A new website sponsored by the office of U-M's Vice President for Global Communications highlights extraordinary moments in teaching and learning at the university. Michigan's World Class[2] features stories about courses that involve students in engaged, experiential learning at Michigan--stories showing the myriad ways U-M faculty (in the words of the website) "help students reach their potential to become some of the world's greatest scientists, inventors, entrepreneurs, educators, humanitarians and problem-solvers."
Check out stories about life-changing classroom experiences, inspiring faculty, and service-oriented students reaching out across the globe at Michigan's World Class[3]. A great starting point is this video about the value of experiential learning for U-M students. Readers can also keep up with the series on Twitter at #UMWorldClass.
