Hanggai is one of the outstanding international touring bands from China. This group is a Beijing-based group of musicians who left the city’s punk rock clubs to rediscover their roots in inner Mongolia. They now perform Mongolian folk music with traditional and Western instruments and still can be heard in those Beijing clubs playing this music for enthusiastic young audiences.

Emily Magner worked tirelessly this summer coordinating orientation for new students. Her welcoming and supportive attitude with incoming students puts them at ease, and I observed her doing this time and time again for countless students.
At opening conference Tim Nelson told about Emily taking care of a perspective student’s dog and watching his 11-year old son so that he could attend orientation. This gesture allowed this student to register for classes and begin his educational journey here at NMC. Emily is passionate about new students getting their needs met when first arriving on campus, and she works hard to instill those values in her student workers, and I know it spills over to others who are assisting our students.
I also saw Emily work very hard over the summer planning Pine Palooza, and want to thank her for such a successful and professional event that benefited our students and makes us all proud of our college and its resources.

Yale professor Dr. Ellen Lust will present “The Arab People Are Speaking—But What Are They Really Saying?” Sept. 20, the first lecture in the 2012-13 International Affairs Forum lecture series at Milliken Auditorium.
A first-hand observer of the ongoing upheaval in the Muslim world, Lust will decipher how the explosion of political opposition in Libya, Syria, Egypt and Yemen signals a sea change in the Middle East. The issue is whether the U.S. can connect with the new Arab “street” without jeopardizing longstanding ties to entrenched but powerful regimes.
The eight-part IAF series brings diplomats, policy makers, journalists and others from all over the globe to Milliken Auditorium. All programs begin with a reception in the Sculpture Court of the Dennos Museum Center at 5:15 p.m. and are followed at 6 p.m. by the lecture and a discussion period in Milliken Auditorium.
