Kudos to Marcus Bennett! Thank you Dr. Bennett for bringing in Ken James from MCC to talk about DEI issues at the community college level and adding more strategies for ways we can support our students.
Kudos to Lisa Molmen! Lisa has been so instrumental in getting all of our new employees set up during the August hiring craze. She is quicker than the flash to get files pushed through so our employees have needed access and is always there to help when things don’t work the way we want them to. Thank you, Lisa, for helping us make it work—we couldn’t do it without you!
Kudos to Alison Thornton, Michelle Beckett, Elliot Richards, and Ricky Hagberg! The fabulous Technology Help Desk team is always there to make sure our new hires have everything set up that they need to be successful. They are quick to help and always with patience and a smile. Thank you all!
Kudos to Elizabeth Sonnabend! Elizabeth Sonnabend continues to grow Workforce Training opportunities for our community by creating local partnerships. These partnerships not only ensure high quality learning, but also provide hands-on, real experiential learning as part of the curriculum, which lead to a living wage career pathway. Thanks to Elizabeth, NMC Extended Education & Training’s online Medical Billing Specialist program will be implemented in Thirlby Clinic’s new Medical Billing Apprenticeship Program. The agreement was signed at the Apprenticeship Launch Network’s conference at Great Wolf Lodge and is available for registration through the MITC (Michigan Talent Connect) website: mitalent.org/mitc. Thank you, Elizabeth, for ensuring that NMC Extended Education & Training’s programs lead to careers that are both needed in our area, and provide sustainable living wages.
Kudos to Amy Klei! We have had several changes in the Michigan Reconnect and Futures for Frontliners Scholarship programs. We are also implementing the Michigan Achievement Scholarship for 2023 graduating seniors. These programs have required numerous IT programming changes. Amy has done an amazing job in providing professional support and timeliness and crafting these changes to the benefit of the Financial Aid Department and ultimately our students.
Kudos to Lisa Thomas and Amanda Clark! Thank you for organizing Pine Palooza 2023! The students and staff were engaged in what NMC has to offer. It was a great way to start off the academic year.
Kudos to Erika Cotner! GLMA has been advertising for an assistant engineer for the training ship for greater than one year. Over this period of time Erika continuously revised the job description, researched additional avenues for advertising the position and worked with GLMA to find a candidate. Additionally, she was incredibly flexible with facilitating the ability for search team members to complete interviews while they were sailing on the training ship.
Kudos to our Student Success coaches! Once again, the Student Success coaches here at NMC provided a great opportunity for incoming students and returning students to join in various Welcome Week activities. Thank you for making our students feel a sense of community and belonging here at NMC. Go Hawk Owls!

Kudos to Kirk Waterstripe! Kirk was a huge help to Shannon McCann and Annie Callahan, two of our very popular College for Kids instructors (All Aboard the Hogwarts Express and STEM classes). Kudos to Kirk Waterstripe for going above and beyond to assist the College for Kids instructors in the Health and Science Building this summer (showcasing our chemistry labs to the community!). Thank you for being a special friend to Hogwarts and to our super science-y Hawk Owls!
Kudos to Dave Weaver! Thank you to Dave Weaver for supplying keyboards from our NMC e-waste, helping us recycle and learn! The College for Kids students greatly enjoyed the experience of taking them apart and learning how real keyboards work.

Kudos to Lisa Boike! Lisa was instrumental in working with the Business Office to once again reformat banking files for our reconciliation processes. She worked tirelessly and so patiently with us and navigated complicated information in order to revamp the files so they would work correctly with our upload process. We can’t thank you enough, Lisa for all your hard work and patience to help us get the accurate information necessary to complete our reconciliations! Thank you!
Kudos to Todd Haines! Todd responded to a temperature alarm alert for one of Great Lakes Culinary Institute walk-in coolers received by NMC security on late Saturday evening, June 24. It was above a safe temperature as the compressor had failed. Todd moved all of our perishable food items from that cooler into a working cooler. On Monday I learned that Hagerty Center’s walk-in cooler compressor also failed which sent another alarm alert to security once again. Todd responded and again moved all their perishable food items from the GL Campus 1st floor to GLCI in the 2nd floor. What a workout!!!! Thanks, Todd, for saving GLCI/NMC a lot of money in food and work; the students would have had to do to remake all the items that could have been lost due to temperature abuse.
Kudos to Kristi Hallett! Kristi supports Extended Education, it’s 200+ instructors, it’s 500+ classes requiring NMC classrooms and it’s 5,500 seats sold to our community of learners by scheduling all of EES’s in-person classes. Kristi just completed scheduling all of the fall 2023 EES classes that take place on an NMC campus. She helps us find the right space for each class, and the EES team greatly appreciates her communication and support of our programming.
Kudos to Tait Ricks! Thank you to Tait, our new Americorps Success Coach, for helping us expand the Professional Clothing Closet in the Osterlin Building after the donation drive at the Pride Carnival. This involved a lot of work and Tait volunteered to help and ran with the project. We appreciate your efforts to ensure the closet is ready with more options for the fall semester!
Kudos to Sarah Montgomery-Richards, Amber Marsh and Becca Richardson! Sarah, Amber & Becca finished the first College Edge session this past week and it was a huge success! Every student that started the 5-week program made it through the entire session to earn a $1,000 NMC Scholarship for fall! The trio was dedicated to helping every student be college-ready and learn the skills necessary to be successful this fall. They introduced them to resources and provided wrap around services to ensure the student felt a warm welcome and sense of belonging! These women are amazing leaders and great mentors for these students! They start a new session with over double the students on July 10. Thank you for all of your hard work and commitment to helping our students succeed!
Kudos to Tom Auch! Tom has dedicated over 20 years to the Student Success Center and also teaches as an adjunct when needed. His flexibility to work evening and weekend hours provides our students, as well as new and prospective students taking placement, more convenient and sometimes necessary testing times. Tom brings a positive, upbeat attitude every day he is here and goes above and beyond for any student needing extra help. His commitment to NMC and our students is hard to match. We are so grateful he is on our team!
Kudos to Lisa Cooper, Jason Slade, Nicole Fewins, Katie Sommer-Ford, Alyssa Irani, Rorie Kawula and the EES Team! Thank you to NMC employees who helped greet our youngest Hawk Owls on campus for College for Kids programming the first three weeks of summer! Thank you for your time and warm welcome to our students and their families.
Kudos to Dave Weaver! Thank you to Dave Weaver for supplying keyboards from our NMC e-waste, helping us recycle and learn! The College for Kids students greatly enjoyed the experience of taking them apart and learning how real keyboards work.

Kudos to Katy Grimmer, Randi Nelson & Sarah Sergent from Learning Services: We have the best students working in our department already, but we were so ecstatic to see that Katy, Randi and Sarah made the Dean’s List this spring!! They exemplify what it means to be a hard working hawk owl and we are lucky to have them.
Kudos to Christa Abdul-Karim: Christa represented EES College for Kids at the Price Carnival event last weekend. Christa supported NMC Extended Education by giving away over 200 prizes, increasing our enews list, spending time with attendees at the event, and all around spreading the good word of EES. Volunteering during a precious Saturday in June demonstrates Christa’s dedication to our programming; it is greatly valued and appreciated by her EES Team.
In addition to supporting NMC EES, her involvement in the Pride Carnival showcases her genuine support for the LGBTQ+ community, and thus, her dedication to promoting inclusivity and diversity, a strategic initiative here at NMC.
On behalf of the EES Team, I want to express our gratitude for Christa’s outstanding efforts, passion, and dedication. We are incredibly fortunate to have you as a member of our team!
Kudos to Les Eckert and GLCI Team: I am so excited that Lobdell’s is open again this summer. Their breakfast and coffee was outstanding!!! I am looking forward to going back many more times this summer for meetings or for just the great food.

Kudos to Colleen Burry! Colleen stepped up to help manage the massive undertaking that was Commencement. She was one of two new people who hadn’t been through commencement at NMC before yet needed to make it happen. Colleen ensured that every student was accounted for with all of the appropriate details. She also was tireless in her efforts to accommodate every family member that needed special assistance at the event. In addition to keeping the entire event organized, she also made her famous key lime pies for the volunteer crew! Thanks for going above and beyond, Colleen!
Kudos to Megan Holtrey and Maria Ulrich! Thank you to Megan and Maria for all of the help planning and organizing commencement—especially helping us to continue to make adjustments to the staging as RSVPs for commencement continued to roll in.

Kudos to Jessie Forgrave and Katharine Marvin! Kudos to Jessie and Katharine for exemplifying NMC’s values by giving of their time to assist in the setup for the “You Made It Possible” employee recognition celebration.

Thanks for your contributions that made this event even more meaningful for all who attended. We appreciate you!
Kudos to Nicole Wenstrup! We are so grateful for all the extra efforts Nicole puts into her role as a test proctor.

We appreciate your work throughout the event and your collaboration to make this a memorable day for award recipients and retirees!

Kudos to Welcome Desk Employees! The Welcome Desk in the TJNIC has been a wonderful addition to NMC. It is great to be greeted by them daily as you enter the building. They are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you for doing this much needed work!
Kudos to Fred Cook! Fred has been helping EES in the Oleson Center Kitchen with things like electrical issues and broken appliances. He fixed our dishwasher which was a life saver before a big culinary class earlier this month. Our culinary programs and the community members they bring into the college are many; having a functioning NMC teaching kitchen is vital to our EES culinary classes and the satisfaction of our community of learners. Thank you, Fred!
Kudos to Katy Grimmer, Randi Nelson & Sarah Sergent! We have the best students working in our department already, but we were so ecstatic to see that Katy, Randi and Sarah made the Dean’s List this spring!! They exemplify what it means to be a hard working Hawk Owl and we are lucky to have them.

Kudos to all of the commencement volunteers! Thank you to all of the volunteers who were a part of commencement. We would not have been able to pull everything off if it wasn’t for you! We appreciate you taking time out of your weekend to be there on such an important day for our graduates!
Kudos to Megan Holtrey and Maria Ulrich! Thank you to Megan and Maria for all of the help planning and organizing commencement – especially helping us to continue to make adjustments to the staging as the RSVPs for commencement continued to roll in. You both were a huge part in making commencement as successful as it was and we appreciate all of your help!
Kudos to Joan Sodini and PRMC! A huge shot out to Joan and the rest of PRMC. With their guidance and vision, they helped make the visuals of commencement so beautiful. We are so appreciative! It was lovely to see the NMC branding as a huge part of commencement and wonderful to see the graduates and families enjoying the venue and displays. We loved watching this vision for commencement come to life!
Kudos to Katie Sommer-Ford! While there were a lot of people who helped make commencement wonderful, Katie went above and beyond to help make the day as amazing as it was. She was always willing to pitch in on any project, she helped to answer a million questions, and she brought some pretty great ideas to the table. Katie did all of this while reimagining and planning Honor’s Convocation. She is truly a rockstar and we are so thankful for her and all of her assistance with commencement.
Kudos to Chad Schenkelberger and Esther Nance! Thanks so much to Chad and Esther for helping out CIT IT Olympics with a very last minute coffee order. I literally reached out to Chad at 5:08pm the evening before the event to see if there was any way the Hawk Owl Cafe could put together a last minute order for coffee for the next morning. The cafe is officially closed for the summer but Chad immediately responded and let me know they could get that done for us. The volunteers at IT Olympics can’t thank you enough!
Kudos to Laura Mashburn! In preparation for the hosting of EES culinary classes, Laura cleans the Oleson Center bathrooms and kitchen after the day care closes for the day. This is not an easy task, and we in EES appreciate her making the space ready for our NMC community of lifelong learners. Thank you, Laura!
Kudos to Colleen Burry and Alyssi Irani! Commencement has always been and continues to be the punctuation point of students’ academic experience. Our 2023 NMC commencement ceremonies were more than an acknowledgement of our students’ accomplishments, they were a true celebration of our graduates and the bright beginning of their next stage of life. Alyssa Irani and Colleen Burry led efforts to curate a day that truly honored our newest alumni and provided an exclamaition point to their NMC experience. From volunteer coordination to logistics, they moved through the day witih poise and leadership. Alyssa and Colleen assembled the Commencement Committee that brought forward experience from past events and new ideas. Kudos also for the strong collaboration with our dynamic PRMC team to create new banners, decorative elements, cohesive branding, and special touches that brought gravitasse to the day. Hats off to Alyssa and Colleen, and the many key players and participants including: Katie Sommer-Ford, Joan Sodini, our student speakers, flag bearer Lieutenant Watrous, and faculty and staff volunteers. Thank you Alyssa and Colleen for your tireless work!
Kudos to Tracy Welch! Thank you to Tracy for coordinating the NMC ELI Learning Symposium. The events that made up the week long symposium were outstanding! The symposium provided students, faculty and staff the opportunity to celebrate their 2022-2023 accomplishments.
Kudos to Amy Burns-Bailey and Stephen Siciliano! Thank you to Amy Burns-Bailey and Stephen Siciliano who attended almost every session at this year’s Learning Symposium. The ELI appreciates your time and support in attending student and faculty presentations.

The Experiential Learning Institute appreciates all your time and support!
Kudos to Hollianne McHugh, Carolyn Andrews, Brady Corcoran, Lisa Baldyga, Ali Thornton, and Sally Smarsty!

Their tables were interesting and provided insight to the many wonderful programs here at NMC!
Kudos to Katy Knight and the Testing Center Staff! When finals week kicked off on Monday morning, the testing center was inundated with a class of students who came all at once to take their final test. Katy Knight, John Walker, Dan Isola and Ann Isola (Proctors) were all-hands on deck, helping students to get logged in and situated quickly. They worked efficiently as a team and gave kind service to the students present. Thank you, proctors for the work that you do!
Kudos to Scott Goethals and Abbie Papcun! Both Scott and Abbie have done a great job handling a most difficult situation. By putting in the effort to help as many students as possible, both have been scheduling students for at least the CIT computer testing. Other tests have been supplied as they were scheduled prior to scheduling the testing center for temporary closure once again. Their help and efforts has been above and beyond and greatly appreciated as we decide how to continue to fund the Professional Testing Center at the Parsons-Stulen builidng.
Kudos to Shelly Grant! Shelly Grant created a practical and accessible dashboard providing critical information on student enrollment data. The EES Workforce & Professional Development team can utilize the information to submit NMC programs to the MITC (Michigan Talent Connect) website which allows potential students to access MIWorks funding such as WIOA and MILeap.
