An excerpt from the article:
Join CAPS Director Todd Sevig for a film and panel discussion on Thursday, October 11th at 6pm in the Ann Arbor Library.
"Race To Nowhere" is a film that calls us to challenge current thinking about how we prepare our children for success. Featuring the heartbreaking stories of students across the country who have been pushed to the brink by over-scheduling, over-testing and the relentless pressure to acheive, "Race To Nowhere" points to a silent epidemic in our schools.
For many, the recent Supreme Court hearings have brought a range of reactions, including those who have experience with sexual assault. In courageously telling her story, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, has given the opportunity for other survivors to open up about their truths and begin their own healing process.
On September 5, 2017, it was announced that the federal government plans to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA), which has caused concern for many across the country. This decision will have serious implications for many individuals, including our University of Michigan students, who are either directly or indirectly impacted by this policy. We in CAPS want to clearly say that DACA students are welcomed and valued members of our campus community, and we support them and their presence on this campus.
UM CAPS wants to extend our support and our work and our commitment to the UM student community as we all navigate the acts of hate that occurred last week in Louisville on October 24th where two African American individuals and in Pittsburgh October 27th when 11 Jewish individuals were senselessly targeted and lost to acts of violence.
A message from UM-Ann Arbor President Mark S Schlissel focuses on the importance of the UM Community taking care of our mental health. President Schlissel wrote:
To All Members of the U-M Ann Arbor and Michigan Medicine Community:
The pandemic has caused major disruptions in planning for holidays, and school breaks this year. While going home may be the option for some students, others may have plans to stay put. Whether you plan to go home, or stay in Ann Arbor there are different ways you can enjoy this time. If you are alone, or unable to visit family you regularly would, try a virtual dinner party.
