Northwestern Michigan College’s chapter of Phi Theta Kappa (Alpha Rho Pi) was honored with several awards at the 94th Phi Theta Kappa Convention in Nashville, Saturday night.
NMC’s Phi Theta Kappa chapter was honored as one of the top 28 chapters in the world.
NMC student MacKenzie Campbell (Traverse City West graduate) was named a Distinguished Member.
NMC’s PTK leadership: President Erica Hamilton (Mesick), Ashley Flees (Kalkaska), Nargilya Gasanova (international student from Turkmenistan), Bryan Kelly (Livonia Bentley), Sophia House (home school – Frankfort), Erica Peplinski (Grand Traverse Academy) and Ashley Finfrock (Grand Traverse Academy) were named a Distinguished Officer Team.
The chapter earned Honors in Action for a volunteer fair they held in November as the culmination of research on how the dissemination of information influences individuals’ capacity to volunteer in the Grand Traverse community and beyond.
NMC’s chapter advisors are Nicholeen Frusti and Kari Kahler. Kahler also serves as the Michigan Regional Coordinator, and the Michigan Region was one of two in the world to be honored as a Distinguished Region.
A record number of more than 4,000 Phi Theta Kappa members and advisors, representing 587 chapters from around the world attended the conference. A total of 1,897 entries were received for the 2012 Hallmark Awards Competition.

2012 Retirement & Recognition Reception
April 25 ~ 4:30 to 7:00 pm ~ Hagerty Center
Join us as we honor our retirees, co-workers who have reached milestone employment anniversaries, and winners of the 2012 Foundation Excellence Awards! The deadline to RSVP for this event is MONDAY, APRIL 16. Please e-mail cpaul@nmc.edu or call 995-1026.
New this year: Because NMC is committed to valuing all people, the Employee Recognition Committee has recommended that beginning April 2012, all regular faculty and staff service time will include any adjunct and supplemental time that was worked prior to becoming a regular employee.
If you worked as adjunct faculty or supplemental staff before being hired into a regular position, that time will be added to your anniversary date. Service time will now include original hire date to present, minus any breaks in employment of one month or more.
For 2012, you will receive a transition gift if you have received or will receive another service award within five years. This is to avoid taxation for receiving multiple service awards within a five year period. Your next service award gift will include your added service time, and will put you back on schedule for an award every five years.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this change, feel free to contact Lori at 5-1143. For questions about your years of service, please contact Cheri at 5-1026.
We appreciate you and are pleased to honor all of your service to the College.

The NMC Wellness Olympics are here. There are two parts to the NMC Wellness Olympics: Olympic Training and Olympic Events.
Olympic Training
During Olympic Training participants will keep track of points through an online form. 15 minutes of exercise = 1 point. Because we know that NMC staff are trustworthy, they will self report the week of the exercise. As well, participants will determine if they are a “Veteran Olympian” (currently exercising 3x per week) or “Amateur Olympian” (currently exercising less than 2x per week).
Olympic Events
A variety of events will be occurring during the Olympics (July 27-August 12). These events are still to be determined.
What’s my next step?

The Dennos Museum Center presents Nagata Shachu a taiko (Japanese drum) ensemble, on Friday April 27, 2012 at 8:00 in the Milliken Auditorium of the Dennos Museum Center. Tickets for the concert are $25 in advance ($22 for museum members) and $28 at the door. Call the Milliken Auditorium Box office at 231-995-1553 for tickets or purchase on line at www.dennosmuseum.org.
Nagata Shachu’s appearance in Traverse City is part of a Michigan tour that will take the group from Kalamazoo, to Fremont, Traverse City and Sault St. Marie the week of April 22.
While firmly rooted in the folk drumming traditions found throughout Japan, Nagata Shachu has worked to rejuvenate and redefine this ancient art form ensuring its relevance for the present. The ensemble produces challenging and dynamic works that seek to create a new voice for the taiko.
Under the direction of Kiyoshi Nagata, the ensemble has become recognized for its exacting yet physically demanding performances on the taiko as well as for its broad and varied repertoire. With an emphasis on music and technical fundamentals, the ensemble has created a unique performance style that is both powerful in expression and beautiful in its simplicity.
Nagata Shachu is one of only a few groups in North America that owns and performs on a complete set of authentic taiko imported from Japan. Combining thunderous, primal drumbeats with subtle, intricate rhythms, the ensemble is able to produce a wide spectrum of sound. With their vast array of Japanese taiko, gongs, bells, wooden clappers, shakers and bamboo flutes, the Nagata Shachu takes the listener on a musical journey beyond all borders.
Nagata Shachu will offer a Japanese drumming performance for schools on Friday, April 27 at 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM in the Milliken Auditorium of the Dennos Museum Center. Call 231-995-1029 for information or to purchase tickets for the school concerts.
For more information on Nagata Shachu go to www.nagatashachu.com.
