Welcome back!

Although classes have yet to start and students have only begun trickling back onto campus, UMS staff and the Student Committee are already busy preparing for an exciting season. Speaking of the UMS Student Committee, our first meeting is September 18 at 7:30 pm in the Carver conference room on Liberty Street. We have an exciting agenda for this year, complete with educational, networking, leadership, and other opportunities to interact with UMS staff members and other professionals in the industry. Everyone is welcome to attend this meeting and we hope to see you there! If you have any questions about this first meeting or the Student Committee in general, please feel free to e-mail us at umsstudents-board@umich.edu.

Are you ready for the Student Half-Price Ticket Sale? You can go online to purchase tickets starting Wednesday, September 12 at 8 pm through Sunday, September 16 at noon. Another great student ticket program we recommend is the UMS Student Card. The UMS Student Card is a pre-paid punch card for Rush Tickets, and is available for $50 for 5 performances or $100 for 10 performances. The best part is that you can request your tickets online and just pick them up at the performance! For more information on the UMS Student Card and other student ticket programs, please visit www.ums.org/students.

Good luck beginning the school year! Be sure to look for UMS at Festifall, Northfest, and other student welcoming events!
