We are excited to announce the Non- and Post-Traditional Student Community Group (NPTCG) Winter 2026 Kickoff Event happening on Friday, September 4, 2026, from 6 PM to 8 PM, in the LSA Multipurpose Room (LSA 1040)!

This special, kid-friendly event is designed to create a welcoming and supportive space for non-traditional students (those 24-years or older; returning to education after a significant break; part-time students; those balancing education with other significant life responsibilities such as being a parent/guardian/caretaker; nontraditional completion of high school education; military veteran; or was in the foster-care system 13-years old or older, experiencing home insecurity or family structure) and post-traditional students (those who might have started their academic journey later in life) while they pursue their education at U-M.

If you identity with any one of these identities, this event is a great chance to:
- Enjoy free food and swag 🎉
- Meet and connect with fellow non- and post-traditional students
- Learn about the NPTCG and resources available to support your journey at U-M
- Join in on fun activities that celebrate our unique community

Whether you are a current NPTCG member or if this is your first semester at LSA and looking for a community to call your own, we are here for you. So, no matter your path to U-M, we want to build a space that supports your success and offers you a place to belong. You are also welcome to bring guests to this event, such as partners, kids, or family members! We hope you’ll join us for a night of fun and connection!
