Spring 2026 Blood Drive – Critical Need for Blood!
The American Red Cross is currently experiencing a severe blood shortage due to winter weather and illness across the country. Hospital needs remain high while available donations have decreased.
The blood drive will take place on Tuesday, February 10, and Wednesday, February 11, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the MUB Ballroom. Blood collected during this drive has already been allocated to help patients in need, with a goal of 168 units each day.
Donating blood is a simple way to make a real impact. Every donation helps save lives. Over the past month, the national blood supply has dropped by 35%, and more than 500 blood drives have been canceled due to winter storms. The shortage is especially critical for blood types O-, O+, A-, and B-. Donors with these blood types are encouraged to donate red cells through a Power Red donation.
The American Red Cross strongly encourages donors to schedule an appointment in advance to ensure a smooth experience.
All donors will receive a $20 e-gift card to a merchant of their choice. Donors who sign up in advance may also receive a limited-edition Red Cross x Metallica T-shirt and guitar pick and be entered to win an autographed ESP Snakebyte guitar.

Do you want to travel for Spring Break?
Limited space remains on the Alternative Spring Break Maryland trip! If you want to be part of this life-changing journey, apply here.
In collaboration with Habitat for Humanity Susquehanna, this Alternative Spring Break trip will travel to Bel Air, Maryland, to help provide affordable housing opportunities. As part of the Collegiate Challenge program, participants will contribute by assisting in home construction projects and volunteering at a Habitat for Humanity ReStore, directly supporting families in need of safe and stable housing.
This trip will depart early on Friday, February 27, in two Michigan Tech minivans. Participants will stay in an Airbnb near the volunteer site. Most meals will be prepared and provided by the group itself. Immersion experiences, educational opportunities, and group reflection will be incorporated throughout the week. The group will depart from Maryland on Saturday, March 7th, and return to campus the following day.
When asked, “If someone were considering attending an Alternative Spring Break trip, what would you tell them?” one 2023 participant shared,
“Do it. You will not only impact another community, but will reignite your passion for serving those within your own. Alternative Spring Break trips are the perfect way to step just outside of your comfort zone with fellow students and discover what drives you. You will get to meet not only incredible community leaders, but grow connections with peers that may be outside your normal circle. It’s a great opportunity to see what issues others are facing and recognize what you can do to really change the world while building community with your own university.”
The total cost for the trip is $500 per student, which includes all food, travel, accommodations, and program materials.

An NMDP representative will be at our table to answer any specific questions you may have!
Not sure if you’re in the registry? Don’t worry, swabbing twice is okay, and better than never registering!

Meet the Cast of Proof a play by David Auburn LIVE in McArdle Theatre, February 19-21
Join us this month for David Auburn’s Proof, directed by Nich Radcliffe and featuring a talented cast of Michigan Tech faculty and students:
Catherine: played by Katherine Rauscher
Robert: played by Charles Wallace
Claire: played by Paige Harsevoort
Hal: played by Brock Maloney
The story follows Catherine, who has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, Robert, a famous mathematician. Following his death, she must navigate the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire, and the intentions of Hal, a former student searching through her father’s 103 notebooks.
“I’d call it a drama with jokes, which is actually my favorite kind of play…and there is a bit of a mystery as well,” says director Nich Radcliffe.
Despite the mathematical title, Katherine Rauscher (playing Catherine) notes: “Proof can come across as a very serious play. It definitely deals with a lot of very serious topics, but there’s some humor to it as well. But what it is not, is a play about math.”
Reserve your FREE Michigan Tech Student Rush Tickets
Michigan Tech Students are entitled to one free ticket for yourself and one free ticket for a plus one to accompany you. Note: Student must be present at the performance with a valid HuskyCard for guest ticket to be valid.
