AUDREY L. LATTIE Class of 1958 | History
Born and raised in Flint, Audrey attended Flint Junior College for two years when she learned that the University of Michigan was going to establish what was then known as a “Senior College” in Flint. When enrollment opened, Audrey was ready to transfer. There was no catalog and no course schedule. As shared by Audrey, “The faculty was very welcoming, and willing to give of their time. We got personalized attention at UM-Flint. I had perfect confidence in this new university. I knew it had to be up to the quality of UM. Students embraced the idea that this is new, this is different, we’re going to try, and it’s going to work. And look where we are now.”
