Kudos to Hollianne McHugh! Hollianne McHugh’s DD 101 and MFG 110 students did presentations on their final projects. The student’s creativity, attention to detail and overall knowledge was very impressive. A few of these projects will be shared at the NMC ELI Learning Symposium in May. Hollianne’s commitment to learning and connection to her students is evident through their interactions and high level of work completed. Keep up the awesome work!
Kudos to Sally Smarsty and the Student Success team! Hats off to the Student Success Coaching and Testing Center team for an incredible effort to help our students finish their semester strong! During the week of finals, Sally Smarsty led coaches as they planned a series of stress busting opportunities for our students while the Testing Center team provided excellent customer service and a caring environment for our stressed-out students. From chair massages, to abundant snacks and a pop-up pancake meal, to encouraging words, congratulations, and an attitude of handling students with care, these teams knocked it out of the park! There’s doing your job, and then there’s doing your job with excellence—Sally and her teams have exemplified excellence.
Kudos to the Holiday Party Committee! Brittany Hanbury, Erika Cotner, Carly McCall, Esther Nance, Nancy Durecki, Emily Crull, Lisa Sheppley, and Weston Babcock. Thank you to this creative committee for planning such a special holiday party for NMC employees and retirees. Every detail was thoughtfully considered! Thank you for your work and caring on this spectacular event!
Kudos to the Hagerty Center staff! Every member of the Hagerty Center staff does such a fantastic job of ensuring every event runs smoothly. Their attention to the little details and behind the scenes work is so greatly appreciated! From the planning process, food, serving, bussing, bartending, and saving the day when something doesn’t go according to plan—thank you for it all!
Kudos to the Testing Center staff for successfully proctoring roughly 550 tests during the final exams. Not only do our proctors maintain test integrity, they also provide an atmosphere that empowers our students to be able to give their best testing performance. Their professionalism and reassuring smiles set our students up for success!

Kudos to Katie Sommer-Ford! Katie is a great boss, understanding her employees’ needs, and schedules. and investing in us as humans.
Kudos to Rick Mathis & Ryan Deering! Under the growing portfolio of Workforce & Professional Development training opportunities, NMC Extended Education, and the Technical Division collaborated to provide Welding Fundamentals in the fall 2022 term. Rick Mathis and Ryan Deering instructed the class of 8 students who all received their certificates of completion. Three of these students took the opportunity to continue with NMC on the credit side, thus the non credit class was a successful onramp for these students looking to continue honing their skills and knowledge. Thank you Rick and Ryan for inspiring these students to not only successfully complete the course but to continue their learning on the credit side.
