Campus Buzz: Climate Week, Granholm Lecture, Arts Festival & Homecoming Highlights (Sept 29–Oct 6)

Hey Wolverines, it's Jenny with your Campus Update for September 29 through October 6. Let's get you set for the week—fast. First up—Climate Week is in full swing through October 5. Don't miss the kickoff event today at noon on Ingalls Mall, featuring speeches, performances, and hands-on activities. Next—Former U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm is delivering the Wege Lecture on Tuesday, September 30, at 5:30 p.m. in Rackham Auditorium. She'll discuss urgent sustainability challenges. This free event requires tickets. Finally—The Michigan Arts Festival is running through October 26, showcasing performances, exhibitions, and workshops across all U-M campuses. Many events are free and open to the public. The Wolverines football team had a bye week, so no game results to report. Looking ahead, the Detroit Lions are set to face the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, October 5, at 1:25 p.m. While it's an away game, it's always great to support our state's NFL team. The School of Information is hosting a Homecoming Celebration on October 3 and 4. Events include a tour of the new Leinweber Computer Science and Information Building and a community tailgate at Ferry Field. Alumni, friends, and families are welcome. In campus culture, the Michigan Pops Orchestra, the oldest student-run collegiate pops orchestra in the U.S., is gearing up for their fall concert. Keep an eye out for their performance dates and support your fellow Wolverines. For a dining tip, check out the Ann Arbor Farmers Market in Kerrytown. It's a great spot to grab fresh produce and local treats, perfect for a healthy study snack. This week in Ann Arbor, expect warm temperatures with plenty of sunshine. Highs will be in the low 80s, cooling down to the mid-40s at night. No significant rain is expected, so it's a great week to enjoy outdoor activities. Your move: Attend the Climate Week Kickoff today at noon on Ingalls Mall. It's a fantastic opportunity to engage with sustainability initiatives and connect with the community.
