The moment more than 950 Huskies, their friends and families have been waiting for arrives Saturday, as Spring Commencement 2022 takes place beginning at 10:30 a.m. in the John J. MacInnes Student Ice Arena.
Huskies will be addressed by student speaker Brooke Tienhaara from Calumet, Michigan, who will earn her B.S. in Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) with a minor in philosophy and ethics, and commencement speaker John U. Bacon, a bestselling author who serves on Michigan Tech’s Board of Trustees.
“I believe this generation of Tech graduates is uniquely positioned to make an incredible impact on the world,” said Bacon, a long-time Ann Arbor, Michigan resident who got to know the Upper Peninsula and Michigan Tech while writing Great Lakes features for the Detroit News and a book on the history of college hockey.
“I fell in love with the place. The leadership from President Rick Koubek on down is outstanding, and the board is the best I’ve served on. Plus, my wife and 6-year-old son Teddy love it up here, too. We’re building a lot of family memories.”
The event will also be livestreamed at mtu.edu/commencement.
