Last week, the UPMW team from all around the U.P. came together for the yearly all-staff training. This year, it was held in Escanaba, MI. All employees took a tour of Bay College, listened to keynote speakers, saw fellow colleagues receive certificates for their hard work and dedication, and ended the night with karaoke. It was a great time spent with everyone! We can't wait for next year! 😁
