Your student guide will share stories of Michigan’s most notable alumni, from President Gerald Ford and Google co-founder Larry Page to Madonna and Tom Brady. You’ll also hear about unique traditions like rubbing the Block M for luck, the annual Hash Bash festival, and the Maize and Blue spirit that unites students and alumni worldwide.
