Attend an author talk and book signing with Mark Snyder in association with the University of Michigan Alumni Association.
Mark Snyder lived through the 1997 national championship season as a University of Michigan student, riding the wave like all Wolverines who expected nothing and received everything. Starting from the inside at The Michigan Daily student newspaper during his college years, he turned the experience into a career, covering high school, college and professional sports for nearly 20 years at the Oakland (Mich.) Press and the Detroit Free Press, primarily focused on the Wolverines. He was voted Michigan’s sportswriter of the year by his peers in 2011. He lives in suburban Detroit with his wife and two children.
