Last week NMC President Timothy J. Nelson sent the campus community an e-mail in regard to an issue that would be addressed at last night’s Board of Trustees meeting. As promised here is an update from the president.
Last night the regular April meeting of our Board of Trustees was held at our Parsons-Stulen building, and it was the first meeting to be video recorded. I want to thank Kyle Morrison and Dennis Schultz of our Educational Media Technologies department for their work in creating a very professional and unobtrusive process for recording the meetings. The meeting will soon be posted on the NMC website and that process will be the same for all future regular board meetings.
The college and the Board of Trustees value input from the public, and public input was a key factor in the decision to begin recording the meetings. Transparency is an important factor in keeping the public trust, and we are committed to maintaining that trust.

The Dennos Museum Center at Northwestern Michigan College will present the exhibition Seungmo Park: Meticulously Snipped and Wrapped, May 4 – September 7, 2014.
The Dennos Museum Center is pleased to present the first solo museum exhibition in the United States of the works of Seungmo Park of Seoul, Korea featuring his meticulously cut MAYA imagery and aluminum wire wrapped sculptural forms.
The MAYA (meaning “illusion” in Sanskrit) are created by layering slightly out of line and separated sheets of wire mesh. After sketching the outline of the image on to the mesh, he cuts thought the layers to varying depths to create more or less density of wire cross hatching, which when lit from behind results in images that may look transparent, illusory, or shadowy.
