TRAVERSE CITY — Grand Traverse County taxpayers will save $1.2 million in interest over five years following a refinancing of $12.2 million in general obligation bonds earlier this month.
Bids were sought in December 2014. Standard and Poor’s awarded NMC its AA long-term rating, signifying the college’s “very strong capacity” to meet its obligations. Chemical Bank submitted the lowest interest rate of 1.38902 percent and was awarded the refinancing.
This is the third time NMC has refinanced bonds originally issued in 1999, when voters approved $34.7 million for capital and equipment projects, including construction of a new technology education building (Parsons-Stulen Building), and demolition and construction of the Great Lakes Campus. The first refinancing was in 2005 and the second in 2009. Collectively, taxpayers will save $3.2 million as the result of the three refinancings.
“This outcome is a result of NMC fulfilling its duty to be a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars,” said NMC President Timothy J. Nelson. “Both the actual interest savings and the very strong bond rating should give Grand Traverse County residents confidence in the college’s fiscal management going forward.”

TRAVERSE CITY — Lakes Michigan and Huron have risen more than three feet in two years, going from all-time record lows in 2013 to slightly above long-term averages today. Great Lakes property owners, boaters, government officials and anyone with an interest in what those rapid fluctuations mean for the lakes are invited to learn more at a May 18 seminar.
Sponsored by NMC’s Great Lakes Water Studies Institute, the seminar will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. May 18 at the Hagerty Center and is the first of a three-part series focused on understanding Great Lakes water levels and how future trends may influence our region. Subsequent seminars will be held June 22 and a future date. In an effort to help decision-makers address the challenges and opportunities posed by Great Lakes water level variability, this integrated assessment (IA) focuses on Lakes Michigan, Huron, and Erie and asks:
What environmental, social, political, and economical policy options can be implemented to better enable people, businesses, and governments to adapt to Great Lakes water level variability both now and in the future? What management actions can be implemented?
This work is part of a Great Lakes-wide investigation awarded to seven teams of U.S. and Canadian researchers for six-month planning grants. Planning grants began in March and run through August 2015. Potential adaptive strategies will be examined, and appropriate localities and partners willing to collaborate in the IA funding from the Graham Sustainability Institute at the University of Michigan will be identified.
This first community stakeholder event will include presentations and discussions from leading experts and scientists focused on Great Lakes water levels. Learn about the latest developments of a new International Great Lakes Datum (IGLD – 2020), the benchmark of how lake levels are measured, and the importance of this effort for the entire Great Lakes. Speakers and topics include:
Water Levels in the Lakes, Upcoming International Great Lakes Datum (IGLD) Update
Laura Rear McLaughlin – Mapping and Charting Program Manager
Colleen Roche, PE – Design and Development Engineering Team Lead
NOAA, Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS)

TRAVERSE CITY — A science instructor and a social science instructor were named the 2015 winners of NMC’s annual Faculty Excellence awards at commencement ceremonies May 2.
Dr. Jerry Dobek, who teaches math and astronomy and also heads NMC’s Joseph H. Rogers Observatory is the Imogene Wise Faculty Excellence Award winner. Brian Heffner, who now leads NMC’s Police Academy, is the Adjunct Faculty Excellence Award winner. Chosen by a student selection committee, criteria for both awards include teaching excellence, rapport with students, innovation in the classroom and a sense of dedication.
Dobek began at NMC in 1989 as an adjunct instructor, and in 2002 won the Adjunct Faculty Excellence Award. He is also an NMC alumnus. In their nominations students said:
- “This professor has a ‘leave no one behind’ mentality which is evident from the beginning of each new semester. With the teacher’s consistent mentorship, you will have no doubt that you will pass.”
- “This instructor has an amazing gift and ability to teach in a way that is fun.”
- “With his real-life way of looking at math from all angles, you see and learn that yes, we use math all the time.”
Heffner began in 2007 as an adjunct instructor as well, and was hired as director of NMC’s Police Academy this past January. In their nominations, students said:
- “This instructor shows a real interest in the students and is always a positive and wonderful role model.”
- “The instructor does an excellent job engaging students from the start of class.”
- “The course material is clearly organized and I feel people that have taken these classes have learned more from the way the instructor teaches the material.”
The Faculty Excellence award was initiated by a contribution from longtime NMC benefactors Harold and Imogene Wise in 1970 and first awarded to a full-time faculty member in 1971. The Adjunct Faculty Excellence Award was created in 1999 as a companion.

Lifesaving has been all in a day’s work for Doug Lathrop for more than 25 years.
As a helicopter rescue swimmer and advanced helicopter rescue school instructor for the U.S. Coast Guard, Lathrop’s descended to places like Washington’s Olympic Mountain Range (left) where he plucked a climber who had fractured a knee and cracked ribs in a fall. He worked in nine states, including Alaska, and was certified as an EMT.
So when he started thinking about life after the Coast Guard, nursing seemed like a natural path. And Lathrop, 50, knew right where he wanted to start that second career: NMC.
At 25, Seth DuMoulin is on the opposite side of his Coast Guard career. But like Lathrop, he, too, attends NMC using military benefits, fitting in classes around his active duty schedule at USCG Air Station Traverse City in pursuit of an engineering degree.
Lathrop and DuMoulin are among the 5 percent of NMC students who are veterans or active-duty military. They share an academic distinction, too: Both are on the dean’s list.
Traverse City station
A California native, Lathrop and his family were first stationed in Traverse City from 2000 to 2004, and his youngest son was born here. Other stations followed, and then the family of five returned for a second stint in 2009. In 2013 Lathrop left for his last Coast Guard post, in North Carolina. He rejoined his family in Kingsley in 2014, and started classes at NMC that fall.
While he credits the Coast Guard for instilling his work ethic, the pre-ADN student said it’s NMC faculty and staff who have inspired an enthusiasm for learning that didn’t exist the first time he tried college.
“They definitely set veterans up for success here at the college,” said Lathrop, who aspires to earn a master’s degree and teach nursing himself.
Writing instructors Janet Lively and Jennifer Witt were especially significant, he said, so much so that he’s now employed in NMC’s Writing & Reading Center.
“I wasn’t a very good writer the first time,” he said. “NMC really allowed me to take off with my writing.”
College support ‘critical’
DuMoulin (right) agreed college support has been critical to his persistence. An avionics electrical technician for the Coast Guard, he started in fall 2013 and almost every semester, duties and deployments have prevented regular attendance.
“NMC has been really good at working around it,” he said. In spring 2014, for instance, the Coast Guard sent him to two different out-of-state trainings held mid-semester.
“I had to complete the semester load in two weeks,” DuMoulin said of his intermediate algebra class. Instructor Jim Szczechowski let him take the final a month and a half early and DuMoulin earned a 4.0.
He missed the fall 2014 semester altogether due to an international deployment. He was enrolled and expecting to resume classes in spring 2015 when yet another deployment forced him to miss the first week. Even back in Traverse City, his shift scheduling meant he missed another two classes per month. DuMoulin still landed on the dean’s list.
Like Lathrop, DuMoulin said the Coast Guard helped cultivate him into a student. He enlisted in 2010, after an unfulfilling post-high school graduation year working in a Youngstown, Ohio, Pizza Hut. “My study habits weren’t the best from high school,” he said.
Now, he prides himself on his academic reputation. His instructors know that if duty calls, he won’t use it as an excuse.
“They know I’m going to try on my part to stay caught up,” he said.
DuMoulin also tries to visit his two-year-old son back in Ohio as often as he can, and is thinking ahead to summer 2017, when his commitment at Air Station Traverse City will expire. He’d like to find an engineering job in Colorado, where he could snowboard. Whether military or civilian, his advice for student success is simple.
“I realized all I needed to do was care. That went a long way,” he said.

TRAVERSE CITY — NMC this week achieved its highest ranking yet for veterans services, named as the fifth best community college nationwide on Military Times 2016 “Best for Vets” list.
Military Times, an independent print and online newspaper that reports on military issues, said it used a 120-question survey to evaluate schools. In addition it reviewed data from the Veterans Affairs Department, Defense Department and Education Department for information on everything from veteran-related policies to average salaries after graduation. Last year Military Times ranked NMC 68th on a list of four-year schools, since the college does offer one bachelor’s degree.
Besides Military Times, NMC has also been recognized and ranked as a military-friendly college by GI Jobs and Military Advanced Education for the last four years.
About five percent of NMC students are veterans. The college will honor student, staff and faculty veterans on Wednesday, Veterans Day, beginning with a free breakfast for veterans at 8:30 a.m. in the Hawk Owl Cafe in West Hall.
At 9:20 a.m. the Traverse City Central High School drumline will lead veterans in a Walk of Honor from West Hall to the flagpoles west of the Tanis Building. The NMC campus community is invited to line the sidewalks to support veterans participating in the walk. A flag raising ceremony including a three-volley salute to deceased veterans will be conducted by the VFW Post 2780 Color Guard at 9:30 a.m.
From 10 a.m. to noon the entire campus community is invited for coffee and cake served in West Hall in honor of veterans.
Also Wednesday, NMC’s chapter of the Student Veterans of America will hold a silent auction fundraiser from 6-9 p.m. at Right Brain Brewery, 225 E. Sixteenth St., Traverse City.
