Keeping the Campus Community Informed
The University of Michigan-Flint is dedicated to keeping the campus up-to-date regarding any information about the ongoing pandemic. This is a compendium of all campus notifications regarding the pandemic since it began to surface during Winter 2020.
UM-Flint Town Hall Sessions
As part of the university commitment to offering ongoing, transparent communication during the pandemic, town halls have been held by the Reopening Committee on an ongoing basis. These forums allow all campus stakeholders to participate and ask the questions they need in order to take action. Future town halls will be held as we continue to navigate this uncertain time.
