The Student Scoop

1. Khana Khazana Serving Nepalese Cuisine

Khana Khazana will be serving Nepali cuisine this Friday that will be cooked by Aadarsh Upreti; a student of Mechanical Engineering Dept. at Michigan Tech.

The main dish is Chicken Curry (Piro Kukhura). This curry is cooked with chicken and rich flavored spices and is usually served with rice. For the vegetarians, we have Black eyed bean Curry (Aloo Bodi Tama) cooked with potatoes, bamboo shoots and spices.

The second dish is Noodle Salad (Chow chow sadeko). It is a snack which is mildly sour and little spicy in taste.  It is made from wai-wai noodles and salad ingredients.

A very luscious dessert called Gojiya would be the third one to conclude your meal. This dessert is made of mainly the mixture of semolina, shredded coconut, cashew and cardamom stuffed inside a dough.

Serving is from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the MUB Food Court. The whole meal is $6.95 and includes a fountain soda or $2.50 per dish.

21. New Just In Case App Released

One easily accessible resource to help students find critical contact and support information is Michigan Tech’s Just in Case smartphone app.

This app provides quick access to resources that students can connect to regarding thoughts of hurting oneself or others, sexual violence/assault, feeling overwhelmed or being worried about a friend. Just in Case provides students with information about what to do in an emergency, how to get connected to care, as well as some strategies to assist with feelings of being overwhelmed.

This serves as one of the tools that our campus can use for suicide prevention and early intervention with students who need assistance and resources. As a University we are being asked to actively participate in a new public awareness campaign regarding sexual misconduct, and helping connect students who have concerns is one of the ways that we can fulfill this responsibility.

The Just in Case app can be found listed under Michigan Tech’s smartphone app as well as accessed directly by scanning a QR code on posters and advertisements. Users can also gain access by visiting the web page.

For questions, comments or concerns contact Karmen Markham, Case Manager for Counseling Services, at 7-2538 or karmen@mtu.edu.

They’re high-energy and very engaging. This is a show for people of all ages. It’s a perfect way to celebrate the international community that’s here in the Keweenaw.”

Founded in 1994, Step Afrika! is the world’s first professional dance company dedicated to the uniquely American art of stepping.

6. Noted Peace Activist, Arun Gandhi, at the Rozsa Center

Arun Gandhi, a world-renowned peace activist and grandson of Indian spiritual leader Mahatma Gandhi, will share memories of his grandfather and his own perspective on justice, during an evening lecture on Friday, September 12, at the Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts. An Evening with Arun Gandhi is presented in partnership with the Center for Diversity and Inclusion (CDI) and coincides with the 25th anniversary celebration of Michigan Technological University’s annual Parade of Nations, a festival that celebrates worldwide culture. The 7:30 p.m. lecture is free and open to the public.
Arun Gandhi grew up under the apartheid laws of South Africa where he faced beatings from both black and white peers. Although he initially sought vengeance, he instead came to embrace the non-violent life lessons he learned from his grandfather. He now dedicates his life to sharing this message of peace throughout the world. Arun Gandhi is the primary leader of India’s independence movement, whose name has become synonymous with integrity, courage, hope, and non-violent civil disobedience.
An Evening with Arun Gandhi is part of the Social Justice Lecture Series, launched by the Center for Diversity and Inclusion in 2012. Guest lecturers present topics that encourage critical thinking, provoke healthy debate and challenge assumptions. According to Darnishia Slade, Interim Director of International Programs and Services at Michigan Tech, Gandhi fit well with the series. “His message and story will serve as an inspiration for students and community members. We’re very fortunate to host such a prominent and influential speaker.”
The Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts is located on the Michigan Tech campus, at 1400 Townsend Drive in Houghton. For more information about An Evening with Arun Gandhi, or other upcoming events, visit the Rozsa Center online at rozsa.tickets.mtu.edu or on Facebook.

16. “Undie-rock” duo The Skivvies strip down at the Rozsa Center

New York-based comedy-pop duo The Skivvies bring their stripped-down tunes – and torsos – to the Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts on September 20 at 7:30pm. Presented in partnership with Michigan Technological University’s Student Entertainment Board, the underwear-clad pair serve up unexpected, slightly risqué mash-ups and unique arrangements of hip hop, pop hits, Broadway show tunes, R & B songs and standards for mature audiences. Doors open at 7pm. Tickets are $18 for adults and $5 for Michigan Tech students, and can be purchased at the Rozsa Center, through the ticket office at 906-487-2073, or online at www.rozsa.tickets.mtu.edu.

Award-winning performers Lauren Molina and Nick Cearley became YouTube sensations with their genre-busting covers of artists including Robyn, Carole King and Rhianna. The nearly au naturel duo soon began selling out live venues around New York and fielding requests from stars of stage and screen who wanted to disrobe and join them on stage. The pair have made appearances on NBC and filmed a pilot for the A&E network. Named the “Most Playful Performers” by People Magazine, the Skivvies were hailed by The Wall Street Journal as “smart, sophisticated … ingenious.” Mary Muncil, Interim Director of the Rozsa Center describes their performance as “stripped-down, eclectic cover songs with a dash of comedy mixed in. Add the acoustic sounds of cello, ukulele, glockenspiel and melodica – and, of course, the lack of clothing – and you have a completely unique experience, for mature audiences only.”

The Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts is located on the Michigan Tech campus, at 1400 Townsend Drive in Houghton. For more information on this and other events, visit the Rozsa Center’s website and Facebook page.

1. Community Presentation: “Learning How to Learn”

Engineering professor from Oakland University, Dr. Barbara Oakley, will be presenting a campus and community presentation on Thursday, September 11 at 7:00 PM in Room 135 Fisher Hall. 

She know firsthand how it feels to struggle with math. Dr. Oakley flunked her way through high school math and science courses, before enlisting in the U.S. Army immediately after graduation. When she saw how her lack of mathematical and technical savvy severely limited her options— both to rise in the military and to explore other careers—she returned to school with a new found determination to re-tool her brain to master the very subjects that had given her so much trouble throughout her entire life. Barbara Oakley, PhD, PE is a professor of engineering at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. Her research focuses on the complex relationship between neuroscience and social behavior, and has been described as “revolutionary” by the Wall Street Journal. Oakley’s books have been praised by many leading researchers and writers, including Harvard’s Steven Pinker and E. O. Wilson, and National Book Award winner Joyce Carol Oates. Her latest book “A Mind for Numbers: How to Excel in Math and Science (Even If You Flunked Algebra)”, has been published by Tarcher-Penguin and is now available.

Prior to her academic career, Oakley rose from private to captain in the U.S. Army, during which time she was recognized as a Distinguished Military Scholar. She met her husband, Philip, when she was working at the South Pole Station in Antarctica. Her experiences with well-intentioned altruism were shaped by her work as a Russian translator on Soviet trawlers on the Bering Sea during the early 1980’s. Oakley was designated as an NSF New Century Scholar—she is also a recipient of the Oakland University Teaching Excellence Award (2013) and the National Science Foundation’s Frontiers in Engineering New Faculty Fellow Award. Oakley is an elected Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.
