Meet the future
The world needs bold leaders ready to tackle urgent environmental challenges. At SEAS, we say “bring it on.” We’re the architects of a new tomorrow: transforming research into action to create a healthier planet for all.
Why SEAS?
It's time to shape our EV future
The North American International Auto Show in Detroit and the annual observation of Climate Week drew to a close over the weekend, highlighting the synergy between mobility and climate action, which are deeply intertwined. The emissions from transportation recently outpaced the emissions from energy generation, meaning that progress in both areas is critical to moving forward in a low-carbon manner. Now is the time to focus on our autonomous and electrified future, says Liesl Eichler Clark, U-M's director of climate action engagement.
