BRIDGES, the University of Michigan-Flint alumni magazine. An urban university of diverse learners and scholars, UM-Flint\u2019s commitment to advancing communities locally, regionally and across the globe has never been stronger. In this issue of BRIDGES, you will meet scientists, entrepreneurs, authors, educators, law enforcement officials and health care professionals who are all making an impact in their spheres of influence. Alumni like Donald Tomalia (\u201861) whose curiosity about life led to his discovery of dendrimers; Ja\u2019Nel Jamerson (\u201812, \u201814, \u201819, \u201822), who began his journey as a leader in education while an undergrad working in Educational Opportunity Initiatives; and John Long (\u201887) who teaches physics, materials science and electronics at Deakin University in Australia, after an off-campus study experience through the Honors Program. We hope you enjoy these stories, among many others featured in this issue, as a continued testament to the ways UM-Flint alumni make their mark on the world around them. Forever Go Blue!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/um-flint\/docs\/124um_bridges_winter_2023_single_pages_web?fr=xKAE9_zU1NQ\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/um-flint\/docs\/124um_bridges_winter_2023_single_pages_web?fr=xKAE9_zU1NQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BRIDGES: Winter 2023<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/um-flint\/docs\/um-flint_bridges_summer_2022?fr=xKAE9_zU1NQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BRIDGES: Summer 2022<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-issuu wp-block-embed-issuu\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"BRIDGES Fall 2023\" src=\"https:\/\/e.issuu.com\/embed.html?u=um-flint&#038;d=127um_bridges_fall_2023_digital\" style=\"border:none;
