K-Day is FRIDAY!!
After a year away, K-Day will be returning to Chassell Centennial Park!
Michigan Tech’s annual K-Day (Keweenaw Day) is Friday (Sept. 10). Classes will release at noon. In addition to food, music and inflatable games, more than 190 registered student organizations will have booths for the 3,500 to 4,000 students who regularly attend K-Day.
While students are welcome to drive to K-Day or carpool with friends, Student Leadership and Involvement offers large buses that will be shuttling students back and forth from the Rozsa parking lot on campus to the park starting at noon. Buses will depart about every 15 minutes and will run until all students have been picked up from the park and returned to campus.
Students planning to drive themselves, please note: There is no parking inside the park. Parking on the street is available but limited.
K-Day is sponsored by Fraternity and Sorority Life and Student Leadership and Involvement, with additional support from Athletics, Facilities and Homestead Graphics. Members of Michigan Tech’s 20 fraternities and sororities volunteer in order to make this event possible each year.
**Masks are required while on the Bus, please be prepared.

After his life being saved, David’s mission is to shine a light on this crisis and open doors to the possibility of mental health for everyone, everywhere.
