“Congratulations to all of the members of the M-Pulse team on an outstanding race and a thrilling first-place finish. I am delighted to join the University community in commending the M-Pulse team leaders and members for their ingenuity and will to win that helped them overcome what at times must have seemed like insurmountable obstacles. All of us in Ann Arbor are extremely proud of the U-M’s solar car team and look forward to cheering on our students at the World Solar Challenge in November.”
