MREACH
MREACH brings high school students to the Ross School of Business for a series of hands-on
learning experiences, focusing on SAT preparation in addition to foundational business
concepts and supporting a college-going culture. The program offers insight into the college
application and financial aid processes and provides academic and career preparation. Sessions
are held one or two Saturdays per month from fall through spring at Ross.
IN THEIR OWN WORDS
“I heard about MREACH through the University of Michigan’s Youth Hub. It sounded like an awesome opportunity to get to know
students from all around U-M while expressing my interest in the university. Before I joined MREACH, I had a somewhat negative
view of the business world. At MREACH, I was shown what business could be. I saw a group of people who were using business to
inspire and enact change in an ever-changing world filled with problems, which is ultimately what inspired me to take a deeper dive
into business and apply to Ross. MREACH helped me build a foundation of knowledge to bring to Ross. Due to this preparation, I feel
prepared for the rigorous education at Ross and the challenging years I have ahead. I strongly believe that MREACH can give high
school students a great taste of what a business education will look like without any of the risks. You’ll make connections that you
will carry with you into the future, and the Academic Success Center staff and student staff is wonderful and wants to see you
succeed. —Erik Nielsen, BBA '27
