Jeff Cobb led the NMC Chorale and Chamber Singers in a beautiful performance of Frostiana recently at Interlochen Center for the Arts. Under Jeff’s direction the NMC Choirs have elevated the stature of NMC’s music programs with performances like this one where the Choirs were accompanied by the Traverse Symphony Orchestra. Hundreds of community members attended the concert, and Jeff and his choirs made NMC very proud. Well done!
Kudos to the Resource Development team for hosting yet another amazing Scholarship Luncheon. We would also like to thank all NMC faculty, staff, and students who attended the luncheon and especially those who shared their stories with the group. The stories that were shared were truly inspirational and are a great example of what makes NMC such a special place.
Kudos to the Campus Services and Security Staff crew that covered the Odyssey of the Mind state competition this past Saturday in Scholars Hall, Beckett, and PE Buildings. Several teams from all over the state were on campus to compete in this HUGE event. Here is feedback gathered by OM organizers at their follow-up meeting Sunday morning: “Compliments flew all morning about the great staff and all of the help and how as soon as something was needed it appeared. It was absolutely wonderful and we can’t thank you enough for everything that you all did for us!” Job well done, people!
John Biolchini gave a tremendous “best practices” presentation to the NMC Adjunct-to-Adjunct meeting Friday April 12, 2013. His presentation featured the competency based curriculum for our GLMA students. Everyone in attendance saw ways that they could translate GLMA ideas to their courses. He also helped us better understand the changes our GLMA students are experiencing. This helps all of us help maritime students in our varied courses. He made this presentation to his peers, on his own time. Bravo John!
The Support Staff and Tech Para employee groups want to thank Rhonda Greiner for donating door prizes to our Professional Development Day. In a pinch and without the blink of an eye, she also donated 50 plastic NMC bookstore bags to contain goodies for our attendees. Without hesitation, she and her staff have helped us numerous times and we are grateful and very appreciative!
Many thanks to Nate Glidden, Chad Schenkelberger, and the entire Hagerty Center staff for hosting our 21st annual Scholarship Luncheon last week. They did a flawless job and adapted to minor changes with ease and grace. We appreciate all the hard work that goes into an event like this and realize that there are dozens of people helping behind the scenes. THANK YOU for a job well done!
Many thanks to Dennis Schultz for capturing GREAT video at the Scholarship Luncheon. We look forward to using his clips in a new Thank You video to share with friends and supporters of the College.
