It is a grassroots effort requiring support from all connected organizations in the region. Denver Peters and Lisa Rabaut represented NMC and were instrumental in joining the planning committee to design and build out a robust week of offerings. In addition, they planned and executed events including OOPs for Education, a BlueTech Ideation Challenge, a future of drones panel, marine technology \/ Freshwater Research and Innovation Center offerings, and more. Lisa Cooper assisted with planning and logistics for the events on NMC&#8217;s campus, helping events run smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to everyone at the college that supported aspects of NMSW!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kudos to the Facilities Team! <\/strong>Kudos to the Facilities Dept. for helping with setting up the 5th Annual NMC Learning Symposium events!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kudos to Tali Morrison! <\/strong>Congratulations to Tali Morrison, our student success and retention office manager, for her incredible work on our successful Career &amp; Majors Fair. The logistics of an event this size are daunting, but Tali managed it with total professionalism and calm. Thanks to her planning and leadership, we hosted over 200 students and community members, 60+ employers, and 18 academic departments. A big thanks goes out to all of the academic areas for their participation and outreach to advisory board employers as well! Creating a space where students can bridge the gap between their learning at NMC and their future careers is core to our mission, and this event executed that vision perfectly. Tali&#8217;s ability to coordinate diverse stakeholders and manage complex logistics was the primary reason this event was our most successful yet. Please join me in thanking Tali for her leadership, dedication, and hard work!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kudos to Elizabeth Sonnabend! <\/strong>With the help of an anonymous industry partner, Extended Education &amp; Training is bringing back entry level manufacturing seminars through NMC. This partner has started a fund with the Foundation to support EET in resourcing these seminars and other similar training. His goal is to keep the cost down for students, so that we can have more skilled entry level manufacturing employees. These students will have the ability to continue on through credit programs through the strategic pathways laid out by the NOMIAC and NMC&#8217;s strategic plan. Thank you, Elizabeth, for making this happen!<\/p>\n<hr style=\"border-style: none; border-top: dotted 5px; color: #008365;\" \/>\n<p><strong>Who&#8217;s been a Hawk Owl Helper or Hero for you?
