Ford School Public Events

Cheers, Ford School alumni and friends!

You are invited to attend the inaugural Worldwide Ford School Spirit Day on July 14 at a festive establishment in a city near you.

Just what is Worldwide Ford School Spirit Day?

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Public Policy & International Affairs program – a program designed to build diversity in public service. The University of Michigan's Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy has proudly supported PPIA since its inception in 1981 and has been one of just a handful of policy schools to host the educational initiative every summer. To celebrate the milestone and recognize the many people who have contributed to the program at the University of Michigan over the years, we'll host an anniversary celebration here at the Ford School on Friday, July 22.
