Thanks to all who are working to ensure that no student is hungry. That includes the organizers of NMC’s stationary food pantry in Osterlin, which has served students since 2017; the revived mobile food pantry which will distribute from 3-5 p.m. today in the Maple parking lot; and Business 231 students who will distribute 165 holiday meals when their 11th annual Thanks-for-Giving drive culminates tomorrow.

Congratulations to NMC’s Marine Technology program for the shoutout it received from Rear Adm.

Congratulations to the first 12 graduates of a new, fast-track bachelor’s of science in nursing program offered as a partnership between NMC and Davenport University! A pinning ceremony will be held tonight, August 19, to honor the graduates, 11 of whom are also NMC alumni. They are among the first in Michigan to graduate and find employment since 2022 legislation that established a BSN path for community colleges.

NMC would like to recognize the faculty and staff who helped coordinate the first session of this summer’s College Edge program, which wrapped up last Friday as well as the cohorts who completed the program.
The first edition in summer 2023 was a resounding success, with 97 percent of students persisting from fall 2023 to spring 2024 semesters, vs. 64.7 percent among the general population. Students truly do gain an edge by participating. Two more sessions begin next week.
