Summer in Marquette

Whether you are in town for a new student orientation session, or here for a scheduled campus visit, summer in Marquette is a great time to do a little exploring. With plenty of public access to the lakeshore, both sandy beaches and rocky coastlines are waiting for you. Want to do a little hiking or biking? We have hundreds of acres of state and federal forest land within minutes of town. In town, at the Mattson Lower Harbor park, you can take in a concert or one of our many summer festivals, or explore the historic downtown area. Want to learn a little more, try our Living in Marquette web page for a start!

Meet an admissions counselor

Chrissy Carr is the admissions counselor who covers the lower central region of Michigan  for NMU. She is originally from Indiana, so knows all about being a long way from home while at college! Her favorite things to do in Marquette are cruising the many biking and walking trails around town. She also likes snowshoeing in the winter, and walking the shore of Lake Superior in the summer.
