Wolverine Pathways Wolverine Pathways
Your Future.
Your Pathway.

Wolverine Pathways seeks to confront the barriers that limit the college and career aspirations of highly motivated students from under-resourced communities.

About the program
  • A young person in a dark hoodie sits at a classroom table, looking toward the camera while working with hands near papers; another student sits nearby, with windows and desks in the softly lit background.
  • Two people sitting at a classroom table, smiling at the camera while working with printed worksheets, crayons, and a phone; desks and chairs are visible in the background.
  • A group of people sit around a table playing a card game indoors, with several cards spread on a green felt surface and one person in a red shirt smiling while another leans in to play.
  • A person in a lab coat and blue gloves adjusts a face covering while wearing safety goggles and applying white cream to the forehead; others work in the background in a clinical setting.
  • Students in blue shirts stand in a group indoors, smiling and clapping while looking toward a table with a green-and-yellow decorated centerpiece; an EXIT sign glows on the back wall.
  • A group of students in a classroom sit at desks, wearing dark hoodies and headscarves, talking and looking toward the front as notebooks and papers rest on the table.
