Kudos to Rob Rider, Beth Norconk, Chris Little, Justin Guillard, Dan Wasson, and Steve Dix. Many thanks to Rob, Beth, Chris, Justin, Dan and Steve for swarming the Parsons-Stulen labs and helping with the removal and replacement of 73 computer hard drives. We were able to replace the drives, load software on these machines and have them functional within five hours; a task which would have taken me a week working solo.

Kudos to Amy Burns-Bailey. Thank you to Amy Burns-Bailey for setting up the Lunch & Learn with Ken Scott (Transformation Coaching) on the topic “Creating Memories of Your Future”. NMC students, staff and retirees attended the interactive presentation and Ken was very engaging and thought provoking. Hopefully Amy will bring him back this spring to present again!

Kudos to Ryan Deering and Tony Sauerbrey.  During College for Kids this past summer, we had an instructor running late due to a flat tire. Tony Sauerbrey and Ryan Deering came to the rescue! Thanks Tony and Ryan for saving the day and running the topographic sandbox in Parsons Stulens so that the College for Kids, “Building Virtual Worlds” students could see augmented reality in action!

Kudos to Lisa Baldyga and Amy Burns-Bailey. Thank you to Lisa Baldyga, Employment Readiness Coordinator, and Amy Burns-Bailey, Experiential Learning Coordinator, for offering “Coffee & Career Chats” each month. This gives our students an informal way to ask questions about resumes, career ideas, internships and more!
