Michael Lingaur, Database and Research Specialist
“I was born in Traverse City and raised in the heart of Leelanau County. After graduating from Lake Leelanau St. Mary of the Assumption High School in 2004, I went on to Northwood University where I graduated in 2008 with an Honors B.B.A., dual majoring in Management Information System and Management. During my time spent at Northwood, I was fortunate enough to be a part of the Northwood University Football team as both a player and a coach. After college, I spent nearly four years in Plymouth, Michigan working as the Database Administrator for Container and Pooling Solutions, a Brambles Company. Now, I’m very excited to move back to Northern Lower Michigan and join the efforts of the Northwestern Michigan College Foundation in its mission to help support NMC provide lifelong learning opportunities to Northwestern Michigan.”
Michael joined the Resource Development staff on February 20. His office is in Founders Hall 113B. He can be reached at 995-2827 or mlingaur@nmc.edu

To Ann Dane, Scott Herzberg, Elizabeth Stevens, Kim Gourlay, Kelly Carlton, Georgenia Hromada, Debra Marx, Jessica Johnson, Chris Horvath, Heather Hale, Linda Berlin and Julie McAllister, who graciously volunteered to give up a Saturday to assist students and their families at the NMC Fabulous FAFSA Saturday workshop. This event was designed to help future and current students complete the Free Application for Federal Aid (FASFA) for the upcoming year.
To Judy Arnold for assisting students and their families after-hours at pre-arranged workshops with the FAFSA process.
To Linda Berlin who coordinated all the Financial Aid February events. She arranged for the volunteers, signage, etc., to insure we had a great event. In addition, she assisted students and their families after-hours at other pre-arranged workshops with the FAFSA process.
To Lori Hodek, Kristal Nolf, Lisa Molmen, Paul Martin, Bryce Turner, Allison Geisert, Kelly Zimmerman for launching Red Carpet, NMC’s new Orientation Software. They all put forth a lot of time and effort with a “let’s get it done!” spirit to meet deadlines. Kudos also to the countless others who pitched in to make this Orientation process more welcoming and effective for our new employees: Advising, Purchasing, Facilities, Tech Services, Educational Media Technologies, Office Managers…kudos to All!
To Linda Glaesmer who does a great job as liaison between the custodians and Central Scheduling, always taking the time to read work orders for the custodians and catches anything that is not clear or incorrect. Linda is very good to work with. I don’t lose sleep wondering if a set up will be over looked. I can always count on her.
To Nicholeen Frusti who initiated and graciously set up each of our Upward Bound students with the PLATO software program, and compassionately provided an orientation for the students. Her expertise, combined with her personal stories, helped the students further understand the power and importance of education… and the importance of achieving their potential.

Call for Artists:
The Dennos Museum Center is offering artists an opportunity to create small works of art and sell them at the museum. The Small Works Sale has been organized to benefit artists and art patrons. There is no application fee or jury process for the sale. If the work of art fits the size and price parameters, it will be allowed in the sale. The Museum hopes that the sale will give artists some extra cash and encourage patrons to buy original art at an affordable price.
Artists may submit up to 10 pieces of art in any media with measurements no greater than 5” X 7” X 1”. Buyers will have an opportunity to purchase as many pieces as they wish on a first-come basis. All art work will be priced at $50 or less.
The Small Works sale, open to the public, will begin with the sale and reception from 5 – 8 p.m., Friday, May 18. The sale will continue Saturday, May 19 from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., and Sunday, May 20 during the NMC BBQ from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.
