UM-Flint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.156), 16px);\">The University of Michigan-Flint is a comprehensive urban university of diverse learners and scholars committed to advancing its local and global communities. UM-Flint is located approximately 60 miles from Ann Arbor and its sibling campus in Dearborn. In response to urging by a broad base of community supporters, the campus was established in 1956 as the Flint College of the University of Michigan, a two-year upper-division institution intended to provide a high-quality, low-cost liberal education to area students. It expanded gradually to take on a larger role, becoming a four-year regional campus in 1965. Being part of the University of Michigan was at the heart of the campus\u2019 identity at its founding and continues today. The university values excellence in teaching, learning, and scholarship; student-centeredness; and engaged citizenship. This excellence is found throughout the university\u2019s six schools and colleges: the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Health Sciences, the College of Innovation and Technology, the School of Education and Human Services, the School of Management, and the School of Nursing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"jumbotron-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www-s3.umflint.edu\/wp\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Maize.White_.Building.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www-s3.umflint.edu\/wp\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Maize.White_.Building.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www-s3.umflint.edu\/wp\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Maize.White_.Building-300x234.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www-s3.umflint.edu\/wp\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Maize.White_.Building-1024x800.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www-s3.umflint.edu\/wp\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Maize.White_.Building-768x600.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www-s3.umflint.edu\/wp\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Maize.White_.Building-1536x1200.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www-s3.umflint.edu\/wp\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Maize.White_.Building-2048x1600.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" alt=\"\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-container container mb-2\">\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UM-Flint developed this website to provide parents, family members, and supporters with information about what to expect as you and your student embark upon this new journey together, along with links to helpful resources in support of your student\u2019s transition to college, academic success, and health, safety, and well-being throughout their time here.\u00a0\u00a0 [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/dsa\/parents-families-supporters\/\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-196","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/dsa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/196","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/dsa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/dsa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/dsa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/38"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/dsa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=196"}],"version-history":[{"count":114,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/dsa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/196\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1077,"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/dsa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/196\/revisions\/1077"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/dsa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=196"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
