Community input on strategic plan sought

TRAVERSE CITY — Northwestern Michigan College welcomes community input on the future of the college at a strategic planning input session Wednesday, Oct. 15 as well as via an online survey.

The meeting will be held from 6–7:30 p.m. in the Timothy J. Nelson Innovation Center rooms 106/107. The survey will be open until Oct. 29.

The strategic planning process will engage all college stakeholders — faculty, staff, students, alumni, board and community members — in focusing energies and resources for 2026–2029. It will build on the success of NMC Next, the strategic plan that ran from 2022–25.

“The voices and critical insights of our entire community, beyond the campus borders, are important to the success of our efforts, and we value everyone’s participation as we engage in this collaborative process,” said NMC President Nick Nissley.

The final strategic plan document is expected to be presented to the Board of Trustees at its December meeting and then launched to the campus community in January 2026.

Release date: October 2, 2025
