“The Ticker” featured an article, Tuesday, on NMC’s recent work to get the process of offering a bachelor’s degree in maritime technology started.

The Ticker offers a free daily e-newsletter featuring area news and events.

More than 300 high school choir students will be on campus next Wednesday, February 6 participating in the first ever NMC Choral Invitational.
Nine choirs from area high schools (Elk Rapids, Kingsley, Leland, Lake Leelanau St. Mary’s, Glen Lake, Benzie, Gaylord, and Grayling) will spend the day on our campus – learning and rehearsing music together, touring our campus, and attending performances of NMC faculty, music majors, and audio tech students.
The day will culminate in an “Informance” at 6 p.m. in Milliken Auditorium.
The public is invited to attend to our informal performance, or come listen to rehearsals during the day.
This is a wonderful opportunity for these students to take part in a collaborative music festival while learning more about what NMC offers!
