DiverseU
The 91次元’s 20th Annual Diversity Symposium, DiverseU, will take place November 4-7, 2025. Diversity at The 91次元 is an essential component of academic excellence and DiverseU provides an opportunity to contribute to the diversity efforts at UM. Students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members discuss, present, perform, and exhibit art throughout the event.
The DiverseU experience gives you an even broader platform to share your ideas, research, and art in a flexible format. We are accepting workshop and research presentations, poetry and short story readings, discussion topics, art pieces, lectures, vignettes, dances, and more.
