SUMMARY:Michigan and the American Civil War: A Conversation with Historian Jack Dempsey
DESCRIPTION:The American Civil War was a bloody four-year conflict that not only ended slavery in the United States\, but fundamentally changed the country in innumerable ways that still echo today. The young state of Michigan played a key role in the union’s victory both on and off the battlefield. Join us for a conversation with historian Jack Dempsey about Michiganders’ Civil War experiences and how its legacy shaped Michigan history. \nJack Dempsey is an avid historian who has long been interested in the Civil War and its role in Michigan’s history and cultural heritage. An award-winning author he has written eleven books\, numerous articles\, and given innumerable talks to academic and general audiences\, as well as serving as President of the Michigan Historical Commission. He has a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from Michigan State University and a law degree from George Washington University. \nThis talk is in conjunction with the exhibition “Fill the Ranks”: the University of Michigan and the Civil War\, on display September 24\, 2026-July 2\, 2027. \nRefreshments will be provided\, and anyone is welcome to attend this free talk. Registration is recommended for in-person attendance\, and we’re glad to welcome anyone who wishes to attend virtually.  \nThe Making Michigan series is co-sponsored by the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:The Rise and Fall of the NCAA - How We Got Into This Mess
DESCRIPTION:When the topic of revenue sharing with student-athletes came up in 2023\, U-M Coach Jim Harbaugh loudly supported it\, arguing that “The current status quo is unacceptable and won’t survive.” Those words proved prophetic and today the world of college athletics is in rapid flux. Join us to hear from Lecturer Greg Dooley to hear about how similar concerns led to the creation of the National Collegiate Athletic Association in 1906\, how the organization evolved and grew in power\, how that power has collapsed over the last decade\, and what it means for the Wolverines. \nGreg Dooley is a devoted Michigan sports fan\, having covered the history and culture of Michigan sports for over twenty years at his website MVictors.com. A full-time lecturer in the Marsal Family School of Education\, he teaches courses on “The History of College Athletics” leadership through coaching\, and on Name\, Image\, and Likeness (NIL) contracts. He also frequently appears as a guest on local radio shows\, history documentaries\, and as a speaker for university teams and alumni groups. \nRefreshments will be provided\, and anyone is welcome to attend this free talk. Registration is recommended for in-person attendance\, and we’re glad to welcome anyone who wishes to attend virtually.  \nThe Making Michigan series is co-sponsored by the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan.
