The next phase of MAP (MyAcademicPlan) is here! Faculty advisors will now be able to use Plans, the digital degree planning tool. Accessed from the MAP portal, Plans will allow Faculty advisors to create a semester-by-semester plan with student advisees, helping them see the pathway to degree completion.
If you missed your department area training and the drop-in training, we recommend attending a session on Plans during the October 18 Professional Development day. If you have questions or would like to schedule an additional area training session, please contact Kim Schultz in the Advising Center or Lisa Wilmeth in Records & Registration.

KUDOS- (praise or respect that you get because of something you have done or achieved) defined by Merriam-Webster.com
Submit a Kudos here.
Kudos to Stephen Drake- He went above and beyond in helping me understand concepts in college algebra. I previously had thought there was no way I would ever pass the class (having taken and dropped it TWICE at a different school), but Drake’s patience and knowledge has proven me wrong. He is without a doubt one of the best teachers I have had.
Kudos to Steve Dixon- Steve works many hours in the Fitness Center as he continues his undergraduate work. He is fully self-supporting and exhibits an extremely positive attitude and approach to everyone he encounters in the Fitness Center and all of the tasks required of him.
I began using the Fitness Center just over a year ago, a first for me (and I am now in my mid-60’s). Steve’s presence is always welcoming and encouraging, no matter what age or level of fitness exhibited. Using him as personal trainer this past summer assisted me in becoming more dedicated to my own goal of strengthening and enhancing my fitness as I move into my aging years.
Never judgmental, ALWAYS positive & encouraging, no matter how often I showed up or how intensively I worked … has provided me with an environment where I feel that whatever I do is good and beneficial.
Kudos to Tina Ulrich- I am an NMC faculty member and a board member of MI Writers. On 9/17, NW Cinematic Storytellers and MI Writers hosted an all-day Screenwriting Seminar at NMC.
Numerous scholarships were given to students, community members and military veterans.
Tina created a multi-page bibliography of the Osterlin writing/film collection (which was put in registrant packets)and created a specific display table in the library of some of those resources. There was even a large sign welcoming MI Writers! The registrants; which included our students, community members and folks from as far away as Chicago were delighted by Tina’s efforts. One registrant from Ann Arbor told me “How thoughtful and helpful your library staff is! It’s these little touches that are both welcoming and say everything about a place.”
Kudos to Scott Goethals- I interview a lot of people who have been through NMC’s IT program. Every single person raves about what an outstanding instructor Scott Goethals is. His courses are tough, so I think that says a lot. He earns their trust and invests in their growth. These former students say all their instructors were good, but Scott was GREAT. The graduates come out of that program very well prepared for a career in computer network administration and technical support. It takes someone willing to go “above and beyond” to stay current with an IT curriculum. Lastly, his collaboration with our company, both on curriculum and placement of qualified candidates, has been invaluable. Kudos to Scott!
Kudos to all of those involved in planning the College-Wide Picnic on August 19! The event was an outstanding success thanks to the enthusiastic support from the following people and departments:
– Roy Bartle, Robert Scott, & the Sodexo catering staff
– Paul Perry, Linda Glaesmer & the Facilities staff
– Kyle Morrison, Educational Media Technologies
Kudos to Sam Foster, Steve Dix, Dan Wasson, Zeb McCauley, Jeff Send, & others that helped from facilities- The dental assistant department recently acquired new digital x-ray equipment & everyone that was mentioned helped to facilitate the steps needed prior to installation & helped during the install.
Thank you for all you do!!!
Kudos to NMC Communications instructor, Teresa Scollon, related to the September 16 Record Eagle article: Reinvented program takes shape at TBAISD Career Tech Center. Teresa is co-leader of a writing program Front Street Writers, a course that teaches writing as a craft and leads students through several writing styles. Her students will gain the opportunity to meet and learn from working writers.
Kudos to Laura Schmidt- Congratulations to Laura Schmidt for her nomination to the OADN (Organization of Associate Degree Nursing)Board of Directors.
