Campus is buzzing with energy as students come back for the start of the fall semester. Move-In was a huge success with the highly anticipated opening of East Hall. Wadsworth Dining Hall also has a fresh look. Staff from Student Support and Mentorship recently moved into the newly renovated Alumni House, and several updated classroom spaces will come online in the next few weeks.
This year’s entering class is one of the largest in the last 40 years and the first to participate in Tech’s new Essential Education program, an innovative core education curriculum. The program builds a 21st century skill set crucial for our students to become leaders who can respond to the increasingly frequent technological changes impacting our economy and society.
In planning campus initiatives for the coming year, we will continue to focus on the shaping of Tech Forward 2.0. And, as part of our continued efforts to align institutional priorities with transformative community impact, Wayne Gersie will lead Michigan Tech’s application for the Carnegie Elective Classification for Community Engagement.
Michigan Tech is in a position of strength because of the past and present work of our faculty, students, staff, alumni and friends. I have the utmost confidence in our future, knowing that we are supported by the strong network of MTU’s alumni and friends. Thank you for helping to make Michigan Tech such a special place.
Sincerely,
Rick Koubek
President
