Lake Superior State University fans, alumni, and friends can display their Laker pride with the LSSU affinity license plate. The Michigan Secretary of State’s Office offers specialty fund-raising license plates, including state-supported universities. $25 from the sale of each new license plate goes to the LSSU Alumni Association and we receive $10 for each renewal. Proceeds fund the LSSU Paul Ripley Alumni Legacy Award and various alumni programs and services. Laker Fans living outside of Michigan can get a Laker affinity collector plate to show their Laker Pride! Email [email protected] to order an affinity plate.
In addition to being an easy way to help your alma mater earn extra funds, these license plates are a great way to show your pride for your school and to meet other students and alumni. LSSU Alumni Association President, Brittany Barrett,’14 and ’17, commented, “I have had a Laker license plate on my vehicle for several years now and have had numerous times when people have commented on my plate, asking me about Lake State, reminiscing about their times at the university and enjoying the mutual bond between alumni.” Brittany added, “while traveling, my husband and I always enjoy watching for others who have the Laker logo on their plate. Trips to the east coast, Canada, Wisconsin and southern Michigan have all led us to find other Lakers with whom we could strike a conversation. I encourage anyone looking to get a new license plate to inquire about the Lake Superior State University addition to their plate. It’s an easy way to show support for your school while encouraging networking and camaraderie amongst fellow alumni.”
Laker plates are available at any time – there is no need to wait until your plate renewal date.
