Rich Rodriguez speaks at U-M alumni event in DC

This past Tuesday evening, May 12, the DC Chapter of the U-M Alumni Association hosted a reception with Michigan coaches Rich Rodriguez (football), John Beilein (men’s basketball), and Red Berensen (hockey) and Athletic Director Bill Martin. The event was held on the roof of Holland & Knight LLP at 2099 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. The purpose was to raise money for scholarships.

The event was very well attended. I didn’t bring my camera, but someone recorded Coach Rodriguez’s short talk and posted it on YouTube.
