50th Anniversary Gala
Thank you to everyone who joined us at CTU’s 50th Anniversary Gala on Saturday, October 12, 2024, at Eagle Eye Banquet Center, East Lansing. It was a wonderful event with dinner, dancing, historical displays, a photobooth, with special gifts for members and their guests.
If you were unable to attend any of the anniversary events or had scheduling conflicts, you still get a CTU gift for being a member. Contact the CTU office to schedule a time to pick up your gift.
And for CT members on other campuses, if you aren’t able to get to Lansing or East Lansing for the events, we will be bringing the goodies to you later this fall.
We haven’t forgotten you! 😊
For questions, please contact the CTU Office (517-355-1903) or email.

Dear CT,
We will not hold an election in October. Our constitution provides that we hold an election only if one of the open positions are contested. We now have only four candidates vying for the four available 2-year director positions, and we have only one candidate running for each of the other open positions.
Instead of an election, the candidates will be affirmed by acclimation of the members at the October 23 Membership Meeting. We need a quorum at this meeting so please mark your calendar now to attend on Wednesday, October 23, 2024. As always, lots of prizes and interesting topics for discussion.
The following are the members who have stepped forward to represent the membership:
Vice President (Two-Year term; expiring 2026): Andrea Rafferty
Secretary (Two-Year term; expiring 2026): Michelle Jenkins
Directors
Audit Committee
Member involvement is key to our success, and we thank every member who has stepped forward to be part of the CTU Leadership Team. Also, thank you to the Election Committee (Deb Bittner, Judy Redding, and Crissy Hodges-Chakrani) who was ready to run an election if it was needed!
