The Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies is a community of Ph.D, master's, and certificate program students at the University of Michigan. Funded in 1935 by an endowment from Mary Rackham, widow of one of the original stockholders in the Ford Motor Company, the Rackham Graduate School is housed in the Rackham Education Memorial Building.
The building was designed by William Kapp of the firm Smith, Hinchman & Grylls with architectural sculpture by Corrado Parducci.
