You are invited to take part in a research study examining the link between food access and behaviors. This survey is administered by Dr. Kelly Kamm and undergraduate research assistant Lauren Ossenheimer in collaboration with Copper Shores.

The goal of this research study is to examine food access and behaviors within the Michigan Technological University’s student population. By participating in this study, you will contribute valuable insights into student food access, helping shape future resources and programs on campus.

To be eligible to participate in this study, you must be 18 years of age or older, be a current student at Michigan Technological University, and live off campus (not in any of the following: McNair Hall, Wadsworth Hall, Douglas Houghton Hall, or East Hall).

The survey takes about 20–30 minutes to complete. As a thank-you, the first 400 students who complete the survey will receive $10, though all students are encouraged to participate. Your name and email will be stored separately from your survey responses. By completing this survey, you are voluntarily agreeing to participate. If you choose to participate in this survey, your responses will be anonymous and compiled with others to assess and inform food access programs and projects on our campus.

A list of compensation recipients will be provided to MTU Financial Services for tax reporting purposes in accordance with MTU’s human research compensation policy. Recipients will be mailed a check to the given mailing address.

Your participation in this survey is not necessary to use campus food access resources now or in the future. There is no cost to participate in this survey. There is no direct personal benefit to participating in this study. The MTU Institutional Review Board has reviewed our request to conduct this research project. If you have any concerns or questions about your rights in this study, please contact the Michigan Tech IRB at 906-487-2902 or email irb@mtu.edu. Please contact Dr. Kelly Kamm at kbkamm@mtu.edu if you have general survey questions.

Are you looking for a summer course that goes beyond lectures and exams—one that lets you apply what you’re learning in real communities, with real impact? If you’re interested in environmental science, sustainability, cities, or working with people, we invite you to consider a new Summer 2026 course: UN3013 – Summer in Detroit: Community-Engaged Environmental Science.

This course offers a unique opportunity to step outside the traditional classroom and learn environmental science through direct, hands-on engagement in the Detroit Metro and Highland Park communities. Rather than only exploring environmental challenges, you will work alongside community partners and middle and high school students to explore how urban environments function and how science can support healthier, more just communities.

Throughout the course, you will co-design and co-teach experiential STEM activities with 7th–11th grade students, serving as both a learner and a mentor. You’ll gain practical experience using tools such as GIS and drone-based data collection, while also participating in activities like tree planting, soil and water testing, biodiversity mapping, and environmental storytelling. More than half of the course is dedicated to experiential, community-based learning, allowing you to build skills through action, reflection, and collaboration.

In addition to developing technical and field skills, this course emphasizes ethical community engagement, environmental justice, and the social and historical context of urban environments. You’ll reflect on your experiences and learning throughout the summer and ultimately create an Essential Education E-Portfolio that showcases your civic engagement, applied knowledge, and professional growth. This portfolio can be a valuable asset for internships, graduate school applications, fellowships, and future careers in environmental science, policy, education, outreach, or related fields.

UN3013 is especially well-suited for students who enjoy hands-on, people-centered learning and are curious about the connections between the environment, equity, and community well-being. No prior experience with GIS, drones, or outreach is required. Just a willingness to learn, engage respectfully with communities, and apply your education in meaningful ways.

More information about the course and registration can be found here: or by scanning the QR code on the attached flyer

You are invited to take part in a research study examining the link between food access and behaviors. This survey is administered by Dr. Kelly Kamm and undergraduate research assistant Lauren Ossenheimer in collaboration with Copper Shores.

The goal of this research study is to examine food access and behaviors within the Michigan Technological University’s student population. By participating in this study, you will contribute valuable insights into student food access, helping shape future resources and programs on campus.

To be eligible to participate in this study, you must be 18 years of age or older, be a current student at Michigan Technological University, and live off campus (not in any of the following: McNair Hall, Wadsworth Hall, Douglas Houghton Hall, or East Hall).

The survey takes about 20–30 minutes to complete. As a thank-you, the first 400 students who complete the survey will receive $10, though all students are encouraged to participate. Your name and email will be stored separately from your survey responses. By completing this survey, you are voluntarily agreeing to participate. If you choose to participate in this survey, your responses will be anonymous and compiled with others to assess and inform food access programs and projects on our campus.

A list of compensation recipients will be provided to MTU Financial Services for tax reporting purposes in accordance with MTU’s human research compensation policy. Recipients will be mailed a check to the given mailing address.

Your participation in this survey is not necessary to use campus food access resources now or in the future. There is no cost to participate in this survey. There is no direct personal benefit to participating in this study. The MTU Institutional Review Board has reviewed our request to conduct this research project. If you have any concerns or questions about your rights in this study, please contact the Michigan Tech IRB at 906-487-2902 or email irb@mtu.edu.

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.

The Society of Medical Laboratory Scientists (SMLS) is partnering with the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) to help potential donors sign up for the marrow registry! Being a donor can help save a life, and is often a rewarding experience.

On February 18th, stop by the library any time between 10am to 3pm to see if you qualify for the registry. You will then swab your mouth. 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!

Not sure if you’re in the registry? Don’t worry, swabbing twice is okay, and better than never registering!

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.

For more information, visit the Student Leadership and Involvement page.

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.

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

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

Applications are due Friday, January 30th at 8:00 AM.

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.

Help us kick off a new tradition! Join Student Support and Mentorship at the Alumni House Jan 26-30 (8am-5pm), to create Winter Carnival-themed ornaments for our winter tree.

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.
