As part of its mission of "Celebrating Traditions. Creating Connections," the Alumni Board of Directors is endorsing the newly created Michigan Tech Traditions Fund. Michigan Tech hosts numerous initiatives and events throughout the year, involving students, staff, and the local community including Winter Carnival, Parade of Nations, Spring Fling, and more! The new fund will support these extraordinary traditions that help build a unique college experience and create lasting memories for current and future Huskies.
Join the Alumni Board of Directors in celebrating the traditions that make Michigan Tech an exceptional University!
