Get Involved

Joining a student club or organization is a great way to meet people who share the same interests, develop your leadership and career skills, and supports the community.  Volunteer at the NMU Hoop House to grow food on campus that may be eaten in the dining hall or help promote geography with Gamma Theta Upsilon.

Testimonial by Emilee Gooch

Throughout this school year, I have had the opportunity to serve an an intern at the Upper Peninsula Children’s Museum as an environmental educator. This role served as my Community Service Internship for my participation in the Student Leader Fellowship Program. It has been a phenomenal opportunity to connect with kids in the local community and spread awareness and excitement regarding natural resources, science, and the environment. During my time in this role, I helped to lead a variety of events and activities, including pelt identification of native mammals, planting vegetable seeds, and listening to the heartbeats of reptiles to learn about cold-blooded species. This internship has been a wonderful introduction into the world of environmental education and I have loved every second of it!
