The Michigan Review is the unofficial student affairs journal of the University of Michigan. Since its inception in 1982, the paper has served as a voice of conservative and libertarian students at an otherwise liberal university. The Review, published biweekly, is funded by grants from the Collegiate Network, and by advertising revenue.

National media routinely turn to Michigan Review staffers for conservative takes on university issues. Review editors have been quoted in numerous newspaper articles, and have discussed affirmative action on CBS's 60 Minutes, the BBC World Service, and on various local television and radio programs.

Review alumni have achieved some measure of success in the national arena, working for such media outlets as The National Review, The Weekly Standard, and Investor's Business Daily, and writing speeches for President George W. Bush. A large percentage of Review alumni become lawyers.
