About The Block

What Is The Block?

A Black Alumni Collective

Rooted in the Block M.
Built for the block.

The Block is a Black alumni collective from the University of Michigan created to celebrate, connect, and empower our alumni community.

Rooted in the tradition of the Block M and the cultural significance of "the block," we serve as both a hub for lifelong connections and a platform for cultural pride.
