Leaders and Best

Hail to the Victors Valiant
Hail to the Conquering Heroes
Hail, Hail to Michigan
The Leaders and Best

The Big Ten GOLD (Graduates Of Last Decade) Challenge has started, and you can lead Michigan on to Victory! The Big Ten GOLD Challenge is an exciting opportunity for recent undergraduates, from the Class of 1993-2002, to show your loyalty and commitment to keeping Michigan the "Leaders and Best".

Private support is a critical part of the resource package that makes the University of Michigan a truly great University. Without the gifts of thousands of the alumni who have come before you, Michigan could not have achieved its rank as a premiere higher education institution. Support from each alumnus/ae is critical to current programs and to the future stature of your alma mater.

Gifts to the Michigan Enrichment Funds provide schools, colleges, and campuses with venture capital to allow Deans to make important investments that are not covered by regular budget resources. They also enable the schools and colleges to respond to unexpected but important programmatic requests during the course of the year. Such investments and requests provide unique educational experiences for undergraduate and graduate students, laboratory and technology upgrades, study abroad opportunities, visiting lecture series, scholarships and student aid, collaborative faculty-student research projects, enhanced classroom resources, and new curriculum designs. All these things can happen with your support.

With your help and generosity, Michigan can grow our recent graduate participation rates and win the Big Ten GOLD Challenge. Your University will be stronger because you got involved AND you will help the University of Michigan maintain its place as "Leaders and Best"!

Become Michigan GOLD! Make your gift today!
