Dear Students,
As we’re sure you’re aware, Houghton County experienced extreme weather this weekend. Although much of campus and the surrounding area is back to normal, the Administration Building is closed for an undetermined amount of time. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of our community members impacted by this disaster.
For the short term, here is how you can communicate with the Graduate School:
Michigan Tech will be updating the emergency website with information important to our community. Please monitor that website for ways that you can contribute to the relief effort and stay in touch with other offices on campus that are displaced.
Sincerely,
The Graduate School
