March 18, 2025 | Tech Today | Michigan Tech
Late Michigan Tech alumnus Ronald Johnston Pearce (1929-2020) had a lifelong connection to the Soo Locks and the St. Marys River in Sault Ste. Marie, which began when he was just a child. Now, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is honoring his legacy, expertise and impact on the region with the deployment of the R.J. Pearce, a tugboat being commissioned in Sault Ste. Marie this fall.
Unlocking the Next Stage: Liliana Colanzi’s You Glow in the Dark
On September 13, 1987, in the city of Goiânia, Brazil, not far from the country’s capital, a small capsule of highly radioactive material was stolen from an abandoned hospital. Although the site, the Instituto Goiano de Radioterapia, required high security, its former owners had neglected the place and squatters and looters had frequented it, intermittently, over the years.
“To Tell Is to Betray”: Marina Jarre’s "Return to Latvia" - Words Without Borders

Guest Blog: Learning Centers Help Students Get Comfortable with Discomfort
For every hour in class, students are expected to put in three outside the lecture hall and lab. Learning centers are an important part of that time investment. Students who engage in peer-to-peer learning and studying through Michigan Technological University’s learning centers bump up their grades, find support while navigating difficult subjects, help other students and build communication and group skills they’ll need in their careers.
In the Bone-Cracking Cold
On this cross-quarter day, quick to temper and cool, your long lashes startle me with their rime of hoarfrost, and I am snared like a rabbit pulled into your gravity by the run of our long love affair together.
