Welcome to Michigan - Come and Go into all the fun rooms!!!

The Shapiro Undergraduate Library annually hosts the big 'Welcome' event, called Party For Your Mind (P4YM). This inclusive and virtual event includes many activities targeted at new students and returning students. P4YM builds a sense of community, fosters institutional respect, and provides fun opportunities to meet other students before U-M classes begin.

P4YM-2020 events are for U-M students only. You will use your uniqname and password to login to the various Zoom rooms and other virtual platforms.

If this is the first time you’ve logged into Zoom as a U-M student, this 4HELP document should help. All activities are designed to be inclusive and accessible. Let us know if you have special concerns.
