Back in September, Marina found a lost rental book in the Osterlin Building and returned it to the bookstore.

A huge thank you and hats off to the Testing Center team for helping students get through finals week! The team exhibited patience, flexibility, and true collaboration as they navigated a snow day in the midst of the busiest time of the academic year. While the Testing Center in the Osterlin Building typically sees 200 tests on the busiest day of finals, last Friday they welcomed over 300 students! The team also opened the PTC on Friday and OTC on Saturday for extra hours to accommodate student and faculty needs. Thank you to Nicole and all of the test proctors (Alex, Duane, Tom, Dan and John) for your dedication to our students!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kudos to Residence Life Team<\/strong>. At the end of a long semester, the Residence Life team went above and beyond to help students by keeping the halls open through Saturday and Sunday. Last week&#8217;s snow day in the midst of final exams threw students, faculty and staff for a loop and the incredible leaders in Res. Life adapted! Thank you to Marcus, Kaitlyn, Brooklyn, Corbin, CJ and all of the RAs who courageously extended their time in the halls to meet students&#8217; needs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kudos to Nicole Wenstrup and Lindsey Dickinson<\/strong>. Nicole just started her role as the Testing Center Specialist and navigated exam week with the dreaded snow day expertly! Both her and Lindsey were instrumental in helping students and proctors have a smooth and successful experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kudos to our food pantry volunteers<\/strong>. Over the past seven years, the NMC Food Pantry has been a vital resource for students, providing countless meals with dignity and convenience while navigating numerous logistical challenges. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do for our students!<\/p>\n<hr style=\"border-style: none; border-top: dotted 5px; color: #008365;\" \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-51670\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/AdobeStock_589564120.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"71\" height=\"104\" \/>Experts suggest maintaining an &#8220;attitude of gratitude&#8221; increases positivity for yourself and for others.
