Another year at NMC is coming to a close, and whether you are just taking the summer to regroup before hitting the books again in the fall, or moving on to bigger and better things, it is important to finish everything off before taking that well deserved breath. Finals always take center stage as they should this time of year as well they should, but below we have a “Taking Care of Business” checklist for all the other little things you need to do before kicking back and enjoying the sunshine.
