At the Summit, engage in dialogue about the work of inclusive history; attend a hands-on archiving workshop; learn about research, engagement, and teaching taking place across the three campuses; and see student-led projects in a variety of forms. There will also be opportunities for you to share your stories about the University of Michigan.
