The end of the school year has finally arrived. Grueling finals have been combined with cruel weather this year. More than six inches of snow fell on Sunday night, May 11, and more was expected later this week.
Students seem more than anxious to leave campus, whether only for the summer or for good.
Student organizations are holding there final get-togethers, the DJ's on the campus radio station are hosting their last shows, and the last Michigan Tech Lode newspaper will hit the newstands soon. Commencement will be held on Saturday, May 24, and the Commencement speaker will be M. Thomas Moore, President and CEO of Cleveland-Cliffs, Inc., the world's largest producer of iron ore pellets. CCI operates two open-pit iron ore mines in Marquette County, about an hour and a half from Houghton. We'd also like to hear from you.
