We are honored to have Dr. Tayloria Adams, an Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of California at Irvine this year as our keynote speaker. In 2014, she became the first African-American woman to obtain a PhD in Chemical Engineering at Michigan Technological University.

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. Last year, student organizations were encouraged to submit posters in honor of Dr. King’s life and legacy. This year, all students are invited to create a digital or art poster to be displayed in the exhibit. 

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

January 17-20th, the second week of the spring semester, Husky Innovate will host innovation-themed talks and events including the Bob Mark Business Model Pitch Competition.  Started by Michigan Tech’s University Innovation Fellows (UIFs) in 2015, Innovation Week is a celebration of innovation across our Tech Community.  Students, faculty, staff, and community are invited.

The Alley Makerspace is preparing to open for the spring semester and we want you to join our team!

The Alley is a student-led makerspace in the Memorial Union Building. Sponsored by Husky Innovate and Pavlis Honors College, the space was made to be a completely free resource for everyone at MTU to create and innovate. The Alley depends on volunteer coaches to help run the space, train and guide makers, and host fun events for students to learn more about creating. In exchange for dedicating a few hours a week to the space, coaches receive tap access to enter the Alley when it might be closed to other students. 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.

If you’re interested in joining the team, please fill out this Google form!

If you have any questions about the coach role or the Alley in general, contact makerspace@mtu.edu

Everything Everywhere All At Once

When an interdimensional rupture unravels reality, an unlikely hero must channel her newfound powers to fight bizarre and bewildering dangers from the multiverse as the fate of the world hangs in the balance.

Everything Everywhere All At Once is rated R

Chris grew up in a small town outside of Nashville, TN.  He was just a small guy with big dreams, but luckily for you, none of those dreams materialized and he decided to pursue stand-up comedy. Armed with a guitar, Chris’ humor has been described as “edgy and smart,” but that’s probably only because he likes wearing a sweater vest. Make no mistake though – Chris’ innocent and laid-back demeanor compounded with his aggressive hilarity consistently catches crowds off-guard.

Chris has worked with everyone from Last Comic Standing’s Jon Reep to SNL’s Collin Jost. His comedic songs, which often use acoustic melodies to launch into an array of satirical and self-deprecating lyrics, have been met with much approval from Chris’ rapidly growing fan base. Plus, there’s a rumor going around that catching one of Chris’ shows automatically makes you cooler. Maybe it’s just a rumor, but what if it isn’t? Are you really willing to risk it?

There is a new simple way to get “the Dean” out to your event – hat and all! If you are interested in having Dr. Southerland participate in your club sports practice, attend your hall tradition, or speak at an event, let us know by completing this simple form. Let’s HuskyUP and make it happen!

Dr. Southerland (a/k/a “Dean of Huskies”) is committed to meeting with as many Huskies and attending as many events as possible! Requests will be considered in the order in which they are received. Because of his demanding schedule, Dr. S. may not be able to attend every event; however, we will try to accommodate as many requests as possible. In consideration of Dr. S.’s time and the desire of other groups to host him at events, please limit your group’s requests to once a semester and to using only this form instead of his @mtudeanofhuskies Instagram.

Ideally, requests should be submitted at least four weeks in advance.
