    UM-Flint Chancellor Laurence Alexander took part in a Hot Ones–style challenge, answering questions while sampling increasingly spicy chicken wings. Each milestone of 40 gifts unlocked the next heat level.

    Energy filled the Harding Mott University Center on March 18 as the campus community gathered to celebrate Giving Blueday. The annual 24-hour day of generosity invites supporters across the University of Michigan's three campuses to rally behind the programs and opportunities that make a difference for students. While the effort spans the globe through online contributions, UM-Flint brought the celebration to life in person. Departments, student groups and campus partners welcomed visitors from across the university, shared their work and inspired on-the-spot support for initiatives that strengthen the Wolverine community.
