Location

Ann Arbor


There are at least 100 ways to show your Ford School spirit.

One fun way is to attend the third annual Worldwide Ford School Spirit Day, coming this July to a city near you. It's President Ford's centennial year, and we encourage you to come together and enjoy some Ford School fellowship.

Just what is Worldwide Ford School Spirit Day?

  • An alumni-led opportunity for you to catch up with Ford School friends, including alums, current students, incoming students, and other community members — all are welcome!
  • A chance to hear more about President Ford's centennial year and the upcoming 100th anniversary celebration of the Ford School in 2014
  • An excuse to toast President Ford–he would have been 100 on July 14.

***RSVP for the specific Spirit Day gatherings below.

Or, if your city is not on the list, contact Elisabeth Johnston, Alumni Relations manager, at [email protected] or 734-615-5760, for information on how you can organize a Spirit Day in your city. All Spirit Day gatherings are free to attend; food and drinks will be available for purchase.
