What Does It Take to Thrive?

The Conditions for Student Success in a Changing World

Free to attend · All are welcome!

What does it take for young people to thrive?

Success is about more than grades or graduation. Young people thrive when they have the support, opportunities, relationships, and sense of belonging they need to grow and imagine what's possible.

Join University of Michigan faculty and community members for a lively conversation about what helps young people thrive, how we can better support them, and the role we all play in shaping their futures.

Bring your perspective, hear new ones, and help shape the conversation.

Enjoy food and refreshments, plus a special gift as our thank-you for attending!
