I enjoyed the material so much I switched my career plans to continue my study of complex systems. I declared a Complex Systems minor as a sophomore to compliment my major in Mathematics. I wanted to supplement my pure methodological work with applications and interdisciplinarity. -- Daniel Kaiser, Class of 2019

The University of Michigan, named after Michigamaa (“Great Water” in Ojibwe), occupies the traditional territory stewarded by the Anishinaabe. This land was ceded through the Treaty of Fort Meigs by the Anishinaabeg—the Three Fires People—Ojibwe (Chippewa), Odawa (Ottawa) and Bodewadimi (Potawatomi). Through these words their current and ancestral ties to the land and to the University are acknowledged.
