Sponsor a Welcome to Michigan event

If your organization would like to sponsor an event during Welcome, you may fill out an on-line event submission form by July 9, 2012. Events must be submitted by this date in order to meet publication deadlines.

If you are having trouble thinking of an event to sponsor, take a look at the events submitted last year on UM*Events to get some ideas, or contact us at welcome@umich.edu. We will be happy to assist you in any way we can. This will also help in reducing the number of similar events offered throughout the week.

You may also browse this year's Anchor Events and events that have been submitted thus far in order to not duplicate events or program at the same time as a popular event.

Student Organization Grant Program

The Office of New Student Programs has limited grant funds availble for Voluntary and Sponsored Student Organizations interested in planning a Welcome to Michigan event. Here are other funding sources you may be able to use:
