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.
