The Fall 2025 session of Catalyst™ will be held on Saturday, September 13th from 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM in Room G42 in Wadsworth Hall. All participants will receive free workshop materials, lunch, and a gift. Please RSVP by the end of day on Sunday, September 7th so we can ensure we have adequate food and supplies for all participants.

What is Catalyst?

Catalyst™ is a great entry into the LeaderShape® community. It is a one-day program focused on developing your own authentic path, connecting to groups and causes you care about, and committing to a plan to be a catalyst for yourself and the groups you’re part of.

Throughout the program you’ll consider powerful questions that move you towards action:

Am I on the right path? Who do I want to be? How can I connect with other like-minded individuals? In small-group dialogue, large group interaction, and personal reflection, you’ll learn alongside others who also want to start something extraordinary.

Robert’s Rules of Order can make meetings more effective, but only when everyone understands how to use them. Join us for HuskyLEAD: Robert’s Rules 101, an engaging, interactive workshop that demystifies this widely recognized system for running orderly, productive meetings. Whether you’re leading an organization or simply want to better understand parliamentary procedure, this session will give you the essential tools to participate in or conduct meetings with confidence, clarity, and fairness.

Date: Monday, September 8th

Time: 4:00-5:00 PM

Location: Fisher 127

If you are interested in attending, please register here. Additionally, if you have any questions about this event, please email Student Leadership & Involvement at activites@mtu.edu. We hope to see you there!

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.

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.

Moving out/home/wherever for the summer, and have some books you don’t need? Don’t throw them out, donate them to 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 the 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!!

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). Title IX and the student group S.A.V.E. will host several events over the next few weeks to raise awareness. One of our primary events is Denim Day. Since 1999, Peace Over Violence has run an inspiring and powerful campaign to practice solidarity and support survivors by renewing the commitment to exposing harmful behaviors and attitudes surrounding sexual violence. Denim Day is recognized on a Wednesday in April in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Denim Day began after the Italian Supreme Court overturned a rape conviction, arguing that because the victim wore tight jeans, she must have helped remove them—implying consent.

Do you have jeans taking up space in your closet? It’s time to give them up. We are holding a denim drive from March 31 to April 3. On April 3, students, staff, and community members are invited to paint denim with messages of support for sexual assault survivors. We will display the denim on Walker Lawn from April 4 to April 30.

Gala Latina is hosted annually by the Society of Hispanic Professionals in Engineering. This year’s theme is Western/Vaquero so come with your boots or semi-formal is fine (we’re not strict on the dress code). Gala Latina is a free cultural event, open to the community, located on campus in the DHH ballroom, making it easily accessible for residents. This event is meant to be a de-stress opportunity for students to let loose and create a sense of community for everyone while also learning something new about our Latino culture. There will be music of various cultures and dancing will be strongly encouraged. We will provide food, music, and prizes like Lego sets, nerf guns, a snow cone machine, and a telescope.
