ABOUT US
Founded as Michigamua in 1902, Order of Angell brings together up to 25 leaders from distinct organizations with the goal of making Michigan a better place.
By bringing together leaders from diverse corners of campus, we hope to promote interconnectedness at Michigan, develop leadership, and engage in short and long-term leadership projects. Learning about different groups, populations, and individuals allows us as leaders to make our work more effective, more honest, and more salient to specific segments and the entire campus community at large. A current initiative that we are working on is Leaders for Life. LFL works to advance exceptional student leadership across campus. Part of this is a two day conference founded on deep research aimed at offering current student leaders an opportunity to reflect on and develop their leadership.
Order of Angell is a merit-based organization and individuals invited to join demonstrate valued leadership qualities, as determined by their peers. With 100% turnover each year, each class is comprised of completely new membership that operates autonomously on initiatives we feel are most important for the current campus climate
We stand for diversity, inclusion and transparency - values that we strive for within our own roles on campus.
