Dwight Brady (Communication and Performance Studies) received a Michigan Emmy Award presented by the state chapter of the National Television Academy in June. He and two employees of WKAR-TV in East Lansing were recognized for their contributions to Michigan at Risk, which won for best public/community affairs series. Brady produced a documentary for the program titled “Michigan’s Green Energy Economy” as part of a joint project between WNMU-TV and WKAR-TV. It aired statewide in November and explored how investment in solar, wind and biofuels is creating economic growth in the state. 
After their selection as 2007 Dornquast Scholars, three NMU students participated in a week-long trip to the renowned repertory theater festival in Stratford, Ont. They received tickets to four shows, ranging from Oklahoma! to Othello, and were treated to a backstage tour that allowed them to mingle with actors and designers in an informal setting.
