Zell Alumni Network

The gift of time that is a fully-funded MFA degree is, for many of our graduates, matched—and even eclipsed—by the gift of true community. Many of us find lifeong friends, colleagues, and readers during our time at Michigan. In recognition of this vital phenomenon and in an effort to help foster its continuation beyond the conferral of the degree itself (and the geographical scattering that tends to follow), the Helen Zell Writers' Program has recently committed to building and faciliating ZAN, the Zell Alumni Network.

If you are an alum of the program and would like to be involved in these efforts, please get in touch with the MFA office via Program Manager Julie Cadman-Kim (kimjulie@umich.edu).

Alumni Facebook Group

Launched in August 2016, the HZWP Alumni Facebook Group is a closed group moderated by our alum coordinators. The group, linked below, is intended to serve as a means for our graduates to connect (and reconnect) with one another both for networking purposes and for general support. Members are encouraged to share current projects and bylines, as well as any thoughts and resources related to writing, publishing, jobs and other opportunities—not to mention the myriad highs, lows, and in-betweens of the overall post-MFA experience.
