Applications are due tomorrow, Thursday, January 15th at 8:00 AM.

In collaboration with NetWork Volunteers, this Alternative Spring Break trip will travel to New Orleans, Louisiana, to support projects focused on environmental sustainability.

This trip will depart early on Friday, February 27, in two Michigan Tech minivans. Participants will stay at a house 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 New Orleans 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 Spring 2026 session of Catalyst™ will be held on Saturday, January 24th, from 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM in Alumni Lounge A & B in the Memorial Union Building.

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.

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

Questions? Email ccr-contact@mtu.edu to get in touch with our Executive Board and RI3D Committee. We look forward to seeing you on the team!

The drive will run from November 17 to December 5, with bins in the Memorial Union Building by MUB 101 and in the library by the 24-hour door. Previously, we’ve had a bring-your-own-skates policy in our club, which can be financially draining. By donating skates, you provide the opportunity for participants to experience figure skating regardless of financial obstacles.

As the number of student organizations on campus continues to grow and available practice space becomes more limited, the Student Development Center (SDC) is committed to reserving a 2-hour time slot once a week for each organization during Registered Student Organization (RSO) hours. We kindly ask that you complete the student organization request form regarding your organization’s needs for the SDC. Your feedback is important to us, and we look forward to collaborating with you.

The reservation period for the spring semester will begin on Monday, November 17, and will continue until December 22. During this time, RSOs can reserve space in the SDC for the upcoming academic semester. Please note that reservations will be processed starting January 2. We will ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to secure a space. Once the reservations have been added to the calendar and availability is confirmed, we will email student organizations to invite them to request a second time slot at the SDC.

After the spring semester is finalized, you can view the facility schedule and make additional reservations using DSE, our facilities reservation system. Step-by-step instructions for making a reservation are available at the top left of the system.

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

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.

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
