Wolverine Caucus Media

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.

Check out our Wolverine Caucus page for upcoming events, our Lansing News & Events page for other happenings and our U-M Lansing Service Center YouTube Channel!
