Childs (right) served as a member of the NMC Foundation Board from 1990&#8211;1999 and as an elected member of the Board of Trustees from 2001-2020. He bookended those two decades by serving on the search committees that led to the selections of both&#160;immediate past NMC president Tim Nelson and current president Nick Nissley.<\/p>\n<p>Childs epitomizes NMC values including integrity, collaboration, respect, stewardship and excellence. During his trustee service, which included two years as board chair, NMC continued to grow and flourish. Childs and his late wife, Helen, have also supported NMC philanthropically for 35 years.<\/p>\n<p>Ann Rogers&#8217; support and advocacy for NMC spans more than six decades and three generations of family. Her late husband, science instructor and 1985 Fellow Joe Rogers, spearheaded the construction of the Rogers Observatory, and she created a science scholarship as a birthday gift to him. She went on to create four scholarships, the most recent being in support of students who are active in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) work at the college.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Ann Rogers\" class=\"AlignImageRight\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/6257e4c10a0a00b876ae0be9f87803a8Ann_Rogers-2022-1.jpg\" width=\"300\" \/><span class=\"AlignCaptionRight\">Ann Rogers (<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/6259688f0a0a00b876ae0be9f758e648Ann_Rogers-2022-high-resolution-1.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\".jpg image (link opens new window)\">download a high-resolution version here<\/a>)<\/span>Environmental advocacy is Rogers&#8217; (right) other passion.

Rogers is the mother of two former NMC students, and grandmother to three.<\/p>\n<p>The Fellow is Northwestern Michigan College&#8217;s highest honor, awarded since 1964. Fellows may be nominated because they have demonstrated influential networking on behalf of the College, have demonstrated a pattern of outstanding financial or personal time contributions to NMC, or as a retiree of the College continue to contribute back to their academic or professional fields as volunteers, mentors or advisors.
