The Student Scoop

The American Red Cross is currently experiencing a severe blood shortage due to winter weather and illness across the country. Hospital needs remain high while available donations have decreased.

The blood drive will take place on Tuesday, February 10, and Wednesday, February 11, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the MUB Ballroom. Blood collected during this drive has already been allocated to help patients in need, with a goal of 168 units each day.

Donating blood is a simple way to make a real impact. Every donation helps save lives. Over the past month, the national blood supply has dropped by 35%, and more than 500 blood drives have been canceled due to winter storms. The shortage is especially critical for blood types O-, O+, A-, and B-. Donors with these blood types are encouraged to donate red cells through a Power Red donation.

The American Red Cross strongly encourages donors to schedule an appointment in advance to ensure a smooth experience.

All donors will receive a $20 e-gift card to a merchant of their choice. Donors who sign up in advance may also receive a limited-edition Red Cross x Metallica T-shirt and guitar pick and be entered to win an autographed ESP Snakebyte guitar.

Limited space remains on the Alternative Spring Break Maryland trip! If you want to be part of this life-changing journey, apply here.

In collaboration with Habitat for Humanity Susquehanna, this Alternative Spring Break trip will travel to Bel Air, Maryland, to help provide affordable housing opportunities. As part of the Collegiate Challenge program, participants will contribute by assisting in home construction projects and volunteering at a Habitat for Humanity ReStore, directly supporting families in need of safe and stable housing.

This trip will depart early on Friday, February 27, in two Michigan Tech minivans. Participants will stay in an Airbnb near the volunteer site. Most meals will be prepared and provided by the group itself. Immersion experiences, educational opportunities, and group reflection will be incorporated throughout the week. The group will depart from Maryland on Saturday, March 7th, and return to campus the following day.

When asked, “If someone were considering attending an Alternative Spring Break trip, what would you tell them?” one 2023 participant shared,

“Do it. You will not only impact another community, but will reignite your passion for serving those within your own. Alternative Spring Break trips are the perfect way to step just outside of your comfort zone with fellow students and discover what drives you. You will get to meet not only incredible community leaders, but grow connections with peers that may be outside your normal circle. It’s a great opportunity to see what issues others are facing and recognize what you can do to really change the world while building community with your own university.”

The total cost for the trip is $500 per student, which includes all food, travel, accommodations, and program materials.

The Cultural Events Fund at Michigan Technological University was established in 2018 to support student-led cultural events and programs that promote learning and cultural appreciation on campus. The fund is administered by a collaborative committee and allocates funding using a rubric to ensure fairness and impact.

The purpose of the fund is to increase campus awareness of diverse cultures through events such as cultural nights, guest speakers, art displays, workshops, and celebrations. Past funded events include African Night, Chinese Night, Pow Wows, Diwali Night, and Chinese New Year celebrations.

Student organizations seeking funding must apply at least four weeks prior to their event, meet rubric requirements, and submit a post-event summary following their program. Organizations are also required not to solicit current donors.

Those interested in supporting the fund can give through the Michigan Tech Giving Page by designating their gift to The Cultural Events Fund.

This scholarship honors Michigan Tech student Kenneth (Kenny) Bragg ‘24. Kenny, his parents (Hope ’95 and Don ’92, both Tech forestry alumni), and his younger sister Elizabeth died together in a tragic house explosion in the suburbs of Detroit in 2023.

Kenny was a senior anthropology major in the Department of Social Sciences, had completed three summer archaeological field seasons, including one at Michigan Tech, and did significant volunteer work with the Arkansas Archaeological Survey. His research – Multiphase Salt Making at Nakuukuwidish/Holman Springs, a Caddo and Settler Salt-making Site in Sevier County, Arkansas – has been published posthumously with co-author Dr. Carl Drexler in the journal Southeastern Archaeology

Because of Kenny’s deep love of archaeology, this scholarship in his honor will provide $2,000 to help cover the cost for an MTU student to attend the Michigan Tech summer archaeological field school. Preference will be given to Anthropology, Social Science, Sustainability Science and Society, or Policy and Community Development majors.

Applications will be reviewed by the Industrial Heritage and Archaeology Program committee and awards will be announced at the Department of Social Sciences end of year awards ceremony. For priority consideration, please submit your application by March 15.

For more information about the field school see this webpage or contact Dr. Trepal at djtrepal@mtu.edu. For questions about the scholarship application, contact Dr. Wurst at lawurst@mtu.edu.

After you swab, NMDP will reach out at any point to let you know if you’re a match! Please reach out to smls@mtu.edu for more information. An NMDP representative will be at our table to answer any specific questions you may have!

Join us this month for David Auburn’s Proof, directed by Nich Radcliffe and featuring a talented cast of Michigan Tech faculty and students:

Catherine: played by Katherine Rauscher

Robert: played by Charles Wallace

Claire: played by Paige Harsevoort

Hal: played by Brock Maloney

The story follows Catherine, who has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, Robert, a famous mathematician. Following his death, she must navigate the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire, and the intentions of Hal, a former student searching through her father’s 103 notebooks.

“I’d call it a drama with jokes, which is actually my favorite kind of play…and there is a bit of a mystery as well,” says director Nich Radcliffe.

Despite the mathematical title, Katherine Rauscher (playing Catherine) notes: “Proof can come across as a very serious play. It definitely deals with a lot of very serious topics, but there’s some humor to it as well. But what it is not, is a play about math.”

Reserve your FREE Michigan Tech Student Rush Tickets

This scholarship honors Michigan Tech student Kenneth (Kenny) Bragg ‘24. Kenny, his parents (Hope ’95 and Don ’92, both Tech forestry alumni), and his younger sister Elizabeth died together in a tragic house explosion in the suburbs of Detroit in 2023.

Kenny was a senior anthropology major in the Department of Social Sciences, had completed three summer archaeological field seasons, including one at Michigan Tech, and did significant volunteer work with the Arkansas Archaeological Survey. His research – Multiphase Salt Making at Nakuukuwidish/Holman Springs, a Caddo and Settler Salt-making Site in Sevier County, Arkansas – has been published posthumously with co-author Dr. Carl Drexler in the journal Southeastern Archaeology

Because of Kenny’s deep love of archaeology, this scholarship in his honor will provide $2,000 to help cover the cost for an MTU student to attend the Michigan Tech summer archaeological field school. Preference will be given to Anthropology, Social Science, Sustainability Science and Society, or Policy and Community Development majors.

Applications will be reviewed by the Industrial Heritage and Archaeology Program committee, and awards will be announced at the Department of Social Sciences end of year awards ceremony. For priority consideration, please submit your application by March 15.

For more information about the field school, see this webpage or contact Dr. Trepal at djtrepal@mtu.edu. For questions about the scholarship application, contact Dr. Wurst at lawurst@mtu.edu.

“Do it. You will not only impact another community, but will reignite your passion for serving those within your own. Alternative Spring Break trips are the perfect way to step just outside of your comfort zone with fellow students and discover what drives you. You will get to meet not only incredible community leaders, but grow connections with peers that may be outside your normal circle. It’s a great opportunity to see what issues others are facing and recognize what you can do to really change the world while building community with your own university.”

The total cost for the trip is $500 per student, which includes all food, travel, accommodations, and program materials.

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.

The Michigan Tech community is ready to transform this “day off” into a powerful Day On—a genuine commitment to service, reflection, and meaningful action. Martin Luther King Jr’s enduring legacy calls us to a higher standard of citizenship and humanity, and these scheduled events provide a powerful path for every student to answer that call and contribute to his vision of “Unity through Service”

We kick off Martin Luther King Jr Day with a Day of Service where Michigan tech students and community members can give back to the Copper Country Humane Society, Letters Agianst Isolation, the Bluffs Senior Living Facility, and the Community Alliance for Progressive Education at 10:00 am, where your hands-on effort can make a tangible difference in the local community. By volunteering, you are actively participating in the work of social uplift that Dr. King championed. Give your time, apply your talents, and live the spirit of service.

Michigan Tech students will also read to local schoolchildren, spreading Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s history and legacy to young minds in our community.

Our Interfaith Service starts at 4:15 pm in the Van Pelt and Opie Library, East Reading Room, offering a space for quiet introspection that draws on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s spiritual foundation and his call for unity across all faiths.

The campus and community are invited to participate in a Peace March, beginning with a gathering at the Husky Statue at 5:00 PM. The procession will travel to the Alumni House and return. Walking together, we will publicly reaffirm Michigan Tech’s dedication to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s enduring principles of justice and nonviolence, making a powerful, visible statement about our commitment to an equitable future.

The day concludes with a shared meal and a panel discussion featuring alumni Jemel Thompson, Jailynn Johnson, and Austin McFarlane, offering a chance to connect, reflect, and hear their stories of resilience.

Dinner will begin at 5:30 pm in the MUB Ballroom. Gather with fellow students, faculty, and staff to share stories from your service, discuss the meaning of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy, and strengthen the bonds of the Michigan Tech community.

This Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Day, don’t just take the day off. Show up. Serve. Reflect. Act. Honor Dr. King’s legacy by engaging with the events and making a meaningful difference right here in Houghton.

Hey robot enthusiasts and FIRST Alumni, 

Copper Country Robotics at Michigan Tech is hosting the second year of Robot in 3 Days at Michigan Tech, where the most dedicated FIRST Robotics students will ideate, design, build, program, and market a robot from scratch in just 72 hours! Starting on January 10th, 2025 at 12:00PM, we will work as a group to pioneer these engineering challenges. This year’s FIRST Robotics Competition game: REBUILT, presents great challenges to high school teams across the world, and colleges throughout the midwest and beyond are ramping up to show our skills and expertise as a core pillar of robot ideation and design. We’re looking for students to join our crew and help us become an example across the entire Upper Peninsula for what a sound and beautiful robot looks like.

Students participating in the challenge don’t have to be engineers (or even good at building). We need all sorts of skills ranging from programming, marketing, electronics, streaming, and presenting to make this run. Half of the battle is streaming this across the nation on our social media platforms and highlighting the expertise and design that makes Michigan Tech special!

If you want to get involved, RSVP before December 1st on our Involvement Link. In addition, check out our 2025 Robot in 3 Days robot, Blizzard T. Robot

The highly anticipated production of Men on Boats by Jacklyn Backhaus sets sail Tuesday through Friday, November 18-21, in the McArdle Theatre.

Heads up, Huskies! Opening night has already SOLD OUT, so if you want to catch this adventurous, hilarious, and thought-provoking show, you’ll need to secure your spot ASAP. Be sure to request your free Michigan Tech Student Rush Tickets early.

Synopsis:

Men on Boats tells the ‘mostly’ true, satirical story of John Wesley Powell’s 1869 expedition. Powell, a one-armed Civil War veteran, led a crew of ten men down the treacherous Colorado River through the uncharted Grand Canyon. It’s a journey filled with perilous rapids, rugged terrain, and plenty of interpersonal drama.

Director Nich Radcliffe explains, “I hope the audience leaves the theatre laughing. And I hope that laughter makes it easier to be honest with themselves, about the world, and about the place and the voice everyone deserves in it.”

Paige Harsevoort, who plays the expedition’s leader John Wesley Powell, agrees. “It’s a really funny show, there’ll be no shortage of laughter, I can promise you that,” she says. “But it’s also kinda hitting on some important topics that I think sometimes people don’t like to talk about. So I think it’s an interesting story and it’s kind of eye opening.”

Biomedical engineers often work with electronics to create tools that sense, measure, and interact with the human body. This workshop introduces students to the fundamentals of circuit design through a real-world example: a custom controller for lab instrumentation.

In this two-part series, participants will:
– Session 1 (Nov 14): Learn how to design a schematic from scratch, using best practices and validation techniques to ensure accuracy.
– Session 2 (Nov 17): Get hands-on with PCB layout tools to turn your schematic into a physical design. While we won’t fabricate the boards this semester, you’ll leave with a complete layout ready for future prototyping.

What is a PCB?
A Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is the physical platform that connects and supports electronic components. It’s essential in biomedical devices—from pacemakers to lab sensors—and knowing how to design one empowers engineers to prototype, troubleshoot, and innovate.

Who should attend?
This free workshop is open to all students interested in biomedical instrumentation, electronics, or hands-on design. No prior experience is required—just bring your curiosity and a laptop if you have one!

Hey robot enthusiasts and FIRST Alumni, 

Copper Country Robotics at Michigan Tech is hosting the second year of Robot in 3 Days at Michigan Tech, where the most dedicated FIRST Robotics students will ideate, design, build, program, and market a robot from scratch in just 72 hours! Starting on January 10th, 2025 at 12:00PM, we will work as a group to pioneer these engineering challenges. This year’s FIRST Robotics Competition game: REBUILT, presents great challenges to high school teams across the world, and colleges throughout the midwest and beyond are ramping up to show our skills and expertise as a core pillar of robot ideation and design. We’re looking for students to join our crew and help us become an example across the entire Upper Peninsula for what a sound and beautiful robot looks like.

Students participating in the challenge don’t have to be engineers (or even good at building). We need all sorts of skills ranging from programming, marketing, electronics, streaming, and presenting to make this run. Half of the battle is streaming this across the nation on our social media platforms and highlighting the expertise and design that makes Michigan Tech special!

If you want to get involved, RSVP before December 1st on our Involvement Link. In addition, check out our 2025 Robot in 3 Days robot, Blizzard T. Robot
