Stories about the Career Journeys of Michigan Tech students.

2026 Signing Day

We took advantage of a sunny spring day in Houghton to celebrate our students with a “Signing Day” photo session at the Husky statue. This event serves as a visual testament to the hard work and dedication our students put into their professional development. Whether embarking on a summer internship, a semester-long co-op, or a full-time career after graduation, these Huskies are ready to make a significant impact in their respective fields.

It is an exciting time on campus as we watch these students launch into their next chapters. These photos represent more than just a job placement; they represent the culmination of a rigorous Michigan Tech education and the bright futures that lie ahead. We are incredibly proud to see our students joining industry leaders and innovators across the country.

New for 2025: Summer Internship Survey

We are asking all students who had a summer internship to let us know more about it. This email was sent to all currently enrolled Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors today.


We hope you had a rewarding and valuable experience during your summer internship! To help us better understand your internship journey and continue improving opportunities for future students, we invite you to complete our Summer Internship Survey. Your feedback is incredibly important and will guide us in strengthening employer partnerships, enhancing student support, and making internships even more meaningful.  (Help for completing the survey is available on Handshake)

As a thank you for sharing your thoughts, you’ll be entered into a drawing to win exciting prizes! Taking a few minutes to complete the survey not only gives you a chance to win, but also ensures your voice is heard and makes a direct impact on the experiences of your fellow Huskies in the years ahead.

The survey should only take about 5 minutes of your time, and every response counts.

We’ll ask students to complet this survey during the first few weeks of this semester and expect to share aggregated results after the Career Fair.

Signing Day – Spring 2025

Graduation is coming fast! What is the ultimate result of all that hard work? Starting a job with a new company, applying those skills in a new occupation, and earning money!

We copied the idea of a high school recruit signing for a new college or a professional athlete getting drafted.  Here are some group photos from the Spring 2025 Design Expo held on campus to highlight Senior Design and Enterprise Projects.
