In 2009-10, the University of Michigan-Dearborn will celebrate its 50th anniversary. Founded in 1959, with a gift of land and $6.5 million from Ford Motor Company, UM-Dearborn has grown into an integral part of the University of Michigan as well as the metropolitan Detroit region. We are looking forward to celebrating with the entire UM-Dearborn community. We're creating a special Web site to help celebrate our 50th Anniversary. Right now, we're collecting memories and photos from alumni, students, faculty and staff about your time here at UM-Dearborn. Please click through to our splash page to share your memories! New! You can follow UM-Dearborn on Twitter! We're sharing news and interesting facts from our past 50 years on Twitter.

We'll be adding a list of Frequently Asked Questions very soon! In summer 2007, Chancellor Little convened a small, cross-campus team to begin the initial planning for the celebration. The committee is co-chaired by Stanley Henderson, Vice Chancellor for Enrollment and Student Life, and Tom Baird, Vice Chancellor for Institutional Advancement. The committee includes:
Martin Hershock, Chair of the History Department (and an alumnus)
Amy Karaban, Assistant Director, Student Activities
Tim Richards, Director, Mardigian Library
Malayappan Shridhar, Associate Provost
Cathy Staples, Director of Marketing
The Coordinating Committee continues to meet on a monthly basis. The Coordinating Committee submitted a White Paper summarizing its work to Chancellor Little in February 2008. The revised White Paper is now available for review. Please note that continuing discussions about the Anniversary have continued beyond the submission of the White Paper. |
