Team of Amanda Cadwell (CEE), Christina Sarazin, Catherine Burns and Lori Weir
This team was nominated for their effort in making last year’s UAW classes a reality. Through collaboration, hard work and determination they created a cutting-edge program to advance the skills of UAW workers that will be a benchmark for other universities. According to President Glenn Mroz, it has already generated interest with UAW at the state level.

The Department is sad to inform that Michigan Tech civil engineering student, Nathan Cody Hayden, 21 of Kalkaska, died unexpectedly on December 4th, 2014. Born and raised in Kalkaska, he is the son of Malinda Hayden and the late Cody Hayden and Krista Bachelor.
Nathan graduated from Kalkaska High School in 2011. He was an honor student, participating in football and wrestling. Nathan was famous for his role as Kalkaska Man.
