昨日の立ち上げ式に招かれて行ってきました。UMの学長についで、ASICSの社長さん（写真１）、そしてミシガンのGretchen Whitmer知事（彼女、次期大統領にという声も、写真２）がそれぞれスピーチをし、その後、研究施設のツアー、アシックス所属の一流運動選手のパネルと素晴らしい１日でした。社会・行動・運動科学の研究も来年度から始まります。

This Japanese map turns Buddhist cosmology into geography, and the whole thing was carved into a single woodblock in the 1700s! Every line you see was cut by hand, in reverse, before being pressed onto paper. Zoom in on the details here: myumi.ch/A1q24 #MapMonday

When #UMich faced a labor shortage during #WWII, it hired Japanese Americans held in #internment camps. When students of Japanese heritage applied for admission, they were rejected. @DenshoProject @UMCJS myumi.ch/kxpjj

"These Young Americans" | University of Michigan Heritage Project

When Japanese Americans were willing to wash dishes and stock shelves, the University opened its doors. When they applied as students, the doors closed.
