Fall Colors and Local Events
As September arrives, so do the breathtaking fall colors of the Upper Peninsula! While the foliage is truly a sight to behold right here on campus, a short trip can take you to some of the best viewing spots.
If you’re looking for a unique way to enjoy the scenery later in the season, consider a chairlift ride at a local ski resort. It’s a great way to get a bird’s-eye view of the stunning landscape, and no prior skiing experience is needed. We recommend checking out Mt. Ripley in Hancock or Mt. Bohemia in Lac La Belle.
For more ideas on how to spend your free time this fall, be sure to check out the Local Area Events Calendar and MTU Events Calendar. There’s something for everyone!
Beyond the Classroom
The Graduate Student Government (GSG) is your key to connecting with the grad student community. They organize tons of activities, from professional development workshops and the Graduate Research Colloquium to social events and mixers. Getting involved with the GSG is a fantastic way to meet people from different departments, share your ideas, and help shape a fun and supportive campus environment. To find out about upcoming events or to learn how you can participate, check out their website.
