Welcome, parents and families of incoming RC students! We're so excited to work with your student during their time at the University of Michigan. You are joining the RC community now, a community that aims to provide a nurturing, challenging, and incredibly engaging experience for your student while they embark on their studies and extracurricular and social endeavors.
In lieu of an in-person Parent and Family Orientation program for the summer of 2020, we have had to get creative with making a meaningful online experience. Here is what we have prepared for you:
Please watch this video featuring a Zoom call with Residential College directors Catherine Badgley, Jennifer Myers, Naomi André, and Stephen Ward, to give you a feeling for the faculty and leadership in the RC and to answer some frequently-asked-questions we hear from parents and families.
Join us for a virtual drop-in Zoom Q&A with one or more of our directors during one of these sessions:
- June 18 from 4-5pm EST
- June 25 from 4-5pm EST
- July 9 from 12-1pm EST
- July 23 from 4-5pm EST
- August 6 from 12-1pm EST
