K-Day This Friday!
Ahoy there, mateys! Get ready to set sail for a day of nautical fun at K-Day this Friday! We’re casting off from the Rozsa Center, and the shuttle will be making its first splash at 11:30 am.
Prepare to ride the waves of excitement because we’ve got a sea of activities lined up for you. From delicious food that will make your taste buds do the “sailor’s jig” to games that will have you hooked, K-Day is the ultimate maritime adventure.
But what’s a nautical event without some toe-tappin’ sea shanties and maritime melodies? Our live music will keep you groovin’ like a sailor on shore leave!
And that’s not all, folks. Brace yourselves for some wet and wild surprises! There might be a few water activities to cool you off and keep the fun flowing. So, bring a sense of adventure and come prepared.
Don’t miss out on this tidal wave of fun! K-Day promises to be an ocean of entertainment, and we can’t wait to see you there, all decked out in your nautical best. It’s going to be a whale of a time!

All those in favor? Aye! All opposed? (crickets)
It’s unanimous. We will see you all next week at the Robert’s Rules Crash Course!

Collegiate DECA Little Caesar Fundraiser
Like Pizza? Cheese Bread? Maybe even cookies? Then you might be interested in purchasing a Little Caesars Pizza Kit. MTU’s Collegiate DECA is fundraising to raise money for our members to attend our first DECA Engage Conference in Kansas City this year. Currently, we have reached 35% of our goal of selling 84 kits and with your support, we could grow that percentage. This is a digital fundraiser and so all orders are placed online and kits will be shipped to buyers via FedEx with the exception of In-Store Meal Deals being able to be picked up from local Little Caesars near you. Kits are easy to make, requiring just the spread of toppings, and ready to be placed in the oven. These kits would be perfect for dinner if you’re looking for something quick to make. It could even be a fun activity for families to participate in! Every kit or In-Store Meal Deal sold, the MTU DECA earns $6 in profits, and that makes a HUGE impact! Please consider sharing with family, friends, and anyone you think may be interested. This fundraiser is open to all.
To view our kits and place an order, follow this link here or scan the QR Code in the flyer attached to this email. This fundraiser ends September 13th so be sure to purchase your kits before then! For any questions about our fundraiser, contact deca@mtu.edu.
