Our third course, ALUM 101: From the Campus to the World: How U-M Innovations Are Changing Lives, continues the series with a deep dive into breakthroughs, from life-saving cancer treatments to the future of athletic performance. You will get a front-row seat to the ideas, people, and partnerships behind Michigan innovation.

Developed in partnership with Innovation Partnerships, this four-part mini-course will explore how discoveries move from campus to real-world impact, featuring topics such as HistoSonics ultrasound technology, KOMZIFTI therapeutics, OLED screen displays, and GripFusion’s ForceBall.

Each 60-minute virtual lecture includes a Q&A, allowing you to learn alongside fellow Wolverines. Classes take place on Wednesdays at 6 p.m., beginning May 20 and concluding with an optional in-person field trip.
