Michigan Tech’s Detroit Alumni Chapter is one of our oldest alumni groups.
In addition to hosting popular, high-energy events—like the Great Lakes Invitational Pre-Game Party and Yooper Night at Joe Louis Arena—the chapter supports a scholarship fund that helps students from metro Detroit attend Tech.
Starting this fall, the Detroit Chapter will also be hosting socials on the third Thursday of each month. Stay up to date with the latest details by liking the chapter’s Facebook page at facebook.com/MichiganTechDetroitChapter.

15 years—Since 2000, alumni and friends have supported a scholarship fund for qualifying graduates of a Detroit-area high school.
