College Day

About College Day

College Day is a partnership between the University of Michigan and the State of Michigan to provide free pre-college programs designed to inform, engage and inspire middle and high school students to reach post-secondary education by demystifying the college-going process, while building futures and inspiring young minds.

College Day is about providing students an intentional and nurturing space to be informed with tools and resources to be successful in college. We really want students to feel confident as they prepare to enter college."
