What is Michigan In Color?

Our Founding Michigan in Color, or MiC as we all have come to know and love, was founded in 2014 by former students Jerusalium Geb, Rima Fadlallah, and Kayla Upadhyaya with the help of Zeinab Khalil. Before MiC became its own section, it was a column under Opinion. And before it was a column under Opinion, MiC came from a rocky start.

As a student of color here at the University of Michigan, Rima saw a need for improved representation of marginalized students and communities on our campus. Specifically, she identified a need for a space in which students of color could share their experiences freely, openly and unapologetically. Rima emailed the Michigan Daily a few times the summer before her senior year to be a columnist but to no avail. She eventually decided to join the edit-board to advance her vision and build relationships with the staff. As she became more involved in the organization, however, she also realized that The Michigan Daily, like many other organizations, could benefit from a holistic education in diversity and inclusion and social justice.

Rima’s frustrations were exacerbated by a staff wide email that was later circulated among Daily staff members, in which an annual Michigan Daily football match was compared to a “Shiite vs. Sunni rivalry.” In response, Rima, along with former columnist Zeinab Khalil, arranged a meeting with the then former Editor-In-Chief Andrew Weiner and the editor who sent out the email. Unfortunately, the editor did not end up apologizing, and Andrew had to profusely apologize on his behalf.

What came out of the meeting was not only the harsh reality of white privilege, but also the obvious need to push for diversity and inclusion within the Daily and therefore the University of Michigan campus at large. Zeinab and Rima ref lected on this meeting and later presented the idea of Michigan in Color to Andrew, who was extremely receptive. As Zeinab was too busy with her own movement, the Michigan Women of Color Collective, Andrew directed Rima to Jerusaliem Geb and former Arts Editor Kayla Upadhyaya. Together, the three students were able to transform their dream of supporting students of color on campus through written narratives and storytelling into a dynamic reality. Michigan in Color, as it exists today, is the product of their unwavering dedication to social justice at an institution in which students of color are often silenced, ignored and ostracized.

As a team, Rima, Kayla and Jerusaliem began to reach out to other students of color at the University of Michigan. By attending meetings for various student organizations, campaigning through social media and tapping into their respective social networks, the three were able to highlight a diverse set of stories and narratives—narratives that were overlooked by the larger institution in MiC’s absence. In addition to these efforts, the three were also inspired by Zeinab and her work with the Michigan Women of Color Collective, which was created as a space for women of color on our campus to join together in a space of affirmation, healing and activism. Zeinab’s determination to carve an avenue through which women of color could gather “on the basis of political solidarity” and build an intricate base of support has greatly informed MiC’s structure and vision of collaborating with other activist groups on our campus. After all, social change can only occur when groups recognize, learn from and elevate one another!

Our Importance

Michigan in Color aims to elevate the voices, experiences, and narratives of People of Color at the University of Michigan and beyond.

In recognizing that People of Color often feel unable to unapologetically express themselves on other platforms, Michigan in Color functions as a network of support in raw and intimate stories can be acknowledged and celebrated by all.

Our Process (How to Join MiC) There are various opportunities to get involved with Michigan in Color! If you are interested in writing for our section, you can meet with one or more of the editors. The editors will ask you what you are interested in writing about and how often you would like to contribute.

How to join the Daily Opinion Section

By Summer Editorial Page Editor Sarah Khan Enjoy debating with your peers? Want to be more informed about issues across the country, state and campus? Feel informed and want to share your views with others?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then the opinion section of The Michigan Daily is where you belong.

The opinion section holds biweekly meetings, every Tuesday and Thursday, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Student Publications Building. During these meetings, we discuss University of Michigan, local, state and national issues. Some topics that have heated up Edit Board meetings in the past include the Ann Arbor deer cull and Central Student Government elections. We also tackle issues that affect students beyond our campus, like the University’s sexual assault policy and growing income inequality in higher education.

We read, discuss and analyze the information at hand; we inform ourselves and engage in meaningful discussion. Then, we take a stance on the issue, incorporating the views of our Editorial Board members. The product of these discussions are our leftsides, which can be found on the right side of the opinion section of the Daily’s website. Ultimately, we hope these leftsides will be informative and useful to our readers from our campus and community at large.

The structure of the Edit Board meetings are the same every week. Our two Editorial Page Editors and five senior editors facilitate a discussion about a topic which Editorial Board members and new members are asked to read about on their own. During the meeting, we’ll take a few minutes to discuss the information and ask clarifying questions. Editorial Page Editors will then, in an orderly fashion, ask those raising their hands to give their input. The discussion f lows from there as we continue to think and respond to what has already been said.

At the end of our Edit Board meetings, our Editorial Page Editors and senior editors work with new members to draft the Edit Board’s leftside. If you’re a new member, you’ll be asked to draft one or two yourself with the help of our senior editors.

The requirements to join the Editorial Board have changed each semester, but will involve some contribution on your part to our section. In the past, we’ve asked new members to work with our staff to draft two leftsides and submit an opinion piece, or op-ed, to the section.

Still not sure if you’d like to join? Attending one of our meetings will give you an idea of what the opinion section is about.

Maybe you’re the type of person to unabashedly share your opinion with others. If this is the case, then you’ll enjoy sitting in and participating in on our Edit Board meetings. If you feel that you’re a more reserved person, don’t feel discouraged after sitting in on our meetings. You’ll be pushed out of your comfort zone and asked to share how you feel about divisive topics. But don’t be discouraged; your contributions and presence will be constructive to our discussion, regardless. We want people from all walks of life to sit in on our meetings. No matter if you’re conservative or liberal, soft-spoken or loud, we value and respect everyone’s differences. We’re really interested in hearing from everyone, from all sides of the political and ideological spectrum.

Joining the opinion section is a great way to get started at the Daily. You’ll make friends, share views and learn, in-depth, about the most salient issues on our campus and in our country.

What is Michigan In Color?

Our MiC Checks*

Michigan in Color is committed to upholding set guidelines for all contributors, columnists, and editors in order to preserve a space that respects all unique experiences of people of color. We call these our “MiC Checks.” In order for a piece to be approved and published by Michigan in Color, it must pass the following MiC Checks: MiC Checks (inspired by Michigan Women of Color Collective’s Unity Statements): 1.

Michigan in Color is a safe space reserved solely for and by people of color. In order for MiC to remain safe for its contributors, it must remain a space for and by people of color. Only those who identify as people of color may edit the work in the space or contribute to Michigan in Color in any way. The only people exempt from this rule are the editor in chief and the Copy Desk at the Michigan Daily, who can only suggest edits to MiC editors. MiC editors reserve the right to make all final decisions regarding Michigan in Color content.

2.

Submissions that directly marginalize the voices of others in this space shall not be published. Editors have full autonomy to determine which articles they will publish. Even within the narratives of people of color, there are some voices that have the power to directly marginalize other voices in the space. If the editors feel that any post perpetuates and reinforces the oppression and silencing of already marginalized voices, they will not publish it.

3.

Michigan in Color is a brave space. This statement must assume statements #1 and #2 before it can be realized. MiC seeks to move beyond a “safe space”; this column is a space that encourages and invites all of its membership to be brave and claim authorial right to their own narratives — whatever they may be. In this space, we invite our contributors to be vulnerable, to shed light on issues that are controversial, to be authentic even in the face of overwhelming self-doubt, and to hold others accountable to do the same. We encourage those utilizing our space to challenge others within and outside of the space to think critically and entertain other perspectives.

4.

Michigan in Color encourages creative expression in all its viable forms. We do not want this column to be restrictive or constraining like most of the spaces in which we operate as people of color. Instead, we want MiC to be enabling, which is why editors are open to any suggestions for creative expression so long as it does not violate Daily policy.

5.

Only speak to your own identities and experiences. Do not write on behalf of other individuals or communities. MiC is a space whereby marginalized voices can make their stories heard. With that said, MiC is not a space whereby people of color write about the issues of communities to which they do not belong. Doing so would certainly violate MiC Check #3.

6.

Michigan in Color is not a space for confessions or guilt.

MiC drops will not center feelings of guilt on behalf of a more privileged author for being directly complicit in any form of oppression, and MiC shall not serve as a space for people of color to confess ways that they have been racist, classist, sexist or have worked to directly perpetuate any other system of oppression. Doing so violates MiC Checks #1 and #2.

7.

Michigan in Color assumes an introspective and socially responsible author. MiC contributors should be introspective, recognizing their privilege(s) and the way their submission(s) will affect the dynamics of this space. While MiC is a designated space for and by people of color, it certainly does not exist within a vacuum that is immune to the oppressive systems and identity politics of our campus and beyond.

It is imperative that MiC’s editors are cognizant of this reality and

extremely thoughtful and purposeful when developing this space, editing posts and interacting with others within the space.

8.

Emotions are valid in our space. MiC is not a space that tolerates the policing of anyone’s emotions. So long as the contributions abide by the abovementioned MiC Checks, this space can be whatever the author needs it to be. Outside of the very minor (and flexible) Daily grammatical and structural policies, MiC drops do not need to follow any specific format or pattern. MiC Drops can come in all colors, shapes, sizes and effects. We welcome all of the individual (their tears, their smiles, their anger, their loud laughter, etc.).

Our Experience Michigan in Color means the world to me. I am lucky enough to be surrounded by such a supportive group of Senior Editors, and to learn about the various experiences of our contributors, each of which is raw, powerful, emotional, and unapologetic.

- Sivanthy Vasanthan Serving as a Senior Editor for Michigan in Color has provided me an invaluable opportunity to learn from a group of groundbreaking student leaders. Spending time with my Co-Editors has not only transformed my understanding of social justice, but has showed me that activism can take place in so many different forms. Thank you for everything!

- Neel Swamy To be a part of Michigan in Color means to be a part of something so much bigger than me. My time as a Senior Editor and Summer Managing Editor has been so eye-opening and humbling, because I am not only to help others find their voice but also learn from the unique experiences of each contributor. With my fellow editors, I have found a community of color where I can truly express myself.

- Christian Paneda I never knew I could feel so at home in a space until I found Michigan in Color. I am surrounded by people who see the world differently than I do and are not only willing but passionate about sharing their voices as well as the voices of others. I feel truly honored to have MiC as a tool to share my own voice and uplift others.

- Halimat Olaniyan Michigan in Color has taught me what a magical space is. Through vulnerability we become willing and through our breaths, we share our stories, our truths, our pain. I learn so much everyday from my co-editors and they are what makes this space so magical. I am grateful and humbled to share and build with them, because they have shaped the way I take in the world.

- Adam Brodnax I am incredibly proud to be a part of something as important as Michigan in Color. Through MiC, I’ve found a space where our narratives are valued and encouraged. This has been a space where I feel I can go beyond academia and jargon and remind myself of the perspectives and stories that shape my understanding of the world. I hope that you all choose to join us, as readers and as contributors.

- Areeba Haider

What is CSG? Central Student Government is the main student government of the University of Michigan, which represents all of the schools and students on campus.

CSG has three branches of government — executive, legislative and judiciary. There are also many commissions, or groups within the organization, to carry out certain tasks or initiatives often related to student life, campus activities and student organizations.

Examples of initiatives that CSG have done in the past include Meijer grocery shuttles, Leadership Engagement Scholarship and mental health townhalls.

CSG has an budget of roughly $800,000 per year. The CSG budget comes from the $9.19 each student at the University pays per term. Much of their budget goes to the Student

Organization Funding Commission, which helps support student organizations financially when applied.

The current president is LSA senior Anushka Sarkar. Last year, Sarkar ran under the party called eMerge; the party had three pillars of voice, opportunity and momentum. The members of eMerge have heavily been involved with CSG in the past, with both old and new members making up the ticket.

Sarkar said CSG hopes to focus on short-term and longterm goals. One of her priorities, she said last semester, was to advocate University Health Services to accept students’ Medicaid coverage, while CSG Vice President Nadine Jawad, a Public Policy junior, said providing free phone and laptop chargers for student use will be one of the achievable initiatives.

More about the Michigan Running Club

By JACOB SHAMES

DAILY SUMMER SPORTS MANAGING EDITOR

Beyond the players at the Big House or the Crisler Center, there’s a wide range of athletes at the University of Michigan.

There’s the elite, varsity-level high-school athlete who seeks to continue to compete and push themselves. There’s the typical Michigan student who’s buried in schoolwork but still wants to stay in shape and leave the library every now and then. Then there’s the student who might not love playing sports, but does it to be social, hang out with friends and find a community.

One can find all of these people with the Michigan Running Club, or MRun. Since its foundation in 2004, MRun has evolved into the largest and fastest-growing student organization on campus, and claims a dues-paying membership of over 200 students, both undergraduate and graduate.

MRun has no tryouts or cuts, and any student, no matter how fast, is welcome to join. Newcomers are encouraged to simply show up for daily practices, which are held Monday through Friday at the Central Campus Recreational Building at 4:15 pm. From there, runners can choose between routes of three, five or seven miles throughout the streets and trails of Ann Arbor. Harder workouts are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the evening, and long runs of up to 16 miles are held on Sundays as well. MRun isn’t limited to distance runners either — sprinters, jumpers and throwers in track and field make up an integral part of the club as well.

“None of the practices or runs are mandatory, but when you do come they are always fun,” said LSA sophomore Roi Orzach.

While MRun isn’t exclusively competitive like many other club sports on campus, racing is still central to MRun. Every year, MRun travels to cross-country and track meets

22 The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com

throughout the Midwest to compete against running clubs from other universities. Both the men’s and women’s teams have been very successful on the national scene — in 2008 and 2014, the women took first place at the NIRCA (National Intercollegiate Running Club Association) National Championships, while the men’s team did the same in 2010.

“I most enjoy the races (out of all MRun events),” said LSA junior Jacob Tanner. “We all get to spend a weekend together and see the results of our training.”

To many MRunners, no matter how dedicated, the community that the club provides is second to none. MRun frequently holds social events such as movie nights, cider mill runs, pre-race dinners and ice-skating nights, and goes on an annual weekend retreat to Northern Michigan in Aug ust.

“The most rewarding part about MRun in my opinion is that I’ve become friends with so many people in the club and that we already share a common interest in running,” said Engineering senior Riley Doherty, who served as the club’s social chair last year.

Community service and volunteering are also important aspects of MRun, highlighted by the club’s annual fundraiser, Race Across Michigan. Each March, MRun runs 184 miles across the state in under 24 hours, starting in Detroit and ending on the shores of Lake Michigan to raise money for the Special Olympics. This past year’s fundraiser was MRun’s most successful, as they raised over $20,000 for the organization.

MRun prides itself on its accessibility and laid-back attitude — members can participate in as much or as little as they want to. Due to this combination of a welcoming, friendly community and a competitive, athletic experience, MRun appears likely to only grow in popularity.

What Student Org should you join?

Let’s face it: Your high school probably didn’t offer many opportunities for you to discover or pursue your passion. You might have been editor in chief of your school newspaper, starred in every theatre production and led the marching band at halftime, but other than that, your creative endeavors were limited. Fortunately, you’ve enrolled at a school that offers more opportunities to pursue your passion than you could ever imagine.

With a little exploration, you’ll find at least one student organization here at Michigan that appeals to your interests, one that will complete your college experience and introduce you to lifelong friends and invaluable connections. There are countless student-run groups dedicated to the arts, and this list only mentions an extremely small fraction of them. Nonetheless, the Daily has hand picked a selection of renowned organizations for your convenience.

WBCN If your Spotify account get hundreds of followers and you’re hailed as the go-to mixtape maker, then becoming a Disk Jockey for WCBN, Michigan’s student-run freeform radio station, only makes sense. WCBN broadcasts 24 hours a day, seven days a week on 88.3FM. Originally created in 1952, WCBN found a home in the basement of the Student Activities Building in 1965 and hasn’t moved since. The station’s lobby is decorated with a variety of stickers and memorabilia, some of which haven’t been touched since the ’60s. And, they claim to have the comfiest couch in the entire University; this has yet to be officially contested, but they have a strong argument and will be tough to beat.

WCBN distinguishes itself from other college radio stations with its authentic, free-form production that has remained unfazed by the increase in digital broadcasting. Free-form relies on the actual use of vinyl, CD’s and cassettes to broadcast rather than a digital platform, and thanks to their vast collection of music, you’ll always hear something new playing on 88.3. Even if you’re the slightest bit curious of what WCBN has to offer, their doors are always open to new DJ’s. Check out the station for free training on how to disc jockey.

M-agination Films Ann Arbor hails itself as one of the premier film towns in the country.

Since 1963, the Ann Arbor Film Festival, the third-oldest in the country, has been a national highlight for experimental filmmakers. Following the city’s rich film tradition is the renowned student-run movie production group M-agination Films.

You don’t need to have made a major motion picture to join M-agination; they welcome students of all varying talent and experience.

In fact, considering they boast a wide variety of students from all different academic backgrounds, you don’t even have to be a Screen Arts & Cultures major. M-agination is entirely student-run every step of the way, from the scriptwriting to the editing. If you’ve always dreamed of transferring your creative vision to the big screen, submitting a script to the group’s producers is a must-do. In April, M-agination holds its annual festival at the Michigan Theater showcasing all of the student’s projects throughout the school year. Watching you and your friends’ movie come to life in such a professional and gorgeous space is one you won’t forget for the rest of your life.

WOLV-TV Similar to M-agination, you don’t have to be a SAC major to join WOLV TV and gain access to North Quad’s world class production studio.

Founded in 1994, this student-run organization (although the group does receive some non-student assistance) broadcasts across campus on channel 55.

WOLV TV is your platform if you dream of becoming the next Al Roker or Diane Sawyer. But beyond news coverage, this television station broadcasts a variety ranging from sports talk shows to a sketch comedy program. With North Quad’s state of the art studio, WOLV TV is also the perfect fit for those who prefer to be behind the camera.

SHEI Magazine You’ve always stood out among a crowd because of your sharp sartorial tastes. Every friend of yours turns to you for fashion advice. Trends hardly faze you because you’ve already established your own personalized brand of fashion. But even more likely, you already beat everyone to the trend last year.

If this sounds familiar, SHEI Magazine will be your home away from home. This bi-annual print magazine offers countless opportunities to get professional experience in publishing and the fashion industry. SHEI, not even 20 years old, has become one of the top student-run magazines in the country. For those interested in writing their thoughts about fashion, the features team is the best platform, and they work to fill the magazine with intriguing articles discussing topics related to style and culture. SHEI is also a haven for those who wish to design outfits to be modeled and featured by the stunning photography throughout the magazine. They even have created a monthly online-only magazine, SHIFT, due to their surplus of creativity; twice a year just wasn’t enough.

Daily Arts Ah, you probably thought you’d get away from reading another plea to join the Daily, but oh, you’re so wrong.

Daily Arts is perfect if your conversations entirely consist of you and your buddies debating whether or not Quentin Tarantino is overrated.

Or, why the new Kendrick Lamar album is another masterpiece (or a slightly underwhelming release from someone who we’ve come to expect so much from). Wherever your tastes and opinions lie, consider spewing them to everyone and applying to Daily Arts.
