A Note from the
CAS
C Staff:

Greetings CASC'ers!
You have officially completed Winter semester! We hope that you are celebrating this achievement and give yourself time to have some fun before new internships and summer jobs begin. We always welcome photos and any updates you'd like to share as your embark on summer journeys. We're still around and you can always reach out!
Also, we want to acknowledge Nourel-Hoda Eidy, the CASC Program Assistant. Congratulations on being named "Student of the Year"! She makes so much of our work possible.

Public Health junior Nourel-Hoda Eidy has left her mark at the University of Michigan, that's for sure. She is the founder of multiple programs for Arab students on campus, a founding sister of the first Arab sorority at the University, Co-Director of PILOT and a program assistant for the Community Action and Social Change office.
Eidy is a voice of change in her community, as well as for other communities of color. She said one of her driving forces to advocate for change on campus were the older students who paved the path for social change. "I wanted to pave the way for new students," Eidy said. "I identified gaps in what my community needed, and I started to address these."

Congratulations, Nour! You are a shining example of excellence at the University of Michigan!
Well-deserved!
