Late Night Presents…
Comedian Cam Bertrand
Join Late Night for our first comedian of the Spring semester – Cam Bertrand!! This hilarious event will take place Saturday, January 29 at 10 PM in the MUB Ballroom.
Cam Bertrand is one of the fastest rising comedy stars in the country. Cam’s comedy can best be described as “sophisticated ignorance”. He prides himself on being able to turn even the dumbest conversations into ones that will have you up late at night asking yourself “What is that .01% of germs that GermX can’t kill after all this time?!..”
He’s opened for some of the biggest names in comedy today including Bert Kreischer, Joe Rogan, Pete Davidson, Michael Che, and Mike Epps. He was a contributing writer on two seasons of MTV’s Wild’N’Out (Seasons 11 and 12), has over 100 million views on TikTok (@camthecomic) and his recent Dry Bar Comedy special has been seen by millions online. In 2021 Cam became a finalist on season 16 of NBC’s America’s Got Talent!

Alternative Spring Break 2022
This year’s Alternative Break service site is One Heartland. Since 1993, One Heartland has been creating life-changing camp experiences for youth facing social isolation, intolerance or serious health challenges. Their camps provide a welcoming, bully-free environment where children, youth and young adults can feel completely accepted for who they are—often for the first time in their lives. They have camps specifically for youth living with or affected by HIV/AIDS, children experiencing housing instability, and for LGBTQ+ young people. At One Heartland, young people develop self-acceptance, life-long friendships and the courage to face the world. Service tasks will include trail maintenance, cabin painting, and program preparation.
ASB 2022 will depart in a Michigan Tech 15-passenger van on the morning of Saturday, March 5th and return the afternoon of Saturday, March 12th. The cost of the trip will be $250 per person which will cover all travel, food, and accommodations for the week. Participants will be required to attend two pre-trip meetings for both planning and educational purposes.
