Are You New to St. Louis?       
    
We'd like to welcome you as an alumni.  So if you are actively planning a move or looking for a Michigan connection while they're on the road, the St. Louis Club can help! We can give fellow Wolverines the goods on life in the St. Louis area. Potential residents might want to know what neighborhoods are like, what's new and fun, or just where to find a good restaurant. We're here to help send a note to us at umstl@att.net.
