You can also catch her jokes live at stand-up comedy clubs across the country.

See your pets while you study!
Nothing reduces stress more than a friendly furry (or scaly?) friend. Share a picture of your pets with the library by Dec. 9 and we’ll display them on the screens during finals week. Simply attach a photo of your pet in the linked form. Critters of all types welcome!
Introducing a new Scholarship Opportunity for Community Service
Beginning this spring, a $5,000 award will be presented to a student who demonstrates community service with lasting and meaningful impact during their time at Michigan Tech, regardless of background or area of study. Students are encouraged to document and think about their community service contributions throughout the academic year.
Dr. David and Marie Blum have initiated this endowment in memory of Marie’s parents, Josephine and William Balconi. David and Marie remember Marie’s parents as “kind, gracious, warm, and always helpful. They were always involved in helping others.” Marie’s parents lived in the Houghton area.
“Community service is an area that isn’t typically recognized,” said Marie. “We thought it would be nice to have an award where the student didn’t have to be the top brain in the class. We want to help students who help others.”
“Everyone who will be nominated has already won because they’ve helped others,” said David. “We hope that it’s not something they do just in college, but for the rest of their lives. We hope this helps produce well-rounded students—strong not only in academics but in helping humanity.”
You are encouraged to think about the different types of community service projects in which you or other students have participated both inside and outside of the classroom. More information will be provided in the spring semester, including the nomination form, as part of the Student Leadership Awards.
