Military-Connected at U-M

The University of Michigan is proud to support a diverse community of military-connected students, faculty, staff, alumni, and families. Veterans, active-duty service members, Reserve and National Guard members, ROTC cadets, and military family members enrich U-M through their leadership, experience, and commitment to service. Together, they strengthen our campuses and advance a more inclusive, connected university community.
