Michigamua is a student leadership society at the University of Michigan. The organization was created in 1902 by a group of seniors in coordination with University president James B. Angell.
The organization first admitted women in 1999. In 1989 the organization signed an agreement with representatives from the Native American Student Association agreeing to abandon all Native American cultural references. In 2000, a group of students calling themselves the Student of Color Coalition occupied the organization's offices which resulted in a mutual decision to vacate their office space in the "tower" of the student union, the Michigan Union.
Other similar societies currently in existence at the University of Michigan include the all-women Phoenix and the engineering society Vulcan.
Members have included United States President Gerald Ford, and football coach and Athletic Director of the University Fielding Yost.
