Semimonthly Meetings

The entire Phelps Scholars cohort meets once each month to explore themes of thriving as individuals and members of a community. They do this together at retreats, workshops and talks that engage topics such as community building, college student success, well-being, professional development, resilience and global learning. They also have the opportunity to network with upperclassmen, build relationships with faculty and staff, and may attend other diversity-related events on campus.

Day Trips

Phelps Scholars travel on day trips to a variety of destinations, including:

  • Grand Rapids, Michigan: Traditional Native American pow wow
  • Dearborn, Michigan: The Arab-American National Museum
  • Holland, Michigan: Spanish-speaking church service and discussion with local immigrant-rights advocates
  • Detroit, Michigan: The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History
  • Chicago, Illinois: Lunar New Year celebration in Chinatown
  • Farmington Hills, Michigan: Zekelman Holocaust Memorial Center

Trips are offered three times each semester. Students are required to attend one trip of their choice during the fall and spring semesters; all others are optional but encouraged as schedules permit. Trip costs are fully covered by the Phelps Scholars Program.

鈥�Our field trips served as a real-world experience for learning about other cultures.鈥�
