Student jazz combos and a few guest artists will be playing pieces from across the genre’s history, dipping into Traditional Jazz, Hard Bop, Funk, and more. The Rozsa’s main stage will be converted into a classic jazz club complete with café tables and refreshments.

Sleep Study

Ever wonder what happens to your sleep quality or health after a night out on the town? Researchers in the Kinesiology & Integrative Physiology Department are looking for the answers to these questions in a project entitled, “Alcohol and Neurovascular Control in Humans.”

The study is conducted in Michigan Tech’s new Sleep Research Laboratory in the Student Development Complex. A minimum of three sleep studies would be conducted at your convenience including a familiarization night and two testing nights. Testing nights is where a placebo or alcohol dose (consistent with 4-5 drinks within 2 hours) would be administered. Blood pressure and nervous system function would be analyzed the following morning.
