Biography

As stated in its constitution, the objective of the Alumni Association of the Michigan College of Mines was to promote the welfare of its members; to keep alive the interests of the graduates in the school and to provide an annual reunion of all the alumni. Although the name has changed (now Michigan Tech Alumni Association), the original goals have been expanded: build a worldwide alumni network; communicating with alumni on behalf of Michigan Tech; recognize outstanding alumni and friends of Michigan Tech; develop and sponsor events for alumni that contribute to the University's strategic goals; build a culture of philanthropy and encourage service to Michigan Tech and the world; and support the Michigan Tech Student Foundation and all Tech students.
