Changes which provide an updated and relevant ed- ucation for Michigan students are constantly being made in the individual schools which make up the university. Progress in technology, methods and curriculum are emphasized in the schools of Nurs- ing Education, Dentistry, Music, Engineering and Pharmacy. The Nursing School is working on a long range plan of student self instruction. By employing more visual aids in the labs, the school foresees nurses who can teach themselves at their own rate. Changes in the Education School include a new dean, a new student advisory committee, an urban training program and rennovation of the building. Electronic music, added in the past three years and the use of videotapes are advances being made in the Music School. A unique area of learning is Collegium Musicum, the study of medieval instru- ments. Engineering stresses advanced technology and experimentation. A new course in the Engineering school relating man to his environment was offered this year. An emphasis on community dentistry and social awareness provides the Dental School with an early introduction to clinical experience. Patient contact, self-instruction and personal elective choices are available to students. Greater importance is given to social problems in the Pharmacy School where exposure to drug ther- apy is emphasized. The Pharmacy School was one of the first to have student members on the cur- riculum committee. Meaningful training and flexible structure have encouraged changes in Michigan ' s schools. Some of the innovations are small such as new instru- ments but others directly affect student progress and awareness of current developments. Education School
