April 7, 2026

Robert Schneider, assistant professor of mathematical sciences at Michigan Tech, is well known for his musical bona fides: founding member of the influential underground music collective Elephant 6, frontman of psychedelic pop-rock group The Apples in Stereo, and producer of the band Neutral Milk Hotel’s iconic album “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.”

In 2012, Schneider stepped away from the indie rock spotlight to enter the world of academia. Since arriving at Tech in 2022, his work has reverberated throughout the global math community. Last year, Scientific American noted that a question posed by Schneider, a former student of mathematician Ken Ono, led Ono and two colleagues to identify a completely new method for finding prime numbers using integer partition theory.

Schneider’s subject matter has changed, but his star power remains — and his exploration of sound resonates as strongly as ever at Michigan Tech, where he’s partnering on projects that extend from the College of Engineering’s anechoic and reverberation chamber to the depths of the Keweenaw Waterway.

Learn more about the indie legend and why he came to Tech in the 2026 Michigan Tech Magazine.

The Waino Wahtera Center for Student Success invites the Michigan Tech community to stop by the Alumni House to recognize and thank Karen Wade for her dedication and meaningful contributions to the MICUP (Michigan College/University Partnership) Program and its students.

Wade joined Michigan Tech after a 25-year career in banking, beginning a new chapter that has made a lasting impact on student success. This year, she will mark 17 years of service with MICUP. 

Beginning by supporting the grant’s budget, Wade’s contributions have grown into long-term leadership of the program’s financial operations; however, her role extends far beyond fiscal management. She also plays an integral part in planning and executing MICUP’s seven-week summer research program, where students live on campus and participate in immersive, hands-on academic experiences.

Recognized for her encouraging and supportive presence, Wade consistently motivates students to step outside their comfort zones and fully engage in the academic and personal opportunities available to them during their time in the Keweenaw.

“MICUP is my favorite program; so much so that my husband and I spend our anniversary with the students at the poster presentation and final banquet at the end of the program,” said Wade, whose commitment to MICUP is deeply personal.

Wade was supposed to be recognized for her service at the King-Chávez-Parks-hosted Opportunity Within the Classroom Conference, held March 15-17 at Western Michigan University, but was unable to attend due to weather.

Michigan Tech’s H-STEM Engineering and Health Technologies Complex has been selected to receive the prestigious U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) Award for Project Excellence in Michigan — a wonderful recognition of the University’s commitment to sustainable, high-performance design.

The H-STEM Complex achieved LEED Gold certification and reduces energy use by 55% compared to code through a high-performance building envelope, advanced laboratory systems and on-site renewable energy. The award nomination highlights the thoughtful design, careful materials selection and diversion of 70% of construction and demolition waste as a model of local leadership — advancing both education and sustainability while setting a lasting precedent for high-performance design in cold-climate communities.

Congratulations to the entire H-STEM project team for being selected for this prestigious award.

Learn more about the H-STEM Complex design features at the USGBC project page.

Michigan Tech Archives Travel Grant Virtual Talk with Eric Gollannek

The Michigan Tech Archives are proud to partner with the Friends of the Michigan Tech Library to host the next presentation in our longstanding Travel Grant Speaker Series. Please join us for the free online presentation on Zoom today, April 7, at 4 p.m.

Join the Archives Travel Grant Talk on Zoom.

Eric Gollannek, Ph.D., from the Saugatuck-Douglas History Center, will join us to share his research related to rural life in the Copper Country during the Depression Era. The title of the presentation is “Great Depression Era Agricultural Buildings and the Transformation of Rural Life in the Keweenaw Region in the 1930s and 1940s”.

Rural communities across the country suffered from large scale economic and environmental crises during the 1930s. This talk explores some of the ways agricultural engineering research and New Deal-era government programs helped people across the Keweenaw Peninsula during this period. Research conducted in fall 2025 with support from an Archives Travel Grant led to new insights into the local administration and personal stories behind New Deal programs. This research, combined with earlier work with archival and material culture collections at Michigan State University, helps explain changes in rural life through farm modernization.

The evidence for farm modernization comes through analysis of 50 surviving architectural models, extensive archival materials and records of completed demonstration projects built cooperatively by university extension agents and farmers across the state of Michigan. This program focuses on rural landscapes and farmsteads in Houghton and Baraga counties.

For more information, please reach out to University Archivist Lindsay Hiltunen at copper@mtu.edu.

2026 Annual Power Outages

Facilities Management has developed a five-year rotating plan to service the 12,470-volt switchgear and associated circuit breakers on Michigan Tech’s campus. Our campus electrical distribution system depends on this equipment being in good working condition. This work requires a two-night power outage that affects the least number of buildings possible.

We understand that shutting off power can be inconvenient, but we believe that by taking a proactive approach, we reduce the chance of an unplanned failure during the academic year that is even more inconvenient or disruptive.

Please note: In most cases, elevators, fume hoods, exhaust fans, ventilation equipment, normal lighting, plug-in appliances and plug-in equipment will not operate during the outages. Only items connected to the building emergency generator will have power during the outages. The building emergency generators and battery systems that supply power to emergency/egress lighting and special equipment should function as normal. If you are unsure if your equipment connects to the building emergency generator, please contact the Facilities Management building mechanic for your building.

Additionally, Michigan Tech IT will be turning off all network equipment in the affected buildings for these outages, starting at 5 p.m. You should plan to save any work, shut down your computer systems and exit the buildings before the outages.

Buildings affected by the power outages will have the power shut off during the scheduled outages. Some buildings with power will be without phone or internet service.

First power outage:

• Starts: Wednesday, April 29, at 6 p.m.
• Ends: Thursday, April 30, at 6 a.m.

Second power outage:

• Starts: Thursday, April 30, at 6 p.m.
• Ends: Friday, May 1, at 6 a.m.

Buildings affected:

• Hillside Place
• Daniell Heights
• Douglass Houghton Hall
