The Michigan Difference

Since becoming a Michigan Wolverine in 2011 I have been told countless times that Michigan has a huge alumni base. They said don't be surprised if you here "go blue" on your travels. Well day 1 of my Switzerland trip and I have already bonded with a Michigan alum. He was the passenger to my right on my plane ride from Atlanta to Zurich. He is a stats professor at a college in Iowa, in the summer he spends 3 weeks in Ann Arbor teaching a class at the university, and now he is in Switzerland to teach a one week course to professors and Phd students. It's amazing how the University of Michigan connects people. GO BLUE!
