Gifts of Art presents Our Campus Pets: Squirrels at U-M, Photography by Corey Seeman

It might be said that you are never completely alone when you walk on the campus at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. While each large University has numerous students, faculty and staff, the companions being referred to here are the “Campus Pets,” the wonderful Eastern Fox Squirrels of the University of Michigan. These animals have been capturing the attention of generations of Michigan community members.

Librarian Corey Seeman started taking photographs of the campus squirrels in 2008 and has not stopped. While he has also photographed many other topics, the campus squirrels are his very favorite subject. Shared here are a few of Corey's very favorite pictures, from the over 130,000 photographs taken of our campus pets.
