Why did you choose Michigan Tech? I lived in Houghton. My dad works at Michigan Tech. It made the most sense. Please tell us about a memorable experience you had during your time at Tech. I really enjoyed my time spent with the African Students Organization and being involved with African Night and other events. I also enjoyed getting to know people in the Chemistry Department.
