Please join us for the fall Communicators' Forum featuring U-M President Domenico Grasso and Vice President for Communications Richie Hunter. You'll have the opportunity to hear directly from the president about the Look to Michigan vision, its updated pillars, and its powerful and unifying narrative and impact for the public good.

They are Dr. Michael Solomon, dean of the Rackham Graduate School; Dr. Angela Dillard, vice provost for undergraduate education; and Dr. Elizabeth Moje, dean of the Marsal Family School of Education. They will be joined by Dr. Jenna Bednar, co-chair of the Year of Democracy and Civic Empowerment and inaugural faculty director of UMICH Votes and Democratic Engagement. The panel will be moderated by Dr. Demetri Morgan, Life-Changing Education theme year director.
