Group 6

At Michigan Tech students can get a helping hand from alumni.. A group of African American Alumni came to Tech to enjoy athletic events and other social gatherings, but their new mission is to serve as mentors for current students

More alumni are encouraged to participate and come back to visit Tech and become mentors.

"Any new environment can be tough, but that's the way it's going to be for your whole career. Michigan Tech is a great place to start."
