Open House for Centers, Institutes and Shared Facilities


by Office of the Vice President for Research

On behalf of the Associate Vice President for Research Development (AVPRD) Office, we invite scholars, creators and researchers to attend the upcoming Open House for Centers, Institutes and Shared Facilities on Sept. 10 from 1-5 p.m. in MUB Ballroom A.

The open house will immediately follow the President’s Welcome Back Picnic at the Rozsa Center. People are welcome to bring their lunches over from the picnic and finish them in the ballroom.

The event will feature two-minute “Tech Talks” from center, institute and shared facility directors, providing attendees with an opportunity to learn about the mission and research interests of Michigan Tech’s variety of research areas and facilities.

After the introductions, guests will have the opportunity to tour the centers, institutes or shared facilities that interest them; meet with other members and users; and learn more about how these organizations can support their work.

The afternoon will conclude with an informal reception at Rovano Plaza (the outdoor area next to the Library) from 4-5 p.m. where researchers and directors can continue conversations.

For more information or a calendar invitation, please contact Brent Burns at bburns@mtu.edu.

Thank you for considering attending this important event, which is intended to help you network with others on campus and assist you with gaining access to the resources and assistance that Michigan Tech’s centers, institutes and shared facilities provide.
