Travel day is Thursday, April 27 with all guests traveling on their own and meeting in Toronto where a block of rooms has been reserved at the Bond Place Hotel.

Every winter for many of the early years, the students had a “Snowbrawl” event. It seems to always have taken place at Gilbert Lodge at Twin Lakes (former 4-H property, now a county park). Most years our archives have found photos of students tobogganing, throwing snowballs, etc. but the yearbook from 60 years ago, in 1954, only shows activities in the lodge itself. Must have been another cold winter like the one we are having currently! (more…)

I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude to our NMC leadership, faculty and staff for everything they have done (and continue to do) for our NMC military service men and women. I hear countless stories on how our veterans appreciate the support they receive campus-wide and how it makes all the difference in the world for our soldiers. I am not only grateful for all you do, but honored to be your colleague! There are too few words and too many ways to say it, but THANK YOU!
Your efforts have helped NMC become one of America’s TOP Military-Friendly Colleges and Universities.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
-Scott Herzberg
POC, Military & Veteran Services, Assistant Director of Outreach Services
