Late Night Programming is an initiative implemented by Student Leadership and Involvement with the help and support of many student organizations and student leaders. Entertainment is funded by the Student Activity Fee with additional support from co-sponsorships.
The mission of late night programming is to make an alcohol-free environment available to students through quality late night entertainment during prime social times. All performers will perform on Friday or Saturday Nights. Some performances may include adult material and content that might not be appropriate for all viewers.
To volunteer for any of these fun programs, reach out to activities@mtu.edu or look for opportunities on Give Pulse.
Make sure you save these dates in your calendar!
