Kudos to Jim Bensley and Marina Call! Jim Bensley and Marina Call hosted a Student Connect – International Tea in Osterlin that was very well attended.

Here are some troubleshooting tips and an FAQ to help you complete your compliance training the first time.
Question: I can’t return to my training after opening the Michigan or Federal laws and have to start over. How do I get through the Title IX training?
Answer: When you open and review the Michigan or Federal laws, these will open in a separate window. Don’t close the window! Click the browser icon on the status bar at the bottom of your screen to see thumbnails of all open windows. Click the open training window and return to the training. This will prevent you from restarting your training.
Question: I can’t see the Michigan or Federal laws when I click the link(s). Why?
Answer 1: Select Michigan for your state. “Michigan” will appear on the top right “…Laws” on the right. Click on Michigan and the laws should appear in a separate window. When finished, click on your browser icon and return to the training window to continue the module. (Didn’t resolve the issue? Try A2 below.)
Answer 2: Check your address bar at the top of the screen to ensure a pop-up blocker isn’t preventing content to appear. To resolve this:
- Click on the top right to allow the pop-ups/ disable the popup blocker for this training. (or)
- Go into your settings and allow pop-ups for this training. (Remember to change this back after the training based on your security preference.).
Other Troubleshooting Tips:
If you are accessing training from a desktop or laptop computer:
-
- Update and restart your browser. If you have any pending updates, they may need to be completed to move forward with training.
- Clear your browser’s cookies and cache, which is typically located under your browser’s history settings.
- It is possible that device-specific browser extensions and/or pop-up blockers may be interfering with your training. Try accessing the training from another browser to rule out this possibility.
If you are accessing training from a mobile device:
-
- Our system is compatible with many mobile devices; however, some users may have personal configurations that prevent certain courses from loading. Additionally, some custom and policy courses are best displayed on a computer. If you are experiencing difficulty loading our training on a personal device, try accessing the courses through a laptop or desktop computer.
If these troubleshooting tips do not correct the issue, please share the following details:
-
- Which browser and version are you experiencing this issue on?
- Screenshot and description of where the user is stuck or having difficulty.
- Full course title and section of the issue.
- The number of users reporting these issues (an estimate is fine). Example users are extremely helpful as well!
- Device(s) experiencing this issue (desktop, laptop, mobile device).
Feel free to contact Vector Solutions Support for immediate assistance at: 1(800)434-0154 (ext. 3) from 8 a.m.-6 p.m. or by entering a ticket directly with Vector Support. You may also email hr@nmc.edu or enter a HelpDesk ticket under “SilkRoad”.

If there were ever an emergency on our campus related to safety, everyone who signed up for Code Red would be sent an immediate text to the phone number we have on file (i.e. shelter in place instructions). While the alert would also be sent to your email address, a text is the quickest way to get crucial information when every minute counts.
You may have signed up for text alerts when you were first hired, but please verify the information is still correct. Please access the text opt-in link and double check to see if your current cell phone number is accurate in our system.
If you have any questions about updating your information in self-service, please contact the NMC Technology Help Desk at (231) 995-3020.

Kudos to Ben Post, Dan Gentry, Paul Martin and Lisa Molmen! The Information Technology Services, Systems and LAN Management, and Educational Technology teams have worked together to develop the Moodle integration with Lumens. This was a large undertaking that has been in the works for about a year. The integration to Moodle allows Extended Education students the same access to the online learning classrooms in Moodle that credit students have. This enhances the delivery of joint offerings (NMC credit classes offered through Extended Education without the credit or need for the community member to apply to the college). A huge thank you to Ben Post, Dan Gentry, Paul Martin and Lisa Molmen!
Kudos to Sally Smarsty! Thank you to Sally, her team, and the students who coordinated the Gala to Give. Extended Education is honored and humbled by the generosity of these people and the community members who attended. They raised $5,000 in College for Kids scholarships that will impact many families this summer, making fun, educational, summer learning experiences available to more students who face financial challenges. A sincere and heartfelt thank you!
Kudos to Shelly Grant, Joy Goodchild and Elizabeth Sonnabend! Shelly Grant and Joy Goodchild led the development of a database query that pulls the program data necessary to meet the Pure Michigan Talent Connect requirements. The Michigan Training Connect (MiTC) is the state’s official eligible training provider list and this database will allow NMC to quickly add programs. Entry on this page allows Michigan Works! and other state agencies to pay for training at NMC. This provides the workforce development training necessary for the region’s economy. Without these listings, NMC would NOT be listed as a provider, reducing our visibility to the community. Currently listed programs include Aviation, Engineering, Welding, Nursing, eldercare, heavy equipment and many more. Elizabeth Sonnabend played two pivotal roles. She drove this action through the strategic plan. More importantly, she has added and troubleshot programs, has served as a liaison with the State of Michigan/Michigan Works! and has also showed others how to use the system. This was a true team effort to provide the data collection necessary to implement these new programs and maintain existing ones. Michigan Works! has mentioned NMC’s efforts many times as our programs help drive their success.

Kudos to the EES Team! Extended Education kicked off registration for Winter/Spring 2023 Lifelong & Professional learning classes on Dec. 7th. Thus far EES has almost 700 individual students enrolled in Winter/Spring 2023 classes. About half of those registrations are brand new students to EES, and half are returning students. These students in total are registered in 177 individual classes. Thanks to Jackie Schenk and the team for taking so many registrations over the phone. We’re increasing the number of students who are enrolling online as well. Kudos to Shannah Vergote for all of the fantastic marketing, enews, Inside Edit, social media, and more! And thanks to our programmers, Christa Abdul-Karim, Kristy Jackson, and Elizabeth Sonnabend for putting together such a variety of high level and high interest classes.

Kudos to Kristi Hallett! Kristi Hallett is a campus ROCKSTAR. With many requests coming her way, she is quick to respond and always does so with a positive attitude. You can see her smile through her emails! We are never afraid to contact Kristi to get something done or to check to see if something went awry—she is level headed and always there to help! We’re so appreciative of her attitude and all she does to make sure schedules and campus spaces come together with no huge traffic jams! Thank you, Kristi, for the amazing work that you do and for always being willing to work with us when we have last minute requests for our events on campus. We appreciate you!
Kudos to Todd Haines & Justin Guillard! Thanks for all of the help with the dental remodel and getting us back up and running!
Kudos to Landon DeHeer & Taylor Hall! We are so grateful to have Landon and Taylor as a part of our ambassador team. For our last new student orientation, we found ourselves short-staffed in the days leading up. Taylor and Landon jumped in to lend us a hand in prepping materials for new students. They already do so much to create a community of belonging at NMC, and it extended to our new students as well. Thank you for everything you do to make NMC a great place!
