Hey Wolverines, it's Jenny with your Campus Update for November 17 through November 24. Let's get you set for the week—fast.



First up—the University of Michigan Annual Data Science & AI Summit kicks off today at 9 a.m. at the Michigan Union. This flagship event brings together leading voices from academia, industry, and U-M leadership to explore how data science and AI are shaping the future of research and innovation. Keynote speakers include Andrew Connolly from the University of Washington and Ashley Llorens from Microsoft Research. It's free for U-M faculty, staff, students, and alumni, but registration is required.

Next, the University Choir presents "Love Divine: Mystical Songs and Sacred Reflections" tonight at 8 p.m. in Hill Auditorium. The program features works by James MacMillan, Lili Boulanger, and Ralph Vaughan Williams. No tickets are required, and there's a free livestream available.

Finally, the Concert Band wraps up the term with "Rhapsody" on Monday, November 24, at 8 p.m. in Hill Auditorium. The performance includes the world premiere of "Ad Astra" by Stephen Elsinger and Gershwin's iconic "Rhapsody in Blue" featuring faculty pianist Amy I-Lin Cheng. Admission is free.



Over the weekend, Michigan football edged out Northwestern 24–22 at Wrigley Field in Chicago. Jordan Marshall led the charge with two rushing touchdowns, and Bryce Underwood added another. The Wolverines held off a late Northwestern rally to secure the win.
