Kudos to the Public Relations Team– Northwestern Michigan College’s newest publication, Nexus, has been named the top community college magazine by the National Council for Marketing & Public Relations.
Produced by NMC’s Public Relations, Marketing & Communications department, Nexus received the 2017 gold Paragon award from NCMPR at its annual conference. The magazine was commended for its strong NMC success stories shared with a broad audience in a compelling visual presentation.
Kudos to the Commitment Scholarship Team, Kevin D’Alessandro, Pam Palermo, Scott Herzberg, and Judy Druskovich,for their wonderful work with future NMC students. It takes a great deal of organization and commitment to provide tours and information to all of our visitors. The Team represents NMC very well! Thank you.
Kudos to the Facilities Crew and Rob Rider and Cathy McCall for their assistance in the relocation of the Tutoring Center to the 2nd floor of Osterlin. Also a huge thank you/kudos goes to Cathy McCall for the coordination and assistance with our move. Thank you.

Outdoor Yoga with Instructor Stephanie Prall. This 20-minute yoga class will be appropriate for all levels of mastery. We encourage you to wear clothes that allow for bending and stretching; however, full athletic attire is not required. The intent is to provide everyone an opportunity to enjoy the summer weather and wake up your body.
Why try yoga? Workout fads come and go, but virtually no other exercise program is as enduring as yoga. It’s been around for more than 5,000 years. Yoga does more than burn calories and tone muscles. It’s a total mind-body workout that combines strengthening and stretching poses with deep breathing and meditation or relaxation. There are more than 100 different forms of yoga. Some are fast-paced and intense. Others are gentle and relaxing.
Founders Hall 110 will be our alternate location in the event of rain.
The following employees are celebrating an anniversary soon. Please join us in congratulating them! (more…)

The library has purchased many new books so far this year. You can view a handful here along with partial descriptions or go here to see the full listing. These books are on display in the library’s lobby.
TRAVERSE CITY — During its regular June 25 monthly meeting, the Board of Trustees for Northwestern Michigan College unanimously approved a balanced budget and set tuition rates and fees for the fall 2018 and spring/summer 2019 semesters.
General tuition rates for residents will increase by $2.25 per contact hour for in-district students, from $103.70 to $105.95.
“Northwestern Michigan College is committed to preparing our learners for success in a rapidly changing global society and economy,” said NMC President Timothy J. Nelson. “We are proud of the work we have done to limit the financial impact on learners by remaining agile and responsive. We still have more work ahead of us, but are dedicated to keeping NMC as the top choice for our learners.”
College leaders have been working to make the institution more efficient and lower costs, including reducing 16 positions through restructuring in the last four years and 12 positions through a voluntary separation plan this year. Those efforts combined with support from donors, lawmakers and community members are helping the college achieve its goals.
For 2018-2019, 21 percent of NMC’s revenue will come from state aid, 22 percent from local property tax, 52 percent from tuition and fees and five percent from other sources.

Kudos to Jim Gray, Laura Mashburn and Brenda Garvon- they helped me to get the Museum ready for the rededication and the Monster Fish exhibit before June 16th. Without their help there’s no way everything would have gotten finished on time. With the custodial department being short staffed it is great to see how we can work together to accomplish things.
Kudos to Cathy McCall for organizing the many office and storage moves in preparation for the West Hall Renovation. Thanks also to all of the people who were relocated. Everyone worked together with respect and a sense of humor making moving a lot easier.
Kudos to Jenny Barnes for helping to cover Central Scheduling while acclimating to her new job in Aviation. Jenny is wearing many hats at this time and doing it with grace and ease. Thank you.
A reminder to managers of student employees. MPSERS mandates that any student taking less than 6 credits in the summer, and less than 12 credits in fall and spring be enrolled in the retirement plan. NMC uses the official enrollment date from the academic calendar to determine credit load for student employees, and no changes are made for the rest of the semester. A re-evaluation of their credit load is done every semester, with appropriate placement in, or out, of MPSERS occurs. Please reach out to Hollie DeWalt in HR if you have any specific questions.
