The Office of Budget and Planning has published a reimagined, interactive digital version of its popular Michigan Almanac data resource.
Originally created in 2013, the annual Michigan Almanac is a consolidated source of data and narrative to give readers an overview of the University of Michigan as well as illustrating how different institutional functions and metrics interconnect. The Almanac includes statistics and explanatory information about student enrollment, affordability, student success, faculty and staff, and budget, among other topics.

“The Almanac is one of the most comprehensive, accessible repositories of institutional information produced by the university,” said Laurie McCauley, provost and vice president for academic affairs. “It’s extremely useful for so many on campus and beyond. It also comports with our mission as a public university – disseminating knowledge in a useful, transparent way that is easy to understand.
