CMU Alumni and Friends in The Villages

An afternoon of planning, connection, and maroon and gold pride! 

Join fellow CMU Alumni and friends for an exciting day in The Villages! Start with an Estate Planning Session, led by Jeremy Mishler, Central Michigan University’s Deputy Chief of Advancement and Campaign Strategies, and Joe Halewicz, Central Michigan Univeristy's Executive Director of Principal/Planned Gifts and Regional Development. This session will inform attendees about numerous gift planning options including retirement plans, gifts, charitable trusts, gifts of property and more. Following this informative session, stick around right at The Waterfront Inn for an alumni and friends social! Grab some fun CMU swag and chat with fellow CMU Chippewas and supporters. Registration for the alumni social includes entry in a CMU raffle, hors d’oeuvres,  and one drink ticket good for house wine or beer. Additional drinks will be the responsibility of the attendees. A cash bar will be available.
