2024 Undergraduate Graduation Celebration
Congratulations Class of 2024!
The University of Michigan Department of Astronomy is united by our quest to unlock the secrets of the Universe, from the formation and evolution of stars and their planets, to the effects that black holes and neutron stars exert on their surroundings, to the drivers of galaxies’ and clusters’ assembly and growth. We strive to lead the astronomical community toward impactful answers to these questions using our unique resources, as well as recruiting a diverse cohort of "leaders and best" at all levels supported by effective mentorship enhancing excellence for everyone in our community. We strive to maintain a supportive and welcoming climate, identifying structural changes we can make to improve equity and inclusion. We embrace the joint goals of training the next generations of astronomers and teaching the wonders of the Universe to all students. Fundamentally, the success of our department depends on: making new discoveries, training new astronomers, and sharing the wonders of the Universe with all who would like to learn. Welcome. Astronomy is for everyone.
