The deadline for the spring semester’s round of Innovation Grant applications is December 1. Applications must be submitted to your area Vice President by this date.
It is strongly recommended that you discuss your proposal idea with your Vice President before developing the full proposal. VPs do have the authority to reject an application but can also provide valuable feedback to help develop great proposals that are more likely to be successful!

Dear colleagues:
On Monday, November 13, NMC will observe Veterans Day with morning activities to mark the day with special recognition for student, faculty, and staff veterans. Please encourage and allow any veterans in your classes and offices to attend the breakfast, Walk of Honor, and Flag Raising Ceremony.
I strongly encourage the entire campus to line up along the sidewalks from West Hall to the flagpoles west of the Tanis Building to support the veterans taking part in the Walk of Honor that begins promptly at 9:20 a.m. Afterwards, there will be a Flag Raising Ceremony conducted by the VFW with Traverse City Central High School Marching Band performing the Star Spangled Banner.
The entire campus community is invited to stop by for coffee and cake that will be served in the West Hall lobby from 10 a.m. to noon in honor of veterans. An invitation to a free public public showing of the documentary Almost Sunrise is also attached to this e-mail. The documentary will be shown on Wednesday, November 8 at 7 p.m., followed by Q&A with local combat veterans.
Serving those who have served us is a year-round priority at NMC, and I’m extremely proud that NMC has been certified for the third consecutive year as a Gold-Level Veteran Friendly School by the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency for our commitment to supporting the needs of student veterans and dependents. The program awards Gold-, Silver-, or Bronze-Level status to institutions that offer veteran-centric services and programs.
Thank you for giving your time to recognize our military veterans and thank them for their service.
Tim

KUDOS- (praise or respect that you get because of something you have done or achieved) defined by Merriam-Webster.com
Submit a Kudos here.
Kudos to Judy Druskovich: Judy acts as the student adviser for the GLMA contingent of the nationwide Women on the Water group. GLMA hosted the very first WOW conference several years ago and it came full circle back to GLMA this year (each year a different Maritime Academy hosts). This (student) maritime professional development conference was held in the Hagerty Center October 26-28, 2017. Judy almost single handedly liaised with industry, other Academies, Federal agencies and cadets to make this conference the success that it was. She obtained sponsorship for various aspects of the conference; scheduled panel speakers for sessions, keynote and guest speakers; obtained video addresses from both Senator Debbie Stabenow and the Maritime Administrator RADM Mark Buzby; arranged networking events; scheduled cadet watchkeeping duties etc. Some assistance was provided by WOW group members at GLMA (again, cadet scheduling by Judy) and the NMC Foundation for registration purposes, but Judy took this large project on with dedication, professionalism and always a sunny disposition. This project was undertaken in addition to her full time Admissions role. Kudos Judy!
