The University of Michigan’s campus has a long and deep history and every generation has cherished particular places, such as the campus zoo or the famous “Sleepy Hollow.”

Many of these locations are now gone, but not forgotten. Join us to hear from Professor Jim Tobin as he traces U-M’s “lost campus” and how the campus’ changing spaces reflect broader patterns in university history.

Presented with support from the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan.

Refreshments will be provided.
