The Chancellor announced this morning that UM-Flint is establishing a NAIA athletic program for the 2028-2029 season and joining the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) the following season. As part of that, we are very excited to share that the Rec Center will receive a multi-million-dollar renovation! This will include highly anticipated items such as all-wood gym courts, air conditioning throughout the entire facility, a new front counter, windows around the track, and new locker rooms. This work must be done on a rapid schedule to ensure the building is ready for varsity teams in fall 2028.
UM-Flint will launch a varsity athletics program hanks to a $5 million grant from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation.
