Go to a game
Make sure they’re a Wolverine fan by showing off your Maize and Blue spirit at a football game or soccer match. Look for the Wolverine Trooper, do a bit of tailgating, then cheer on the Wolverines together. Try some new food at the Big House or swap sports stories.

Let that nerd knowledge rip
Show off that tiny-armed Majungasaurus impersonation you’ve been working on when you visit the University of Michigan Museum of Natural History. Impress with the perfect pronunciation of Quetzalcoatlus pterosaur (definitely practice that) and show off your history knowledge. Be sure to slip in this fun fact: The burned bits of the five pillars in the "Evolution: Life Through Time" exhibit represent the amount of life that went extinct during each major extinction.
