“As a former collegiate and professional athlete, I have lived the transition into the real world first hand,” said Drew Henson, former MLB third basemen, NFL quarterback, and University of Michigan student-athlete. “The skills I honed on the field very easily could be leveraged in the boardroom, but there was no clear path to building the proverbial ladder or climbing it. REV HIPE is enabling athletes with access—to capital, advice and a network—an indispensable resource in the business world.”
At Michigan, we don’t just build athletes; we build leaders. The REV HIPE Program is a testament to our commitment to transforming athletic excellence into business success.” – Dr. Marcus Collins, University of Michigan Ross Marketing Professor, Best-Selling Author.

This is what we proudly refer to as the Michigan Difference.
