The NMC Writing and Reading Center is now hiring new readers for the 2012-2013 school year. Please send your dedicated students our way. The WRC’s success is based on its readers. Help us to make next year our best one yet.
Successful readers are students who have not only shown they are strong writers, but also adept at communicating with other student writers. Often they are the ones that many in the classroom turn to for assistance or clarification. The key to working in the WRC is the ability to express ideas and give clear feedback.
Candidates must have completed ENG 111 and ENG 112 by Fall 2012. In addition, please send me your recommendation for any students that you suggest apply. The full job description along with the application link can be found here: https://www.nmc.edu/student-services/writing-center/employment.html.

This week is your last chance to take an online survey about what you watch on TV, what you listen to on the radio, what you read in print or online, and the ways you prefer to be contacted with new information. The survey instructions say that it takes 15-20 minutes to complete, but smart people like you will probably finish it in 10 minutes or so. Everyone who completes the survey will be entered into a drawing to win a $150 Amazon.com gift card. Not bad for 10 minutes of work.
We extended the survey time for a few days, and the company helping us with the survey addressed a problem that timed a few people out of the survey while they were taking it. So if that happened to you, give it one more shot and give yourself another chance to win the gift card.
You can take the survey here: http://www.interactresearch.org/mp/126/
And the password is: michigan
So thanks in advance for taking the survey, and good luck on winning the gift card!

To the Student Life Staff and Hagerty Center Staff for participating in March’s Anti-Bullying week. The week included two events on NMC’s campus, and were coordinated through our Student Life office and co-sponsored by the Michigan Department of Civil Rights, Third Level Crisis Center, TBA-ISD, and the Michigan State Police Dept. NMC also worked closely with TCAPS, the State Theater and the Traverse City Area District Library toward these efforts. Several events were held at the Hagerty Center throughout the week that closed on Friday, March 16, with a Challenge Bullying Conference at the Hagerty Center. Over 350 students, professionals and concerned community members attended for a day of speakers and training. Student leaders attended from as far north as Sault Ste. Marie and as far south as Ludington. We also had great participation from TCAPS, and TBA-ISD high schools and middle schools.

The It Gets Better Project is a response to a number of students taking their own lives after being bullied in school, the project’s creators wanted to create a personal way for supporters everywhere to tell LGBT youth that, yes, it does indeed get better.
NMC Student Life and NMC Pride is inviting students, faculty and staff to participate in an It Gets Better video. The video will take place in the Student Life Office, lower level of West Hall, and Emily Magner will be project editor. Anyone interested can contact Stephen Krygier at skrygier@nmc.edu or call 231-709-0971 to set a taping appointment.
ItGetsBetter.org, the official web site where the video will be posted, and on select NMC web pages, is a place where young people who are lesbian, gay, bi, or trans can see how love and happiness can be a reality in their future. It’s a place where straight allies can visit and support their friends and family members. It’s a place where people can share their stories, take the It Gets Better Project pledge and watch videos of love and support.
Student Life and NMC Pride is looking for anyone in support of the LGBT community and who is willing to share their own personal stories.
Please call Emily Magner for more information, 995-1118.
