Campus Councils

Advising Council at U-M

The Advising Council at the University of Michigan (ACUM) was formed in 2014 and addresses key advising needs for nearly 500 advisors across campus. Through robust programming, an enhanced network, and an active committee structure, the ACUM strives to provide opportunities for professional growth in the profession of academic advising as well as opportunity gaps in advising across campus. By leveraging expertise and knowledge from across the university, the ACUM helps improve the quality of advising, the sharing of knowledge and resources, and reduces the duplication of work across units.

Council on Global Engagement

Global engagement is core to the educational mission of the University of Michigan. The scope and excellence of our international learning opportunities are U-M differentiators, and we are dedicated to helping all of our students experience the wider world through academic and co-curricular programs abroad. Equally important is the cultural and intellectual diversity that our international students and scholars bring to the U-M campus. The U-M continually seeks new ways to both expand education abroad capacity and to create a campus culture that helps students from all backgrounds learn from one another. The Council on Global Engagement (CGE) helps the University build greater cohesion, innovation, and quality in these efforts.

Military Officer Education Programs

The University of Michigan, in cooperation with the armed services of the United States, provides an opportunity for eligible male and female students to earn a commission from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force upon completion of the degree and commissioning requirements. This opportunity is available through enrollment in the Military Officer Education Program (MOEP), which is known nationally as the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC).

All three officer education programs (Army, Navy, and Air Force) offer four- and two-year program options, financial benefits and scholarship opportunities. Minor variations, however, do exist among the programs and students should consult the specific information under the applicable program.
