The Wahtera Center has opened the application process for OES. Are you looking for something to do this summer? Do you want to stay in the Houghton area to enjoy all the beauty that Keweenaw County has to offer during the summer months? Have you wanted experience planning and executing a large program like Orientation? Are you thinking that you really should be doing an internship this summer but don’t know what to do or where to go for an internship? You can use the experiences that you will have planning OTL Training Week and O-Week. It is a great opportunity to have one of the largest student-planned and student-run programs on campus under your belt. We are looking for students who are hardworking, creative, self-motivated, and who are excited to bring the New Huskies to campus!

Career Services is hosting an on-campus jobs expo Jan. 16 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Alumni Lounge in the MUB. Students are encouraged to come check out the job opportunities available right here on campus. Many departments will be represented.

On-campus jobs provide opportunities for Michigan Tech students. A part-time job offers income to students who need it and is an important co-curricular opportunity. As a co-curricular opportunity, on-campus work can lead to internships and co-ops, opening the door to full-time offers immediately after graduation. It can also help a student establish a strong foundation for research that leads to enhanced graduate school opportunities.

It is that time of year again. We are hiring OES (Orientation Executive Staff), OTLs (Orientation Team Leaders), Success Coaches, ExSEL Peer Mentors, and Success Class Peer Assistance.

Please share with anyone that you know would be great in any of these roles. We are looking for students who are motivated, passionate, and are our Husky leaders. We are using Handshake this year for all of our positions. Job Descriptions will be posted by the end of the week on https://www.mtu.edu/success/now-hiring/

If you have questions please feel free to reach out to success@mtu.edu or dmcorwin@mtu.edu.
