On October 10th, the U-M Washington, D.C. office hosted a reception for U-M alumni working on Capitol Hill. More than 150 U-M alumni work in on Capitol Hill across both chambers of Congress and political parties. The U-M DC office regularly engages with U-M alumni working on Capitol Hill on issues of grave importance to the University of Michigan and broader higher education and research community. It is rewarding to work with so many U-M alumni who have dedicated themselves to public service. The reception was a great opportunity to engage with the many U-M alumni the U-M DC office works with every day and meet some new wolverines working on Capitol Hill.
