More than sports. More than just “something to do.” 💙⚽ UM-Flint students are creating opportunities that extend far beyond the field—building confidence, inspiring young athletes, and making a difference in the community along the way. What started as a passion for the game is becoming something bigger: mentorship, leadership and creating spaces where young people can see what’s possible. Click below to see this impact in motion.

Where campus meets community. Our Town & Gown Summer Social Series spotlights the local businesses that help define downtown Flint’s energy, and the places our students, faculty and neighbors call their own. Together, they create a connected experience that extends well beyond the classroom, shaping how we live, gather and engage in the city every day.

Today, we kick things off with a downtown destination, the Flint Farmers’ Market. A year-round public market established in 1905, it features 50+ vendors, including several produce purveyors, a meat market, a variety of poultry, breads, baked goods, cheeses, wine, an art gallery, a cafe, Middle Eastern and Mexican groceries, and many unique gifts—plus a diverse lineup of food vendors serving everything from quick bites to full meals. From May through October, another 25 vendors offer fresh produce, flowers, and arts & crafts.

Flint came out in full force to celebrate one of its own. 🏆 Community members, civic leaders and basketball fans gathered at the Riverfront Conference Center, May 14, for “Trey Day,” honoring Flint native and national champion Trey McKenney following his standout freshman season with the Michigan Wolverines. Co-hosted by UM-Flint, Explore Flint & Genesee and the city of Flint, the celebration highlighted not only McKenney’s accomplishments on the court, but the pride and spirit of a community that continues to produce champions. 💙💛

Officer Friendly Day was back for year five on May 9, and the impact keeps getting bigger. What started in Flint is now drawing attention across the country as a model for strengthening relationships between law enforcement and the autism community. Through interactive experiences, thoughtful programming and plenty of moments of joy, families and officers connected in ways that go beyond the badge. It was a day built on trust, understanding and shared experience.
