The 2024-2025 academic year student health insurance plan, offered through UnitedHealthcare, is now open for enrollment. The coverage is effective from 8/16/2024-8/15/2025.
Michigan Tech requires all graduate and international students to be enrolled in a comprehensive health insurance plan. Graduate and international students must either purchase the UnitedHealthcare plan or submit a waiver showing proof of alternative coverage. Graduate students with an assistantship must still take action to enroll in the health plan. Michigan Tech does not automatically enroll any student in health insurance coverage.
Domestic undergraduate students are not mandated to have comprehensive health insurance and do not require a waiver. However, undergraduates are eligible to enroll in the UnitedHealthcare student plan, if needed.
Student athletes are required to carry comprehensive health insurance coverage. Contact Nate Larson for more information.
Visit Michigan Tech’s Student Insurance webpage, https://www.mtu.edu/hr/students/insurance/, for more information on the 2024-2025 United Healthcare plan design and rates, instructions for enrollment, and instructions for submitting a waiver (graduate and international students only).
Important note: There is a new waiver process for 2024-2025 with submissions required through the UnitedHealthcare Student Resources portal, https://studentcenter.uhcsr.com/mtu, instead of being submitted to Michigan Tech’s Student Insurance office.
If you have any questions, feel free to email studentinsurance@mtu.edu or call at 906-487-1088.

What is K-Day, you ask? Well, it’s none other than Keweenaw Day, an annual extravaganza of student involvement held at the scenic Chassell Centennial Park. Picture this: a vibrant atmosphere buzzing with the chatter of students, delicious food wafting through the air, lively music setting the mood, and a plethora of activities to engage in. With an average turnout of 3500-4000 students, K-Day is the ultimate platform for your organization to shine and attract new members.
But here’s the twist – this year, we’re putting a spin on things with our Trivial Pursuit theme! Show off your organization’s knowledge prowess and creativity by planning an activity that aligns with the theme. Whether it’s trivia games, brain teasers, or interactive challenges, let your imagination run wild and make your booth a must-visit destination for all attendees.
Registration is open now, so don’t miss your chance to secure your spot at this epic event. Make sure to have your organization’s activity finalized before registering, as space is limited, and you won’t want to miss out. And remember, the primary contact listed during registration will be the point person for all communications, so keep an eye on your inbox throughout the summer for any updates or changes.

Transportation Services is looking for feedback on a potential premium TripShot feature! The rideshare feature is similar to Uber and Lyft where users can schedule pick ups and drop offs in the community. Please share your opinions here!
Student Leadership and Involvement (SLI) has begun the scheduling process for our LeaderShape Institute! The LeaderShape Institute engages participants in a transformative experience and inspires them to create a just, caring, and thriving world. The experience is created to provide time and space for people to have conversations that matter. In these conversations and through intentional instruction and challenge, participants have time to explore their personal values in the context of community.
This program is delivered as a 4-day immersive experience. The purpose of the program is to produce a breakthrough in the leadership capacity of participants and facilitators which is demonstrated on their campus, in their community, or within their organization. Not a typical leadership retreat, the Institute is grounded in helping individuals identify the values they hold that lead to making a difference in the communities around them.
Due to this year’s academic scheduling, we cannot hold the Institute at our regular time in January. So, SLI wants to know when you think is the best time to hold this year’s Institute! Please fill out the survey and let us know what dates work best for you. We also would appreciate your input on alternative date options that you believe might work better. Thank you for your input, and we look forward to hearing from you!

Dear MTU Members, Families and All Sports Enthusiasts in Upper Peninsula!
Join us in experiencing the vibrant spirit of cricket! We’re thrilled to announce an exciting new initiative aimed at integrating the rich culture of leather ball cricket into our community life at MTU and the Upper Peninsula. We dream of having a partnership among local schools, colleges, universities, communities governing bodies and business owners to make the sports of cricket a part of UP culture in the days to come.
How You Can Get Involved
Express your interest by filling out the Google Form provided below and share the news with your friends and family.

We would appreciate it if you could fill out this form as soon as possible.
Why Cricket?
Cricket is the second most popular sport in the world, after soccer. However, Cricket is more than just a sport; it’s a global phenomenon promoting teamwork, discipline, and cross-cultural understanding. With 108 cricket-playing nations recognized by the ICC, cricket offers a unique avenue for immersive learning.
What We Envision
By introducing leather-ball cricket to the MTU and local community, we aim to enrich our sporting landscape, promote cultural exchange, and foster holistic health and spiritual wellness. We dream to integrate the culture of cricket as a part of holistic education – fostering skills and insights about STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) and MESH (Media, Ethics, Sociology and Humanity). Let’s turn this vision into reality together!

Note [source] that Cricket (in Michigan) was first introduced in Detroit with the establishment of the Peninsula Cricket Club in 1858. In 1908 there was talk of a cricket series between the English Oak and North of England teams along with eight teams in the Copper Country. A year later a cricket club was organized in Negaunee with the intention of league play with teams in the Copper Country from Calumet, Tamarack, Kearsarge, Ahmeek, Quincy, Mohawk, Trimountain, and Painesdale.
Thank you for your support and shining energy!

Innovative Global Solutions enterprise is looking for new members! if you’re interested in learning more about what we do, come join us at our info session Thursday, March 28th!
Joining an enterprise is a great alternative to senior design. It gives members the flexibility to choose the project they work on and it allows them to become more familiarized with the project as the work is spread out over a two-year timeframe. Unlike senior design where students dedicate 15-20 hours a week to project work, with Innovative Global Solutions enterprise, only 3.5 hours/week are required during the first year and 7 hours/week during the second year. Being a part of an enterprise also allows for more team bonding opportunities and the flexibility to experience new teams within the enterprise realm!
