On average, 22 veterans take their own lives every day. This is a pandemic that can be solved simply by letting people know there are answers to their questions.

The DK5K Tough Run is a 5K obstacle course aiming to raise awareness about the challenges veterans face every day and the issue of suicide. There will be two divisions — competitive and recreational.

Funds raised will benefit the NMC chapter of Student Veterans of America (SVA) and 22-2-None, two local organizations offering free services for veterans.
 

Race registration is open until September 5 at DK5K.info.

Parking Enforcement begins Sept. 11

The Traverse City Parking Patrol will begin enforcing parking at NMC on Monday, September 11. All faculty, staff and students must have their 2017-2018 permits displayed by that date.

The Traverse City Police Department has provided the following information on how to avoid parking tickets on campus by properly displaying your parking permit:

  • Place your permit in the bottom left-hand corner of your windshield.
  • Place your permit right side up. An upside-down permit will be considered invalid.
  • Hang tags must be on the rear view mirror. 
  • Be sure that the expiration date on your permit can be seen from the outside of your vehicle. (Some vehicles have a tint on the edges of their windshield, so be sure your permit is not behind a tint, as it will make it difficult to see from the outside.) When it doubt, get out of your vehicle and be sure you can see the entire permit from the outside.

If you do get a ticket, payment can be made at the red dropoff payment box at the east end of the Cedar lot in front of the Health & Science building. You can also mail the fine in to the city, or pay at the parking services office in the public parking garage at 303 E. State St. Payment information is also on each ticket.

If you have any questions about parking enforcement on campus, please call (231) 995-1111.
