The Rozsa Center Lobby was filled with energy on Tuesday evening as students from across campus gathered for Michigan Tech’s fall Enterprise Day. The event, hosted by the College of Engineering and the Pavlis Honors College, gave students a chance to explore the wide range of student-run Enterprise teams that collaborate on real-world engineering, computing, and design projects.
Each table featured current members ready to talk about what their teams do, from building autonomous vehicles and developing software to testing new energy solutions. The atmosphere felt more like a career fair than a casual showcase, with students asking detailed questions and showing genuine curiosity about how they could get involved.
One of the teams drawing attention was the Game Development Enterprise, where senior computer science major, Angelina Hulka, spoke with visitors about her experience. “It’s a student-run group with nine subteams working on different games,” she explained. “What I like most is the teamwork and the chance to work on real projects that feel like the industry.”
While many attendees were returning students, the event also attracted newcomers like Alex Ramirez, a first-year mechanical engineering student. “I’m just exploring my options right now,” he said. “I came to see what fits my interests and to meet people who are already part of Enterprise. It’s cool to see what upperclassmen are doing.”
Throughout the evening, students moved from booth to booth, collecting flyers, swapping contact information, and talking directly with team leads and faculty advisors. Appetizers in the Rozsa lobby kept the atmosphere relaxed as conversations about drones, robotics, and app design flowed easily.
Enterprise Day, held each semester, continues to be a launch point for students looking to apply classroom knowledge to hands-on projects. Whether attendees left ready to sign up or simply inspired to learn more, the message was clear: there’s a place for every Husky to innovate and collaborate at Michigan Tech.
