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.

October 9th will mark 56 years since Che Guevara was executed, bringing an end to a reign of terror by the Marxist revolutionary and international thug. Unfortunately, most students never learn the names of the innocents Che ordered in front of his firing squads or the effect his quest to establish socialism had on the people of Latin America. Instead, Che’s likeness has been idolized, and emblazoned on t-shirts, coffee mugs, and billboards.

To counter the lionizing of this cowardly killer, Young America’s Foundation works with students around the country to tell the truth about Che on the anniversary of his death. “No More Che Day” is designed to educate campuses about Che’s violent life and death, and underscore the faults of socialism.

YAF students will be tabling on DHH Lawn on October 9th from 9 a.m. to noon. In addition, we will have an informational meeting at 7 p.m. in Fisher 231.
