Alum Success

"My two business degrees from LSSU were instrumental in preparing me to work at all levels of Edison Sault Electric (ESE), concluding with the privilege of becoming ESE President in 1998. My company also takes pride in that 14 out of a total of 17 management personnel and about 20% of hourly employees at ESE either have degrees from or have attended a substantial number of classes at LSSU. Finally, our company and employees have contributed in excess of $500,000 to various LSSU projects over the last 25 years. ESE Believes in Blue."

LSSU Foundation

Have A Seat Campaign

Honor a loved one, a favorite professor, a friend or family member by having a personalized brass plate displayed on a theatre seat.

Lake Superior State University dedicated its Arts Center in September 2005. It is a welcome addition to the cultural and social atmosphere of the Upper Peninsula and Northern Ontario, as well as a tremendous asset for generations of LSSU students.

The complex features a 674-seat theatre, green rooms, rehearsal halls, art studios, an art gallery, classrooms and faculty office space. With your generous contribution of $1,000, your name or the name of someone you would like to honor will be engraved on a brass plate and displayed on a seat in the theatre. The Have a Seat campaign will benefit the arts at Lake Superior State University.

For information about the LSSU Arts Center or the Have a Seat campaign, contact the Foundation Office at 906-635-2665, or foundation@lssu.edu

Hands-on Training...

Brian Applegate

LSSU's dedicated three-story fire lab made all the difference to Brian Applegate. "Our certification training classes offered real situations," Brian says. Students practice victim search techniques while controlling and extinguishing fires. Applegate says his favorite exercise was the live fire flashover simulation. "We saw how fires evolved as they burned," he says. "It’s as close as you can get to the real thing." [ more ]
