About
K-Day, short for Keweenaw Day, is Michigan Tech's annual registered student organization fair with around 200 groups in attendance. Each year on K-Day, classes release at noon so our students can learn about ways to get involved and connected at Tech. K-Day typically sees around 3,500-4,000 students participate, so we can't host it on our own! We rely on student volunteers to assist with tasks such as set-up, check in, bag distribution, risk management, and food monitoring.
Volunteers are asked to check in for their shift five minutes early at the Student Leadership and Involvement table near the park entrance,
*Note that if you have classes from 8am-Noon of K-Day, you can not sign up for those shifts as this event does not excuse you from attending your classes.
