History
Est. 1992
The University of Michigan Figure Skating Club was established in 1992 for the purpose of providing skaters at the University of Michigan with the opportunity to continue engaging in the sport they love throughout their college years. UMFSC has since grown into a competitively strong and incredibly close-knit community of U-M collegiate figure skaters.
Our mission is to create meaningful relationships among teammates, support a team of athletically and academically thriving skaters, and give members the chance to make joyful, lasting memories of their time on the U-M figure skating team.
Currently, we identify as a:
University of Michigan sponsored student organization (SSO)
U.S. Figure Skating collegiate team
Competitions we attend:
all Midwestern USFS intercollegiate competitions (three per year)
the USFS National Intercollegiate Final (once per year, if we qualify)
U.S. Collegiate Championships (open for all UMFSC skaters to participate in each summer)
