Kudos to Hollie DeWalt: Hollie went above and beyond in helping me navigate a difficult situation during the process of retirement from the college. I really appreciated having a trustworthy, dependable employee advocate to go to. Thank you Hollie!
Kudos to Dave Weaver: Dave and the” IT Team” have been a valuable and consistent resource for technology assistance throughout my time here at Northwestern Michigan College. I really appreciated the quick and thorough answers offered, and the willingness to work with the Macintosh environment.
Kudos to The Educational Technology Team: they have been quick to respond to the changing needs of faculty for as long as I have been at Northwestern Michigan College. From the time when Bob Chauvin led the department, with many of the same techs that work with Kyle Morrison, I have always been impressed with the awesome support from this department. Thank you, folks!
Kudos to Fred Cook: Fred Cook has been an awesome team player and quality individual as part of the Great Lakes campus team. Kind, considerate, and willing to help. I appreciate Fred’s enthusiasm and hard work, as is evident in the appearance of the GL campus. I really appreciated the number of times he opened my office door when I inadvertently locked my keys inside. Thanks Fred! And thank you for always having a kind or encouraging word.

Kudos to Glenn Wolff: This summer, several students have shared with us examples of Glenn going above and beyond to help them as a faculty advisor and we wanted to take a moment to say Thank You! Whether it is still meeting with a student even if they do not want to continue with an art major or walking them through completing orientation, Glenn is a great example of going above and beyond as a faculty advisor and we appreciate the little things he does to support us and our students!

Kudos to Dave Weaver: Thank you, Dave, for assisting in the University Center computer lab for the College for Kids: Battle Royale: Make Your First Fortnite Style Video Game (Grades 3-5) classes. We had 32 young Hawk Owls in these classes this week. Dave went above and beyond by helping to “fix the bugs” and keep things running smoothly for our students and instructor.
Kudos to Jan Root, Cathy Brown, Brian VanSipe, Nancy Durecki, Judy Chu, Logan Deater and Andrea Grabowski: Writing & Reading Center (WRC) Summer 2022 staff—Logan Deater, Andrea Grabowski and myself (Carrie) recently undertook a major overhaul of the physical WRC space, creating a more accessible and inviting Center for students and employees alike to enjoy. The revamp of the WRC would not have been possible without the kind assistance of Jan Root, Cathy Brown, Brian VanSipe, Nancy Durecki and Judy Chu. Brian took the desk apart, making sure the carpet and area that once housed the desk were spotless after the desk’s removal, while Jan, Cathy and Nancy helped facilitate work orders and the logistics regarding removing/replacing office furniture. Extra special thanks to Judy, our WRC Director, for embracing the drastic changes, which Logan, Andrea and I began on a whim without first seeking approval. The Writing & Reading Center has consistently played an integral role in the development of confident writers, and the new space will continue to foster the learning and growth necessary for students to further hone their writing skills. Thank you to Jan, Cathy, Brian and Nancy for helping all of us at the WRC to create what will hopefully be an even more enriching environment for students. And thank you to Logan and Andrea for your enthusiasm in developing and implementing this project with me. NMC is lucky to have you all—you put the “community” in community college.
Kudos to Dave Gates, Steve Dix and Chris Little: Dave, Steve and Chris played vital roles in the reorganization/revamping of the Writing & Reading Center’s (WRC) physical space. Our telephone and computers found new homes within Scholars Hall 221, requiring new network connections and cords. Dave, Steve and Chris took care of the necessary work in very quick fashion, and were great fun to talk to while they were at the WRC. Thank you all for your dedication to creating spaces which allow for the best learning experience for each of our students. NMC is so lucky to have people like Dave, Steve and Chris!

Kudos to Kyle Morrison: We are so lucky to have Kyle at NMC! After the craziness of a recent new student orientation, some of our supplies went missing and after two weeks of searching, were nowhere to be found. After accepting that they probably were gone for good, Kyle was determined to help us find them, and he did! Thank you for always taking the extra step (or bike ride) to help another team in need Kyle.
