Detroit Engagement
U-M’s engagement with Detroit has extended over two centuries, and the Michigan Ross commitment to Detroit has continued for over 30 years, a mission that inextricably links the campus with this city of makers.
While neighborhood revitalization makes progress, and transformation is exciting, challenges still remain in struggling neighborhoods. Helping hands are needed to grow businesses, and leadership and counsel are instrumental to nonprofits; and your voice, your education, your participation will influence the innovation and gains of a new Detroit. We invite you to join us in partnering with people of Detroit to grow a more prosperous and democratic future.
