Vision
Michigan Tech will lead as a global technological university that
• inspires students, • advances knowledge, and • innovates
to create a sustainable, just, and prosperous world.
Mission
We deliver action-based undergraduate and graduate education and discover new knowledge through research and innovation. We create solutions for society’s challenges through interdisciplinary education, research, and engagement to advance sustainable economic prosperity, health and safety, ethical conduct, and responsible use of resources. We attract exceptional students, faculty, and staff who understand, develop, apply, manage, and communicate science, engineering, technology, and business to attain the goal of a sustainable, just, and prosperous world. Our success is measured by accomplishments and reputation of our graduates, national and international impact of our research and scholarly activities, and investment in our University.

Kudos to Faculty Considered for Tenure and Promotion
From Woods Hole:“As a result of their publication record, Dr. X is known nationally and internationally and respected by peers.”
From Tufts University:“…their ability to lead some of these grants as PI, and participate in others as coPI, reflects further on sustainability for their programs as well as their collegiality within the University.”
From Oregon State University: “Dr. X’s research portfolio is much more diverse and substantial than is typical of many assistant professors being considered for promotion and tenure, more importantly, their research has both a national and international impact.”
From The Ohio State University:“I would comfortably place Professor X among the top 3-4 young researchers in the country.”
Kudos Continued
From Colorado State University:“It says something about a junior scholar when their work is being read in classes where future scholars are being trained.”
From University of CA –Santa Barbara:“I would predict that their achievement in the first two is sufficiently impressive to earn promotion at UCSB which is typically ranked in the top ten research universities worldwide (Leiden Rankings).”
From MIT:“Tenure is a “forever” commitment on the part of any university, and therefore it behooves us all to be cautious in granting it. Professor X has various characteristics that make me comfortable with the idea that tenure is an appropriate step…They are entrepreneurial in spirit, always thinking about new ways to interact with industry and other constituents. And I believe they can be counted on to keep MTU “on the map” for years to come.”
Kudos ContinuedFrom University of Michigan:“Dr. X can position Tech at the leading edge of the incoming wave of change: as a place where accelerated scientific discovery and engineering explorations are conducted in ways that are sustainable both economically and environmentally, and as a place where vision, innovation and technology help democratize the evolution of higher living standards and quality-of-life experiences.”
From Georgia Institute of Technology:“There are very few people in the field that can bridge theory and practice so well and in my mind they are one of the top researchers in this area globally.”
From Duke University:“This work is set to unlock a massive amount of knowledge. They are a scientific star and you are fortunate to have them.“
