Get Ready for the Wildcat Weekend Information Fair!

One of the very first things you will do when you get to Wildcat Weekend is take a walk through our NMU Information Fair, so we want to give you a preview of which offices will be there and what types of services are provided to NMU students through each office.  Representatives at each table will be eager to answer your questions! 

Housing & Residence Life —This office coordinates all residence hall living at NMU.  Bring your questions about our suite-style housing, housing assignments, roommate assignments, meal plans, room and board rates, and programming in our residence halls.

Center for Student Enrichment (CSE)—This office works with all NMU student organizations, volunteer opportunities, and leadership development programs.  If you are looking to get involved at NMU, this is the office to see! 

Dean of Students Office—Think of the Dean of Students Office as the student advocacy office on campus.  If you're having a problem or need help with anything as an NMU student, DOS can help with finding the resources you need.  Programs overseen by DOS include the student conduct program, First Year Programs, Multicultural Education Resource Center, and Disability Services.

First Year Experience (FYE)—Would you like to be able to register early for your first semester courses?  Would you like to take a block of courses with other students in your major (or other undecided students if you don't have a major yet)?  Would you like to take a freshman seminar course that will introduce you to strategies for being successful in college? It’s a program proven to increase first semester success! Find out more about NMU's First Year Experience program here. 

Disability Services—This office provides assistance for students who are qualified under the Americans with Disabilities Act to receive required accommodations.  Typical services provided for eligible students include extended test time, quiet room testing, note taking services, alternate text formats, and assistive technology.

Multicultural Education & Resource Center (MERC)—This office partners with students, faculty, staff, and alumni to build a vibrant, stimulating and safe learning community where cultural diversity is highly valued, differences are respected and people from all cultures and backgrounds flourish.  MERC provides engaging multicultural programming for the entire NMU campus community. 

Recreational Sports—If you hope to be involved in playing sports on NMU's campus and/or staying in shape, this is the office to see.  Recreational Sports oversees club and intramural sports teams as well as NMU's fitness and recreational facilities.  Don't forget to stop in to the Physical Education Instructional Facility (PEIF) for free use of the facilities while you're on campus for Wildcat Weekend!

Health Promotion Office (HPO)—HPO's mission is to" work toward a healthier and safer student body" by providing programming and information on topics such as alcohol, tobacco, other drugs, sexual assault & dating violence prevention, sexually transmitted disease prevention, and gambling & gaming.  HPO also supports alcohol-free programming on campus. 

Honors Program—The Honors Program at NMU provides academically qualified students the opportunity to challenge themselves by taking honors-level classes, engaging in many out-of-class learning experiences with other honors program students and faculty, undertaking a senior capstone project, and earning an "honors" designation on their college transcripts. 

Career Services--NMU Career Services provides resources and services focused on assisting students with career placement and career decision-making activities.  Career Services hosts several job fairs on NMU's campus every year and oversees on-campus job postings for current NMU students. 

Academic & Career Advisement Center (ACAC)-- ACAC is the place for answers to all of your academic and career questions. ACAC provides professional advisers to guide students through their search for a major and/or career.  Students who begin at NMU without knowing a major (undecided) will be advised by an ACAC advisor until a major is declared. 

Reserve Officers Training Corps (Army ROTC)—Students interested in serving in the United States Army, National Guard, or Army Reserves as well as getting their NMU degree may be interested in NMU's ROTC program.  Along with regular classes, NMU ROTC students take one military science course and leadership lab per semester.  Substantial scholarship money is available through the program. 

International Programs Office—Are you thinking of studying abroad during your time at NMU?  Stop here to find out information about NMU's many study abroad opportunities.
