How important was the alumni network for you/your D/S?

I never used my alumni network as a resource for work but as a pool of great people DH and I could meet up with anywhere on the planet who have shared some magical years in Ann Arbor. We are both lifetime members of the U-M alumni organization and get together with other alums to watch football games, attend cocktail hours, talk to prospective students, raise scholarship funds, and just enjoy ourselves at each other’s homes. No matter where we go, we’ve been able to find an active club. Grads leave Michigan, but Michigan never leaves us.

Our son is a member of The Long Gray Line, a band of brothers that he can count on for life. He doesn’t have to worry about a job for the next nine years, so I suspect he will rely on his military network for the same type of comaraderie we do ours.
