvement in University efforts, students seeing the outcome of REACT training won’t see the University as an academic institution that’s within reach for lower- socioeconomic status schools.
