Fulfilling Our Vision
Special Section: Fulfilling Our Vision
In 2006, the Michigan Tech community got together and committed itself to three foundational principles: distinctive, discovery-based educational programs and student-life experiences; outstanding research that betters the human condition and promotes sustainable economic development; and investment in and support of the outstanding people and places that make it all possible. We hope you enjoy this special section, which illustrates in a small way how we are fulfilling our vision.
The Strategic Faculty Hiring Initiative
In a frontal attack on the divisions that stand in the way of collaborative research, Michigan Tech launched its first Strategic Faculty Hiring Initiative, in 2008.
Sustainability
Through our research, we hope to find keys to a sustainable future. Through our choices, we aim to lighten our impact on the planet.
Enterprise Plus
Enterprise is Michigan Tech’s flagship program for introducing students to the complexities of the workplace. It’s an extension of the hands-on education that sets Tech apart, in and out of Enterprises—and helps students master practical skills in places you won’t find just anywhere, like a working foundry.

Going to Michigan Tech isn’t always about being at Michigan Tech. Students have plenty of opportunities to expand their horizons.
For Students Only
