TRAVERSE CITY — NMC received double good news last week, with announcements of both state and federal grant dollars to expand college programs.
On Feb. 24 NMC learned it will receive the largest program equipment grant in college history from the state of Michigan: $2.07 million for Engineering Technology, Marine Technology, Welding Technology, Nursing and Computer Information Technology programs. NMC is one of 18 community colleges around the state to share $50 million in skilled trade equipment funds. Gov. Rick Snyder said the program represents “an effort to help close a talent gap and meet a demand for good-paying jobs.”
NMC will match 25 percent of the grant funds, or $697,061, to bring the total cost to $2.77 million.
“This investment by both the state and NMC is substantial, and indicative of the significant role community colleges play in their local economies,” said NMC President Timothy J. Nelson.
In addition, the Michigan Manufacturing Technology Center last week also received approval for $2 million in new federal funding, to be spent statewide. As the northern office of the MMTC, which provides training and other services to help businesses grow and improve, NMC’s Training Services division expects to see at least $75,000 starting July 1. More details will be available as that date approaches.

TRAVERSE CITY — Underwater archaeology enthusiasts will have a unique opportunity to train with instructors and students from around the world July 12-26, when NMC hosts the Nautical Archaeology Society’s 2015 International Field School.
Nautical archaeology is the specialized study of maritime technology (e.g., ships, boats and other craft). Based at NMC’s Great Lakes Campus on West Grand Traverse Bay, the NAS Field School will consist of taught courses and the supervised archaeological survey of a historic shipwreck in Northport, Grand Traverse Bay and an earlyArchaic site on the shore of an inland lake.
This is the fifth consecutive year NMC has been selected to host the field school. Based in the United Kingdom, the Nautical Archaeology Society is a non-government organization formed to further interest in underwater cultural heritage. The field school is open to anyone interested and no previous experience is necessary. Although scuba experience is not required, certified divers may dive as part of their field research.
The program is structured as follows:
Week One: Introduction to foreshore and underwater archaeology and the supervised survey of either a dry-land or underwater archaeological site
Week Two: A series of day-long specialty courses covering topics such as: archaeological surveying, artifact typology, ship and boat construction, flint knapping, Native American settlement in northwest Michigan, documentary research, underwater archaeological surveying and archaeological illustration.
For more details, visit www.nasnmc.com. A variety of tuition packages are available, and on-campus housing is available.
