LSSU Resources available to the Community.

A couple of opportunities available to you:

1) A mobile renewable energy classroom that demonstrates and teaches the benefits of renewable energy technology will visit Lake Superior State University from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. on Sept. 10 and the public is welcome to tour it.

Great Lakes Energy Service, Inc. of Dewitt, Mich., developed the mobile classroom with a grant from the Michigan Public Service Commission. The modified 44-foot traveling classroom showcases real working equipment, rather than just talking about it or showing photographs. It will be parked on the LSSU campus in the visitor parking lot.

2) Students in LSSU's Training and Development course would like to assist you with any training needs you may have. The students are seniors, have
a background in various business topics and would work with you to research and develop a training session to meet your company needs. The only cost to you for this service would be the cost of supplies. Possible areas include leadership, customer service, developing creativity, and many others. If you are interested in working with an LSSU student to develop a program designed specifically for your needs, contact Linda Schmitigal at lschmitigal@lssu.edu or at 635-2195.

350 project

Scheduled for Saturday, September 25th, this event includes four races, a certified full marathon (26.2 miles), a half marathon  (13.1) miles, a 10k (6.5 miles) and a 5k (3.1 miles).    A couple of important notes:  1) all races run across the International Bridge with the exception of the 5k.  Our course is primarily fast in flat, however, runners will experience inclines on the Bridge.  An elevation chart is available on our website. 2).  The 10k is slightly longer than a typical 10k.   We've added two extra blocks to the 10k in order to allow all racers to finish at the same finish line.   This will give all runners the same opportunity to finish at the point where extra support is located, including food, medical personnel, timing folks and supporters.  
   
Volunteers Needed!  Any community event relies on volunteer help to ensure its success.  The Sault Area Chamber Chase is no exception.   We have many opportunities for you to become involved with all the race day activities.   Volunteer opportunities include:

  • Water Station:  Volunteers at water stations are responsible for handing water and/or Gatorade to runners as they pass by.   Volunteers will also need to keep the area clean and tear down the station when the race is complete.  The race starts at 7:00 am and will conclude no later than 1:30 pm.
  • Registration:  Registration activities take place on Friday, September 24th from 4 to 9:30 pm.  Registration volunteers will hand out race bibs, t-shirts and other pertinent information.   They may also be required to assist with questions from participants about the course, local activities and the procedure for changing races.
  • Course Marshalls:  Marshalls will ensure the safety of runners along the course.   Marshalls stop traffic (possibly rerouting traffic if necessary).  Volunteers must be aggressive enough to stop traffic, suggest alternate routes, and otherwise ensure the safety of runners.  Runner safety is of utmost priority!
  • Spirit Stations:   Spirit stations provide race participants with a welcoming and encouraging environment.   We are looking for groups of 4 to 5 people to be located  at specific locations along the route to provide encouragement.   These stations may have balloons, signage, music, bands, etc.  Anything that helps let the runners know their doing a great job.   Some stations will indicate turn around points for a couple of the races.
To volunteer contact Joann at the Chamber, via phone 632-3301, email office@saultstemarie.org or fax 632-2331.   Leave your name and contact information and we'll be in touch.
