As the winter semester comes to a close, signs of spring have been blooming across the U-M Central Campus. From colorful flowers reaching for the sun to students enjoying the warm rays and longer days, all signs indicate summer is not far off. Above left, students Christine Renke, left, and Marissa Fellows share a laugh while laying out in the sun on the Diag on a recent warm day. Whether on their way to class or just taking a break in front of the Hatcher Graduate Library, students, faculty and staff are enjoying the spring weather.
