Our history

The Letterwinners M Club, or “M Club” for short, is the official member-driven Club for Michigan Letterwinners. We are an organization run by letterwinners, for letterwinners. Since first awarded in 1866, a Varsity "M" earned at the University of Michigan has been recognized as one of the most prestigious honors in Collegiate Athletics.

Since the M Club was formed in 1913 it has been run by an all-volunteer board of former varsity student-athletes who donate both time and talent. The first president, Homer Heath, 1906 Big Ten Champion in the Long Jump, was appointed in 1913. There have been dozens of Presidents across sports that have served the M Club since its inception.

DEEP ROOTS

Since the mid-70s, when Michigan established varsity women's teams, The M Club has been under the leadership of 5 female presidents across a myriad of sports. The first female president was Marissa Pollick, one of the first female letterwinners in Tennis in 1977.

In 2008, the Early Women Athletes that played before their sport was recognized as a varsity sport received an Honorary M from the Club and gained access to membership.

Meet the Leadership Team

The Letterwinners M Club strives to perpetuate the Michigan tradition by promoting the excellence and leadership of the University of Michigan athletic program, and by fostering enduring relationships among all those who have earned a varsity letter at Michigan.  Since the Letterwinners M Club was formed in 1913 it has been run by an all-volunteer board of former varsity student-athletes who donate both time and talent.
