Husky Bites: Ski - Score - Spike! Student Athletes at Michigan Tech
Grab some dinner with College of Engineering Dean Janet Callahan and special guests at 6 p.m. (ET) each Monday during Husky Bites, a free interactive Zoom webinar, followed by Q&A. Have some fun, learn a few things, and connect with one another as Huskies and friends. Everyone is welcome!
Husky Bites Spring 2021 series kicks off this Monday (January 25) with "Ski – Score – Spike! Student Athletes at Michigan Tech," presented by three head coaches: Tom Monahan Smith (Nordic), Sam Hoyt (women's basketball), and Matt Jennings (volleyball). Joining in will be Suzanne Sanregret, Michigan Tech's Director of Athletics. They'll be talking about the tremendous quality of our student athletes, recruiting, academic/mental wellness, share a day in the life of an athlete, and tell us how they cope with COVID-19 challenges, too.
"We created Husky Bites for anyone who likes to learn, across the universe," says Dean Callahan. "We aim to make it very interactive, with a 'quiz' (in Zoom that's a multiple choice poll), about every five minutes. Everyone is welcome and bound to learn something new. Entire families enjoy it. We have prizes, too, for attendance."
The series features special guests—engineering professors, students, and even some Michigan Tech alumni, who each share a mini lecture, or "bite".
This spring, topics include Backyard Metals, Cybersecurity, Enterprise, Fishing, Music, Lake Superior, the Mackinac Bridge, Migratory Birds, Snow, Sports, Stents, and Volcanoes.
During Husky Bites, special guests also weave in their own personal journey in engineering, science and more.
Have you joined us yet for Husky Bites? We'd love to hear from you. Join Husky Bites a little early on Zoom, starting at 5:45 pm, for some extra conversation. Write your comments, questions or feedback in Chat. Or stay after for the Q&A. Sometimes faculty get more than 50 questions, but they do their best to answer them all, either during the session, or after, via email.
