Getting rid of books as you move out? Donate to the Friends of the Library!
Moving out/home/wherever for the summer and have some books you don’t need? Don’t throw them out, donate them the Friends of the Library! We take gently used fiction and non-fiction, audiobooks and DVDs (but no VHS or vinyl) for resale with all profits going back to the library. As long as it is not massively beat up (like a broken spine or missing cover) or heavily marked up inside, and book buyback does not want it, drop it in the shiny silver donation box located in the Library’s front vestibule. For info a couple of the categories we don’t take, see: http://lib.sites.mtu.edu/friends/donate-your-books/
If you have boxes or bags of books that you drive to campus, you may unload them at the Library loading dock during library hours, but please don’t just dump them: call a Library staff member at the Service Desk at 906-487-2508 to have someone meet you at the loading dock to bring them in.
We thank you and wish you well at your next apartment, job, and/or adventure. And congratulations to our grads!!

Tau Beta Pi is the oldest and most prestigious engineering honor society in the world. The association was founded in 1885 at Lehigh University, and the Michigan Beta chapter at Michigan Technological University was installed in 1904. We have welcomed 4,653 students and faculty alike into the society. This includes Class of 1931 graduate and Nobel Laureate Melvin Calvin, whose work has revolutionized our understanding of photosynthesis and plant biology.

CyberAmbassadors/Engineering Futures Professional Development Sessions
Tau Beta Pi: The Engineering Honor Society’s Engineering Futures program has partnered with the CyberAmbassadors Project to present several sessions through Zoom throughout May and June.
The CyberAmbassadors Project is an NSF-funded project (Award #1730137) that provides professional development training to STEM college students and professionals. It is internationally recognized by the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) and has trained over 17,300 people so far. The project’s co-PIs have since been inducted into the ASEE Hall of Fame for their work in the project.
Tau Beta Pi at Michigan Tech is inviting the entire Michigan Tech community to participate in the CyberAmbassadors/Engineering Futures program this summer to enhance their skills in communication, leadership, and teamwork. The sessions this summer are held through Zoom and are highly interactive. They will take place in three one-hour sessions in each category as follows:
- Communication: Tuesday, May 13 OR Tuesday, June 3 from 1-4 PM EST
- Teamwork: Friday, May 16 OR Tuesday, June 10 from 1-4 PM EST
- Leadership: Monday, May 19 OR Tuesday, June 17 from 1-4 PM EST
Participants who complete the entire training series will earn a certificate. These sessions are FREE and available to ALL students and professionals, including non-engineering majors, but registration is required. Fill out the registration form here to participate. Participants that complete all sessions will receive a certificate for completing the entire curriculum.
