Welcome to the UM-Flint Community
Dear Students:
It is with great anticipation that I welcome each of you to the UM-Flint community for the start of the 2023-24 academic year. Whether you are just beginning your college journey, returning from last year or a previous semester, transferring from another institution, or re-entering the college experience, you have a home here at UM-Flint—and you belong!
In the Division of Student Affairs, we understand that the student experience stretches far beyond the classroom and that while you are here, you’ll be exposed to new ideas and opportunities to meet people with experiences, viewpoints, and backgrounds that may differ from your own. We hope that you embrace these moments and view each new engagement as an opportunity for self-discovery and personal growth.
Our dedicated staff in Student Affairs is here to serve as your advocates, mentors, allies, and supporters. I encourage you to rely on our enthusiastic team to help you navigate any challenges that you may encounter during the upcoming year. Your health, well-being and prosperity are our top priorities – we are invested in your success!
Our Student Government President, Lina Aziem has also shared a welcome message for UM-Flint students.
Once again, welcome to the University of Michigan-Flint. I’m confident that each of you will have a positive impact on our campus community.
Best wishes,
Christopher Giordano, PhD
Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs
