Kudos to Doug Sieffert. Doug took time away from his primary responsibilities to work with Media Services on a time-sensitive project. The right place at the right time, Thank you Doug!

Kudos to Katie Sommer-Ford. Kudos on Katie’s planning and pre-work on the Career Fair coming up in March. A lot of work goes on behind the scenes to offer the opportunity for our students and local employers to meet. Great job, Katie!

Kudos to Elizabeth Sonnabend, Lisa Molmen, Ben Post and Ali Thornton. Extended Education & Training supports academic departments by filling nearly 300 seats with community member enrollments each year. This is no easy feat! One of the biggest challenges threads across four departments and involves Moodle. The heroes behind this are Elizabeth Sonnabend, Lisa Moleman, Ben Post, Ali Thornton and certainly a few others who step in as needed. This past term has gone the smoothest; this team is improving the Moodle integration each time! Thank you, “Team Joint Offering Moodle Magic!”

Kudos to Mark West. Thank you, Mark, for always going the extra step! Mark created an email list for a specific set of employees and saved it so I could easily access it! Although that might sound easy, it lifted a barrier for me to carry out communication effectively. I appreciate your attention to detail and always following through. NMC is lucky to have you, Mark!

Kudos to Beckie Wooters. Congratulations to Beckie Wooters and her staff for the wonderful work they are doing in the Dental Assistant Program and for all of her students passing both the clinical and written portions of the Michigan’s Registered Dental Assistant examination. That is awesome!

Kudos to Paul Kolak. Thanks to Paul Kolak for organizing the Mobile Food Pantry here at NMC through Feeding America. Paul organizes volunteers and the food delivery on-site. Many families have been served thanks to his leadership and the volunteers who help distribute the food each month.

Kudos to Brittany Hanbury, Hollie DeWalt, Carly McCall, Esther Nance, Lil Anderson, Sarah Montgomery-Richards, Lynne Moritz, and Todd Haines. The whole holiday party planning committee did a wonderful job putting on a fabulous party. Everyone on the committee brought a level of passion for creating a fun and inclusive event for the college to enjoy. Several additions aimed at increasing inclusion and belongingness such as gingerbread team building, and the get-to-know-you bingo game leading. With attendance increasing by 25% this year, it’s clear that their hard work paid off.

Kudos to  Lil Anderson and Lindsey Bradeen. Lil and Lindsey were instrumental in the success of our Holiday Party. I had checked the wrong box and we almost didn’t have a projector and laptop for the party. They quickly and gracefully resolved the issue while also executing the rest of their event duties wonderfully. Thank you to them and the full Hagerty team for their fabulous event planning and event execution work.

Kudos to Employees at the Hagerty Center. The Hagerty Center employees always do a great job putting on events and the Holiday Party was no exception. The food was delicious, tables were cleared, the bar service was prompt, and overall they did a fabulous job. Thanks for always making our events great.
