U-M’s president, Mary Sue Coleman, cites the Squirrel Club as evidence of campus diversity.

Every fall, a spectacular scene unfolds at the University of Michigan.

Thousands of students converge upon the Diag, the physical and spiritual heart of our campus. They move through a gauntlet of booths and tables set up by hundreds of student organizations.

Display upon display beckons students, exposing them to the activities and interests of groups like the Michigan Gospel Chorale…the Persian Students Association…the Black Student Union…and Michigan Entrepreneurs.

Students can seek out the Michigan Ice Carving Team…or the Punjabi Student Organization…or perhaps Hillel or the Hindu Students Council.

And don’t forget the Michigan Squirrel Club.
