The Huetwell Visitors Center, named in honor of Frederick G. L. Huetwell, was built in 1996 as an addition to the Student Activities Building. After graduating from the university in 1938, Mr. Huetwell became heavily involved with the University of Michigan Club of Greater Detroit. He also made significant financial contributions in support of medical research and scholarships. Besides being home to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, the Huetwell Visitors Center serves as the welcoming point for prospective students and their families, as well as other guests of the University. Each year, over 30,000 people participate in our visitation programs and tours.

The University of Michigan welcomes all those who enter its doors and strives to enrich their U-M experience by providing excellent service with a focus on continuous improvement. Our intent is to create feelings of goodwill and to leave a positive impression with everyone who enters. The Huetwell Visitors Center’s staff convey the Michigan spirit and the values we strive to embrace – enthusiasm, a commitment to excellence and diversity, and a sense of community, within both the University and Ann Arbor.
