The Fall 2026 session of Catalyst™ will be held on Saturday, September 26th from 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM in the Memorial Union Building. All participants will receive free workshop materials, lunch, and a gift. Please RSVP by the end of the day on Saturday, September 20th, so we can ensure we have adequate food and supplies for all participants.

What is Catalyst?
Catalyst™ is a great entry into the LeaderShape® community. It is a one-day program focused on developing your own authentic path, connecting to groups and causes you care about, and committing to a plan to be a catalyst for yourself and the groups you’re part of.

Throughout the program, you’ll consider powerful questions that move you towards action:
Am I on the right path? Who do I want to be? How can I connect with other like-minded individuals? In small-group dialogue, large-group interaction, and personal reflection, you’ll learn alongside others who also want to start something extraordinary.

Stop by any of our voter registration tables across campus on September 15th to learn more about voting as a college student!

The Michigan Secretary of State will also be available to directly register voters inside the library from 10 AM- 3 PM.

This event is hosted by the Voter Engagement Coalition. All efforts are non-partisan.

Shooting Range programs are back at the SDC! Check out our upcoming Concealed Pistol Licensing Courses to get started!

Concealed Pistol Licensing Course

This is the course you need to take to get your Michigan Concealed Pistol License. This is the Premier course in the state of Michigan. The Michigan Coalition of Responsible Gun Owners course covers what you need to know for carrying in open spaces, not just what to do in your home, but what to do in the parking lot, in the alley, etc. But we also add in things we teach our other courses that we feel you are going to need to know. Doing our best to help prepare you to prevail in any encounter.

Canoe The Sturgeon

Relax and canoe with the OAP on a stretch of the Sturgeon River in Chassell, about 10 miles from campus. OAP will take care of transportation from the OAP to the river and back, canoes, paddles, PFD’s, and trailers, and provide 2 trip leaders to assist along the paddle. This option takes roughly 3 hours from when we leave until we return. Paddling is easy, on slow-moving waters with no rapids.

Let us be your guides to the serene beauty of Hungarian Falls, the majestic Douglas Houghton Falls (Michigan’s tallest!), picturesque Jacob’s Falls, and Haven Falls. Leave the planning to us and indulge in a stress-free adventure as we uncover the hidden gems of the Upper Peninsula. Book your spot now and prepare for a day filled with awe and wonder!
