The NMC Aviation Program is setting its sights on the next 50 years! We invite you to celebrate with alumni, faculty and staff, friends, and industry partners at the Aviation 50th Gala at the Grand Traverse Resort & Spa on Thursday evening, September 28. We are honored to have keynote speaker Major General Brian Bishop, Retired, United States Air Force and now one of NMC’s esteemed flight instructors.
Plan now to meet up with former students and faculty, supportive community members, and industry leaders at this fun and inspiring dinner event. It will be a night to celebrate the program milestones and the people who have made NMC Aviation the premier program it is today. Your participation in, and sponsorship of, these events directly supports NMC Aviation.

Submit a Kudos here.
Kudos to Steve Dixon: For over a year, I have trusted Steve to answer questions patiently, to be proactive in helping all users at the Fitness Center and to be friendly and welcoming. With the move to North Hall, however, he has shown exceptional service and professionalism. He has been consistently receptive, helpful, patient, creative in finding solutions, and proactive in understanding what users need. We are very lucky to have him as a face of NMC.
Kudos to Kevin Avery, Ed Bailey, Jim Bensley, Joan Berg, Ryan Bernstein, Lisa Blackford, Betsy Boris, Mary Burget, Kevin D’Alessandro, Ashley Darga, Mark DeLonge, Dani Garcia, Dominic Garzonio, Tom Gordon, Nancy Gray, Mark Holley, Robb Houston, Kari Kahler, Candra Kolodziej, Chris Kuchuris, Alissia Lingaur, Janet Lively, Deb Maison, Brian Majerczyk, Regis McCord, Mella McCormick, Kristy McDonald, Mindy Morton, Dianne Owens, Nancy Parshall, Deb Pharo, Michelle Poertner, Sean Ruane, Kristen Salathiel, Shilo Smith, Melissa Sprenkle, John Sullivan, Michael Torre, Sarah Wangler, Anthony Weber, Ryan Wilson: Together this group of faculty saved students over $167,000 in textbook costs this semester by using free/low cost textbooks. They value the financial health of our students without compromises the quality of their teaching.
Kudos to Rochelle Hammontree: Rochelle took on a project to digitize NMC’s yearbooks to make them freely available online and the alumni office recently reported that, “the link to view digital yearbooks was far and away the most popular one on the alumni e-newsletter we sent last week.” This project is the sort of thing we see her do consistently: quietly doing the work to keep the building and the library running and improving.
