Ford School celebrates 95th with an alumni reunion weekend

Monday, October 12, 2009

Alumni from across the country and across the eras traveled back to Ann Arbor to help the Ford School celebrate its 95th birthday in September. Attendees heard Dean Susan M. Collins talk about the school, listened as faculty spoke about their work, enjoyed a reception and dinner with student organizations, and participated in the first-ever all-school tailgate before watching the Wolverines defeat Indiana in the first Big Ten game of the season.

Let the countdown to 100 begin! Meanwhile, here is a slideshow of some of the weekend's best moments.
