Welcome to Rackham Graduate School! We’re thrilled to invite our newly admitted graduate students to this exciting event designed to connect you with the resources, people, and opportunities that will empower your experience at the University of Michigan.

The day kicks off with a special Ceremony at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre in the Michigan League. Join us to hear inspiring remarks from Dean Mike Solomon and student leaders. You'll gain valuable insight into the vibrant community and extensive offerings at Rackham Graduate School.

Immediately following the ceremony, proceed down the hall to the Info Fair, featuring over 30 campus partners, resources, and organizations committed to supporting your academic and personal journey. Rackham's Info Fair provides the premier opportunity for newly admitted graduate students to learn about the many resources and organizations available to them at Rackham and around the university.

At the same time, enjoy the Rackham Student Organization Lunch on Ingalls Mall North (just across from Rackham Graduate School). Connect with fellow students while enjoying music from a live DJ, refreshments, and lawn games—and learn about the many student organizations that enrich campus life.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Rackham! This ceremony and info fair will be an exciting first step in your graduate school journey—and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
