A2Y Chamber Event: Early Edition - September 2026

The University of Michigan continues to have a tremendous impact on the economic vitality, growth, and future of Washtenaw County. With several significant projects underway, this year’s University of Michigan Update will give Chamber members an inside look at developments that are helping shape both the University and our broader community.

Our University of Michigan leadership panel will provide updates on three major initiatives: the National Laboratory development, the UM Geddes Complex on the former Concordia University property, and the opening of Wolverine Village I, the University’s new student residential complex.

Join us for a timely conversation about these projects, what they mean for the University, and their potential impact on our region’s economy, workforce, housing, infrastructure, and future growth.

Panel includes:

Chris Kolb, Vice President, Office of Government Relations

Steve Ceccio, Special Advisor to the Provost, Office of the Provost and Executive for the Vice President Academic Affairs

Sue Gott, Campus Planner, Architecture, Engineering & Construction
