Door Lock Update

NMC Facilities and Security would like to thank you for your help during the transition into the new exterior door lock system on our campuses. Here are a few updates on that process:

  • If you notice any problems with the exterior doors, please call security immediately at (231) 995-1111.
  • Do not prop open exterior doors.
  • During the next two months, facilities is beginning the process of changing the keyed locks on all exterior doors. Previously issued keys for those doors will no longer work and users must use key cards to enter through exterior doors. Keys to interior doors will not change.

Thank you for your continued help during this transition to make our campuses even safer. If you have any questions, call (231) 995-1111.

Spring Arbor University will have a display table in the lobby of NMC’s Health and Science Building on December 7 from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Spring Arbor University allows students the opportunity to complete their bachelors degrees and masters degrees in Traverse City and across Northern Michigan in a format that is geared for working adults. We offer Bachelor’s degrees in Organizational Management, Nursing, BSW, & Human Services. We also offer MBA, MSW, and MSN (along with the RN-MSN program). Classes are 1 night a week for less than 2 years. We have programs available online, as well. SAU is very VA friendly; it meets 6 out of 7 of the MVAA’s Gold Standards.

Kudos to Emily Martin: she is our fantastic student worker in the Foundation department! Every month, she makes thank you phone calls to people who made donations to the NMC Foundation in the previous month.

Emily noticed that many donors wanted to know about students in the program to which they made a donation, and she couldn’t always answer those questions. Emily took the initiative to recruit and train some of her peers to make thank you calls.

Now, she can have a student in the Maritime Academy, for instance, make the thank you call to a GLMA donor. The donor can hear about the experiences of cadets, and cadets can make connections with GLMA alumni and supporters.

Great job Emily for identifying a need and creating a solution!
