Stories from Husky Nation

At Michigan Technological University, extracurricular activities can help students find their careers. Just ask Ben Amat '26, who found his career path on the sled dog trail. Amat came to Michigan Tech as a new student unsure where he wanted his studies to take him — but there was never uncertainty about his choice of schools. His older brother Peter, who graduated from Tech with a bachelor's degree in computer engineering in 2023, had shared his positive experiences as a Husky. Combining that endorsement with his own love of the outdoors and an appreciation for class sizes that allow for personalized attention made choosing Tech easy.
