The Alumnae Council of the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan

  Welcome to the Alumnae Council, the association of women graduates of the University of Michigan.

The Council meets in the fall and spring each year usually in Ann Arbor. Meetings include reports on committee activities, educational programs about the University, and opportunities to connect with other women graduates during social activities. The next meeting will be Saturday, September 20, 2008 at U-M Flint where Vice Chancellor Mary Jo Sekelsky will talk about the newly completed (and first) dormitory on the Flint Campus. See our Upcoming Events page for more details. All meetings are open to the public and we welcome your participation.

The Alumnae Council is one of several affiliate organizations of the University of Michigan Alumni Association. It is made up of interested individuals and members of 13 active alumnae clubs. Members raise money for scholarships to worthy students, promote the University in their communities, encourage outstanding students to attend the Michigan, and promote the interest of women in the university community including the Alumni Association.The Council enhances the university community through its various programs such as The Birthday Greeting and Athena Award, and by giving student scholarships. Last year, the Alumnae Council awarded over $350,000 to various programs and scholars on the Ann Arbor campus. And, we have a program to honor our own hard-working volunteers through Service Citation awards.

The Council is managed by an elected executive committee and governing board. Elections are held at the spring meeting each year. To view our current board, see the Alumnae Council Contacts page. Membership in the Alumnae Council is open to everyone who supports our mission--men or women, alumni of the University of Michigan or not.
