VIDEO: University of MIchigan’s water semester

Jan 13 2011 One Comment

Parties are themed and weddings are too — and now university semesters?

That’s right, the University of Michigan themed this winter semester. No it’s not a “school” theme, that’s too obvious. The focus is water.

The water semester kicked off yesterday with an ice percussion concert.

Events, courses and lectures featured this winter highlight issues like water shortage, pollution and water-borne illnesses.

    I do not feel that a water shortage is more important then Asian Carp ruining the great lakes fisheries.
