We’re pleased to share that a new interdisciplinary course, SS/FW 2801 – Introduction to Global Climate Change, will be offered this coming spring semester. Designed primarily for first- and second-year students, this course is solutions-focused and provides a broad overview of the scientific, social, and policy dimensions of climate change.

Explore the practical and research-based solutions to the challenges posed by global climate change. Through a multidisciplinary lens, students will examine strategies from science, policy, technology, and society that address both the causes and consequences of climate change. Open to students from all academic backgrounds, this course provides a foundation for further study and informed engagement with one of the most important issues shaping our shared future.

This course fulfills the Essential Education First Year Experience: Foundations in the Human World requirement, counts toward the Sustainability Studies Minor Pathway, and was developed collaboratively by faculty across multiple disciplines.

Michigan Tech Theatre is thrilled to announce the cast for Men on Boats, a play by Jacklyn Backhaus, directed by Nich Radcliffe.

Men On Boats tells the ‘mostly’ true story of ten explorers who set off in 1869 to chart the Green and Colorado Rivers under the guidance of John Wesley Powell, a one-armed Civil War Veteran.

This satirical retelling of historical events is made even more interesting by the author’s insistence that all characters are to be played by anyone except white males, who made up the entirety of the actual expedition. This casting twist puts the words and actions of the characters into a different context, providing plenty of laughs as well as extremely touching moments.

“I hope the audience leaves the theatre laughing,” says Radcliffe, “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.” 

The production features a talented cast of Michigan Tech students:

John Wesley Powell – Paige Harsevoort

William Dunn – Celia Peters

John Colton Sumner – Zoe Oetjens

Old Shady – Leona Lins

Bradley – Ysa Cerbo

O. G. Howland – Sebastian Dash

Seneca Howland – Drew Karimi

Frank Goodman – Lexi Meyer

Hall – Abby Pilon

Hawkins – Alyssa Johnson

From attending student events and joining club meetings to volunteering, snapping photos at campus landmarks, or cheering on a game, there are plenty of quick and meaningful ways to rack up your 30 activities (full list here).

Completing the challenge not only gives you a deeper connection to campus life, but also earns you a shot at an exclusive MTU Bucket Hat and sticker.

The final day is approaching fast, so grab your checklist, rally your friends, and make these last days count.

This ensures accurate participant info and correct age group placement.

Create your accounts early to be ready!
– Additional information on how to create your user account

Thank you for your support as we make this exciting transition! We’re confident this new system will offer a more user-friendly and efficient experience for all.

Let’s build a safer, more inclusive Husky community—together. Michigan Tech invites all students to join the upcoming Hazing Prevention Week events happening throughout late September and early October.

Hazing isn’t a tradition—it’s a dangerous, harmful practice that affects campus communities across the nation. This year’s events focus on building healthy, safe traditions and making sure all students feel a strong sense of belonging.

Here’s what’s still to come:

FAQ: Federal Hazing Law & Michigan Tech Policy Updates

Learn how new national laws and recent changes at Michigan Tech are shaping how we define, report, and prevent hazing on campus.

– Various locations across campus
Stop by our tables to learn more, talk with peer educators, and make your own button showing your commitment to safe, healthy traditions.

Get involved. Be part of the solution.
Whether you’re a student leader, a first-year Husky, or just curious to learn more—you have a role to play in ending hazing at Michigan Tech. Let’s lead with respect, tradition, and safety.

We’ve got the fun, you pick the theme. Vote now for the Fall Traditions Theme!

Every fall, Huskies come together to make a real impact—and this year is no different. On Saturday, October 25, join Student Leadership and Involvement for Make a Difference Day, the largest national day of community service. Students, faculty, and staff will team up to support local organizations, agencies, and community members through meaningful volunteer projects.

What to Expect

If you know a local agency or individual who could use volunteer support, let us know. Submit a request through our site registration form or share it with someone who could benefit from the help of Husky volunteers.

This is your chance to get involved, meet new people, and support your community in a big way. Let’s make this Make a Difference Day the best one yet.

It’s that time of the year again. Applications to attend the 30th LeaderShape Institute at Michigan Tech are now open!

The Institute is not a typical leadership retreat, it is grounded in helping individuals identify the values they hold that lead to making a difference in the communities around them. By leading with passion, integrity, and a healthy disregard for the impossible, participants explore who they are and the impact that they want to have on communities working towards a more caring, just and equitable society.

This year The Leadership Institute will run from Saturday, December 13th through Tuesday, December 16th. Learn more about The LeaderShape Institute and where to apply on the Student Leadership & Involvement website

The Great Game: An Outdoor Escape Adventure at Michigan Tech

Michigan Tech’s Late Night Programming and Student Leadership and Involvement are hosting The Great Game on Friday, October 10, 2025, starting at 9:00 PM in the Memorial Union Building Commons.

This outdoor escape adventure transforms campus into a puzzle-filled arena. Teams will break a code at Husky Plaza, spot floating letters in augmented reality above the Engineering Building, and decode a Morse message near the Rozsa Center.

How it works: download the app, form a team, and explore campus while solving puzzles. Everyone competes on one leaderboard for the fastest time, but the game is self-guided so you can move at your own pace.

More than just a competition, The Great Game highlights Michigan Tech’s traditions and culture while giving students a chance to work together and experience campus in a new way.

Scan the QR code on the poster to join.

Safety is everyone’s responsibility. Whether you’re planning events, managing budgets, or coordinating volunteers, knowing how to identify and manage risks is key to your community’s success.

You’ll learn how to identify potential risks, develop event-specific and general safety plans, and ensure your organization is meeting university standards.

Date: Monday, October 6th

Time: 4:00-5:00 PM

Location: Chemical Sciences & Engineering Building Room 101

Whether you’ve been steadily crossing activities off your list or are just getting started, this is your chance to explore campus, try something new, and get involved. From attending student events and joining club meetings to volunteering, snapping photos at campus landmarks, or cheering on a game, there are plenty of quick and meaningful ways to rack up your 30 activities.

Completing the challenge not only gives you a deeper connection to campus life, but also earns you a shot at an exclusive MTU Bucket Hat and sticker. Upon completing all 30 activities, claim your prizes by stopping by the Student Leadership and Involvement Office in MUB 112. The final day is approaching fast, so grab your checklist, rally your friends, and make these last days count.

To register your child for aquatics programs this coming fall, you’ll need to:
1. Create your account *Note: Due to system constraints, only current students, faculty, and staff may use an MTU email. All others must use or create a different email address to create an account.
2. Add your children as your affiliates (with their date of birth)
3. Register your child through their affiliate profile (profile options in top right corner), not your own, for any program with an age requirement

This ensures accurate participant info and correct age group placement.

Create your accounts early to be ready!

Every fall, Huskies come together to make a real impact—and this year is no different. On Saturday, October 25, join Student Leadership and Involvement for Make a Difference Day, the largest national day of community service. Students, faculty, and staff will team up to support local organizations, agencies, and community members through meaningful volunteer projects.

What to Expect
Projects will vary depending on community needs and may include painting, weeding, planting, raking, organizing, cleaning, and more. It’s a great opportunity to get involved and make a visible difference in just one day.

Know Someone Who Needs Help?
If you know a local agency or individual who could use volunteer support, let us know. Submit a request through our site registration form or share it with someone who could benefit from the help of Husky volunteers.

Ready to Volunteer?
Sign up on our GivePulse community service website starting Monday, September 22 at 8:00 AM. Registration closes on Monday, October 20 at 8:00 AM.
Please note: Each member of your group or organization must register individually.

Event Check-In
All volunteers must check in between 8:30 and 9:00 AM on October 25 in the Commons on the ground floor of the MUB. Information packets will be handed out at check-in, and groups will head to their assigned service locations. Some sites may require driving, so plan accordingly.

This is your chance to get involved, meet new people, and support your community in a big way. Let’s make this Make a Difference Day the best one yet.

It’s that time of the year again. Applications to attend the 30th LeaderShape Institute at Michigan Tech are now open!

The Institute is not a typical leadership retreat, it is grounded in helping individuals identify the values they hold that lead to making a difference in the communities around them. By leading with passion, integrity, and a healthy disregard for the impossible, participants explore who they are and the impact that they want to have on communities working towards a more caring, just and equitable society.

This year The Leadership Institute will run from Saturday, December 13th through Tuesday, December 16th. Learn more about The LeaderShape Institute and where to apply on the Student Leadership & Involvement website

Safety is everyone’s responsibility. Whether you’re planning events, managing budgets, or coordinating volunteers, knowing how to identify and manage risks is key to your community’s success. Join us for a workshop focused on developing risk management plans and strategies that keep your participants safe, make your events run smoothly, and protect you from liability. You’ll learn how to identify potential risks, develop event-specific and general safety plans, and ensure your organization is meeting university standards. Whether you’re organizing one big event or overseeing a year’s worth of programming, this session will give you the tools to plan confidently and responsibly.

Date: Monday, October 6th

Time: 4:00-5:00 PM

Location: Chemical Sciences & Engineering Building Room 101

If you are interested in attending, please register here. Additionally, if you have any questions about this event, please email Student Leadership & Involvement at activites@mtu.edu. We hope to see you there!

Important Information for Parents/Guardians:
To register your child for aquatics programs this coming fall, you’ll need to:
1. Create your account *Note: Due to system constraints, only current students, faculty, and staff may use an MTU email. All others must use or create a different email address to create an account.
2. Add your children as your affiliates (with their date of birth)
3. Register your child through their affiliate profile (profile options in top right corner), not your own, for any program with an age requirement
This ensures accurate participant info and correct age group placement.

Create your accounts early to be ready!
Additional information on how to create your user account can be found here.
Additional information on how to create your child’s affiliate account can be found here.

Various shifts between Wed, Sep 3, 2025 and Mon, Sep 22, 2025

The Fall 2025 session of Catalyst™ will be held on Saturday, September 13th from 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM in Room G42 in Wadsworth Hall. All participants will receive free workshop materials, lunch, and a gift. Please RSVP by the end of day on Sunday, September 7th 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.
