Although classes re mandatory, students often devoted just a much or more k of theif fc and heart to their organizations. Community service organizations, such as the Detroit Project, Relay for Life, ind DaR Marathon, were some of the largest and most well- publicized on campus, and held one large event each year. The University Activities Center (UAC), the University ' s student- run programming organization, funded groups that provided entertainment for students, such as the musical theater group MUSKET and the a cappella group Amazin ' Blue. Publications, such as The Michigan Daily and the Gargoyle humor magazine gave students an opportunity to learn about journalism and the publishing world, while also allowing them to leave their mark at the University. Academic and multicultural organizations also gave students the opportunity to expand their interests and backgrounds with other students, allowing themselves to grow while educating others.
