What an incredible celebration! 🎉

Congratulations to the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential and the entire Michigan Reconnect team on another inspiring Virtual Commencement honoring the Class of 2026.

Nearly 20,000 Michiganders have graduated through Michigan Reconnect, proving that it's never too late to pursue new goals, earn a credential and create new opportunities.

We're proud to have partnered with the MiLEAP team in helping make this special event happen. Seeing graduates, families, educators and partners come together to celebrate these achievements is a powerful reminder of why this work matters.

Congratulations to every graduate — we can't wait to see what's next! 💙🎓

Last Friday, Governor Gretchen Whitmer and MiLEAP celebrated this year’s Reconnect graduates during our third annual virtual commencement, marking five years of helping adult learners return to college, earn credentials and build new opportunities.

Nearly 20,000 Michiganders have graduated through Reconnect. Their stories highlight parents, first‑generation students, veterans, career changers and adults who returned to school after years away.

Graduate Maurice Lucas described how Reconnect helped him find purpose and a new path forward, offering a powerful reminder that accessible education changes lives.

Reconnect Navigators have supported more than 250,000 Michiganders with free, one‑on‑one guidance throughout their education journey.

To our partners and colleges: thank you for supporting Michigan learners.
To the Class of 2026: you did it — we’re incredibly proud of you, and your future is shining bright!
