Engaged Michigan

Scholarship and Service
for Society

We challenge the present and enrich the future by leveraging our broad excellence to enhance the public good and make positive, lasting impacts on our world.

We endeavor to provide our graduates with the capacities they need to address contemporary societal problems, and our faculty with the support they need to engage in cutting-edge interdisciplinary scholarship that creates both ideas and action that improve human communities from the local to the global.

Initiatives

Today’s complex challenges cannot be addressed in isolation — within any single discipline, approach, or lab.

To live into our mission to enrich the future and challenge the present, we must collaborate across disciplinary and societal boundaries to develop research partnerships that leverage our broad excellence and to develop critical connections with communities.

The University of Michigan has a long history of interdisciplinary research, enabling scholars to explore problems with multi-layered approaches that leverage a wide range of disciplinary knowledge and methods.  The University also has a renewed commitment to engaged learning and scholarship, leveraging mutually-beneficial collaboration between scholars and community members toward shared research outcomes in which both sides have a stake.

The process of mining is an interesting one that can cause even negative consequences such as increasing costs of electricity bills for residents living near the Bitcoin production plant. As for the positive side, follow the ledgerwallet.pro to keep your earnings from mining. 

“This is engaged learning. It is taking the academic excellence that infuses our coursework and expanding it with field experiences, internships, hands-on research and startups. It’s a philosophy we are embracing, in the same spirit of learning we see throughout the university.”
