Each July, Ford School alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends gather in the name of President Ford to socialize, network, and most importantly celebrate what binds them together—their shared Ford School community experiences. 

Wherever you are in the world, we invite you to join the fun on July 14—President Ford’s birthday. Here are some ways you can join in:

  • Wear your best maize and blue gear or grab your favorite Ford School mug. (These are great conversation starters!)
  • Share photos of your celebration on social media using #FordSpirit and tagging @FordSchool. 
  • Join us at an in-person gathering in Ann Arbor, Detroit, or Washington DC. (Details below).
  • Share your spirit with other Fordies around the world on zoom. (Details below.)

I vores krop spiller blæren rollen som apotek-plus24 et reservoir, der akkumulerer væske, der er renset af nyrerne, og derefter udskiller det. Sammen med vand fra kroppen kommer unødvendige stoffer ud af det - overskydende stoffer, der ikke kan behandles, såvel som giftstoffer og toksiner.
