Agents of Change explores the connection between diversity, campus climate, and student engagement in U‑M’s North Campus institutions (Stamps School of Art & Design; College of Engineering; School of Music, Theatre and Dance; and the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning). The exhibition is organized by a team of students from the North Campus schools, headed by members of Stamps in Color, a student organization dedicated to increasing the creative, social, and professional opportunities for students of color at Stamps: Brian Garcia (BFA ‘16), Amy Kamdem-Wandji (BFA ‘17), and Beatriz Lozano (BFA ‘16). The team also includes students from NOMAS (National Organization for Minority Architects) and Planners Network representing Taubman College, and engineering senior capstone students acting as liaisons for College of Engineering. Stamps faculty Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo and Marianetta Porter and Stamps staff advisor Brian Banks provided mentorship and additional support. Agents of Change is an official U‑M 2016 MLK Day Symposium event.
