…In a summer of upheaval for col- lege football, yet another development threatens to fundamentally change the structure of the sport. The Big Ten, Pac-12 and ACC announced Tuesday that they are join- ing forces in an inter-conference “alli- ance,” intended to both counter the SEC’s expansion into a 16-team super- conference and reinforce “shared val- ues” among the three conferences. “I think we have to keep in mind what brought us...…

…Stepping up on the block, I wait for the whistle that commands my body to get in a diving position. Next to the five other swimmers lined up on the blocks, I curl my toes and squeeze my hands on the edge of the block when I hear the second whistle. Go.

…I like to joke that I-94 and I-80 are my second homes. I’ve spent thousands of miles on them, miles that trade scenery for ease — hop on and drive, no directions needed. The “check engine” light on the dashboard of my old car kept me company, a constant presence lingering in the corner of my vision. It was accompanied by a symphony of other warning lights who came and went as they pleased. My brain felt a lot like that dashboard...…

…Since the University of Mich- igan welcomed its students back to campus for the 2020 fall semester, many students have felt torn between risk- ing exposure to COVID-19 and remaining isolated.

The COVID-19 pandemic has complicated social pressures from friends, tensions with ro...…

…When we conceptualize our nation as an ecosystem, our national and societal wounds — and their urgent need for repair — become deeply apparent.

Michigan in Color’s was established in pursuit of healing and education. And while we attempt to distinguish our- ...…

…7-Opinion Opinion I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and reached through the darkness for my phone. It was 4 a.m. on a March 2020 morning and the screams coming from outside my apartment were making it impossible to sleep. I sat up and looked down from my second-story window to the thin road below. Bathed in the orange light of a street lamp a group of people were dancing in a circle, their maniacal laughs and screams echoin...…

…2-News I have real problems with my city and my university. It’s legal in Ann Arbor to gather outside in groups of 25 and inside in groups of 10. But it isn’t safe. The city also requires that we wear masks when in groups, but even that’s not safe unless we are six feet apart. And how easy is it to wear a mask when you’re having a drink and a conversation? My city — the city I came home to 10 years after I graduated fro...…

…Seven days without electricity last August delivered me shaking and stimulus-starved on the steps of Viet Thanh Nguyen’s “The Sympathizer.” Hurricane Isaias had taken out most of Connecticut’s electrical infrastructure, along with all contact with the outside world.

…O n Tuesday of Wel- come Week this year, I had dinner alone on my porch. The house I had moved into just a few days earlier was still uncomfortably hot, so I fled to the cool breeze and quiet murmur of the street.

Usually, when I sit still in such a bustling environment, I like to imagine where people are coming from, where they...…

Before we left for the city, my mom explained that I would need to give a urine sample to the doctor. Since I ha...…

…W aiting for a financial aid offer is a lot like waiting for a medical diagnosis.

And then, the shock: Maybe it’s a temporary loss of hearing. Maybe your heart begins to race so much you forget to breathe. Maybe you grow li...…
