Alumnae Council

100 Years of Supporting the University of Michigan Community

Welcome to the University of Michigan Alumnae Council (UMAC), the association of women graduates of the University of Michigan. The Alumnae Council is one of several affiliate organizations of the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan. Established in 1917, it is made up of interested individuals and members of seven active alumnae clubs. Members raise money for scholarships to worthy students, promote the University in their communities, encourage outstanding students to attend the University, and promote the interest of women in the University community, including the Alumni Association.

In addition to the above, the Council has changed the landscape of the U-M campus, raising the funds to build the Michigan League, purchasing the first women’s cooperative residence (Henderson House), and providing the start-up monies for the Center for the Education of Women.

The Alumnae Council is managed by an elected executive committee and governing board. Elections are held at the spring meeting each year. To view our current board, see the Alumnae Council Contacts page. Membership in the Council is open to everyone who supports our mission — men or women, alumni of the University of Michigan or not.
