Nominate Someone for the NMC Faculty Excellence Awards
Sometimes in the everyday rush of being a student and handling other obligations, it doesn’t occur to students until after they’ve left NMC that they should have said “Thank You” to a particular instructor.  The NMC Faculty Excellence Awards nomination process is an opportunity to do that NOW.

CIE is hoping that you will help us spread the word regarding the Imogene Wise Faculty Excellence Award honoring a full‑time instructor and the NMC Adjunct Faculty Excellence Award honoring an adjunct instructor.  Can you take a few minutes this semester to nominate that instructor who has made sense out of chaos” for you and to encourage others to do the same?

The nomination form is online.
