TRAVERSE CITY — During its regular monthly meeting, the Board of Trustees for Northwestern Michigan College unanimously approved a balanced budget and set tuition rates for the fall 2015 and spring/summer 2016 semesters.
General Tuition rates for residents will increase by $5.45 per contact hour, setting the in-district rate at $96.35 per contact hour. A Grand Traverse County student attending full time on average will see a general tuition increase of $130.80 for the academic year.
NMC’s in-district tuition is the 6th lowest of the state’s community colleges and is 75 percent lower than the average public universities in Michigan.
Community college revenue comes from three main sources: tuition and fees, local property taxes and state appropriations. “Historically those funding sources have shared the burden equally. But during the past thirteen years, the share paid by property taxes and state funding has decreased. Students, who once paid a third of the cost, are now paying more than half. We at NMC have worked hard to navigate this shift and have had the lowest average percentage increase in tuition of any community college in Michigan for a decade,” said Timothy J. Nelson, president, Northwestern Michigan College.
For 2015-16 NMC’s revenue will be 20 percent from state aid, 22 percent from local property tax, 55 percent from tuition and fees and three percent from other sources.

Saturday, July 11 NMC will be marching down the parade route in the National Cherry Festival’s Cherry Royale Parade. The presentation will be led by President Nelson, followed by Chip the faux buffalo from the NMC Barbecue and then our float with folks handing out Hawk Owl temporary tattoos to the parade goers! And of course, the NMC entry would not be complete without the ever-popular brat truck which is staffed by the wonderful folks at the Hagerty Center who will hand out brats all the way down the parade route.
Would you like to volunteer to help hand out brats or Hawk Owl tattoos? Call Anne Varga at 995-1020 or email her at avarga@nmc.edu if you would like to be a part of a great day! All volunteers will receive a Hawk Owl t-shirt to wear in the parade and keep as a souvenir! (more…)

The Arnold Line has generously donated 4 adult tickets to the Captain’s Dinner Fundraiser (which supports 3 student groups: Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, The Sailing Club and Women on the Water). Unfortunately we received them after the dinner took place. Perhaps someone in the NMC community might be interested in purchasing them! The value of each adult ticket is $18. So, for a set of two, you can purchase for $30 ($6 discount). They are valid until October 31, 2015. To purchase please email Judy Druskovich (Jdruskovich@nmc.edu). Judy will let you know if you are the first to respond. (more…)

When the National Cherry Queen is crowned next month, Hannah Beaudry will be hoping the luck of the pine tree is on her side.
The NMC student is one of four finalists vying for the 2015 crown. If she wins, Beaudry, 19, will become the fifth queen within the past decade with NMC connections.
“Being able to have a college experience in beautiful Traverse City, Michigan, is such a blessing to me. Hopefully there’s a lucky charm with NMC and cherry queen, but who knows,” said Beaudry, a 2013 Elk Rapids High School graduate who is studying elementary education.
She’ll finish her NMC classes in December and then go on to complete her bachelor’s through Central Michigan University at the University Center.
The Cherry Queen scholarship would cover the remainder of her tuition costs, she said.
“It would be life-changing to earn that scholarship and graduate college debt-free,” she said.
At NMC, Beaudry’s favorite instructor has been history professor Jim Press.
“He made us think in such an amazing way. He really focused on critical thinking,” she said. “The way he lectures is like he’s telling a story, and it just made history so interesting. And I did not love history before that.”
On July 10, Beaudry will hope to make National Cherry Festival history, walking away with the crown first awarded in 1925.
