From the Dean
Dear Computing Alumni and Friends,
This has been a tumultuous time for our society and for the Michigan Tech family. As the implications of COVID have unfolded, our College of Computing teams have strategized and adapted to do things differently/better with fewer resources. At the end of the spring semester, in a survey was conducted by the Provost’s office in which one-third of MTU students participated, nearly 90% of our CC faculty were rated “excellent” by students for their on-line teaching efforts. We are planning for face to face and remote classes in the fall, and our exceptional faculty will be at the forefront of innovation and quality in the MTU Flex framework. Read more.
