Please inform students working on and seeking help on their research and writing assignments that Osterlin Library will be open Tuesday, Oct. 8, from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. (its regular Tuesday business hours), despite the college being closed for the NMC October Conference.
Because Scholars Hall will be closed Oct. 8, the Writing & Reading Center (WRC) will offer students walk-in appointments with WRC staff in the Osterlin Library reference section during the WRC’s regular Tuesday business hours (9 a.m. to 8 p.m.).
The The Traverse City Parking Patrol will begin issuing citations for parking violations at NMC on Monday, September 9. All NMC students and employees must have their 2019-2020 permits displayed by that date.
The Traverse City Police Department has provided the following information on how to avoid parking tickets on campus by properly displaying your parking permit:
If you do get a ticket, payment can be made at the red drop-off payment box at the east end of the Cedar lot in front of the Health & Science Building on main campus. You can also mail the fine in to the city, or pay at the parking services office in the public parking garage at 303 E. State St. Payment information is also on each ticket.
If you have any questions about parking enforcement on campus, please call Campus Safety & Security at (231) 995-1111.

He oversaw the recently accredited University Galleries & Collections, which serves as a hub for undergraduate teaching and research. Craig also regularly taught independent studies and capstone courses, introductory museum workshops, and reading topics in the program’s museum studies minor.
The NMC search committee highlighted Craig’s understanding of the higher education landscape, passion for the mission of museums and desire for interconnected learning and building bridges as some of his strengths.
Craig holds a master’s degree in History and Museum Studies from the University of Missouri and a bachelor’s degree from Beloit College. He is an active board member of the Association of Academic Museums & Galleries, and also serves as a grant reviewer for the Institute of Museum & Library Services and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

NMC’s College for Kids classes begin June 17 and continue all summer, and you play a vital role in welcoming these young Hawk Owls to our Campuses! If you encounter youngsters and their families, please extend a warm smile and hello; for many, it will be their first experience with NMC. If you have questions, contact Extended Educational Services (EES) at 995-1700 or ees@nmc.edu — we are happy to help!
To my NMC Colleagues and Friends:
Thank you to those of you who were able to attend the exhibition opening and my retirement event on June 8th.
A very heart felt thank you to President Tim Nelson for his kind remarks and the Resolution of Appreciation naming me Founding Executive Director Emeritus of the Dennos Museum Center. I hope that I may use that title to further the work of the Museum as I travel the world connecting opportunities for the Museum as my successor may wish to pursue.
It has been a privilege and an honor to have been invited to assist with the design and building of the Dennos over two phases and to give it life as a major cultural facility for the region and the state with an international reputation.
I wish my successor much success and will be there to offer support as needed and requested.
Marcia and I plan to remain in Traverse City for the foreseeable future.
Thanks
Gene
Elaine Beardslee, a long-time resident of Traverse City, and a librarian here at NMC passed away on May 24, 2019. Elaine was a treasured part of the NMC community from our founding in 1951 to present. She and her husband, Walter, were named NMC Fellows in 2006. Her dedication to NMC, warmth, intelligence and generosity will be missed by many members of our community. Attached is a photo from her early teaching days at NMC, before she became a librarian here. The second photo is when she received the Fellows Award.
A memorial service in Traverse City will be held at a later date and we will inform you of specifics when known.
Timothy J. Nelson, President
College for Kids summer classes are filling fast. View the available classes for ages 3 to 17 HERE then call Extended Education at 995-1700 to enroll; employee tuition waivers apply. One-week enrichment classes begin June 17 and continue all summer. Details at nmc.edu/kids.
The Business Office and HR are collaborating with IT to implement a new payroll and HR solution for the College called ADP Workforce Now. The conversion will take place later this summer and impacts all employees. ADP replaces Banner Self-Service’s platform for viewing info such as pay history, leave balances, tax forms, and other personal information. It will also change the way we enter and approve hours worked, and how we request and approve time off. More information on the platform and training will be provided at a later date.
Celebrating her 30+ year career at NMC, Sue served the college over the years in the Health Occupations Office, the Deans Office, the Vice President’s Office and the Business Academic Area. Join us in seeing her off on life’s next adventure!
