Paton’s Pairs
In 2015, we started “Paton Pairs” by sending a valentine to all Paton Center and Master of Accounting alumni who met their spouse while studying accounting at the University of Michigan. It was so much fun, we decided to make it an annual mailing. We are still compiling our valentine list and would love to know if you are part of a Paton Pair. Please let us know, and we will add you to our mailing list.
