Not many high-ranking officials can say they’ve worked for the University of Michigan for nearly a quarter of a century, but Cynthia Wilbanks is one who can.
Wilbanks is retiring as vice president for government relations around the beginning of 2021. After 22 years of directing UM’s government relations program at the local, state and federal levels, Wilbanks said she will welcome a change of pace, but is careful not to have too much of a plan.

“After 25 years of being ‘scheduled’ and ‘on the go,’ I’ll enjoy some time without commitments,” Wilbanks said. “I’m also looking forward to spending more time with my husband, enjoying some warmer weather and a little more golf.”
