Kudos to Grounds & Facilities: Over spring break, Learning Services did a clean out day of our storage in the basement of Osterlin. This amounted to LOTS of trash. Thank you to Grounds and Facilities for helping us dispose of 25 years of stuff, involving multiple truck loads of trash being taken away. We appreciate you!
Kudos to Brittany Hanbury and Rachel Colby: Brittany and Rachel brought the Voices student group back to life during the fall semester as a way to support, advocate for, and bring awareness to survivors of sexual assault. Throughout the last two semesters they have grown the group, requested funding for night caps (as seen on Shark Tank), held weekly meetings, planned and executed a sticker creation contest, Rachel advocated for and made happen new light poles on a dark sidewalk of campus and last night they helped run a very successful Light Up the Night event put on by Student Life. They are a group who is making a difference here on campus!

Welcome to NMC!
The following employees are celebrating an anniversary soon. Please join us in congratulating them!
Kudos to Alex Tank for successfully completing the third season of Extended Education’s Coffee Chats Series last Friday, March 18th. This pandemic inspired (virtual) series has temporarily replaced Extended Education community engagement events such as Campus Days and LIFE Lunches. Coffee Chats have been planned, researched, recorded, and conducted live via Zoom solely by Alex Tank, Communications & Events Program Officer for the International Affairs Forum, and also a Contributor for Extended Education. From the making of pencils with Faber-Castell, to sharing NMC’s Music and Audio Tech musical/sound pieces, to the brewing of coffee and beer, Alex has introduced our community to 34 unique topics and presenters by conducting comprehensive and compelling interviews with EES Coffee Chat guests. Thank you, Alex!
Kudos to Kristy Jackson: Since this January, Kristy Jackson, Extended Education Program Manager, has cultivated 137 adult and youth learning opportunities for Extended Education’s Summer 2022 term. Kristy has harnessed the new registration system, taught instructors how to utilize their instructor portals, programmed new classes with new instructors, maintained current class offerings, and has led the team in developing programming best practices within the new system. Kristy, thank you for your leadership, enthusiasm, patience, and creativity.

Kudos to Michael Anderson: Michael is very respectable when it comes to taking off his boots and changing into other shoes before entering the Fitness Center at North Hall. This has been very much appreciated, because it’s an ongoing battle with the salt and snow through the lobby and into the Fitness Center. So thank you!
