A dendroarchaeological investigation of the McGulpin House on Mackinac Island has revealed that the house was built in 1790-91, on Mackinac Island, making it one of the oldest residential structures on the island. 

The investigation was conducted by Zachary Merrill of Great Lakes Dendrochronology, according to a press release from Mackinac State Historic Parks (MSHP) — a family of living history museums and parks in northern Michigan’s Straits of Mackinac and an agency within the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.

Merrill is a Ph.D. candidate studying forest science at Michigan Tech.

“It is exciting to monitor the process of this scientific research,” said Steve Brisson, MSHP director. “We are thrilled that the data was available to get a conclusive date on the McGulpin House.”

Merrill's investigation proves that the McGulpin House was constructed on Mackinac Island. Previously, a theory suggested that the house had been constructed in present-day Mackinaw City and moved to Mackinac Island during the construction of Fort Mackinac. The dendroarchaeological investigation was carried out to test that theory, according to MSHP.

Van Pelt and Opie Library Director Erin Matas has been selected to participate in the American Library Association’s International Librarians Networking Program (ILNP).

Six Michigan Tech Nordic skiers competed at the NCAA Skiing Championships at Mt. Van Hoevenberg in Lake Placid, New York, where Anabel Needham earned second team All-America honors.

Needham had an All-American performance in the women's 5km freestyle Thursday (March 9), the first day of championship competition. She had the fastest last split (1.25km) in the race with 2:25.0 — over three seconds faster than the next fastest split from 3.75km to the finish.

Needham finished eighth and was tabbed second team All-America. Henriette Semb and Olivia Laven placed 22nd and 33rd, respectively, for the Huskies.

Skylar Patten led MTU in the men's 10km freestyle with a 14th-place finish, followed by Colin Freed in 20th and Adam Witkowski in 33rd.

"We are so incredibly proud of the entire team today," said head coach Tom Monahan Smith and assistant coach Kristen Monahan Smith after Thursday's races. "Anabel earned that All-American finish today by throwing down the fastest race split of the entire field in the last 1km of the race. The way she attacked that was downright inspiring."

The final day of the competition, Saturday (March 11), was a tough one for Tech. The Huskies finished the championships with 67 points, good for ninth place among the 16-team field.

The Huskies were led by Needham and Patten — placing 27th and 28th in their races, respectively — in the 20km classic mass start. Semb and Laven placed 38th and 39th, respectively, in the women's race. In the men's race, Freed finished 31st and Witkowski 40th.

"Today was super challenging snow conditions and we didn't have the classic race day we were hoping to achieve," said Tom Monahan Smith and Kristen Monahan Smith. "Results aside, everyone fought through the entire race and we will leave these championships proud of what we achieved as a team through this entire season."

The Michigan Tech women's basketball team's season ended Friday (March 10) in the NCAA Midwest Region quarterfinals at Kates Gymnasium, falling to Trevecca Nazarene.

The Huskies assembled a 14-0 run in the third quarter to tie the game, but fell to the Trojans 65-63, finishing the year 25-7 overall and 14-0 at home.

Alex Rondorf notched a double-double with 17 points, 10 rebounds but the Huskies struggled from 3-point range, making just 7-of-26 tries (26.9%). Ellie Mackay ended her esteemed five-year career as MTU's second all-time leading scorer in 109 games wearing Black and Gold.

"It was definitely a disappointing ending to a great season," commented head coach Sam Clayton. "It sucks to out like that when you have the year that we've had. We didn't play like we were capable. We had much better urgency in the second half, which was good. We didn't shoot (the ball) well generally and Trevecca's key players had big games. They are a dang good team, well coached, and they executed well, so credit to them."

No. 10 Michigan Tech hockey lost 4-0 to Northern Michigan on Saturday (March 11) in a CCHA semifinal game at the John MacInnes Student Ice Arena. The Wildcats scored three goals in the first period and added a late empty netter.

"Northern Michigan played well and jumped on us early," Tech coach Joe Shawhan said. "You obviously need to score a goal to win a game, and we weren't able to find one."

Tech was 0-for-5 on the power play and 3-for-4 on the penalty kill, but  generated 44 shots on goal — the second-highest total this season. Jack Works hit the crossbar in the first, with Logan Pietila getting six shots through and Brett Thorne and Tristan Ashbrook taking five.

"We regrouped after the first period but played pretty tight," added Shawhan. "Their goaltender didn't have to make any really big saves despite the large volume of shots we took. We had a lot of good looks at the net but we shot into him."

The Huskies will have to wait for the NCAA Tournament Selection Show to learn if the season continues. The NCAA bracket will be revealed on Sunday (March 19).

Michigan Tech hockey's Kyle Kukkonen has been named to the CCHA All-Rookie Team. The CCHA head coaches selected Kukkonen as a unanimous choice on the squad after he led CCHA first-year players — and the Huskies — with 18 goals.

Kukkonen has the fifth-most goals by a Michigan Tech first-year in program history and his 18 goals are the most by a Tech rookie since 1988 when Kelly Hurd potted 18. He was named the CCHA Rookie of the Week three times and the CCHA Forward of the Week once.

Kukkonen has skated in all 38 games and also tallied nine assists for 27 points. He ranks fourth nationally with five game-winning goals while also adding five power-play goals and a pair of shorthanded goals. Kukkonen had eight multipoint games and five games with a pair of goals.

Marking Equal Pay Day March 14

Today (March 14) is Equal Pay Day 2023, a day that symbolizes the extra days an average women must work to catch up to what the average man earned the previous year. According to data from the American Association of University Women, women earn 83 cents, on average, for every dollar earned by men. For women of color, the gap is even worse.

The date of Equal Pay Day changes from year to year as the situation improves — no gender pay gap (i.e., if women and men, on average, earned the same amount over the course of a year) would land Equal Pay Day on Dec. 31. This is not the case, and thus one can think of women as working into the following year to make as much as a man, on average — having to work until March 14 is having to work 50 extra days, Monday to Friday. Red is worn on Equal Pay Day as a symbol of how far women and people of color are "in the red."

What can be done? Widespread awareness is a first and very effective step in addressing the gender pay gap. Today, we’ll spread awareness by wearing red and gathering at the Husky Statue on campus from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. We’ll be giving out cookies, sharing data and answering questions. Everyone can do something, whether it’s being on the lookout for nonconscious bias in employment practices; interceding for yourself, a friend or a colleague; or staying informed on current research into the causes of workplace pay inequity.

Co-sponsoring the Equal Pay Day event this year are the Copper Country League of Women Voters, Friends of the Michigan Tech Library, and the Society of Women Engineers, Center for Diversity and Inclusion, Equal Opportunity Compliance and Title IX, Graduate School, and Women in Natural Resources Club at Michigan Tech.

Find out what you can do to help close the gap. If your organization would like to join the list of co-sponsors of Equal Pay Day in the future, please contact Faith Morrison at fmorriso@mtu.edu. You’ll be making positive change happen.

Applications Sought: Sustainability and Resilience Education Innovations

The Tech Forward Initiative on Sustainability and Resilience (ISR) at Michigan Tech invites applications for educational innovation projects that increase student exposure to sustainability and resilience in formal coursework. The ISR seeks to incentivize the creation of new sustainability curricula through new and existing coursework so more students across Michigan Tech learn about sustainability, resilience and the connection of each to their domain expertise.

Applications for Educational Innovation support will be accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis between now and March 31, with notification of awards planned by April 15.

Proposals may include support for hourly student work, summer salary or materials/supplies to develop new courses, revamp existing courses or host workshops for educating faculty and/or staff on sustainability education. Proposals may also include funds to support or incentivize participation from students, faculty and/or staff, and/or materials or supplies for coursework innovation.

Faculty, graduate students and staff are all eligible to apply. Applications can be submitted by individuals or teams; graduate students are encouraged to collaborate with a faculty member to submit an application.

We anticipate most awards will be in the range of $3,000 to $5,000, but encourage budgets that meet the project needs. Potential applicants are encouraged to reach out with questions about their potential budget.

Submitted proposals should be no more than two pages. Each proposal should include:

• A narrative description of the proposed educational innovation. This description should include at least one stand-alone paragraph that clearly describes how this educational innovation aligns with the broader goal of ensuring all students at Michigan Tech are exposed to sustainability and resilience through the curricula, including how many students are likely to be impacted by this innovation and how this innovation will be maintained in the curriculum.
  
  
• A detailed budget and a proposed project timeline. Project work should take place no later than spring 2024; the implementation timeline is flexible but should be described in the proposal.
  
  
• A list of deliverables to be provided to ISR at the end of the project period, such as a completed syllabus, a new course proposal prepared for submission, a workshop report, etc., to be determined and described by the applicant.
  
  
• Separate from the proposal document, we are also asking for confirmation from relevant department chairs that they have reviewed the proposal and are supportive of the proposal plans, especially if the proposal involves creation of a new course. This can be in the form of an email to Robert Handler. 

If you have any questions about a potential project proposal, please reach out to ask! The ISR Working Group (ISR WG) will review applications and contact applicants regarding decisions. For questions and to submit your application, please email Robert Handler at rhandler@mtu.edu.
