Peter Pietrangelo of Sault Ste. Marie presented a research paper at the 2010 John Burroughs Nature Writing Conference and Seminar held during the summer at the State University of New York in Oneonta. The conference, "Old Lessons for a New Millennium: Nature Writing and Environmentalism in the 21st Century," focused on the work of writers who contributed to the early conservation movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the work of contemporary writers who are exerting an influence on the development of early 21st century environmentalism.

Giving Stocks or Securities

A unique way to give to Lake Superior State University is through the transfer of appreciated stocks and securities. Whether in a “bull” or a “bear” market, stocks are a good way of giving.

If you have held the stock for just 12 months, giving stock will provide you with:

  • A charitable deduction at the full fair market value of the stock regardless of what price which you purchased it at.
  • An elimination of any capital gain tax related to the sale for this tax is waved.

In order to take full advantage of the tax benefits it is best to give stock that has increased in value from your original purchase price to get the full tax advantage. If your stock is less than your original purchase price, it is better to sell the stock yourself, claim the loss, and give the proceeds to LSSU.

Dereck Wonnacutt Robotics and Computer Science

"Lake Superior State is the only robotics program of its kind in the country. I can work up any research or senior project idea with a professor or my advisor. I studied for a year in Japan through LSSU's connection with the Japan Center for Michigan Universities, and became fluent in Japanese. A Japanese company called Fanuc makes most of the robots in our lab. I'd like to roll my senior research project into a career with Fanuc that bridges the two countries and cultures."
