Changes as a result of the new scholarship system
NMC has launched a new scholarship web page and will no longer look at paper applications. It was previously stated, complete a FAFSA and you are eligible for scholarships. This is no longer the case. However, most scholarships are need based awards and would require a FAFSA to be eligible. (more…)

Benefits corner- Do you have a Priority Health Member Account?
Have you ever wondered how close you are to meeting your medical deductible? Or how much you have used of your flexible spending account? How about whether your provider has already submitted a bill for your visit and how much you will have to pay them? If you are an employee on NMC’s medical plans, you can check your deductibles, your out-of-pocket expenses, your medical claims, your flexible spending accounts, and your pharmacy claims online. You can request new cards online through your account and also search for providers in the network. Priority Health acts as our claims administrator, and they give you the ability to set up a Member Account for yourself and for each of your covered dependents to view this information. (more…)

Contemporary Chinese Photography exhibition at the Dennos Museum Center
The Dennos Museum Center at Northwestern Michigan College will present the exhibition, “如何回归 – How to Return?” – Images by Contemporary Chinese Photographers June 1 – September 7, 2014.
As China reaches the point of its post-boom years, Exhibition Curator, Steven Harris of M97 Gallery, suggests a more contemplative period is setting in. We are entering a time where the general pulse of society has seen through the veil of glittery consumerism and all it promised, and now artists and thinkers are looking, in many ways, how to return to find what’s left of their roots.
This exhibition features the work of seven noted photographers in China: Adou, Huang Xiaoliang, Liang Weizhou, Lu Yanpeng, Luo Dan, Song Chao, and Wang Ningde presenting contemporary images of the Chinese people and environment, reflecting tradition, change and offering social commentary. (more…)
