Matt A. Schlientz
My life, my focus, and my passion centers on this concept: that we can impact culture, that we can impact the world in positive ways through the development of creative ideas and creative solutions. As Director of Marketing at the University of Michigan, I get to live out my life’s passion everyday. I am blessed to work with a team of talented, smart, and creative marketing and communications professionals who are focused on one thing – advancing the reputation of an incredible institution – the University of Michigan. Go Blue!
My journeys have taken me around the country & around the globe, from Alaska to Australia & many points in between. All told, my professional & personal travels have taken me to more than 40 countries & territories, 6 continents—and to all 50 states in our own country. For me, both the benefits of travel & the benefits of education & the parallels that I draw from them are key to broadening the mind, to embracing new ideas & cultures, to growing intellectually & spiritually, & to staying young.
