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.
Kudos to Jim Bensley, Brady Corcoran, Caroline Schaefer-Hills, Tony Sauerbrey, Brandon Everest, Kristy McDonald, Kamsang Riddell, Rick Mathis! Thank you to those who presented or had their class present at the 2nd Annual NMC ELI Learning Symposium: Jim Bensley (Study Abroad Student Panel), Brady Corcoran (Audio Tech), Caroline Schaefer-Hills (Visual Communications & Van Gogh Exhibit), Tony Sauerbrey (UAS Drones), Brandon Everest (SOC 210 Modern Social Problems), Kristy McDonald (BUS 231 Big Little Hero Race), Rick Mathis (Independant Welding Students), and Kamsang Riddell (NMC Motorsports Club). 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! Thank you to our presenters for their time and support during the Learning Symposium Reflective Table Talks session. Hollianne McHugh brought her manufacturing students to share their final presentations, Carolyn Andrews shared the HBA Build a Better Homes series, Brady Corcoran shared video and information about the Audio Tech program, Lisa Baldyga shared information about Jobs for Michigan Graduates, Ali Thornton presented info from SCARy cyber security, and Sally Smarsty’s Student Ambassadors shared pictures and details about events they put on this past year. 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.

Kudos to Joan Sodini! Joan has been awesome at reimagining our orientation signage and branding! She created a great experience for our new students and elevated orientation to a higher level.

Kudos to the Maritime team! It was wonderful to be able to tour the ship and see up close the hands-on opportunities we offer our students in the industry. It was clear that a lot of work went into the day to ensure it was a safe, fun experience for our community. So many smiling faces willing to answer questions and show off NMC awesome programs. Fabulous job!

Kudos to Bridget Sova! Bridget has stepped in this year to coordinate the Blair Elementary Mentoring program and planned an amazing end-of-year campus tour for the 5th graders. The students visited three campuses and were introduced to 10 of NMC’s programs throughout their visit. These students may very well be first generation students that before this program, never saw college as an option. Bridget showed them the possibilities in Health Care, Automotive, Marine Tech, Culinary and much more! The amount of coordination across campus it took, along with patience and creative thinking was impressive. We are so lucky to have Bridget on our team.
Kudos to Krissy Steinebach, Lindsey Lipke and Emilee Bruner! I would like to take a moment to thank and recognize Krissy, Lindsey (both from the Business Office) and Emilee (from Auxiliary Services) for graciously and expeditiously getting check payments out to new vendors for the Big Little Hero Race this Saturday. These three individuals had different pieces of the process to complete by collaborating and communicating (across campus) with each other to get the entire process done on a very tight timeline. Lindsey had to approve the new vendors, Emilee had to get them set up in Banner and Krissy had to process the checks. They worked together as a “well oiled machine” and accomplished this task in record time. Thank you all for your hard work (day-in and day0out)! It is appreciated beyond words!

Kudos to Eric Carlson! Eric was instrumental in producing the Coffee Chats for EES these last two semesters. He thrived in coordinating, managing, and producing weekly shows without much experience in event production. He was fearless and ambitious in turning out quality content. His support for EES and dedication to NMC’s continued excellence is what the college needs from its talent. Thank you, sir!

Kudos to EES student workers Rachel Bonesteel and Jennifer Yaple. They have gone above and beyond with their creativity, initiative and positive attitudes in their work on the EES team the past two terms. Along with numerous tasks and creative projects, Rachel took on creating College for Kids coloring books for commencement — be on the lookout for them! She also created an EES catalog wall — printed and framed many of our past catalogs — she even invited the cover models to come in and sign their pictures! Stop into the University Center to check it out. Jennifer, along with many other projects and tasks, took on redesigning our nmc.edu/kids landing page. This was a huge undertaking, working first in the staging site, writing code, etc. It looks great, be sure to check it out. Thank you Rachel and Jennifer.
