Campus Visit Day

FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 2023

Campus Visit Day is a wonderful opportunity to experience all that the University of Michigan has to offer. You will be able to connect with faculty, current students, and other members of the community to learn about your program and the ways you’ll be supported at the Marsal Family School of Education.

Dean's Welcome

As a Marsal Family School of Education with over 100 years of history within an excellent public research university, we can offer you unique and plentiful opportunities to develop both as a scholar and as an individual. Wherever your interests lie, we look forward to helping you explore them deeply, even as we challenge you to broaden your horizons. If you join our Marsal Family School of Education community, then you will have the support of leading research centers, access to generous funding and fellowships, individualized mentoring, and a progressive curriculum centered on equity and justice that will develop your capacity to serve as a powerful force of change in education.

Perhaps our greatest strength is the students who choose to call the Marsal Family School of Education their home. Our excellence increases as each student brings to our school community diverse experiences, perspectives, and interests, contributing to the rich discourse and convergence of ideas in the classroom and beyond.

We are honored to support your academic journey, and hope that you will choose to join the Marsal Family School of Education community.
