This month in NMC history for November
50 Years Ago:
- The State okayed a matching grant of $82,000 towards construction of NMC’s new science building (now Scholars Hall). Besides regular classrooms, the building is to contain two chemistry labs, a physics lab, and a large lecture hall.
25 Years Ago:
- The college built a lighted hiking/cross country ski trail. It was 2.5 kilometers long and 8 ft. wide and went in a loop starting in the woods behind the Oleson Center and ending up at the former tennis courts (now Cherry Lot). Student government contributed $2,000 towards the $10,000 cost.
5 Years Ago: Governor Jennifer Granholm visited NMC’s Energy Demonstration Center (see photo).

Faculty and Staff: Learning. Growing. Giving.
Through the generous support of people like you, the Annual Campaign has become one of the leading sources of funding for NMC scholarships. Last year, faculty and staff contributions raised more than $34,000 which helped provide scholarships to more than 500 students and helped meet the need of student programs and services campus wide.
Each scholarship awarded provides another opportunity for a student to grow their dream. Every scholarship recipient’s financial burden is eased because you care enough to give. Your gifts to the Annual Campaign make it possible for more graduation gowns to be worn, more degrees to be obtained, and more lives to be changed through the power of achieving higher education.
You can give online at nmc.edu/give today or you can enroll in payroll deduction and have your monthly gift automatically deducted from your paycheck. Simply fill out the payroll deduction form you received and return it to the Foundation.
Please consider a gift and help today’s learners grow into tomorrow’s givers.
In case you missed it – Less is more
NMC’s Lean Champion training program is featured in the Grand Traverse Insider.
