Kudos to Carolyn Andrews!  Kudos to Carolyn Andrews, her NMC team, and all the community volunteers for another great opportunity for area middle school and high school students to attend the Building Tomorrow event. They showcased the amazing programs NMC has to offer!

Kudos to Denver Peters! Denver Peters, Director of Strategic Portfolio and Development, dove head first into the Blue Tech Challenge. The Blue Tech Challenge is a grant-funded imitative to support “BlueTech” and water-based technology start-up companies and ideas with the goal of having the companies relocate to Traverse City and the Freshwater Research and Innovation Center. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Denver had to lead the BlueTech Challenge finale at the Oceans Conference in Chicago, IL. The event went off without a hitch and the feedback has been very positive as Wave Lumina was named the winner, earning the prize money. Denver not only ran the finale, but also assisted the finalists with networking events, booth displays and follow-ups, all while representing NMC. Way to step up, Denver!

Kudos to Carolyn Andrews, Georgenia Hromada, Ryan Deering, Wayne Moody, Jeff Morse and Dan Simon for an amazing job on the two-day event, Building Tomorrow!!! Students had a great time and loved all of the hands-on activities! Everything flowed seamlessly! What a blast!
