Earlier this week, the Ginsberg Center’s 2024-2025 Student Advisory Board held its first meeting. The Student Advisory Board provides guidance, support, and feedback that advances the work of the Ginsberg Center and community engagement in the broader University of Michigan community. During monthly meetings, board members provide input on programs, initiatives, and the direction of the Ginsberg Center, and provide feedback for other University community engagement efforts. Student Advisory Board members represent Ginsberg Center programs and initiatives, student organizations (particularly those who focus on service, social justice, advocacy, and/or activism), and the campus at large.

This year, the board has 13 members, both undergraduate and graduate students, who represent four colleges across U-M’s campus.
