Letters is a regional professional organization that facilitates scholarly exchange through annual meetings and a quarterly journal of outstanding papers and news about research at Michigan colleges and universities. Over half of the Academy's current members are faculty and graduate students of supporting Michigan colleges and universities. Others include independent scholars, scholars from other states, and people engaged in relevant research in business and government.
Membership is open to all.
The May issue of the Academy's quarterly journal contains the abstracts of all papers presented at that year's meetings.
