100 years of policy at Michigan. 100 ways to show your Ford School spirit. One fun way? Attend the fourth annual Worldwide Ford School Spirit Day, coming this July to a city near you.

Just what is Worldwide Ford School Spirit Day?

  • A series of alumni-led festivities, in cities near and far, that let you meet and mingle with Ford School friends;
  • An opportunity to toast your alma mater's 100th anniversary; and
  • A great excuse to get out of the house and office, show off your plus one and baby photos, share war room stories, kvetch about political theater, and more.

***RSVP for the specific Spirit Day gatherings below. All Spirit Day gatherings are free to attend; food and drinks will be available for purchase. If your city is not on the list, contact Elisabeth Johnston, Alumni Relations manager, at eajohnst[at]umich.edu or 734-615-5760, for information on how you can organize a Spirit Day in your city.
