Wednesday, October 14th, 2026 @ 6:30 pm (Check-in at 6:15 pm) – MUB Commons

Open to all students, this is a night to show off your Euchre skills or to just have fun playing cards with friends. Join Euchre Club at Michigan Tech for a night of fun at a Euchre Tournament!

We will begin the event at 6:30 pm by going over the format and game rules for the tournament, with the rounds starting soon after. Each round will last until one team has 10 points, and rounds are capped at 25 minutes each. Once the round is over, the leaderboard will be updated, and the next round will start. It will be hosted as a Round-Robin style event; instead of a bracket system, 5 games will be played, and whatever team wins the most games will be crowned the winner.

In the end, one team will be taking home the cash pool. Do you have what it takes?

Interested in playing more euchre? Pop into Euchre Club for a casual game–or several. All levels of experience are welcome, and we meet on Wednesdays from 8- 10 p.m. in Fisher 126.

Breakwater Federal Credit Union, in partnership with the Michigan Tech Muslim Students Association (MSA), is returning to Michigan Tech on Thursday, October 8, 2026, for the second workshop in an ongoing financial education series designed to help students feel more confident building their financial future.

The upcoming workshop, “Credit & Your Financial Future,” will focus on establishing credit, understanding credit reports and scores, factors that can impact credit, and using credit responsibly. Students will learn how building and maintaining a strong credit history can play an important role in future financial decisions, from renting an apartment or purchasing a vehicle to eventually financing a home.

The series was developed in partnership with MSA to provide relevant financial education for international students and families who may be navigating the U.S. financial system for the first time. While it was created with the needs of international students in mind, students from all backgrounds can benefit from learning more about credit. All Michigan Tech students are invited to attend.

The workshop will take place from 5:00–6:00 p.m. in the MUB Alumni Lounge B. Families are welcome, and activities for children and refreshments will be provided.

Those planning to attend are kindly asked to register in advance so we can prepare enough refreshments and materials for everyone.

The Aerospace Enterprise recruiting process has opened! We are looking for students who want to become prominent engineers and leaders in the Aerospace industry for the Spring 2027 semester. There will be information sessions on Wednesday, October 7th and Tuesday, October 13th. Both sessions will be hosted from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM in M&M U115. Please attend at least one info session!

The Aerospace Enterprise, founded in 2001 by Dr. Lyon King, Professor of Space Systems, has aided in providing several skill sets and leadership experience to the hundreds of members who have gone through the program. The program allows you to earn senior design credit while gaining valuable skills and networking.

The Aerospace Enterprise is currently developing and testing two spacecraft missions: Auris and Stratus. Auris, sponsored by the U.S. Air Force Research Labs, determines and characterizes spatial locations and radio-frequency emissions of unknown geostationary satellites. Stratus, sponsored by N.A.S.A., characterizes cloud coverage over various Earth regions to determine optimal solar-farm placement.
Additionally, within the past few semesters, the Aerospace Enterprise has added two new missions: Connexus and Descensus. Connexus is a server database focused on connecting the entire enterprise using various organizational methods and data management. Descensus is a mission for the NASA Cansat competition that changes mission requirements annually to help solve real-world problems while testing aerospace vehicles.

For any inquiries, further information, or schedule conflicts with both information sessions, email aerospace@mtu.edu.
