We welcomed the following institutions to the SEISMIC community this fall. These are not the only institutions that can participate in SEISMIC. This is a starting list that helps ensure that each SEISMIC institution has strong cross-campus connections to make the most of their involvement in SEISMIC Phase Two.

MOUs

 To join SEISMIC Phase Two, we ask that each institution work with SEISMIC to develop a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The MOU is a legally non-binding, organizing document intended to help institutions make appropriate campus connections prior to starting involvement in SEISMIC.  We have found in the past that our most engaged SEISMIC institutions had a strong network on their own campus to leverage SEISMIC activity. Participation in SEISMIC is voluntary and subject to each institution’s internal discretion. We share an MOU template below to help clarify what we are looking for, and encourage you to reach out to Project Manager Nita Tarchinski at nitaked@umich.edu with any questions or concerns regarding the process. Please reach out to Tarchinski to indicate interest in joining SEISMIC, even if you are still working on your MOU, so we can plan accordingly.
