The funds that are received from the sale of these plates helps to support a variety of outreach activities in the state. These projects benefit students and faculty who participate in providing the outreach.
University of Michigan alumni who work in and around the State government are encouraged to participate in the Wolverine Caucus. Our mission is to provide diverse forums at which University of Michigan friends can meet one another, enjoy fellowship, exchange views and learn from the world-class talents of U-M faculty and administrators.
