Family Member

As a family member or other supporter of a University of Michigan student, you play a critical role throughout your student’s educational journey. OAMI strives to support your student as well. OAMI supports and celebrates students’ unique experiences, backgrounds, communities, and identities through its core programs and campus-wide events.
