Mission

The Adelia Cheever Program, a Michigan Learning Community, develops exceptional leaders and responsible global citizens by creating a close community within the larger university in which students can cultivate vital skills, knowledge, and support.  The Cheever Program values the Cheever legacy, multiculturalism and diversity, international perspectives, every woman's experience, and life-long learning. 

Cheever students participate in a variety of activities that prepare them to live, work and lead in our world society, regardless of their academic or career pursuits.

What's in it for you?

• leadership opportunities through chairing committees or mentoring peers
• a small community of like-minded students within a larger university
• scholarships
• opportunities to network with alumnae of all ages, university leaders, and faculty
• living in a small women's residence hall on central campus
• learning opportunities without having to leave your home
• getting to know others from diverse backgrounds

Cheever participants live together in Helen Newberry Residence. U. S. and international students benefit from this small, supportive environment that facilitates cultural exchange, knowledge of world events and perspectives, and a smooth transition to University life for new students.
