Missing Public Relations pull-up banner

banner in caseRecently, the Public Relations office loaned out a general NMC pull-up banner (available for events, etc.) for an event off campus. In transporting the banner, it fell off the back of a truck. When this was realized, the renter of the banner went back in search of it and could not locate it. It is believed the banner fell off somewhere in the Cedar parking lot (located outside the Tanis, Biederman and Health Science buildings.) If you found the banner (which is held in a black case like the one pictured) the Public Relations office would love to have it back…no matter what condition it’s in! Please return it to LB 104 or contact Anne Varga in Public Relations at (231) 995-1020. Thank you!

Couch to 5K!

runnersHave you thought about completing a 5K race but did not know where to start? Maybe you have done a few in the past and have “rusty” running skills. No worries. This program will help you get started or back on track with running.

How far is a 5K? A 5K is equivalent to 3.1 miles. Because the distance is relatively short (in runner terms), 5K races are very popular and well attended. This program is for beginners so seasoned runners need not apply. The goal is to finish the race feeling fabulous. We will ease into a training plan consisting of alternating walks and easy jogs. Over the course of ten weeks you will build the strength and endurance needed to complete the National Cherry Festival 5k on July 11. Of course you can pick any race you want or forego racing altogether – the choice is yours.   (more…)
