  • Sept. 30: “Legacy Celebration,” alumni celebration of African American firsts at UM
  • Sept. 26­-30: Week of Service, a childhood literacy project centering on the four pillars of courage, opportunity, knowledge and perseverance

Mead said in a statement. “It also reminds us to remain steadfast in our commitment to mitigating barriers to success while creating an optimal learning environment in which all members of our campus community can reach their full potential.”

According to Mead and Chancellor Glenn Boyce, the university also plans to launch a 60th anniversary website to share updates and announce events.
