Spring Preview is designed to help admitted master's students get to know our faculty, staff, and students—and each other!

We look forward to welcoming you to Ann Arbor, to experience the Ford School community, the University of Michigan campus, and our wonderful city! We will soon be sharing additional information, including information about panelists, how to access panels remotely (particularly for our admitted students abroad), and more.

Travel funding support and a hotel discount are available—see details below the day's schedule.
