Kudos to our Enrollment Services Directors, Lisa vonReichbauer, Jim Patterson, Alyssa Irani and Lisa Eiden. The Directors in Enrollment Services are team players! They listened to staff’s request at our ES Department retreat, set expectations/goals for the department and are following though! Go team!!

Kudos to Ben Herman and Facilities. Ben and the entire Facilities team helped organize and execute the emptying and freshening up of faculty offices in Scholars Hall in anticipation of welcoming Business faculty and staff to the building. With Beckett undergoing similar changes, it became necessary to relocate Business, Social Science, and Communications faculty, especially moving instructors out of the SH115 pod and into their new offices. Ben was quick to answer questions, provide needed moving supplies like boxes and solve any problems that developed during the painting, refurbishing and moving process. He coordinated with other NMC staff to facilitate the moving of computers and telephones, and he made sure that everything was clearly and promptly communicated to all those involved. Such a labor-intensive and detailed task went smoothly with the guidance of Ben and the Facilities team.

Kudos to Jim Gullen. Jim was instrumental in helping to provide research and planning in our successful effort to secure our recent $120,000 workforce development contract with MI Works.
