What is LSSU’s historical background?
LSSU was established in 1946 to address the needs of returning World War II veterans and to provide educational opportunities to the people of the Eastern Upper Peninsula . The campus served as Ft. Brady starting in 1894 after the fort was relocated from the banks of the St. Mary’s. The fort was deactivated in 1944 and, thanks to the efforts of local volunteers and leadership, the Michigan College of Mining and Technology in Houghton, opened in the fall of that year as the Sault Ste. Marie Residence Center of MCMT.
