Executive Board

Committees

To establish a support system for public interest-minded students at the University of Michigan, OPIS links up first-, second-, and third-year students into mentorship groups. Members share information about class selection, job hunting, how to establish professional contacts, summer funding, and a host of other public interest issues.
