Kulisheck Honored by MCC

Robert Kulisheck (Political Science), another longtime faculty member retiring this month – with 38 years at NMU – will receive the 2007 Michigan Campus Compact (MCC) Lifetime Achievement Award for positively impacting students' education through community service-learning activities. He will be honored at a dinner during the MCC annual conference Feb. 7-8 in Mount Pleasant.

The lifetime achievement award is the highest honor offered by MCC. Kulisheck was recognized by the organization earlier this year with a community service-learning award.

With more than 20 years of experience working in the field of experiential education, Kulisheck has developed internship programs in the local area and in Washington, D.C., created a master's of public administration fellowship program, served as the university’s academic service learning advisory board chair and extended service-learning opportunities to students throughout the campus. He also is active in the community.

According to its Web site, MCC promotes the education and commitment of Michigan college students to be civically engaged citizens through creating and expanding academic, co-curricular and campus-wide opportunities for community service, service-learning and civic engagement.
