Mike Lewis

Mike Lewis is a veteran police beat reporter from the Motor City (Detroit), but his current challenge is to revive the journalism program at the University of Michigan. The Wolverines have not had a functioning journalism program for several years,but Mike is looking to create a multimedia major that prepares students to succeed in the evolving journalism profession.
Mike undertook this position because at this point in his working life he considers time to be a more valuable commodity than $$. He is married, has four children and a dog named Kitta,and his wife is a second year medical student at Michigan State University. One of Mike's favorite journalism memories is the year he spent in the old Soviet Union reporting for the Associated Press. His favorite spare time activity these days is fishing, and he's looking forward to reeling in some big trout in Alaska in the near future.
