University of Michigan - Flint

"When we think about universities, we should not think of buildings and labs and desks and blackboards. Not even of books, as much as we love them, or computers, as much as we need them. Universities are people: students, faculty, staff, alumni and members of the community—people engaged in the noble and never-ending pursuit of knowledge, understanding and making a difference."

- Juan E. Mestas, Former Chancellor

Through the individual experiences and accomplishments of our faculty, staff, students, alumni & friends, this university's mission is brought to life.

Excellence in Teaching, Learning & Scholarship

Student Centeredness

Engaged Citizenship

These are the pillars upon which the University of Michigan-Flint was built. For over 50 years, their importance and meaning have not changed, even as the individuals who aspire to them, draw inspiration from them and are transformed by them, take that importance and meaning from this campus to the world.

Every definition of success and every path to it is unique. Every individual's story is unique. Yet taken collectively, they tell the real story of the University of Michigan-Flint: Real impact on real lives.
