Early College Opportunities
On April 19, the SD 125 class travelled to NCMC's main campus in Petoskey to complete a tour and meet with their advisor Cassidy Leirstein. This tour helps the students to acclimate with the new experience of being in the Early College program through Gaylord High School. Students were able to see first-hand the facilities and talk to a few of the instructors. Included in the tour were Mechatronics, the library, Student and Community Resource Center (SRCR), and the Health Services building where students saw the high-fidelity simulation mannequins.
There are many helpful resources that the students can take advantage of as an NCMC student such as tutoring and mental health services. Students were given information about the new sports teams and the dorms since their fifth year of the program will be on campus.
It was a big day; they also posed for their student identification card and they were able to sample the delicious fare provided by the Iron Horse Café.
Just before departure, the tour stopped at the Borra Learning Center Student Commons to speak with student club organizers about possible ways to get more involved in college. There were many clubs represented such as the honor societies, chess club, student housing club, and the entrepreneur club. The tour also stopped at the Gaylord campus to see the building and classroom there.
