TRAVERSE CITY — Eight people will take part in video interviews to become the new president of Northwestern Michigan College. The interviews with the presidential search committee are scheduled from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. August 5 and 6 in rooms 215/217 of NMC’s University Center. The meetings are open to the public.
The candidates are:
NMC Board Chair Chris Bott said, “The Board is excited to move forward with the important process of choosing the next leader of Northwestern Michigan College. Our institution is strong and is in a good position to attract a competitive pool of candidates. The Board remains committed to identifying the next leader dedicated to preparing our learners and our region for success.”
After the video interviews, the committee will recommend three to five candidates to the Board of Trustees for in-person interviews later in August.
A total of 67 people applied for the position. Presidential search firm The Pauly Group reviewed the applicants to ensure all met the minimum criteria for the job. The Pauly group recommended 20 candidates to the presidential search committee. That committee narrowed the list to eight candidates for video interviews.
This is the culmination of work since Nov. 1, 2018, when current president Timothy J. Nelson announced his intention to retire on Dec. 31, 2019.
NMC’s Board of Trustees expects to name a new president in September, with a start date of Jan. 1, 2020.

Welcome to the new homepage for students.nmc.edu! The new homepage and site design is the result of input from multiple student groups, work by NMC’s Information Technology Services department and coordination by NMC’s Public Relations, Marketing & Communications office. It’s intended to give faster and more personalized access to the links and services you need most, while presenting more and better-organized information on student news and events. As with the new look for nmc.edu that launched in January, there may be a few kinks to work out in the beginning. Please let us know if you see something that might need a tweak. And as always, we welcome your feedback.
