Corporate Representatives Looking to Connect with Student Organizations
Career Services and academic departments at Michigan Tech are experiencing increasing demand from employers to connect directly with students, and in particular, student organizations. As such, corporate representatives are interested in connecting directly with your student organization!
What can this mean for you and your organization’s members?
1. An opportunity to learn about careers and industries you may not be familiar with.
2. One-on-one engagement with recruiters that can give you access to internships/co-ops/full-time jobs.
3. An opportunity to gain funds to support your organization and its programming.
Career Services has 43 corporate partners that have over $40,000 in the flexible spending accounts currently – funds that can be paid to your organization with a phone call.
If your organization is interested in this type of engagement with industry representatives, we are asking that you fill out this very short questionnaire.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Ke6I_6OOoR5CIhwPL2HmaF8loIkWjYt0FQeay6gVojc/edit?ts=5b8957fe
This information will be passed on to companies so they will know how to engage Michigan Tech students while on campus. You can have your organization removed from this list at any time with a phone call to Steve Patchin, director of Career Services, at 906-487-2313 or email shpatchi@mtu.edu.
We need your information by Monday September 17, as companies recruiting this Fall have already been asking for this information.
IDEA PITCH FOR HAUNTED MINE EVENT
QUINCY MINE HOIST ASSOCIATION JUST UPPED THEIR HAUNTED MINE GAME!
The Quincy Mine Hoist Association (QMHA) and Michigan Tech Visual and Performing Arts Department are teaming up to offer the best Haunted Mine Event ever! In preparation, the production team is looking for creative ideas for awesome and scary scenes. All are invited to toss ideas to the production team via an “idea pitch.” Anyone interested in submitting an idea, or in taking part in the tour should fill out this form: Idea Pitch Form. Ideas will be selected based on feasibility and potential for the ultimate scare. Scenes will be under the direction of a professional theatre director and actors will be auditioned to fill the necessary roles.
This year’s theme:
Secret Portal to the 90th Level – Tourists have been disappearing only to reappear having passed through the eerie depths of the mine unseen for years!
Tours will be October 25, 26, 27. There will be some rehearsing this year that will require a few hours of commitment before we embark on the actual mine experience. Technical load-in will be October 21-24.
The Team is looking for a very brief description of a mini-plot or scenario that might take 1-5 minutes. These scenarios are partly improvised situations where one or more individuals interact with each other and/or the customers who enter the mine during the tour. Envision costumes, lights, props, sounds, special effects, etc. Come on Saturday to talk to the Team and pitch your idea. Individuals, partners, and groups are all invited to submit ideas. There is no limit to the number of ideas.
If your idea is chosen, you and two friends will be invited to a special sneak preview of the whole mine tour before the event opens to the public.
If you are interested only in being a part of the Haunted Mine experience, just answer the survey questions in the form.
For more information contact Trish Helsel, Associate Professor of Theatre, Visual and Performing Arts Department, Michigan Technological University: helsel@mtu.edu, (906) 487-3283, or Mary Kozmor (Production Manager): makozmor@mtu.edu or call 734-512-9901
Idea submissions will be open until midnight, Monday, September 10.

Takeover Snapchat
University Marketing and Communications at Michigan Tech is looking for student groups to run temporary takeovers of its Snapchat account. UMC is seeking your help in identifying responsible and outgoing students in your organization who would be willing to run a Snapchat takeover. The benefit to you? Raising student awareness about Michigan Tech in general and about your organization in particular.
The university Snapchat coordinator, Ben Jaszczak, works with campus groups like yours to organize awareness-raising Snapchat takeovers targeted to current and future Huskies. With over 2,000 followers, our Snapchat account is a great way to reach undergraduate and prospective students.
To run a Snapchat takeover, all you need to do is identify a student(s) who is willing to run the takeover and choose a time slot of 1-3 days where they can highlight your program or event. With that information, contact us at video@mtu.edu to schedule your takeover. You can direct any questions about this event to Ben Jaszczak, Multimedia Specialist and Snapchat Coordinator, at bjjaszcz@mtu.edu. We appreciate your help!
At-Risk for Students Course
College can be stressful at times, and Michigan Tech wants to empower our students with t
he resources they need to help one another. We’re excited to present the Kognito simulation At-Risk for Students course, which will help in recognizing signs of distress, determining if a friend needs help, how to talk to someone in need of help, or where you or your friend can turn to for resources. It can be difficult to deal with these kinds of issues, but an effective conversation can help more than you think-it can help change someones life. We hope you enjoy this simulation, as we all work together to help one another and build a stronger community.
Kognito is an online training simulation to help students learn how to talk to others in need and help in a crisis situation using role playing.
If you encounter technical issues, please contact Kognito‘s support team at: support@kognito.com
