Kudos to Katy Grimmer, Randi Nelson & Sarah Sergent from Learning Services:  We have the best students working in our department already, but we were so ecstatic to see that Katy, Randi and Sarah made the Dean’s List this spring!! They exemplify what it means to be a hard working hawk owl and we are lucky to have them.

Kudos to Christa Abdul-Karim:  Christa represented EES College for Kids at the Price Carnival event last weekend. Christa supported NMC Extended Education by giving away over 200 prizes, increasing our enews list, spending time with attendees at the event, and all around spreading the good word of EES. Volunteering during a precious Saturday in June demonstrates Christa’s dedication to our programming; it is greatly valued and appreciated by her EES Team.

In addition to supporting NMC EES, her involvement in the Pride Carnival showcases her genuine support for the LGBTQ+ community, and thus, her dedication to promoting inclusivity and diversity, a strategic initiative here at NMC.

On behalf of the EES Team, I want to express our gratitude for Christa’s outstanding efforts, passion, and dedication. We are incredibly fortunate to have you as a member of our team!

Kudos to Les Eckert and GLCI Team:  I am so excited that Lobdell’s is open again this summer. Their breakfast and coffee was outstanding!!! I am looking forward to going back many more times this summer for meetings or for just the great food.
