Nine years of great jazz and counting! The 17th Annual Don Keranen Memorial Concert has a wide variety of jazz to suit almost every palette. The Keranen legacy is very much in evidence in both the Research & Development Big Band and in the Jazz Lab Band.

CAMPUS NEWS
Model UN at Michigan Tech Looking for New Members
Model UN is an academic simulation of the United Nations where participants (delegates) role play as representatives of a country, organization or a body (Amnesty, NATO, EU etc.).
A Model UN brings in a lot of skills that employers look at these days. These skills include but are not limited to; problem solving skills, critical thinking, creativity, people management, co-ordinating with others, emotional intelligence, judgement and decision making skills under crisis situations, negotiations and cognitive flexibility.
In order to bring this into the Tech culture, the aim is making a student organization of the same and having a Model UN conference at Michigan Tech on an annual basis.
This would not only imbibe various skills that are of particular importance in today’s job seeking environment, but would also develop one as an individual and help them see what’s going on in the world and in what ways could the world’s problems be rectified.
As this club is yet in its budding stage, we are looking for an advisor who has Model UN experience or knowledge regarding the geopolitical scenario who could guide us in our endeavor to make this event happen at Tech.
We are also looking to fill the position of Secretary for the Model UN Association at Michigan Tech and request all interested faculty and students alike send an email if you are interested in joining the club in any form—advisor, executive committee or regular member.
