Dr. Nick Nissley (click for high-resolution version)TRAVERSE CITY — Northwestern Michigan College President Nick Nissley has been named a winner of the Paragon award for new presidents by Phi Theta Kappa, the international community college honor society.
Nissley is among 22 recipients out of 500 eligible college presidents, and one of only two in Michigan. Paragon awards are bestowed upon college presidents in the first three years of their tenure who have shown strong support of student success by recognizing academic achievement, leadership, and service among high-achieving students at their college. Recipients were nominated for the award by students on their campus. Nissley became president of NMC on Jan. 1, 2020.
In the nomination, NMC students commended Nissley for including all students, not just PTK members, in his work to instill a “possibilitarian” culture on campus, even amid the challenges of COVID-19.
“From our first in-person meeting, Dr. Nissley laid a foundation of open communication by sharing his very personal testimony with students.His inclusion of students in events, discussions, and decisions proves to us again and again, he is focused on our success. While we are thrilled with his support, similar support has been shared with other student groups. He is a champion for student success.”
Nissley and other Paragon winners will be recognized at the PTK annual convention, broadcast live from Orlando, Fla., April 8–10. NMC’s chapter, Alpha Rho Pi, will also receive a Reach award at the convention for its membership growth in 2020.
According to PTK, member students have a 91 percent student success rate, and research has shown that strong presidential leadership and support of PTK increases member success and the depth of their college experience.

Good morning NMC students,
We hope you’re having a successful semester and staying healthy. Despite the recent cold and snow, we are busy planning ahead for the summer and fall semesters at NMC and want to help you be prepared.
Based on feedback from students, the college will expand its offerings of face-to-face classes. NMC will offer some sections of developmental education courses face-to-face, in addition to hybrid and livestream formats. For the new face-to-face sections, classrooms will be equipped with plexiglass dividers so group work can also be done safely. NMC will also continue to offer select occupational courses and labs face-to-face, as we have since last summer. For all face-to-face classes students must still follow all safety protocols including wearing masks and practicing social distancing.
NMC is also exploring the use of new camera technology to offer hybrid classes in the HyFlex model. In HyFlex, a class is split into two groups that alternate between on-campus and zoom formats to reduce in-person class size.
These adjustments continue NMC’s commitment to keeping our students and employees safe, while limiting the disruption to learning as much as possible. One of the most important factors in achieving this goal is hearing from you. We recently emailed you a course format survey to better understand how you prefer to learn. The short survey is open until Sunday evening. Please take a few minutes to complete it so we can work to meet your needs. Based on your input and safety guidelines, changes may be made to the schedule. We ask that you monitor your NMC email and the schedule throughout the summer.
The summer and fall schedules are available to help you plan. Registration for summer is open, and fall registration begins March 10th. Our Academic and Career Advising Center team is ready to help you. Watch your NMC email for information about your assigned advisor and to schedule a virtual advising appointment.
Thank you to the NMC faculty and staff on the “Reimagining Committee” for their work in helping address these complex issues and thank you for remaining committed to achieving your goals. We can now see a future beyond the pandemic and we will get there together.

After investing more than 10 years in pursuit of her associate degree, the pandemic almost brought psychology student Brandee Sasser-Drone (left) to her breaking point, but federal aid distributed by NMC has kept her on track to graduate this semester and continue toward a bachelor’s degree.
The 35-year-old mother of two has twice received emergency financial assistance, in the spring of 2020 and again just this month. This second round of COVID-19 aid is part of the $22.7 billion Congress allocated to higher education in the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) passed in December 2020. NMC received $4.1 million total, of which $1 million was earmarked for direct student aid.
Sasser-Drone received $1,200 of that, one of more than 900 NMC students who received funds this month based on financial need and enrollment status. The average award was $964.
“This last little bit of money, I paid bills that have been on the back burner since summer,” she said. “We’ve been living off of one cell phone, one car. I had to let car insurance lapse. Really vital, important things that NMC has helped us get back to a secure place.”
Nursing student Shelby Hansard, 26, who also received assistance in both rounds, agreed. She too juggles parenthood of an 18-month-old daughter with work as an LPN and school.
“The funds were helpful and allowed me to buy groceries for my family this month as well as a textbook that I really needed,” Hansard said.
The pandemic upset all Sasser-Drone’s financial security, from a paycheck to child support for her 11- and 8-year-old, and added demands like supervising their virtual education at home.
“All of our usual, consistent financial securities, as small as they were, they weren’t coming in,” she said. “I didn’t think I’d be able to finish school.”
The dean’s list student credits NMC psychology instructor Shiloh Smith for providing emotional support during the last semester.
“Shiloh kept me so motivated, so driven,” Sasser-Drone said. “I’m four-pointing my classes, which gives me a lot of pride.”
It’s also given her admission to Central Michigan University to finish her bachelor’s degree. She found out this week she was accepted to an online program starting this fall. She hopes to eventually work in mental health services within a law enforcement or correctional setting.
“I wouldn’t have been able to continue if it wasn’t for this help this year, and the NMC staff,” she said. “I highly recommend NMC to anyone who’s thinking about going to school.”
NMC developed a system to quickly and automatically distribute 85 percent of this round of student aid to those who qualified. An application process opens Thursday to award the remaining funds. Students will be notified directly how to apply, and the entire $1 million is expected to be distributed by mid-March.
The NMC Foundation’s Be What’s Possible campaign also has supported the emergency needs of students during the pandemic through the Fund for NMC. Give to the campaign here.
The $3 million NMC will receive in institutional funds this round must be used for expenses that are directly related to COVID. NMC will look at infrastructure improvements related to health and safety in buildings, and technology improvements.
“This financial support is critical to helping NMC meet the needs of the learners of our region” said Nick Nissley, NMC president. “In 2020, we pivoted quickly and made major changes to keep delivering education, while also keeping our students and employees safe, all without raising tuition. While we are proud of the work we’ve done to balance the budget so far, we know that some of those adjustments are one-time fixes. The pandemic will have a longer lasting impact on many industries, including higher education and we need to continue to look for ways to right the ship.”

TRAVERSE CITY — Northwestern Michigan College today announced it has received a $1 million commitment from community members Kim Hagerty and Antonio Simão to support the college’s greatest needs and scholarships through two funds. The Kim Hagerty and Antonio Simão gift will support the Fund for NMC, the college’s unrestricted fund, which enables the college to address the greatest needs of its programs and students, such as emergency student support, future program innovations, and more.
“As we’ve seen during the pandemic, the Fund for NMC gives the college the flexibility to pivot to meet the changing needs of our learners at this time and in the future,” said NMC President Nick Nissley.
Additionally, Kim Hagerty and Antonio Simão have committed part of this gift to the Hagerty-Simão Family Scholarship Fund, which will annually provide scholarships to approximately 20 students, with preference to those enrolled in NMC’s Aviation program or the Commitment Scholarship program. As an endowed scholarship fund, these annual scholarships will be available to students in perpetuity.
“This gift from Kim and Antonio will help so many students be successful in reaching their academic goals through NMC,” Nissley said.
Kim Hagerty said that they were inspired by the realization of how important the college is in this community. “Antonio and I have such great confidence in NMC and what it is doing to support students. We want to keep that going,” Hagerty said. “We are so happy to be able to make this commitment.”
This pledge is included as part of the Be What’s Possible campaign, a fundraising initiative for scholarships, programs, facilities, and the Fund for NMC (greatest needs) at NMC. To date the Be What’s Possible campaign has raised more than $34 million towards a goal of $35 million.
Kim Hagerty and her family have long-standing connections to the college. Kim Hagerty served on NMC’s Foundation board for 10 years and continues to serve as an honorary member. Antonio Simão first attended NMC Aviation in 2004, receiving private, seaplane, and instrument ratings.
NMC Aviation trains professional pilots for successful careers in the cockpit. Offering both two- and four-year degree options, over its five decades the program has trained thousands of pilots who have flown everywhere from the military to legacy airlines to the Alaskan bush. Today, NMC Aviation serves more than 150 students each year in both domestic and international exchange programs, and is also a recognized leader in the field of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) training. Find out more at nmc.edu/aviation.
NMC’s Commitment Scholarship program promises a college education to selected northern Michigan ninth graders who are first-generation students, show academic promise and potential, and have financial need. Commitment provides mentoring and college preparatory activities during high school, and a tuition scholarship to NMC for up to 60 credits and/or three years, and has supported more than 1,500 students from across the region since 1993.

Dear students,
NMC is in the process of distributing $1 million our college received as part of the most recent federal coronavirus relief package.
On Monday, NMC awarded more than 900 students an average of $964 apiece in federal funding, which may be used for educational and emergency-related expenses. If you received an award, you were notified by email.
Automated awards ranged from $275 to $1,600 and were based on financial need and enrollment status. Students enrolled in at least 12 credits and who demonstrated greater financial need received higher amounts. Eligible expenses include tuition, fees, housing, food, transportation, books, health care (including mental health care), technology and child care.
The funding is part of the COVID-19 relief funds Congress allocated to higher education in December 2020. NMC received $4.1 million total, of which $1 million was earmarked for direct student aid. Monday’s awards totaled $898,000, meaning 85 percent of the direct aid will be in the hands of students by Feb. 15.
About $164,000 in student funding remains to be spent. An application for those students who were not in the auto-award group is expected to be available by Feb. 18, and students will be notified by email. Awards are expected to be made by mid-March.

TRAVERSE CITY — Northwestern Michigan College is joining the state in offering Michigan Reconnect, an opportunity for residents over age 25 who do not have a college degree to earn it tuition-free as an in-district student or at a reduced rate if out of district.
For eligible students, the program will pay the in-district tuition rate at Michigan community colleges. NMC’s in-district tuition rate applies to Grand Traverse County residents, who also support the college through property taxes. For out-of-district students from other Michigan counties, Michigan Reconnect will pay the in-district portion of tuition. At NMC, that means about half the tuition cost is subsidized for out-of-district students.
Statewide, more than 4.1 million Michiganders are eligible. Michigan Reconnect is a step toward reaching the state’s Sixty by 30 goal, which calls for 60 percent of working-age Michiganders to have college degrees, industry-recognized certificates or other quality credentials by 2030.
Funding for Michigan Reconnect was introduced in Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s fiscal year 2020-21 budget proposal. A bipartisan group of legislators approved $30 million in state funding.

The Les Biederman Building on NMC’s main campus will reopen tomorrow (Wednesday) after a structural engineer assessed the building and determined it is safe. Restrooms in the building will remain closed for now while facilities make any needed repairs.
Overnight, a custodian noticed an usual situation with tiles in the 2nd floor men’s restroom and alerted facilities. The college closed the building out of an abundance of caution to investigate the cause. The structural engineer did a thorough assessment of the building today and said it is safe and can be reopened to students and employees.
