Success story: Real results shown in new Community Report
November 6, 2024
At Northwestern Michigan College, we’re proud to be a partner in building a stronger, more vibrant community. In a new publication arriving in Grand Traverse County mailboxes next week – our inaugural Community Report – we demonstrate how NMC is improving lives right here, from offering high-quality education and workforce training to supporting local innovation and leadership.
This report shares real stories of student success and community impact, showing how NMC is dedicated to making Grand Traverse County a better place to live, work, and grow. Whether you’re a local resident, business owner, partner or student, you’ll see how NMC is helping shape a brighter future for all of us. For example:
- A nursing pipeline of 160 students plus a partnership with Munson that means graduates can go straight from classroom to patient bedside.
- Six new Grand Traverse County sheriff’s deputies in the last 15 months, thanks to accelerated, high-quality law enforcement training, strengthening community safety
- A first-of-its kind study that identified microplastics in the Boardman River. NMC’s data will contribute to better decisions about how to manage the impact on this major feeder of Grand Traverse Bay.
- Ways you can explore, discover and connect locally and globally, from listening or streaming WNMC radio to attending an International Affairs Forum lecture at the Dennos Museum
The report will be mailed to Grand Traverse County residents and businesses mid-November. Read the online version here. Request a copy here.
