When referring to Michigan, I emphasize our tradition of academic excellence as well as our athletic competitiveness, or the Michigan Difference. I argue that their is no other public institution in the United States that is know for having the best college rivalry, or fight song. We are a public institution with such a proud alumni base, that a former president of the US played 'Hail to the Victors Valient' as he enters a room. Overall, Michigan's 400,000+ alumni emphasize why the 'Michigan Difference' is a force to be acknowledge when referencing the US's Leader and Best!
