“The classes were ungraded,
and by that I don’t mean A, B,
C, D, I mean that you heard the
same lectures, two years in a row,”
Howell said. “Presumably you
got more out of it the second time
around.”
Howell also said the University
used to run two separate hospitals:
one for homeopathic medicine
and one for allopathic medicine.
Howell
explained
operations
were performed in the medical
school amphitheater prior to the
development of operating rooms.
“The operations were done in
the medical school amphitheater,
which was a little bit dicey
because dissections with cadavers
were also in the medical school
amphitheater,” Howell said. “After
operating on patients, they had to
be carried across the street and
across the University to get back
into the hospital.”

In 1881, the medical school
became the first to admit women.
People of color were also admitted
around the same time, according to
Howell. Howell shared a photo of
a classroom in which men of color
are sitting in the back row of the
class and the women are sitting in
a sectioned off bench to the side. He
also shared a note from the Board of
Regents in 1870 and two responses
from news sources of the time.
“The
regents
resolved
in
1870 that ‘the Board of Regents
recognized the right of every
resident
of
Michigan
to
the
enjoyment
of
the
privileges
afforded by the University and
that they will admit anyone with
the requisite in literary and moral
qualifications,’”
Howell
said.
“And with that, we became the
first major medical school in the
country to admit women, and they
got national attention.”

Inagape co-founder Patricia Griffin speaks at the Emerging Markets Conference in Ross Tauber Colloquium Friday.

Seminar highlights immigration
lawyer’s work with government

Monica Dorman discusses career helping families navigate legal system

University of Michigan alum
Monica L. Dorman spoke to about
80 economics students in Lorch
Hall Friday afternoon. Her talk
was a part of a lecture series for
the semester designed to help
students implement the skills
they learn in the classroom in
everyday life.
Dorman is an immigration
lawyer
and
has
represented
clients from over 60 countries.
She began her own law firm in
2010 after realizing her previous
work at a different firm was
not allowing her to grow as an
individual.
She explained she begins her
day by meeting with new clients
and
assessing
their
current
immigration status.
“In any given day, I meet about

four clients,” Dorman said. “At
least one of those will be a new
client — someone who’s coming
into my office who has never
met me before who’s going to
be explaining to me what their
current immigration situation
is … I’ll sit down with them, look
over all of their paperwork, and
we’ll assess both their current
situation and what their options
are.”
During
Dorman’s
time
at
Michigan,
she
majored
in
economics.
After
debating
whether or not to take the GRE,
Dorman ended up deciding to
pursue a career in law. Then, after
pursuing law school and working
at various corporations, Dorman
said she wanted to help more
people.
“I realized that there were
three main components that I was
looking for in a job that I would
derive utility from,” Dorman said.

“One was contact with clients.
I knew that I wanted to engage
with my contacts … that I wanted
some autonomy over my career,
over my caseload. I wanted to be
able to make decisions about the
proper way to handle a case … to
make decisions about whether
or not I even felt comfortable
representing that client at all.”
Dorman told the economics
students to only pursue a career
they feel is rewarding to them.
“I would encourage you as you
go through your studies in econ,
whether or not you’ve decided
this is truly your academic
home or not, whether or not you
buy into the principles behind
economics, at least utilize them to
your advantage, so you’re able to
make those decisions for yourself
and come to a conclusion or
come to a career or come to some
other undertaking that you find
rewarding,” Dorman said.

LSA sophomore Ryan Perry
said he thought Dorman’s words
were different from what students
typically hear from other guest
lecturers.
“The whole semester has been
a series of different speakers, so
this was very interesting, because
it was something totally different
from the rest,” Perry said. “The
other ones were about consulting
and business, which it great, but
it was cool to get another, diverse
view on what you can do with an
econ major.”
LSA junior Isabel Chaney said
she was surprised by the event
overall.
“I really liked the diversity
of
questions
that
students
had,” Chaney said. They were
about a mix of her career, the
immigration process in general,
and I liked that she was able to
touch on a lot of different things
through the talk.”
