About Michigan Today

Michigan Today's mission is to inform and engage U-M alumni with compelling stories of importance to them. It is published online 10 times/year by the University of Michigan News Service, and emailed to some 225,000 readers around the world.

Michigan Today is one of several alumni publications put out by U-M. Each school and college offers publications for its graduates, and the U-M Alumni Association sends its magazine to members. Michigan Today fits into this mix as the one publication to address all alums regardless of their school or association affiliation. We try to speak to the entire alumni community, and to connect our readers across disciplines.

We love to hear from you, both about how we're doing and what you're up to. Send us letters to the editor about the material we publish, alumni notes about your latest doings, and your memories for our U-M history section, Heritage.
