Celebrating Alumni

Meet our Alumni Difference Makers, and learn more about the Alumni Difference Makers Awards.
Do you know UM-Dearborn alumni who are making a positive impact like these Alumni Difference Makers? Our alumni are “difference makers” who have continued the university’s legacy of leadership in their lives and careers through their contributions to the university and community. You are invited to join us in honoring deserving UM-Dearborn graduates at this year’s 2026 Alumni Difference Makers Awards ceremony during Homecoming week in October. Deadline for the 2026 awards is May 26, 2026. Nominate an alum today!

The Mardigian Library at the University of Michigan-Dearborn contains many books written by our alumni. The Alumni Authors Collection allows students and faculty to view the intellectual accomplishments of UM-Dearborn graduates, and read their scholarly contributions to selected fields of study. We invite you to be a part of this unique collection and share your book today!

We want to hear about what you’ve been up to and how UM-Dearborn has made a difference in your career and personal life. Tell us what’s new with you and how UM‑Dearborn has shaped your journey, professionally and personally. Let us celebrate you—send in your class notes today!

Join us as we feature a UM-Dearborn alum or faculty presentation in our Alumni Engagement Speaker Series. The series will highlight Wolverine thought leaders sharing career advice, innovative ideas, leadership lessons, and more.
