NMC Legacy
75 Years of Excellence: the NMC Legacy Honorees
The NMC Legacy list is a special group. It is a tribute to the legends and trailblazers who were instrumental in building the foundation of this college. Every individual on this list has previously been honored with the college’s most prestigious recognitions—the Outstanding Alumni Award or the NMC Fellow. Some hold both, representing a lifetime of dedication to the mission and values that make NMC such a special place to learn and grow.
As we look back on 75 years, we also take this moment to honor legacy members who are no longer with us. Though they have passed on, their influence is woven into the fabric of this institution. Their achievements continue to serve as a light for current students, and we are proud to ensure their names and stories remain a permanent part of our history.
The Legacy honorees’ achievements have set the standard for every student who has followed. We invite you to explore this list, to reconnect with familiar names and join us in welcoming the newest class of Outstanding Alumni into this distinguished community. Your continued connection to the college is what keeps our community vibrant.
*In Memoriam, honoring a legend who is no longer with us, but whose impact continues to shape NMC.
