Inspired by the diversity of the University of Michigan community, our project aims to collect a piece of UMich character and share it back. As the snow melts this spring, you will see the UMich Traveling Rocks scattered throughout every campus! The purpose of these stones is to connect strangers through kind words, conversations, memories, and advice.

A QR code on each rock guides its finder to add a message or photo to its journey. We will be compiling these messages on our instagram and website for everyone to see! Finders are encouraged to bring their stone to a favorite place or pass it off to a friend. This way, the rocks will soak up some of the knowledge and personality from a variety of areas as they travel. We hope this living project continues to grow in the delightful community that we all call home, setting our shared messages in stone.
