Contemporary Chinese Photography exhibition at the Dennos Museum Center
The Dennos Museum Center at Northwestern Michigan College will present the exhibition, “如何回归 – How to Return?” – Images by Contemporary Chinese Photographers June 1 – September 7, 2014.
As China reaches the point of its post-boom years, Exhibition Curator, Steven Harris of M97 Gallery, suggests a more contemplative period is setting in. We are entering a time where the general pulse of society has seen through the veil of glittery consumerism and all it promised, and now artists and thinkers are looking, in many ways, how to return to find what’s left of their roots.
This exhibition features the work of seven noted photographers in China: Adou, Huang Xiaoliang, Liang Weizhou, Lu Yanpeng, Luo Dan, Song Chao, and Wang Ningde presenting contemporary images of the Chinese people and environment, reflecting tradition, change and offering social commentary. (more…)
Benefits corner- Benefits for dependents through age 26
Remember that the Health Care Reform laws extended medical benefits for dependents through age 26, regardless of whether they are your IRS dependents or not. They do not need to be students, can even be married, and also can be working at an employer who offers them insurance. With NMC’s benefit plan, your children can stay on your insurance through the end of the year in which they turn 26, and we have included extension of dental and vision coverage as well, although the reform laws only include medical coverage.
If you have any questions about this or other benefits, feel free to contact Human Resources at 995-1362 or 995-1350. (more…)

Another BBQ success
Thank you to everyone who volunteered, attended and helped enjoy a picture perfect day and made this year’s NMC Barbecue such a big success.
Thousands of people spent hours on the NMC campus enjoying a picnic lunch, music on three different stages, kids’ games, program and classroom displays, and much more.
We served 9,040 meals on May 18, up from last year. Included in that number are 359 local residents who received home-delivered meals through the Grand Traverse County Commission on Aging, which operated out of the kitchen in West Hall.
Check out the Hawk Owl
The NMC BBQ featured a great picnic, great music and perfect weather, but it also marked the reveal of the Northwestern Michigan College Hawk Owl.
