Please include a headline, detailed description (who, what, when, where, contact information for questions), and jpg or png (MAX size 2MB) of a poster/image if you have one. More information can be foundhere.

If you would like to subscribe to the Student Scoop as a non-student, please email us at activities@mtu.edu.

If you would like to advertise your event to faculty, staff, and the Michigan Tech community, go to the Tech Today website and submit a story or send an email to ttoday@mtu.edu.

Deliver your message directly to the Michigan Tech community by appearing in the school newspaper! Learn more on the Lode’s “Advertise with Us” webpage.

WMTU, our own Michigan Tech radio station, allows RSO’s to submit “liners,” or short announcements regarding upcoming event or other promotions. Contact the WMTU staff for more information.
