CAMPUS NEWS
Sign up to be a Maker Coach for the new Makerspace in the MUB
Are you interested in helping out in the new Makerspace in the MUB Basement? We are looking for motivated volunteers with an interest in “making” who would be willing to volunteer their time (approx. 2-3 hours per week) to help staff the space during the school year as a “Maker Coach”. As a Coach, you will earn access to use the space outside of regular operating hours and have an opportunity to help shape the space as it continues to develop in the future.
Coaches should have an interest in helping others learn and be excited about creating an inclusive culture of “making” here at Michigan Tech. No previous knowledge of machinery or tools is required, but you should be interested in learning more about the tools used in the space. As a moderator of the space, you will learn to quickly identify unsafe practices and advise users on how they can use the tools safely. Coaches will also share personal knowledge and experiences to help others with what they are working on. Your role will be vital for smooth operation of the new Makerspace, and will improve the experience for Makers all across campus.

WHAT IS THE MAKERSPACE EXACTLY?
Over the past few years, many students, faculty, and staff have noticed the lack of an inclusive and accessible space for members of the Michigan Tech community from any background with any level of experience to tinker, create, work on personal projects, and prototype their ideas. We need a space where artists and engineers, hackers and designers, and all members of the Tech Community can come together to make cool things and bring their ideas to life. Version 1 of this space will be opening Fall 2016 in the MUB Basement with a focus on creating a welcoming environment for you, regardless of your background, department, or level of experience.
This initial version of the space will include everything from arts and craft supplies, basic hand tools, power tools, equipment for woodworking and electronics, 3D printing and designing, and more. It will include areas for collaboration and ideation, as well as prototyping and making. As the space opens and progresses, it will continually be reevaluated in order to provide the best experience for those using it. If a tool or supply that you think is important is missing, the Maker Coaches will evaluate those needs and determine which new pieces to add. One of the coolest pieces about the new Makerspace is that is one big work in progress, with great opportunities for you and the rest of the Michigan Tech community to make an impact and create an awesome space for all Makers here at Michigan Tech.

STUDENT ORGANIZATION ANNOUNCEMENTS
Student Organization – End of Year Checklist
As we wrap up another great year, please take care of the following items before leaving campus for the summer:
- Update your organization roster on Involvement Link with new officers if your organization recently held elections. Officers receive important communications throughout the summer regarding events, volunteer opportunities, funding, training, re-registration and more. Student Activities uses the titles of President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer to create mailing lists, so please make sure your officers are labeled accordingly.
- If your organization members are graduating and have University keys to rooms or buildings, please have them return the keys to Public Safety and Police Services or to the appropriate departmental coordinator. If your members have keys to the Memorial Union Building rooms, please return them to the Manager’s Office, MUB 101.
- It would be a good idea to verify with your organization’s advisor that they are available to be your advisor for next school year. Be sure to update Involvement Link with any new changes. Let me know if you need assistance in locating a new advisor.
- If your organization has elected a new treasurer, be sure to transfer ownership of your banking account to the new officer. It’s more difficult to do this once your former treasurer leaves campus.
- Your mailbox in MUB 106 must be emptied out by Friday, April 29. Student Activities staff will be cleaning out the mailboxes the following week.
- Your swipe access to MUB 106 will expire at the end of the semester. If you would like access for the summer months, please email your request toactivities@mtu.edu and include your name, university email address, organization name, and your position within your organization.
- Please be sure that all outstanding balances with the USG and other university departments are reconciled before you leave for the summer. USG reimbursement requests were due on April 11. Your USG allocation must be used by the end of the school year in accordance to the USG constitution. There will be no reimbursements during the summer months.
- If your organization purchased or acquired new equipment this academic year, please update your inventory list on Involvement Link. If you purchased equipment that has a replacement value of $500 or more, contact me for tagging instructions.
- Start thinking now about your organization’s participation in two great Fall events – K-Day on Friday, September 9, and Parade of Nations on Saturday, September 17. More information to follow on K-Day in a couple of weeks; and information on the 2016 Parade of Nations can be found athttp://www.mtu.edu/international/events-programs/parade-nations/.
- Mark your calendars for the Fall Student Success Summit to be held on Saturday, October 8, 2016! A day-long conference for students is being planned as a collaborative effort between various campus departments. The project is lead by the Waino Wahtera Center for Student Success.
Have a great summer and looking forward to working with you again in the Fall!

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, coordinating 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 to Sriram at sparavas@mtu.edu.
