Photographer Paula Allen will be at NMC, February 20 at 7 pm to give a speech, “Against All Odds: Women Around The World Demand Justice.” Tickets are free, and can be picked up in the Student Life office.
She has been an ‘activist with a camera’ for more than two decades (www.paula-allen.com). She has concentrated on photographing women around the world in their courageous and often invisible confrontations with violence and oppression. From a ‘safe house’ in Kenya where girls escape female genital mutilation to a village in Kosovo in which only the women and children survived the war; from the streets of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico where women march to demand investigations of the murders of young female factory workers, to Asia, where ‘comfort women’ break silence by telling their stories of military sexual slavery by Japan during World War II — Allen has documented women’s determination in the pursuit of freedom, truth and justice.
What makes Allen especially unique is her long-term approach to her subject matter. As much anthropologist as photographer, she has documented many of her subjects for almost two decades, traveling back year after year to people and plights around the globe.

Persistence is important.
- Avoid dropping classes. Students who complete a higher percentage of their attempted courses have more success overall.
- Maintain momentum. Enroll continuously without stop-outs.
- We’re here to help you. Seek academic support quickly. Don’t wait until you feel overwhelmed by challenging coursework to get some help. Meet regularly with advisors and register on time for courses. Students who wait to register often find the courses they need have already filled.
And…don’t forget to apply to graduate if you are within two semesters of completing your degree.

As an NMC student you have an @mail.nmc.edu e-mail address (this e-mail was sent to it, for example), and it is very important that you check it regularly. Why?
Because your @mail.nmc.edu e-mail address is how the college will send almost every official notice to you. It’s where you’ll get your information about your financial aid, your courses, your grades and just about everything else that you really need to know.
Check it often. You never know what kind of good stuff you’ll find there.

Sometimes in the everyday rush of being a student and handling other obligations, it doesn’t occur to students until after they’ve left NMC that they should have said “Thank You” to a particular instructor. The NMC Faculty Excellence Awards nomination process is an opportunity to do that NOW.
CIE is hoping that you will help us spread the word regarding the Imogene Wise Faculty Excellence Award honoring a full‑time instructor and the NMC Adjunct Faculty Excellence Award honoring an adjunct instructor. Can you take a few minutes this semester to nominate that instructor who has made sense out of chaos” for you and to encourage others to do the same?
The nomination form is online.
