Paw Prints: The Michigan Tech Journal of First-Year Writing has updated submission deadlines!

We’re now accepting rolling submissions–you can submit your UN1015 journal article for consideration for publication at any time. Review of submissions is ongoing. Contact the editorial team at pawprints@mtu.edu with questions!

If you’re proud of your work in UN1015 and would like to see it in print, navigate to our submissions page here: Submissions | Paw Prints, fill out your information, and submit a link or upload the draft. It’s that easy! 

The editorial board consists of advanced undergraduate MTU students; they will be reviewing and recommending pieces for inclusion in the journal.

If your article is accepted for publication, you will work with upper-division students on revising and editing your piece for appearance in the journal. Students who complete the suggested revisions will see their article through to publication.

There is a $100 publication scholarship for students whose articles are published!

Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in meaningful discussion. Whether you’re a veteran, a supporter, or simply interested in learning more, this event offers a chance to deepen understanding, express gratitude, and strengthen our community connections.

As most of us know, SNAP benefits will be canceled on Nov. 1, meaning that many of our neighbors may go hungry, and there will be an increased demand on local food banks. A small group of MTU students felt frustrated about this, so we decided to do something – organize and host a community soup dinner! That’s where you come in – please join us on Nov. 9 from 5-8 pm at the Good Shepard Lutheran Church (1100 College Ave, Houghton, MI 49931) to eat soup and gather! For folks who are food insecure – please come eat for free! For folks who can donate, the recommended donation is $5 (though we are happy to receive more if you are willing and able!). All proceeds will go to the Western UP Food Bank!

For those wanting to do more than donate (aka make soup or volunteer), please see the poster below as to how you can help us pull off this event!

Michigan Tech’s Late Night Programming and Student Leadership and Involvement are hosting The Great Game on Friday, October 10, 2025, starting at 9:00 PM in the Memorial Union Building Commons.

– Private and Semi-Private Swim Lessons

We’re excited to announce that beginning with Fall 2025 program registration, we will be transitioning to a NEW RECREATION PROGRAM REGISTRATION SYSTEM designed to better support our youth and family programming.

As part of this upgrade, there is an important change to how you will register your child for youth programs:

Important Information for Parents/Guardians:
To register your child for aquatics programs this coming fall, you’ll need to:
1. Create your account *Note: Due to system constraints, only current students, faculty, and staff may use an MTU email. All others must use or create a different email address to create an account.
2. Add your children as your affiliates (with their date of birth)
3. Register your child through their affiliate profile (profile options in top right corner), not your own, for any program with an age requirement

This ensures accurate participant info and correct age group placement.

Create your accounts early to be ready!

Thank you for your support as we make this exciting transition! We’re confident this new system will offer a more user-friendly and efficient experience for all.
