Future Alumni of Michigan is the Alumni Association’s newest student ambassador group, launched in fall 2023. FAM ambassadors play a vital role in engaging students with the Alumni Association, promoting its programs and services, and ensuring student voices are represented. They collaborate with student organizations and contribute to the development of student-focused initiatives by offering input on programming, events, and outreach.

As the Alumni Association’s on-campus street team, FAM ambassadors create meaningful opportunities for students to connect with alumni. Through their efforts, they foster stronger relationships between students and alumni while enhancing the student experience.

Currently, FAM consists of 10 student volunteers who meet regularly with Alumni Association staff to brainstorm, plan, and execute student-centered events and programs. These include Welcome Wednesdays, the Forever Go Blue Bash, Wellness Weeks, orientation activities, and homecoming celebrations.
