Purple Hearts Presented by Michigan Tech Theatre

7:30 PM | April 10-13, 2024

In the McArdle Theatre

Purple Hearts, by C.S. Wallace, is the heartbreaking, inspiring, and sometimes funny story of three men who, in the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor, find themselves trapped aboard the now-sunken USS West Virginia. In this intimate story, we explore these men’s relationships and character as they fight for the lives they hope to live and wrestle with the lives they’ve lived thus far. Their loved ones and the impact of the events on them also play a critical role in the piece. Based on true events, this play is the Michigan Tech debut for director Nich Radcliffe and the final bow for five graduating seniors in the cast.

At Michigan Tech, we are dedicated to inspiring the leadership needed for all individuals to boldly push everyday boundaries while serving others. For nearly 30 years, we have hosted the LeaderShape® Institute as a way to do just that. Do you want to develop your leadership skills and learn to lead boldly? If so, you are invited to apply to LeaderShape Institute which will be held January 3-6, 2024, at the Ford Center in Alberta, MI just prior to the start of the Spring Semester.

LeaderShape Institute is a four-day retreat that provides participants the opportunity for self-discovery in a community of peers. The Institute helps individuals identify their values and develop a vision for something they care about through self-assessment, intensive small-group discussions, team-building challenges, and more. By leading with passion, integrity, and a healthy disregard for the impossible, participants explore who they are and the impact that they want to have on communities working towards a more caring, just, and equitable society.

We know leaders don’t need to hold a position or a title to impact their community. No matter who you are, how you are involved on campus, or what your future goals are – this program could benefit you. But don’t take our word for it, hear what some of our past participants have to say on our LeaderShape webpage.

The application is available online now through November 5, 2023. Thanks to donations (equivalent to $750 per student), the participation fee for the Institute is only $100 per participant. Additional sponsorship may be available for even that individual fee from other University groups, so don’t let that stop you from applying! Our office will work with you to find additional support as needed.

Have questions or need more information? Contact SLI at activities@mtu.edu.

Looking to help create a College Democrat Club at Michigan Tech?

I am a student here at NMU and President of the College Democrats here. I understand that there are various political groups up there, but there isn’t a Democratic group up there. And I wish to open the door for campus political life to become more diverse and rich. I want to create a true political representation of college students all over the Upper Peninsula. I am the only Democratic club in the Upper Peninsula currently. If there is at least one person who is willing to take the helm and steer the ship so to speak I think we could do good things for all.

If you are interested in starting a College Democrat Club at MTU, please email Alec LaPlante at allapan@nmu.edu.

For more information visit our MLK website. To register for the banquet use the following link: https://forms.gle/yNMNx2366hMEjRobA

This program is partially sponsored by the Visiting Professor Program which is funded by a grant to the Office of the Provost from the State of Michigan’s King-Chavez-Parks Initiative. 

Michigan Technological University is an Equal Opportunity Educational Institution/Equal Opportunity Employer that provides equal opportunity for all, including protected veterans and individuals with disabilities.

This year for the 34th Annual MLK Celebration,  The Van Pelt and Opie Library will be featuring an MLK exhibit on display along the curved wall in the Opie Reading Room.

The exhibit will also feature an interactive “I have a dream” poster, as well as a dedicated service space for students to write letters to a local community organization and Letters of Love, a nonprofit organization that provides support for families who have been displaced by the turmoil in Ukraine.

Michigan Tech is proud to announce that we are now a certifying organization for the President’s Volunteer Service Award! The President’s Volunteer Service Award recognizes the important role of volunteers in America’s strength and national identity. This award honors individuals whose service positively impacts communities in every corner of the nation and inspires those around them to take action, too. Eligible students who record a qualifying number of verified community service hours on GivePulse in the 12-month period between Monday of Week 10 of consecutive Spring semesters will automatically be certified for recognition. Students can learn more about how to qualify on our website.

Due to our status as a certifying organization and previous inconsistencies, we have created a new comprehensive guide on what SLI classifies and will verify as service hours. These guidelines apply to all service hour submissions received on or after January 1, 2023 regardless of when the service hours were performed. The most important addition is that “Submissions must include a detailed description of the service performed as well as a phone number or email address of a verification contact.” To meet the requirements of the PVSA, we must be able to verify all hour completions. We hope with a better understanding of these requirements, students will continue to have a meaningful and significant impact on our communities

The tools in the space that coaches are trained to use include 3-D printers, an electronics/soldering station, sewing machines, a Cricut, a CNC, and woodworking equipment such as a table saw, miter saw, scroll saw, drill press, jigsaw, and basic hand tools.
