Living Arts Information Session

Be a Sophomore Peer Mentor for new Living/Learning Community

Are you interested in innovation, creativity, and mentoring younger students? If so, consider this opportunity to help develop Living Arts, a new living/learning community in Bursley on North Campus starting this Fall 2010.

Students who elect to live in Living Arts are united by a passion for creating and innovating, commitment to the arts, a love for asking hard questions and starting projects that lead them into unknown territory, and a drive to partner with peers to make something totally new and cool. We hope you will join us! The goal of Living Arts is to spur spontaneous outbursts of crazy-great ideas – the kind that might lead to the next iPod, or let audience members virtually inhabit performers' bodies, or make astronomical concepts physically palpable, or – who knows? Join Living Arts and be one of the first to experience teaching and learning on the creative edge!

Why Join Living Arts? ”¢ Help plan programming designed to support and enhance creative interactions among students with a wide range of majors and interests. ”¢ Opportunity to mentor younger students. ”¢ Lots of contact with faculty from a wide variety of disciplines. ”¢ A safe place to experiment and “play” intellectually. ”¢ Opportunity to do interdisciplinary research with faculty and to take interdisciplinary classes. ”¢ 24/7 access to in-house studios to support creative work. ”¢ Designated study and classroom space within the residence hall, as well as individual and group practice rooms, a gallery for student work, and performance space. ”¢ Rare quality time with many of the renowned artists, engineers, and other experts who visit U-M every week. ”¢ Close built-in ties and leadership opportunities with sponsored student groups such as Arts Enterprise, Center for Entrepreneurship, and with campus organizations such as UMMA and UMS, among others.
