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:
- Place your permit in the bottom left-hand corner of your windshield.
- Place your permit right side up. An upside-down permit will be considered invalid.
- Hang tags must be on the rear view mirror.
- Be sure that the expiration date on your permit can be seen from the outside of your vehicle. (Some vehicles have a tint on the edges of their windshield, so be sure your permit is not behind a tint, as it will make it difficult to see from the outside.) When it doubt, get out of your vehicle and be sure you can see the entire permit from the outside.
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.

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.

My family and I would like to thank NMC for the beautiful plant given to us for my mom’s funeral. For around 20 years, she was a member of the Grand Traverse Chorale, along with being an accompanist for the NMC Children’s Choir for over 10 years. She loved music and especially loved working with children and watching them grow in confidence and skill as they performed in various concerts. NMC and EES is a great place for nurturing the young as well as offering options for adults to either learn something new or continue with a talent they’ve enjoyed for years. Thank you NMC for also being an understanding place when the situation of being a family caregiver arises. You made these last 6 years possible for myself and my mom. Thank you.
