Walk a Mile in Her Shoes®- October 22, 2021
Michigan Tech Title IX and Institutional Equity along with two student organizations, Society of African American Men (SAAM) and Sexual Assault and Violence Education (SAVE), are hosting Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® event on October 22 from 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM.
The walk will start outside of the Rozsa Center near the front entrance. This event is provided to raise awareness of sexual assault and gender violence and to give men the opportunity to put themselves in “her shoes”. Men are encouraged to wear high heels during the one-mile walk. We hope that this event starts conversations about the causes, effects, and solutions to ending sexual and gender violence.
GSG presents Grammarly @EDU
The Graduate Student Government is pleased to announce that we will be launching a 60-day pilot program for the premium EDU membership of the cross-platform cloud-based writing assistant application- Grammarly. This pilot will allow Michigan Tech students, faculty, and staff to use the premium features of Grammarly @EDU for free for 60 days using the Michigan Tech SSO. This premium membership upgrades the service from basic spelling and punctuation checking to a complete writing assistant experience, including tone checks, ease of reading detection, and plagiarism check. The pilot will start on October 25 and will go on until December 24. During and after the pilot, we will send out a survey to determine the use and the need for this service for our campus. GSG would like to thank USG for supporting this initiative. Also, we would like to thank IT for providing the necessary technical support for the successful execution of this pilot.
GSG encourages everyone to use Grammarly as much as they can in different capacities. While it can assist students with writing manuscripts, efficient emails to peers and supervisors, and regular assignments, for faculty and staff it can assist with day-to-day email communications, proposal writing, and plagiarism detection. More information on the Grammarly features can be found at gsg.mtu.edu/grammarly/
If you have any questions, comments, or feedback, please feel free to reach out to Ranit at gsg-vp@mtu.edu

Being an only (and super gay) child raised by a single mom in a conservative town, Melissa found she didn’t always fit in, so she used humor as a way to connect with people.
