Welcome to Rackham Graduate School!

Fall Welcome 2026 is an exciting afternoon designed to officially welcome newly admitted graduate students to Rackham and the University of Michigan community.

The event begins with a formal Ceremony in Rackham Auditorium featuring remarks from Dean Mike Solomon and student leaders. Immediately following, students are invited to explore the Info Fair throughout the Rackham building, where over 40 campus partners and student organizations will share resources and opportunities to support academic, professional, and personal success.

Simultaneously, students may attend the Student Organization Event, featuring music and refreshments, providing a fun opportunity to meet peers and get involved on campus.

Fall Welcome serves as the official launch of the graduate experience at Rackham, connecting students with community, resources, and opportunities from day one.
