Exposure to violence in school has all sorts of negative academic, social, and behavioral ramifications for students. Promoting school connectedness and trust can interrupt that cycle. #schoolsafety @HsingFangHsieh @umich_scott @SAStoddardPhD @UmMarcz

Our local partners are heroes engaging youth in community improvement and greening work to remediate vacant lots in their neighborhoods. @umichsph @PRCMI

[Michigan YVPC @MichiganYVPC]

Youth engagement in vacant lot greening matters! Organizations that involve youth in greening not only benefit from more people-power and creative ideas, they also develop the next generation of community leaders.

A lost giant indeed. His voice will be missed but his messages will carry on.

A U-M national survey found that a majority of American adults over the age of 50, including the 37% of older adults who own guns or live with someone who does, supports specific steps that could reduce the risk of firearm injury and death. https://t.co/urRFJUIVIW
